The Manchester Murder.

The Hartford Courant gives these fur.
ther particulars in regard to the muir
derer Starkweather:
1.-THE murderer Albert T.. Stark
weather, who Is now awaiting his trial in
the county Jail, has throughout, from
the preparation of the murder to the
end of his examination. exhibited the
most obdurate sullenness and hard
hearted Indifference. He has seemed TO
care little as to what the end would be,
and when he told Mr., Campbell, in his
interview with him at the Jail, that he
committed the murder and expected
to be hung and go to hell, he expressed
in words what he thought would be JUS
tice toward himself. That he perpe-
trated the inhuman butchery for the
sake of gain is but too evident, for he
was too well aware, as he afterwards
confessed, that the young lady to whom
marry him while his pecuniary affairs
were in a bad situation, and he was
deeply in debt. He tried every possible
means to accumulate wealth. He att
tempted to borrow money, and repre-
sented that others owed him sums with
which he would be able to replace the
borrowed capital, when, in fact, he
actually owed those persons whom he
had shown as being Indebted to him.
He saw no other way to complete his
object but by the murder of his mother
and sister; to this he stopped, and he
now lies in prison, the perpetrator of a
double murder, exhibiting the hardness
of a cold blooded brute. That the plea
of insanity Is expected to be brought
forward in his defence is already evil
his counsel at the trial objected to ques-
tions put by the prosecution attorney,
bearing upon this point, and the state.
ment Of Mr.. Campbell, who told Stark
weather, at the time of his visit to HIS
cell, that If he was not proved to be in-
sane, he must expect to meet the ex.
treme penalty Of the law.n

Constance Kent's Sentence COMMITTED.

Constance Kent, who confessed the
murder of her brother, and was sem
fenced to death, has been transported for
life to Freemantle, Western Australis.
| It Is said that the information that her
life had been spared produced no visible
effect upon her when it was communi.
Gated. Of this case the London DAILY
Nea0s says:
"The Communication of the extreme
sentence, in the case of Constance Kent,
to penal servitude for life, will at once
approve itself to the public mind as .
decision conformable to justice and hu-
nanity, under all the circumstances of
the crime and its confession. There is
no reason to suppose that the prisoner
pleaded guilty in the hope of extenua-
ting her guilt or eluding the consequent
ces of its discovery. Her confession was
declared by her counsel to be an act OF
contrition, remorse, expiation, whatever
external influences may have stirred her
heart or her conscience to make it. Con.
sidering the failure of detection in the
first instance, and the improbability OF
discovering, after the lapse ofyears, ex>
cept by the confession of the one sus-
pected person, mystery which had de-
fed the first Investigations; considering
the inevitable unsatisfactory nature OF
any such confession, and the difficulty
at least of excluding some merciftll
doubts of the responsible state of q
young girls mind that could have har-
bored such horror out of mere spite
and jealousy, and prompted to do SO foul
and unnatural revenge upon herm-
less child considering all these crcum-
stances, 1t may we'll have been felt that
this was an instance of all others ia
which justice and humanity would alike
be satisfied by punishment not indeed
incommensurate with the guilt confess
ed, but commensurate also with the con i.
ditions of its discovery and the chances
of trial, if the trial had taken its
/ course.u

The Guerilla Champ Ferguson.

The trial of the guerilla Champ Fer
guson, in progress in Kentucky, brings
out some horrible facts. The monster
admits the killing of about fifty men.
He claims to be Rebel officer.
The following is a specimen of the tes-
timony: sol
Moses Huddleston sworn. Shave
known Champ Ferguson for 10 or L
years, and was taken prisoner by him Oh
New Years night 1853, about II O'Clock
1t was at my brother Elan Huddleston':
house, in Adair county, Ky. Twas lying
ON the floor asleep, when Champ came
in and woke me UP. He said, Il viii
fight you now My cousin, my brother
and went up stairs to fight them
couldn't say who shot first. We hat
fought them about I'm hour when my
brother was shot. BY that time the
house was on fire. Ferguson ordered Ut
to bring my brother down stairs. We
did so, and he shot him again. He was
not dead when he shot him the second
time. After killing him they plumber
ed the house of all they wanted. They
even pulled my dead brothers. boots off.
Ferguson went up to the bed where my
brother-in-law lay (NIr. Braxton,) and
said, Damn him, won't poster him ;
he will die soon anyhow My brother
in-law was very low, and we expected
him to die that'hight. I was member
of the 10Th Kentucky Cavalry. / and
my cousin, with some of the men who
were in the house, carried my brother
In. He was dead then. The party now
started for Creelsboro', and took me and
my cousin along with them as prisonera.
They went on as far as Mr.. Wheats
store, about three-quarters of a mile, and
then stopped. Here they stole some
goods and horses, after which they start
ed to Captain Dowdy's. Ferguson was
in command, and with his party fired as
he neared the house. He then made me
and my cousin go and see whom he had
killed. Saw two men dead. Ferguson
was wiping his knife across the heart Of
Peter Zackerey, and said If it had moi
been for his knife the rascal would have
killed him. Allen Zackery was lying
dead also on the ground. The knife tina
Ferguson was wiping on the heart Q
Peter Zackery was about twelve inche
long. When he rose up from wipin
his knife he dropped something / too
to be an old pocket-book. They Wen
from there to Greensboro, and took u
with them. A guard was left with us
and Ferguson and portion Of his mel
| went into the town. I saw them take
horse from little boy who begged har,
for his release, but to no avail. They

told Elliott that he had killed three dc
Lincolnites, and that he intended to Kill
them whenever he saw them. At Burks

General Lees Application for Pardon.

A correspondent of the Petersburg Er.
PTess learns from q planter who lately
had an interview with the rebel General
r. z. Lee some circumstances connected
with that officers application to Wash
ington for pardon. The document is
said to be quite voluminous. No reply
has been received to 1t as yet. The mo-
tives which actuated the request are
thus described:
Had the General considered his own
feelings alone he would have died rather
than humble himself and just cause by
a seeming admission that it was wrong.
| His application was one more proof OF
his love for his country. There were
|, thousands of heightened young men IN
| the South who meditated expatrlatlng
themselves, and who when asked why
they did not seek for pardon, replied That
until General Lee had done SO they
would not. After long struggle with
his inclinations, believing that these
vouno men ought to be saved to the
eonntrv whose future they were 80 we'll
cualif,sd to sdorn, and, by participating
n th. rights of citizenship, to guide and
shans fine General has done violence to

still he had made no abject submission,
hut had accompanied the petition for
| pardon with full statement Of these
things which made his past conduct
seem to him right and proper, and had
avowed his unchanging devotion to his
former principles.

government would send General Lee
a favorable answer.
"'Oh, yes, he replied, undoubtedly
