the part of Governor Wise to get rid of the
odum of trying and hanging man suffering
under dangerous, if not mortal wounds, is a
point open to question Considering how
doubtful it is whether Stephens docs not

meets, if thcro had been any real desire to
have trial in that Court, some other pris-
oncr would, most likely, have been selected
for that purpose. We doubt if there is a

important discoveries to bo used on his trial.
a good deal was expected of Cooks confess
ion. That expectation failing to ho realized,
Cook is accused of Keeping back his story.
There seems however, no reason to expect
any important information from him. We
are inclined to think that his confession tells
all ho knew, and that in fact, there is
nothing to tell beyond what has already
been disclosed. Should Stephens dio, as is
very probable, before his trial comes on, il
will then be easy to make great boasts OF
what might have been proved, but for that
unfortunate accident.

The Election in this State.

We commend the returns OF the late cleo.
tion to tho special attention of Gov. Wise,
Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet officers, tho Fifth
Avonue Democrats, and that special section
of Southern chivalry 80 admirably represent
od by the frothy feculonco of tho Richmond
Enquirer. They may one aud all read in 1t
the results of their joint attempt to conquer
a peace by bullying tho North. By an or
ganizcd conspiracy, far moro extended, and
quite as unprinciplod as that which broke
out at Harper's Ferry, they have boon labor
ing day and night to make political capital
out of that affair. Not only tho lives OF the
prisoners in their hands, but tho deaths of
their own citizOns, havo been romorselessy
used by the Virginia leaders as so much
capital towards a Democratic victory in
New York. Not satisfied with tho utter
defeat of the invasion, tho death of nearly
all those engaged in it, the conviction and
impending doom of tho remainder, the uni
yersal denunciation of tho crime aud the
criminals throughout tho Free States. and

proof to implicate prominent mon, or any
considerable number of men of any Sort in

Why this Difference /?

When rakish youth goes astray, friends
gather around him in order to restore him
to the path of virtue. Gontlencss and
kindness are lavisbed upon him to bring
him to innocence and peace. No one would
ever suspect that he had sinnod. But whom
a poor confiding girl is betrayed, she re-
ceycs tho brand of society, and henceforth
is driven from the ways of virtue.
So says one of our exchanges, and it is
indeed too true There is no good reason
why tho "raksh youth" should not bo treat.
cd with as great dsfavor as the poor, con.
fiding girl whom he has betrayed and, if
we could havo our way, he should be. Men,
who claim nearly all tho intellect in the
world, and delight to bo called "the lords of
creation" ought to bo ashamed to ask
greater exemption from tho consequences
of folly and vico, than is allowed to women
Is not their moral responsibility the same
Tho faults of young women, griovous
though they may be, are sometimes but the
result of noble impulses and womanly vir-
tues msdrccted and perverted, while those
of young men are as often little better than
tho worst kind of villany. Tho former
unwisoly ropose confidence in unworthy
objects, and tho latter create confidence
only TO abuse and botray it. 1t is not right
that one should suffer, alono and unpitied
for wrong of winch another is equally,
ifnot moro guilty.
The spirit of persecution with which
women too often pursue one of their own
Sex who has
Loved, not wisely but too we'll"
while they apparently regard with little dis
favor, the hoartIess wretch who glories in
having betrayed the love and confidence of
which he is the unworthy object, is as unjust
as it is unwisc, and serves only to confirm
tho low opinion some moE entertain of their
sex. When our "fast young men" begin to
bo regarded in tho right light, their number
will rapidly diminish, and we shall hear of
fower cases OF mistaken confidence and un-
requitod loyo.

Spain and Morocco.

Tho expedition which tho Spanish Gov
ornment has fitted out to operate against
Morocco, delayed by negotiation with the
new Emperor, according to tho latest nc
counts is about to proceed. Its immediate
object is tho province of tho Riff, noun
talnous district including that part of tho
coast Immediately adjacent to the Straits of
Gibraltar. Like most of the mountainous
districts of Morocco, tho Riff is inhabited by
wild raco who profess u certain Allegiance
to tho Shrif of Morocco in his character us
defendant of tho prophet, but who pay
him in his character as a temporal ruler but
very limited obedience. 1t is not sur
prisng, therefore, that he has declined to
become responsible for tho good behavior of
these peoplo, but has loft tho Spanish Gov
'rnment to right lis wrongs. Tho inhabit-
ants of tho Riff still carry on upon small
scale that system of mountain robbery for
which tho whole north African coast was
formerly so infamous. In boats Of rude
construction, they conceal themselves among
tho stccp rocks which jut out into tho sea,
with tho view of surprising merchant vessels
on their passage through tho Straits and
If pursued, they take refuge in the neigh5or.
ing mountain, whero it is difficult to follow
thom. or lato they have mado inroads into
the small tract of territory attached to the
fortress of Ccnts, which belongs to tho Span
iards, and it is to revenge or punish these
inroads that the present expedition is un-
dcrtaken. Perhaps, however, tho Spanards,
instead of pursuing tho pirates of tho Riff
through their businesses, will prefer to soizo
and hold tho city of Tangiors. 1t is not
worry lkoly that, after the costly experience
of the French in Algeria. tho S paniards will
aspire to any great extent of African con-
quest. .-Nep York Tyloune,

Murder in Aurora,

On tho 9Th inst, Mr.. A. Baldwin, an old
and much respected citizen of Aurora,
Portage county. was fatally stabbed by his
nephew named Price. Mr.. B. died tho next
day, and Prco has boon lodged in Jail at
Ravenna to answer to the crime of murder.
Tho circumstances of the assassination were
as follows:
Prico was Incorporate in his habits, and
had drank enough to mako him irritable,
whom Mr.. Baldwin advised him to ethor en-
tiroly leave off drinking or quit the place -
Price in his anger ran into q shoe shop near
by, obtained shoe knife, and returning
plunged it into tho abdomen of his uncle
Until no saw tho blood dripping from tho
knife, Mr. B, supposed he had boon struck
with closed hand. When he found him
selfstabbed no called for help and staggered
to his house. A lad of dozen years wit
messed tho blow but was to much frightened
to render any assistance.
When arrested, Price expressed the hope
that he had killed his victim. Both tho
parties were ovOr 80 years of age, and Price
was under many obligations to Baldwin for
favors rendered, running back some thirty
years.
Tho funeral of Mr.. Baldwin was ore OF

it's best to oloct Judge Rannoy, because, as
it alleged, he was known to be for justice to

tossed to take any interest in the wolfare OF

EMGRANT TRAIN PLUNDERED.-A cores.
pondont of the Leavenworth Times. uCder
date of Oct. 10, at Beach Valley, Santa Fe

Tho mail from tho West arrived horc

horrible massacre by tho Indians. The
mail men found tho bodies of four persons
-throo men and ono woman--murdered
and scalped, lying by tho road side. Around
thom lay scattered several lottors, but as
thoy were written in French, no ono in the

to DO ascor.ained who thoy were or wherc
they wero from. Beside the body of the

as if to catch a smile or word of recognition.

Tho officer in command of the escort that

A CHILD WITH Two HEADs-SUccEssFU
AMrUrATIoN OF OHE.-A correspondent of
the North Andover (Me) .4dUOcdLe tells the
following:
"On tho 18th of September, last a child
was born in tho town of Palmyra, having
two heads. Tho names of the parents are
John and Mary Ward. The first a natural
head, seemed nearly perfect as that of an
infant usually tho second. or unaturNl head
was connected by neck of about tho length
and little above the point where tho head
and neck naturally join. Both heads were
of about the same size and facing opposite
ways. Hair grow perfectly natural on both
scalps, but tho second head was entirely
wanting in foaturos-there wero few
small irregularities whero the faco or fea.
turos should have been, appearing as if na.
ture had attempted to form features, but
without success. The health of tho child
seemed good, and it grow we'll until the 9th
of tho present month, (Oct.) when tho un-
natural head was SUCCESSFULLY amputated at
the neck by DR.. J. O. Manson, of PltfieId {;
dissection of this showed the skull to be
composed of bone and cartilage; also what
should have boon bono in tho neck proved
to be cartilage. The bead contained sub
stance almost perfectly resembling brain,
but of less density. 1t has now been five
days since the operation, and the child ia
fast recovering.

What is Proposed to do abont it..

Tho Richmond Enquirer of tho 7tb has q
significant article in reply to South Caro-
linan who wants to know if Gerrlt Smith
and J. II. Giddings are not to be demanded
by the Governor OF Virginia. The Enquirer
says:
Our South Carolina friend may rest
assured that the Executive of Virginia will
do his duty. As for demanding tho rend.
ton of mon at the North, who as adors and
abetters, and accessories before the fact are
implicated, tho Executive of Va. can only
make such requisition upon an affidavit, or
tho finding OF grand jury.
Should an affidavit be madc, or true bill
found, tho Executive of Virginia will Uake
a rcquistiOn. no matter who may be the
man implicated. A refusal to deliver up
of Virginia to consider. As yot, no such
affidavit has been mado or true bill found,
unon which tho Executive can base roqui-
sition.
Tho Executive of Virginia will exert all
tho powor entrusted to him in bringing all
oifeuders to justice, and no position in SO.
cioty, or the government of any State, can
shield tho offender. The higher such po-
sition, the greater the criminality of the
offense, and tho more strenuous will be the
efforts to bring such offenders to justice.
Tho Executive of Virginia will vindicate hor
honor, aud, wo hope, tho Southern States,
will be prepared to rally TO Virginia, whom
she orders her house to be put in order.
The Charlostown trials may be over, but
tho end is not yet"

Insanity Of Gerrit Smith.

With regard to the insanity of Gerrit
Smith, the Utica Herald of Thursday, the
10th. says:
We arc greatly painod to lcarn that
Gerrit Smith, tho FREQ hearted but sadly
crratic phiianthropist. became on Monday
last an inmate of the New York State Lu.
natic Asylum, whore it has boon found
necessary to place him on account of
marked insanity. We learn that he is very
violent and has exhibited disposition to
commit suicide, and that an attendant keeps
constant watch over him to prevent him
from laying violent hands upon himself.
This result wo hear attributed to tho con-
necton of Mr.. Smiths name with the Har-
per's Ferry affair, though many will regard
it as the consequence Of long seated and
marked disease.
Mr.. Smith is said to havo an hereditary
prodispostion to insanity. His father, Putor
Smith, although tho possossor of an immense
estate and surrounded by overy circum-
stance o: prosperity, was subject to fits OF
profound dependency, during which he
was under tho impression that he would
die beggar.
Uuliko his noted son, no was exceedingly
sharp in his bargains and money affairs.
IL is also said that tho late Pctor Sken Smith
tho brother of Gerrit, was for some time ar
inmate of lunatlc asylum, though, whom
he diod, he was generally regarded as in
possession of his reason. Gerrt Smith has
lost all his children. except one, tho wifo of
Col, Miller, of Petorboro. A nephew of
Mrs. Smith, Col Fitzhugh, was the captor
of the fugitive Cook, fact which greatly
disturbed tho mind of Mr.. Smith. John
Cochrane, a democratic politician of this
city, another nephew of Gorrit Smith has
also, BY his speeches, purged himself of any
completely in tho Harper's Ferry affair.

Confession of CooIr.


Cooks confession, written by himself
fills twenty one pages OF foolscap. 1t was
read in Court by Prosecutor Hunter, and
is jealously guarded, for purposes to be
hereafter developed. The Charlestown
Tribune correspondent writes tha. the
confession threw comparatively li;,le new
light on the Harper's Ferry affair, and
adds:
1t was mostly record OF Cooks per,
sopal experience. II related how he frs,
became acquainted with Brown in 1856.
just after the battle of Black Jack; how
he was induced to join Brown to co-opc-
rate with him in his labors for securing
the freedom of Kansas; how certain expe-
diiions for rescuing slaves from Missouri.
and setting them free in Canada, were
accomplished, and similar details equally
irrelevant. The more important portions
were those which told OF the Convention
held in Canada, at which the well-known
constitution was framed; Of the military
training under Stevens, which Browns
party went through, altering their origi-
nal Intention, which was TO be instructed
by Col. Forbes, and of his own explora-
tlon OF Jefferson County, Va, under
Browns directions, to prepare the way
for the insurrection.
Gerrit Smith, Fred. Douglass, DR.. S. G.
Howe, and others, were mentioned in :he
confession, but not in the way TO deeply
implicatG them. Their connection with
Brown involved, however, the presenta-
lion of pistols, money, &c. Cook said
that the time Of the invasion would have
been different but for the information Civ,
en- by Col, Forbes. But, altogether, the
confession does not bear very strongly
upon the case, and it is the opinion Of The
Court That Cook has withheld the greater
part Of his knowledge. For certain rea-
sons the paper is kept secret, and will not
be permitted to be published
