By Mr.. Pitts Did not see the negroes strike
at any whites, but Bangs and Flaherty; when
the whites collected the negroes retreated; did
not see Burns until the negro Woodling was
killed.
Passmore Mccullough, sworn. Has known
the prisoner six or eight years; he worked for
him some two years on the Annapolis Rail
Road; his character was good he was a bet
ter man than any who worked for him; never
saw him disguised with liquor in his life.
BY permission of the counsel for the State,
Mr.. Stewart read letter from James lyle
hart, Esq, President of the Annapolis Rail
Road Company, giving Burns first rate char
acter.
Patrick McKenna, sworn. Has known
Burns five or six years; his general character
was the best; he was honest, steady, upright,
and very orderly man.
The defence here closed their evidence, and
Mr.. Pitts opened the case on the part of the
State. lie stated that the only inquiry before
the jury was the grade of his crime, as there
could be no doubt from the evidence, as to his
having thrown the wood horse, which caused
Weddings death. He would not ask con-
vlcton for murder in the first degree, but it
was for the jury to say whether he was guilty
| of murder III the second degree, or manslaugh-
ter.
Mr.. Williams addressed the jury on the part
of the defence. He contended that under no
circumstances could the prisoner be found
guilty of murder, in either the first or second
degree, as no malice aforethought was discov-
cred in any of the evidence. If convicted at
all it must be Of manslaughter, but he believed
the testimony proved nothing more than acci-
dental homicide. He read from the books Sc
veral cases similar in the bearing of the proof
as this, IN which the parties had been acquitted.
He further argued that under the circumstan-
ces, the attack of the blacks upon the white
men, the death of WoodIing was done in
iustifiable interference. This address through
out was characterized by much true eloquence
and deep research, and was listened to with
great attention by the Court, bar and auditory.
1t was Mr.. Williams first effort in the City
Court, and was highly creditable to him
When MIR. Williams concluded, Mr.. Stewart
followed OH the part of the defence. He spoke
but short time, and addressed the jury with
his we'll known ability, and force of argument.
Mr. Pitts closed the case. He completely
upset the theories advanced by the defence, and
i'll short address fully reviewed the evidence, in
mastery manner, when the case was submit
ted TO the jury, who retired in charge of a bal
lift. The jury after being absent about twenty
minutes, returned into Court, and rendered a
verdict of "ManSLaoghter," at the same time
recommending him TO the mercy of the Court
Immediately on the rendition of the verdict
the jury also handed to the counsel for the de-
fence, petition signed by them, asking par
don from the Governor, which will be trans
mitted to his Excelency by the Attorney 70

LIS. COCHRAN AND LUTHER. Lieut.. R. E..
Cochran, who was killed in the battle near
Matamoras, was a son of DR.. Cochran, of Co.
lumbia, Pa, and the young brother of the pro-
prietors and editors of the York Republican,
That paper says:
"He entered the service of his country in
lS3S-more than seven years he has been la
boriously engaged in that service, and at last
has fallen in her cause, before he had attained
twenty-eight years ofage. A father and mo-
ther-three brothers and sister-a widow and
an orphan daughter, who when she parted with
her father had scarcely learned to lisp his name,
survive to weep over his early and untimely
doom. Their sorrows are not, however, for
the public eye; he died in the discharge of his
duty, and they must submit to the decree of an
overriding Providence"
1t. Roland A. Luther, slightly wounded in
the same battle, was a native of Lancaster
county, Pa.

A MISTAKE. A correspondent of New
York paper says it is mistake to suppose that
the 18th article Of the treaty with Spain in re-
gard to privateering is now in force. He has
list of twenty-five U, States vessels that have
taken out commissions as prvateers under
South American States, and have captured
millions of Spanish property, without having
u single Spaniard on board.

Foor fellow, he has met with the death of a gal
liant soldier. The men composing the detach-
ment are the toughest looking customers you
ever beheld. No man belonging to the army
shaves-their boards cover their faces, and
hang down on their breasts, Drowned by the
sun, and their clothes saturated with blood and
dirt-they are brave set however. Old Gen.
Taylor looks just for all the world like an old
western farmer;-but when you mark the
glance he throws around, noticing all things
within his view, yon preceive the General and
soldier at once.

that the sustenance of my army is under good
protection. You will have work to do yet

There IS in the lone sea.

There is in the lone sea,
A spot unmarked and holy,
Dr there the gallant and the free
In his ocean bed lies lowly;
own, down, beneath the deep;
That Oft in triumph bore him
e sleeps a calm and peaceful sleep,
With the salt waves dashing DER him."
Sleep on thou mighty dead,
A glorious tomb they've found thee,
The broad blue sky above thee spread,
The bsuRdless ocean round thee;
o vulgar foot treads here,
No hand profane shall move thee,
lut gallant hearts shall proudly steer
And warriors shout above thee,
nd tho no stone may tell,
Thy name, thy North, thy glory,
Ihey rest in hearts that love thee well,
And grace thy country's story. KENNY.
