Trial of Cook.

CHARLEsrowS, November 9,--The trial
Of Cook attracted great crowd in the
Courtroom, both yesterday and to-day.
Gov. Willard and Mr.. Crowley, the brothers
in-law Of the prisoner, occupied seats beside
him. His counsel are j. z. Mcdonald, At
torney General, and Mr.. Voorhees,, District
Attorney of Indiana, and Messrs. Lawson,
Bolts and ThOs. G. Green, of Virginia. The
prisoner was we'll dressed and maintained a
firm and dignifed demeanor. He plead
guilty to all the counts of the indictment ex-
cept that charging treason. The demurrer to
the count of treason was argued by the Coun-
sci and overruled by the Court. A jury was
obtained-the questions put them being
about the same as in Browns case. pH
Mr.. Green, for tho prisoner, admitted the
fact Of the prisoner conspiring with slaves to
rebel, which is punishable with death or i'm
prisonmert for life. l.e. H.i
Mr.. Hunter then rose and read the confess
sion of Cook. 1t is written by himself, and
fills twenty-five foolscap pages. 1t elicits moth
ing new except the fact that he duplicates
Fred. Douglas and DR.. Howe. The confession
is to be published in pamphlet form, for the
benefit of Samuel G. Young, one Of the wounded
men at Harper's Ferry. . nov
The session of the Court TO- day was spent ii,
taking testimony and opening the argument
for tho State. ''
The feeling against Cook is stronger than
against any of the other prisoners. He ia
regarded as having been spy for the insur-
reotionists. H.-
Strong efforts will be made by Gov. Willard
to save his life .N... ....f

necessity for military assistance at Browns

Ricketts,, commanding the Artillery Company

master at New Orleans was telegraphed to
make arrangements for transporting the troops
to Point Isabel, to which place they are now
probably on the way.

The Country is Safe-kesp Cool.

On the7th of February, 1887, when Mr.. Polk
was Speaker of the lower House of Congress, Mr..
John QUINCY ADAMS presented a petition rep
rsssnted to be from eleven slaves Of the town
Of Fredericksburg, in the county Of Culpepper
iu tho State of Virginia, and wished to inquire
il it would be in order to present it. The
Speaker said that = petition from slaves was
novelty and involved o question that he did
not feel called upon to decide. He would like
to take time to consider it, and In the mean time
would refer it to the House.
Dixon H. LEWIS, Of Alabama, fairly frothed
at the mouth, and, turning to Mr.. ADAMS,
calculated at the top of his voice, "By c.,
sir, this is not to be endured any longer"
" Treason Treason! !" screamed half dozen
other members. "Expel the old scoundrel :;
put him out; do not let him disgrace the house
any longerr'
DRooNGooLy, one member Of tho Virginia
representation, introduced resolution to bring
the Ex-President to the bar of the House, and
that Mh. Polk administer him censure, for
"siving color to an idea" that bondmen were
capable of exercising the right of petition.
Alabama and Georgia were for furnishing
the Old Man Eloquent. South Carolina was
for taking the petition from the House and
burning it. Days were consumed in discus
sing how the petition should be disposed Of
which was found to be, not in favor OF eman
cipation, but for perpetuation of slavery.
At period of high excitement, HENRY A.
WISE, in an adjoining room, was sent for,
with the accompanying message that the sta
sility of the Union was in danger. Breath
lees and impatient, Mr.. WISE made his ap-
pe.rance, and inquired what was the matter.
He was informed.
Sand is that all?" calculated Mr.. WISE.
"The gentleman from Massachusetts has
presented petition signed by slavesi"
"Weh, sir, and what of that? Is any body
harmed by itY Sir, in my opinion slaves
are the very persons who should petition.
Mine, sir, pray to me, and listen to them;
and shall not the feeble supplicate? Sir, |
see no danger-the country believe is safe."
We hope that in these days of excitement
and false clamor of the infdelity of the
North TO the South, Governor WISE will saw
to those who say the Union is in danger.
"K eep cool--the country is safe."

SUR AGAINST A SPANISH NoBLEMAE FOR
BrcAMY.-At Milan, scandal is busy with an
event which has something Of the ludicrous.
A nobleman of some wealth-who had con-
tracted marriage by civil contract before tho
legal uthorities-found it expedient to disown
the tie after while in order to connect him
self with Milanese lady of great personal
attractions. The second marriage was solem-
lied in church. But the lady in her turn, hav-
isg been courted by man Of higher rank and
greater wealth, instituted proceedings to annul
her marriage, upon the plea of bigamy on the
part Of her husband, alleging, now that it
serves her purpose, that his first marriage was
legal. The new bands were published, but
the husband Of the two wives instituted pro-
ceedings to forbid them. The matter is now
before the courts, and it remains to be seen
whether the husband of two wives is to become
a bachelor, and the lady, ambitious of ssce
ond husband while the first is living, is to b.
pronounced spinster.

DESTRUCTIVE PRAIRIE FIRE IN ILLIYoIs.--
One night of last week the great tracts Of
prairie to the northeast, between hero and
Money Creek, were on fire, and much damage
was the result. The farm of Mr.. Gibbons, in
that direction, was invaded by the flying
flames, and thirty acres of corn destroyed, a
large quantity of grain in the stack, (nearly
his entire crop) several thousand rails; in fact,
making pretty clean sweep of tho combustiblo
part of the whole farm. In the early part Of
the same evening fierce fire was also observed
to be raging, apparently five or six miles
distant, to the northwest, and it is feared more
damage is yet to be heard from.-Bloomingto

The Last Great Fire In New Orleans.
The telegraph has already informed us Of
the great fire in New Orleans on the night Of
the Sd inst, but a late number of the Della
furnishes particulars as follows:
The flames spread across Sixth-street the
next above Washington street, and went round
the whole square bounded by Sixth, Chippewa,
Seventh, and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and laid it in
o mass of ruins. All this time, and up to the
close of this disastrous fire, no water was to
be had. The wind increased so that tho cal
oulations for pulling down buildings We're
almost impossible, for no sooner had the Crap
pling hooks been placed on house supposed
to be sufficiently ahead of the flames, when
they came roaring like a prairie on fire, and
were upon the fremen before they imagined it
could be so near. Crossing Seventh street the
flames lashed and roared, and demolished the
frame buildings as if they were playthings,
running completely around the square, and
destroying this as they had done the square
below.
From the corner of Sixth and Annuncia-
ton, the flames went across to the north west
corner of Annunciation, and the wind blow
ing up little more just then, the half Of
the blocks between Annunciation and Laurel,
up as far as Ninth-street, were destroyed. 1t
would be impossible for the reader, from tho
description, TO form an idea of the immense
amount of ground traversed by the fire, un-
less he should visit the spot.
The wind at one time was exceedingly high,
and clouds of cinders and dust filed the air,
and prevented almost every body from stand.
ing before it. An idea can be formed Of the
rapidity Of the fire whom We say that this re-
occupants of the houses fast enough to keep
ahead of the fire, even on one side of square
alone, and on one or two occasions he was
obliged to run the gauntlet Of heat and smoke.
The class Of people occupying the houses
burned, were mostly butchers, cattle dealers,
and others in humble circumstances.

Hot-Tardy Remon nstrance.


A remonstrance has, within few days
past, been signed by numerous persons of the
Third-known as the Flat t-Iron--Ward,
against laying any street railroads on East
Front-street, from Con gress street to Washing
ton-street, and on presentation in the City
Council last night 1t was referred to Special
Committee, consisting of Messrs. sHEARER, Tor
RENEE and PERRY, to report next Wednesday
night. As the city has made contract with
the Pendleton and Fifth-street Market Street
Railroad Company, granting them the route
demonstrated against, and last night accepted
the bond and security of that Company, re-
monstrance can avail nothing without both
parties To the contract assent to an amend-
ment of the route. The Flat-iron boys must
wake up earlier and goto work sooner if they
expect to smoother out street railroads on
East Front-street. na
