The peaches brought to this market the present season have been extremely dimioative, oaring in some degree to t. e dry weather.

From a leltei received from a prominent ' gentleman of car District to rvi lUod to the , ab?<ve project, we u:u? the annexed ex- | tract : "f received a fetter from Mr. , a few ) ( days since stating that, "We are to h*ve a Railroad Convention in Kingal.-ee on tf>e 30th of this month.

The corn crop has been injured by the drought to a great extent, though, a sutti? cieot yield will be had. Cotton has livened up and looks well?so have farmers. The "McKenna Will Case We announced last week the commence- i ment c-f the trial of this cause at an Extra Temi of the Court for this District, beginning on the 23d July. The trial occupied five days, and at 12 o'clock on Friday night, the Jury rendered a vtrdict against the WU!. As we staled last week, this case dieted | a Vast degree of public interest j an interest unprecedented in the judicial history of our District. The feeling was entirely upon one side?against the Will, and if there was a contrary sentiment, beyond the p.?rties immediately interested,;I was too ?rcble to announce an existence amidst the over* he'-a iug voice on the other side.? The Court room was crowded e*ery day during the progress of the trial, and we touted among the spectators a good many ( strangers from adjoining Districts. The proceedings *e;e so extensive that it is impossible tor us to go into particulars, howeier well we would like to report a case of so much interest, a..d a oiere outline history of the progress of lh? cause and conne^t-ag circumstances, are all that we propose to furniah in this connection ?

Whether the formalities of the law had been complied with in the execution & of the WiUtd. Whether the testator had capacity to make a Will. 3d. Whether it was in fsct the Will of McKenna, and nut procured through undue influence. AfU-r reviewing the testimony upon the J tirwt point and the objection* thereto, hia Honor charged that to the execution of both the Will and Codkh ike requisitions of the law had been complied with. Hia Honor explained the law apoo the other point*: as to what constitutes undue influ* | ence, incapacity* infinity, delusion, dtc , and after summing up the testimony upon ail the potnta.verjr plainlr indicated his judgment that the fact* would not justify the ! grounds taken in either. He said, however, that it was the province of the Jury and not his to determine the factsjtnd if they concluded that the facts would justify such a case of Incompetency, or undue influence, in - j sanity. &.c , a* the law recognijes, they should And against the Wjij upon either or all of the grounds as they might determine The Jury went to their room a fewr minutes before 7 o'clock and came uut about 12 w"'ih a verdict against the Will upon all the grounds submitted in the pleadings. During the five hours that tbe Jury re- . mained in consultation, public aoxivty was at its height. I he general belief was that the jury would find ?gain*l the Will until after the strong and pointed charge of the Judge, when, in the judgment of the outsiders, it became much more doubtful ? Public rumor, however, has since declared that there was no contest among the jurors as to whether they would break the Will ; that was conceded at once, snd they only hesitated upon what grounds they would break it.

From these undeniable facia, written in the great book of nature, proven by ' experience, and not without sanction f.om revelation, my reasoo draw* the inference that negro slavery is not repugnant to ; justice?is not unprofitable to the white man?is not oppressive to ibe negro, and i is not inexpedient as a matter of social policy. lye*, us apply these views to our own 1 country. "Since the foundation of this He public negro slavery h*? *?er beer * main piliar of our strength, an inJi?pensable element of our growth and prosperi ty.

The Church tinrty Kin*: possession of the C*p.i n, and- tnw Liberals still hold Vera Crux All tlio rest ol the country contiouva to be dobateable ground, on wbitih the rival leaders meet occasionally to indulge in a little fighting practice. The battles, however, are rarely of a desperate and destructive character. If the Mexicans toogbt as Americans would, tlit country wbould Iikv? !?t!n almost depopulated St this time ; but the Mexicans know better than to fight hard when it in not absolutely necevssrv. Sometime* the opposing fune* juai come nenr enough to fee each other, and then prudently retreat, b^th side# claiming, of course, t? dec: led victory.
