Later from Brownsville.
Augusta, Nov. 18.—The Washington
Star says : The War Department has re
ceived dispatches from Gen. Twiggs, dated
San Antonio, Nov. 12, saying that Corti-
nas had laid Brownsville in ashes. He
then marched towards the river Nonces
with 800 men. Some doubt is expressed
as to the truth of the report.
The Exoitement at Riotunond. Va.
Augusta, Nov. 18.—Nothing has yet been re
ceived to justify the report’that there was a large
armed body of abolitioniata near Charlestown, Va.
There was another large fire in the neighbor
hood last night, and troopi were called out, ex
pecting an attaok, but none was made. Three
companies from Alexandria went np this morning
to strengthen the force already there.
The government to-day forwarded 2,000 pounds
powder and several hundred pounds or minis balls
to Harper's Perry.
Ship News.
New York, Nov. 18.—Nothing has been
heard at Halifax of the Canada, now due.
The America arrived early this morning,
and sailed this afternoon for Liverpool,
taking out New Orleans telegrams to the
17th instant.

Augusta, Nov. 18.—Cotton firm; sales

A Rescue.—There are still, s&ya the Richmond
Dispatch, occasional rumors of a plot to rescue Old
Brown and his companions. The Richmond cor
respondent of the Petersburg Express says that or
ders have been given to the guard, In the event of
Buch an attempt? to shoot the prisoners at once,
and then defend themselves from the attacking
party.
The Oovernor Is still in receipt of vile and men
acing letters from the abolitionists. It Is evident
that a spirit of mischief Is afoot whloh demands
vigilance at all points.
1jgr* Charles Pargett, who was shot in
Baltimore on election day by a rowdy, died
of his wounds on Saturday morning. The
deceased waeV the time trying to rescue
a friend whom the rowdies were trying
to force to vote' against his will. The
man who did the deed was arrested on
Friday.
JWSP* Ralph,Waldo Emerson, in a lee-
ture at the Tremont Temple, Boston,
spoke ol John Brown as “The Saint,
whose fate yet hangs in suspense, but
whose martyrdom, if it shall be perfected,
I make the gallows as glorious as the
cross.**
111®* The New Jersey Legislature stands
as follows: Senatez-^Twelve Democrats,
eight Opposition, one Straight American.
House—Thirty Democrats, twenty-eight
Opposition, two straight Americans. The
Democratic majority on joint ballot is
three.
43- The Richmond Dispatch suggests that
In making the changes contemplated In the tnlll-
tia laws of Virginia, the Legislature should bes
tow upon every captain ormllltfa, and ills offloers,
the power of forming themselves Into a court for
the purpose of trying all cases In which the party
haB been taken In the act of exciting insurrection,
and hanging him on the spot. The execution of a
l»w of this kind, In one or t#o Instances, would,
the editor thinks, have a prodigious effect. When
mon know that they are to be exalted Into heroes
and martyrs fbr attempts of the kind, as old
Brown has been, It may be possible that they wii
Imitate him. But when they And that the on y
alternative of complete success Is to be hung Ilka
a dog and burled in a ditch with ropes around
their necks, they will be very cautious how they
venture. They will want the stimulant of vani
ty, which keeps Old Brown up. It Is one thing to
dio for glory, and another to be strangled quietly
and without eclat.
The Ban Joan Dispot*.—The Richmond Dispatch
thinks the attempts to magnify the prospects of a
quarrel between the United States and Great
Brltlan, on the petty Ban Juan difficulty, will not
divert the Southern mind from the real danger of
the times. The South is Interested in peace with
Great Britain, and Is r.ot in a mood to discuss the
questlou of defences from British Invasion, when
she has been actually Invaded by a different kind
of enemies more dangerous and nearer home. In
truth, tho South never haa suffered such wrongs
from England or from any other country as those
which have been Inflicted upon her by the people
of slstor SUtes in the Union; and the hundretb
part of those wrongs, committed by one Indepen
dent nation agaluat another, would he deemed am
ple cause of war.
Harper's Ferry in England.—They
got news in England of the Harper's
Ferry outbreak by the steamer Circassian,
It created.something ol a “sensation."
The London papers print it, as telegraph
ed from Liverpool, with big headings. The
Manchester Guardian Bpeaks of it as
"alarming,*' but thinks " Harper’s Ferry
is too near the capital and a numerous
white population, to afford the insurgents
any chance of success." The Liverpool
Journal thinks the “ United States will
have onough to do, without justifying the
outrages of Gen. Harney at San Juan.
Aid for Brown’s Family.—Mr. Tbaddeus Tlyatt
of Naw York, In proposing a plan for the relief of
John Brown's family says:
I have a photograph of the old man presented to
n>* by his own hands, an admirable likeness. Let
all who sympathise In the purpose send each a
dollar, and I will tbrward fbr each auchaum an ex-
•ot copy of tho original, and with It, If possible,
John llnmn's autograph. The proceeds from ten
thousand such copies will produce a fund of eight
thousand dollars for the benefit of the helploss and
sflllcted one, whom the Kansas hero so touchingly
commends to our sympathy and care.

SECOND DAY.
Judges Wayne and Nicol,'presiding.—
Friday, Nov. 18th.
United States ts. Nicholas D. Brown,
Juan B. Ragrsta and Michael Aguira,
charged with Piracy.*
Joseph M. Haywood, sworn,—la a bar
ber by trade. lit his tusincss dyes hair.—
Tho beard of Brown, one of the prisoners
at tke bar, is dyed.
Cross Examined.—Witness thinks that
the prisoners hair is not dyed. If so, it
has been dyed a long time. Thinks the
original color of his whiskers was a dark
brown. Has the appearance of beard fre
quently dyed in his shop. It is not unusuj
al for gentlemen to come into his shop and
want their board dyed a darker color.
W. T. Thompson, sworn.—Is editor of
the Morning News. An advertisement
was put into the oaperof which he is edi
tor, on the 23d of November, 1858. [The
advertisement was read by witness. It
forewarns all persons against landing on
Jekyl Island, for the purposes of gunning,
cutting wood, lemoving wrecks; &c.]
The counsel for defence begged the Court
to understand lhathe allowed the introduc
tion of evidence not bearing on the case
because he expected the Court to charge
the jury, if the mind of the Court was in
accordance with his own, as to what por
tion of it was sdmissable and proper, and
what portion was not.
The Court replied that it was the in
tention to so state to the jury.
By the Court.—The advertisement was
inserted by Mr. Henry DuBignon. It was
dated Nov. 23d, 1858. Such advertisements
are frequently put in the newspapers.—
Witness knows that such advertisements
have been published in tho paper of which
he is editor, by Mr. Jacob Waldburg and
others, residing on St. Catherine's and oth
er hunting island.
H. A. McLeod, sworn.—Belongs to
Charleston. Is now a merchant, but was,
up to July of last year, a clerk in the em
ploy of Mr. H. A. Vincent, a Ship Chand
ler ol Charleston. In such service witness
sold to Capt. Corrie, as master and owner
of that vessel, supplies for the yacht Wan
derer.
Cross-Examined.—Heard Capt. Corrie
say that he had bought the Wanderer for
$30,000. Capt. C. paid the bills at Mr.
Vincent's. lie was in possession of, and
commanded the Wanderer. Such bills were
frequently made at the establishment.
Adrian B. LaRoche, sworn.—Was U.
d. Deputy Marshal in 1858. While so act
ing he was sent down, by U. S. Marshal
Stewart, to Darien, to get Mr. Mabry, the
Collector of the Port, and then proceed to
Brunswick to take possession ol the Wan
derer. It was in tho month of December.
Witness left Savannah on the 17th of th.i:
uunth. He found on board the Wanderer
log books, charts,
Here a couple of boks were shown to
the witness which he recognised ns those
found on the Wanderer. He also recog
nized several charts exhibited to him.
Witness saw a trunk ol Capt. Currie's
on board the yacht. He seized the books
and charts and gave them to Mr.
Mabry, who took charge of them.
The counsel for defence here desired to
note iho fact that the log books of a ship
were not evidence, except against those
who kept them.
• Cross Examination.—Witness knew the
charts by certain intrinsic or ear marks !
cnerts? C# i ms ‘!S!ihtP"wJllf n IIBt ’’CtT'lli'e'
harts originally, but were put there sub
sequently.
Direct Examination.—Witness was on
Jekyl Islnnd. Did not return to Savannah
on tho Wanderer. An African negro was
not put in his possession aa Deputy Mar
shal, nor did he, in such capacity, lodge
an African negro at Mr. Wylley's office.
Mr. Jackson, associate counael lor the
prosecution, stated to the Court that he
desired occasionally, in Ilia place as prose
cuting counsel, to ask questions. Every
attorney had his own way of conducting
examinations, and he supposed the Dislriot
Attorney would make no objection to hU
occasionally taxing a part in the examina
tion.
The Court thdughl it would be best
for the counsel lor prosecution to conler
together, and coins to an understanding as
to which one of them Bhould conduct the
examination. It was a rule of the Court
that more than one of the counsel could
not interrogate the witnesses, and it was
not to be expected that the District Attor
ney could allow what the Court had no
power to grant- It Mr. JackBon desired
questions propounded to witneeses, it
would be proper after the witnesB had been
turned over by Mr- Owens, for tho Court
to ask tho questions for him. Any other
course would involve long and profitless
discussions, which would consume valu-
sble time.
Direct examination returned.—Witness
knows that a negro, reported to be an Af
rican, waB brought to Savannah and put in
to Mr. George Wyly's office. He was sub
sequently taken away, but witness does
not know the parties engaged in removing
him. Witness found said negro at the bar
racks. Mr. Stewart took him Irom there
to Mr. Wyly'e office, where he last aaw
him; knows nothing else of the transac
tion. It was in the afternoon, in Decern-
her, about a week after his return from
Jekyl Island, that lie saw the negro at Mr.
Wyly’s office. He returned Irom Jekyl
about the 21st of December. Thinks the
negro was brought from Jekyl by Mr. Gor
don.
By the Court.—Watt on Jekyl Island
nearly all of one day. During which time
he staid with no one. Was walking all
day, and supposes he walked 10 miles in
the course of tho day. His purpose was
to arrest Africans, if he could find any, but

"Good Morning." Mr. DuB. asked by
what authority ho came on the Island.—
n tlness showed his authority, and asked
where he bould find Mr. John DuBignon ;
was told that ho was not thcro. Mr.
DuU. rode off towards the house, and wit-
ness followed. When he got to tho gate
he stopped to consider. He was afraid if
he left the negro in possession of hie friend
it would bo token away from him as lie had
no authority to hold him. Ho considered,
therefore, it would be beet to go to Bruns-
jfjek. Did so, and took negro with hint.

Captain Frcoborn asked him for 'his
clearance of tho negro. Witness told him
he had none, but as the collector wua on
board would get one. Could nor find Mr.
Mabry, and ca»»»e back and told Capt. F. a
clearance was u.mecessaiy, as they were
only going from one district to another.~

refused to go ashore, but subsequently

PARDON SILL.
Mr. Wallace, of Taylor, felt that he
was imperatively called upon to give hie
Views. He alluded to the eloquent ap
peal of Col, Halt, but he thought that
stern justice should be meted out.
While he regarded the tears and cries of
the mother, he thought that some con
sideration ought to be given the widow

and children. He would

in 300 or 400 yards of them when they ran
away; would not be positive as to the dis
tance. They ran as soon as they saw him.
Witness carried boy to Barracks, and de
livered him to Captain Goodwin, Chief of
Police; carried him there because he did
not know what else to do with him. De
livered him to Mr. Stewart the day after he
arrived. _ Negroes without owners are usu
ally put in jail for sale keeping, and not in
Mr. Wyly's office. Never saw him alter lie
was put in Mr. W.’e office, and does not
know what became of him-
Crone Examined—Hus boen in the
West Indies, but never on the conBt of
Africa or in F.gypt. Dona not Know the
difference between an African and an
Egyptian. Witness slated that ho had
seen an Egyptian, but afterwards said it
was a Gypsey, The negroes appeared to
be dancing around afire. Haa frequently
aeen negroes run from a constable. '
Geo. W. Wylly, Sworn — On Christ
mas day in 1858, Mr. Stewart brought to
his office a boy about 12 years of age, and
requested that he should bo taken care of
He remainu t Irom 10 o’clock in the morn-
ing, till about 11 o'clock the same night.
He was told tho next morning, by the boy
who is loft in charge of the place, that he
had been takon away by some unknown
men, during the night. A great number
—perhaps 500—visited him during tfte day,
at witnesse’s office, attracted he supposed
by curiousity to sea an Alrican. Cannot
say, ol his own knowledge, how the boy
escaped. Witness loft his office at the
usual hour, and in charge of the boy who
always remained during absence. Said to
Deputy Marshal La Roche in the altor-
noon that he would not be responsible for
the boy, Deputy Marshal thought there
was no danger ol his beint; molested.—
Witness had no grounds to believe that
any attempt would be made to rescue the
boy, but leared something would happen.
Knows nothing ol iho escape, hui what his
negro man told him. Runaways were
frequently brought to Iub ofliceat night lor

Prater of tii* Jews for Victor' Knanukl.—In

fered up a prayer fbr a Christian prince, and In
voked the blessing of heaven upon Victor Emanu

Signor Roberto Funaro. At the first word the
three thousand Jews present, with the exception
of a few old men, rose to their feet and remalued
staudlng until the cIofo of the prayor, to which
they all responded with an overwhelming ‘'Amen.’>

was a murder committed when every act oi
the murderer looked sane, all gave some
evidences of insanity, Mr. W. argued at
longlh upon tho admlssability of evidonce.
He differed from Judge Holt in hio views
ot Judge Bull’s charge. Mr. W. spoke at
some length.
Mr. Mtllor now took up the evidence.—
It was the duty ol every Senator to look
into the evidence, and applied the law
thereto. From this evidence who could
doubt ihr insanity or Choice. Mr. Miller
argued obly on tho evidence; outside
ies'iea had boon brought into this discus
sion. Tho only question ior the Senate
wns on the evidence alone. lie had heard
that at a public meeting in Atlanta,
Resolutions had been passed that if Choice
were gnot condemned by the jury, they
would execute him.
Mr. Collier, of Fullon, had determined
to pursue a different course from that
which he would now take; he had intend
ed only to cast his vote, but hie constitu-
oncy had been sssoiled ae a mob a craving
lor the blood of an innocent man. He ap
preciated the motives which had prompted
gentlemen to make appeals in behalf of a
mother whom he pitied. Bat he, too,
could draw a picture if so disposed, of n
widowed mother, and her orphaned chil
dren friend ol their only hopes and
means of support.
It was not wonderful that hie constitu-
ency should have been excitod. He was
not at the meeting to which Mr. Miller
had alluded, but he lied heard that there
was some resolution to the effect that if
Choice wero tried and acquittod, they
would hang him. Tho asking of a par
don presupposes guilt. (Mr. Collier
argued upon tho grounds of insanity, its
causes and effects. 51 r. C. alluded to
positions assumed by those on the other
side who had preceded him, but I think
had misunderstood them. Messrs. Paine,
Miller and Holt, roso and informed the
Senator from Fulton that ha was wrong in
this position, as regarded what they had
said). On question of proof, Mr. C. con
tended that sanity was presumed in all
cases until the contrary was proved, and
tho fact that Choice told all theeirenm-
stances connected with the murder after
the stupor ol drunkenness had passed off,
woe conclusive to prove hie sanity. Mr.
C. read from the evidence oi Mr. Wilkes,
the minister, that Choice admitted drink
alono had caused the commission of the
act. Mr. C. argued at some length on the
evidence and made a very good speech

cal, rhetorical, eloquent—commanding the
attention of the Senate, Representatives,
ladies, and all. At nearly six, Mr. Hill
suspended his remarks, and continued
them again this mornihg for about an hour.
His closing period wns very fine indeed.
Mr. Collier replied at some length.to
Mr. II., defending hie constituents from
saporeions he considered had been cast
upon them, and went over some portions
of the evidence in the esse.
Mr. Jones, of Newton, sustained the po
sitions he assumed yesterday.
Mr. Lawton waa not eure but that the
Senate was ready for tho question; if they
were, they had only to intimate it, and he
.vould not trouble them.
Hie mind was made up, and had the
vote been takon yesterday, he would not
have said one word, but merely cast bis
vote, but from the peculiar turn which this
discussion had taken, he felt it hie duty to
give his views upon tho relations the Sen-
ate sustained to this case.
Frail humanity must make general laws,
and Judges and Juries ipust confine them
selves to the rigid rules of statutee, hut tt
was for us to exercise an equitable right
in cases of extreme exceptions.
It was true that an application for a
pardon, pro-supposed guilt, $uilt not a
moral guilt, not that guilt which we con
demn in our hearts, but a legal guilt. He
did not think that the Legislature was the
C roper place to lodge this power to pardon.
ut he was swurn under the Constitution,
and that Constitution gave him, as a mem
ber of the Senate, a vote on this occa
sion, and he would vole for tho bill. He
believed thtl Choice should be pardoned,
and pardoned, too, qn grounds ni justice,
ribt on appeals for mercy, but merely on
grounds of justice—this being one ot those
eases that make the exceptions. There are
two classes of cases where verdicts may be
taken up before this pardoning power.
One of these was where the verdict was
wrong per ee. found against the law and
the facts, and the other where the verdict
waa technically right. This case wee one
of the latter case. Under tbe charge ol
tho Judge in Ihis case, and under the law
the verdict should not have Deen given
against the criminal, aud may bo taken aa
ooo of those exceptions, where- this par
doning power should come in end reverse
the verdict. Mr. L. argued at aome length
on the question of Choice’s insanity. No
one witness had sworn to Choice's .sanity
at the timo that he committed the crime.
He had no peculiar interest in thie caee,
except such feelings as a human being, a
member of the great human family, and
from the testimony alone he was in favor
of the pardon.
Choice wee either insano or the most
skillful foigner that he had over heard of.
Hon. Col. Lawton introduced eeveral in-
stancca of insanity in cases which had
come under hie own observation, he made
no appeals, only wished Senators to vote
on the reason he hsd presented.
Mr. Harris, of worth, did not wish to
impugn the motives ol any gentleman, hut
made an explanation of (be unjust treat,
rnent Choice had received. He then called
the previous questions, yielding only to
Mr. Hill to rnako an explanation. The
vote being called stood, yeas 54, nays 53.
