Monday Evening, Feb. titi, 1858.
Walton Court.
CONCLUSION OF THE O’KELLY TRIAL.
After the conclusion of the testimo
ny, which occupied about two days, and
during which the Court House was
crowded with spectators, the argument
before the Jury was opened by Mr. Eas
it, one of the counsel for the State. He
spoke over an hour, and confined his
speech mainly to a review of the testi
mony and its application, to the crime
with which the prisoner was charged.
He is a young attorney, and made rath
er a forcible speech. He was followed
by Lamar, of Covington—a brother of
L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi. He is a
fine speaker, and his defense of the
prisoner was skillfully managed, and
eloquently enforced.
These speeches occupied Friday after
noon. At night—the Court House again
thronged—Solicitor Thurmond address
ed the Jury in behalf of the State. He
addressed himself to the law and the
testimony—defining the degrees of
crime, and applying the testimony to
the charge of murder, under which the
prisoner was arraigned. He is an inde
fatigable prosecuting officer, and an able
lawyer. His speech exhibited great
skill and discrimination—and was in
keeping with his position as an officer of
the State. He spoke an hour and three
quarters. He was followed by Clark,
of Covington, for the prisoner. His
speech was rather desultory—in which
he sought to refute the points of the
Solicitor, and to make the most of eve
ry thing favorable to the prisoner. His
flashing eye—his pungent sarcasm—and
glowing declamation were striking if
not convincing. Ho spoke over two
hours, and a quarter to 12 o'clock on
Friday night, the court adjourned to
the next morning.
I watched the prisoner after the
crowd had dispersed— he continued to
hang his head, hut presented no other
evidence of feeling, as the sheriff took
him to one of the rooms in the Court
House, where a guard was kept with
him.
Oil Saturday morning Judge Floyd
closed the argument for the prisoner.—
He spoke three or four hours. His
mild eye and fine humane face are not
adapted to the defence of such a crime
dyed perdition-doomed wretch, but lie
made most of the testimony in his de
fence. He spoke forcibly—endeavoring
to show that there was no intent to mur
der—and that if the prisoner had not
done all that others might do, there was
no reliable evidence that he had acted
without an honest purpose.
In the afternoon Hon. N. G. Foster,
of Madison, dosed the argument for the
State, in one of his most powerful ef
forts. It called out the warmest and
noblest impulses of the soul, and he
spoke with a power and feeling that
was impressive and overwhelming—if
not convincing to the jury. It is out of
the question to give even an outline of
his speech. He dwelt only upon the
Strong points of testimony—the box in
which the prisoner brought Iris wife to
the county—in wiiich, lie said, no de
cent owner of a menagerie would keep
a bear—the toughest and meanest
of brutes. He showed from the testi
mony of the prisoner's own relatives,
that others had usurped the place of the
deceased in the domestic circle—and
that his faithless conduct toward her
•whom he had sworn to cherish, had con
firmed, if it had not caused her insani
ty. He showed how, day hy day, and
inch hy inch, he had tortured, and
wrung the very life-blood from her,
by neglect, and hunger, and cold ; that
while her own children aided the unho
ly work—as she lay naked—and hungry
—and freezing on the filthy floor of a
rude log dungeon—another took her
place in the domestic circle—reposed
on her pillow—and children of shame
prattled the name of a wanton mother
around the w ; arm, glowing hearth. And
then, while team flowed from an hun
dred eyes, the speaker turned to the
culpit, and, in his most impassioned
manner, rehearsed them as evidence
that he was a murderer.
It is impossiule to do justice to this
Speech of Col. Foster. I have heard
him often at the bar, in the pulpit, and
on the stump, but this is the crowning
wreath in the chaplet of his fame as a
lawyer and a speaker. He spoke little
over an horn, and, after receiving a
clear and able charge from Judge Hut
chins, the Jury retired, and I left the
court ground.
It seems to he the universal convic
tion of those who have heard the evi
dence and the argument, that if they
do not convict him of murder they will
fail to enforce the law and fulfil the
ends of justice.
POSTSCRIPT.
Verdict of the Jury in the case of
O’KELLY
I'
TIIE STATE.
By a privrte messenger to the Social
Circle, we leam that after a few hours 1
consultation, the Jury brought in a
verdict of manslaughter—and the Judge
sentenced Thomas O’Kellt to three (
years imprisonment in the Penitentiary, c
!yj Shipping Interest.
I There are some signs of improvement
in shipping. The New York Journal of
Commerce says that seamen are becoming
scarce, showing a greater demand for
crews, and the amount of tonnage lying
idle at tlio wharves lias much diminish
ed. The same is true at other ports, in-!
asmucli as orders for crews are being re-j
I ceived in New York from Baltimore,Bos
ton and New Haven. The scarcity of men
is partly attributed to the large number
who have entered into the government
service during the period of commercial
depression. The fact that the building
of ships has been totally suspended
throughout the country for several
months, considered in connection with
the losses of ships from disaster, causes
au early improvement in the shipping
. interest to be anticipated.

A Good Kaine.
Sometime in 1836 or '39. (says an ex
change,) a gentleman in Tennessee be
come involved and wanted money; he
had property and he owed debts. His
property was not available just then,
and off he posted to Boston, hacked by
! some of the best men in Tennessee.—
i Money was tight, and Boston bankers
' looked closely at the names. “Very
, good,” said they, “but, hut—do you
. know General Jackson ?” “Certainly;
but he is not worth one half as much
. as either of these men whose names I
, offer you.” “No matter, lie lias al
ways protected himself and his paper,
' and we’ll let you have the money upon
: the strength of his name.” In a few
days the papers, with his signature, ar
rived. The moment the Boston gentle
men bankers saw the tall A. and long
J. of Andrew Jackson, our Tennesseean
says lie could have raised a hundred
thousand dollars upon the signature.—
So much for an established character
for honesty. However men may have
differed with Andrew Jackson political
ly, no man could deny him the merit of
an honest man.

Appointments in the Army and A'avy. j
1 In a late speech in the Senate, Gen.)
I Houston, of Texas, boldly affirmed that!
i appointments to the United States Mili
, tary and Naval Academies, are now
made with reference to political patron
■ age, and not to the merit of the appli
cant. “No matter,” said the speaker,
“ how promising a youth may be, if he
has no patronage with which to recip
rocate patronage, he is neglected and
overlooked. The members of Congress,
in selecting individuals from their dis
tricts for these academies, arc guided
] hy an eye to policy. ‘Who among these
candidates will bring me the greatest
j support in .my district ?” is the ques
| Hon. No matter how stupid a boy
j may be if he has influence to back hisj
i application, he is selected by a member
ami sent to West Point Academy, where 11
j he is nursed, and cherished, and foster-1 ■
|ed till he graduates.” These are grave!
, Charges, and, if true, it would be better
to return to the old plan of making ap- 11
| pomtments without special regard to 1 '

1 Brlgliam Young on Stealing Nails,
j In one of his late Sunday discourses
| at the Tabernacle. Brigham Young lec
tured “the Saints” on their dishonesty.
He said:
There are men in this community
[ who, through the force of the educa
tion they have received from their pa
j rents and friends, would cheat a poor
! widow out of her last cow, and
| then go down upon their knees and
thank God for the good fortune he had
6ent them, and for his kind providences
that enabled them to obtain a cow with
out becoming amenable to any law of
the land, though the poor widow had
been actually cheated.
Dr. Kimball told the truth, this
morning, with regard to many of our
mechanics. I have not built a house
since Ihave been in this place but what 1
havefurnished many more poundsof nails
j than I would have to for the same piece
!of work in the States. I knew that
some of the workmen here took them,
I and I told them so.
To me, taking and keeping, another’s
property is stealing ; but to many, they
consider it a godsend to have another’s
nails to carry home in their’pockets.
I am willing to pay men for what
they do. I am anxious that all should
have that which belongs to them, and
- wish them to let that which belongs to
. me alone. If I furnish nails to build a
house, the workmen have no right to
’ carry them off. When using nails, the ,
■ mechanic often has more or less in his
• pocket; at quitting time he forgets to
| take them out, and carries them home.
He goes out to chop a little wood, and
says, “Dear me, these nails,” —some
twenty or thirty, and perhaps more—
“are quite a burthen to me,” and he 1
puts them out ot his way. By and by
lie wants to build a pig-pen, or to build
a little addition to his house, and feels i
quite thankful that he has the nails to i
do it with, and will praise the name of ,
the Lord, for the manner in which he .
lias blessed him. j
Congressional Proceedings.
Washington, reb. 18. —Senate. —Mr. (
Green, from the Committee on Terri
tories, reported a bill for the admission 1
of Kansas, submitting a long report, 1
which was not read. Messrs. Douglas '
13 and C'ollamcr, from the same commit
t tee, presented adverse reports. Mr.
Green gave irotice that lie would call up
the subject at an early day. The army
1 bill being up for consideration, the 4th
, section of the original bill was stricken
I out. Mr. Wilson moved as an amend
ment, that the proposed reduction at
the end of the two years shall not ope
rate on any officer in commission at the
date of this act, which was adopted.—
. Mr. Iverson opposed the substitution of
volunteers for regulars, but no action
was taken on the subject.
Horse.—After hearing personal ex
planations from Messrs. Davis and
Bowie, of Md., the House went into
Committee of the Whole on the Indian
approprition bill. Mr. Shorter made a
speech on the Kansas question,in which
he said that all the Southern States
were now limited on the Georgia plat
form, which pledged its resistance even
to a dissolution of the Union, on the re
fusal of Congress to admit Kansas lie
cause of the existence of slavery there.
He said he cared not whether this was a
constitutional or revolutionary right,
the South were prepared to defend it.—
He referred to Mr. Douglas, who, he
said, had fled at the first fire of a gun, -
and, like Parthian, threw poisoned ar- :
rows behind him. lie contended that
it was never intended that Kansas
should be a slave State ; five Governors
all free soilers, had been sent there.—
The referring of the question back to
the people would inevitably invite civil
wag, as the South would not consent to
remain in the Union on an inequality
with the North. He would rather be
the vassal of Old than New England.—
The word compromise was offensive to
him ; he would make it a penal offence
for Southerners to use it; it was sugges
tive of surrender and, base submission,
and sounded like the bugle blast of a
robber hand. Mr. Zollicoffer defended
the American party against certain re
marks contained in the speech of Mr.
Hatch, made yesterday. In making
these remarks he said that Hatch had
uttered the falsehood with which he
now branded him. Hatch was not pres
ent. Mr. Tompkins opposed the Le
compton Constitution, and Mr. Clemens
argued its legality. No action was had I
on the subject.
Washington, Feb. 19.--Senate.— The
morning was devoted to the considera
tion of bills oil the private calender.
The further consideration of the Ar- i
my bill was postponed till Tuesday. f
House.— Several members made per- 1

giT T lie Great Pro blcm
Solved !—DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR-
IjTAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric,
fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
nutriment, which was a load ami a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-dolorcux
pr ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
nervous energy v or experiencing any other pain
or disability arisingfrom the unnatural condition
• Qf the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it arc unanimous in
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman has ever received from the hands of
medical men.
Morse's Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid material
which is to be subjected to their action... As an
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmocopia.
If long file and tlio vigor necessary to its en
joyment arc desirable, this medicine is indeed of
precious wortli
Its beneficial effects are not confined to cither
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business,* the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general de
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
will all find immediateand permanent relh f from
the use of this incomparable renovator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard
against that terrible malady. There are many
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond the roach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
F.lixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
ference to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution .

(gFHair Dye is Vile Wash,
but the article “that will naturally restore the
color of the hair, the changing of which to gray
being an indication of alack of proper secretions,
is truly a valuable medicine. Professor Wood’s
HAIR TONIC, if the certificates of the leading
minds over the Union do not falsify, is the only
safe remedy for baldness, dryness, premature
change of color, and the several evidences of a
lack of secretions at the roots of the hair, which
can be found. Quack preparations abound, and
•hair tonics’ fill every ‘corner grocery’ in the
country. Avoid all ‘hair tonics’ unless known
* to be the preparation of some man whoso cele
i | brity lias become world-wide. Do not let any
! nostrum vender experiment upon your hair..
Touch nothing you have not good reason to be
lievc is all that it purports ta be. Prof. Wood
has earned by years of severe test of the virtues
of his preparation, his present fame. Over 150
certificates are before us of the value of this
, hair restorative, from all parties who have tried ■
it. Use no other.
Caution. — beware of worthless imitations as
several are already in the market called by dif
ferent names. Use none unless the words Prof. ,
Wood’s Hair Restorative, Depot St. Louis, Mo.,
and New York, are blown iu the bottle.
