The second week of < ,'ohh.Supe rior Churl was taken up coitiridy in the trial of criminal cases, of which there were many on the docket.

Have you anything to say why the sen fence, prescribed by law, should not be pronounced against yon j/ The prisoner's counsel announc ing that they had not hing to offer against the passing of the sen tence, the Judge proceeded ; \ 1 am about to perform the most unpleasant, as well as the most solemn duty that devolves upon :t Judge in the administration nf law , and my only object in saving anything to you beyond the sim ple judgment of the court, is, to call your attention to the solemn doom which you are so soon to meet, and to urge upon you, in a spirit of sympathy and kindness, the absolute necessity of a prepa ration to meet it w ith joy, and not with grief. You have had a fair trial, by a jury of good and true men, each and every one ol whom swore, and I have no doubt truly swore, that their minds were perfectly impartial between the,, state and yourself. Your counsel aide, true, and learned as they are— have done for you all that profes sional skill and ability and elo queneo could accomplish. If you could have been acquitted, they would have acquitted you. The testimony against you was too powerful for them to overcome, and too powerful tor the .jury to resist. I’uder the solemn ch* cuttistanees which now surround you.it is both just and proper that you should feel,that you are the author and the finisher of the dreadful fate which you are about j ought to feel, aifd 1 . . ,Bto^^>u.il"Me young man was dying in the presence of his stricken father and mother, and his sorrowing brother and sisters. And stran ger than all. according to the un eonl radieted testimony in your case, you shot him for nothing in the world. According to the tes./ tiinony, young Jenkins, had nev er harmed yo’u in his life—he did not speak an unkind word to you—he made no sort of assault upon you, nor did he oiler to you any kind ol olfence, insult, or violence w hatever. So far asap pears from the testimony you killed him for no cause whatever, that the laws of the land would justify, or in any manner excuse. Is it strange, therefore, that you should be now standing at 1 lie bat of this court, to receive the penalty which the law de ktounces against one who thus takes the life of a fellow being without justification or excuse '{ if it were otherwise, would there be any protection for society a gainst the violent and the blood i Ihirsty? When the laws of Georgia de-1 Id a re, that the punishment of murder shall be death, they but repeat the penalty which God himself declared should lie exe cuted upon all who might be Ton ml guilty of that great crime. "Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood lie shed.” •■Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall he put to death.” "He that killeth any man shall surely* be put to death.” "lie that siniteth a man so that lu* die. shall he surely put to death.” "Ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, w hich is guilty of death ; hut he shall be surely put to death.” These are the solemn utteran ces of the Bible itself. They* are the positive enactments of the living and eternal God, and their justice none can gainsay or question. 1 call your attention to these tilings not for the purpose of simply harrowing your feelings, but because 1 would not have you go from the bar of this court, feeling that the law had done you injustice. The law* is right, and human society demands ihe protection which it athmls. Now. Mr. Brown, your race w ill soon be run. Y oung though you be. your career on earth is ended, and l conjure you to lose sight of everything in this world except a preparation to meet that God, at w hose bar you must soon appear answer for the deeds of tins Tin*re is a fountain opened in the house of David, foivftgi and pneleainiess of every* kind 2?tod tyfu*. Though you may* be an unrepentant sinner— though your hands may be stain ed w ith the blood of your fellow man—though you may be a con demnod felon, ol whom the law declares, that it is not fit that you should longer live, yet there is mercy and hope and salvation for you, in the atoning blood of the Redeemer.

The War. London, Nov. IS. —An official Russian dispatch dated Yeran, Kaleh, Sunday, November 18th, says: The Russians carried Kars to day by storm. The bat tie preceding the capture com menced at 8 o’clock last night and terminated at 8 o’clock this j morning. Our trophies and los j ses are unknown. London, Nov. 19.-A Daily News Yeran Kaleh special says Kars ; was captured by about fifteen \ thousand Russians, who climbed \ the steep rocks, ramparts and j walls and stormed an equal num ber of desperately fighting Turks in a headlong flight over their ditches and parapets, compelling them to die or surrender. The escalade had been originally fix ed for the 13th, but postponed ow ! ing to bad weather. The princi- i pal attack was made on the south ern forts. General Lazerelf commanded the right wing, con sistingof the fourth division, and attacked Hafez Pasha, a fort crowning a steep, rocky height. General Count Grabbe, with his regiment of Moscow grenadiers and a regiment, of the 39th divis ion, assailed in the center the Khauli Tabia, Lurvarn Tabia, three towers and a citidel. The Ardahan brigade and othei* regi ments of Moscow grenadiers, un der Generals Roop and Kewa roll', forming the left wing, as vaulted Fort Ingles on the north. The attack began in the center at 8:30 o'clock on Saturday even ing, when Count Grabbe led his brigade against the Khauli re doubt and himself fell dead at the first onset, being pierced by a bullet. Captain Kwadmieki,of the 59th regiment was first to en ter the , redoubt—at eleven o'- clock at night. Ilis sword was cut clean out of his hand, and his clothing were pierced. The re doubt surrendered early the next morning and then the three towns almost simultaneously with the capture of Khauli redoubt. The citidel of Fort Luivarri and Fort Hafiz Pasha were carried by as sault. By daylight on Sunday morning, Gen. Lazereffs troops had made progress as far as the capture of Fort Karadah. The other forts, especially tlie Arab and Tabia on the east and the Takmak and Tabia on the west, maintained a stubborn resistance until eight o’clock, when all the garrisons which could escajie fled towards Erzeroum, but they were subsequently overtaken by dragoons and Cossacks, and brought back prisoners. London, Nov. 2*2. —The Grand Duke Michael entered Kars on Monday and received the hom age of the inhabitants. Typhoid fever is spreading in the town. The operations near Rustchnk, as reported by the Russian and Turkish bulletins, indicate a dis- ; position on the pari of the Turks to attept a repetition of Mehemet Ali's tactics *'— by threeV.ni.n.u^ there may be sucli an outcry in England as to make war on the part of inevitable. Information of this declaration has been sent to Russian head quarters and has made a strong impression there. In these cir cumstances there is some reason for fearing this country may be dragged into the present conflict. Further ground for such appie hension is afforded by the fact that within the last few hours or ders have been issued for the preparation of an army corps. A warlike policy will meet much opposition and it is hard to“Mbre cast what will be the popular verdict. In these circumstances, it would not be surprising if the government took some form of stating the grounds of their com duct and inviting the arbitrament of public opinion upon them.”— Excepting the statement that the conservative organs clamor for intervention, which the foregoing must be acceded with great reserve^ Affairs in France. macmaiion's nkw ministry—TßOi; BLR ALRKADY BROUN. Paris, Nov'r. 22. — The Repub lique Erancaise, Gambetta’s or gan, demands that President Mac Mahon summon a congress of se nate and deputies to put an end to the crisis. The difficulties re ported this morning to have ari sen in the formation of anew cabinet, relate to the ministry of the interior and the ministry of justice, for which M. M. de Welch and Depever are respectfully pro vided, and other appointments in their stead must be made. Paris, Nov. 23.—The Mon item closes au article with “ We fear the marshal lacks resolution.’’ The committee of the left met and drafted the interpellation to be made in the chamber of depu ties as soon as the new ministry appears. The new ministry is definitely constituted as follows: President of council and miuister of war, Gen. Grimaiulel de Rnchebnvet; minister of foreign affairs, the Marquis de Bonneville; minister of the interior, M. de Welche; minister of justice, M. le Peletier; minister of finance, M. Dutilleuh minister of commerce, M. Ozene; minister of pub. works, M.Graett: minister of public instruction, M’ Faye; minister of marine. Admi ral Roussin. There is no reasonable doubt thaT the policy of the Adminis traimn rias had a wonderful effect in making the Southern people feel that they really form a part ot t lie -nation, and exist again up on a free and equal footing with the Northern people. Moreover, a regard for the Union lias been clearly developing itself until it is probable that if the privilege of secession was offered to them to-day they would not avail them selves of it. —Milwaukee Sent! nel , liejK Mr. George A.
