PAY THE SobDIERs.-It is hoped that the
Legislature will at once make an appropria.
ton to pay the volunteers who SO promptly
obeyed the call of the Governor, and repair
ed to Harper's Ferry to defend the soil of
Virginia from invasion. Many of the men
who went from Norfolk and Portsmouth are
entirely dependent upon their labor for the
support of themselve and family, and can i'll
afford to give the State two weeks labor
1t is enough that they were ready and will
ling to isk their lives, without impoverish-
ing, and perhaps causing to suffer their wives
and children. We have no doubt that the
Legislature intends to pay the soldiers, but
to make that pay valuable let the appropri-
alton be made at once, so as to be available
to them when they most need it.
The MEETING OF THE CITIzENs.-We are
happy to see that the people are about to
follow the suggestions of the Day Book and
take some measures for the relief of the
poorer classes.
We callthe attention of all to the call Of
His Honor, Mayor Ferguson, to be found
elsewhere.

ACCIDENTAL youth, 8 years old, named Al.
bert, the son of Mr.. Nathan Baum, OF this city,
met with the misfortune on Saturday evening
to break his leg. 1t appears from what we can
learn, that he was riding in his fathers wagon
and the AK letree breaking caused him to fall
over to the ground, the wheels of the wagon
passing over his leg, Just below the knee break
ing the bone. He was carried into the drug
store of Messrs. Burrow & Co., whore Drs.
Moore Il Baker were soon in attendance and
rendered the necessary medical assistance We
learn this morning that the little sufferer is
doing as we'll as could be expected undei the
circum stances.

Our objsct ID simply TO put our readers on their
guard, against the persistent and systematic
efforts which are now being made, to prejudice
the public mind and forestalI the verdict of the
Law, and to enter our protest against the false
and mistaken sentiment of honor, by which a
great public crime is sought t. be justified
For-lct our readers be careful to remember
that no matter what the prOyocation may have
been, in the eye of the law, the wilful and pre-
meditated killing Of man. cannot be less than
murder, and murder in the first and highest
degree. In the next place, we will venture to
remind them, that whatever Mr.. Keys faults
OF character may have been, and it is not our
business to extenuate them, in the Judgment
of those who knew him best, he was a man
wholly incapable of plotting or accomplishing
the ruin of any woman. Mrs Sickles' para
mour. it is possible he may have been-but
her seducer, never. Not only does Mr. Keys
character forbid the possibility of any such sup
position, but the character of Mrs. Sickles is
said strongly to favor the truth of the opposite
conclusion. Her reputation is said to have been
less than doubtful, by New York Journal.
whose statements upon that point we copied
yesterday, ii is very plainly intimated that her
real seducer was her husband, and that her
marriage came barely in time to cover but not
conceal her shame. The very nature and cx-
tent Of that criminal intimacy with Mr.. Key.
which Is relied upon by Mr.. Siekles in justifica-
tiOn OF his crime, argues a woman wholly lost
TO shame and to every sense of virtue. In one
word-hers Is n case, according to her own
showinS-nOt OF seduction-but of prostitution.
