The wheat must be steepeti in litis brine at least twelve hours. f? I. It is then to vje*put on a clcan floor, and hot slacked lime silted over it, sufficient to separate ti e grains of wheat, and randy, as it were, every grain with a coat of limr; to do this, it must be well turned, a i'(l sli'ied with an iron shovt 1: tn this stale .1 is to he taken immediately to the field, sown, and fur rowed it;: oi if eaily in the sea- on it is sometimes ploughed ir onsKRv.% noxs, The most con vMiictt piactical man ner of peiforiniiig the opention of bli ning is as follows:?

Post) is only one out of fifty ruses, which we could narrate, where an innocent person was tried, condemned, an*' executed, and where his innocence was afterwards made manifest. We have heard it g ave ly stated, by a judge holding one of (he highest static". s in the English criminal courts, that in oa??- of murder, the law considered circumatantia! evidence enti tied to more consideration, and carrying I witb it more positive evidence ol guilt than direct testimony; and we are afraid, from he number of erroneous convic tions that have taken place in our coun try, that this extraordinary doctrine is recognized as sound law in our criminal courts. But how easy is it for the villain, who meditates the murder of another, to ^ay his plans in such a way as to turn suspicion from himself, and fix it on an inuueeni person? Dcsti ut^ ever j -.park oi honor and humanity, his only object is to screen himself from' justice. Hav ing resolved on the death of on*: individ ual, what scruples can he have about sa crificing another, or even ten others, to avert the penalty which the law affixes to hi* crime? ? How easy is it for him to obtain possession of a sword, a pistol, a dagger, or the clothes cf one utterly un acquainted with, and having no suspicion of liis schemes, and ultcr he has perpe trated the murderous deed, to placo these articles in such ?itua*i'>ns that it would be immediately concluded they belong ed to the murderer? We have known more tharfene instance of a plan similar to this having b? eu carried into effect, and where, in consequence of the arti cles found near the dead body having been sworn to as the property ol the in nocent accused, his condemnation and exe cution followed ar a matter of course. We have no doubt the guilty villain, in the vase before us, pursued this course, which led to the death of a worthy citi zen; and although justice has at last overtaken him, it cannot be otherwise than a matter of regret, that a principle shouid be recognised in our criminal ju risprudence, which gives a colour to so horrible an outrage as that oi putting an innoccnt person to death. For the sake of our public institutions, for the hotv.r of our national character, and lor the cause of humanity, we trust the national legis lature will take up the subject, and ap ?L'aLrerofdy 'v so woif'tous From the ProvitlenCv. Journal. " John C. Hamilton was executed in Kentucky a few yeurs since, ( 1817.) for the murder of P.r. Sanderson, of Natch ez, Mississippi. A man has recently been executed in Mobile, who confessed him self the murderer ol Sanderson, and de clared that Hamilton was innocent." Sunt hem Pinter. The annals of judicial proceeding* ra'cly a fiord a trial and execution, ol a rnnrc extraordinary and distressing cha racter than this, and it should be univer sally < itculaled, that judges and jurors may be guarded against condemning supposed culprits on circumstantial evi dence. Young Hamilton throogh lile had suppoi ted an uitl>lemishe>l cha racter, and obtained the love, estc em ard admiration of all ,vho had the pleasure of hi> acquaintance. As is common with the >oung gentlemen ol Kentucky, he was in the piaclicc of spending the win ter season in the genial ciimate of Mis sissippi.? On bis return fr< m a winter rt si lenre in that quarter, he accidental ly fill in company with Dr. Sanderson, who being in ill health, was journeying to tbc celebrated watering place at liar rodshuig Spa, with hope of recovering his lost health, and as he was anxious to make something out of his pilgi image, be took with hint a large sum of mo ney, with which he contemplated t?ur chasirg negroes on speculation. On his way up the country, his infirmities in creased, and as he wj . apprehensive he might expire on the road, he commit t?d to the charge of Hamilton his trea sure, having in a short acquaintance discovered that he was worthy of unlimi ted confidence. In a lew days, howtxer, his indisposition abated, when he pursu ed his journey and finally arrived in .<afe ty at the rcsidenc* ol Hamilton, in Bar ren county, Ky. wnere he remained du ring the summer, and received from his oung friend every mark Vr couriftry, attention and hospitality. Ill* <h? month of October, I)r. Sanderson made ar rangements to depart, and on taking leave of this hospitable host, young Hamilton accompanied him several mile? on the rood, and then took an af fectionate farewell. Ten or twelve flays after, a* tome hunters were rambling through the forest, they discovered the body of I)r. Sanderson in a state of cor ruption, shot in several places, and mangled in the most shocking manner. As Hamilton was last seen with him, and as it was known that he had from timt 10 time, made use of sums of mon^y on gmally the property ot Sanderson, sus picion fell on his he*d, and he was ar rested, tried and executed. Previous to his arrest h* was advised to leave the country, to avoid danger, but as he was conscious of his inno cence, he disdained to take a step which would cast a cloud of obloquy and dis* grace upon his character* and resolute ly remainrd at home. JL% the inhabi tants of the country ^erc divided in their opinions as to gujlt, the affair gradually died awayibut Hamilton be ing anxious that a trial?Aou/tf take placc, finnly i elieving that m such an even:* hie reputation would remain ui.apotted, he solicited at the hands of justice a trial, which, lo his asionis'.iroeut and sor row, closed with hi* condemnation. The only evidence against him was circum stantial, viz thai near the bo?'y of San derson were found a bloody pair of pantaloons, and a pistol, br.th bearing the name of Hamilton. Through the whole of the trial he manifested that fortitude and deteimined crclne-.s, cn'? racieri?*!c 'jf in* acente, and cxpiKd with a lull conviction that the rv?l mur derer would ultimately he discovered. ?? " When on the scaffold he took a mai.ly leave of the world, expressed not the least n gret for his fate, but lamented that his misfortunes would cloud the prospects of his family, and shed an in delible disgrace on his memory. ? Thus through the weakness of the law, was an interesting young man and a worthy citizen hurried from the world, and doomed to expiate on the gallows, that crime committed by the handb of a vil lain and assassin.? It may be proper Tor the welfare of the world, to piss sen tence on the ac< u ed, on the authority of circumstantial evidence, but it would be fir better, Oy statute, to annt 1 the practice; and it was the opinion of l^rd Hale, that it were better to suffer nine ty-nine guilty persons to escar.w, 'hsn to punish, unjustly, one that is n lucent. Marshal A'eij. ? A story is running through t ne papers, of this country, th:u maish.il Nty, art<1 captain Michael Ru dolph, a captain of Lee's Legion, iuihe rrvolutiunary war, is one ar.d tl?2 same person, and the story is supported with some ingenuity, but vejy little proba bility, and, as it will present^^ shewn, without the i>os*ibilitj0tfwi^& SetunVj#^ the im po'-sibiltfw^f Aft n h lo? it n to -?v &. ';f< ? drcn.) or any oT t fie laTtmy , "WW > crr? - ? curr.stanres will be noticed that ouvrht to put this story at res:. At what time captain Rudolph, so often mentioned in Lee's memoirs, became a captain in * hat corps, is not known lo.the writer of tins article. The first notice of captain Ru dolph is at page 2 53 of the mcmoiis: about the beginning of December, 1780, Lee's corps joined the army of general Green, a lew days alter whit h the at tack on (ieotgtlown was planned, in \thich the captain took his usual part. Do hi* trial, to one of the questions propounded to him, the marshal an swered, "my name is Micbad Ney, born at San Louis, the Feb. 1769." N'-w, if the marshal had any reason to conceal the place o! his nativity, there could be no mo.ive to conceal the time; indeed, on such a solemn occasion, one can scarcely suppose a falsehood would be staled of no importance in the trial. The marshal, tt.cn, was born in Febru ary, 1769. Capt tin Rudolph had risen to a captaincy of Cavalry, in Decembei, 1780; at which time the marshal, ac cording to his own account of himself, had not attained his twelfth yeai! It would be well, if those w So instruct the public, were to be less fond of the marvellous, and more attentive, to fact*. ?V<-*ycMr llrra 'J.
