Hon. JOHN M. SAND1DGE.--The following
taken from the Vicksburg Soutbron ofthe 29th
ult., is confrmatory ola painful rumor from the
same paper of an earlier date, pub lished by US
yesterday. We sincerely trust the rumor may
prove wholly unfounded, and that Mr.. S. has
escaped the doom that befel too many of the
passengers on the ill.fated Rainbow:
We learned last evening that the Hon. John
NJ. Sandidge, of Louisiana, certainly embarked
on board the ill-fated Rainbow, from this eity,
in company with his wife, two children and two
servants, and unless he got off at Napoleon, of
which we are glad to learn their is a probability.
he is certainly among the lost. We saw him
just before the Minnebaha landed, but he de.
cllned going on her, and determined to wait for
the Rainbow, and from the porter who had
charge of the baggage we learned that he went
on her. He informed us that he purposed stop.
ping at Memphis, but from other friends we
learn that it is just possible that he got off at
Napoleon to pay a visit to some relatives in that
vicinity. We sincerely hope that he did so.
Thomas Green Davidson, in a telegraphic
dispatch, denies that Mr., sandidge perished on
the Rainbow.

PLEADING GULTY.-Stovall, the man who
killed his paramour a few days since in New
Orleans by cutting her throat with a razor,
when brought up for trial and the usual guess
ton was asked was he "guilty or not guilty"
answered guilty" The Judge said that was
very extraordinary, and that he would order
the clerk not to record The plea. He wonld
give the prisoner further time to consider, and
as he had no counsel, Christian RoseIius was
appointed to defend him. He was then remains
ded to prison; was again brought before the
Judge in a couple Of days, when the question
was again put to him, and again, contrary to
the advice and influence of Mr.. Roseiius. he
plead @guilty !" The Judge then told him he
should have the necessary time to arrange his
earthly affairs and prepare for eternity, which
he FIRST asked for, before sentencing him 10
death when he was led away. Stoyall is an
elderly man and was a negro trader. He had
been a preacher in his younger days, but he
took to drink, and when in liquor he was al
ways guilty Of some bad net Or other he had
in that state done many acts which made him
amenabIe to the laws, till this last dread one
for which last "spree' be pays the forfeit Of
his life.

five years old, is living, and is now with its

NOVEL. EcoNomrcAL,-Tbe Baltimore

NOVEL BUT EcoNoM1oAL.-The Baltimore
American proposes newspapers as a warm and
comfortable bed covering. 1t is said, indeed,
they supply a surprising degree of warmth cons
sidering the lightness of the material. The
papers can be spread loosely, overlapping each
other, or they may be pasted together at the
edges, or stitched between a pair of sheets. 1t
is asserted that they really make a light, warm
and agreeable bed covering, and do away with
the necessity of piles of bedclothes in freezing
weather. If this is so, it will be a discovery
useful to others besides the poor, to whom, at
the present time, its truth should make it in-
valuable. At any rate the experiment can be
easily tried. We presume that paper not priu-
ted on could be used, as we hardly think the
somnoIent qualities of the new covering can be
fairly attributed to the fact Of their being made
of newspapers only.

sixth DISTRICT CoURr.-State Us. Lafayette
CGldWeH.-Fhis important case was submitted
to the jury last night friday at about 9
o'clock, which has created a painful interest in
the public mind as to the result of tbeir verdict.
The trial occupied two DAYS of the Court in
almost constant session. The il dictment was
for murder, consisting of the killing of John
Toy by the accused during the affray with Mr.
Chinn at the Harvey Honse bar-room. Mr..
Caldwell was powerfully defended by Maj
Heron, A. NJ. Dunn, and ]. w. Seymour, E~qs.
the former surprising in his grand and pathetic
appeal to the jury ANYTHING We ever heard on
such an occasion. There was not a fearless
eye in the crowded room when he closed his
powerful defense and peroralion. The proSeS
cution was conducted with mastery tact and
ability by the District Attorney and j. M. Chil-
ton, Esq, of New Orleans.
The jury could not agree on a verdict. We
understand that ten were for acquitting, one
for convicting for m~anslaughter, and the other
for murder. Court adjourned till Monday
