Commonwealth vs. Sears. --This case will come up to-day before the County Court of Chesterfield, sitting as an examining court. As we have hitherto neglected to publish them, we take this occasion to state the facts developed before Justice Snellings, of Manchester, who sent the defendant on to the County Court for examination. It was proved that Sears, who is a Pennsylvanian, obtained license on the 10th of July last to marry the widow of Geo. Tuckar. Previous to the celebration of the rites of matrimony between them, the parties entered into a marriage contract, in which it was stipulated that none of her property should be subject to execution for his debts, but that in case she died intestate, her estate should pass into the hands of a trustee, who was to pay over the rents and profits thereof to Sears until his death, when it was to take the course required by the Virginia law of descendents. Thus circumstanced, the parties were married. On the evening of Monday, the 26

his purposes to disrupt the Union by the doctrines which he held and the opinion he expressed, for this is "the head and front of my offending," and "this extent — no more." There is one other charge, which I have before replied to. I refer to the charge that I had once uttered that the soldiers of the Northwest would pass over my body before they reached the Southern States. I denied that before, and I deny it now. The gentleman has referred to a speech made here in debate on the 10th of July. But I defy him, sir, and I hurl defiance in his teeth, when I tell him he may take that speech and he cannot point cut one single, solitary disloyal sentence or word in it. I neither retract one sentiment which I have uttered, nor would I obliterate a single vote which I have given. I speak of the record as it will here after appear — indeed, as it now stands on the journals of this House and in the Congressional Globs. There is no other record you can get, and no act, or word, or thoug

ted, and they are as eager now to defend their Government, and as earnest in its behalf, as at any former time. This will be manifest as soon as active operations in the way of enlistments are engaged in. The season is unpropitious, as harvest labor is about commencing in all the rural districts; but there are hosts of able-bodied men for whom the war and the motives for entering the army will have a fascination not to be resisted." Drafting necessary at once.[from the New York world, July 10.] If, as we fear, the country must abandon all hope that Mr. Lincoln will make a change in his Cabinet; if this proof of the adoption of a more vigorous war policy, with new men and new measures for the crushing out of the rebellion, is denied to the people whose interests and all whose earthly hopes are at stake; if the President has, after full deliberation, finally determined to give no such response to the all but unanimous voice of the people, pronouncing their profound discontent w

mystifying the American public, that if they really should gain a great victory, the announcement of it will put New York into mourning, and ruin all the speculators for a rise in Government stocks. Mockery of English distress.[from the London times, 15th.] It is to be feared that the general anticipation of a very early prolongation will not be realized. The members of the House of Commons who looked upon this as a holiday session, and some of whom had fixed the already past 10th day of July as the last day of their labors, will probably have to put off their more pleasant engagements and prepare for a strain of severe and disagreeable work. We must share the penalty of the madness of that in sensate people across the Atlantic. Like monkeys grinning and chattering at mischief done in the mere instinct of wantonness, the American people have been triumphing in the distress they have been able to cause in our cotton districts, and their press gains popularity by depicting s

And interesting Journey. The Atlanta (Ga.) Southern Confederacy, of Augusta 16th, gives an interesting account of a recent trip to New York and back, by Dr. F. H. Orme, who left Atlanta on the 10th of Julylast, for the purpose of bringing a couple of ladies to the South. The Doctor, with his lady companions, had succeeded, after many hair breadth escapes, in passing through Louisville and Gallantin, on his way to Atlanta. The Confederacy thus gives the conclusion of his narrative, which we copy, as possessing all the interest of romance, and as connected with the movements of the gallant John H. Morgan. The editor says: The exact route he (Dr. Orme) travelled we will not indicate. He passed over the most rugged and sparsely populated country in Tennessee. Often the ladies were compelled to walk up steep mountains — the horses being able only to pull the wagon and the trunks.--Often neither they nor the horses could get anything to eat. One of the horses had nothing to
