■a; JOHN D-BRSTTOfI, Editor & Proprl^or. " CARLISLE, PA., APRIL 23,1803, VERDICT IS THE HOMICIDE'CiSE. Commonwealth vs. 3tara7iall,Foulk and Fields. This case, after occupying the time of the Court for. nearly three days, was brought to a sudden and most unexpected olo$! on Sat urday afternoon. The throe defendants, af ter a tedious trial, were one. and all acquitted —acquitted on the testimony of Foulk, one of the defendants, who had been found “ not guilty,” and who on his oath, stated that ho, an self-defence, had shot and killed Corporal Barney. The trial was a, most remarka ble one. From the testimony pf a number of witnesses, every one appeared convinced that Marshall alone was the guilty man.— - Throe witnesses swore positively that it was , Marshall who fired the fatal shot—that they. , were close to him whoa he. discharged , tho pistol* that they saw the soldier (Barney.) fall after ho had been shot, &o. Indeed, so positive did the evidence appear against Mar shall; that. Foulk and Fields, tho other de fendants, were - almost forgotten and’lost sight of in tho trial. Such being tho case, and after Marshall’s guilt was considered fully established, 1 his counsel 'suggested to the Court that as there was hot'tho, slightest evidence against Charles H. Foulk, that tho jury be directed to render o verdict of “ not guilty”,asto him. After some argument and, opposition by the counsel for the Common wealth, tho Court directed tho jury to condor a verdict of “ hot guilty,”, which they did without leaving, the bqxi Then followed, the' strange sequel.. Charles 11. Foulk, who had just been declared “ not guilty,” by the Court and the unanimous, voice of the jury, was called to the witness stand. Before proceed ing to'testify, ho asked the Court to inform him. whether anything he might say would •render him liable in law? Being assured by the Court that ho would not be liable ; that, he, had been acquitted, and could not be pro ceeded against for the same offence, ho pro ceeded to detail a history of the whole af fair. , To a bettor understanding of this case we, refer the reader to. the evidence of Foulk as it appears in our report of tho Court pro ceedings. All in all, this was a most inter esting trial, and,had it not been for Eoulk’s testimony, Marshall would have been con victed beyond, a doubt Robbers.— The friends and relatives of the deceased soldiers in this Countyare cautioned 'againstemploying; foreign, agents to collect • their, back .pjvy,. bounty, land pensions, , A number of these;dgept^ WasKing-' tabyNiw .York 'd^dani^efteWW»,--j^%''^od r .ing.'the',Pouht^<^bSnii^feia^n^l ;^it^!a' • setting forf lr the securing snch' claims, ■ All they Win :do at best, is te present the claims; to the Depart ment,and they have no superior facilities for getting thoiu allowed and passed.

In their anxiety to catch the Democrats in. a . trap ..they have placed their names on record in favOr of a bill which will be pointed to all coming time as evidence of the extent,to which the Republican party ■were willing to corrupt tho ballot-box, to so curo a political victory. Perry" County. —Tho Democrats of Perry county met in County Convention at -Bloom idol J, on tho 13th irist., and appointed Henry D. Eooi.r, of Bloomfield, delegate to the Dem ocratic State Gduventioiij instructed as fol lows-: ■ Resolved, That the Delegate to-day selected this County in the State Conven tion,-bo instructed to support the Hon. Heis ter Clynier, for Governor, and to use all hon orable moans to secure liis nomination. Resolved, That we-,recommend the Hon. Jas. II Graham, as a proper candidate for the office of Judge,of. the Supreme Court.— Wo endorse him as a pure anil learned Judge, an honest man and life-long Democrat, ' Gov. Coan nDeci.ines a Be-nomlnation. On the day of the final adjournment of the. Legislature, Gov. CunTiN announced, in a message, to. that hody, that he would not again be a candidate for Governor, and that the President had appointed him to a foreign mission, which would bo accepted by him at the end of his official term—January next.— Old Abe is very considerate to make provis ion for our amiable Governor so far a-l|ead. The Governor is to bo placed on his good be haviour for the next eight months to come, and at the end of that time, if ho has proved himself a good Abolitionist, he is to be pro vided for. This is a regular bargain and sale trans aotion For some months CCrtin has been fefilmg the political pulse, and was enabled to rend the fate that awaited him if ho again attempted to run for Governor, H 0 therefore gels old Abe to help him out of the scrape. Well, well— if Curtin is afraid to risk a run for Governor, wo would like to know who of his party can be induced to accept a nomina tion. Yopr fate is sealed, Messrs. Black* snakes, and CuimN knows it, and.is anxious to bo out of the Abolition ship when it goes down. TOE REPUBLICAN, OR. BtiCKSWKE, PdBTY. Of all the factions, organizations and par ties that have at one time or another risen up in antagonism to the Democratic party, that known as the Administration party of this day has proved itself tho most incompe tent for government, the most potent for mis-, chief and national ruin'. Old Federalism was odious, but its principles wore clearly defined; tho Whig party favored measures inimioial to the welfare of the country, yet it was a patriotic party and not without its virtues; Native Americanism was pros criptive and dangerous, hut there were limi tations to its proscription and danger ; Know Nothingism, though far more perilous to good government, because of its seoreay, its oaths,' its'persecution of all the foreign born, and its religious intolerance, was. still preferable to modern Republicanism, for the extent of its evil tendencies could be measured. Not one of them actually struck at the life of the Union, nor sought the complete overthrow of our system of government. This groat wick edness and unparalleled’ crime has been re served for the Administration party of this day. There is no fathoming the extent of its J-'KOVi, oppressions, usurpations and fanaticisms its lust of power, and its monstrous abuses of it. Notwithstanding this faction has been in power only a little over two years, its lending members have bean guilty to every imagina ble crime. Fraud, perjury, theft, oppression and treason, have marked the party’s slimy path from the hour its obscure President took the oath of office.' It is now, at this very day, ineditating a total overthrow of our Government, that a Despotism may bo, estab lished upon its ruins. Marie it, wo say, ibis is the object of the party in power. To" ac complish this, thejr will use violence if their coward hearts do not fail-theta! Their load- ing journals are constantly hinting at the nebessity that exists for building up “ a strong Government,” and JtM Lane of Kansas, re commends that those who oppose the Admin istration, or write or speak against its usur pations and villainies, bo assassinated, “ shot down,”.to use his own expressive language ; and 11. W. Halleck, the General-in-ehief of the army, has the effrontery and audacity'to outrage decency by using the words follow ing. In a recent letter to Ills political friends in Now York, Gen. 11. makes use of this in famous language: “Onr'armies are.still advancing, and, if sustained by tße voices of the patriotic mill-' ions at homo, they will ere long crush the Rebellion in-the South, and then place their heels upon the heads of sneaking traitors in the North 1" . , • When we-considcr that Gen. llalleck is.a bigoted, blustering, well-fed Abolitionist of the Creepy stripe, we need not.be at ’a loss to know who he means when he speaks of “ sneaking traitors in the North.” He means such men as Gov. Seymour of Now York; Gov. Parker of New Jersey,' and the brave majorities that elected them ;' he' means a . majority of the people of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Oregon ; he moans the Dombcrat ie party. What chaste and refined language, is this to come from a man holding the, posi tion of General-in-chief of the army 1 How politic, too, to, thus wantonly insult a major ity of the people, of the North, just at the time when is holding but?Ks hands for “more men and more money;” and how well, are such coarse, vulgar, villain ous epithets calculated to keep the Democrats in a good humor with tho “ powera-that-bo f” Phis blatant General talks about the army very flippantly. Perhaps, however, when ho attempts to put his .cowardly throat'into,exe cution, the soldiers in the army may conclude that the. only “ sneaking traitors in the North” are tJjo ..Abolitionists. They may feel the soldier's “ heels” in earnest if they continuo.their assaults upon law, the Consti tution and justice much-longer. Gov. Bit ker and Thau Stevens, of this State, not many years ago, attempted to use. not.jmly military “ heels” but “ buckshot and ball” against.the Democratic party; but after they had assembled the military.,'of the State at the Capitol, ready, as they supposed, to do their bidding, the troops took the Democratic side, and Ritn’er, Stevens & Co. were glad to escape with whole bones. Our soldiery aro not the slaves Gen. llalleck considers them, and bo bad better be careful and hot rely upon them, to oxoouto his murderous and villainous threat Another squint at despotism—-another at tonipt to ape loyalty—is shown in a diplo matic letter, written by Mr. Seward, -Score tary- ol State, to LordLvbN, the British Min- ister. For cool egotism and presumption, it exceeds anything that ever appeared in an official note. Seward says : , - 1 My lord, I can-touch a bell on my-right hand and "order tho arrest of- a citizen in ■' Dl do. I can touch the bell again and .order .the-imprisonment of a citizen of N.ew York ; and no power on earth but that of . the Freak dent can release-them. ; Can the Queen of England, in her dominions, do as inuch ?” “ Can the Queen of England do as much ?” asks Seward in triumph. Can she strike a bell and order the arrest of any’ one she' pleases? Can .she, at her pleasure,imprison ft citizen wiihout “ due'process of law ?” No, sbo cannot, and irshe attempted it, ber head might be brought to the block. Just think, then, of the .American Secretary of Slate boasting that ho has, more despotic power than the Queen of England 1 How he gloats over the idea that he can “ touch a bell” and not the tyrant at pleasure I This is despotism—this is the “strong Govern ment" about which Fornev, Grbelt and other traitors and plunderers are advocating;, and this scheme, this conspiracy against the institutions of our country, the democracy must resist to the death; arid if the worst comes to the worst, millions of Democratic “heels” will he made soft in blood before a despotism can be established upon American soil.

On our first page wo publish tho Report of the Committee appointed by the House of I Representatives to, investigate tho alleged attempt at bribery in tho election of United States Senator. . Simon Cameron —tho letfder of tho Republican party in Pennsylvania— late Secretary of War, and still later Minister to Russia—the great Tycoon of niggorism—is found guilty of«ttompting to bribe members of Assembly to v'otofor him for U. S. Senator! This desperately corrupt man—a man who, on more than one occasion has, by the power of money, had himself foisted into high and lucrative positions—this- man,-wo say, has been cough lat last. Dr. Rover, member of the House from Clearfield, who was approach ed by Cameron and his friends, and offered an immense sum of money for his vote, ex posed.tho conspirators, and for this ho is en titled to the thanks of every honest man in the State. But yet the Republican papers have attempted to break, the force of Dr. Rover’s exposure, by heaping upon him tho choicest slang and vituperation. But, all would not'do. ' The Report of the Committee sustains Rover’s statements to the letter, and fiuds Cameron, Brobst, Patterson & Co. guilty of tho charges brought against them , Let it bo remembered, too, that tho Repub lioan members of the House and Senate) (with ono honorable exception, Mr. Laport, of-Bradford,) are just as guilty as, Cameron, or Brodst, or Patterson. They nominated Cameron for Senator, because they believed ho had been successful in bribing, with money, one or two Democratic members of Assembly; Of course Mr. Wilmot would have been the Republican nominee, had not the Republican members boon’ convinced -that’,-die was riot rascal enough to bribe members'to vote for him, but that Cameron was. - And these are the men who talk about their ..“ loyalty.” These are the .men-who belong to “ Loyal Leagues,” and who would have simple mind ed people believe that Abe Lincoln' is “ the Government.” These are .the men who show so . much sensibility and’ nervous feeling at any. propositions that are suggested to bring our National troubles to an end.. They are robbing the people, and are doing it in the name of “ patriotism.” They are becom ing fat by drinking widow’s tears and men’s blood, and'they are ready to resort to any. means, no matter how wicked or how infam- ous, ’ to prolong their hold, Upon the, public, teat. ’ And now. that Cameron's . wicked at tempt, to bribe members of Assembly‘has been exposed, will the Republican papers of tlie State publish the Report and condemn Cameron? Will the “loyalty” of the Re- publican papers of i this county permit them to censure this great outrage ? Wo make le prediction.that there is not a Republican paper in our Commonwealth that will ftvri Cameron in the least-; on the contrary, they Will like him the better and cling to him wi more tenacity than ever. It is a. part of their vocation to cover up anil defend frauds, villainies and bribery— : a part of their busi- ness to brand, every man “ disloyal” who is not'a defender of these Crimes. Tlinhk.Uod -he people have got their eyesibpen,- and are panting for the time.to arrive when they will knock this Cameron party—this .Abolition beast, in the head. The second Tuesday of October next will tell the tale.. Adjourn. a ont ox the Legislature.—ln compliance with the joint resolution adopted some, time ago, the Legislature adjourned sine die on April 15. The Pa triot & Union thus speaks, of the adjourn ment': ■ : ’ The. Legislature adjourned sine die at twelve o’clock yesterday, and most of the members left the city the same afternoon, so that our principal hotels, which have been thronged during the past .winter, now pre sent-somewhat the appearance, of “ banquet halls deserted.” . A commendable, degree of sociality, and. good feeling characterized, the closing hours of the session in the House, and a gonial mood pervaded- tho entire as sembly. The parting redress of Speaker Cessna was truly, eloquent and patriotic.— That portion of it- in which ho alluded to the war and expressed a hope of the ultimate restoration of “the Union as it. was," excited 10 most intense enthusiasm and elicited thunders of applause. A hovel, and inter esting feature of the closing ceremonies .was the singing of the popular song, “When this cruel war is over,” by Messrs. .Korns and Smith, of Philadelphia, which was followed by the “ Star Spangled Banner,” tho entire audience, members and spectators, joining in tho chorus,-and uniting in threo hearty cheers for “ the flag of-our Union” when the song was- concluded. With this patriotic demonstration terminated the session of. the House for 18G3, and many of.ita members have already reached their homes. A short timo prior to tho adjournment of the Senate, the Speaker resigned his position and delivered a brief address on the occasion, at tho close of which an election took place for Speaker with the following result: John P. Penny 19, Hoistor Clynier 13. The new Speaker wna conducted to the chair rind re turned -.thanks for the honor conferred upon him in a few appropriate remarks. After a vote of thanks to .Mr. Lawrence, -the body was declared adjourned without day. Criminal Proceedings Ordered Against Cameron and Others. —After the committee appointed by the; House to investigate the alleged bribery transactions of Simon Came ron -made their report, Mr, Hopkins, of Washington county, at.once offered the fol lowing resolution; “ Resolved, That the Governor be instruct ed to direct the Attorney General to institute criminal proceedings against Simon Cameron. John William Brohsfc, and Henry Thomas.” Before the vote was taken, Mr. Laport (Bepublican,) of Bradford, rose in bis seat and said: “As Simon Cameron lias, as I am in formed, 'constantly assorted since his defeat that but for his failure to obtain my vote he would have been elected, and as that asser tion can only be true, in my opinion, upon the grounds that ho had purchased a Demo cratic rote, I vote aye.” The vote was then taken and the resolution adopted—yeas 49, nays 44. Every Kcpubli ca n except Mr. Laporte voted “ no." So 43 of the 44 Republican members of the House are in favor pf bribery and corruption, and would shield those who have been guilty of these wicked crimes. When they come before their constituents and ask their votes, wo opine they .will find ihat even Republi cans are not all in favor of dishonesty and bribery.

Wo regret to say that the efforts of Admi ral Dupont to reduce and capture Charleston have proved a failure, nnd it is now general ly believed by naval officers, we see it stated, that Charleston cannot bo taken by iron-clad vessels. During, the engagements against the rebel forts and batteries covering that city of treason, nearly all our vessels were more or less injured, nnd two wore entirely lost. The total expenses'of fitting out Dupont’s fleet cost our Government one hundred and fifty millions of dollars. This money would have been well expended had we boon suc- cessful in capturing the city. As it is, it is a sevord los3, not only of money but of many valuable lives. The New York papers of all parties, feel sore ht our defeat, and are very blunt in their comments. We copy from two of them: '■ The Now York Tribune says: “ The causes of this repulse are not far to seek. They may bo summed up in the gen eral'statemout that the iron clads wore of in sufficient strength for the work expected of them. On the whole iron-clad fleet wore mounted,jirst thirty-two guns. In the rebel batteries wero about three hundred. Against this enormous disproportion there could be no hope of success except in. the invulnerability of the armored vessels,, and when that failed, defeat became inevitable.” The Now York Ilcrahl saj-s : V But what is the prospeet ? In every stop taken against the enemy since the battle' of Antietam, wo have had some fresh develop, mont of tliff'ihoOmpoteney of the Administra tion to bring this war to a successful'-.issue. Whore are all our seven, hundred thousand soldiers, when wo have an insufficient'force, m South Carolina, and when wo are in dang er of being driven out of North Carolina by less than fifty thousand of the enqiiiy ?' Can any one tell ? Or, why does .General Hooker, continue stationary,with the finest army oir the planet ? Or why is General Rosecrans compelled to stand rigidly- on the defensive ? '-The .answer .is very simple. Our'repeated and still continuing military blunders, disas ters and failures, are due to the strange in fatuation of President Lincoln in still retain ing in authority a set of military advisors who liuvo ovcr anll over again been “ weighed in the balance and found wanting.” , “The results are an incompetent admin istration, an exhausting war, wasteful expen ditures pf men and means, time and,money, with no compensating results. Nor can we promise anything better short of a reconstruc tion of the .Cabinet, or short of the political, revolution which is sure to come in our next election. The choice is with President Lincoln, ..and upon it depends' a glorious renown, or a lasting disgrace io his administration.” Br,ACKSXiKE3 out op Tn'crit Hoi.ES.-^-Thun- der, lightning and rain'in tho month of April, has effect upon the dormabt reptiles who have passed the winter in holes and caverns, un disturbed, and,’urithoright of..

At Bridgeport Mr. M. was appointed to draw tho bolt, for tho purpose of uncoupling oars when they reached Moohanionburg, to turn 'off tho cars into Bryson’s warehouse. An es tablished signal was to have been given when the bolt was drawn, to give the engineer, AVm. Murray, notice to proceed. Ho gave that signal, and it was alleged that the engineer did not obey it.

Foulk and William Fields.—On the night of the I7th of Marcli.lasVa soldier named John Barney, a member of what is .known as the “permanent party” at the, Carlisle Barracks, was sliot, on East street, from the effects of which ho died on tho'lffth of the same month. Three inen, citizens of nr town, named James A. Marshall, Charles II: Tool!: and Wm. Fields, were arrested on the charge of haying committel the murder, and were committed to jail. Foulk and Fields wore - i-cleaaqd from prison by means of an habeas corpus, giving security in the sum of SlOOO'eaeh for their appearance at Court.’— The evidence elicited, before the Judge on the hearing ,of the Mims 'corpus, pointed idisf tinctly to, .Marshall as the perpetrator of the deed, and- therefore, ho effort was made to’ have him released dn bail. The attorneys of Fields, Messrs. Shearer and-Shapley,- demand ed a separate trial for their client, while those of Marshall and Foulk, Messrs. Fon rose, Miller, Todd and Smith, determined to try the two together. The Commonwealth’s attorney; J. W. D. Oillilen, Esq.,, and A. B. Sharpe, Esq., who had been , employed to assist in the prosecution,', elected to try Mar shall and Foulk -first. The theory adopted by the Commonwealth was that Marshall fifed the'pistol, and Foulk ,and Fields wore .present aiding and abetting ;• That the mur der.was premeditated..and that the ihrep, had been in concert of action. To this end they placed upon the stand a nuniber of witnesses who 'testified to-seeing the three accpapf. to gether during jjhe, evening; and also the fact that they proceeded to the scene-in company. .Catharine Myers testified that she had boon fighting with a nogress, named -Ellen Miller, -and just after the fight Was over, Fields, Mar shall and Foulk came up to her and enquired what was the, matter ? On her telling them; one of-tho number urged’ her to pursue the negress and renew the fight. She according ly started aoross'and up the street, followed by Marshall and Foulk. On .roughing the corner of the pavement at the mouth of'Straw berry'alloy,', she. and Marshall stopped.— While standing , there the .soldier, Barney, who was corporal of the patrol, came running across the street, and commanded a “halt.” at the same time demanded to know what was the matter, She swore that. Marshall ■replied “None of your d—-d business’,” and instantly discharged a pistol at the Corporal, and then fled down tlie alloy, pursued by the Corporal.' Five or six shots wore fired after the two men, entered the .alley. Site swore most positively to. Marshall, firing the ’ shot, stating that she was'not more that four feet from him when ho did it. . The-Commonwealth, however, failed to show the whereabouts of Foulk during tlio affray. , The woman (Myers) did not see him after she left-her own house. None of the .witnesses, except this woman, could oven tes- tify of liis'being in. East street that night, although some of them tcstifictl to seeing, a man of the size and general appearance of Foulk, with Flo]d‘s and Marshall. ■ A soldier named Harris, one of tho -patrol, ■who was on tho opposite, side of tho street, swore.that lie saw the man lire tho shot and that it was Marshall. .Those two witnesses' were the only ones who testified persistently that Marshall discharged the weapon. There was a strong chain .of circumstantial evidence corroborating their testimony. When tho OommonweaUU had .finished their case, and before the case was opened on the part of tho defence, Mr. Miller, one of Marshall’s attorneys, made an application to the Court, stating that as tho Commonwealth had failed to make put a case against Foulk, ho was. entitled to. an immediate 'discharge,' and asked tho Court to sodireot tho jury.— This application was resisted ■ by the Com monwealth ; hut the Gc.urt directed the jury to find, a verdict of “ not guilty” as to Foulk, which they did. Charles 11. Foulk was then called to tlio witness stand, and after being sworn, testified ns follows; Oo the evening that this occurred,'-about half past 7 o’clock, I was at Volmor’s, I staid there some! time. Thompson, Volmer and some other men were there, I don’t recol lect; after seine time-Fields came'in; pre sently Jack. Noble.
