Tne Killing of Perrin. there was anything wrong In him, lt died when he died. He. then proceeded to quote authorities "or law in BUpport'of the position assumed by the defence, and cited, among ot?ers, -numerous passages tro m Bishop on Criminal Law, assuming that ignorance ot fact stood' upon an entirely different ground ttiHTi i hut, of. Jguorancw of law; that, if the prisoner waa under the Impression that the deceased was endeavoring to get the bolt -mentioned-rn the evidence, he waa not only legally but morally right in commission of thedeed; it was noe a queBlion of actual fact, but only of Impression. He- further amued that, ll he reasonably concluded that he ls In danger, not caused by his own careless? ness, aJHl-.lt should turn out that he was mis? taken, even then he ls Justified, although the Hie ot another be taken, ir any one is as? sayed, he further showed by authorities, by another with a deadly weapon, he ls not bound to retreat and thereby encourage the assail? ant to attack him. He said the code of morals lata down by the preceding counsel for the Btate would Berve for a community ot angels, but we are finite creatures, and it would be to us Bomeihing unnatural and never would be established by any Jury. " Exhibiting the bolt, he'said ir any man could Bay that It was nota deadly weapon, then, Indeed, the ase of com? mon sense was* passed, for lt was evident that the mer? falling ol that instrument Irom the window would be enough to endanger the life ef a mao. without ihe use ol any propelling fqrcA~-Ha sald.lhatamonglhe rights still leit to man was the, .grand, oAd. right ot self de? fence, and lbs .law recognizes lt In every re Cqunsel then commented upon the tacts of the case in a skin ol' and elaborate argument, how, .the testimony ot the physician gave Scientific proof that the deceased was advan? cing oo prisoner at the time oi the commis? sion of toe deed; that prisoner neverlaid the .weight of his Anger upon the deceased; that the term made u.-e of by the: prisoner to the deceased was no legal offence, even If lt was not. Intended In Joke, and In the present case It was not even, a moral offence, beoauBe lt .was customary among them. The fact that prisoner did make use of certain remarks in tue saloon ls no evidence that there existed anv malice In his heart, because he did not carry lt Into effect, although there was ample opportunity tor so doing so soon as he left theBaloon;such remarks are frequently made by persons who have no Intention ot carrylog them into effect. He then alluded In scathing terms to the conduct ot certain witnesses for the defence, and compared their evidence given bet?re the coroner with that given upon the Btand-contradicting themselves In points ot vital importance. 1'The deceased lay under the sod in a bloody grave, but who would not bi the dead Perrin, rather than the living Vesey QT, withers.".. He. begged the Jury to remember that ike deceased was the aggres? sor end gave two blows to the prisoner, and that a disinterested witness saw him endeavor to arm himself with Captain Hendrlcks's cane; these were immortal truths pul down by the recording angel, and were the beacon-licbts of thia case. In conclusion, he remarked, that 'he would not insult the Intellectual and moral character of the Jury to discuss this question otherwise than as an act ot Justifiable homicide, and would leave lt to nlB distin? guished-successor to pursue the line of argu? ment be bad marked out, with more Justice to tbe'prisoner and with greater ability than be was able to do., . ... ARGUMENT OF COLONEL SIMONS. . Colonel T. T. Simons, of counsel for the de? fence, theo entered upon his argument, and said .W devolved upon bim to close the argu? ment for the prisoner; that this was no idle Investigation-the staue at Issue is Hie; any mistake on the part of tbe lory can never be recalled, it th? verdict should consign the Brlapner, to un Ignominious doom, and send La soul Into eternity. There ls no power on earth that ban recall such a mistake. No greater responsibility CUD be put into the hands of mao. 'By the result of their vote it would-be decided' whether this prisoner should be restored to the bosom of bis fami? ly or whether be shall end his lile on the pub llcgallowB, In order that such an awful re? sult ?bould f?ll?w these proceedings, the State must prove a'case beyond all contro? versy. I The prisoner has come from an incar? ceration ol t?ve morrill?, ami put himself Into their hands, and truste his lire to their keep _lng; pnts'lnto their keeping ail that was dear t^**^?5fe}j?ljbJ?:,gi'de'of .tJ?e grave. He stated In no "case ever tried before this court has . lhere been more prejudice throughout the community than In this case. He called the attention ot the jurors to the empanelling of the present Jory, how many there were ont of tbe original venire, and how many among thosa summoned irom the bystanders, who, when the question was propounded, answered that their opinions were, already formed. There can be no higher evidence bow far one? sided statements, the prejudice of passion and the interest of parties have endeavored to misrepresent this case from beginning to end, with a view u>bring*about the condemnation of the prisoner at me bar. Une of i he jurors summoned from the bystanders was present? ed, and lo answer to tbe question said he bad expressed au opinion, but he could decide the case without bias or, prejudice. He was re? jected; and he approached one of the ?ounsel and tells bim lt was a mistake not to have put him' in the jury box. The next moment be ls on the ai and as a witness for the "tate. There can be no more satisfactory evidence that lt was the intention of that man to con? vict tbe prisoner at al) hazards, but through tbe-instrumentality of a higher power this nefarious design was frustrated. Nor is this all. -As bas been before stated by the former counsel for the defence, one of the reporters of an evening paper, established here about fourteen .aays ago, undertook to say to the public that we had selected and packed a Jury, and that the court stood ready to obey his (couniel'd) nod. They headed, their article, '?Woolf, me Murderer,"and appealed to pub ic sentiment to lynch bim. for mat ls the effect, of the arri?re: 'It la'ko'owfi to all present that the defence did not exhaust'Its challenges; that it was upon the motion of the State and novo! the defence to swear the Jurors upon their-voir direr and ordered to eland aside If they had found or expressed any opinion In tbe case. And when the editor of thia Journal was questioned as tb thia publication, be said he had received the Information from some person, but would not disclose the name of that,person. .. " , - >, The counsel went on to say that under these adverse Circumstances the case has come up for trlcJ; all he ?nkwl waB that eve; y man in that jury box pot' hlmseir In tee place of the pris? oner that night when this difficulty took place, and then say what he would expect a Jury of bis country to do with him; for to "Do unto others.as you would be done by," ls a Divine precept. There 13 a principle of common sense as well as law that every man ls to be presumed to be Innocent until his gul lt ls prov? en beyond all doubt, and that DO man ls to be convicted * except upon testimony Impartial, uncontradlcted, undisputed. Counsel then In a very searching manner reviewed the testi? mony ol Vesey, Reid and Wlihers, and re? ferred lo tbe-conflict In their testimony before the .coroners Jury and upon the witness stand. He then with force aud perspicuity examined principles of law in favor of ibe theory of the defence and applied them to the tacts of the case, and navmg gone throug? ..the., whole testimony with telling effect concluded bis argument by saying, "Gentlemen. I leave the case of the prisoner lo your hands, to your care. He has ?elected you to pass upon mts trial. You are entrusted with all that he holds dear on earth Tbe question la lor you to decide. Gentle? men, this morning was ushered in with skies overcast by clouds, the beavens were hung in black ; but since I have been speaking io you we Had. behind the clouds the Bun Ie still shining; the darkness bas partially passed away,.and we see. the bright beams of the Bun which j was given us by our Great Creator. Hay I not accept it as an evidence that the darkness and gloom of this prisoner's fate has passed away, and that yours will be the ray ot light which will restore bim once more to bis wife and little ones, and yours, Mr. Foreman, be the hand which will write the verdict for wnich will aicend the prayers of gratitude as incense towards Heaven 01 those you now see Deroce'you." TH? ARQOKENT OF SOLICITOR BRAWLKT. The defence having concluded, the court took areceia from three o'clock until hall-past five, wheo a dense crowd having assembled in tue conrt-rooa, Mr. Brawley, the acting solicitor, began Dis araument, which cou fumed rnewbole evening until nine o'clock and was pronounced on ali aides one of the most eloquent appeals ever made before the bar. He alluded to certain remarks made by the last counsel for the defence, that the pris? oner's only hope was- i n 1 he J urj ; be could un? derstand all this paraphernalia of woe; now hr understood why that poor, weak woman has been' dragged irom the privacy of her home to be Jostled by the rude touch ot men; now he understood why those innocent babes were dragged from their cradle; it meant that a new Issue had been raised, that their jury are to decide this case according to their sympathies, and not bj the law and the evi? dence. The solicitor then went Into a lengthy, thorough and exhaust]!*? review..ot the. lacia ol the casu and the law bearing upon them, and ended in an eloquent appeal to the Jury to do their duty fearlessly, lt was for tnem to sav whether the Hie. of their fellow-citizen should be DrotectedV whether the stranger could come lu their midst without being shot down In cold blood as Harry Perrin. The re? sult ol their decision would decide. THE JUDGE'S CHARGE. His honor Impressed upon the Jury the im? portance of the case belora them. The de? fendant was indicted lor the crime of murder, and has pleaded not guilty. The Jury must lorm their conclusions from the lacts as de? veloped upon the stand, which facts the court had no right to comment upon, bul simply to state the law and let the Jury reconcile the one with the other. It is a principle of law that the essenc? of all crime ls intention, and that intention is to be interred lrora the evidence. The court then, explained the different de? grees ol homicide, such as murder, man? slaughter, Justifiable homicide and excusable homicide. Explained that to constitute tbe arel offence lhere must be malice either expressed or implied. That In case cf a homicide- the State has only to prove that the aot was done. It de? volved upon the prisoner to show under what circumstance it was committed. If the Jnry decided that the prisoner did this deed with malice, then they must hud him guilty of murder; if they thought there were any ex? tenuating circumstances they might bring In a verdict cl manslaughter*- and If tbey thought be acted In Belf-delence-that lt was an excus? able homloide-tbeu flud him not guilty. _6jive_ral_p9intB lor_laatructlon were offered by counsel on both sides, which tbe. court commented upon, and the record was handed to the Jury, wno retired to their room about half past nine-o'clock. The jury not having agreed upon a verdict at hall-past ten o'clock-, tbe court adjourned, and the Jury wera ordered to . return a sealed verdict. _ _ A ROMANCE OF THE SEA. The Strange Story of a Female Sailor. [Lerer to the New Tork Tribune.] The new steamer Victoria, of the Anohor Line, which arrived at New York to-day lrom Glasgow, brought back to her native shores Maggie alias Billy Armstrong. She bad served before tbe mast in several British ships. Her sex having been at last discovered, she found herself at Glasgow, and in petticoats again, about the time the Victoria was to sall. As an old sailor she had gone to the shipping master ol the port, and be brought her case before the managers ol the Anchor Line, who gave her a free passage home. Daring the passage I have bad many conversations wltb our romantic fellow-traveller, and I sub? join an account of her story as nearly as possi? ble in her own word . Sbe Ia nineteen years old, of medium size, wltb a play of humor about ber eyes that partially redeems the plainness ol her determined, somewhat mas? culine face. So high has she held her female virtue through all her vicissitudes that when a steerage passenger of the Victoria insulted a woman In her presence, two or three days ego, ?be very calmly el ruck ont from the shoulder and Knocked him down. aMy name," she says, "ls Maggie Arm? strong, though I called myself Billy wbenl put nn pantaloons. I was bom io me State of New Jersey, America. My father ie a farmer five miles iron Trenton, and be has told me hundreds of limes that I could do more work than any man. I was always of a wild, passionate nature. I used to bate men when I was at home. I thought they ought not to get more wages than women, and I often wished I was a man. My mother died eight years aso, and left another little sister and me. Fattier kept a housekeeper until I was able to do bis work, wblch I did till tbe first of last April, when he took a notion to get married. This new wife be got In New York. She came to our bouse and thought to mle me and everything; but I soon taught her her mistake. I lett the house and went and hired ont at a neighboring farmer's. My father came after me and took me home, and I stayed eight days leading a cat-and-dog life with my stepmother. I ibougbt I could not endure that long, so I took a strange notion Into my bead. I was up-stalrs one day aloDg with one of my schoolmates. I was engaged cleaning and folding my father's clothes, and I said to ber that lt I was to dress myself in his clothes be would have a Job to find me. She laughed, and said he would. There waa a silence be-, tween us tor a few minutes, and without say? ing anything more about It lo her I secretly determined to try lt. At two o'clock tbat night, or the next morning I mean, I went up stairs and dressed myself In my father's clothes. I took th? scissors and cut my hair as short as I could, and then went down stairs again and took twenty-five dollars outof one of ihe bureau-drawers, for I knew lt was DO use going away without money. Then I went lo the station and look the 4.20 train for New York. I wandered about the city a good deal, stopping at a small hotel In Warren street, I thluk. I hadn't begun to make up my mind want to do, for I had never been In New York before, when one of those runners haled me and wanted me to ship on a trelgbt steamer, which be said was going to London and back to New York In a month. That seemed to suit me, as I was curious to Bee London. He shipped me as engineer steward, loaver was seasick once-in tact, I never was so well belorein my life as I have been at sea. I always used to have Jersey head? aches in the summer-time at home. No more feverishness now. AU the engineers were very well pleased with my work. But they Informed me tbat the ship was not going back to New York, but io China, when she len London. 80 I was discharged at my own re? quest In London, the head engineer present lug me with ten shillings lor being a good, clean lad. Wltb ibis and my wages, Aileen shillings, and wbat was leit of my twenty five dollars, I was enabled lo live In London tbree weeks. I went all over the great city, and saw no end ot things. As soon as I learned tbat the steamer was going to China, I made up my mind that I had got to get back to America as a sailor, If I ever got back at all. 801 used, during my spare hours on the steamer, lo practice going aloft; or. If tbey were stowing Balls or doing anything of the kind, I WP H sure to be on hand. I used to go into the wheel-house, too, and learn to steer, and, before we got to the Banks ot Newfound? land, I knew all the compass. Wheo, theretore, I shipped on board the bark Princess, bound lor Middiesboro', lt was not as an apprentice, bnt as an ordinary seaman, for two pounds five shillings a month. I had bought a sailor's chest and recruited my sailor wardrobe wilb ?.a set ol oilskins. These I had taken from the Sailor's Home boarding-bouse to the fore? castle of the Princess, and my life as a com? mon tar began. There were only eight of its In ihe forecastle, and ar I waa always first to reef the topsails and furl the small sails In a gale of wind, we got along very well. I was discharged, finally, with tbe rest at Middies? boro' alter a three weeks' ruD. Then I thought I should like to see Shields, wblch ls only six miles distant. 1 went there and tried to ship again; but here arose a great dif? ficulty. Unfortunately, I had lost my dls w^r,1e- KTHE ?a.Pta,? of a bark, the Eskdale of Wnitby, bound tor Italy, would take me as an apprentlce.but not as an ordinary seaman-that ls, not at first, tor he did take me when he found that he could not get any apprentices We lett Shields loaded with coal for Genoa We had head winds and bad weather In the English Channel, but the Mediteranean was lair enough to make up for it. We were In Genoa nine weeks In all, and lt was after we had been lhere six weeks that I was found out not to be a man. It happened In this way : There was a brute of a sailor In the forecastle, who was always Imposing on me* ! when we were shoveling coal In the bold, he made me fill two baskets to his one; I was telllDg this to the rest of the crew alter we were done work; he gave me the lie, and the result was a kuock-down fight between us; he was the bigger, and he got the better of me, and I bpgau crying. This led to sus? picious of my sex. I stoutly maintained that I was a man, but it was no use. Tne affair got to ibe captain's ears. Now the captain's wire was on board, and to bim and ber I was at last torced to confess my whole story. I was soon bablted as a woman again, and en? caged as stewardess In the cabin lor the homeward run.

RALPH KEELEE. New York, February 9, 1873. BO! FOR TBK WEST. Sale of tbe Spartanburg and Union Railroad-Ka Expected Extension to Asheville-A Continuous Line from Charleston to tbe West. . [FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, S. C" February 4. The Spartanburg and TJalon Railroad was sold Monday at Union Courthouse for the sum ol three hundred and eight thousand dollars. The purchasers were the Air-Line Railroad Company, or In other words, the Pennsylvania Central Company. The people of the up? country, and especially- the Spartanburg peo? ple, are very much elated at this, as it insures the extension of the road to Asheville. Tne Pennsylvania Central Company own the road irom Morristown, Tenn., to Wolf Creek, a distance or forty-eight miles from Asheville, and I learn from a prominent gentleman con? nected with the road that their object In buy? ing the Sparianburg and Union Railroad was to complete the gap Irom Spartanburg to Wolf Creek, and thua have a contlnuoua line from Charleston to the West. The Soulhern Security Company, alias Tom 8cotr, alias the Pennsylvania Central, from the great success ol the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, and other east and west roads, have determined to complete this short gap. With their capital of fllty millions lt will be but a drop In the bucket. Thus will the sagacity of Rjbt. Y. Hayne be vindicated, and the labor ol John C. Fremont be not in vain I This new enterprise is a grand one. It contem? plates not only a road to the West, but also a line of^teamers from Charleston to Liver? pool. I learn this from General Ansi ell, vice president of the Alr-Llne Rillroad. Two corps of engineers will be put Immediately on the road; one to survey a route from oh elton's Ferry, or some point In that vicinity, to Colum? bia; another to go over Fremont's route irom Spartanburg to Asheville. If these plans are carried out they will greatly benefit the whole State, but especially Spartanburg. That place has grown wonder tully in the last lew months, and promises to beoome a considerable railroad centre. The fact that the same company owns the Air Line and the Spartanburg and Union Rail? road insures to lt the location of the compa? ny's workshops, and from tbe many circum? stances in her lavor, no wonder she begins al? ready to put on airs and presumes to be a city. - " ? Mox. THE VIENNA EXHIBITION. ' European papers give large and frequent apace to the accounts of the Vienna Exposi? tion, and the progress of the works toward completion. These works are much more ex? tensive and cosily than had at first been con? templated. The demanda for covered space from all quarters ol the globe (save from Ametioa only) are more than double the fl rsi expectations, based on the great Paris Exhi? bition; and for the building and covering ol this extended area, the Vienna commission era have applied for seven millions of florins, or $3,600,000 In addition to the six millionc previously granted, and which have airead; been expended. The additional seven mil? lions ls asked for only as a loan, to be repaid from the prices of admission and sale of the buildings after the close of the exhibition lc October,J873. The calculation is that Alteen millions ol visitors are exoected to come to eee the dis? play, and that as each will pay from arty cents to twenty-five cents, the whole addi? tional sum will he returned from that revenue only. The commissioners have already had an offer of 1,800,000 florins, or $900,500 lor the building erected for the machinery annexed, which is lnteudid to be converted Imo a gigantic railroad depot, as lt fronts on the river Danube, and will be connected by a net? work of railways. Season tickets are also estimated as likely to produce ene million of dollars addlllonul. The commissioners show that since their first estimates, made in 1869, the cost ot Iron, brick, glass, Ac, have ad? vanced fifty per cent., and wages have Increas? ed thirty per cent. But (he demand for In? crease of space by every natlou over and above the first allotments, show how enthu? siastic are all continental people to lake ad? vantage of the display. It ls going lo bethe most magnificent exposition the world has ever known. Even compared with the Paris Exhibition uf 1867, all loreign Slates will occupy a greatly Increased area. Thus, Italy bad In Paris 2200 fquare metres-Bomeihiog about an English yara anti a quarter-she now demands 4788 square metres. Russia had lu I Paris 2237 square metres; she now requires 5000. Germany, wit h only 3750 In Pari?, will have In Viennn 21,136. The East, which lu Pans had 2647 square metres, now has 5672. France of herself occupied in Paris 48,873 anare metres. Austrian-Hungary ls to have ,212. The contemplation or covered spuce waa for 120,000 square metres; the commis? sioners now loi ena to cover 180,000 square metres, or fifty per cent. more. THE ILLUSTRATED DAILY. An Idea of Ibe Object and Prospects ol tbe New Journalistic Venture. [Chicago Tribune-New York Letter.] The Dally Graphic, the name of the new eight-page, five-cent eveuing Illustrated paper, will make Ita appearance, lt ls Bald, soon after the first proximo. It is to be published by a company of capitalists, most of them from Montreal, Canada, who have already paid in $600,000 gold io sustain their enterprise. One side ot the paper ls to be lithographed by a new process-a purely Canadian Invention. It seems the Jesuits' College at Quebec, wish? ing to reptoduce an old booK of Champ? lain, containing many autographs, diagrams, and pict ores, applied to the Queen's, print? ing office io have the Job done. Four brothers named Leggo, au excellent work? men, undertook the task, and after long labor and countless experiments, occupying lour years, got out a volume. The Leggos (Med some time since, and G. E. Desbarata, who was Queen's printer, succeeded with his eon to their business, and removed to Montreal. The process-lt ls called the graphic-was perfected about two years ago, and promised so well that they determined to establish lt here. The result ls ibe Graphic, the illustra? tions of which cnn be made by the artist, he being his own engraver, as quickly BB a re? porter can write up an acceuni of any notable I occurrence. Supposing tnat a whole family should be murdered In Fortieth street, or that a I North River terry boat should be run down by a , passing steamer at eleven o'clock this morning, the first edition ol the Graphic this afternoon I would contain pictorial as well as written ?es ? erl pt lona of the terrible scenes, thus anticipa? ting the Illustrated weeklies, and revolution? izing, as lt ls claimed, the whole business. Tile Graphic Company haa leased a large marble and iron building In Park Place, ann is possessed, lt ls understood, of ample ladli I ie s for all sorts or photographing, engraving, lithographing, electrotyping and printing. They say they can make their Journal pay with a dally circulation ol ten thousand, though they expect one much larger. Newspaper publishers are watching with Interest the coming revolution In typography and photo? graphy, and I have tried to give you a crude but early outline cl what lt la proposed to do in ibis way.
