FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER, l5,ls4l.
TRIAL OF M'LEOD.

We have not yet got the verdict of the
jury, but the case may be considered as de-
cided. The government witnesses do not
make out a case for conviction indepen-
dainty of which the testimony for heprison-
er, although the fact to be proved is of a
negative character, is very strong and con-
elusive. The opening argument of the coun-
sci for the defence is able and satisfactory
and as far as the hearing of testimony has
gone, the opening statement is fully sus-
tanned. We had supposed it probable that
there would be SO much conflicting testimo,
ny that the jury would not agree. But We
do not see any room for two opinions.
The testimony had closed for the defence
and theargument was progressing on Monday
1t was understood that the case would 90 t.
the jury on Tuesday.

SECONDDAY.

The New York Sun Extra gives us the sec
ond days proceedings up to half past IL o'clock.
The witnesses examined were Daniel ]. Stew
ar. and John c. Haggariy, who were sleeping
on board the Caroline the night she was des-
troyed, James Field, inn-keeper at Sclosser, and
Henry Emmons and John Halter, who were
sleeping at Fields house when the attack was
made. ilaggarty testified that man, whose
name he did not know, was shot down on board
of the boat while standing by his side. Durfee
was shot on the wharf. Stewart testified that
no resistance was made by the persons on board
of the boat. They were all unarmed. The or
der given by the officer of the first boat that
boarded was, "Guard the gangway, and show
the damned rebels no quarter" SO far, Nc
Leod has not been mentioned by any of the wit
nesses.
Afcrnoon.-We are indebted to the ALBANY
Evening Journal for report of the afternoons
proceedings. Gilman Appehy, Samuel Drown
and Isaac p. Corson were the only witnesses
examined.
Mr.. Applebv commanded the Caroline at the
time she was destroyed. lie gave an account
of the matter similar to that given by other wit,
nesses, and testified that while swimming in the
river, endeayorng TO make his escape to tho
shore, he was struck at with sword by mar
whom he supposed to be MIeod, having beer
introduced to him few days before at the Ea
gle Tavern in Blhio.
Samuel Drown resided in Chippewa, Uppe
Canada, at the time of the destruction of tn,
Caroline, and tended bar for a Mr.. Smith. liz

not be mistaken in his person. lie saw hin

ale represents his struggle with the mid
night rulians before they got him into
Wagon, as very severe, during which he was
badly bruised, and received bayonet wound
in the hip. When his captors had got him
into a wagon, he was laid on the bottom,
without any clothes on, couple Of bayone,s

with a musket pointed at his head, was taken
to Clareneevelle. Here pair old panta-
looms and a shirt was put on, and thence no
was taken TO Mssiskoui Bay. On the way
lhilhcr he was very roughly handled, and
tormented every way imaginable. When
he arrived at the Bay, handouts, fastened
with lock, were put on, (Which being too
small caused much acute pain,) and he was
then put into the guard house. Soon after
was taken out and arraigned before some Of

The only question asked him, was his name.
He was taken back to the guard house, and
thence to ST. Johns. On his way thlher no
got some clothes sent him by his friends on
this side the lines-also little money, with
which he tried to buy something to cat but
his keepers would furnish him nothing, even
when offered pay for it, nor did he get any
thing that day or the day after, except part
of a fellow prisoners allowance on the first
night after being lodged in prison. At ST.
Johns he was lodged in stall, as he ina

DEATH OF DANIEL c. PAYNE.-Tbis

The Express says,
"Paync, it is well known, was a very
Incorporate man, and since the death of Miss
Rogers he had become even more so than
usual, having been rarely seen since tina,
time in perfectly sober state.
He had not been at his lodgings since
Thursday last, and no trace of him had been
discovered until yesterday evening abou, S
O'Clock, when he was seen by man who
was going fishing, sitting on bench in tho
woods at Hoboken, close to the SPOT wbers

was dying. He was Immediately conveyed
TO house close by, but before they reached
it he was dead
Several papers were found upon his per-
son, but none, SO far as we can learn. will
be likely to thIow any light on the mystery
OF the murder. They were principally me-
morandums-he had written down The date
OF every examination he under went before
the Mayor, and probably the last he ever
wrote was in pencil on the back one of tho
papers, to the following effect:
II am on the very spot-God forgive me
for my misspent time"
The general impression is, that tho un-
fortunate man has fallen victim TO hi. in.
temperate habits, and his death was caused
by delirium trcmens, and such will probably
be the verdict Of the jury.

&oWe occupy . very large space in our columns to-day with the legislative proceedings Though there appears not to be much of great importance to be done, understand the probability is that the Legs Iature will not adjourn until next week-thus sitting into the SiztA weeka longer session than any since Jacksonsm had tho control of that body. The an. pointnents Of Probate Judges and Justices of Peace have now mostly been made. We learn that no changes. or very few, have been made in this countv A Justice occasionally goes out, and another is ap. pointed to ll the vacancy. Atak of again changing the County Court system will probably consume number of days.
 Congress of course met on Monday. The Nat. lntegencer of Saturday stated that over one half of the members were then on the ground, and others were hourly arriving. All the Connecticut delepa- hon were on hand. Should there be no difficulty in electing Speaker on Monday the Message of Pre- sident Tyler will be delivered on Tuesday at noon, and barring accidents, reach New-York that night. We shall probably receive a copy this morning. Letter writers conjecture that it will not be very long. Let him be brief in his messages, and we will guarantee to him the support of the country printers It would be one of the best reforms which could be adopted.
 N. B.-Papers by the last mail state ,ha, the whig members of Congress had a meeting OH Saturday evening last, and agreed support for Speaker Mr. White of Kentucky, and for Clerk Mr. F. O. J. Smith, of Maine.
 Post 0Gcs Appoinsns"ts.-We perceive by late New-Haven papers, that renovation has commenc. ed in that county. We trust it will go on till there shall be at least an equality of whigs with the loco focos; and to do this, probably EIGHT THOUSAND chan ges will have to be made in the United States Du- ring the proscriptve and intoerant reigns of Jack son and Van Buren, an almost entire sweep of the offices was made. Not whig was left, except where no loco foco could be found to take the place. Take, for example, Litchfeld county and where is there whig postmaster left? A list of the towns with the number of Post Offices, will show-and by it will be that the ocos have possession of 45 offices. and the whigs of6-so far as we know and in three of these latter cases the offices have been either changed established since the present ad ministraton came into power.
