 DEAR SIR-The trial of Robert F. sterilag, for the murder of Gen. Fegaf- aad sioggan, closed on fhe 7tll inst. at- ter protracted trial of more than two weeks. Tine accused was defended by t. 9lan, Esq., Gen. Rl3,teg, aud |. Ci7tteaden, Esq, of Little Rock. As d citizen Of Arkansas, feel much pride m being able to state, that the latter gentlemans although associated with counsel much celebrated for their elo- qeence and great lega! learning, fully sustained the high opinion which had been formedoi his talents u legal attain meats, and made ali able and eIoqaent defence. His argument on the law and evidence to which he confined himself entirely, was able ard ingenious, and his appeal to the feelings of the jury, was fofcible and pathetic. The prose cntlon was conducted be F. c. Scot. l1sq., Prosecuting Attorney for the District, assisted by Hon. II. f. Bal- lafd, late Judge, and now Member of Congress elect from this District. The cause was opened by Mir. Scott, in an able and frank exposition of the law and application of the testimony. and was closed by Judge Bullard, who. on this occasion, fully maintained his heretofore very high standing as a law ter and advocate, and whose legal opjn- ions, as faras ] was capable of iud dging, were fully sustained and reiterated from the bench, in the charge given at the close of the argument. The Hon. J. 4. O7ertesa, who presided, delivered q lucid and strong charge to the jury. Not being lawyer, ] am only able 10 give you an imperfect and hasty outline of this trial. The jury returned in q few hours with a verdict of NOT Gurs.rY.

 Through the kindness of one of the gentlemen employed as counsel in this case, an epitome of the evidence, and all the leading facts of the case, were furnished to iIie;, but, but beiiig informed that astatement of the trial will be pub lished in detail, 1 shall not intrude any longer upon the eolums of your valua- ble paper upon this subject.
