As , Mr. Walker, T vance # sate delivery. But to be plain favorite e: of that single man and politician, John Van Buren—I am of opinen that little will be heard of Robert J. Walker four years hence; and I am further of opi- nion that his name will never again be spoken of ina democratic convention in connection with the office of President of the United States. Such are my honestly entertained sentiments upon the sub- ject, and as such you are welcome to them. As one of the many reasons for this opinion, T ad- duce the fact that for no single hour during your long public life have you ever enjoyed the confi- dence of the country or of the democratic party while at this moment your name is only mentioned but in connection with your opposition movements to the administration. This ma; news to you, and if so, the greater is the eo, that the news had not reached you before. But blinded by a self-confi- dence in r great talents and unmatched mpcty, you seemingly indulge the thought that when at play you form with such consummate skill that ‘he public are unable to comprehend your game, or to take a correct view of what is going on. If you will follow me in this letter, I will try and convince you of your error. The public knew that your ex- tensive land and railroad schemes, which you have pressed upon their attention for the last four years, were visionary yer ny they knew, when your imitation Texas letter made its appearance at the close of the Buchanan canvass, that payment would be demanded for it,and hence when your applica- tion for the State Department was pressed it created no surprise. You and your friends considered this post as important to the success of certain well con- ceived plans and designs that had met with pre- vious approval. For you had been honored about that time with a nomination for the Presidency in 1860, by a notorious political clique, com- ‘dof government employés and noted brokers and land speculators of Wall street, at one of our city hotels, and it was reasoned that there was only a step from the State Department to the Presidency. True; but you are not destined, Robert J. Walker, to take that step. Your subse- juent arrangement, however, to possess yourself of this post is not without its interest. The eminent pers sey George N. Sanders, wended his way to ancaster, after this arrangement, and modestly an- nounced his arrival at that place by telegraph, at the same time he sent to the press of this city the intelligence of your selection by the President elect for the Department of State. Those who did not understand the movement were the victims of a vile imposition; but with the initiated, it was known that r name at that time had not been even bey. it of by Mr. Buchanan for the post in question. But the appointment was subsequently pressed with energy and earnestness, and refused with equal earnestuess and firmness, until this clique of adven- turers and speculators—the self constituted New York Hotel Convention—requested again your pre- sence in the city. Here I must omit detail for the want of space. A fresh field for operation in the meantime had been discovered in Kansas, offering superior advan- tages. It was reasoned that as Governor of this Territory you could reach the object you are now in search of—the Presidency. As far as possible, the very course which you have pnrsued as Governor of Kansas, you had marked out to you at these meet- ings, even before your appointment was announced. Are not these facts, Mr. Walker, and is it not also a fact that your actions at this moment are directed by these very men,and are under their immediate control? If you are not misrepresented by rumor, your hesitancy to accept the office of Gov- emor, when first presented, was all af- fected, the better that you might accomplish more speedily certain purposes, among which were the appointments of Sanders, Fowler and Hart. In connection with these appointments, you tried hard for the Tae but fortunately failed in your undertaking. But aside from the benefits whieh your friends were to receive from office in this city, one of the number was to follow you to Kansas on a land speculating enterprise. in which he was to bave your valuable aid and support. This fact was announced in August last for the first time, and would seem now to be confirmed by the following, found among the Heraxp editorials of the 18th of November:— Groxox Sanpens ry Kansas —It appears that George Sanders is out in Kansas, stirring up the bolling pot of the nigger agitation there, when he should be attending to the duties of his office of Navy Agent here, For the last ten years, in or out of office, at home or abroad, the ab. sorbing business of Sanders has been to cononct red re- publican revolutions and filibustering forays, and to make new Presidents. His red republican caucuses and festi vals with Kossuth, ledru Rollin and such, at London, while hoiding the office there of United States Consul, had more to do with his rejection by the Senate than his Presidential philippics against “‘the old fogies,”’ though he may not believe it. We admonish him, therefore, to stick to his navy agency, at least until the Senate shall have acted upon his case; for if, when they reach it, they find him off in Kansas or Minnesota, they tay black bail him again, That's all The following is on the same subject from the b+ mst Washington correspondence of the same te: — ‘The question has frequently been asked why it was that the United States troops have been retained in Kansas, for there appears to be po occasion for their service: there ] am induced to think that I can enlighten the public upon that point. George Sanders, the present Navy Agent at New York, bought and took out to Kanans about seventy portable cottages, or buts, on a speculation. The hard mes ‘came on, aud money being scarce in the @orritory, the speculation proved to be a failure. He Could not dispose of them at any price. What was he to of The thought steuck bim that possibly, through the infiuence of Gov. Walker and his friends, he could per suade the Secretary of War to let the troops winter at Fort Leavenworth, aud if that could be accomplished he could sell these cottages to the government for the use of the army and make a nice spec off of them. What is the re. sult? George comes on here, and shortly thereafte Ger is isaued for the troops to remain at Fort Lave on the plea of preventing a collision that may occur next spring of summer. The cottages are just the very thing ¢ troop® want. So be hires them, or sells them, at % good round price: and thus saves his bacon. Who says George ien'temart? He has been all summer and {all mousing about in the Territory when be should have been attending to his office in New York. Tt must be gratifying for you to know that, while a were thus attentive to your friends in Kansas, y, in return, were not unmindful of your intorests bere.

They would have filled our Custom House with their instruments, as in the time of President Pierce; bot failing in this, they arranged matters satisfactorily, and gave over to their allies, the black blicans, the democratic city of New York. B; time the secret of this oj position is as weil known in Washington as it is here, and | am dis oned to believe that your combined’ assaulta a he administration or the party will hereafter effect but little. For a moment we have been felled in thia city, and by the same men who defeated General Cass in 1848, who opposed James Buchanan in the Cincinnati convention, and who have kept the democracy of this State in a minority for the last five years. These, Mr. Walker, are but part of the returns which an honest democracy have been made to receive from the hands of an unprincipled combination, mostly made up of government offic holders, who, through misrepresentation and fra bave successfully fastened themselves upon the ministration. The character of these men was no understood at Washington when favored with their appointments. Out of the government patronage thus bestowed over a thousand dollars were given at the late election by three of these officers—your de- voted friends. to beat down the party from which they are receiving position and emolument. Can it be that these traitors hope to find a demo- cratic Senate willing to confirm their appointments, and thus endorse their treason to the party?

Our West Indies Correspondence. PuriressurG, St. Martin, | West Inpres, October 8, 1857. { Agricultural Resources of St. Martin—Salt Ponds —Guano on the adjoining Island of Sombrero— Export of Manure to the United States—Occu- pation of the Island by the Americans. The island of St. Martin, as you know, is one of the most northern of the windward West Indian islands, and is so situated that it commands that thoroughfare of vessels trading to this part of the world; the “Sombrero Passage.” The soil is very good, producing sugar, cotton, and all the vegetable family that a tropical and southern United States climate and soil usually can; the yield per acre is not perhaps as great as that of the more southern islands, but still it can with great propriety be considered an average one. The facilities for grazing poe are excellent; in proof of which cite you to the fact that during the prevalence ‘of the cholera at Porto Rico the inhabitants of that island were supplied with cattle and sheep from this place. St. Thomas now receives a great portion of her beef and poultry from us. Possessing a climate of the most salubrious kind, and an excellent soil, what a glorious place this would be for our government to place the wedge that must ultimately make space suflicient for an en- trance and future occupancy of American citizens. But the soil and climate are not the only nor the greatest attractions ; there are others—amongst which, permit me to inform you that we ory “salt pond,” capable, if properly managed, of yield- ing two crops annually, in sufficient abundance to supply the Atlantic States with that very valuable article of universal consumption, and at ‘a cost that would make a Wall street speculator lick his chops. The French inhabitants of the island also 33 some salt ponds, but they are not of much conse- quence. Recently it has been discovered that the little island of Sembrero, (from which the channel al- Inded to before obtains its neme,) has upon its surface that Die valuable manure called gu- ano, of a quality not inferior to the cele- Pano gga ngy eee. - company has been formed in your city for the pur of diggi it up and conveying it to the United States This speculation must prove very lucrative if we are to judge from the extensive manner that it is carried on; numerous laborers have been employed (mostly from this island) in the work, and vessels are often arriving to this port waiting for car; to be fur- nished them from Sombsero, and when laden they Po for New York. The American flag has been hoisted at Sombrero (it being hitherto an uninhabited key unclaimed by an; foret): in strict conformity with the establishe w of nations. Water and other necessaries are obtained from this place, which acts as a kind of tender to the Sombrero laborers. You will at once learn how useful this island would be to Saye prin of the United States, and particu- those engaged in the valuable guano and Thus you see that the American flag has at last been ho! in the West Indies. What is to hinder our gradual dominion over, the most va- luable of the islands? Nothing, save the “ old fogy” notions formerly entertained by the defunct wil party. The Dutch have for some years made this colony a dependency of Curacao; which latter colony enters somewhat reely into the business of salt | manufacturing. ¢ salt works at Curacao belon, to government; here, they are owned by the inhabi- tants. Owned, as this island is, by two governments —the French and Dutch—and valueless thereby to both of them, I have no hesitation in surmising that the United States could purchase both properties, at a small remuneration, from their majesties of France and Holland. There is nothing like trying— particularly when we reflect upon the ultimate re- sults to our country’s welfare. Suppose the Heratp puts the “ball in motion,” and thus inaugurate the spread of our political principles and business ener- gy all over the West Indian islands. Most, if not all, of the West Indian colonies are worthless to their European owners, owing to the This is an admitted fact amd cannot be gainsayed: for Europe seems to have sacrificed the int of the West for those of the East Indies. The majority of the respectable inhabitants, in nearly all of these islands, are in favor of American annexation by pur- chase. New Jersey Items.

Proceeding slowly along the coast, the Phanix, a large vessel, intended to. conver 500 negroes 70 the French Antilles, in this way procured some 500 Africans, principally at Sierra Leone, Monrovia, aud on coast. With this cargo, 200 short of the number the Pheenix could have comfortably carried across the Atlantic, she called, in the pro- secution of her voyage and enterprise, at Fernando Po. There the Africans Soper to have become douctful and uneasy as to their destination and tl nature of the engagement into which they had be: seduced, and during the course of the night, after the Phoenix dropped anchor in that Spanish island, many of the men slipped overboard, swam ashore, and took to the bush, to escape from the boasted advantages of a six years comnulsory service on the — plantations of ini Guada- loupe. e captain of the ship, fearing that a pro- longed stay at Fernando Po would Peay stament the number of these escapes and render his opera- tion still more unsatisfactory to the French govern- ment, next morning got up his steam and the Phoe- nix made the best of her way to the West Indies. This attempt to procure, in the least offensive and hurtful manner that the circumstances of the case admit, African laborers for the West Indies was in rey respect a failure. The number obtained was small, the time occupied in procuring them was great, the cost of the operation was far larger than the French sugar colonies would consent to pay, the Kroomen once deceived were not iikely to be again deluded, and the English government was little likely to bear the repetition of an experiment in the English settlement of Sierra Leone which the French government never for s moment thought of trying at their own settlements on the Senegal. The vernment mts on board the Pheonix had doubtless reported, some months waren? to this escapade at Fernando Po, the ifficulty, or rather the im} lity of obtaining any number of emigrant laborers in this shape from the coast of Africa, notwithstanding the high bounty offered them, the advantages pictured for their enjoyment in the West Indies, and the promise of a free return passage after six years’ work there. The scheme was consequently abandoned, and a contract was entered into by the Luaperial govern- ment ¥ th M. Regis, of Marseilles, for the transfer- ence by Lim of 10,000 Africans to Martinique and Guadaloupe in consideration of £20 a head for each African. Of the selection of M. Regis for the exe- cntion of such a contract, even had it been of a Poesia and cautious and protective kind, we will say no more than that, in the opinion of the well-informed writer of the letters before us, it was, notwithstanding that gentleman's experience of African commerce, in all Shen og a most unfortunate one. It was, however, especially unfortunate in this, that M. Regis had a mercantile establishment Whydab, the port whence the slave trage was ried on by the ip Med Dahomey and those connect- ed with him, and whence Benin. At Whydah, it was at once decided, this French en- lerprise af buying slaves for e tion to the Wrest lies should be chiefly carried on. | did news of this resolution to carry on there a slave | trade under the French flag, and gee by all the authority of the French empire, transpire at Whydah, than, as we have said, the old European slave dealers at once abandoned lawful commerce, and, encouraged by this determination, revived on their own account the slave trade with Caba, where | the sie of slaves, owing to the Seana, in- creasing value of sugar, had greatly risen. heir operations, and the expectation of French demand, brought down on the Bight a whole host, to use Consul Campbell's expressive language, of bearded, unwashed Spaniards, Porta aud Americans; roused, as we have seen, the Chiefs of Abeokuta and the interior to slave hunting and kidnapping; and at once, as the correspondence before us repeatsover and over again, seriously diminished the Ny of produce collected for exportation. American slave | ship after American slave ship appeared in the Bight, and it was announced that M. Regis had chartered four large steamers for his share in the traffic. This announcement roused the attention of | Lys a stent ng in ignorance of the contract, | but his suspicions were lulied by an assurance that the | vessels so chartered were intended for the postal service of the French government. The statement soon proved utterly untrue, for, in a few weeks after it was made a large steamer, called the Stella, appear- ed off Whydah with orders to purchase and einbark 1,200 ne; for the French West Indian Colonies. The ef of this demand for a single ship, with the prospect of three other similar arrivals, con- vulsed the whole Bight of Benin. The chiefs and all their subjects deserted timate trade, and English merchants, Sp ayoe with a large amount of property unpaid for in the interior, were only too happy to be able to contract their operations and ship their pro- re. as fast as possible. But it soon appeared that . Hegis, despite his large African experience, had entered into a vi and speculation. For the £20 a head, which he was to receive, afforded him inadequate means to compete with the slave dealers, who had the open and unrestricted market of Cuba to supply, in the prices they Eeepectively peo em for prime first class Africans.

And as, since the contract was forined, sugar has fallen £20 a ton in value, let us earnestly hope that the miserable and mistaken inducement in which the contract no doubt originated, | i 'd, and that the con- tract itself will be at onee terminated. Bet, sorry are we to say it, the truth mast be — told, that the mischief arising out of this rench enterprise will not cease with the termina tion of that contract, even should the French govern- ment be wise and humane enough to pat an end to a. ped re obstacle to the success of the anti- slave trade policy of England lies in the state of ublie opinion on the subject of the traffic _in Spain, ‘ortugal, Cuba and in some portions of the United States, And this unexpected proceeding of the French government will strengthen and con! their adverse opinion, will be accepted as conveying the moral sanction to the «I trade of the government ofthe French empire, and will show to the world that the policy of France is, on this question, no longer the policy of England. Fron the London News, Nov. 20 | M. Regis—and here we most especially bespeak the attention of the admiralty —ascribes the disay- pointment of the Stella at Whydah to the apathy, and even the connivance, of British eruisers in the Bight of Benin.

Regis to have obtained 1,200 Africans for the Frenes West Indies. Ill as we think of our cruising aystem, we have too high an opinion of the honor ead loyalty of British officers to credit one word of this monstrous charve. M. Regis accounts (or is faduce the dreadful commerce had | extended itself to the other ports in the Bight of — and slyly discusses the question as England were in the same* operrtions as France on the west coast of Africa. We admit With shame that there is a strong desire on the part of our West India interest to follow the fatal exam- ple which France has set, but as yet it has been effectually controlled and averted by public opinion, and we may add that since 1845 there has been no Rose from Sierra Leone to our Wost From the remarks of the ministerial of Paria on the article which appeared in Le Nord, the only inference we can draw is that the Jeapesat movern- ment of France intends, ni ling M.

If 80, unless Lord Palmerston means at the close of his career to abandon the policy of its meridian, questions of the most serious kind must arise between the governments of the two countries; for England cannot with honor abandon the west coast of Africa to a French slave trade, while she inhibits that traffic to all other nations, or tolerate there an outrage on humanity suchas has compul- corily transferred on the east coast thousands of Africans from the Island of Madagascar to the Isle of Bourbon. YBY RED MEN OF AMERICA. Abetraci of the A:mual Report of the Com- maiissioner of Indian Affairs. The Commissioner, reporting on the condition and pros- pects of the various Indian tribes, and exhibiting in detail the operations of the past year, says that the New York Indians continue to improve, generally adopting agricutu- ral and mechanical pursuits and eveb the habits and cus- toms of the whites. By treaties concluded in July and August, 1854, the In- dians in Michigan were relieved from their obligation to remove west of the Mississippi rivor; they received limited but sufficient quantities of land, held by them in several- ty, and ample means for educational purposes. The Menomonees and Stockbridges, of Wisconsin, under advantages similar to those enjoyed by the Indians in Michigan, are gradually preparing themselves to be ad- mitted as citizens of the United States. ‘The Indians in Minnesota are doing well. It is, howev- er, thought that their reservation: are too large, and ought to be curtailed, so as to give to each one a lini ted quantity in severalty, whereby, it is thought, they would receive a greater incentive to personal exertion and industry. A small outlawed band of Sioux committed murders and outrages at the white settlement at Spirit Lake, in March last, for which they have been punished by their own brethren. s A portion of the Indians at the head waters of the Mis- souri were severely scourged by the smallpox, losing by that malady 2,000 souls. Treaties have been made with tribes west of Missouri and Iowa, by which the title of these Indians wo all the lands owned and claimed by them, except such portions as were reserved for their future homes, was extingui sh- ed. Thus 13,658,000 acres were acquired for occupancy by our citizens in Nebraska and Kansas, whist 1,342,000 acres were reserved for the use of the Indians. ‘The lands ceded by the Delawares were sold for their benefit, realizing $1,054,943 71; those of the Toways $184,437 85; and those of the four united tribes $335,350. ‘The tribal lands of the Wyandotts, at the junction of the Missouri and Kansas rivers, were divided amongst them, giving to each soul about forty acres. . During the past summer a treaty was made with the Pawnees, which is calculated, if approved by the Senate, to place these restless and lawless Indians in a settied | condition, where they can easily be controlled. ‘The Commissioner concurs fully with the statements of his predecessors, that our Indian policy has two radical mistakes: iirst, the lands ied to them are entirely too large: secondly, the payment of large annuities. The for mer prevents the Indians from acquiring settled habits; the latier causes them to foster a feeling of dependence and habits of idleness, exposing them to the evils and machinations of inhuman traffickers in ardent spirits, un principled gamblers, and greedy and avaricious traders and speculators. No more land ought to be given them than they can cultivate. They should not be allowed to lease or sell their lands, except to members of their owu respective tribes, and their annuities should be used for the erection of schools and ’ shops; but espe- cially they should be relieved of the presence of worth!css idlers and vagrants of their own tribes, whose wild halnits and roving di preclude them from settling down quietly and orderly. For all such restless characters colu- nies should be somewhere about Fort Bent aad the heads of the Arkansas and Platte rivers. ‘The Feporte in regard to the four great southwesteru tribes—the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws and Chickasas— are very favorable. They have regularly organized gov | erpments and laws, well suited to their condition and cir- No soouer | cumstances. ‘The tribes in the Southern Superintendency have for some years severely suffered from drought, but the present season was very abundant, and they have ample supplies of all necessaries of life. It is expected that the Seminoles will soon remove and settle within the district assigned them in the treaty of B56. A del jon of Seminoles will soon visit their brethren in Florida, to induce them to emigrate to their own new homes. The Commissioner recommends the repeal of tho law requiring that the moneys due to the Indians should be paid by the Superintendents instead of the agenta. He also assigns at length his reasons with great force why the per capita payments should be abolished. The Commissioner suggests the propriety of acquiring from the Cherokees $00,000 acres, on which the whites | have already made settlements entirely against the laws, and which the Indians are willing to dispose of. The colonization of the Texas Indians on the reserva tions set apart by that State is favorably progressing The Indians in New Mexico are beginning to have some understanding and appreciation of our power and re- sources, and the necessity of preserving peace with one another and with the whites, ‘The Indians on the Upper Arkansas and Upper Platte, with the exception of the Cheyennes and Kiowas, have been quiet and peacefully diaposed during the year. The Cheyennes were in open hostility, and though chastised by our troops, com ed by Col, Sumner, are not yet sufll- ciently subdued. ‘The information concerning the Indians in Utah is but scanty, It is fearea that they have been tampered with by the Mormons, and that the larger portion of them will probably be found to side with those enemies of our go vernment and laws. The Superintendent of California reports that universal peace prevails among the tribes thronghout the State, and that the progress of the reservations is such as the most sanguine friends of the Indians could wish for. Among other facts he states that the Nome Lackee reservation raised over ten thousand bushels of wheat, and that the work was done by Indians, having ogly two white men as overseers. On the reservations in the southern partof the State the drought has injured the crops. Five reservations have been established—Sebastian or Sejon, Klamath, Nome Lackee, Mendocino and Frescofarm—on which about 11,289 Indians have been colonized A most reprehensible ‘tice bas prevailed to some ox- bo! in California of ki ing = —s oo 4 ren.

[From the Savannah Republican, Dec. 5.) Afriend just from the up country informs us that ata sale of negroes that took place in Warrenton, on Tuesday Inst, young and likely negro men brought from $1,200 to $1,500. A young woman about eightcen years of age brought $1,500. The sale was made ona credit of twelve sete, and the purchases made by parties not interested in the property.

The Commissioner of Pensions bas sent to the Secretary of the Interior a report of the operation of that branch of ‘he department, and the document is transmitted to Con- gress with the President's Message. The Pension report {8 made for the last fiscal year, ending July 1, 1887; and the Bounty Land report is made up to the 30th September, 1857. These reports are accompanied by tables, from which we extract the following statistics:—Whole number of pensioners on tho rolls, 13,186; amount of pensions, $1,136,- 386 60; whole number of original army pension claims admitted during the year, 872; amount of pensions, $64,519 03; old pensions increased, 177; increase, $8,950 48; total amount of arrears of pensions involved in these admissions, $230,501 72. Original navy pensions 75, amounting to $9,404 50; pensions increased, 4; amount of increase, $12: 25; ppareasie amount or yey om Son 30th Jane, 8174046 06, being 863,708 ing agents on june 05 Tose than at the close of the. preceding ‘year, the’ad- vances not being so large tothem. Of the $230,501 72 arrears of army pensions, the sum of $19,568 was al. lowed on account of invalid pensions; $52,162 50 under acts of May 16, 1828, and June 7, 1832, granting pensions to Revolutionary soldiers; $126,- 682 93 under the several acts granting pensions to the widows of the Revolutionary soldiers, and $32,998 20 to the widows and minor children of deceased officers and soldiers who have been pensioned for ser vives subsequent to the Revolutionary war. ‘The rey proceeds to name the various pension acts of March 18, 1818, giving to officers of the Continental arm: and navy $20 per month; others $ under which to 30t! of June $22,320,000 have been paid; of 15th 1828, which was more general, under which $2,601,000 have army, navy or militia, under which $18,090,960 have been id.’ Under the laws granting pensions to widows of volutionary soldiers is $18,302,214. Commissioner alludes to the discontinuance of the practice by which children or other representatives of «le- ceased soldiers or their widows secured the pensions to which the soldiers were entitled. He has made a partial return of the amount paid on this account without warrant oi law, and finds that during one year it was $1,991,454 03. ‘The Commissioner thinks, as all these pensions are exciu- sive of land grante and special rewards by Congress, the republic cannot be with ingratitude to thore who have served it so well. He calls attention to the different rules regarding army and navy pensions. The highest rate pension in the ariny for total disability is $30 per month, in the navy, $60; the low- est in the army, $8; navy, $3: marine corps $350. Widows of’ naval officers receive pensions it their husbands die in the service or line of duty. Widows of army officers only have pensions when their husbands die from wounds or disease incurred in time of war. Ou the other hand, the army pension can be had whether the death occurs in the service or not; while in the navy, it must have occurred in the service. The laws should be altered so as to put both arms of the service upon equal terms. The lower grade of pensions should be increas, and laws should be made to prevent persons who hold salaried federal offices to draw invalid pensions, and ariny ofticers under full pay from drawing any pension. Under the head of “Bounty Lands” the Commissioner gives the following statistics: the 30th September, 1856, the number of bounty land claims on the files, under the act of March 3, 1855, which had been examined and suspended, and were awaiting explanation or additional evidence, aud, therefore, constantly liable to be called up for re- examination, with a view to their admission, or to answer inquiries relating thereto, was........../ 43,740 The uumber then in the office or in the various of- fices where the rolls are kept, and which had never been examined, was..........

When the clerk finished reading the indictment, and asked him, “Do you plead guilty or not guilty?” he re- lied, in a'voice slightly tremulous:—“{ am, guilty; bat would request the court to grant me @ short before passing sentence, to arrange my business gettleo my wordly affairs.’’ The court replied that he should have what time he re~ quired, and then ordered the plea to be recorded, and the prisoner to be remanded for sentence. This plea cause dthe greatest astonishment, alike on the part of the Court, the counsel, and the audience; and, im- deed, it was rather singular that a man should condemm himself to an ignominious death. There was a pause im Court, Stovall had returned to the dock and taken bia seat. He now ed calm and composed, like a mam who has relieved his mind of some weighty and importam® matter. Ho had resigned himslelf to his doom. Tho courts thinking very strangely of his conduct, asked him: ‘Mir. Stovall, are you aware of the full consequences of your plea?—that it condemns you to death?” “Yes, sir, 1 believe I am,’’ he replied. There was @ brief consultation among the lawyers. Some suggested that he could not be in his right mind, and that his plea ought uot toe taken, After a consultation with the At- General and Randell Hunt, the Judge stated be | oa call him up again and give him another opportuml- corded.

I have never before nown 80 extraordinary a plea to be entered in court, and I should like that you would reflect fully upon the consequences of your course. If you desire it, the Cours will not enter the plea yet, and will assign you able coum ‘sel, with whom you may consult.”” Stovall replied that he thanked the Court for its kind- ness, and would accept the offer of counsel for consulta- tion. The Court then ordered a continuance of the case, ordered the clerk not to enter the plea of guilty, and as- signed to Christian Roselius the duty of consulting wit the accused. The circumstances of this murder are still fresh in the recollection of our readers, as it occurred only two weelas since.
