"Ia pronouncing judgment upon the defendant I have nothing to aar aa to any opinion which I tua/ entertain ante Id* guilt or i .aocence. I amply take the verdict of the ianr aa rendered and treat the defendant aa a guilty man. If gBilty, and the jury have said so, then I think ke deserves the full Hark of the law. The judgment of the court, therefore, is that the defendant be sentenced 'to the State’s prison at bard labor far the term of 30 yean.” s ne Kona inaincmice ot the prisoner, which has character ised his attitude since be was first pieced on trial for his life, remained with him when the judge read the sentence and no tremor of emotion could be de tected in his countenance. The attorneys for the defendant gave notice of an appeal and Wilcox has been taken back to the Eliza beth City jail to await the order of the court on this point. The crime for which Wilcox was tried and sentenced, shroud ed es it wss and is in the deepest mystery, has attracted more widespread attention probably than any crime committed in this state within the last fifty Tears. The evidence against him was entirely circumstantial and while the opinion that be was guilty prevailed very exten sively, many people thought the evidence not sufficient to con vict him. There* was general awpriae at the verdict aa it was the prevailing opinion that he would be found guilty of ftrarder fat the first degree or acquitted. WOUfg —EATEST WH.

It has been Tns GAsarrs’s good fortune to get bold of an autograph letter of the late David Crockett. pioneer, author, phil osopher, statesman, soldier, and hero. The letter was addressed to John O. Cannon, Esq., Madisonville, Monroe County, Tcnn., and bears the Washington City postmark of Jan. 21 in big red letters. In lieu of the 2$-cent mark used in those days to designate amount of postage to be collected, it was inscribed "Free, D. Crockett,” since Crockett was at the time a member of Congress. The paper nsed is a good quality of watermarked linen and has a gilt edge.
