Miss WEBsTER.-The Louisville Journal con- tans what appears to be full summary of the testi- inony taken npon the trial of Miss Della Webster, for negro stealing, Lexington, Ky. Difficult as it is to to harsh conclusion in in which a delicate and educated female concerned. and as much we had hoped to this young woman ex- onerate herself from the Dorst part of the charges against her, it is impossible to pursue the evidence in the without coming at once to the conclusion that the jury could have found other verdict than that of guilty. If the witnesses truly, there is nothing before us to raise suspicion that they did not, Miss Webster not only undoubtedly guilty of the crime charged in the indictment, but of the grosaest improprietIes of different character. It appears by the testimony that she joined Fairbanks in stealing and carrying of tbe slaves, by previous concert-that she went off with him in carr Iage hIred for that purpose-ihat she spent long time with him night and day, and portion of it in so equivocal position to lead the landlord ofa house where they stopped 10 suppose hatthey were couple of runaway lovers, which they neither denied nor ad mtted upon being rallied to that effect. No evidence of any consequence was adduced by the prisoner 's counsel, and the jury, after hearing able arguments on both sides. retired at night, and next morning brought in verdict of guilty. Miss w. had moved to be separated from Fairbanks the trial. and the motion granted by the court; so that Fairbanks will be tried at the next term; his counsel having moved for a continuance the ground that he had material witnesses absent in this city. There can he very Ittle doubt the result of that trial.TN Y. Courier and Enquirer.
