from the adjourned jnry of the March
Term Of the court, aud who did not i'm
media,ely yield on the retirement of the
jury with others To verdict of acquittal
now snys, that had the letters which
wero handed to the jury been submitted
ns having been traced from the hands Of
Mr.. Avery to the deceased, he should
have had no hesitation Of signing ver-
dict of "guiliy !" Now, these letters
were so submitted-nnd the jury were
TO infer from the fact oftleir having been
traced from the hands of lhs Rev. L. X.
Avery directly to s. nj. Cornell-how
far Avery in connection with all other
circumstances, was implicated in The
contents of those letiers.-But this juror
asserts that these le,tors came before the
jury as being unconnected with any fact
or circumstances having bearing against
Mr.. Avery!! and that they were to re-
gard these letters as being isolated from
all other facts of the case And we al
so understand that THAT juror who could
not discover himself in our last weeks
mirror denies that the letters came be-
fore them in any other shape! Now not
wiihstanding all these facts we have dis
closed, this jury declare their belief to be
that E. X. Avery is the as,assinator of
S. M. Cornell -!
We are now done with the jury-un-
less we shall come in possession of more,
facts, which of course we shall publish
In taking leave ofthis part Of our subject,
we would observe, that in this exposure,
we have performed very unpleasant
duty. If we have trengthenedour friends
so on the other hand, we have gotten.

performance ofthis duty-justlce requir-
ed it--though we believe there are but
few who would have had the moral cour-
age to have taken upon themselves the
weighty responsibility involved in ihis
disclosure. Threats of personal violence
have been uttered against us-but we have
done our duty at the risk of consequent
ces. Every charge we have preferred on
direct affirmation, we are prepared to
prove. Particular individuals have pro-
nounced some Of our statements of last
week, false! We should then be called
to account for them. False statements
in SO delicate matter as this should not
be suffered to pass with impunity We
believe our agents highly worthy and re-
spectable-and responsible for the facts
they have gwen us. But if it should be
discovered that any villain has imposed
anything upon us for fact, which shall be
proved TO be gratuitous calumny, TO
CRAFTY his Gwn damned feelings of re-
