We published, yesterday morning,
the charge of this judge to the grand
jury. In lieu of any comments of j
our own, we subjoin the handling he ,
receive* from tho Richmond papers:
The Times says: "Nothing conld
have been more felicitous than the
reference of the Court to the law of
i the United States punishing thc -ob- ?
sfructiou of justice* by threats, inti- j
initiations, bullyings, AC, ?-.nd we ]
thoroughly agree with the Court that ?
?whoever attempts to impede or ob- j
struct the administration of justice' i
shonld be punished. In revolution- j
ary times, men have been murdered
by unscrupulous officials, who have
intimidated juries and forced thom
to disregurd the litw find tho evi?
dence. *
"English history is unfortunately
full of horrible instances of these
'obstructions of justice' All of us
have read of Jeffreys', for instance.
Juries should not be intimidated by !
threats or menaces. There have been 1
occasional instances of that sort of j
thing in this country, but, thanks to
tile courage of the bold, fearless and
noble press, such monstrous perver?
sions of justice have always been ex- j
posed and denounced. There was.
upon the part of a - judge of the Su?
preme Court, in 1800, in this vera?
city, an attempt, in the case of John
Thompson Callender, to 'obstruct
justice,' and an impeachment follow?
ed the experiment."
The Enquirer thus comments on
the charge: "The charge of Judge
Underwood demands some further
notice. It was a charge indeed! A
charge such as perhaps* was never be?
fore heard in the United States from
under tho judicial w ing, but a charge
whose language was of thc sort that
judges are in the habit of severely
punishing under the name of libels;
accusations such as men make when
when their passions run away with
their tongues, and when the indul?
gence of spleen is preferred to the
maintenance of self-respect. * *
"The temper of Judge Underwood's
charge is alone sufficient to condemn
it There is not a man in Richmond,
save the "more than ten" of whom
he speaks, who has not abundant
grounds in this charge to refuse to be
tried by bim, as personally prejudiced
and hostile to such a degree as totally
to disqualify him to sit as :t judge, lt
is a lamentable exhibition of aliena
. tion and hostility, where a person,
who, as Senator, seeks, politically, to
territorialize tho State whoso sove?
reignty he was elected to represent, is
also seen, as judge, to avow feelings
toward the people of his jurisdiction
that would disqualify even a jailor."
The Dispatch thus kicks him nlong:
"We have no desire to gratify Judge
Underwood's morbid love of noto?
riety. He evidently thinks that "the
youth who fired the Ephesian dome"
Ls real?y much more to be admired
than the "fool who built it.'" So
that his name is handed down to pos?
terity, he cares not how much it may
be execrated. His charge is a bid for
newspaper criticism, or we are much
mistaken. It is really beneath enti?
la -?yinrn .It utterly ignores thc subjects
M' 'usually touched npon by a judge, and
W abounds in fanatical slang, not to say
Y slander of the people of this city, lt
has about as much law in it as there
ia in the author's head, and is as cre?
ditable to his Honor, as a jurist, us
was tho order he made in Norfolk,
adjourning the court to this city,
without any authority of law, and
under which order he is now holding
u session of his court, at which, if
any decisions of importancu ure
made, they will inevitably be set
asido by the Supremo Court, on tho
ground that the session was illegally
held. Such a judge will not be likely
to .njure anybody but himself by his
intemperate harangues, and we* dis?
miss his case from our court."
The Examiner thus pays its re?
spects to him: "Judge Underwood's
supplementary charge to his itinerant
grand jury was uo more-deeent in ita
tone than was to bo expected from a
ma? of. his antecedents. - Ec cougratu
lates liiis complaisant jurors upon
having escaped with hfe from 'as?
saults* that originated in some ima?
ginary brain. 'Tho wicked ?leo when
none pursueth,' saith Holy Writ, ?nd
it may be that some of the Judge's
disciples wore alliicted with unfound?
ed fears for their safety. We have
said before, and we rui'-orate it, and
every respectable citizen of Hichmond
\iiH- verify it, tliat none of these men
in "Richmond were ever '? united,' or
even tluvaiencd, on aoeoiuit of their
action at Norfolk, nud Mr. Under?
wood prostitutes his position to give
credit to an infamous slander upon
our people when he thus speaks from
the bench.
.-'Thfl press of this city were abused
in un .'aaured terms, and it is evi
deut that the Judge is peeking to use
the influence ol* his office to w reak a
private vengeance on those who,
having im respect for him, have very
naturally shown him none. He calls
the Richmond press lie en tiona and
treasonable, and ascribes an untold
list of vices to its evil teaching. If this
monster of iniquity attacks the jury,
they are instrtui; 1 by tlris eminent
court that they iiave the power in
their hand both for defence and
offence. 1%o doubt tho press will
issue blank sheets to-day, in terror ol
tho fierce wrath that awaits any un?
guarded and disrespectful remark.
Wo venture to say, that as the liberty
of the press in Virginio existed
before him, it is likely to survive
him and his memory for many fu?
ture ages. He thinks a prostilntec
I press a great calamity, and gives hit
condescending approval to a virtuom
! one. We are happy to be able to.say
I in return, to use the Judge'? ligure o
? speech, that ve detesta prostitutei
: Judge, but that a virtuous ont- is ai
I object of our highest respect."
j The Whig thus sunimariIy-dispo.se
lot* him: "Underwood has arrived
I has opened Court-hos charged hi
j jury (which is not at all grand) i
! second time-has again maligned tb
j State of Virginia, adding a specia
slander of the city of Hichmond-ha
! vented his spleen against tho press
has shown himself a more ignoran
blockhead, a more malignant black
guard and a more indisputable ass
than he ever did before, although h
seemed to have reached the ne />/'<
ultra in (hose particulars before."
THE FIRST MARTYR.-Among th
graves visited by the ladies of th
Richmond Memorial Association o
the 31st of May, was that of Henr
Wyatt, of Edgeoomdc, tho first (Jot
federate soldier killed in regula

Virginian by birth, but was living i
Edgecombe County, at the commenc<
I meut of tho warland volunteered i

qnently Colonel) John L. Uridgers.
At the bottle of Bethel, loth <
June. 18131, he, with lour ot lier men (
Captain Bridgers company, volm
leered to tire a house which was o<
cupied by tho enemy's skirmisher
from which an annoying and galba
I fire was made upon our lines. Tb
duty was one of the must imminei
peril; but there was nu faltering t
hesitation on the part of the five ga
laut young men, and they steadil;
cheerfully advanced. -Vt the first iii
young Wyatt was mortally wound?
