United States Court.

The jury in the case of the government,
against four of the crew of the packet ship
New York, after being out over eighteen hours,
came into Court at half past nine o'clock on
Saturday morning, with verdict against the
prisoners, of guilty on the first four counts Of
the indictment, charging them with assault and
battery, and also on the fifth count assault and
battery with intent to kill, but recommended
them to the mercy of the Court. Upon the
other two indictments against John Devlin and
William Rogers, the first charged with an as
sault with saucepan, the prisoners by their
counsel, pleaded non cult contendre to the as
sault, and the District Attorney entered nolle
prosequi on the other counts.
The Court then proceeded to pass sentence
upon the prisoners. John Devlin was sentenc-
ed to three years at hard labor in the State
Prison; William Rogers, James Thompson and
William Black, each two years at hard labor
in the State Prison Devlin and Blake each
received the nominal additional sentence of one
day, upon the separate indictments found
against them. There being no other business
before the Court, the jurors were discharged
and the Court adjourned for the term

The LIVING WAY; or Suggestions and Counsels
concerning some of the Privileges and Du-
ties of the Christian Life, by Rev. John At
kiason Carlton & Porter, 200 Mulberry
ST., New York.
We have been presented with copy of this
neat little volume, and have perused it with
great satisfaction. The author (Rev. Mr.. AT
KINsoN) is well known to many of our readers,
having formerly been Pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in our village. The SIM
plicity of style and forcible manner in which
the author presents the gospel truths, cannot
fail to do good, and must meet the hearty ap-
probation of the Christian public. We take
pleasure in recommending this little volume to
their patronage, and hope it will be extensively
circulated in this county. In it, the author
shows talent for writing which, if properly
encouraged, may be the means of his doing
much good hereafter This book would be
an appropriate present for Christian to pre-.
sent to his young friend. It can be had al
Coopers Book Store.

The st. Louis Democrat, publishes state
ment relative to the affairs of Kansas, giyer
by Gov. Geary, which tends to throw some
light upon the causes of his reported resgna-
ton. The chief reason assigned is the failure
OF President Pierce to give him the sufficient
support promised at the time of his acceptance
of the Office, and the thwarting of his meas
ures by the judiciary Of the territory in every
possible manner. The Governor states that
he has necessarily expended twelve thousand
dollars of his private means to support his at-
ministration, military support promised
him by President Pierce having been withheld
He also says that fifty men were under oath
from the time he entered the country, to assas-
snate him, if his official conduct did not meet
their appreciation; that the mail bags were
constantly opened, his correspondence mutila-
ted, and portions of it that were deemed often
slve, extracted. Of the outrages of proslavery
men, the Governor asserts the one-half has not
been told Finally, he thinks the establish
ment of slavery constitution inevitable.
These statements of the Gcverner fully sus-
tain the allegations of the free State men as to
the general condition of affairs in the territory.
and the character Of the men who have as
sumed the virtual control of the government

himself, is an instance of the manner in which
any man in authority, is sure to be treated by
them, if he does not come up to the full mea-
sure OF subservience to their demands. In the
early part of his official career he yielded to

shielding from deserved punishment the muir.

to foist Whitfield into Congress by virtue o

Another act of the drama has passed AM
the country now anxiously awaits the next ris
of the curtain, and the further development O
the plot that involves nations destiny.
Should the Federal government continue it
patronising support of slavery, by the recogni

territory, and appoint man as successor t,
Geary, who shall undertake to enforce tina
