for his second wife his own stepmother, who,

The lady is, therefore, not only stepmother and
aunt to her husbands children, but also their
grandmother, while the husband is step-father to
his step sisters. Her issuse by this marriage will
not only be own cousins to their step brother,

By this time, wind and weather permitting, the
ports of Charleston and Savannah are pretty
thoroughly blockaded. This to Secession will be
the severcst blow of ALL and will make the cities
thus closed desolate wastes for years must

1t will be terrible but just retributon The
New York Tribune says of the feet:
"They are all old but substantial whaling
vessels, double decked, to give them greater
frmness. They were stripped of their copper
and other fittings, which were not necessary for
so short a voyage as they will make, and loaded
with picked stone, as deeply as was safe.
In the bottom OF each ship hole was bored,
into which was fitted lead pipe five inches in
diameter with a valve so fixed that though per-
fectly safe even for a longer voyage, it can be
very quickly removed. 1t is calculated that the
ship will be filled and sunk to the bottom in
twenty minutes after the removal Of this valve.
The vessels number twenty-five, and average
about 330 tons

sentence of Thomas NolI for the Crime of
Murder.

Thomas Noll. the murderer of Paulius Crosse,
was brought befor the District Court last Satur-
day for sentence, having, on the Saturday pre-
ceding. when arraigned, plead guilty TO the char
res in the Indictment for murder. When asked
by the Court if he had anything to say why sem
tence shou'tSnot be passed upon him, he remained
perfectly silent, probably too much overcome 10
answer After full minutes silence. Judge
Da,ngerGeld ordered the prisoner to rise, and ad-
dressed him as follows:
"Thomas Noll, you have confessed that you
are guilty of the crime of which you stand ac-
cused, and proof has been made before me that
the murder was committed premeditatedly. The
law imposes upon me the painful duty of sentenc-
ing you. When say that the duty is painful, l
do nothing more than declare fact, which any
one not devoid of every vestage of human SYM
pathy must feel when placed in my position.
You stand before me painful monument of
unrestrained passion, fostered and fed by vicious
and corrupt associations. Perhaps you have
been reared by kind and devoted parents, who
tried to nstill into your breast high and honora-
BILE sentimcnts-such as would have made you
useful in society, and a solace to them in their
declining years. If so, pity you in your soli-
tude in the still hours of the night, when these
reflections come upon you but these early less
ons may be good seed which even yet may bring
you hope and consolation, by leading you to
make proper proper preparation for the change
which is shortly to take place with you You
must prepare for death, as the only atonement
you can now make to violated law. You have
taken life wifully and maliciously, and yo,r life
is the penalty demanded by the living. As the
agent in administering justice, now impose the
sentence, which is That you he taken hence by
the sheriff of the county, and on Friday, the
3lst day of January, 1862, at the county Jail, or
other convenient place of, or in the county of
Trinity, between the hours of 10 a. m. and p.
M, of that day. hanged by the neck till you are
DEAD DEAD! DEAD!!!
Noll listened with apparent frmness and indif-
ference until the sentence was pronounced, when
nervous trembling was observed, as he raised
his hand and drew it across his eyes. The sheriff
removed the prisoner to the Jail, from whence he
will be taken to the scalold on the day appoint
ed to expate his crime.
We may be able, at the proper time, to give a
sketch of NOlls life and history.
