Mr. Baker called the attention of the Court to a supposed amendment of the record relating to the summoning of certain witnesses, inclu- ding Generals Lee, Jobnston, and others. The Court stated that the subject was not an amendment, but an rep eon ree to correct the impression generally cirentated. that the Court bad refused to send for those withesses. Mr. Schade asked to offer as evidence two letters written by Capt. Wirz. Letter No. 1 is dated Andersonville, Novem- der 12, 1564, and mentions to the quartermaster the reception of eighteen boxes of sanitary sn) plies for the prisoners, and an intention to - tribute the goods at once. Letter No.¢is dated Jan. 9, 1965, and calls for a guard to escort an increased number of prisoners to the woods for fuel to be used in the stockade. B. F. Dilley sworn :—Witness was im the 54th Pennsylvania regiment three years and seven months.

Any prisoners whe had means could trade in bam, fresh pax meal, vegetables, and things of that Kind. Prisoners conld waik up to the dead-line and trade with tbe guards. Men also traded hams at the cook houses, with slaves, for vegetables. Prisoners took off the clothing of the dead to exchange with the guards for other articles. There was easy water in the wells, enough tosupply one- {th of the prisoners. Mostof the water was taken from the creek, and was very greasy, having come through the cook house. Never aw any stocks in the stockade. Captain Wirz ordered the clerks to knock dewn any man, Confederate or Yankee.scen washing in the creek that run into the stockade. Capt. Wirz tried to get five hundred negroes to enlarge the stockade, but failed. He then sent into the stockade for men, who retused io come till so many other prisoners were put in that some were forced tocomeout. Capt. Wirz got all the spades and axes he conld; but they were so difficult to procure tbat the rebel soldiers borrowed axes from the prisoners to cut their own wood. The Outrage upon Little Octavie Rousseau. THE TRIAL OF LUSRY. CRIMINAL CouRT, Judge Wylic.—Yesterday, Mr. Phillips, in opening the case to the jury, afler s ing of the responsibilities resting upon them, proceeded to recount the circum- stances attending the commission of this hor- rible crime and arrest of the prisoner. last seen of the little yictim bei the crime was committed was about six o'clock on the 24th of November, when she was with aman. About nine o’clock she made her way back to ber home. horribly maltreated, with leg bro- ken, &c. The person who could commitench: ahorribleact wasa fiend of the darkest die— all agreed to this: but the question with the jury is whether the prisoner at the bar is that fiend. It was expected to prove that the er was in the neighborhood of the house of the victim on the afternoon of the occurrence, that he made ob- seene positions to three little girls, at- temp’ to pull up the clothes.of one. an: e was afterwards seen with the little victim. It Was expected to have witnesses to testify that when the prisoner returned home his pants, shirt and hands were bloody, and when ques- tioned in reference to tt gave contradictory ac- counts, saying first that he had been butcher- ing, and then denying it, and that it came from his wite, when they would show that to be im- possible, the wife’s sickness not taking place until four days afterwards. Witnesses would also testify that there was mud on the clothes ot the deceased, and also on the pantaloons of the accused, and that the mud was of the same kind; that when the prisoner was arrested they found the clothes yo reage —s poe a of Aryin: wonld ato That the prisoner bad mates fall and free con- fession. If innocent acquit him, but if guilty let all eay the base creature shall suffer the Lame Mr. Bradley followed, referring first to the enormity of the crime. They (he and bis col- league) had some knowledge of the case, hay- ing appeared tor the prisoner when he was bronght before Judge Fisher on a writ of habeas corpus, by whom he had been dis- charged, and again when he was before the magistrate, by whom he was finally committed. He knew that the power of the Government bad been inyoked to get up testimony, and after the first discharge of the prisoner two energetic officers had taken up the case. They expected to show that the accused (presumed ‘to be innoeent until found guilty) on last Thanksgiving day left his home, and coming up town, got ona frolic, and returinng home during the bours mentioned as those during which the act must have been committed. He was drunk at that time, and does net now re- collect anything which happened except being on 10th street from the time he left home until the next morning. They wonld show that the drees which the prosecution’s witness would testify to the prisoner wearing was not the same as the witness for the defense would testify to, and further would show that at the time the crime is alleged to have been committed, it was impossible for the prisoner to bave done it, The prosecution would attemptto prove aconfession by three witnesses, one of whom, the post office stamp thief, discarded even the honor known among thieves, turned ‘States evidence, and his stories were not cred- ited by the Grand Jury, so the District Attor- ney had to abandon it. The other two bad been. convicted of stealing and sentenced to the Peni- tentiary, but through the exertion of the officers he had referred to, they were pardoned and brought here, but they bad so little confidence in them they put them im jail for safe keeping. They would show that these two enterprising officers expected a reward, that through their intinence the city Council did pass an act au- thorizing the Mayor to offer a reward, but the Mayor refused to sigu it. Dy. Charles M. Ford was called and sworn for the prosecution.

Afterwards eerabea x clock with Dr.May and found r eTing seyere pain inthe lower part of the abdomen. At 40’clock im the afternoon found her in convulsion; also saw ber at 8 o clock in the evening, at which time she was sinking very rapidly. Witness went to the house next morning and ascertained that she bad died. Her death was caused by the lacer- ation of the parts, loss of blood, &c. Witness believes the wounds were made with a blunt instrument of some kind; could not say if it penetrated the body, although the partition was broken down. The child was conscious at the first visit. There were some scratches on the face as if made by finger nails and the face was brnised as if made by a hand held over her mouth. Witness saw that the garments of the accused were muddy and also the prisoner's coat after he had been arrested. 1: appeared stained with mad on the side, but did not show any other discoloration. Witness saw that the child's shoe was half covered with manure and asbes. Soon after the arrest of Lusby witness notieed mud on his cost and blood stains on the wristbands and bosom of his shirt; the lower part of the shirt appeared to have been washeq ont. Witness was cross-examined, but ia the maim he contirmed the previous reports made of his evidence in the Sfer. The jurors, aiter the adjournment, were taken 10 lodgings at the National. Traps MovEMeNTS.—The carpenters and some other mechanics are holding m: in this city to bring abouta reduction of the hours of labor from ten hours to eight hours a day. The mechanies say they could do as much work in the shorter period as they do now. Reductions in the prices of labor of many kinds bave taken place within a few months past; and the.men have usually aceepted the dimin2 ished rates. Demands for imereased wages bearly reaching the highest prices that were paid last r ar, have recently been made, bow- ever, by the men of some of the trades. A Tise| was this week conceded in shipjoiners’ wages, and the sums most of the employers hava agreed to pay are four dollars a day for “old” work, and four dollars and & quarter a day for new work. Ship: have always reeéived ‘arger compensation comparatively than other mechanics. Journeymen shoemakers demanded an increase of twenty. cided to accept the offer.—N. ee S7 The St., Pani Pioneer estimates that the wheat crop of Minnesota this year will thresh out nearly nine milhon Dushele. -
