Thc Last Days of Court. At thc time of " going to press " last woe tho Court was engaged in hearing tho case tho State against LOOPER and the DURNA* for the murder of Col. Titos. R. MILLER, North Carolin'!. Thursday afternoon thc gttinont commenced. Col. NoilTPN open on the part of tho Stato, and was followed Gen. EAS LEY for JAM KS PERRY LOOPER Friday morning, Gen. MCGOWAN spoke thc same party. Gen. HARRISON, whore[ scntcd PERRY A. DURHAM, ALLEN DURII ?nd A. J. DURHAM, was then heard. ] Gov. PERRY closed for LOOPER. Mr. Rr. tho able and indefatigable Solicitor, closed caso for the State. Tho ease was submit by tho Judge, to tho jury, at dark, on third day of tho trial. Thc jury, after an .senec of one and a half hours, returned Couti, with a verdict of "guilty," as to P RY A. DURHAM ; " manslaughter," as LOOPER and ALLEN DURHAM J and " guilty," as to A. J. DURHAM. Saturday morning, tho case of thc ii against Mrs. SARA II CALHOUN, widow, Floyd Craig, colored, charged with inf; cidc, was taken up. Gen. HASKELL Judge WICKLIFFE appeared for thc freedi and Maj. ADAMS foi Mis. CALHOUN, il some time spent thereon, the case was g by His Honor to tho jury, who found a diet of "guilty" against Mrs. CALHOUN, of " not. guilty " ns to thc freedman, F Craig. Calo Halium*, freedman, charged 1 murder, was admitted to bail in tho sui 61,000. Thiscaso goes over to the next t to enable thc officers of tho law to arres possible, thc parties who were present ai killing of young WILLIAMS, of Anderson trict. At noon, thc prisoners were brought t< "bar of justice," when His Honor, in tt ing and eloquent language, passed tho tooee of tho law, as follows : PATRICK CLIFFORD, horso stealing, hung on Friday tho 23d November next, PERRY A.

Tho Blue Rid0j Rail Road The stockholders of that influential anil wealthy corporation, says tlhv " Charleston Courier," "the Louisville ami Nashville Rail Road," nt their annual meeting on- ?st Octo ber, determined upon tho extension of their Lebanon Brauch Road from "Crab Orchard," its present terminus, to tho Tennessee line, at a point to which the Knoxville and Kentucky Rail Road is now being built. This fact in itself would bean unimportant event, but for its ultimata bearing on thc prospects of the lilac Ridgo Ruad. When the great Northwest crosses tho Ohio River, on a permanent iron brtdgo, which is now-be ing constructed at Louisville and^jourueya Southward, to Knoxville, over un unbroken linc of first class rail roads, it will not bo for the purpose of making Knoxville its depot. j Far from it-tho stream of travel, the gignii I tie tonnage from the rallies of thc Ohio and Mississippi, and from thc shores of tho groa I lakes, are seeking un outlet on thc Smith At lo ni ic con.it, (ind the connecting link l's tin Blue Ridge Rail Road. Wc may orowd it out of sight under t?u moro urgent needs of the present times, SOUK may say " it will never be," but thc seed planted in tho " Rebuii Gap," must grow au? will bring us ample roturas. Three millions of money in tunnels, in inn SOnry and in actual road, is too important fact to be overlooked, when the commerce-.o the great NV est shall have reached Knoxville It will not be ovcrloi ked if our people wil but do their duty. Admit that they havo ll money now for any rail road eiltcrptiso-goo will does not cost anything. Let us then nev cr forget thu importance of keeping this prc ject always in mind, and if wo cannot wor ourselves, this year or next year, the yearn, ter may bring us a helping hand. Our authority for tho statement of thc prc ! posed extension to Knoxville, is a letter r< j ocived herc yesterday frotn that able rail roa . officer, Albert Fink, Esq., Engineer of th Louisville and Nashville Kati Hoad. A Cern?an by birth, he Ins, by his great ah? j ky and indomitable energy, gathered aroun him a wide circle of friends in his adopte homo, and our own merchants who visite Louisville in .lune hist, speak with much fee ing of his eorrte.ey and his words of goc i cheer in behalf of our Hine Itidgc Rail Uo.v A Sad Conclusion. The Editor nf thc "Charleston News," a late number of his p iper says : " Disagreeable, then, ns tho prospect hu be, we ure forced to conclude that without, ni power in us lo control the tide < f events, 1 are drifting slowly back into tho Union i the basis of the Constitutional Amcndmei and that we will only cease to occupy o present anomalous position when we. aro r< r esented in Congress by men who c:in ta the test oath, and when our .Stdo offices : filled by men who have never violated an c press oath of allegiance to the United State* The Markets On thc 23d, in New York, colton was qi ted at 39 to 1".

Thc Conservatives 1 one member of Congress. Tho Radical majority in Indiana has bi shorn of several thousand votes. The Com vatives have gained ono Congressman. In Ohio tho Radicals have increased maj i tics. Still, the Conservatives have gained i Congressman. Iowa is ultra Radical and holds about usual majority.

N^flr YORK, Out. 17, 18G?. COL. TUOMPHOH.: ??onv Sir-Lust night I attended a political meeting in Cooper In stituto, and Wai 6?; disgusted that 1 left before thc meeting was near a oloso. I3ut I remained i long enough to hear severs! speeches deliver ed-two of considerable lougth ; ono by Ex Viee-Prcsidenfc HAMLIN, and- tho otTior by Senator WlLSO?ir'of Massachusetts. Their speeches amounted only to a tindo of bitter ! calumny on tho South-such as I hoped never to heir front an Aim erin? I?. HAMLIN is quite facetious, trios to bo witty, and withal is a great demagogue; WILSON basas much New England bigotry as you could conceive possi ble to bc concentrated io one mau.
