learned counsel for the prisoner, and gladly
would we have found some way of escape from
the conclusions to which we have been driven
oy an imperative sense of duty. To deal with
the life of fellow being involves tremen-
dous weight of responsibility, but it is a duty
whlch we have sworn to perform, and whilst
we admit that our sympathies for the unfortu-
nate criminal have stood up to oppose our pro-
gress in the way of duty, we have been COM
peied, by the stern mandate of our official obli-
CATION, to thrust them aside and fearlessly and
lmpartially to meet this awful responsibility.
entertaining these views, we are compelled
to oVerrule the motion for new trial and in
arrest OF Judgment in this case, and judgment
is therefore ordered to be entered on the in
dictment.
The prisoner was then requested to stand up,
when the Court addressed him as follows:
JOHN CATHCART, have you anything further
to say why sentence of death should not be
pronounced?
Prisoner-Yes. l am not guilty of such
crimes as am charged with, before God.

louisiana does not take kindly to the seces-
ion business. We give special telegraphic
dispatch from New Orleans saying that the
thing is a failure there. How could it be
otherwise? What would be the future of New
Orleans without the Union? All that she is
she owes to the blessings of this great confed-
eracy. Cut off the free States from her, aud
the Mississippi would fail to bring her its pres
ent tide of commerce and wealth and popula-
ton. Aside from this, Louisiana has grown
up to strength and prosperity under the wings
OF the Union, as she could not else have grown,
and it is rather hard in these new States to
talk of rebellion. In the case of Florida, Sc
cession would be ridiculous, for were she once
to get out of the Union, she has not popula-
tion enough to get back again as State, and
wonld have to remain in territorial pupilage,
subject to settlement by nrothern men. The
manifestations of disunion at this time are
nearly all in the Gnlf States. Delaware Mary
land, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, North
Carolina and Virginia, remain firm for the u
nion.--North american.

WALKING A RAFT.

There was a fellow once stepped out of the
door at tavern on the Mississippi meaning to
walk mile up the shore to the next tavern.
Just at the landing there lay a big raft, one of
the regular old fashioned whalers-a raft a
mile long.
Well, the fellow heard the landlord say tho
raft was mile long, and he said to himself,
81 will go forth and see this great wonder, and
let my eyes behold the timbers which the hand
of man hath hewn." So he got on at the
lower end, and began to ambulate over the
wood in pretty fair time. But just as he got
started the raft started too, and as he walked
up the river, it walked down, both travelling
at the same rate. When he got to the end of
the sticks, he found they were pretty near
ashore, and in sight of a tavern so he landed,
and walked straight into the bar-room he'd
come out of. The general sameness of things
took him little aback, but he looked the land
lord steady in the face, and settled it in his
own way.
s'Publican,'' said he, ssare you gifted with
twin brother, who keeps a similar sized tav-
ern, with duplicate wife, comporting wood
plle,and corresponding circus bill, a. mile from
here 2''
The tavern keeper was fond of fun, and ac-
cordingly said it was just so.
"And: publican, have you among your dry
goods Tor the entertainment of man and horse
any whiskey of the same size of that ofyour
brothers. ?''
hhu lhe tavern man salu, tlat from lne rlS-
ing OF the sun even to the going down of the
same he had.
They took the drinks, when the stranger
said, F'Publican, that twin brother of yours
is a fine young mana very fine man, indeed.
But do you know, I'm afraid that he suffers
a good deal with the Chicago diphtheria 20
''And what's that ?'' asked the toddystcker.
sFIt's when the truth settles so firm in man
that none of it ever comes out. Common
doctors, OF the catnip sort, call it lynn. When
l left your brothers. confectionery, there was
raft at his door, which he swore his life TO
was mile long. Well, publican, walked
that Eraft from bill TO tail, from his door to
yours. Now, know my time, am I'm just
as good for myself for hoss, and better
Tor that than any man ever you did see. I al
ways walk mile in exactly twenty minutes,
on good road, and I'll be busted with an
overloaded Injun gun if I've been more'n ten
minutes coming here, steppin' over the bIam-
ed logs at that.''

sold in the groggeries, gives the following re-
suit: Four parts camphene, three parts molas-
ses. The other part is a compound of forty
per cent whisky, blue vitriol and an imitation
of Cayenne pepper. The brandy, gin and
whisky, are all of nearly the same consisten-
cy. The difference being in slight variation
of parts to affect the desired taste and color.
For instance, a great quantity of molasses and
tobacco juice are present in the brandy, and
more vitriol in the whisky. We recommend
these beverages to persons who desire to stop
drinking. We pledge our reputation for sci
entific knowledge, that he who continues
in the daily use of these liquids, will stop
drinking in very short time.

Story OF FRENCH GIRL.-The New York
correspondent of the Boston Trareler writes
GA short time since one of the many agents
that are abroad selecting musical talent for A
merica, sent on to the care of Adams x Co.'s
Express, French girl, who was engaged to
teach for one year in a southern institution on
a salary of $500 per year. On her way to New
York she saw a German merchant of this city,
who was smitten with her, for she was yonng
lady of Dazzling beauty. He followed her to
New York and made formal proposal for her
hand. The gentleman was well known to the
head of the house of Adams & Co. as a man of
wealth and standing. But the young teacher
declined the proposal, at least till her contract
for teaching should expire, and the consent of
her parents obtained. But the gentleman was
not to be put off. The lady had great conf
dence in the integrity Of the company, and re-
lied on what the house of Adams & Co. said
of the honor and position of the suppliant.
She relented and yielded, and cards are now
out for the wedding at one of our most FASH
ionable hotels, and this young adventurer,
with nothing but her talents and beauty, will
soon be at the head of an establishment, with
husband worth S300,000.''

MRs. LINcoLN.-A correspondent of the n !.
I. World, who evidently sees the future mis-
tress of the White House in the mos: favorable
point of view, writes of her as follows:
''She is yet apparently upon the advanta-
geons side of forty, with face upon which
dignity and sweetness are blended, and an air
of cultivation and refinement to which famili-
arity with the courtly drawing-rooms of Lon
don, or the aristocratic saloons of Paris, would
hardly lend an added grace. She is admra-
bly, calculated to preside over our republican
court. If one were permitted so far 10 de-
scribe her personal appearance as to meet half
way the respectful curiosity which is generally
felt upon the subject, the description would
be that she is slightly above the medium stat
ure, with brown eyes, clearly cut features, del
icate, mobile, expressive; rather distinguish
ed in appearance than beautiful, conveying to
the mind generally an impression of self. pos
session, stateliness and elegance. distrust

that she will make as admirable leader of the

How IT WoRKs.-The tenor of our advices
indicates the existence in South Carolina and
two or three other States of intensity of feel
ing which threatens great Inconvenience TO
the business interests of those States. The
action of the South Carolina legislature, and
the excitement of which that is the lever, Is
already alarming the holders of the bills OF
South Carolina banks. They are thrown upon
the banks in such quantities that the most ur-
gent measure pressed on legislative attention,
after the act calling State convention. is one
for the suspension of specie payments. Thus
promptly does that spirited State get fore
taste of the embarrassments which will over
take her business if she perseveres in the ILL
advised course on which she has entered. Her
finances deranged, her credit crippled, her
people staggering under taxation, and perhaps
her negroes uneasy and On the point OF Insur-
rection, are evils that follow so naturally in
the train of attempted secession, that severe
discipline may lead our infatuated brethren to
retrace their steps before they shall have pro-
yoked a collision with the federal authorities.
