Yesterday morning Commissioner Mor ris, having been notified, repaired ; to a house situated on Wooster between Second and Third . streets; and there a scene of want and distress met his cjes Which chal lenges the force of words for description. Stretched upon an old mattress on. a ricke ty bead8tead, lay the cold 'aidlifeleM're mains of a white woman,' tbe vWorn aod sunken features of the deceased jdrpjctiay a slow and hunger tortured eath. S Ajound t ie body, crouched in atjludes of wretched grief were the five children of- the woman, who had died from fever and want," On a pallet near the children j UteU father lay all Iielples8 and pale fti victim, of. : ekknesa. There was nothing :ia thef honsec. either to nourish the sick man or satisfy the hunger of the poverty-stricken children,: The scene was one of most abject misery.'AU, F squalor and . wanfeThere'waanOt the1 shadow of comfort within i the 7 house. This was the Condition In which the house hold was found. '; A prominent :membef of the Ladies' Benevolent Association sought out this scene of distress, and fed the htu gry, soothed the sick and comforted the afflicted, and there . was . need of all Through the efforts of Commissioner Mor ris, a coffin was furnished for the deceased woman and the funeral expenses ' paid by the county. We mention this to show what a necessity there is in our city - for aiding the Benevolent Institutions which' do so much real benefit in our midst 7 Newer Mill t'" ' l:.-.! :.; We learn that it is pretty generally under- 8tiHMj that the reason why "Jackson alias Snow was taken from the Jail to Ww the "dy of the deceased colored man oo Sat urday, was in order to see if the wounds of the deceased would ? bleed afresh -when touched by Jackson.' a Tbia was br accord ance with a superstition among many. tg: norant colored people that if a person has "een killed and the person who kills him touches his body the wounds would bleed airesh.

Preliminary lureatlaratlon of the Case ot Jtm W. Barareaa In the may or Coort Pull Report of the Tea tlntur ef One of too Principal Wltneaoea Tn Defendant Com mitted to Jell V: to A usvrer the Charge ot Idnrder at the Next Term of the Superior Co art. -The City Court Room and ita surround ings yesterday morning were crowded by a seemingly anxious throng of spectators. It had become generally known that James W. Burgess, confined for an alleged com plicity in the murder of Charles Jackson, in this city, on Friday morning last, would ! have a preliminary hearing before the Mayor; hence the crowd. r!T-'4 " . ' - ': ' The prisoner was. brought in at .ft little after 0 o'clock and took his seat just in front of the rail. He looked pale: and anxious, and listened attentively to the examination of the, . witnesses. . . He . ha8 not had good health since his incarceration. The exami- j nation lasted from the opening of Court at about 9 o'clock until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, during which time only three witnesses were' examined," the statements j and cross-examinations' occupying nearly that entire time. - - Throughout the length of the session the Court Room remained crowd ed and was so thronged at 'one time as to make it necessary to lose the doors and scatter officers about the hall for the pur pose of preserving order. Below we give the testimony and cross-examination in full of Ransom McMillan, colored, a brother-in-law of the deceased, and also leader of the serenading band of which deceased was a member. He and Albert Thomson, also colored, are the principal witnesses in the case. Adam Em pie and John JL. Holmes, Esqrs., appeared for", the prisoner. The Court was represented by DuBrotz Cutlar, Esq., City Attorney. ' , , When the case was called five witnesses were sworn and on motion of Mr. Holmes all except McMillan, who took the stand to testify, were taken to another portion of the building, the object being , to keep the witnesses from hearing the testimony of each other. The testimony of McMillan ia just as it came from the lips of the witness, having been written out on the spot Ransom McMillan sworn. On Thursday night, me and Charley and Albert was on a serenade; we went down ' to Mr. Gilbert's bar, on Water between Dock and Market street; we went there and played three tunes outside and were invited in the bar room by the barkeeper; he asked us three up to take a, drink, after taking aj drink he took me aside and asked me what I would charge to go - to one house for him, one house only, he said; did not mention what bouse, I told him .1 would charge bim a dollar; be said be would not give me a dol lar; he would give me half a -dollar rand a drink and s smoke, and after we serenaded the house for him we went across the, street and serenaded there; he went with us. -After we serenaded them' two houses, there were two sailors with them, who he got ns to serenade ft house for. After we then came back to the bar when ine. Charley and Albert got back to the bar, Policeman MarUn and Mr. Burgess were sianctangvat the door talking outside; me and Albert and Charley Jackson went jntq thQ.Ibarkeeper, Hold the barkeeper we had returned; he aaldftirrigtCplay us1 ft' tund.

(he i-bar, room f and Water street: in a little while after that pistol was fired Mr. Jackson, the defendant in jail and the prisoner came, back to the bar room; I said to the defendant In jail, where was that pistol fired f he said he did not know. It sounded to him like it' was across the river; then lie was in a fever for me and ! Albert Thomsoo itud Burgess- to come out of the bar room ; be was ; shaking his hand and said. "That dam. nigger hM eitherVfiot my Vand or'broke it sdmewiy;' aA ,.it '.a'-whar.' niircr6T. 'defendant in lail exhibited his hand and showed marks WILMINGTON, of skin turned up little on- his right fore finger; the barkeeper told me and Albert; Thomson and Burgess to leave the baf room that he would get a relief directly. and we all left; as I turned the corner from Mr. Gilbert's - bar 'room ' there was a bend towards the corner of Market and Water; as I turned the bend Mr, James M. Cowan met me, and I said, which ; way : was that pistol fired? He said he did j not .know it sounded to him like it was across the river. As I got to the corper of Market and Water streets to go around the corner, Albert Thomson said to me, who is this laying down here I I went, back and ; examined, the person lying there and said it': was 'the deceased, Charley Jackson. ; Then I took hold of his hand, shook him, and called himj " Charley," " Charley "; but he did not answer and I says', Albert, let us go back to the bar room, them men have killed Charley Jackson. The deceased waa lying in the gutter on Water; street, on his left side, with his head towards the North and his hand resting on the curbstone; he was lying about five feet from the corner t Market street We wenf'back to the bar. and found Jackson, the defendant , in jail, in there; I says, either you or "Burgess shot Charley Jackson to-night; he said, what Charley t I said, the one that was in here playing that base; he didn't say anything; I came out and left him in there; went back to tile dead body. I met a policemen 'and called to him to 'catch BurgesB, who was going across towards the Market House; he did not run ; he couldn't run ; he was caught too quick; he was carried down to the , de ceased; I dbnt remember what he said; I was too much worried in mind..: A police man then took us all to the guard bouse. It was about half-past three o'clock, ; which" which was; about the time the pistol fired. It Was on Friday morning; about five minutes, elapsed between the time deceased ran out, pursued by Jackson and Burgess, and ' the report of the pistol. ' As soon as the pistol was fired they returned.having time enough in my opinion to come from Market street to the bar room from the lime' the pistol fired. , . -"-.-. The witness was here -cross examined at some length by Adam Era pie,-Esq., of the counsel for defence , The cross examina tion Is as follows: ' .: ' ' N " The statement I have made contains all I know about this matter. -1 don't think I made any mistake to-day; ' I may have omitted something the other day, as I was worried and bad. been out all night and I may have left something out . I am posi tive that I stated in my examination before the 'Coroner that Burgess threatened to shoot the deceased; that Burgess1 shook his fist In the face of Jackson the deceased was not all that I stated before the Coroner that Burgess did. f I did not see any pistol in Burgess' band in the bar room; I did not see him with a pistol at all; when he said he would shoot the deceased' he put his-hand in his pocket around under his coat, but he didjnot pull otit oby" pistol; at ; fthe ;quarre!f Burgess and deceased ,. were arm length apart; deceased did hot say anything ' ex cept this but that the pay waa $3 50; there Was nothing to hinder : Burgess from strik ing ithe deceased except it was my getting In between them. i There 1 nad'beetf no words between Jackson and the deceased; Jackson went right around and caught the. deceased not a word having been spoken between them; Burgess did notmaie any effort to strike the deceased, when Jackson: caught him the deceased by the throat Burgess stood off some distance, until the deceased broke his bold, from Jackson and ran.

Dr. 0.. M. Buie sworn: I made a post mortem examination of the body of the de ceased Charley Jackson, on last Friday, June 11th. There was a wound on the chin ; it was a ragged oblong wound from Its external appearance it might have been made by any cutting instrument It would not admit the probe at first, but on cutting ft- little the probe entered and passed around under the chin and clear to the back part of the head through the root of the tongue; the jaws were set very firmly together; the entire body was very stiff very little blood' to be seen, only a small quantity oozing from the ears; I found afterwards a wound in the right shoulder an inch and a half or two inches' from the crown t of the shoulder; that had the appearance of having been made by . a small ball; I probed that wound and the probe passed on through, sloping down slightly? A hard Jump was found just below the nip ple on th- left aide. The lump was ex tracted euu pr.iyedto be a ball ,said to be used hr what ia Vuuwn aj spercussibh cart- I Tidfi:f The balljjassed UirptigTihoth .bf the axyle or the shoulder and the chest sever ing the artery1 that passes 'froin' the iiad to the right arm, continuing through the au ricle of the heart; from thence to the place where - it was found, k Either one : of the wouuds would have killed him. Any thing passing from the Chin in that 'direction of the base of the skull would kill a man in stantly; the deceased must, have , been in good health Tn my opinion the" wounds killed him; the entire chest was filled:: with clotted blood; both wounds were made with balls of the same calibre. . j -. ;. .. After the conclusun of the testimony of Dr. Buie the ' case was rested and the de fence announced, that they; had no testi mony to offer. Messrs.

As this portion of the article does our' band an injustice, I ask permission to state the following and correct your : correspondent: Prof. Frankenfield of Philadelphia, , was with our band as out instructor, and ' had been with us in Newbern. less than a week before going to Charlotte. The statement that we also had two other performers from Philadelphia is erroneous, as is the state ment that our band-had been practicing for several weeks certain pieces to be used at Charlotte. ' ' We had no assistance except ing: Prof. FraBkenfield, except our own members, citigentof Jfoabern, and we -had not been practicing certain pieces for weeks to be used at Charlotte.
