dated Nov. 10th, says the Court, last
evening, remained in session until
nine o'clock ?. NJ, when the jury in
Cooks case rendered verdict of gull
ty on the charges of murder and in
surrection. Before the jury retired to
consider upon their verdict, Mr.. Voor'
hics delivered most powerful appeal
in favor of the prisoner, which drew
tears from the eyes of the most en-
Uttered of his auditors
This morning a motion for a new
trial for Cook, made by his counsel
was argued and finally overruled by
the Judge.
Mr.. Harding, District Attorney, re
fuses to sign molie pros. in favor o
Stephens demanding that he shall be
tried by the Virginia State Court
The Court has, however, handed th'
prisoner over to the United States Mar
shal, paying no attention to the ohjcc
tons of Mr.. Harding.
1t is rumorcd that Green, Coppicc
Copeland and Cook will all be cXccu
ted on the same day with Brown. ..

of his being Have we not, in the
loneliness of every thing around us,

lives may not mar this wonderful
grace and symmetry? There is beau

in the imperial richness Of MONDAY,
and in the stiffness of the twilight
hour. In the dense foliage of the for

and gently swayed by the light wind
of evening. Alike in the ripple Of the
moonlight waves as they break on the
white sand Of the beach, and in the
fearful voice of the stormy ocean. On
