TIE UANDWRITING on THE Naturalization,
or that part of it comprised within the city Of
Richmond is in a state of excitement over what
the Examiner styles " traitorOus and ineendlary
legends" which appear of nights OH the walls OF
public and private cdilices in the rebel Capitol
They are scrubbed out in one place only to re-
appear in another. The impunity with which
they are written, il appears, results IN great
part from the fact that owing to tho scarcity oil
coal. gas can only be kept on the street lamps
until midnight. The writing is said to he IN a
" fair. round, deliberate hand and the Examiner
gives us some specimens
"Southern hearts are beating low
Manassas boosters shun the foe:
Stars and Stripes shall wave again
Northerncrs tread this ebon maln.'
"Tbe Lord is on our side but in consequence
of pressing engagements elsewhere, could not at
tend at Pea Ridge, Donelson, etc.
"On Yorktown walls the cry is still they
come'"
"Change your bells into cannon, and charge
with Confederate 5s."
"Nationals unfurl your bapners over York
towns walls"
Southern boosters grasp the dust,
In the Lord you vainly trust,
For the Lord you fain would cheat,
With IIalcyon lips aud Pluto's feet-
The cry is still they come !"
The Examiner adds lugubrously that these
81 ribald Inscriptions prove a great attraction
to the oungers,' and that Many bitter impre-
cations were vented against the unknown perpe
traitor of the scurrilOus performance"

DOUGLAS ON ANECDOTES Douglas, though
not greatly addicted to anecdotes, would some
times tell quite good one, and tell it remarka-
bly, we'll. In reference to Judge Reynolds OF IL
linois he once related the following
"Some years ago. a man by the name OF Green
was tried before Judge Reynolds on charge of
murder aud found guilty. The day for the
Judgment of the court being arrived, the Judge,
who was disposed to be as humane as circnm-
stances would allow, thus proc eeded to discharge
,he solemn duty imposed on him by law. " Mr..
Green, stand up" Mr. Green stood up.)-
" Mr. Green. when would it he agreeable to you
to be hung? Mr. Green, il you have no otjec-
t;ons YOU will be hung three weeks from next
Friday. Mr.. Clerk look in the almanac and
see whether it comes on Sunday or not"

FIxAL.--The Supreme Court have finally af-
firmed the judgment of Judge Daingerfeld, in
the case of the People vs. Noll. District Court
sentence will be passed. We publish the findings
of the Supreme body entire:
The People VS.. Thomas Noll.-The proceeding to
determine the degree of the crime Of murder
after plea of guilty is not trial, No issue
was janed upon which there could be trlal.--
There is no provision of the Constitution or OF
any statute which prevents Il defendant of plead
inc guilty instead of having trial by a jury
If he elects to plead guilty to the Indictment the
provision of the statue for determining the degree
of the guilt for the purpose of fixing the pan
ishment does not deprive him of any right of trial
by jury.
The statute does not in terms, require that the
examination of witnesses to ascertain the degree
of the crime shall be had at the time of or immc-
diately after the plea of guilty. If the direction
that the Court shall " proceed" etc, might be
considered as indicating that this inquistion was
to be in continuation of the arraignment and
plea it would equally require the sentence to be
pronounced at the same time, which would be in
contraventi on to the provisions requiring a GER
tain time to elapse between the plea and the
Judgment. The provision is that the Court
shall proceed, by examination of witnesses. to
determine the degree of the crime aud give SEN
tence Immediately"
Nor is this inquistion q plea or verdict OF
guilty. and is not therefore within the operation
of the provisions which require certain time to
eapse between the plea or verdict and the pro-
noupcing of Judgment. The amendment to the
statue by which the crime OF murder was divided
into degrees and this special mode for ascer-
tanning the degree on plea of guilty, was
enacted after the provisions requiring the lapse
of certain time between the plea and the
Judgment, and in this way doubtless it has
happened that the two cases are not subject to
the same regulations. Although it may appear
that the same considerations of eXpedency apply
to both cases, yet as the mode of proceeding
adopted in this case was not contrary to any
provision of the statue, and as no substantial
right or indeed any right, of the defendant has
been niuriously affected, there is no reason for
interfering with the judgment upon this ground.
The statue does not prescribe any form in
which the termination of the degree of guilt
shall be expressed. Any decision or judgment
which shows the conclusion derived from the
examination would be a compliance with the
statue. The form adopted in this case is, after
recting the plea and examination of witnesses,
that Z" the Court now finds the defendant. Thomas
Noll, guilty of murder in the first degree, and
oath adjudge the penalty therefor is death. -
The whole judgment shows the determination OF
tle dGFree esea Of Of IhG ta crime in terms sufficiently
Judgment affirmed, and Court below will
appoint day for the execution of the sentence.

MUST ALL BE ONE PEoPLE.-The Louisville
Journal in long article upon the subject of
division of the Uuion, closes in the following
forcible sentences. 1t says
"We acquired Louisiana because we were
resolved that the Lower Mississippi should not
be possessed and controlled by any other Gov
eminent than our own, aud beyond all question
we are still more deeply resolved upon this now
than we were then So long as our people, the
people of the mighty West and Northwest, have
the strength to strike a blow, they will never
consent to any treaty of peace placing the Lower
Mississippi under Il foreign sovereignty. In TACT
there is no earthly truth more certain, more in
disputable, than that however terrible and desc
latiug the war may he, there can never be peae;e,
in the country until what was one country shai
again be one country. 1t may be republic, II

Weaverville, Saturday, June IA, 1862.

SENATOR HENDERSON, of Missouri, speaking in
relation to the abolition of slavery in the border
States, says:
"Candor compes Union men of the border
States to do Justice to the President and even to
his friends in Congress. This terrible revolution
was brought about by Mr. Yancey, and his con
fedcrates, by inflaming the Southern mind against
the dangers OF Abolition, which they knew to be
Tls,-i-osSt Iua sAatil A.sc T.,
self destruction and in the letter of Messrs.
Yanccy, Rost, and Mann, they have erected a
monument of inamy to these consplrators.-
They say, what every sensible man must now
admit, that
at was from no fear that the slaves would be
liberated that secession took place The very
party in power has proposed to guarantee slavery
forever in the States if the Sonth would but re-
main in the Union. Mr.. LncOlns message pro-
poses no freedom to the slave, but announces
suhiection of his owner to the will of the Union
in other words to the will Of the North. Even
after the battle of Bull Run, both branches of
the Congress at Washington passed resolutions
that the war is only waged in order to enforce
that (pro-slavery) Constitution, and to uphold
the laws (many Of them pro savery) and out
of one hundred and seventy-two votes in the
lower House, they received all but two, and in
the Senate all but one vote. As the army com
menced its march, the commanding general is
sued an order that no slaves should be received
into or allowed to follow the camp"
