BOW? Carried Co Jail.
The Washington correspondent of the
Bai????
count*-1
The district courts ara furnishing pf !
lato quite a number of causes celebres to
oriminnl annals. Thb?ormihsiia?'o, theil
trial of O.. O. Bowen, tooday, like the I
olosing soepep jp that of; j Holster, a fowj
weeks sino?.'prcB?nled'rh'any sensations.
To the^PaTTOtynrf ttre-prtsonerand-the
onriosUieS yo?' P** \"marita^ experience,
which Hoto' attrnctodJgeuoral attention'
to the oause ponding against him, there,
was added a publio d?fonce by the cul?
prit of bia conduct, and all the pathetic
sensation thai grows but of publio evi?
dences of womanly devotion to a mon
whom all elso have abandoned.
The court hud been opened at au hour'
(9 o'clock) unusually early, and there
were bot few spectators to tho scene
which took place. Judge Olin read a
terse opinion, overruling the motion to
suspend sentence, und then called ou
Bowen to say why sentence should not
be pronounced. Bowen rOHO to respond,
but was Btopped awhile by Mrs. King
Bowen, who clung to him and would not
let him stir. In a few moments he quiet?
ed her, and proceeded to ? yindioato him-,
self, declaring that he acted on the faith'
ol 'the New York divorce, and if that
was wrpng, it was not his fault, and that
be relied likewise upon the act of Con?
gress, which freed from the peualties of
bigamy parties deserted for more than
five years. He said:
"I am tired and worn out with this
pursuit of me. Tho whplo oombined
South, at one time, attempted to fight
the Government of the United States.
[/They continued it for : fo ur yeats, and
failed. It is useless, it is folly, for any
one man to attompt that. Ono mau,
without money, and, perhaps, only a
limited uutuber ,of friends, to cope with
this governm?ht'in'a prosecution of this
or any other kind, is impossible. They
pay their spies. They pay their men.
They ransack the country, from ono eud
to tho other,' buying alf tho monby need?
ed at their'COtirrband.' ' Tri this, I do not
mean to cast-, any imputations or reflec?
tions upon tho District Attorney or bia
assistant. ' I Only, say that I am tired and
worn out A new' trial in spoken of. I
do not'&nnw that I huye any assurances
of any. better result. Not that I have
noted wrong ia-this oase intentionally,
your Honor, but sent.to prison at this
time, what could I hope if a now trial
were granted this fall, and I returned
here, without monoy, without friends,
and was put upon my trial for the sec?
ond tims? These gentlemen (District
'Attorney and his assistant) having the
privilege and the means of roaming the
country to hunt up all sorta of witnesses,
it seems to me that I could not hope for
a much better result.
"In conclusion, I say that, whatevor
punishment may fall upon my head, I
stand here to receive it. From the com?
mencement of this affair, I have not
shirked. I married that woman (point?
ing to his wife) last August, in good
faith. Though the laws of the country
may annul that, I have a firm belief that
the laws of God never will, when what?
ever punishment that may bo initiated
by this court shall have been served ont,
if we are spured, (turning to his wife,
who rises and re?oives his extended
hand,) I return to her. [Mrs. Boweu
here clung closely to her husband. Mrs.
Bowen, io a moment or so, resumed her
seat, ut tho request of her husband. J
"One word more, and lam done. To
these gentlemen, who kindly offered to
go my bail, I am much obliged. I have
acted by them, as I have io this whole
traosaotion, in good faith. To-day they
are relieved. I am truly grateful to
them.
"Now, your Honor, I am done. Fuss
your sentcuae. You know the case aud
the circumstances that surround it."
The Court-The seutence of the court
is, Boweo, that yon bo confined for two
years iu tho Alban y penitentiary.
Mrs. Bowou -(Chuging closely to her
husband, in a feeling manner, said in a
firm yet gentle voice:) "If ho did it, I
did it. If he is to be sentenced, please
sou tonco mo. Yon have no right,- your
Honor, before God Almighty, to visit
punishment upou him alone for what I
did also. With that record io my hand,
I stand before this court and before my
God. I procured it. It was obtained
ia good faith. If irregular, if invalid,
wo are not in fault. Oh, sentence wv]
Ioaunotpart from him. Ho is too pure,
too good. You kuow him not. I do
kuow him."
The Court-Madam, I havo a duty to
perform here, and, while I sympathize
with yon from the bottom of my heart,
I most still perform that duty. In ad?
dition, Mr. Bowen, to tim imprisonment
for two years in the Albany penitentiary,
yon will pay a fine of $250.
I hopo the warden of the jail, if you
are committed to his custody, will post?
pone tho oxecution of the sentence until
you have an opportunity to apply to
some of my brethren ou this bill of ex?
ceptions for a stay of tho execution of
the Bentenoe. I may be mistaken. I do
not profess . to bo unerring about this,
but! have given my best judgmont to.
it. Tho case is BO sad .that it draws
blood from tho heart. You are a man
of groat intelligence You aro sur?
rounded in such a way thut it is sad to
bo compelled, ns I think I am compelled,
to pass the sentence of the law. I wish
from the bottom of my heart that it
wero otherwise. But I* have brought
I my boat judgment to tho case. Tho law
' must bo administered, however high
your social position may be, and how?
ever sorrowful the surroundings moy be.
If I had auy doubt about tho rightful
I noss of tho verdict, I might have taken
another course. But I do not eeo how I
? ?ould do it. While I Bit here I must
perform my duty as I understand it.

THIS COLUMMA CANAL-.-The Goluml
correspondent of. tho Augusta Chroni
mid Sentinel says:
This great work, which oar people <
peot will lend a now impulse to the bu
ness of the city, aud to every species
industry throughout the State, has rt
progressed with that rapidity hoped ft
when it was placed io tho hands of t
Messrs. Sprnguo, of Bbodo Island-m
of vast meau8 and large experience
water powers and manufactories. T
fault, howover, does not acorn to
theirs; but, as usual with all enterprii
of a public natura, our lovely Legislatt

Broad ned, Salu,^a. I?yere, by. which ?he
Oongar?? ia . farmed,,, ?to . Granby,. the
point mepti?aoa Vabove. V Shortly .after
coraiug into power, ibo present govern?
ment advertised thq canal for salo, and
sold it to the Messrs. Spraguo for $200,
con pied with an /obligation to fur?
nish the Btatb, for the,ese pf ibo peni?
tentiary, which ?s ?oc?icd on the oana],
with power to the amount of 100 horses,
if so mach be required, (estimated at
$4,000 per annum,) and to widen and
deepen the bed of tho canal to twice ita
original capacity. The Spragues sent
on Gol. S. A. Pearce, formerly of the
United States army, as their agent, to
superintend the construction of, the
canal-a gentleman who, though battling
against our Southern prejudices', has im?
pressed himself favorably npon the oom*
mun i ty; keeping himself aloof, though
often solicited, on account of his com?
mand of money, from tho fraudulent
schemes of the public officials, and show?
ing himself au earuest and capable man
of business.
Major Charles Mahon, who was en?
gaged upon tho' Augusta Canal \wo or
three y ears'ago, was employed io make
tho necessary surveys, plans and esti?
mates for the development of the canal.
Through bis investigations,, it was'ascer?
tained that, by a diff?rent mothod of
operations, and a change in the location
of the dam from the place hold iu .view
ut tho timo of the contract' with tho
State, nearly double the quantity of
water could be utilized," with a' saying,
too, of hundreds of thousands bf dollars
to the Mesare. Spragpe. ' lu . fact, it is
(jaid by profession^ engineers.io bq tjio
poly practical mothod; of scouring any
cou s id u r able wat ex' po wer, and combine
at once, roost.happily, thegreateet'econ
bmy with tho most, thorough .and fall
treatment of the subject. . It ?B claimed
by Mr. Spraguo's engineer, that a great?
er power than that at Lowell, Massachn
Hotta-reputed to bo 'tho largest iu tho
Uuited States at this time-can be ob?
tained. He estimates it' to be between
12,000 and 15,000 horses. The idea is
to construct the dam. at a point just be?
low the State Penitentiary, so as to take
ia the entire waters of the Congaree.' At
and.below this place, too? ?ll the desir?
able mill-sites bro situated, ondit is thus,
by avoiding the unnecessary expensive
and extremely difficult excavations above,
that a groat saving in foolish expendi?
ture is made. Col. Pearce had a bill in?
troduced in the Legislature, last winter,
to grant him permission to construct his
dam at the place desired, but our repre?
sentatives were too eagerly and profita?
bly engaged in pet railroad, private cor?
poration and other snob speoulativo
schemes, to waste their valuable time
upon a matter involving simply the ma?
terial interest and prosperity of the Com?
monwealth. This action, or rather want
of action, on the part of the Legislature,
has delayed, and will probably continue
to delay for a time, the perfection of this
grand scheme. Besides that, it is reason?
able to suppose that the Massrs. Sp rugue.
Uko all capitalists, will be slow and- cau?
tious in investing money.in a country
where the government is notoriously
corrupt and extravagant, and the value
of nil property depressed by grievous
taxation. Col. Pearce has, however,
some fifty or seventy-five bauds em?
ployed on the canal, and is expending
three or four thousand dollars per month
on the work, enough to show that the
Spragues have ooufidenco iu the future
of our State, and that they expect a
change ere long in the character of our
Legislature.
