The argument for the defence was continnea by Billings G. Child., Esq., of Pittelargh. He opined by eommisserating the jury upon their arduous and sonfining duties, luting over an entice week, and congratulating himself that the still more, none and equally responsible duties of t counsel in the ease were:eoon to be shifted e Maly upon the shoulder. of th e Jury, to b by them, ea he fi rmly hollered, speedily d termined. The succeeding sen tences of t e more; none attorney, as uttered by him with his perfect elocution, were thril lingly beautiful. We report them in his own words, am follows "T remarked in my open ing, and I new repeat, that I would shudder at the thought of unnecessarily attacking the character of the deceased; and I regret ae keenly as his friends may a neteseity that compels me to be severe in order to be kind —to be cruel that I may be dutiful. In a grave, ever whisk the wealth he left behind him-may some day rear a oostly monument, Jordan Marbourg sleeps—if, indeed, there can be sleep in death for such as he—sleeps the unfortunate victim of his own roving end unhallowed lasts. If on that tomb an in scription is to be written, let it in mercy', name, be shun and simple, —" Hen lies Jordan Marbonrg, born such a da y, lived so long, and inch .day he died. In charity's name, let not $ to atarbie shaft boar the record of his crime,. for they are better written and en less per bauble stuff—the heart: of a God-fearing and* • virtuous community. Nay, morn—they are branded, an with a hot iron, into the very soul of a living man—the prboner at the bar. Whatever your verdict may be, gentlemen, you can do little for that unhappy man. The fountains of earthly happiness t- him are dried' up, Its flowed' withered, its sun . ' daskenedfforerer. Hereafter as he walks up - end down the avenues of life in solitude, even when In crowds, he can but • 'Teel like one who treads aloes &the banquet hall deserted, • Whose lights are tied, whose garlands dead. And aliment him departed." Nay, gentlemen, you may not give joy to the joyless, or hope to the Itopeleas—yoe may, however, spare dim the ignomy of a felon's death. He then turned his attention toe discussion of the plea of insanity, directing his argu mentbs reply to the counsel who opened the case ler the Commonwealth, Gen. Potts. This he handled with marked ability and rare elo quence, eiesing in about an boar, with a feel ing appeal to the jury to return inch a verdict as in their after years they would not blush to refer to. They could not restore the prisoner Hs lost joys and domestie happiness, but they could restore him to liberty. . • Mr. Childs was followed by Hon. John Scott of Huntingdon. He commenced in a trembling voice, which at once seized the at tention of the jury, by saying that be owed no apology for appearing before them in-be half of the prisoner at the bar, who vim no hardened criminal, but a per.. and upright man, like each of them. The indictment said Joseph Moore, being of sate mind and "not having the fear of God before his eye', and being instigated by the devil" had killed Jordan Marbourg. Of this charge the jury, as they should answer to God at the Great day, had sworn to make a true deliverance. Was the charge in the indictment atrietly true? Was Joseph Moore of cane mind 7 Did he do it with malice, without the fear of God, being instigated by the devil 1 Wee it so , He then proceeded to argue the Question, and read Deist 11, Ist to 14th—not as the New England organization that adopted the lair cf God until they could make a better, borbe. cuss it wee the Maio of ell law and justice. On the question of the difference between courts end juries in cases of this nature, the eloquent speaker made one of hit most thrill ing passage*, in these words—" What: If a man strike me in the fare, and I kill him, it is manslaughter, and I no, not hanged ! If a man strike me in a tenderer spot—in the heart—and I kill him, it ie murder, and I am hanged: What: eeduce rey wiA—lay with her—and I dare not terieh her seducer, but SUVA lire with her—on the same earth with her end him " Further he said—"ln the time of Charles 11, to the dark alleys around Dm. ey Lane Theatre there might hare been seen a beautiful prostitute, who, in addition to selling bee oranges sold also her commis of person. She we. transferred from the alloy outside to the boards inede the theatre, where ' her beauty attracted the attention of the King. She was purchased for a price by • nobleman, and by him sold again for a price to the dissolute King, and lieed with her in 74 7 1 :i adultery,o n' nu. ,t he rn a d h t o It ' r e e ' e s " tre'thmr'i„utur'estsh that f the King, made the ministers, the courts and the judgee who made the law bearing upon the ease. this is the history of this lair, which has never had a response in the jar, box." Following this ep, the 'Tanker made a most eloquent end telling plea in favor of the prisoner—the poor, honest, deserted eneehartio, hnsband sod father, against the wealthy merchant—the lecherous adulterer and invader of domestic hatpin... The speaker next -adverted to the fact that nobody attempted to interfere with Moore, \ arguing that this fact showedthet the people et the community who knew most of the eir theasethess redognited the justness of the vengeance. The argument which followed, and which we regret - we cannot sketch, was most eloquent and able. He did not weh the Buy to disregard the law, ea given them by the Court. It might be worse - for his poor thent—they could only convict of murder or acquit. They might take it home to them selves, and consider what a man would not give for hid own life. Would they hang him by the nook until he wan dead for the prompt avengeence of hie wrong. as felt through the dishonor of the wife of his bosom? And here again the speaker was most afro:tingly eloquent and impressive. He took up the evidence, and proceeded to review it se bearing upon the question of the prisoner's insanity. It was the proudest re cord that any man could bring into the court, room, that for twenty years the prisoner wee a professor of nelgion without a single blot. He had withstood the seductions and vices of the eamp for nine mouths', and came home se he refit—the came devoted and eonsistent Christian. And yet, no sooner is this imputa tion east upon his wife's honor, and he hears the story of the first person he asks on the subject, than he checks himself in the utter ance of an oath in his rage—a violation of his Christian profession he had never before been known to be guilty of. After a careful and thorough trivestigation of the eiroumstances of kb wife's alleged criminality, end he found them true to his satisfaction ho determines to separate-from his wife, an d the spirit of ill devoted Christian, we find him throwing himself upon the support of his Heavenly Father, whom be had Implicitly trusted for twenty years, end feeling that had a rebel ballet pierced his breast and laid him dead end still when so many of his friends and patepanlons—the gallant sons of Cambria— no. *leap, upon the banks of the Rapplun nook, it would have been a merciful provi dence. The speaker then alluded to the in beirolew between Joseph Moore and Mrs. Mar bourg--ieene,he fancied, which neither poet's pen nor painter's brush had ever portrayed— . the Ightbitl Cluistlan woman white praying for the life of her truant husband, saying— /qtr.

After dinner, the eloeing .argument in the ease was commenced by Mr. Kopelia, on the •-jjlib of the Commonwealtti: He opened by reciting the Lord's Prayer In most aoletrue and subduing accents. Thus apake as never man spate. Take it with you to the jury-box. On the L'lth day of Palmsary, Joseph Hoc, took the life of Jordan Harbours. fie did tot seek the life of the prisoner--Gci forbid. He did not seek the life of any human being —he sought by latt efforts here to prevent the taking of life, and he felt that he could do this poor man, the prisoner at the bar, 0n poster kindness than by calling but to life again his friend, Jordan Marbourg. But he could not do it—Joseph, Moore bed fixed hie fate irretrievably. Josenh More lived— Jordan Marhourg erm dead: the tab,' 9..- tion for the jury to determine was—Sid Jo. eeph Moore kW him! This they must an swer, yell Or no. Be wet the representative of the Marbourg family. Of this he had no reason to be ashamed, for there was no more virtuous or Christian women in the land than the now widowed and distressed woman, Mrs. Marbourg, and there were no bettor or more intelligent children to the country than the nine orphaned children of hire. Marbourg, made to by Joseph Moore. He would nut add n single pang to the remorse suffered by theprisoner einem the commission of the deed, boil tie duty to the dead and the living would compel him to speak plainly of the deed committed by the defendant. He then Introduced the murder of Abel by' Cain—the first child born into the world— I and instituted a parallel between that first murder and that of Jordan Marbourg. The curse of God was pronounced against Cain, I but in his mercy be did not kill him, but; placed a mark upon his brow. That mark has rested and rests upon every murderer in the land, and unfortunately it now rests upon the prisoner at-the bar. He quoted from thp 9th ehapter of Genesis ' to establish th e or ganic law governing intheCl.lo, and discussed this position at some length, combatting with ability the points made by the other side of juetification because of the alleged adultery, I upon the principal that one wrong does not I justify another—two wrongs doe. not make a right. He quoted copiously from the scrip.; tares, In support of his positions. Joseph Moore had claimed that god would justify his act, and then prayed the same God to forgive him for doing it! Could he respect the Lord's Prayer, and say—" Forgive me my trespass. as I forgave him who trespassed against me!" Could he consign his brother man to eternal darkness, or deny him a seat among the glo- ; rifled in 'leaven while he sought to reach that haven himself! The doctrine of Christianity was—"lf a man smite thee on the right cheek turn to him the other also." It was written of eld, hate thine enemy; bat the Savior said , you must lore thine enemy, and the weaker road the Scripture in which this doctrine was enunciated, claiming that such was the tree' sentiment. That which justified the contrary was false and perverted. So much far the claim of justification. It amounts to nothing. The simple question for the jury still 1., did Joseph Moore kill the deceased. Finding this, your duty is to return • verdict according to the law, as the Court will explain It to you. The only remaining question in favor of, the prisoner—and wiles I say in favor of the prisoner, I would wipe the blood from his soul as gladly as a tear from my eye for ho, as Jordan Marbourg wee, is my personal friend, and I appear against him here with great pain, and only in obedience to a public duty—was the plea of insanity. Was the jury prepared to say, on their solemn oaths, as they would say by an acquittal on the grounds of insanity, that Joseph Moore was insane at the time he shot down Jordan Mar-' Bourg! Were they prepared to say that? Ho then , reviewed the conduct of Moore in tracing up the story about hie wife's infidellty, contending that in all its progress and stages he acted precisely as a sane and sensible man would do—as any member of the jury would do. There was nothing in his character or his sets to establish the plea of insanity.' Ile was In a passion, but passion was not in sanity. If men can be acquitted in the proud cities upon these thin, gossamer plea. of in sanity, It was meet that here, on the summit of the 11101113t1111., such pleas, It was the duty of the jsry to say, should not prevail. Thus far and no further shalt thw go nn • nipped of justice in Cambria county. The fate of JOT den Marbourg was fixed by the socialite of Sickles, the influence of an seqaittal would he the excuse for other like violations of law. He implored the jury to so find as not to giv• excuse to jealous hotheads and truant wires' to lay the traps for other victims. In conclusion, he believed a groat wrong had been committed against Jordan Har bours. As he tired, he did not believe Jordan kfarbourg bad seduced Mrs. Moore. What reds,cs a married seaman of thirty-Bra years It was never done! The story was absurd, and a fabrication. Men ale often the riotous of designing women. Aterbours was an open-hearted, generous man. IC he met Mn. Moore in an oyster ealuon, sod paid the bin, it was but as exhibition of his characteristic liberality. And should be, upon this and like flimsy erideace, and the busy rumors of a babbling publio and green eyed spies, now that bin lips Sr. sealed in death, consign his name to eternal infamy and justify the act of the prisoner at the her . Il• hoped not. Be now shifted the resppnel• bility of the issue upon the jury; h• bad done his duty as his strength would permit; he :bad nothing more to easy, and took his teat stslio'oloek. The Judge after a few minute, eonenitation, announced that he would not charge the Jury until morning, and adjourned the Court until EN o'clock to-morrow. A Forger Arrested Samuel M. Brown, wbo was connected with Edward Eokor in the forgery on the Allegheny Saying/ Bank some months, since, pas arrest• ed in Cleveland, on Tuesday, by John B. Frazee, City Marshal. Since the discovery of the forgery, Brown has been dividing his time between Columbus and Cleveland. While In Columbus he represented himself to be a discharged soldier from the 1331 Penn sylvania Regiment, (Colonel Clark's,) and through false representations succeeded In having hlmaelf attached to the Commissary Department of the camp at that plaice. Be paid a visit to. Cleveland on Monday, and during the day was arrested for noting diner thinly in the streets, and taken to the lock op, where he was recognized by Marshal Primes from a photographic likeness of him which had been sent to Cleveland by Mayor Alex ander. The authorities at Cleveland tele graphed to the Mayor the fact of his arrest, and High Constable WM visited that city on Wednesday, and returned with the prisoner yesterday. We understaed that Brown pleads guilty to the charge, but endeavors to throw the respon sibility of the forgery upon Bakor. He was committed to jailyesterday for bearing on Thursday week.

The Veteran Regiments which hare reeentig passed throogh this city, on their way to their tiltierent tomes to enjoy the furloughs to which they are en•ttled on rwanlieting, hare no• commit:eyed returning to rejoin their comrade: In the field, with their racks tiled up, end the teen in Ewe rpirits, and eager for the final conflict which they a!! feel will collie eery coon. No lees than throe of these regiments pass ed through bare 7 esterday, the 39th Illinois and the 28th and 75th Penn., and a number of others are on the road. The 39th Illinois, under the command of Col. Thomas Osborne, formerly belonged to Ceo. Gilmore's army, and hare participated in all of the operations before Charleston. They are en route ta:Wash ington, and we infer from that fact, that they are to join the Army of the Potomac. The 29th Penna., Col. W. A. Itiekvds. and the 75th POOP Col. Smalley, belong to the 2d division, 12th army corps, In the Army of the Cumberland. These men ware ►ll provided for by the Subsistence Committee promptly on their ar ries', and seemed much pleased with the way they weie treated. In this oonnection we wish to put In • word for that little association of-young ladies and gentlemen, who have for so lung • time been punning their labor of love in pro viding for our gallant soldiers, and whose quiet and unostentatious labors, by day and night, for the last three yean, have given our oity a reputation for patriotism, generosity and benevolence, second to no city In the Union. We refer to that Acme imoituniels, the Pittsburgh Subsistenee Committee, and we hope that while our elanns are laboring for and contributing liberally, as they are sure to do, to make the Sanitary Fair equal to any given in the country, they will not overlook the claims of this Committee, in which every Pittaburghor ought to take pride, to their en couragement and support.
