On THE ROAD TO DESPOTISM.-
If the military bill should be sustain
ed by public opinion i'll the North,
the South will be less subject of
pity than the nation of lamentation.
For. mournful as is the spectacle of
a free, high spirited and vanquished
people subjected to the rule of the
bayonet, it is not to be compared in
terrible tragedy with that of nation
Of rtmIblicans so false to their his
toric memories, to their fundamental
principles aud their lifelong train
ing; as. to be willin~ to curse any
portion of their cOuntrymen with the
horrors of military domination
When men love freedom so little as
to be willing to enforce tyranny on
their fellows; when their recollection
of the glorious deeds of their ances-
tors fighting against n stamp act and
n tea tax is so feeble that they are
ready to rear the sword of power
above the scales of justice F.; when
their habitual devotion to self-gOvern
ment is so slight that they consent
TO become the instruments of wrest-
ing from their own countrymen the
right to elect their own rulers and
frame their own governments-they
have begun the inevitable march that
will convert them from the instru.
ments of tyranny into the slaves of a
dpspot. He who will consent to en-
slave u freeman is fast preparing to
become himself slaVe.-NctiORdi

new TRIAL.-In our last issue we made
mention of the case of the State as. R. D.
Cross, defendant, being charged with the
killing ofa gentleman by the name Of
Richie, in October, 1865, and stated that
jury had been emparneled and that the
case was being proceeded with On Satur-
day evening a verdict was rendered against
the defendant, and consigning him to three
years imprisonment Motion was made by
defendants counsel for new trial. and on
last TUESDAY evening the case was brought
up before his Honor, Judge w. P. Bond on
the grounds that one Of the jurors had, pre-
vious to the trial, expressed his opinion as
to the guilt Of the accused. a positive
affidavit to this effect was produced, and
this, being corroborated by other testimony,
Notwithstanding the verdict Of she jury and
the able arguments Of the prosecution, 50
deeply pressed His Honor with the thought
that, possibly, the defendant might have
been wronged, he followed the plain teach
ings of the law and favorably received the
prayer of defendants council A step,
that meets the appreciation Of
nine-tenths Of this people For our part,
in view of all the circumstances, we can not
see how the Court could have done other
