The Confession OF the Criminal.

FREDERICKSBURG, November l6.-To-
day, Glenroy Baker was hung at Spotsyl-
vania Courthouse for the murder Of judi
son Motley. This murder, it will be re:
collected, took place on the 10th of Au-
gust last, on the Telegraph road, eight
miles from this place. Baker was arrested
the Sunday following, but made a despe-
rate attempt to escape, in which ne
knocked down one of the police having
him in custody with a crowbar, and snapped
a pistol at another. He was subdued,
however, and owing to the insecurity OF
the county Jail, he vas committed to Jail
in Fredericksburg, where he has remained
until to-day, when he was conveyed to
Spotsylvania Courthouse to be hung.
YOUNG MOTLEY, -
the murdered man, was only twenty years
of age, and belonged to n of the most
respectable families in the county Of Caro-
line. During the war he served in the
"Bowling Green Guard" Thirtieth Viz
ginia regiment, and conducted himself in
a n that won the respect and esteem
of his comrades. After the war he en-.
gagged in business neal Jerrill's Mill, in
| Spotsylvania. He was riding along the
road when shot by Baker. The shot wa.
fatal, the young man, according to the ne.
gro's statement, dying almost instantly.
BAKER, H MURDERER,
was formerly a slave of William Richards
of Spotsylvania. He is quite young, and
of the gingerbread" color. His counte'
nance is very bad, and until recently hi
seemed to have no concern about the enor'
nifty of his crime nor the punishment thai
awaited him. His disposition and demeanol
induced the sheriff to double-iron him.
HIS CONFESSION. i
Baker, when arrested, seemed not to de-
sire to conceal his crime. He talked freely
about it. He said his motive in killing
Motley was only to get q new suit o
clothes ; that on going to him after he wa
shot he only exclaimed, 80, Lord,"'a a
died. Baker took his hat and gloves, bu'
got no money. He afterwards shot o
another citizen, Mr.. Warner Wilkerson, OF
the highway, but missed him.
Baker was in due time tried, and con
yicted, and sentenced to be hung this day

Between s and 6 o'clock this morning

storm of applause, lasting for at least i've

The Address to the People Of the
United States.


We lay before our readers this morning
the address to the people of the United
States adopted by the Philadelphia Con-
vention. The reputed author is HENRY j.
RAYMOND: but We take leave to say that
neither his mind nor his heart ever rose to
"the height of this great argument"
Perhaps the members thought that he
would be kept in the traces only by being
bound hand and foot by his own acts, and
80 consented to make him the father Of
this address. ltwould be strange, indeed,
and little creditable to his honesty, if, be-
heving in the doctrines so ably and felici-
tously set forth in this admirable document,
he yet voted as he did for the proposed
constitutional amendment.
This address declares that the southern
States are Zone and all in an attitude of
loyalty" towards the Federal Government.
In an article commenting on the platform,
We have objected to the use of the word
"loyal" in defining the qualiSea Of
representatives: but with this explanation
Of it, We have no objection to its use.
When that portion of the address. was
read which declares that no people sub.
Jected to such treatment as that to which
the South was now subjected could long
remain loyal, cheers went up from all parts
Of tie hall-a demonstration which pro.
ceeded from the northern delegates alone,
and which was thus rendered doubly sig.
nifcant and doubly grateful to the south
ern delegates. Mr.. JOHNSON, of Maryland,
called for repetition of the paragraph ;
and BY unanimous vote 1t was ordered
y b read again. III. RAYMOND then re-.

The Rockingham Register has itself
"gotten into muddle." The sentence
which it quotes from the Dispatch was
written to show that the Enqura's argu-
ment was illogical. 1t was merely the
reductio nd abswdum, and had the neccs-
sary exclamation point after it to show that
we regarded the proposition as untenable.
OF course we could not have stated in earn
est that the DOUGLAS delegates, being in
tauor of the anti vote, had divided the vote
of Virginia. We stated the case in this
form because the Enquirer had claimed the
vote cast in Virginia for DOUGLAS as in IA
yor of the unit vote, and on this point the
Rcgister tcstifcs that the delegates from
the Rockingham district "rcpudiatcd the
unit system at Charleston" and "thc Con-
vcntion sustained them in their right thus
to vote" against the most vehement OPP
position OH the part Of large number OF
the delegation, who held that the unit syS-
tenn was in accordance with the common
law OF the party"
We beg the Register to confine the term
"bolters" used by us to its meaning as ap.
piled to "bolters" from the unit-votc sys-
TEN. We were arguing the question as to
whether the Douglasites were to be
counted among the friends of that system
and it was natural enough to call them
"bolters" from the very system which
they had been declared to be in favor Of
We meant no offence to the DOUGLAS men.
We were in Baltimore with them, and we
