Nothing had been heart! from Col. Price and his regiment of volunteers. (For lh Baltimore Sun.l Captaik Dixon S. Mii.es, "Govkrnoe of MoNTKnEY.1' The glorious reputation won by the "Marylavd line" in the campaigns of the revolution was, by their immediate descendants, fully sustained during the last war with Great Britain, in the hard fought battles on the northern frontier, at North Point and Fort McHenry. The plains of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma and Ihe heights of Monterey attest that the sons of old Maryland still are, at La fayette said of them in his toast al Charleston, "gam chickens, who stand cutting." In th present war with Mexico there is no State In the ln ion which hns done more to uphold the honor ol the country, or turnislied a larger quota of gallant spirits.

The conduct of her Knlgelv, Binggold, Watson, Kenly, Bowie and a host iif others establish her claim to courage and patriotism. Ihe gentleman wnose name neaus tins article, is another of the gallant spirits which she has sent to Ihe field; as a Bnttimoreun we all hve just cause to be proud of him. His demeanor as acuizen, was as exemplary as his conduct as a soldier has been courageous. The appointment of "Vovmior of Monterey," which (Teueral Taylor has conferred on him, i but a just appreciation of his worth. Educated at West Point, he entered the army some seventeen years ago, since which time he has faithfully and honorably met every demand on bin as an officer.

Al the commencement of hostilities, he resigned his post as paymaster at Pensacola, and joined his regiment, (7th infantry,) preferring the active and perilous trials of a soldier to Ihe safer duties of a commissary. At Fori Brown be bore a mowi conspicuous part. During the storming of that fort he was on his feet for tlO consecutive hours; and confiding in his known steadiness of courage and skill, to hiin was assigned the hazardous duty of cutting: down a traverse on the outside of the fort within the reach of nil Ihe heiivv batteries of Ma-tumorns. With Ihe aid of 1) men, he accomplished this desperate task, thus enabling our cannon lo bear directly on Ihe towu After this he was deputed by Geu. Taylor to advance to the town ol Cmnn'rgo, which, with only 81 men he took, although it has a population of fi.000, and was supported by the Mexican chiet (Canales) with 'JOO rancheros.

When Gen. Taylor arrived at this nlnce, he conferred on the captain the honor oUeadiiisr the advaiiem lo Monterey. The dangers which beset such auommnnd'are now made familiar to the readers of your paper. How ho deported himself in the glorious battles of the 21st, and 23d, wo till know, At ihe head of his column he scaled the height and won for his country, as the prire of his vn-lor, the fortres, known as the "Bishop's Palace." His constant, untiring energy, courage and skill, Properly pointed him out as the person who should act ns "Governor" of the conquered oily, and Gen. Taylor has given another evidence of his good sense, by conferring the honor on him.

All who know the gallant Captain, are confident that in Ibis new capacity lie will, as he has done all others, acquit lumseit to the entire satisfaction oi tne army and the government.

The New Orleans Tropic, alluding lo the recent gale, snys, "some of our friends, who have nautical experience and a particular acquaintance with the Const of Florida and the Gulf, express their fears that Our squadron in Ihe Gulf, should the gate have reached it, must have suffered severely," On the other hund, the New Orleans Courier snys, in relation to the subject: "It is the opinion of nautical men of judg ment and experience, with whom we have con versed, that the late gale or ramer tornado uia not extend as fur as ihe station of the squadron otf Vera Cruz. It is believed that the great swell, experienced uff Brazos Santiago, which prevented the mails from being put on board Il L- .1.... 1 uie uuivesioii, was eauseu oy iimi iuihuuu hut very little wind was blowing where th steamer lay.

If this be so, Coin. Conner's ship were safe from all damage." From the City of Mkxico. We find the following in two or three of the New York papers of Saturday, as nn extract from a letter received in that city, dated "City of Mrxiro, Q.V 110. "The proposition of the President of the United Slates for negotiating a peace, will be the first question considered by the Mexican Junta, "We have no doubt the consideration of the overture by the Junta will result in a consultation of a commission to be appointed by the two Towers. "Supposing no new demand is to be attempted to be forced upon Mexico by Ihe Government of the United States, Mexico will assent upon certain conditions, to a change of the boundary of existing treaties, to Ihat Ihe boundary of the United Slates may include, thenceforward, the hitherto Mexican territory of Texas."

The steamboat Oregon, which loft New York on Saturday afternoon, met wif an accident about six o'clock, on the other side of Hurl Gate, which compelled her to return to New York. Affer she passed through the Gate, she came in collision with a barque, the bowsprit of which carried away the smoke pipe of the Oregon, and completely raked her deck from the pipe to the stern. All ihe mails intended for the steamship Caledonia, which was lo leave on Saturday, are on toard the and unless the Caledonia waits for their arrival in Boston, Ihev must of course be left behind, as similar mails have been twice before ibis. The owners of the Oregon, however, immediately on her return, got another boat in readiness, and they confidently believed thnt they would succeed ln1inr tlm moilii in ltoston liAfum this riult. donia left for Halifax.

Fires On Saturday morning, between 2 and 3 o'clock, a number of houses were set on fire in the northern part of the city. A long row of new houses, not quite finished, on Wood street, above Duke, were fired at each end, and six of them destroyed belonging to Jacob Murphy, Israel Jenkins, and John Older not insured. A carpenter shop of Thomas B. Patterson was also destroyed about the same time. Other atlcmpls were aisotnade in the vicinity.

Moraijs OF Boston. At a recent trial in Boston in which the jury were nnnble to agree, Judge Ward said Ihat as many as three witnesses on one side or the other must have committed perjury on the trial. Iu remarking upon the contradictions in the evidence, in his charge on Wednesday, he said, that such an exhibition of false swearing was calculated lo create a well grounded apprehension that there is no safety for properly, or life, or lilierty in Boston.

Stewart, now Lieut. Colonel of ihe Baltimore to his brother, and give a hasty sketch of many incidents connected with the battle: Camp Montrrry, Mrxioo, 27th September, lS-Iti, Our little battalion was marched amidst the heavy cannonading of four Forts, and the first man shot in action was one of mv own company.

Amidst the destructive fire of grape, canister and round shot we were ordered to charge on one of the batteries, and many a brave fellow bit the dust. Stumbling over Ihe ilend nnd dying, onward we rushed, but were ordered to retire, and again we rallied, and again to the charge. Here the battalion became scattered in consequence of conflicting orders, but no lime was lo be lost; onward, cried the brave and gnllitit Watson, and onward we went the brave Mississippians (rifle) wiih us, and the Fort was soon taken, leaving the ground literally covered with the yellow-skinned Mexicans. Gen. Worth had now the upper Fort and wo the lower.

This action was continued nine hours, under one of the most incessant fires on record. My gallant pet was the tirst ot the slurs and stripes that tloated in the supposed to be invulnerable batteries of Monterey. It wus in this charge that poor Walson tell. He was too brave a man to full by the hands of such men. Al Ibis moment I also fell from Aitustum, having just recovered from sickness ana sun weakly, "out ms ootf.y, sunt my faithful followers; but up I jumped, and a twelve pounder whizzed within an inch of my bund and rilled mv luce with dust, uinersiuay speak of my acts; I will not.

I however es caped, although a report of my death was gen erally thought true. Next day an armistice was agreed upon, and two months will decide whether we are to be nt peace, or the war to be carried into Africa. Wo lost in action, ti killed and 'X wounded; 7 wounded were out of mv company, l'oor Hurt, my color sergeant, lost his right arm, and two others their left arms, whilst two others lie dangerously wounded. Col. Wntson, while rushing un to the cannon's month, (die last words I heard him utter,) exclaimed, "Who now dare sav American volunteers cannot be depended upon in any light.

I have succeeded "Col. Win. IT. Watson in command of the Hattnlion, and am now acting ns their Lieut. Colonel.

J. 9, We make the following extracts from a letter of a Baltimore volunteer lo his brother, containing ninny items of interest: Camp near Montkrkv, Mrxioo, September 1S I0. Dear Brother: "We have met the enemy and they are ours." I have done my duty as a soldier; nave met me enemies ot my country, and afler six days hard fighting, our army litis come off victorious, i lie enemy lias surrendered the city, and Ihe only fort of note they had left. Our arms succeeded in cnrrvingeighl or ten forts and batteries, and in taking some II) pieces of cannon. I have come out ol the battle unharmed, but mnnv hair-breadth escapes I have passed through.

It grieves me to snv our battalion has suil'cred severely. Our much esteemed and lamented Col. Win. H. Watson, full mortally wounded by a musket ball passing through his jugular vein, causing death in few minutes, while lending on our battalion within 80 yards of iheir Mexican forts.

He never spoke after he received his wound, but motioned lo Lieut. Howie of our company, to receive his sword. Col. Watson died the death of a brave nnd humane man, whose daring deeds of valor old Maryland may never be ashamed lo own, nor those of her brnve and undauuted sous, who on that glorious day so Promptly obeyed the orders of their nolile and gnlliuit commander. Our Colonel first commanded us lo charge at the point of the bayonet.

After our battalion had drawn Ihe fire of the enemies' forts, musketry and cannon, the noble Tennessee and Kentucky volunteers Hanked olflo the left, and wiih their unerring rillcs told a dreadful lule to many a yellow skin. We were not satisfied with taking one, but carried three forls; in double quick time. As for my individual self, I never fired shot until we succeeded in car rying the fort at the point of the bayonet; I then gave my lond to the retreating enemy, ami did my best to bring some of them to a dead halt, and have no doubt but "a Trojan ghost attended every shot." Col. Watson, with two other officers, was buried in a small house, situated between forts ISoa. 1 and under the superintendence ol Ma jor Graham.

The Mexicans refused ceasing hostilities on the second dav, so that we might bury our dead, and actually shot the head off of one man wane assisting in the burial ot our Colonel. Of our company, two were killed, Alexander Ramsey, formerly of Baltimore, and Joseph Worrey, of near Wheeling, Va. Wounded slightly, Jnmes Henry and John Allen, of Baltimore, and Henry J. Elling, of New York; the las! two are my tent-mates. And many others had different parts of their accoutrements shot off of their body.

Sergeant George Herring, son of Mr. Henry Herring, of Baltimore, was killed on Ihe first day of the battle, by a cannon ball. He died the death of a brave soldier and officer. Samuel Gelston, (one of my tent-mates,) wishes Mr. Wndsworlh to know that he is well, having come out of the battles unhurt.

All the company are as well as could be expected after the fatigues we have had to undergo for the last week past. George Pearson died this morning of liter complaint. lie was Ihe son of Mr. Joseph Pearson. James Bcachnm is well and in good spirits.

You will please tell Mr. Klins Thompson that his brother-in-law is well, and Ihat liidgely's Artillery did not lose a single man, and bad only four wounded. J. C. i Thk Army in Nkw Mkxico.

An extra front the ollice of the Liberty Tribune, dated on Tues day lust, contains a long and interesting letter from John T. Hughes, its correspondent al Santa Fe. It is dated on the 17th and gives a daily account of Gen. Kearney's expedition toSanTonie. It contains about -100 inhabitants; but at this time about 3000 persons, from all the neighboring villages, were assembled lo celebrate theiinniversary of Ihe "Holy Vision." On the arrival of Gen.

Kenrnev and his troops. they proceeded to make a dazzling exhibition of ineir ceremonies, so as io impress mem wnn au idea of the pompous character of the church. The General nnd staff took their quarters in town, the volunteers encamped in the suburbs. About eight o'clock at ntghl the town was brilliantly illuminated by the pine fagots that blazed from nil Ihe walls of the cily, from the tops of the churches and the private houses. For four hours, there was a continual discharge of fire-arms, throwing ol sky-rockets, and lire balls.

The elements were red with long streams of lire for 3110 feet high. The rockets would sometimes explode in the air, and aguin fall among the crowd and explode, producing great confusion. While this was going on, in an other purt of the square there were some WW persons, mostly women, sitting on the ground, listening lo a eoinedy, or some kind of theatrical exhibition. Kvery Ihing said was of course in the Spanish language. Next day the celebration was renewed.

The church was crowded to overflowing, though ample enough to contain two thousand persons. Six priests officiated at the altar, which was lighted up with twenty-four candles. General Kearney and staff officers, and some of the officers o( the volunteer regiment were present. During the whole time, singing, instrumental music and the firing of musketry, wore strangely commingled. Towards evening, horse racing, dancing and gambling occupied the alien-tion of the throng.

Col. Doniphan remained in command of the troops at Sanla Fe, attended to the administration of the laws as Governor of the lerritory, superintended the erection of Fort Marey, on the hill overlooking the towni and complefed, with the aid of WiTlard Hull, the "Organic Law and Constitution" for the government ol' the Territory. A small printing press was found at Santa Fe, which was used lor printing itiblio laws, (Va, but it is said (hat General Cearney will be under the necessity of sending a manuscript copy of the constitution and laws of the Territory to the Stntes for publication. This was to be done by the next express, which was to leave in about fifteen days. Six dragoons and one volunteer had deserted from Ihe army, but It was not known they had fled.

The henlth of the army had grcntlv improved. Dr. Vaughn, who had been ell at'Bent's Fort, with twenty-one sick men, arrived at Sanlo Fe on the 10th, in company with Lieut. Ingles of the 1st dragoons- Six of Ihe men had died four at Ihe Firt, and two on the route. Second Lieut.

Jnmes Oldham, of the company from Jackson, had been tried by a court his ear had been bleeding a good deal; I thought it was the best time to net it over; the axe was just out Ihe door; I got il and went to the bed, and hit him right aeross the side of the head iust over the eve; it was a very hard blow, sir, that was, the hardest one that I had ever hit him; I heard the bones crack and ihe axe sunk in like; I knowed it was done then; the blood come; ha didn't say a word, not a whimper; he only give a heave, a sigh like; I went right out, and carried the axe down to the wood-pile and left it (here; I never thought of looking at it; I went directly and called Kenben and told him Wash was dying; he weal and told Mrs. Lyon and called Jim, and that's all I know except that he was very bad all that day and died that night; and I was very sorry, indeed I was, as soon as I heard that he was dead. lln renlv to interrogation, he said that he knew nothing of the puncture described by Dr. iHcMnuus, as having penetrated the right eye to the ball, from the exterior angle of the frame of the eve; so that this must have beea caused bv the bursting of the flesh from the external torce of the blow. In the foregoing confession, there is exhibi ted in detail one of the most remarkable murders that we ever remember to have heard or read of.

Originating, according to the prison er, in an ill-defined and absurd notion thai can scarcely be called jealousy, though his mind may have been beguiled wiih that idea, the crime was four times committed in (uct; a steady perseverance in unrelenling.cold-blood-ed murder that stands unparalleled, we should suppose, iu the annals of crime. With lime to reflect after the fust attack, entirely unsuspected, the unhappy victim recovering from the effect of the blow, the wretched murderer projects and carries on the work of death, as the Attorney General observed, "by peaeemeal." Time and again, always with a deep heavy slumber between him and the suspicions of the helpless object of his relentless hate, he returns with whetted appetite to the feast of blood, as if the demon within grew and matured upon the unnatural repast, until the deed was perfected in death. We should have been pleased, if our space would have permitted us, to make some comments which the occasion suggests, relative to the peculiar features of the case, as the facts present them; and also upon the character of circumstantial evidence. The intelligent reader will, however, readily perceive the points to which we advert, and be led to similar re flections. The prisoner was brought out on Saturday, and sentence of death was passed upon him by his Honor Judge Briee.

ClltcuiT CotTHT. Carter v. W'astivirton tt al. The report of this case in the Intelligencer and Sun was inaccurate in vnrious important particulars, and omits altogether the only point in debate: The bill does nol charge that Washington, by a fraudulent conspiracy wiih the Messrs. Gardners, and upon their agreement that there should be no lien or trust in their favor, procu red "a large stock ol goods on credit," and Ihat thre davs after the receint of the coods here.

Washington con veyedthein in trust. The ground of the bill is altogether different. It is a bill by Carter, as a retired partner, after a dissolution, the terms of which he alleges to have been, 1st, that he withdrew his whole capital in goods, at cost charges and expenses, and made a further purchase of $3,000 of goods from Washington, leaving Washington the residue of the stock; and that Washington agreed to apply the slock and books to the payment of the debts, and that i. i i k.d.l IIO WOUIU 1IIUCIII1I1I VIII IOI BUU U1MU HHI1U- loss in the nremises. It further charges, on in formation and belief, Ihnt after the dissolution Washington went lo liainmore anu proeureu an extension from his creditors by a fraudulent conspiracy with the two houses of Gardner, and Gardner creditors also, represent ing by their authority that they would extend for the months of March, April and May, if the others would.

The bill charges that Washington agreed that there should be no preference, but does not charge that he pledged the Gardners to i. i mat etieci, or una itmuurny iu uu eu, uini Washington got credit (on his own account and after the dissolution) for other goods (to an in considerable amount) in consequence ot the al- ledged statements of the Gardners, in reply to inquiries that he was good. Ihe wfioie slock of s-oods conveyed to Mr. Carlisle, with Ihe exception of a few hundred dollars, was the old stock belonging to Washington prior to the partnership, with such additions as had been made during Ihe five nionlhs of partnership, out of which Carter had withdrawn his cardial (S and the purclmseatdissolution, The bill does not deny the bona fides of the debts secured by the deed, but alleges that a portion of them were not debts of the firm of Carter Washington, but individual debts of Washington, and seeks to have the goods winch were of the partnership (and not the inconsid erable amount purchased by Washington subsequently) applied lo Ihe payment of the part nership debls. Hie trustee (Mr.

Carlisle) is made a nominal party merely, and Ihe bill prays that he be declared trustee for the general creditors of the partnership. He was the attorney of ihe preferred creditors. The answer ot asiiington, it may De proper to say, is filed, and wholly denies the alleged terms of dissolution, so far as thev purport any lien on the slock; and avers that he bought out Carter, paid him his whole interest, and, in consideration of his personal contract to indemnify Curler, and the withdrawal by Carter of his Whole capital, lie asuingion; uecaina me soie owner of the slock the same being fully as signed lo him by Carter; and thai ho carried on ms business puuuoiy as a soie iruuor, wiinpun-lie notice to that effect, as he had done prior lo the short partnership with Carter. He also denies everv of the frauds alleged, and par ticularly the alleged agreement that there should be no hen or preference, lie avers that his transaction wiih Ihe Gardners was Ixma file, and proper and necessary to enable him to procure seasotlBDie supplies io carry on uis uu- siness and meet all his engagements, for which purpose he applied to tliem as his lar gest creditors. The answers of the Gardners take the same grounds of fact stated by Washington; aver that he represented himself ns only under temporary embarrassment, and requiring seasonable goods and advances; that tliey made no representations whatever as to his credit, (charged in the bill on hearsay;) that they entered info no agreement with other creditors; that they were by far the largest creditors of the firm; that ihe whole debt secured was incurred for the stock of goods now held in trust; that the debts charged to be an individual debt of Washington, was his debt contracted for the same stock of goods prior to the short partnership wiih Carter, and for goods sold and delivered and advances made lo Washington afler the dissolution, to enable him lo carry on the busi-nesa which the complainanfalleges was for hit benefit and indemniiy; iht "ch sales and advances were made upon the faith of this security, tnken afler public notice of the retirement of Carter, and upon Washington's sole possession and ownership, as a sole trader, carrying on his business without any lien or trust for Carter, and without any suspicion of any such lion, the existence of which they deny, upon Ihe facts of sole possession, and trading, and upon the of Washington, and upon Ihe silence and the acts of Carter.

The discussion lias turned altogether upon the taw of partnership wiih regard to Ihe application of what were partnership assets, in cases like that presented by the pleadings. The court hns not yet delivered its opinion upon the motion, which is upon bill and answers. This corrected outline cf the case is rendered necessary in justice fo Mr. Washington and Ihe preferred creditors, bv the inaccurate report in yesterday's pnper.iV. hit, Northebk E.NiEttPtttsK.

Fnll Confession of Jos. Alexander, Negro, Note confined in Baltimore jait, unjtr convii tion of tlit murder of Washington Shtppard, mulatto; puyt in th prtstiie of his foHt.v, Chat. H. Pitts, and taivii doirit at hit oirn desirA, oht rexrtr. On 'Wednesday morning last upon an intimation from the prisoner, Alexander, we proceeded to the jail in company with his counsel, Mr.

Pilt, who had so faithfully defended him upon his trial. Conducted by Mr. Myers, the deputy warden, to the cell, the same in which we had previously visited Horn and McCurry.we found Joe standing by the lire, heavily ironed, though not inconveniently, around the feet. He was very calm and evidently composed as to the certainty of his fate. After a few words of conversation, he observed that he wished lo make a clean breast in relation to the murder, and was desirous that the people should know the whole truth of the matter.

He then sat down and detailed to the following purport his agency in the death of Sheppard. We put his "confession" into consecutive form, and suitable lanTttnire, nt the same time premising that a considerable portion of it was elicited by interrogation: I acknowledge that I killed Washington Sheppard, and I am sorry for ii; I was sorry for it as soon as I knew that he was dead, but the devil was in me and pushed me on to the deed until it was finished. I knew that if I was found out I should have to lose my own life, but I did not think I should be found out. The reason why I killed Wash was because I was jealous of him like; there was a little girl lived there, a yellow girl whose name was Sally, she was the daughter of Margaret the cook, and was about II years of age; I had a fancy for her, and told her that I would marry her when she wus old enough; she said, no, she wouldn't have me; I knew that she liked Wash and that Wash liked her; and Wash and me had some words about it; we never quarrelled about it, vou know, but Wash had said to me that I shoufdn't have her. Well, that Sunday night, (the night of the 17th August, ISIS,) I saw Wash and her loving one another in the entry; I was looking through the window and saw them, and it was then that I thought about killing him; I did expect, too, that when he was out of the wnv I should get a snug pluce there, and get Sallv after awhile, and live there pretty comfortable.

That night all the men were gone away from the place, and Wash was a sleeping in the gar dener's house, and I was in the stable, and I got up just as the clock was striking twelve and went nnd got the axe, and then went to the place where Wash was; I could hear that he was fast asleep, and I could see where his head was laying; it was light enough for that; I then lifted the axe and struck him, but I felt that it was not so hard a blow as I meant to strike when I raised the axe, for mv conscience seemed to stop my arm; I could not strike again then, if I hadn't thought he was dead; I concluded that he was killed, as he made no noise and didn't move. I then went up to the house and told Mrs. Lyon, and she told me to call Mr. Stewart Wilson; he got up, and we went down to the place where Wash was; I expected to find that he was dead, but he wasn't; he was all bloody, but he didn't know nothing; he was in a sort of "stupishuess," as the madam said yesterday. Mrs.

Lyon gpoke of his being in a sort of stupor. didn't push or drive anything into his ear at all; The reader may remember that two punctures were seen inside of the ear, and suggested to the witnesses the idea that a fork had been used; admitting Joe's account to be correct, the apparent puncittres must have resulted from the blow, its violence having caused a bursting effect from within the ear.j I could not have seen to put anv thing into his ear; I had nothing to use in that wav; and I never thought about doing it. The next day the doctor came, and Wash got better. The second time I attempted it, was on the next Friday night; there was no body in the house but females, and the boys, (Mrs. Lyon's young sons,) and Wash, and I.

He was sitting asleep in the chair in the kitchen; he had gone fast asleep, and I went out down to the wood pile and got the axe; I set it down out the door, and went in; there was no light burning; I found he was dead asleep; got the axe and went to him and felt for his head, and then 1 hit him with it; it knocked him out of the chair and he fell on the floor; he begun to cry; I pitched the axe out of the door, and went up to Mrs. Lyon's room to tell her something was the matter with him again; as I went out of the kitchen I heard him gelling up to follow me; Mrs. Lyon told me to get him tip stairs to her door, and me and the boys went down; Wash was getting up stairs the best way he could; we helped him up, and I kept on attending to him; just as caretul-ly as ever, till he got better. I thought I hit him pretty hard that time, but his head must have give way like as he sat; there was a good deal of blood come from his ears and nose, and tracked him up the stairs. This is the time the madam sent me after the doctor; I tended on him and he was getting well prettv fast.

The next week, it was a Wednesday night, Jim and Margaret went into town, about 9 o'clock; Wash had been put to bed and was most well, and thought he would go a gunning the next dav; after Jim wa gone and they was gone to bed up stairs, I thought it was a good chance to finish it, and I went out down lo the woodpile and got the axe; here he was questioned relative to the testimony of Margaret who had met him that nitrht before she left, near "the two cherrv trees," and heard a "dead weight" fall; and which wn supposed to have been the axe, and the impression of which was believed lo have been discovered in the grass, by Miss Lyon and her brother the next day.) I don't remember meeting Margaret that night at all; I might have don? so. but I know I hadn't anything with me, and I didn't throw anything to Ihe ground; I went down after Jim went awny and got the axe and fetched it up to the kitchen door; I left it outside of Ihe kitchen door and went in; Wash was fast asleep; the light was burning; I went and got the axe and come and hit him on the head; he sort of roused and began to cry; he seemed to be in a kind of stupishness again; I put the axe out of the door and went into the entry with the light; I I didn't want to be in the room where he was; soon afler this Jim come and knocked at the door, and I put the light out; here he was questioned as to where the axe was then, Jim in his evidence having described a noise like the putting an axe on the floor and letting the handle fall agninst the wall; the axe was then outside the door; the noise that Jim must have heard was my stumblinirover something at the door, going from the entry into the kitchen; as soon as Jim come in I went to the hearth and lit the candle; I put it out because I knew that I had just hit Wash; I didn't know much what I was about with it; I knew it had to be lit, and I lit it: Jim went out down to the irnrdoner's house and got his bed; pretty soon after he came back Wash roued and said Jim went to him, and wiped some blood away from his ear; he. then went oft" to sleep again, I believe, and I went into the entry and soon afler laid down and went to sleep. It will be remembered that Jim testified (hat he remained with Wash until about 1 o'clock, and then, passing throuarh the entry where Joe was lying asleep, went into the breakfast room, put out the candle, leaving it standing upon the table in that room; the next morning, however, it was found in ihe kitchon, upon the floor, between the hearth and Wash's bed. evidently burnt ottt nothing but a sntilflving in the socket.

The theory of the Stale was that Alexander got lip afler Jim had gone to bed, procured the candle, lighted it and set it where it was found, the better to see to do the final deed. On this point Joe, in reply to inquiry, says: I know the candle was found in the kilchen burnt out to a sniilT, but I don't know that Jim took it into the breakfast room, for I was asleep when lie went to bed. If he took the candle out of the kitchen, as he says, Wash must have got tip himself and irone arid got it and lit it, and put it where it was found; and if lie did I think Jim must have gone to bed and left it burning; or it might have been light enough for Wash to find it. I didn't wake till just earlv uny-nrettK, ana when 1 went into the kitchen, Ihe candle was burnt out. According to the evidence, Jim went to bed at about half-past 1 o'clock, leaving, as he says, about five or six inches of candle.

Joe must have been up toon after 5 o'clock, and therefore the candle must have been burning nearly or quite Ihe whole of the intervening three hours and a half; but how or by whom it was transferred from one room to the other and re lighted, if extinguished by Jim, remains unexplained. Hut the confession of Joe a to the final act is as follows. I.
