Mr. Wattereon was "a rebel of rebel*,""arid take?as the 'subject of bis lecture "The Comicalities, i Wfcitrificalitiea, and BeaU?es of Sou them ,hifk." A,, touching, description of the {Tarer features of Tifo in the South wa? i?btr?duced, and to thia the sympathie* of thc'audiince fresly responded. Th? lecturer was introduced,.by Parke Qodwin, who ??id that to no person inore than, to ^ir. Watterson, ?as due the fact ,that the North "lio l?bger welcomed the South to hospitable graves, but ?to our hoa-.e? and our hearts* best affections." 4Rer this graceful : presentation, Mu i Watterson roser aadadvajaced to the edge of the platform. , Jn tho. audience were u>any Southern residente of this city, tb whom his face and mariners were doabt .,1???.familiar, Hit there was a general and friendly curiosity to see .and hear a gen tleman, whose name and, political senti ments are so widely known. Mr. Wat terson: is a man seemingly about 40 years old, of medium height and frame, with .brow*ihair,< a ;B?ouet?obn of a lighter jabado, and a healthy, colcr in bis face. ! His figuro is not quite erect, and he pos . Btcsea' grace neither of attitude nor move ment. Hi? voice ls. clear and rather agreeable, though by no mea qa melo diou:, and bis utterance, is. slow, distinct end ?omcwhat. monotonous, fie makes' ?no use of gesture,'nor'does ne- seek to render1 striking passage? more impressive by declamation.' i He id a straightforward ;8beakpi>, bui.-. wbatoyer, his manner may be inj the excitement bf a political dla 'cai'sstpb. he'Bfi?wed lost evening little of 1 the enthusiasm of aa orator. ' ! Iff it he true, said Mr. Watterson," that -4 noaa ir ?e only animal that ,laugbst it ' is also true that he is .the only animal having tho capacity to make himself laughable.' The foibles, weakness, and rotcibrtunea of i hui. neighbors aro what ' men laugh.at; bf? finds no amusemcpt in hi? own* We find the best instances ol i enjoyment 'Wheh '?bme'one else payVthe . piper. Humor1 ia the 'record of passing events. . .^o? this reason each nation pro duces fl humor peculiar, to itself. The average American does dot read the {"Pickwick Papers." The amiable Texan ' who wears a spake for ? bat-biind would stare with blank amazement at storici which conyulBe all cockneydom. Then is i>. humor which Is 'Universal and pro verbial. md yet it may b? said of everj people, ''By thsif'jokeft ye shall.knori them." Thackeray hrs said that the wi of Fielding lights up a rogue.!ike a po licem?n's lantern. With' us'it is not tb? husband or tho Hriob who" ia ??rhesd. I ia tho widow, ?toa .small boy, and tb? mother-in-law. You remember the trav eler who asked the Mississippian if i w?s wcrth' while for him to carry a pistol The'reply waa?^ "Weil,; straAge^' yoi mout be rae ?ix months'andnobwantii but if you did want it you'd want.it.aiv fully.'"' Such wit could'have its origij only in Amerjcn, and it 'ls perhaps her only thai it can c?j'apprecU6ed.

Wo ?peak of a day that ie gone? of a race that .has passed into history,, whose fields for a century were given np to nong and dance and "sanburat mirth." ' Kr. Watterson here began his illustra* tiona of Southern humor,: describive* briefly the character of the wot-ks enUr tied "Sut Lovingood,". "Major .Tone's Courtship," and 'Captain Simon Suggs," and reading one or more moderately long extracts from each. .. "Major Jono's Courtship/' waa a story of interior Southern lifo, and dealt wi.th clean homespun. The ch?raoterd were few and-simple ; ita ad vent ursa were bounded by tho barn-yard and the hearthstone, but it possessed , u njaturel necs and a genuine humor which Vere captivating. Mr.' Watterson read from this story the culmination of tho court ship, ? when Mai. Jones, having secured from h ia nwo?dJi'.arl a nnuniu *het ?hC will always keep .tho very large present he ts about.to glvO her, hides himnelf ju the meal-bag which she hangs up for the reception of tho mysterious gi.\? i -''Capt, Simon Suggs" stood out from the ; canvas, on which a local Rubens had pointed his .portrait. To th? South Was what Pickwick was toiEngland. The Captain finally died, and if beaven was to each the realization of his fondest hopes, Capt, Suggs was now, a rod nosed angel, mount ed on a rainbow, with glittering stars all about: him, and 'giving' leesons ?in bia favorite game cf poker to Jupiter, Mare and Saturn. ' j Thc humor in these compositions ia true to what was in the South. A change luis taken place.' No more is tho repr? sentatif v Southern man taken to be a tyraggiog bully. In the meridian of their prosperity Southerners, wore an easy going, pleasure-loving people. MeQ. liv ing on great estates, With few cares'pr excitements/ore likely to grow indotent. Tho gentlemen of *ho South bad plenty: of time, and he thought ho lind plenty of rooney to use ; and the lower orders imi tated his example. But the crash came, 'mid tile pretty fabric fell. - The great *v*d the small, tho good and the evil, vere all ^Engulfed in one widespread, overwhelm ing ruin. There is now nothing of that ,gilded structure!' it IB no longer fash* 1 lonable or respectable to fritter timo away in idle, costly pleuro. The ; battle scarred and time and coreworn South is most unlike the South that was. I have purposely refrained from touch ing upon the humor of the colored'people Of the South. Their humor is not Amer ican, it ia peculiar to themselves, ?nd .be sides, it \? SO associated with misery that I have 'always felt my pity moved by it, not my mirth. Tho colored race in God's shadow npon the dial 'of American pro gress, whoso cabalistic figures i the wisest aro not oblo to read. I only know, and ?herein am happy, that slavery is gc-q? ^rith tho bag and baggage of a? obsolete past"' 1 Mr:-Watterson paid an eloquent tribute to the Southern woman, of whom the Worst thing that ever, could be, said ww that she was faithful to' a bad caus?, "Bat if she had her triumphs io the War," he continued, ''she has bad her still greater ones in peace. Which, ; has spread before her harder ?tr?ala, still. Brpughj bp to luxury and leisure, she has since har! brought before her the unfamiliar broom stick; -thc vacant clothes-chest, andi tin empty cupboard." The South of the past is gone. Th< wide verandah, tillea with pleasure-Eeeh lng folk ; the great estate, the' ?syB?cu which refused to recognise relations u progress and civilisation, have pass?t away. The poor, weak person who live only to amuse himself is thought nothinj of in tho South. If nroaelvtiam in th: supreme joy of mankind, New Bnglam must be pre-eminently happy, , for. th ambition of tho South U to out-Yanko the Yankee. . A New England poet, a ?the beginning of tho war, hearing th ?rtil.?ry in the battle of Manassas, rum bliag among. the Virginia hills,. said t mo : . "I_hope your people. will..win titi battle. We shall ultimately conquer, bu I do not want the restored Union ? nail dishonored Union."1 Thepoet's y?arnin was for a great Republic founded in uni versal education, with the buttress an bell-tower, the sunlight and starlight c uuivorsal suffrage You cannot t-unc the eagle, j ! And you dare not barm the dove ; Bc sure the gate that's closed to hate . Will open wide to love. ' .r-iX 1 GE*.

I shall mete out to you such punishment as the crime meriti, and as lu my judgment will bo adequate to meet tho demands of justice. Under tho law I can only impose a fine and imprisonment. Judge Townsend then pronounced the sentence bf tho Court that the prisoner, F. L. Cardoso, should be confined in the county Jail for two year? and pay . a fine of four thousand dollars, or, in default of payment,.to be imprisoned for, an addi tional period of ono year.

In that year the law was passed providing accused persons, with counsel, the effect of which WU''te dose the prisoners' mouths entirely.
