THE CLOSING ARGUMENT.’ = THE ACCUSED ACQUITTED. —_>+—_——_ THE SCENE ON THE RENDITION OF THE VERDICT. SS gee Yesterday, after our report of Gen, Car- rington’s argument closed, he continued by vindicating the character of Dr. Burroughs. Any man would offer to get and pay wit- nesses to vindicate his brother’s honor. Wa Dr Burroughs to be impeached by the testi- mony of Louisa Devlin, and my mouth to be sealed? Who is Louisa Devlin? A woman wkom he would show was behind the scene pulling the wires for the dark and dreadful deed. When the prisoner came to Baltimore, when she went to the assiguation house, when she went to Dr. Burroughs’, who prompted herto doit? Louisa Devlin. When she came to Washington and committed this awful deed, to whom was this news first communicated! Louisa Deviin. John C. Burroughs comes before you an unimpeached and creditable witness. He referred to the question of insanity. They haye endeavored to place him antago- nistical to Dr. Nichols. Dr. Nichols neyer has sworn that this woman was so insane as to make her irresponsible tor her acts. He ad- Mitted that there was 2 marriage contract, and that A. J. Burroughs loved this woman, Was there anything dishonorable in that. He did not intend to cry. If there is any crying to be dcne, he will get Mr. Bradley and Mr. Mason :o do it for him. Mr. bfadley.—lf you had half the sensibility we haye you would do it too. Mr. Carrington resumed, and said that, on the 19th of January, 1862, Mary Harris dis- earded A. J. Burroughs. He, exercising his right, courted and married another woman superior to Miss Harris; and she, stung by the feeling of jealousy, murders him. The name of wife is sacred as heaven itself. No man of honor would clasp a wife to his bosom unless he knew her to be pure. What sort of a wife would Mary Harris haye made! She goes to a house of assignation to inquire if he were the author of these propositions. When she has this conversation with Dr. Burroughs she goes off perfectly satisfied, un- tilthe Devlins put the devil in her head. If she stood behind that clock one minute it isa deaih-blow to insanity. And now, genuemen, the Court has given its opinion, the lawyers have given theirs, and now the responsibility rests upon you. If you acquit this woman upon the ground of insanity, you give a carte blanche to every wicked woman to shoot down any man who has once courted her and after- wards married another woman, and then con- tend that she had dysmenorrhea, when every woman inthe country knows how to cure it by parang the patient to bed with warm bricks and administering a little hot tea, @ You can’t acquit this woman on insanity, and you know youcant. If you want to ac- que her doit; but donot say anything about this nonsense—insanity. ‘When the news of this case goes to England, Scotland, and France, let it not be said that this woman could not get a gentleman to vin- dicate her honor. Mary Harris, without any cause but jealousy, murdered A. J. Burroughs, and I think an honest jury will convict her. How was it with Mary Harris—not a word of warning, nota moment to breathe a prayer, and the spirit of A. J. Burroughs is sent in the presence of hisGod! Oh! it seemed to him when she stood behind that clock waiting for her victim, that she might haye seen the moth- er and wite pointing to her infant boy, crying, “Spare him; oh, spare him!’ She tgld her lawyer in Baltimore that she was going tosue him, (Burroughs.) She would not sue him for money. She did not want money. But the Deylins did. Could the jury rely on the statements of the Deylins, when during the trial of their friend for her life, they Were sitting behind her giggling. Mr. C. was proceeding in rather severe terms pp comment on the character of Miss Deylin when— Mr. Bradley said such conduct was unbe- coming a gentleman, and no gentleman would usesueh language. Mr. Bradley said he wonld not sit quietly and suffer this unprotected lady to be insulted by Mr. Carrington. Mr. Carrington said he would do his duty. Mr. Bradley reiterated that no gentleman would use such language. Mr. Carrington said he would return the in- sult, the gentleman haying used such language against Dr. Burroughs. Mr. Bradley said that Miss Devlin was brought here by him, and he would protect her. An attack apes her was an attack upon him, and he would resent it. The Court ordered the Marshal to stop the quarrelling, and informed Mr. rrington that he was going beyond boundsin using such lan- guage against the lady, against whom there Was nothing in evidence. Mr. Carrington resumed and said, in regard to Dr. Burroughs, he would refer the jury to the whole of Chicago. Mary Harris never could have loved the de- ceased, or she never could havemurdered him. She would more naturally have shielded him. Religion teaches this act to be a crime, and the deepest crime. He did not say that this city was one of licentiousness; it was, comparative- ly, a moral city. But he did say that it was like all other capital cities—London, Athens, &c.;it naturally drew together all kinds of people, with all kinds of motives. The jury did not wish to hurt this woman, nor did he. They could put her in a band-box and send her home. Mr. Carrington closed by expressing his re- grets thatin the heat of argument he had been led to say anything which might be construed into an insult, and said that if he had, he had no such intentions. At four o’clock, the case was given to the jury, as we stated yesterday, who retired, but in afew moments, word reaching the Court room that they had agreed upon a verdict, in spite of the efforts of the officers, the crowd made a break, ladies among them, packed around the Judge’s stand, about the clerk’s desk, and the jury box, and it was with diffi- culty that the jurors made their way to the seats. The accused was brought into the Court room by Mr. Bradley. with difficulty, the crowd surging to and fro to let him pase, and scue mounting of chairs, tables, &c., took place. Mr. Middleton, the Clerk, called the names of the jurors, and all answering, he asked, “Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict !” Mr. John Scrivener, acting as the foreman, advanced to the clerk’s desk and answered “We haye.” Miss Harris was here helped up and sup- ported by Bradley, while, with difficulty, a space was cleared that the jurors might see the prisoner. Mr. Middleton —Look at the prisoner at the ae ee you find her guilty as indicted or not guilty ; Mr. “Not Guilty. The words were scarcely uttered when a tremendous shout reft the air, some ladies waved their handkerchiefs, others cried for yy, while a number crowded around Miss arris and kissed hey,and many gentlemen came pell mell over.the benches and tables to greether. Mr. Bradley took her in his arms and carried her ito an adjoining room where she was congratulated by the jurors. Seeing her thus carried out the shout was raised that she had fainted. A large crowd, even larger than the one inside the Court House, soon gathered at the door of the Court House to get a glimpse of Miss H. when she should come out, and in a few moments Mr. Voorhees made his way into the Court Honse being loudly cheered by the crowd. Here the party re- mained until a carriage was at hand, and she was brought accompanied by her counsel and started for the depot.

HauiFax, July 19—The steamship Africa, from Liyerpool on the sth, via Queenstown on ihe 9th, has arrived. The reported seizure of the pirate Rappahan- nock at Southampton is false, that vesset being safely in the dock at Liverpool. Further correspondence between French and British Governments on the cessation of the American War has been published. Lord Rus- sell says the opinion ofthe British Government is that ships belonging to the Confederate Gov- ernmen and not lawfully transferred to other owners before the toial cessation of hostilities, may be claimed as public property by the American Government if found on British territory, and any counter-claim must be de- cided in the ordinary course of law, by civil tribunals. In the despatch to the British Min- ister at Washington, Earl Russell says the enemy’s commissioned ships-of-war, cannot, during the continuance of the war, be relieved from risk of capture and condemnation by any sale or transfer to a neutral. The Index, the Confederate organ in Lon- don, has suspended publication. LivrerrooL, July *.—Flour declined 1a2d. Beef steady, and the tine qualities rather higher.

A meeting of the preachers and members of the Baltimore Conference, adhering to the plattorm of principles uce@pted at a session of that body at Staunton, in March 1861, was held atthe Wesleyan Female Institute in Stauaton, on the 29th ultimo. A paper was adopted, tron which we take the following: ‘“We stillhave the same powers and privi- liges as a_conference that we claimed in our session in Staunton in 1961 and the obligation to maintain our identity and to extend our usefulness inaccordance with those principles there ayowed is as binding now as then. e look forward with great pleasure to the next session of our conference as a period when brethren in the ministry and Inity, loug sonis rated, shall meet together to unite theirfriendly counsels for the general interests of the Metho- dism throughout our bounds. “A cordial invitation has been forwarded us from the churches in.

DAVIS. A Great Change Since the Execution of the Ny 3 hy eee as Pepe of Clay and Mitchell. The Fortress Monfoe correspondent of the New York Herald writes: f From all the sources of information I am atle to command, there is no doubt Jeff, Davis is slowly but surely declining in health from hig. protracted imprisonment. He will not even Avail himself of the opportunities of exercis@ afforded him, and he has aspace of about twen- ty by twenty feet he could walk about in if be chose; but aa the long hoursef each weary day, he sits at the barred embrasure of bis casemate, sullen, silent, speechless. With his chin alter- nately resting on one hand and then on both, he looks unintermittingly through the opening, Where rest his eyes and what thoughts stir his brain, no one can tell. Before him are the bay and the passing ships, and the Rip-Raps, grow- ing each day into a wondrous work of inipreg- nable strength; and beyond, the blue sky and fleeting clouds and wild sea-birds enjoying the boundless freedom of the outer air, tingling with these sights comes that perpetual mourn. ful refrain, the sound of the waves dashin, upon the beach. Here he is a prisoner, an under what circumstances and under what terrible charges hanging over him. Nota mo- Ment is he leit alone—not a moment passes that heis not under the vigilant eyes of soldiers, There is no egress throngh those strong irom bars. There is no escape (hrough this cordon of muskets. There can be no attemptat rescue from without. What wender is it that thas form has grown more emaciated, those cheeks more sunken, those eyes more Justrous, that iow more wrinkled, his hair whiter, - his words fewer, his spirits sunk m perpetual gloom? Health ha: Weft bim, hope is gone proud spirit is brok and the end is not far, 2m writing no_ fancy sketch. I have been told to-day that Jeff. Davis, if he keeps up his present prison despondency, will nol live sia weeks longer. Yesterday Mr. Davis requested permission fora chaplain to see him. This is the second request of this Kind he bas made <inee his ar- rival. Chaplain Kerfoot was seat to his cell, He greeted the chaplain with w h. “Jt is to you and to this Book,” (holding the Bible in his hand,)+I must look,” he said, “for consola- tion now.” The chaplain talked to tim of his spiritual condition, read to him pas- sages from the Bible, and prayed with*him, After the chaplain left, Davis appeared to be in much better spirits than he bas been in for some time past. He reads the Bible morning and evening, Recently, I am told, he protracts these read- ings much more than at the commencement of his imprisonment. He confesses his belief in the Bible, and professes to haye made it the ruling guide of his life. It is ‘evident that he oes notianey being confined exclusively to reading the Scriptures, for he sometimes clamors for a ferent style of Mterature; but his request in this regard thus far has not been comphed with. This refusal to extend his reading privileges, and not permitting him to write to his wife or see letters from her, have formed the burden of his comp]aints. If permission was given him to have all the books he wished he could not read much him. self, and for the comfort derived from them would have to rely mainly on others reading tohim. Oneeye is now almost totally blind, and the other gives indiention of rapidly be- coming so. He has complained lately of seeing objects double. He still wears his goggles during the day time. Life in prison is neces-arily monotonous. With few it has ever been more so than with Davis. He rises pretty early, usually at five o'clock in the morning. He takes a bath the first thing, using salt water at first, and winding up with fresh water. His bathing facilities ara limited, consisting of a common washtub half filled with salt water, a washbasin of frevh water, coarse towels, and soap. An army blanket he converts into a temporary sereca, and bathes behind this. He is not very partic- ular about his toilet, the fashion of combing bis hair and all that, but is exact upon the subject of cleanliness of his underclothing, sheets, towels, &c. Bath and toi completed, he reads: his Bibte, and at balf-past eight has his break- fast. This is served him from Dr. Craven’ table, The statement in some of the papors that a daughter of Dr. Craven brings him his food is incorrect. A soldier brings his meals to him, Tea, toast, and an egg or two, or broiled steak, usually make up his breakfast. His appetite is very variable. General Miles may cal) in to see him and pass a few words, or the officer of the guard may have something to say; for only these two, except his physician, Dr. Craven, and the chaplain, of course, when he calls, are allowed tospeaK to him. In conversation, he has betrayed an anxiety and even determination to discuss the subject of the impossibility of ever convicting him of treason. He throws himself back upon the question of State sights, as his main point of defense. For some time, findin g that all the discussion was on his own side, he has kept silent on the subject. Except these interruptions m the way of conversation, which, it will be understood, are not gaily ky any means, he passes most of his time till half- past three f. m., his dinner hour, in looking at the window. He smokes his pipe occasiouitlly, but he is no great smoker. He says that mack smoking makes him too neryous. After dinner he passes the time as before. He has supper at half-past eight o'clock, and then directly goes tobed. He sleeps pretty soundly, but more so formerly than latterly. At first the light kept burning 1n the room all nigbt troubled him, but he has become used to it and makes no com- plaint on the subject now, as perhaps he knows. it would do no good if he did. In previous letters I have described Mr. Davis’ quarters and the guard placed over him. Both continue the same as at first. He has been urgent to have the guard in his own room, the rear room of the casement—two are kept constantly in both front and back room and an officer with them—removed and kept in the front room. But his entreaty was of no avail. Next he desired that the guard in his own room might be allowed to stand instead of being kept walking, but here, too, his request has not been complied with. There is every reason to believe that the exe- cution of the assassination conspirators in Washington has been communicated to Davis within the past three or four days. Itis certain that a great and marked change has come over him, and to his undoubted knowledge of this execution the change isattributed. His food is of the best quality, he has abundance of pure air, and there is no special reason otherwise accounting for present gloominess and de= creasing health. Every day Mr. Clay is improving in health, He still takes his morning hour’s walk, and is in greatly improved physieal condition on ac- count ofit. Dr. Bancroft feeds him on hospital diet yet; in fact, his constitution is in no con- dition to stand stronger food. He is very livel and shay if he can getany one to ik wit him, and hopeful as to the future. Nothing seems to affect the physique of Mr. Mitchel. He is apparently in as good health as on the day he was brought here. He goes barefooted most of the time, and takes things coolly and quietly. His manners are not conciliatory, not calculated to attach friends to him. J am told that he has not lately expressed. any fears as to the President pressing & pardon upon him. Fivanctat.—The New York stock market was yesterday rather more buoyant than qn Tuesday, but still depressed under the ad- vanced rates for loans. In stocks the chief feature was the activity of Governments. Agents of foreign houses were buying freely of five-twenties, and some purchases were made by importers fcr remittances in lieu of exe ehange. Seven-tairties are not so-strong; the second series sola at 99%; and the’current issue bas been sold at 1-16 below subscription price. State stocks were rather more active and firmer. Bank stocks sold more freely. The transactions in the miscellaneous stock were merely nomi- nal. Quicksilver advanced ¥; Atlantic Mail sold at 162, dividend off; Delaware and Hudson Janal at 130, ex-dividend. Railroads were _ quiet but steady, prices being generally a frac tion higher. Gold shows less strength. The “pulls” are embarrassed by the advance in money, and have to pay very high rates to have their heavy load of gold carried; some of them are offering to Jend at 1-32 per cent, but find few borrowers. ylbidis bhae CooL WaTER.—At this season of the year & cool draught of water is luxury which we may enjoy with a little care. By the following method, simple and inexpensive, water may be kept almost as cold as ice. Let the jar, pitcher, or vessel used for water,be surmounted with one or more iolds of coarse cotton, to be constantly wet; the evaporation of the water will carry off the heat from the inside, and re- duce it toa low temperature. In India and other yee countries, where ice cannot be procured, this expedient is common. Let every mechanic and laburer have at ek ee of his work two pitchers thus provided, and with lids or covers, one to contain fresh water for the evaporation, and he can always have asupply of cold water in warm weather. Any person may test this by dipping a finger in water and holding it in air on & warm day; after doing this three or four times, he will find his finger uncomfortably cool. This plan will fave a bill for ice, besides being more ithfal, The tree use of ie waier often produces rangement of the internal organs, which, We conceive, is due toa tty of the water in- dependent of its coldness.—Maine Farmer. + &7-The catafalque used at the obsequies of the Iate’President, Mr. Lincoln, m New York, are to be sold at auction to-morrow.
