Trial of the Election Rioters
in Washington.
It was stated in our Washington cor
respondence yesterday that the Crimin
al Court of that city commenced, on
Tuesday, the trial of the following par-
lies, indicated on the charge of being
concerned iu the late election liots in
that city :—Daniel Stewart, Isaiah
Stewart, Alexander Eggleston, George
Johnston, Wm. Garner, Charles Hurdle,
Robert Slatford, Wm. Jones. Charles
Spencer, Vanloman Johnson, George L.
Wilson, Wm. II. Wilson and Micheal
Hoover. Besides these parties, a large
number cf pet sons are embraced in the
indictments that have not been found.
Mr. Ivey appeared for the United States,
and Messrs. Bradley, Vespasian Ellis,
(late know-nothing editor.) Scott, (of
Wairenlon, Va.,) Ratcliffe, 'Carrington
and Martin for the defendants.
The first witness was John B God
dard, for die prosecution, but this evi
dence was, in the main, the same as e-
licted on the trial of the parties convic
ted a short time since. He testified
that the voting proceeded quietly until
the arrival, between 8 and 0 o’clock in
the morning, of a body of men called
Plug Uglies, from Baltimore, who, after
remaining a short time left, but re timed
increased in numbers by Washingtoni
ans, in about twenty minutes, when the
riot ensued, with the particulars of which
the public- are familiar. The Captain
himseif was struck with a brick whilst
expostulating with these parties as a
justice of peace—heard them urging to
•go in,’ and saw them assault the voters
with pistols, stones aud clubs, and drive
them off. With regard to tins subse
quent proceedings in the afternoon,
when the marines were called out, and
charged on the cannon of the rowdies
and took it, he staled that immediately
alter this charge was made, several pis
tols were fired from ihe crowds at the
marines, and one of the marines was
wounded in the face by a bal’. On this
a portion of the marines lowered their
muskets and fired across the street at
the crowd, who dispersed in all direc
tions. One part, ran down the street and
another up, both parties firing back at
the marines. At these parties, thus re
treating and filing, the marines who
had not already fired discharged tbeir
pieces.
Upon the cioss examination Mr. Brad-
lev, for the defense, desired to ask when
lie first knew of the ‘Plug Uglies’ being
in the eily ? Mr. Key objected, and a
long discussion ensued ; Mr. Bradley at-
guing that the knowledge on the part
of Mr. Goddard aud the mayor that the
‘Plugs’ were coming, and a failure to
call out the auxiliary guard to p>revent
their inteference with the election, e-
! vinced a purpose to employ military
: force in a tyranical and oppressive man-
i tier, and that the people were conse-

Important to Sheep Baiters.
A planter of some experience in raising
sheep, and who has a large flock in Stewart
county, Ga., informs us that in coosequence
of his ill success with the lambs of bis fleck,
on account of the coldness of the weather
Iambs usually qome, last year about tko
first of July be seperated tbe males from the
females, anti kept them apart until the 1st
of October; at wbiah time he turned them
together. The result was tbit his first
lambs appeared on’ the 23 of February en
suing, and within the next few days his
flock had 08 Iambs, all of which, on account
of tbe mildness of the weather, were raised,
whereas tbe year previous he only saved
aud raised 33, out of the same number of
sws.
The reason of his ill success, heretofore,is
that his lambs came in January, a month
usually too cold for them to survive. The
time of gestation for sheep is 143 days, and
by keeping tbe sexes seperated till the first
of October, tbeyonng cannot come forth be
fore the 23 of February. Those who attempt
to ‘raise sheep would do well to give atten
tion to this important fact. It is probably
not too late to make the trial the present

A Lady’s Idea of Kissing.—The ed
itress of the New York Ladies’ Reposi
tory, thus define»this luxury:
Kisses, like the faces of philosophers,
vary. Some are as hot as coal fire, some
sweet as honey, some as mild as milk,
some as tasteless as long drawn soda.
Stolen kisses are said to have more nut
meg and cream than any other sort. As
to proposed kisses, they are not liked at
all.

Suicide of a United States!
Senator.
New Orleans, Aug. 4.—United j
States Senator Thomas J. Rusk, of Tex-j
as, committed suicide at his residence, j
on the 29th July, by shooting himself}
through the head with a rifle. No cause
was assigned for this rash deed.
I’rofessor Hedrick who came out iu
favor of Fremont, lastfall, and who was
discharged from the North Carolina
University, is said to be in New York
in an almost starving condition. Here
we have a good illustration of abolition
philanthropy. While * man can render
them any assistance by betraying tbe
South, he is exalted with all honors;
but when this little hour of usefulness
is gone, they know him ucmore.

poleon’s Plan.
In the House ot Commons on. July 10th,
Mr. J. A. Turner said he had given notice
that he shonld put a question on a subject
which excited little interest out of doors
This country had made great sacrifices of
treasure and blcoi in the suppression of the
•lave trade. That the Government was
anxious that it should not be revived, might
be inferred from their refusal to repeal a
measuie which the Brazilian Government
strongly objected to. Thc French, however,
had taken a step which excited much alarm.
That step was the importation of negroes in
to their colonies from Africa. It was said
that free labor was intended; but those who
understood the subject knew that such an
idea was perfectly unfounded, and if tbe
project were carried out it would be a revi
val of the slave trade. (Hear, hear.) A
contract bad been made with a house at
Marseilles for tbe supply of Africans to tbe
French colonies. The ports, or settlements,
on the west coast of Africa to which Messrs.
Regis Freres, of Marseilles, intended to
send tbeir vessels for a supply of free bis eke
for the French West India colonies were
Whydah, Ash an tee, and Grand Bassam
The result would be tbst inroads would bo
made by tbe African chiefs, and the natives
would be driven down like black cattle to
the coast, so much a head being paid for
them. He concluded by asking whether any
communication bad taken place between
the English and French Governments re
specting the export of negroes from the west
const of Afaica to the French Colonies in the
West Indies, anti whether the nobl» lord at
the hoad of thc Government was aware iu
what manner the negroes were to be obtain
ed.
After a lew words from Sir E N. Bux
ton,
Lord Palmerston said that tbe Govern
ment had received information that a con
tract bad been made with a French firm for
the supply of 1,200 negroes for the French
colonies. Her Majesty's Government fully
appreciated the force of the remarks made
by the honorable member for Manchester.
(Hear, bear.) It was plain though, that as
slavery was abolished in the Frocch colo
nics, the negroes would not become by law
slaves; nevertheless, the bringing of these
negroes from Affiea would, in all human
probability, degenerate into a slave trade,
as far as Africa is concerned. An attempt
has been made by Great Britain to obtain
emigrants for our We3t Indian colonies; but
that attempt bad failed, and tbe great prob
ability was that tbe French Government
would fail also, if they carried into execu
tion an attempt so rife jrith tbeevilc of sla
very. These considerations hail been confi
dentially communicated to the French Gov
ernment, and they answered her Majesty’s
Government that it was their anxious desire
not to revive the evils of the slave trade, and
that every care should be takeu to prevent
it. As the matter now stood, tbe Govern
ment would obtain all the information they
could; and if such a state of affairs arose, as
was feared, would communicate it to tbe
French Government, and they could not
doubt tbat Government would at once stop «
proceeding not ouly opposed to all the prin
ciples of humanity, but to express treaty
stipulations. /Hear, hear.)
On Wednesday of last week, a farmer liv

cinnati road, above Greonsburg, saw a tree
