murder Of John Ansley, ceased eating on
Saturday, the 21th, at noon, and up to noon
Christmas day he had tasted nothing. The
jailer BECAME apprehsnsive that Sheets oh.
ject was to starve himself to death, but this
he denied. alleging that he could not eat. A
variety of food was set before him, but he
persistegtly refused every thing. excepting
a mere taste of roast apple. He was failing
very rapidly. and on Christmas morning. .
physician was called in to see him. The
Doctor gave it IS his opinion that death
would ensqs in forty eight hours, If he con
tinued to refuss no nourishmsnt.
About noon on Christmas he was prevail
ed upon to take little Cruel, the physician
prohibiting him from taking any thing but
vesy weak diet, and that in tbs smallest
quantity at time. Ifhe continues to eat
he will soon regain his health. but IL he
should take another notion and abstain for a
few days longer, he will no. require the ofR !.
ces Of an exscutioner. His death warrant
had not been received, but it WAS signed by
the Governor several days ago. He appears
very gloomy and respondent, and spends
much Of his time in reading his Bible. He
denies having murdered Anslsy. but has in
timated that he knew who committed the
deed. He refuses 70 tell who the guilty par.
ty is, and hence his denial Of guilt makes
little or no impression. His execution is
fAsd for tho 10th Of April next.

pending upon them, if it was so? At last
one Of the lenders Of the operatives arose to
speak. He admitted, as every one must,
that the suffering which the war imposed up
on them, and thsn, instead Of advising med

turned and nobly said: " but we will bear il,

and hearty responses to the noble sentiment

England for recognition of Southern indie.
pen ndence comes almost wholly from th,
