8^ TIIE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JULY 18 1834. THE JACK B* RRETTCA8E. The Petitioners for Hie Release Reply to Certain Strictures. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: We have noticed with regret two articles in your paper, ons purporting to be from Buzzard Roost, the other from Gridin, in regard to the efforts made to commute the death sentence of Jack Barrett to life ini- prisonment. For the cause of the doomed man we deemed it proper to pass unnoticed these Articles until after the Governor should have acted upon the application. A strong eflort has been made to save his life, but while we are writing this article the unfortunate negro will be executed. The articles referred to are not before us, hence we arc necessitated to relv on mem ory for what they contained. Some parts of those communication, need not be an swered in a civilized community, as they carry with them answer sufficient, and showed in what spirit they had been penn- ed. We think, however, that the thrust made at us may be taken a9 true by some good people, if it be passed unnoticed, and the impression might go out that we were trying to pro tect a murderer and encourage prostitution v among the negroes. The hero champion of Buzzard Roost charged that the woman Jack claimed was not his wife. Now to the facts: The State’s witness, Brad Winn, swore she was Jack s wife 8he was put upon the stand and swore Jack was her husband; that lie had mar ried her: whereupon the court ruled her no%i competent witness, under the law that a wife cannot testify for or against her husband. Jack, in his statement, said lie had gotten a divorce from his slave-time woman, because she* voluntarily took her children, which were not his, and left him, and that he had married his last wife with a license. All this went to the jury. The circumstances of the killing are these: Jack had bought a gun some days before the killing took place. He got it, ne stated, to protect himself from the threat* of the deceased. It was in evi dence by the State that Jack carried this cun backwards and forwards - before the kming,openly and above-board, thereby showing he told the truth. On the night of the killing Jack learned of an ar rangement between his wife and the de ceased. He thereupon took his gnn, went down the road neai where Dave Bowman would meet his wife, heard bis wife call to Dave, heard Dave reply that he would wait there for her. and just before she got to him Jack shot Dave with his shot-gun. Not only was this the statement of the prisoner, but the State's witness. Brad Winn, swore that lie heard Jack’s wife call to Dave and heard Dave's reply, as set out above. There is no doubt but that Jack prevented an adultery with his wife by the killing. The Supreme Court decided that a killing to prevent an adultery with a man’s wife was justifiable homicide on the part of the husband. While we feel like the jury acted under conviction in taking the State’s theory and not the defendant’s, •‘III we thought ft a hard verdict under the facts. For this reason and others we applied to the Governor for clemency, not for a pardon but for a commutation of the death sentence to life imprisonment. No motive but that of a feeling of justice to the doomed man moved us to make an effort. Many of the best citizens of Hous ton sigmd the ]*tition. It was the cause of humanity that prompted them to sign It. Tin* poor old negro was without friends and had been unfortunate in the presentation of his case tj the jury. We, the writers, feel that his death to-day was an outrage, when we consider Ids good character as proven by the State's most reliable witness, and the influence that Tensed him to killed the man that ruined his happiness. Any person with a spark of humanity in his soul would be moved for the unfortunate negro could he know all the facts. Bat. says the blood-thirst v Individual from Buzzard Roost, they arc a degraded people, and the woman was a degraded, low negro wench, or something to t-ii effect, and do not need protection such as Jack waa Inclined to give. He is the stern, rigid law comes to the protection of the adulterer sod says such husband must suffer and not gyen have the benefit S'iia “teut Mw.

Harris, of Macon, before the alumni, was delivered yesterday morning at the chapel. Ilia subject was “8uccess and Failure” and was treated in an interesting and elegant style. Alluding to success through many difficulties, he said: "But time woukf fail me to mention all the names that illustrate this truth. Suffer me an instance nearer home. Oa the batiks of the Ocmulgee river, in the quiet little city from which I come, was born in February, 1842, one destined to take rank' in the forefront of America’s greatest ge niuses. The youth of the boy gave little indications of the power that slept in his soul. Educated a lawyer, admitted to the bar, he practiced his profession for a few years, w hen the dread scourge of his f.ttu- ily, consumption, seized on his frame and forced him to abandon his chosen work. While seekiug to regain his lost health and pressed by want ot means to support him self and family, he resolved to turn his at* tent ion tolitcrature. Boor as lie was. ob scure, almost friendless, with a fatal disease already threatening his life, he yet bad the courage and the will to essay the difficult task of conquering a name among (that most exclusive of all the literart) the poets of the world. He boatted no proud lineage to aid hint, no cross or decoration glittered on his breast; no pat ent of nobility accredited him to the world. He could claim no traveled erudi tion, no polished university training; he waa only a Southern boy—a Georgian at that and yet in that poor boy’s xml was the tire of as grand a genius as ever lighted the torch ou the altar of Fame's eternal temple. The story of his life is stranger than a romance of ancient days. He succeeded, too. He conquered poverty, he conquered obscurity, he conquered disease, he con- quered adverse destiny and by his own true, will and genius lilted himself into the company of the world's princes of thought, ami made a name and a fame for himself that cannot die. Critics and literary men have already accorded him a position among the first in American literature and no thoughtful or candid student can rise from thp perusal of his works without the criticism that his name is destined to live as long as poetry and music keep their places in the human heart. For only six short years his labor lasted, yet into that time was crowded a struggle such as was never paralleled in the history of human endurance. He went out from our midst almost unnoticed, yet the light nings were scarce swift enough to bear back the record of his triumphs. His bod ily ills were forgotten when men saw hint throwing into the syHabitd sweetness of our mother tongue the music which his grand soul caught from the diapason of unseen harps, strung by the inhabitants of those bright spheres, perhaps, where music is the common language of the people. Lack of bread for his children was the fear that haunted his wasted heart. Gods! how he struggled, And the grim con sciousness crept upon him day by day that he nursed in his frame a disease that was wearing his life out. As he felt his blood distill drop by drop, as he felt his strength grow less and less day byunv, as he felt uis footsteps near the* grave with dread, relentless certainty, as he •ang of green fields and running st.*eams, quiet • * iiet meadows and smiling hillsides, of ■y youth and bounding health, of music <1 laughter, as though he spread his thin, white hands above his people's head, and longed for immortality.' Out of bis sufferings came his success. His country men, reading his verse, shill find their own hopes pictured there. For them each year his thoughts shall be renewed in the blessings of the corn; they shall hear his voice again in the murmur of themoun-l tain streams; they shall feel his spirit near in the whispers of the winds, see his face right about their degradation, and we feel reflected in the pearl-tinted skies and catch that it will be a long time before they will his great heart-throbs in the mighty waves beany better if they are taught by such 1 * * L ‘* executions as that of to-day that they can pollute their neighbor’s wife with frupu- pity; that if such neighbor uses violence The Conaresslonnl Nomination.

Since her death a sister, Anna Bishop, has taken care of the orphan; but another sister, Elizabeth Jones, does not seem to think Anna a fit person to take caretof it. About a month or so ago a writ of habeas corpus was sued out by Elizabeth, and it was heard by Judge McManus, the “nlinarv. He *L lowed the child to remain in the custody of Anna inasmuch as Elizabeth had a family of several children herself. Now. Elizabeth will make another effort to se cure the child.
