UadeT1coods reply.
We envy neither the head nor the heart of
Judge Underwood heart SO depraved, so filed
with malignity as to gloat over the agonies of a
dying man, belongs rather to fiend than to hu-
man being. A head with SO little brains as not to
know or care that the manifestation OF such delight
is eternal damnation in the opinions OF good men
in every cline, belongs either to an idiot or a
brute.
A dying man, dying by inches, by slow torture
dying from want of food and want OF sleep, asks
that he may have extended to him the right guar
anteed by the law of the land. One OF the high
est judicial officers of the highest judicial tr1bunh
of the country in open Court officially and dellb-
erately replies with jest, makes sport OF a con-
fnement unparalleled in the annals of cruelty

Bishop Early's injuries were so severe that his
friends thought it imprudent to bring him to
Richmond, but removed him to the home OF Mr..
Cunlif, near the scene of the accident. The fears
entertained by his friends that his wounds by rea
son of their severity and account of his age and
infirm health would prove fatal, are somewhat
relieved, by the Geographic dispatch stating that
