The chief topic of remark in the North.
ern papers, is the late cruel and brutal
murder Of Mccoy. The endurance and
courage with whleh be unshfiDkIngly stood
up TO be beaten TO death, is without par
allel. The difficulty he labored under was
a lack ofsltill. He possessed anconquen-
bic endurance, that combined with proies.
slonai skill, would have made him invinci-
Bile. The jury upon the case brought ia
verdict of wiltul murder, against all con.
cerHed. We select from the New York
Aurora, the following affecting facts, that
cold-blooded and revolving light. The re.
port is made by Walsh;
On entering the house previous 10 the
arrival Of The Coroner, saw the mother
Of the dead boy walking up md down the
room Supplied with grief, uttering the most
wild, wotul and incoherent sentences. The
dreadful shock she had received in the
awful death Of her " darling boy" as she
expressed it, had thrown reason from lis
scat.
"She reverted back TO his ehildheed--
10 his tiFtues-io the tenderness with
which she reared him, and 10 his dreadful
and untilncly end, IN a manner, wild and
incoherent as il was, that would melt even
the hearts Of the unieelmg wreiches who
stood by and saw her beautiful, darling
boy butchered." i" May The curse Of God
melt the gold yc made by killing my own
hearts boy" MAY God forgive you for
| can't" "Glory be TO the LORD, Twas
his holy will TO afflict Us, 2 and hundred
other similar Explanations burst in rapid
succession from her. His sister, too, meni
on for hours venting her sorFuws u short,
pllhy sentences.
Il never read or heard such natural
strains of eloquence as ! heard from this
young woman. After talking some time,
she pulled out an old pocket book, aud took
a suspender buckle from il. She looked
at it, kissed it and then burst into flood
Of sobs, and tears that seemed to melt her
very soul. ooh Thomas, Thomas may
the curse of God rest or. and wlther the
internal villains that thought your life and
soul wasn't worth more than a hundred
dollars Never did see, ard hope /
never will again, such cold cherries mise
~ such heart.withering agony and despair.
"Ihe post-mortem examination was
conducted By DR.. Hosack, assisted by NJ.
Comb, Archer, &c. The whole head,
neck, and part Of the breast, was Of dark
Iivid color-in fact pommcled TO Jelly.
\ The nose mashed completely in, and tho
eyes entirely closed with beating. The
! left side Of the neck was first opened, and
then the whole breast and abdomen. For
want Of room / must be brief. The wind
pipe was swollen and intlamed, SO as to
cause death alone. The lungs were filled
with cloited blood, which came from the
inside Of the head through the windplpe--
this would have produced death. The
outside ofthe brain was very much lnfiam'
ed, and covered with blood-this II is be.
lieyed would have caused death IN few
DAYS. The stomach was empty, with the
exception of blood, and, in short every
thing went to show that the deceased, who
was only 20 years of age the goth Of last
June, bore more than any other man on
record ever lived under, and that he was
gradually and actually beaten and battered
to death.
