TYPES.—7r may well be said u we live in an age
otwonder*:" discoveries upon discoveries follow each
other so rapidly, and inventions succeed inventions so
numerously that "the march of intellect" in the fields
of literature can scarcely keep pace with the strides
ot improvement in science ana the line arts. We
have scarcely become familiar with the electric lan
gaaz 'of the telezrsph—borne on its serial couriers
trom fl"aboard to frontier throughout our vast, intelli
pent and bappy republic—or ceased admiring the
magical beauty of the delicate and truthful Daguer
reotypes. transfixed by the instantaneous conceutra
tion of the sun'.-* rays ere we are again astonished by
another ar.d still superior invention, the Stereoscope.
We have been led to make these remarks alter
looking ar a Stereoscopic likeness of a beautiful young
lady, made doubly beautiful by the aid of this hand
maid to the arts, the Stereoscope. We must not for
gnt to say that we saw all this at SIMONS', 151 Main
s'reet. ttU 4

THE DAILY DISPATCH.
TRIAL OF WILLIAM 1, PORTER, FOR
MURDER.
[rkpobted rot th* dispatch.)
Louisa Circuit Court-Rich'd H. Field, Judge.
Commonteealth, r*. Wm. B. Portrr, charged with At
murder of Richard William*.
The sestion o» the Oourhcommeneed 00 Saturday
the 10th of September. For the Commonwealth,
iier Attorney, James L. Gordon, assuted by Charles
L. Jones, Esq. For the defence, Messrs. Hackett,
Robertson Si Gordon, and John 8. Fleming. The
Commonwealth's Attorney having sent the Grand
Jury an indictment charging the aaid Porter with
the murder of Williams, it was returned by them
endorsed "A true Bill; the Court thai adjourned
until Monday, the 13th, that being the regular Coun
ty Court day, in addition to the anticipated trial
of the prisoner, brought out a crowd of people from
this and adjacent counties, unprecedented even for
Louisa Courthouse, famed for its large gatherings.
The indictment hating been found true on Hatur
day, the prisoner was on Monday arraigned, and
through his counsel demurred to th« indictment and
to each count thereof, which demurrer was by the
Court overruled. The prisoner's counsel, next of
fered a plea in abatement, alleging informality in
the proceedings before the examining court; which
plea was rejected. The prisoner then plead "not
guilty;" whereupon, the Commonwealth was an
nounced to be ready to proceed with the trial: «o,
likewise the defence. The ventre summoned by
the Sheriff was then called: failing to obtain the re
quisite number of unexceptionable jurors, the
Judge from the bench issued new summons, and
the jury wa3 fully made out early on Tuesday
morning, the 13th, when the examination of wit
nesses commenced.
Ist witness for Commonwealth.— Wm. F. Leakp.
—Heard, on Sunday evening, 21st of March last,
that the body of a man was found in the South Anna
river. near the premises of the prisoner; went to
the place alsng with Mr. West; did not go by for
Porter, as he had been to preaching that day, but
sent a boy from Mr. West's to inform Porter; when
he returned, they found the body under a bluff
soifce fifty feet high; when it was drawn out of the
wafer, witness and others immediately recognised
it; water at that place some two feet seven inches;
when found, there was a strong rope or bed-cord
tied tighly around the arras above the elbows, and
the wrists were also confined (by the same rope.)
behind; it was a little after sunset when Porter
came down to the place where the body of Dick
Williams was; he took up Williams' hat, examined
if, walked around the body, and then stooped down
near the face, and examined it closely for some mo
ments and rose up, but said nothing; did not ask
who it was, by whom he was foumi, or express
either surprise or sympathy. Witness thouzht this
very strange conduct, though he did not notice any
particular embarrassment on the part of the pris
oner; it was not so dark but that prisoner or any one
else who knew Williams, could readily have recog
nized him. There was a veiy severe cut on the
head, extending from just above the right ear to the
back of the head, and another blow or cut on the
same side of the head, across the ear; cither blow
might have caused death. On Monday, witness
found tracks—three distinct track#—leading from
prisoner's house down to a fence, and thence on to
the bluff beneath which the body was found; there
was also a trail, or the appearance of some one hav
ing been dragged, visible tor several hundred yards.
On Wednesday before the March Louisa county
court, witness was at Mr. Butler's when a boy came
for the prisoner, and informed prisoner that Wil
liams was at his house; prisoner requested witness
and one Ilarlow to go with him and help to tie Wil
liams; said he wished to carry Williams to his wile,
and if she wished to live with him, she could go, if
tiot, Williams must quit his premise*; saw boy hand
prisoner a pistol after he had started from Butler's;
Williams' wife and Porter's wile were sisters; Wil
liams is a strong man; Porter has always been re
puted a very kind and peaceable man, and no
thing to big prejudice heard, save his connection
with the Misses Perry, one of whom be married and
another of whom was the wife of Williams, then
living at Porter's house. Witness identified the
rope with whjch Williams was bound.
_ Shelton Harlow.—Went down to the South Anna
river, hearing that some one was found there dead:
tbis was on Sunday evening, 20th of March last; sent
for Porter; in going to the river, found a trail and
followed it down to a fence, which was some two
hundred and five yards from the bluff at the river,
beneath which Williams was found. Porter came
down, and after setting there, examined the hat of
Williams, walked round the dead man several times
and then stooped down and looked into his face, and
rose, and made no remark whatever. Witness did
»ot think that prisoner on th t occasion either look
ed or spoke as he usually did; he looked very much
thrown back, and his voice seemed to stick in his
throat; there were the tracks ol three persons go
ing from near Porter's yard to river, and the tracks
of two persons going irom river to Porter's; saw
the blows on the head of Williams, sufficient to kill
any one. The tracks of two persons, with heavy
brogue shoes, were visible and made by persons
walking very closely, both to and from the river,
and to and from the yard of the prisoner. Witness
staedd with Williams the night he was found; Porter
was there on the next day, (Monday,) and witness
again noticed and remarked on the strange, unusu
al, and Hurried manner ol the prisoner. The head
of the trail, or impression of the dragged body, is in
a direct line from Porter's house; tHe bluff beueath
which Williams was found, is very steep, arid some
fifteen feet high.
Cross Examined by Defence.—Prisoner looked
badly, seemed disconcerted; witness did feel badly,
and so did all who were present; witness has knowi!
prisoner some twenty-five years; he, the prisoner
was always e.-teeraed a kind, humane ana neacea
ble man, and witness never heard of any difficulty
between prisoner and his neighbors, uutil after the
prisoner had gotten these women with him (mean
ing the Misses Perry and Mrs. Williams.) The bodv
of Williams was first found on Sunday morning, by
a ne<jro who was crossing the river on his way to
Trevillinn's depot; negro went on to the depot, and
on returning, went to Mrs. Chewning's, where he
has a wife, and told what he had seen, first a man's
hat, and then on looking more closely, saw the top
of his head as the wind waved his hair to and fro.
Mrs. Cbewning sent the witness on to the house of
a Mr. West, (now absent from the State.) and West
sent a boy for the witness, and they went on togeth
er to the bluff as aforesaid.
Dr. John Eaathain was sent for by the Coroner
to make an examination ol the wounds on the per
son of the dead man; saw two rery severe wounds,
one on the back of the head, and the other irame
diately across the right ear; cannot say whether
or not, these wounds were sufficient to produce
death ; also found that the dead man had been shot
on the rielit thigh, hip, arm. and also on the inside
of the lelt leg ; such blows as were inflicted on the
head of Williams likely to produce (ompresMon or
concussion. His hands were tied very tisntly behind
him. and also his anus closely confined by the rope
being drawn around them, abo ve the elbows; cannot
say whether a mar. so fettered would or would not be
killed by being thrown !rcm such a precipice; [sees
the rope with which William* was bound, and
identifies it.] The blows on the head of Williams
seeiu to hove been inflicted with a stick or stave,
with a rough orjaaged edge. Very lirtledecompo
eition had taken place on the body; Williams was
a strong, athletic man.
Cross Examined bv Defence.—The injuria
received from the shot would not hare killed Wil
liams. Prisoner had always been considered a kiud
and peaceable man, charitable to the poor, but had
lost lih standing and position in society very much
after hi' connection with the Mi-fees Perry. Wit
ness had heard some very unfavorable report*
about prisoner since his intimacy with those wo
men, whose character was very bad. Porter mar
ried a sister of Mr.«. Williams, both were Misses
Perry and sifters to the Miss Perry now in jail,
under the charge for murdering William*. Porter
lost reputation by visiting the Misses Perry before
he married one oi them. nevertheless his neizhbors
liked him aud considered him a good heart&i, kind
man.
Davis Eastham was •ent lor Monday mornin;,
Olet Mttrch, aud went to look for tracks and found
the trail similar to that described by the lontter
witnesses, goin? from near Porter's house to the ri
ver ami ret urn in;, wtue?s noticed one trwk as Items?
smaller than the other twe, and thought that was a
woman's; saw the dead man, readily recoijniied
him ; described the manner in which he was tied,
as stated by other witnesses. Never heard prison
er make any positive threat ajainst WilUanis, but
beard him say that Williams was too mean to live
and uuair to be kifle.!, the* said Williams was lurk-
Ins aUJW.ii plantation, aud that be expected that
\Viilii,i ufi \oold apply to witness {» magistrate; to
give him Khartum to arrest one of bis (prisoner's,)
negroes ; but that witness would not grant it.
Cross Examination.—Mrs. William*, a wotnan
of bad character; prisoner suffered very much from !
his connection with the Missus Perry and from keep
ing Mr*. Williams at his house, and also from his
conduct at fbe time of the burnir g the boiue of a Mr.
Val -ntine. Witness heard pri. utter say after the ,
bmruiiig, that he thought the boose irovM be burned j

a month before it was, and people thought Porter
knew all about it, and he (witneve) suspected tbn
whole party. The remark of prisoner, that Wil- .
liams was too mean to live, dM not make any im
pression on the witness # mind, that prisoner in
tended to do any violence to Williams. Wit new
had often talked to prisoner about his permitting
Mrs. Williams to stay at his house, and prisoner
»i'l he had tried to set her in at the po»r house,
but had (ailed. Witness did not think that prisoner ,
wished to get her away.
The Eastern Question.
We hare the following by the Xiagars:
At the moment when all seemed settled, and
Russia apparently disposed to terminate the crisis,
the war party in Turkey, unexpectedly obtained suV
ficient ascendency to complicate the negotiations,
causing delay, and giving Russia a new excuse for
postponing the settlement.
A hostile ieeling against France and England,
had also sprung up among the Turks, who accused
their allies of cowardice.
The present state of affairs, is that a meeting of
the grand Council was announced for the 20th, bat
on demand of the ambassadors, was held on the
ltith. The patriarch attended, and at that meeting
the note drawn up by the powers was accepted,
with the modification which follows. It was then
sent otf to the Czar, and would reach him August
31st, so that no answer could be received for soma
days.
The following is the note of the four powers
"liis Majesty, the Sultan, having nothing more at
heart, than to re-establish between his Majesty and
the Emperor of Russia, the relations of good
neighborhood and perteet harmony—entente*,
which have been unhappily disturbed by recent
and painful complications—has carefully under
taken the task to find the means to effect the traces
of those different points. A supreme irad having
made known to him, the imperial decision, the
Hub lime Porte, &.C.. congratulates itself at being
able to communicate it to the Count de Nesselrode.
If at all times the Emperors of Russia have shown
their active solicitude for the maintenance of the
immunities and privileges of the Orthodox Greek
Church hi the Ottoman "Empire, the Sultan never
relused to confirm them anew by solemn acts,
which attested their ancient and constant benevo
lence towards their christian subjects.
"His Majesty the Sultan Abdel Medjid now reigns,
animated l>y the same disposition and being de
sirous to give His Majesty, the Emperor of Russia,
personal proof of his "most sincere friendship,
owing to his undoubted confidence in the eminent
qualities o f hi' august friend and ally—has design
ed to take into serious consideration the represen
tation of which the Prince Menschikoft' rendered
himself the interpreter to the Sublime Porte. The
undersigned has consequently received the order
to peclare by the present, that the government of
His Majesty the .Sultan, will remain faithful to the
letter and spirit af the stipulations of the treaties of
Koscuike, Kainardji and of Adriancple, relative to
the protection of Christian worship, and that His
.Majesty regards it as a point of honor with him to
cause to be preserved for ever from all attacks,
either at present or in future, the enjoyment of the
spiritual privileges which have been accorded by
the august ancestors of His Majesty to the orthodox
church in the East, and which are maintained and
confirmed by hira, and moreover, to allow the
Greek worshipper' to participate, in a spirit of
high justice, in the advantages conceded to other
Christians, by convention or special agreement.—
Moreover, as the imperial lirman has recently been
given to the Great Patriarchate and clergy, and
which contains the confirmation of their spiritual
privileges, must be regarded as a new proot of those
noble sentiments; and moreover, the proclamation
of that tlrman which gives every security, must dis
pel forever anxiety as regards the worsnip, which
is the religion of His Majesty, the Emperor of Rus
sia.
'•i am happy to be charged with the duty of
making the present notification. A» regard* th»s
- that in future nothing shall be charged
at the place of visitation at Jerusalem, it result*
from the tirman provided with the hattif houmayon
on the loth of the moon of Rabbi Mikair 126tt, Feb.
1852. explain and eorroborate by the tirman.
"It is the formal intention of His Majesty tha
Sultan, to cause liis sovereign decisions to be exe
cuted without any alteration. The Sublime I'orte,
moreover, officially promises that no modification
shall be made in the state of things which has juat
been regulated, without a previous agreement
with the governments of Ilussia and France, with
out prejudice whatever to the different Christian
Communities, in case the Imperial Court ot Rus
sia should demand it, a suitable locality shall be
assigned in the City of Jerusalem, or in that vicin
ity, tor the construction of a church consecrated
for the performance of divine service by the Rus
sian Ecclesiastics, and an hospital lor indigent or
siuk pilgrims of the same nation. The Sublime
Forte engages itself, even now, to subscribe in thi*
respect—a solemn act which would place those
highest foundations under the special surveillance
ot the Consul General of Russia ia Syria and
Palestine.
'•The undersigned, <tc."
The following are the modifications insisted on
by Turkey. First—For the worship of the Ortho
dox Greek Church, the Sultans have never ceased
to watch over the maintenance of the immunities
and privileges of that worship, and ol that Cnurcb,
in the Ottoman empire, confirm them anew
by solemn acts, &c. Second—The commu
nication*. Third—Of Koekiuke and Kaenarji.
confirmed by that of Adrianople relative to the
protection by the Porte of the Christian wot ship.
Fourth—And to make known that hi* Majesty the
Sulran, &c. Fifth—The advantages accorded, and
which may be accorded to other Christian commu
nities ot Ottoman subject*. Matter* rest there uat
withstanding an assertion on the Paris Bourse, that
the .Sultan had concluded to forego the amend- _
ment*, provided. First —Tlttt the four powers would
guarantee against any new Rusrian demands.
.Second—That an order to evacuate the principals
ties be given before an Ambassador leave* Con
stantinople for St. Petersburg.
A rumor is gaining ground that if Russia evacu
ates the principalities, she would demand froni
Turkey the expenses of the occupation. Another
rumor, (more impossible,) is that Turkey Ls willing
to have the principalities formed into independent
States under protectorate of the four Powers. Tur
key continues her armaments. A decree of the
J(>th calls out 80,000 reserves. The Rusrian Con
sul-General in Kgypt is recalled, in const quence of
participating with the viceroy in aiding Turkey.
A change ol the Turkish ministry is looked for im
mediately after the settlement ol the present cri-U.
