SAMUEL TCRNER-As Friday, the Goth of
August, (the day fixed by the Court for the
execution of this individual is drawing near,
great efforts are being made TO obtain a respite
or pardon for him from the Governor. Among
other expedients resorted to is a statement that
Jane Norris admitted in the presence of Sheriff
Cannon that she met Robinson, on the corner
of the street, on the night which the outrage is
alleged TO have been committed on her, and on
being asked TO take a ride with him in the car.
riage, she willingly did so, and freely complied
with his wishes. Turner and Robinson quar-
relied, when the latter left the carriage, which
made her mad; she could not get into the house
where she lived, when they returned to New
Castle, and was forced to stay with friend the
remainder OF the night she did not know what
excuse to make. and consequently she made
the declaration which led to their arrest and
conviction. She did not know the punishment
was death for the offence charged, nd she now
repents of what she has done aud begs that they
may be pardoned.
If Jane Norris ever made these admissions
she was influenced to do so by the threats or
persuasons of persons interested in the fate Of
the prisoners. The circumstances connected
with the affair, prove the commission of gross
outrage. The circumstances, taken altogether
prove the outrage charged, and her ignorance,
and the relation she bore TO Robinson, should
increase rather than exlenuate its enormi-
ty. We are not particularly anxious that
these parties should expiatc their offence on The
gallows, but we do protest against these efforts
to abuse the ignorant and susceptible girl who
was the victim of their diaboical pans.-Re-

The Naval Steam Ram.

MucR as has been achieved, the march n
military science is still onward. Not satisfied
with the substitution of one steamer for mum.
Der OF sailing vessels, strenuous efforts are ma.
king by the French and English, to concentrate
the power of many steamers in one. They are
constructing, what they call " steam. rams, ~
which are steamers of colassal dimensions and
eaormous strength and weight, the sides GOV.

upon the enemy's vessels, crushing and sinking
them by Wholesale in twlnkllng of the eve,

siding not IN artillery but in their weight and

Wnlle an aSltated or turbulent sea would in.

ces of the steam ram. The condition of the
efficiency of the one is order the element of
the other rregularty and confusion. The steam
ram decides the contest, In every instance, by

not excepting the Great Western. Her dimen.

The cost of the vessel is estimated at 81 800.

half of what may be fairly anticipated she
would be ches per than half a dozen sail of the |
line. Her total weight at sea will be 5000 |
tons, and her velocity l6 miles an hour. Six |
teen miles an hour is somewhat more than % |
feet per second, which multiplied with 5000, |
gives a momentum of over POO, 900 tons. The |
concussion must be terrific. But it strikes us |
that if The steam-ram be strong enough 10 with
stand the shock, it might possibly prove too
much for its crew, unless they are packed up in
wool. However this may be, the idea is grand,
and worth the practical trial to wh CHI the
French and English are about to subject it,

that the Democratic party, both North and South is

purely personal grounds, and what isstill worse sec

much to be regretted. The only alternative which
