Eustace BURDETT THE TRIAL OF ROSE Clintwood, VA., Aug. 19 - County Court commenced its session here last week. It was thought that the case of the Commonwealth against William J. ROSE for killing his brother, Frank, last spring would be heard at this term, but while it is only passed for the present, it is quiet certain that it will be continued on account of the sickness of a witness. The general understanding that a trail of the case would be had at this term brought out the largest crowd that ever attended court at this place. ROSE was brought into Court when the case was called, and then there was a wild rush for the court-room, everybody being anxious for a sight of the fratricide. He walked into the bar beside the sheriff and took a seat near his attorneys. His wife and mother sat near him. He seemed in the best of spirits and talked familiarly with those around him. He told your correspondent, though, that his confinement in jail was telling on him, but he hoped to be soon be free again. ROSE is a man of about 27 or 28 years of age, of medium height and weight, and has a peculiar countenance. He has unusually heavy eyebrows, which shade his eyes to such an extend that the expression of them is almost lost to the casual observer. Miss Carrie. M.
