Promptly at 10 o'clock bis Honor Judge Mitchell took his seat to continue the habeas cenms ease of J. IX Elliott.. A frw of the witnesses examined on Thursday last were examined ugsin to-day, and I am ?ble to correct some trivial errors that occurred in mv lormcr communication. The young man Culnrctb is not a regular boarder at the St. Charles, but he ho* re ccntlv come to States v?K and sometimes rc putors ?uk1 ocit^ t lie Ci)nrfe?r Or J. *T. Mott did hear II. C.Kl'iott order Ned to leave bis house twice, but did not hear Neal say he would not go. H.V.Elliott testified that Neal behaved badly at the dinner-table on the day of the homicide ; that he used profane and unbe coming language. T . James Kouehe, engineer on the A., i . ? o. u.

Saw prisoner Ica\e the office aud go into the passage leidmg to the dining-room. W ituess also went into the pas-age. Heard prisoner say to his prtoncrV) fatter that if he did not put de ceased out of the office be would kill him. II C Elliott immediately walked into tin office*, followed by prisoner. In a very *>hort timp h<<ird the report of the pistol. Warwick Rcid (colored) testified that he came from Richmond, Va? to this place last \u,ru*t ; that he was engaged for some time In uie tobaeco business and aUerwards w^s pmnloved as a waiter m the St. Chants, that he was present waiting on the dinner table on the day of the homicide. Did not hear deceased use any profane, vulgar, or SoiKT language. That three (lays before deceased started to Virginia he >aw him have a dirk-knife in a sheath. Witness put the kuife in deceased's trunk. After tbe hom icide he opened the trunk and louud tbe kuife just as be had placed It. Before wit ness left Richmond deceased's father bad re quested the witness to look alter bis sou. l W Bi?,<rs was present at dinner on the dav'of the homicide. L>id not hear deceased u<e improper language. Witness left the table betore deceased did. ltness described an altercation between deceased and nn?tber young man some two mouths ago, in which J ^ v ml* w Uu esses w ere introduced to prove I that no arms were found on tbe corpse of deceased^ tesUfied thllt he r00mcd with deceased in the month of January,and had on one or two occasions^ seen deteascd wearing a bowic-kuife on his person, had frequently seen the same knite l}ing on the niantcl-piepe when he got up in tbe morning. Several witnes-es were introduced to Drove the character both of prisoner and de ceased All agreed that the character of de ceased. <-o lar as he hud formed one here, was "?ood. ? There was some conflict of testimony in regard to tbe character of the prisoner. Two witnesses thought he bad injured his character by a former transaction, the others thought his character was good. \fter tbe evidence hud been ^ cry fully commented on by counsel, Judge Mitchell decided to reverse bis former opinion, and ordered the prisoner to jail to await his trial at the June tern, of the Superior Court. The State Solicitor, Mr. N\ . P. Coldwcli, could not be "present at the trial, riieloriuer couuscl for the State were ably assisted to day by Mr. J. M.

Coristiansburo, Va., February 26', 1874. This has beeu court-week with us, and therefore notable in our calendar. True; iu decd, county court has ceased to be what it was in point of dignity and importance ; but the people cannot easily get over the habit of "going to town" on court-day once a month. Tbe weather this time was so bad that the turn-out was not as large as usual. It was arrand-jury term, and a large number of indie ments were made? twenty-three, 1 believe, in all. The negroes figure princi pally in the list, as usual, for all sorts of offences from tbrowingstones up to shooting with intent to kill. Gus. Goff, the nejaxo who recently shot Dr. J. P. Hammet, "of this place, in an altercation which took place be tween them, was indicted. Dr. Hammet's wound proved a slight oue, and he Is now out and well. As an item which will helpout the Dispatch in its argument for a return to a CONSTITUTIONAL C0T7NTV-C0URT system, 1 learn that tbe list of criminal cases for the next circuit court here is sufficient to occupy aM the time of the court, to the ex clusion of all" other business. It is the general testimony of FARMERS from all pirts of the county that wheat never looked better here. The winter has been a remarkably mild one and very favora ble to its growth. The season has been fine r.l>o for wiuter ploughing, and a great deal has been done in preparation for oats and corn. At present the whole face of the country is covered with snow. Yesterday and the day before we had the heaviest snow full of the season, accompanied by some sleet. As tbe ground is warm and not in condition to hold it long, we have the pro mise of a Oeligbtlul slush for some days. Business is still very dull and monev scarce, but as an evidence of both money and enterprise we note the establishment in our town of a large tannery by a couipan}* of our own citizens.

Isaacs, JK?q. fFrora the Wheeling Krister, 2Gih J The ceremonies connected with the forma tion of a Grand Coram indery of Knights Templar for West Virginia were had yester day in this city, and attracted almost uni versal attention. Notwithstanding the con tinuous snow-storm, the streets were thronged with citizens to see the parade of Knights and to hear tbe splendid music dis coursed by three brass bands that accompa nied tbe procession. A special conclave of the Grand Encamp ment of the Unitrd States was held, Sir James H. Hopkins presiding, arid tbe Grand Com mandery of West Virginia was regularly coustituted and proclaimed. Tbe following named Knights, who had been previously elected at a convention composed of the qualified representatives of the several subor dinate Commanderies in the State, were then feeverally installed: Sir O. S. Long, grand commander; Sir R. G. Lyle, grand gene ralissimo; Sir (i. W. Pat ton, grand captain general; Sir Th >mas II.

Nye, grand standard-bearer; Sir Henry Iieed, grand sword-bearer; Sir George Da vis, grand warder; Sir Hugh Sterling, grand captain of the guard. After tbe transaction of the necessary busi ness for setting the new Grand Commandery in motion, that body was cioicd, appointing i's next meeting in "the city of Wheeling on tbe Friday succeeding the second Tuesday iu November, 1874. the banquet. Al 7 o'clock tbe Sir Knights with a num ber of their invited lady-lriends assembled at the MeLure House, and shortly afterwards sat down to an elegant suppe'r. A great many speeches were made in response to toasts, and the following letters were read wnen the toast to the Grand Commandery of j Virginia was drunk: Richmond, February 15, 1874. To F. C.
