TUESDAY, JANUARY 29. 1861,
The United States Navy.
The London Times 'of the 11th instant de- ,
votes over a column to p notice of the Report
from our Secretary of the Navy, presented to
Congress at the opening of the session. It
expresses especial surprise at the bold, out
, spoken manner in which additional expendi
ture is advocated, and significantly remarks :
"Oar own Admiralty never speaks with half
the boldness of the American Navy Depart
ment." The recommendation on the part of
the Government, of" a gradual, substantial,
and permanent increase of the Navy, accom
panied by the universal introduction into it of
the motive power of steam," especially asto
nishes The Times, simply because, as is frank
ly confessed, such a recommendation, by
English officials, would create a general out
cry. John Bull, though ho disburses a na
tional Revenue greater than any other in the
world, has what Lord Castlereagh termed a an
ignorance of taxation," and grumbios, as well '
he may, at annual disbursement for army,
navy, and ordnance, of close upon $150,000,-
000. But, quoth The Times, if Brother Jona
than does not spend as much money as John
Bull, he is in a fair way to do so ; for a any
man in the kingdom with a reading-room at
his service may very soon convince himself
that if the American people at present owe less
and spend loss than we do, it is only because,
as a people, they aro a great deal younger,
and that if they go on at their present rate
they will soon overtake their mother country."
, The Tomes' principal ground for surprise, on
the Report in question, is that "though it is
framed in a spirit of liberality and progress,
thmigli it advocates the augmentation of the
Navy both in efficiency and strength, and
though it &tarp into all the details connected
with that object, it nevertheless passes abso.
lately without notice the one question which
has absorbed for months past the thoughts of
the maritime Powers of Europe. There is not
a syllable to be found in this document from
beginning to end respecting the invention o)
iron-eased ships. For all that the Report doni
trans, we might never knoW that such a theory
had been propounded.".
The Report, it is alleged, is far behind the
age, for the Secretary's "whole argument
turns, as we have seen, on the necessity of
keeping abreast of other nations in naval im-'
provoments, and yet he bestows not a single
word on the greatest question of all. On the
contrary, ho quietly takes up the ground which
France and England appear about to quit, and
contents himself with recommendations of the
character in vogue six or eight years ago.
The Commissioners have ativiaed--and he
concurs in the opinion—that steam power
should be introduced into the old wooden.sail.
ing vessels, and that ships-of-the-line should be
cut down into frigates. There he stops, and,
after all his energetic preamble, appears to
conclude that when the American Government
has done this it will have done enough for. the
present."
That is, here we cling to the antiquated idea
of a wooden walls "—whereas France and
England have introduced the novelty, of
rr ironsides." The iron-cased steam frigate
La Gloire was a great invention of the French
marine, which England instantly adopted, as
was shown by the , recent launch of the War
rior—the largest man-of-war over built, her
tonnage being over 0,000 tons, and her whole
weight, when hei engines and her 'armament
are complete;being 9,000 tone. Tho Warrior
Is actually 1,600 tons larger than the largest
saopt lo toe - world, after the Great' Laster,,,
nod it lA. Di:allied for her that, with, her im.
manse force, groat cocci Of - in:wow:Moos, ooa.
armor-clad sides, she is, in a manner, irro.
sisilblo.
The Times complains that a the Americans—
the Moat enterptising and scheming of naval
architeets- , -oVerlook the subject. altogether,
and without even such notice as would show
that they had ever taken it into considera
tion ;" and,proceeds to say : alt cannot pro
ceed from want of infbrmation, for, though
the Commissioners went to work before the
launch of the Gloire, the Report itself is dated
on the Ist of December, so that the Americans
must be well "posted up" in the controversy.
It cannot be that they aro indisposed to fresh
expenditure, for the-report flings economy to
the winds. It cannot be that they are averse
to experiments, for never wore people so
given to newfangled 'schemes, especially in
naval matters. Almost all fresh models of
marine architecture have issued from Ameri
can Navy-yards, and it is not so very longings
that they were quietly at work on a great steam
ram, and proposing a species of submarine
cruiser, to run tinder water. In short, if we
could presume to suspect them of any reluc
tance to cc go ahead," either in this or any
other matter, they would be fairly entitled to
resent the imputation as perfectly unwarrant
able. Then, what are we to think 1 France,
England, Russia, have come into the new sys
tem, but the United States hold out. Are the
Americans right, while we aro all wrong I"
It is a curious fact that the United States,
a great mercantile nation, with fleets in which
white-winged Commerce is borne across all
seas to the shores of all maritime countries,
should be charged with being behind the ago.
Yet, there is a good prima facie case. The
Times concludes thus
o We shenld be truly glad to learn what eonolu.
pion the Americans have formed on this business.
They are high authorities, and the question is a
mostimportant one. We cannot even yet profess
to See our way clearly, and we should bo glad of
any clue to the truth. It has boon ascertained, no
doubt---or, at any rate, inferred with a high '
degree of probability—that iron-cased frigates will
not do for long cruises, distant expeditions, or
stormy Ms bfit it has been 41so shown that for
the Immediate work of a naval engagement their
powers will be BO formidable as to crash those of
any old-fashioned opponents. British sailors have
distinctly recorded their opinions that, whether the
Glosre is seaworthy or not she undoubtedly would
in close :mitten be as superior to a wooden vessel as
a modern rifle is to an old musket, and would blow
any two-decker of the Old eohool into luoifer
matches.' This is net a French view of the case,
but an English ono. Those very converted'
line-of-battle ships on whioh the Americans are
going to spend £BO,OOO apiece will, aooording to
the new theory, be next to useless in elm eotton
when they are completed, and, even if they may
serve on the high seas, it is by no means impossi
ble that iron•cased vessels may be so far im
played as to be capable of meeting them there.
How, then, can our trans-Atlantis kinsmen, with
their energy, their wealth, their spirit, and their
dash, content themselves, after deolding that their
navy should bo carefully strengthened, with leaving
it in a position of suoh probable weakness? They
may, Indeed, be waiting for the benefit of our ex
periments, but. it is not like them to do so. Wo
are foreed, in foot, to imagine that they do not be
lieve in the invention, and we know, indeed, that
they tried it In its first infamy, a good many years
ago. Such a conclusion we certainly cannot reoon
oils with the results of our own experiments; but
neither, on the other hand, can we persuade our
selves to dismiss it without commending it to the
attention of the publio.”
It is more than probable that, and without
much further delay, if wo intend having a na
tional and naval force worthy of our power
and pretensions, we shall have to follow suit,
and build iron-cased vessels, as France and
England have done, and aro doing. Before the 1
end of this year, France will have eight and
Bpgland sfx such vessels. How many aro we
to depends, of course, upon the state of
MUCL. It will coat no trifle to provide
our Treasur". vessels like Napoleon's

Commerinal Relations Abroad.
, The English : manufactuters and merchants
are fully aware of the peculiar manner in
Which they may be affected by the drain of
gold to thih country, and by the diminution of
American trade with them. How the English
ticantifacturers are to carry on, paying 7 per
cent. for the use of money, while investments .
in Consols bring in only from 3 to 81. per
cent., is a mystery which a little time may
Make clear. Add to this increasing stocks, if
they go on manufacturing, with ruin to millions
Of working people, if they stop their mills, and
a diminished demand for goods, from this
country, and a pretty considerable embarrass-
Ment of British trade seems looming in the
distance. The Times says:
In proportion as one market falls off, it is
Usually found that we contrive to penetrate to
others; next, it would be against all that we know
of the American people to suppose that under any
degree of politioal excitement they will bo
even for a period so long.as a few consecutive
months, to forego their regular use of the comforts
of life, and especially of good °lett:king ; and,
lastly we must notice that the panic has curtailed
the operations of American manufactories, and
that to that extent the fiold will be so. much more
linen to us for the future, not only to furnish Ame
rica with supplies, but also those foreign ports in
whieh the New England productions compete with
. our own. Hone°, on no ground can the existing
,state of the Loudon money market be viewed as a
'sign of hard times 'lTrue, so far as the badness of
our harvest is concerned, the denote:my in that re
spect is an actual loss te , r the maids, ;. but this loss
could well be borne amid the .extraordinary pros•
parity of, all our other branches of production. It
has necessitated the impartation of wheat and flour
from America to the value of £6,000,000 or
47,p00,000, and • would probably have prevented
moo) , falling to any low rate throughout the

place in the affair."
There seems a very sangliine begging of the
question in the above.' The American people
catilhave " the comforts of life,"-and w good
clothing," without importing to , the value of
one dollar from England : nqr is the time far
distant, we hope, when we shall be wisely self
producing, as well as firmly selitreliant.
Again, it is sheer folly to argue that the
disbursement of thirty to•thfrtydlvo millions.
of dollars, by England, to paylcir - Wheat and
flour from America, must 4 ,4qckupi a very
anbordinate place in the affair.:": Thirty to
thirty-five millions of dollars paid•te the West
will be productive of- great benefit there, and,
in proportion, England must suffer a disadvan
tage. Our purchases of iron• in the English
markets have nearly ceased of late. Thd
re
salt te, that at the Iroinnasteis' quarterly meet
hig, at Wolverhampton, on the 11th inst., it
atipeared thatthe American houses wore doing
next to nothing, and, the report adds,, cc It
was a general observation floating about the
meeting to-day that iron might be bought, at
any price." A continuance of this would
soon place the iron trade on the same shell
with - the cotton and woolen. In Franco,
which used to supply rdi so largly with silk,
china; and fancy articles, the greatly reduced
amount of our orders during the present win
ter has caused much distress. Over importa
tion, which caused so much mischief in 1857,
cannot be charged against us now. The com
mission houses can bear testimony to the
truth of this.
T-ho result will be, we hope and believe,
that whoever suffers, we shall safely ride
through the storm.
Public Sentiment in Maryland.
[Correepondonoe of The Press.]
HEAD OF SASSAFRAS, Kent co., Md., }
January 18, 1861.
Enrros. Thinking that The Press and
its army of readers would not object to hear
- -
Leg something from this quakter, I have con
cluded to enlighten them somewhat as to the
sentiment which is mostfelt among us at the
present national crisis.
In this neighborhood we are almost univer
sally in favor of the Union, with the exception
of some rabid Breckinridge Democrats, and an
earnest desire is expressed that the Crittenden
~ 48° 9 - 1 11" ° vet ho adopted by Congress
a.-1--moment of the
and the States as a
slavery question. With tie exception
'Owe named, we strongly approve the de
tertnination of Gov. Hicks not to call the Le
gislature in extra session, fearing, if it should
be called, to be precipitated into a revolution.
The greatest uneasiness is felt at the present
attitude of affairs. Business is, in a manintr,
relinquished, and no efforts are made, as is
usual at this season, to carry on with vigor
the farming operations for the coming year.
Gentlemen consult together with heavy and
desponding hearts; our wives and children
filled with a vague alarm of coming evil; all
aro depressed, all are dispirited.
As if to make matters worse, the terrible
intelligence comes to us that the Crittenden
resolutions have been defeated in the Senate;
that the Republicans - are determined to con
cede nothing, and stand by their odious Chi
cago platform.
The consequence of this condition of things
can he seen already in the minds and appear
ances of our citizens; all parties aro beginning
to change from strong Union mon into Se
cessionists; there is no excitement, but a deep
and growing feeling that we will have to fight
it out to the bitter end. Military companies
aro rapidly forming, and private citizens
arming themsclvds for the coming battle.
Tho attitude of those who, during the past
few weeks, have stubbornly opposed all con
ciliatory measures, has done much to paralyze
the efforts of the Union men of the South.
Take this neighborhood, for instance. Gov.
Hicks is almost universally sustained, South
Carolina condemned, and a strong determina
tion to stand by the Constitution and the en
forcement of the laws. I was myself a strong
and ardent supporter of Mr. Douglas, and
voted for him, and am a slaveholder, also ;
and yet I am becoming gradually convinced
that the Republicans mean to give us no
quarter; and that the enforcement of the laws
means coercing the entire South. Such a policy
will unite us to defend the South till there
shall not he left a corporal's guard in the
State. The idea entertained in the North,
that 'Henry Winter Davis represents the senti
ments of any considerable portion of the peo
ple of Mitryland, is ridiculous ; Horace Greeley
must be thinking Davis does represent us
rightly or lie would not propose to unite us to
the North in the event of a dissolution, and to
buying out our slaves and make this l a free
State. There is not money enough in all
North America and England to buy us out
and depend upon it, if Maryland is ever joined
to a Northern Confederacy, every mother's
son of us will have to be exterminated, and the
old soil ropeoplod with the cohorts of the
North.
The feeling here in favor of slavery is not
confined to slaveholders ; the men who daily
earn their broad by the sweat of their brow
have a holy horror and disgust of being placed
on a level with free negroes, and are more de
termined in their resistance to Northern ag
gression than the slave-owners. In a neighbor
hood of twenty miles square, there are not
forty slaveholders, end yet, since it has be
come known that the Senate has defeated the
Crittenden amendments, a stern feeling is now
demonstrated to trust the matter to the God of
battles.
In conclusion, lot mo appeal to you as an
influential citizen of Pennsylvania, and as
wielding the most powerful press in the State,
to continuo in the good work of advocating
conciliation, and the repeal of the personal
liberty bills and the adoption of the amend
ments of Mr. Crittenden, that we may reunite
our divided Confederacy, and live together
forever in peace. W. C. P. •
Letter from Missouri.
Worreaoondonee of The Prose.]
Ifiznia, Miller county, Mo., Jan. 14, 1861.
In a recent number of your paper, you invi
ted communications from the people on the
subject of the impending crisis, and very
kindly and patriotically offered to such com
munications a place in the columns of The
Press. For myself, as ono of the people, I
thank you for your liberal oiler, of which I
propose now to avail myself.
You, who live near the seat of Government,
and have daily and hourly communication
with Washington, and by which means you
are kept constantly advised of the doings of
the traitorous crow who hold the reins of
Government, see, and realize to its fullest ex
tent, the danger that menaces our noble insti
tutions, You can comprehend the difficulties,
the absolute impossibility of gathering up
t tY 2, fra crients of this glorious Union and re
cOnfitructing another Government, that will
glue to the peop : of this land, and those who
would fly from tyrani7; in other lands, that
perfect security in p er sog and property, and
that entire freedom from restraint in matters
of conscience, which they have heretofore,
and do now, enjoy under our present Consti
tution—a security and freedom which was
purchased by our foretathers,,at an immense
cost of blood and treasure, and which the pcm
ple who received it to enjoy as au inherltance
insusceptible of valuation, will yield only
,after an expenditure of more blood Mid tree
sure than has attended any civil war since the
world began.
I say you see and comprehend our danger,
and are necessarily alarmed, while millions of
people, living remote from the seat of Go
vernment, where they are deprived of the
privileges and the facilities which you enjoy,
of being made acquainted with what is pass
ing, move.quietly on in their accustomed em
ploynients, all unconscious of the dangers
that threaten them, and are neither actors nor
spectators of the tragedy that is being enacted.
They are quiet as yet, for the simple reason
that they have not yet seen the necessity for
making themselves heard. The traitors may
mistake this silence for a quiet adquiescenco
in their acts; but, sir, when the boom of the
first cannon that inaugurates, a civil, war is
heard by these millions of quiet tillers of the
soil; they will inquire, to What's that I" and,
when made 'to understand its meaning, the
doom of-the traitors will be pronounced.
It is, all folly, as will be shown when the
necessity arises, to discuss with such men as
these, the abstract questions of State rights,
of State sovereignties, of compacts between
the States, the rights of secession, &c.
They only.know—and wish to know no more—
that the Government of the American Union,
under its present incomparable Constitution,
was constructed by the people, for the peo
ple; not as communities, nor as.people di
vided into States by geographical lines, but
as, one compact, undivided people, forming
one. undivided.and indivisible nation; and by
the 'people thus grouped. will be maintained
the GOverfinient and Constitution of their
choice—the object, save one, of their fluff and
strongest love—or die in the attempt.
- lam a native of Pennsylvania, but now

but echo the sentiments of every man, no mat
ter of what political party, that I have met. I
have no fearsifor Missour4 her people are, as I
thinly believe, loyal to the Constitution; and

if 'bekin it must, look

inarching . proudly-and defiantly beneath the
tc bread stripes and bright stars" to aid her
loyal brothers of the other States to teach
traitors a lesson in political science, such as
they have neyer yet learned.
I have said what I believe the people will
do in the event of a failure of the efforts now
being made by the friends of the Union to ac
commodate .matters between the North and
the South, and the issue being joined of "the
°Union as it is, or disruption. They do not
seek a fight, but are willing a settlement should
be made upon equitable terms. If this cannot
be effected, then they will gather around the
Constitution, and with their lives defend it
against any and every foe.
Letter from Mr. John Campbell.
(For The Press.'
PrIMADELPHIA, January 28, 1861.
Mx. Bruton: In consequence of a letter
having Appeared tu your paper of this date,
copied from the Harrisburg Union and Patriot,
to which is appended my name, I deem it to
be a duty that I owe to myself to state that I
signed the call without having seen it. Had
I seen it before it was sent to Mr. Welsh, I
should have taken exceptions to two portions
of the first paragraph. Those two exceptions
are : First, "The constitutional organization of
the groat State of Pennsylvania is most unhap
pily in the temporary possession of a minori
ty," and, second, cc to concede to the South
her constitutional demands." Now, as to the
first, I deny that the State is in the possession
of cc a minority." cc It is, unhappily, ' the con
trary, but whether "temporary" or not, time
hlone can determine. However, I will not
now argue . that point. Now we are called
upon to denounce the Republican organiza
tion. To any such condemnation I will echo
icamen." But let .us go to the legitimate
source of the crisis. Let us see if the Secea
Mon traitors want any concessions, or will
listen to any remonstrance from the Demo
cratic party of Pennsylvania. When the De
mocratic Convention met last year in Charles
ton, did the traitors desire the success of the
Democratic ticket ? On the contrary, did they
not try to break up and disorganize the Demo
cratic pally I This cannot be denied. These
traitors knew that the Democratic party was,
and had been, the oonstithtional party of
the Republic; they knew that it stood as
a wall of fire between themselves and the
Abolitionists of the Free States; hence
they did not desire the suecess of the De
mocracy; hence their persistent and labo
rious efforts to break up the llemocratio party
as the prelude to Mr. Yancey's treasonable
design, as evinced by his Slaughter letter, cc TO
PRECIPITATE TEE COTTON STATES
TO REVOLUTION." Not succeeding to

Charleston, they adjourned to Banunoso, and,
alas I too successfully accomplished their ne.
farious purposes. It is a mistake to suppose
that the cause of the crisis rests entirely with
the Republicans. lam free to censure and to
blame them for their anti-slavery plank in
their National platform, but the election of
Lincoln was only a pretext for the traitors to
urge on the disunion movement. Nor is it to
be denied that Northern doughfacos and dirt
eaters played jackals to these fellows in their
disorganization movement. Concessions to
traitors with arms in their hands, firing upon
our national vessels—concessions to robbers
who plunder our national property—conces
sions to vagabondswho have filled their pock
ets out of national plunder; if there be con
cessions let them be honorable ones—let it be

Johnson, of Tennessee, of Senators Douglas,
Crittenden, and Cameron; of Clemens, of

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 28, 1861.
Lord Palmerston and the American
Ditriculty.
[From the Toronto Leader,]
In the course of a speech, delivered at South
ampton, Lord Palmerston referred to the diffi
culties between the Northern and Southern !motions
of the United States, and expressed a fear that the
Union would be dissolved. His Lordship added a
hope that, whether the Union was dissolved or
maintained, amicable relations would be esta
blished; and that there would be no war between
brothers. From the curtness of the telegraphic
phraseology, it is not possible to say whether Lord
Palmerston intended to refer to the relations of
England with the American Confederations, or
only to the relations between the two Confedera
cies into which the United States are rapidly form
ing themselves. Be this as it may, the intention
of England to acknowledge the independence of
the new Southern Confederaoy as soon as it is
formed, no longer admits of question. This an
nouncement we are in a position to make in the
most positive terms; and, whoever will take the
trouble to watch the course of events, will find
that we are correct. The policy of England has
long been to acknowledge all do facto Govern
ments; and that policy will not be departed from
in the present ease.
From Frame a similar procedure may safely be
expected; and as soon as the Southern Confedera
tion has formed a provisional Government it will
be treated by the two leading Powers of Europe as
entitled to all the privileges of a sovereign b tato.
The greatest inconvenience would arise from the
adoption of any other policy. England having no
control over the domestic polities of other nations,
can acknowledge whatever form of government
they please to set up. To refuse to do do, would
involve her in endless wars and ruinous oommer
olal embarrassments.
If the opinions of an English statesman aro, in
this instance, destined to produce an influence
over the destinies of the United States, their ten
dery will be to prevent civil war between the
two sootions. A war between brothers, such as
Lord Palmerston here deprecates, is the bitterest
of all wars ; it would sow the seeds of animosity
which would bear bitter fruit for generations to
come. The wise and statesman-like policy was
first to attempt a reconciliation ; but, if all efforts
in this direction are to be held to fail, coercion or
civil war ought not to be thought of. The North
is numerically stronger and perhaps wealthier than
the South; and there is little reason to doubt that
it could make a conquest of the seceding section.
But that it could not hold the Southern as con
quered States is just as certain. Secession may
not be a constitutional right; but, practically, if
nearly half the States of the Union insist upon
It, there are no means of preventing its consum
mation.

TWO. CENTS.
The Niueteenth-ward Homicide
STARTLING TRSTIROXY
Yesterday disclosed a startling phase in this
case. Mr. Bull was to have resumed his remarks,
which had been interrupted by the adjournment. on
Saturday.
The court-room was crowded, and hundreds left
without being able to effeet an entrance. A rumor
prevailed during' the morning that - another and
very important witness had - been found on behalf
of the uommonwealth, and spreading, brought an
immense crowd, which collected around the doors
of the court-room an hour before they were opened.
The jam was terrible, and the officers of the court,
with the jurors, had considerable difficulty in open
ing a passage into the :building. After the court
room was filled, the crowd continued to press
eround the doors, and the frequent laugh raised at
the unsuoceesful attempt of some one to force by
the °lnoue, grated harshly on the ears of those who
recognized the proprieties of the time and place.
But through all this noise and confusion the
prisoner was calm and solf-possessed, and it would
be difficult for any one to detest any difference in
his manner yesterday from that presented by hini
on the day of hie arrest.
When the court opened, Mr. Mann stated that
from information received on Sunday evening, he
was induced to go into the Nineteenth ward and
visit the spot of the murder, and he there became
possessed of information which led him to apply
for permission to examine another witness, for the
purpose of proving facts that he deemed to be
of most vital importance to the cause of ?Alto
justice. , , ,
Mr. Maim then stated privately to the cenrt apd
chancel for the prisoner, the nature of thetestithony
he proposed to offer. Its admission ,3r rejection
was then argued to thiscourt privately, and by
the judgeaconeladeci. admit.the teedizoorty,.e.dtit or.
was as follows ; •
Sergeant Tryon recalled, to prove the fact, that
the testimony about to be given was after-disoot
ered evidence. • •
Mr. Bull objected to any opening of the case of
the COmmonwealth at this • Maga of. the proceed.
lags, whezitheenensel for the prisoner welkin:the
n;thist of the argument. '
The objection was overruled; and Sergeant
Tryon was sworn "true answers to make to the
court" in order to show, that the teatimopy waa
"after-discovered." Ms testimony was as fol
lows :
I am - a sergeant of the Nineteenth .ward ; this
murder was in my district; -I misdeed informs.
Can, last evening, which °easedme to snake
search for a man named Charlea Smith ; I went to
his residence, on Second 'street, Above COlantbia
avenue; is the remind street from Norris street;
when I went to his house first he was not at home;
I saw his wife ; I had an interview with her; after
that I went to your (the District Attorney's)
house; to you I related what had been told me;
the Dietriot Attorney and myself went in a car
riage to the house of Mr. Smith; he was foind at
his house by the District Attorney and mysel“
Mr., Smith there made a statement to the Dbtrict
Attorney, and we then, took Mr. Smith with us, in
the carriage, and went to Diamond and Front
streets, (the spot where Crawford's- body was
found,) and stopped there and got out of the car
riage ; walked up Diamond street to Howard.
Mr. Kelly now objected to the further testimony
of this witness, as he was simply called to prove
that the testimony was " after•disoovered."
Mr. Mann withdrew the question which elicited
the °ldeation of Mr. Kelly.
Witness, to Judge Allison—Yesterday was the
first time I had any knowledge of this testimony.
To Mr. Mann—This witness, Charles Smith, Is
now in court.
Oharles Smith was next sworn, to "true an
swers I make," do.—l live in Becend _street, near
Columbia avenue; I keep a algal. gore; I saw you
(the Dietriot Attorney) coming into my house last
night with two pollee officers ; told you something
that I knew about the Crawford murder; I never
met you before in regard to this case;. I never told
apybody to toll you; I never sent to yon 4 I don't
know how it came to the knowledge of the - pollee
officers.
Mr. Bull now insisted upon the Distriet Attorney
being sworn. He testified as follows: I received
my first knowledge of Mr. Smith last evening;
got my information from Mr. Smith at about 15
01 4 20 minutes after eight o'clock ; the first informa
tion I had that Charles 'Smith was a witness I re
oeived last night.
' Charles Smith waa then called as a witness to the
facts. (The witness is a German.)
!Do you remember where you went on the eve
ning pf the 21st of September last?
Witness. I left home about 7} o'clock ; went
dims Third street; I went to the Friendship Fire
Company's house, where our Lodge meets every
Friday night ; to my best knowledge it was a quar
ter to 9 when I left there ; Iwentwithagentleman
up to Third and Poplar streets, and then I went
alone up Third street to• Franklin avenue, and
there I eteod a few minutes and looked for &pollee
officer; I often talk with him; then I went down
to Front and then I - Went up Front street; very
near Front and Diamond; when I went to arose
the Street there; I think that was not Diamond
street; Diamond street stops there; I doh'tknow
the name; it runs a little off; then I heard the,
rattle of the wagon ; I don't know what you call
It when the wagon goes; I heard it; when I
heard it I looked up Diamond street; I went very
slow ahead up Front street; when I was on the
corner where I guess there stands a lamp post; I
stood still again, right there on the corner, and
tie. Lltaf lotting up and saw the light of a pis
tOl—just the itattnime met.) Diatmenti
street-,- ei•pppd there- and there e.
stood looking at it; the pistol—you there;
how. the
flash was; it looked as if downward; the flash was
going that way down ; it didn't run quite straight,
a little down; (the pistol was handed to the wit
nese and he pointed it downward as representing
the position); the flash looked about a foot or a
foot and a half from the ground; the wagon
loooked to me like—l could not tell plain what it
was; . could not tell whether it was a wagon, but
I just could think It was a wagon; the man who
fired the pistol could not have been far from
the wagon I guess, because I ran up the very
first moment I saw the flash towards the wagon;
I ran as fast as I could ; I consider I can run
pretty fast ; when I PM coming there to Howard
and Diamond streets, by the side of the square,
then I stood still. I cannot recollect for certain,
there was something standing there; I ran to
Howard and Diamond, and there stopped; I
leaned against a box, and the wagon was start
ing already; then I tried to get a look into the
wagon; before I could look It woe not very far
off; he had got about three tree boxes off from
the corner; .(trove are planted along this square),
he was on Diamond street ; the wagon had start
ed, and was coming towards me; coming down
Diamond street; I saw one man only sitting in
the wagon; he turned around Howard street
and went south; he drove very fast; the first
niovament I made was to get a weapon, and the
first Thing that went through my bead was to shoot
the horse .down, only I had nothing; I flan after
the wagon until we got to the church milled Little
Heaven(in Howard street, between Norris and
Diamond); there I stood still; I could not catch
the wagon—it was impossible; I stood there a little
while and considered over it; I then went near the
aural', across the lots, and went near the body
and stood off fifteen or twenty feet in the square ;
there was some lights there, and I saw two boys
running from second street to the body; know
them; one was David Hanna, and the other Craw
ford (no relation to the deceased); I did not stay
long, and walked off slowly to home.
Mr. Mann. Look at the prisoner and say
whether, to the bestof you knowledge and belief,
that men who was in that wagon was that pri
soner.
The prisoner was requested to stand up. During
the examination of the witness, the prisoner ex
hibited, for the first during the trial, evidences of
nervousness,
which waa made apparent by the
constant ollange of position and change of hands,
running the latter through his hair, ,to. Prior to
this it was noticeable that he would maintain the
same position for hours.
Mr. Bull objooted to the question on the ground
that the appearance of the man should be stated
by the witness first.
The court allowed the question.
Answer. This face, (in the wagon,) when I saw
it, wits quite pale; on one side, where I had to
look at it by the turn, there was a moustache;
(the witness described on his face side whiskers,
and net a moustache, the witness' Imperfect know
ledge of English leading to the mistaken cannot
say the color; he had the lines in his hands,
driving the horse; I will remember the face I saw
that night for a lifetime. (The witness was greatly
agitated at this point.)
Mr. Mann. Is the prisoner the man you saw?
A. From the look I had at him It looks very
like his face; the face I saw was pale, not so like
if it had blood on it, (meaning florid—the prison
er's complexion.)
Mr. Mann. From the best of your knowledge
and belief, is the prisoner the man you saw?
A. All that I can say, on my oath, is, that I had
a side look this morning, and it is very much like
the face I saw in that wagon, only that face was
paler.
Q. When you took a side look this morning, was
there any difference seen by you between the face
of the prisoner and the face of the man you saw in
the wagon ?
tliA. The nose of the man in the wagon was large.
1 want you to understand that I cannot take upon
my conscience to say, positively, and swear that
this is the man—all I can say is, that the prisoner's
face is very like it.
Oross•exemined. Then again looked to me like
a country carriage; I looked Into the front of the
wagon ; what I saw of the horse was the back
part, and it looked as if it had a short tail; my
whole attention was directed to the inside.
The witness underwent a long oross•examination
without shaking his testimony. In explanation of
his withholding his knowledge, he said he was a
poor man, unable to lose time, but the other day
when other murder oases wore being discussed in
his sager store, he aooldentally let slip a word
which revealed his knowledge, and then the per
sons who heard ran a and told the police.
The sensation created by this testimony has
scarcely ever been equalled in this court room.
The court, at twe o olosk, adjourned until three
o'clock, at which hour Mr. Bull proceeded with his
argument.
The court et took a mess until three o'clock, at
which hour Mr. Bull proceeded with his argument,
whiollwasiclirooted to the unreliability of eirottm
stontial evidence.
Judge Kelly followed on the same side, and com
menced by referring to the tendency of the human
mind to suggest theories, and then marshal the fasts
in support of the soheme. This should be avoided
by the jury in a ease involving the life or death
of a fellow•citizon. lle did not ask them to disre
gard eirotlinstantipl evidence, because by a strong
chain of oircumetanoea the defense had mot a vital
point in the Commonwealth's case, and had shown
by eight witnesses, reputable persons, that the
prisoner was in West Philadelphia at the hour
axed by the two witnesses for the Commonwealth
for hie visit to Crawford'a shop on that fatal Friday
afternoon. It was the business of the Common
wealth to prove its case beyond a doubt. It will
not do to raise a presumption against the prisoner.
It will not do to show auspicious oircumstances.

A battery of thirty-two.ponnders is to be treated
on the banks of the Mississippi; at Memphis. 'The
river craft will, therefore, be- compelled - to lie
to at that peint, as well as at Vicksburg. The
Tennessee Minute Men seem to be the originators
of this new outrage. We quote the following from
the Memphis Avalanche of Monday:: -
t' The Minute Men - have had' tendered to them
sixteen thirty-two.pound cannon by Maier A. H.
Douglass. who became the purchaser when the
Federal Government diapeeed of, the navy yard of
the city. These guns are in good condition, and
will immediately be put in Working order.
1 . It is the purpose of the committee to apply to
the City Council for the privilege of *resting the
battery at such point as -may bp selected, as well
as , for an appropriation commensurate with the
plan proposed.
" The presence of these cannon sums almost
providential, and -it behooves us, 'occupying the
position that Memphis does, to avail ourselves of
every means to repel the attack, and insure safety,
should actual hostilities, of which - no* there
seems little doubt, occur. Let us, by' all meant,
strengthen ourselves in every available manner,
so"as to be prepared for any and every contingency.
We trust that our patriotic and publie.spirited ci
tizens will aid the committee In this work, which
may eventually prove our salvation, and show to
Abolitionists, and their Federal .allies, if they
should attempt coercion, that here - in Tennes
see they will be welcomed with the courtesies of
war."
The Louisville Journal has the following:
" There is no longer any rosin to doubt the re
port that a battery has been erected at Vicksburg,
the object of which is to enforce the order com
pelling all descending steamboats to land at that
port and submit to an inspection by the constitu
tional authorities Steamboat men who arrived
from that point on Sun day and yesterday confirm
the truth of the rumor, and have furnished us the
names of several boats which have thus been com
pelled to land and undergo a formal search. We
are also assured that such boats arerequired to pay
the usual wharfage rates, although their business
engagements do net require them to land at Vicks
burg."
The Cincinnati Commercial says :
"The Mississippians are in ' dead earnest' in
making all foreign' boats atop and give an ac
count et themselves. The A. 0. Taylor disobeyed
the first injunction delivered by a six-pound shot,
and a twenty-four pounder was loaded with chain
abet, and aimed at the boat Fortunately or un
fortunately, as the case may be, the gun missed
fire, and got beyond the range of the battery. The
Taylor landed at Butler's wharf-boat, was boarded
by a detachment of military, and made to go back
to the encampment, where she was thoroughly
overhauled, and then permitted to go on her way.
All Cincinnati boats will be stopped bythe soldiers
of the new republic."
The Vlokeburg Tiring of the Mb rays :
The position of the uiilitary companies having
been changed to below the steamboat landing,
down steamboats will not bo required to atop
above the city. Captains should bear in mind that
they will not be permitted to pass down below the
wharf-boat with their boats before indicating their
intention of stopping. As brute seldom pass here
without landing, they Will find no trouble in com
plying with the above."
