j7T"f A ? 'Truth stro.\gt:r thv\ fiction". The follo\ve<i report for the St. Louis, Crescent, of a case in the criminal court1 in that cii> will be read With painful interes t. The Stale vs. Augustus V. Jones.?Indictment for passing counterfeit money. The defendant in this case was, probably, twenty-eight years of age, hut wore the appearance of at least thirty-five, fie had evidently once lieen a line looking1 man; in stature he was something over j six feet, and his strongly marked features j , and prominent forehead gave evidence ol | more than -ordinary intellect. But von j could clearly discover that he had become j -a prey to the monster Intemperance?the i mark of the beast was stamped upon his) countenance, which gave it a livid and I unnatural glare. He was placed in tho with others who had to foe arraingcd I upon the indictments preferred against I them. All the others had plead not guilty, (as is usual,) and a day was set for their trial. The defendant was loM to stand up, and the clerk read to him the | indictment which charged hmi with ha v.! ing, on the 10th day qf August, parsed to one Patrick Gneal a counterfeit hili, purporting to be issued bv the *2d Municipality of the city of New Orleans, for tho i sum of three dollars; and upon being! asked the question, Guilty or not guilo7| ho replied, "Guilty?guilty!" Then, turning to the Court, he remarked that, as this was the Inst tune hoeverexjxicted to appear in Court, he would he glad il lie 1 could l>e allowed to make a few remarks. J The Judge told him. to proceed. After a pause, in which he was evidently endeav.! ?ring ta cahu his feelings, he proceeded ' as follows: May it please the Court: In the re-! marks 1 shall make, [ will not attempt to j extenuate my crime, or ask at your hands I any sympathy in passing sentence upon! me. t know that I have violated the laws of my country, and justly deserve punishment; nor would I recall the past,1 \>r dwell upon the hitter present, for my own sake. A wish to do good lor others is my only motive. Mlshall, with the indulgence >f I'e Court, give a brief narrative of my life, .with a hope that those young men around j me may take warning by it, and avoid 1 i the rock upon which I have split. 1 was ! born of respectable parents in the Slate f of New Jersey, and during inv childhood ; received every attention that fond parents j could bestow upon an only son. It was early discovered that I had a fondness for | l>ooks; nod my father although in limi-' ted circumstances, determined to give me i a liberal education. I was sent to a high ' .school in the neighborhood ; and such 1 was progress, that, at twelve years of age, inv perceptor declared me qualified ; for college, and I accordingly entered, one of the oldest universities of the conn-' try. Here I so distinguished myself that' at the age of sixteen, I graduated with the second honors of the institution, arid returned home with the brilliant pios-' V* cts of success that lay lielore inc. I soon after commenced the studv of law, *" - I ami, when only in my twentieth year, 1 obtained license to practice. I "Acting upon the advice of friends I determined to try my fortunes in tii??j West. I accordingly .rranged my affairs for departure early in the full of; 1S33. I will not detain you with an ac- j count of my separation from those 1 held most dear ; suffice to say that I received tl? i blessings of my parents, and in return promised faithfully and honestly to avo?d , nil had company, as well as their vices. ; Hud [ kept my promise, I should have been saved this shame, and been free j from the load of guilt that hangs around j me continually, like a fiendish vulture,, rlirosif>ninix to drag mo to justice lor crimes as yet unrevealed. But, to return: I left my early home, where nil had been j sunshine, and where my pathway had l. heen strewn with flowers, to try my for- j line among strangers, and try my j * strength in huffetingthe storms and tern j pests of the world. "With light heart I looked forward to I the future, and, taking the usual route, I j soon reached Wheeling, where I took! passage on a boat for Louisville. On the h ?at a game of cards was proposed for amusement, and, although I had promise I; f iitifully to avoid such things, still I ar-, gued to myself there was no harm in playing a game for amusement. "Accordingly, I joined the party and we kept up the amusement most of the way down. After we left Cincinnati it wan nroocsed to bet a hit a game, merely " ?~ I 1 as it was saici to make it interesting.? f My first impression was to leave the table i but 1 was told it was only a bit, that I could not lose more than one ?r two dollars. This argument prevailed ; for I lacked moral courage to do what was' I right. I feared my companions would say I was stingy of a little money. In. j fine need by these feelings, I played ; and i as the fates would have it I won. Before i we had reached Lauisville we had twice ! doubled the stake, and I found my luck) enabled me to pay my passage out of mv } winnings. It was the first time ever I had bet money, and my success ruined me. Airain I played, and was again " " o successful; and, in short, I continued to) play for amusement until 1 had acquired a thirst for gambling. 1 settled in a tiiri. j ving village in Tennessee, and commenc-! ed the practice of my profession under fiuttertjng auspices, and my first appear-1 ancc in a criminal court was highly com- j pliincrited, and 1 soon la-came Known throughout the circuit. Things went on thus tor more than a year, ahd I believed myself fairly on the road to fame and fortune. I occasionally played cards, hut 1 consoled myself with the idea that [ only played with gentlemen for amusement. "One night I accompanied some young men to a gambling shop, and, for the first time in my life, I saw a faro bank. My companions commenced betting, and I was induced to join them. Although I did not understand the game, again 1 played with success; and, when we left; the house, was more than two hundred dollars winner. None of my companions had been fortunate, and it was insisted j that I was the lucky man, and that I must j treat. We accordingly repaired to my room, where I ordered wine, and before we broke up we were all deeply intoxicated. With we it was the first time, and the next day I resolved that I would never play cards again. [ adhered to the determination for nearly three months, when I again yielded to the entreaties of my dissipated associates. "I now played with varied success, and ' in all cases found an excuse for resorting to the wine hottle. If I lost, I drank to drown sorrow; if I won, I treated my good fortune. Tims I progressed upon my downword course, until drinking and gambling became my chief employments. All my friends who were worth preserving j abandoned me, until my only associates were drunkards and gamblers; when, almost reduced to want, (lor I had left oil business,) I received a letter informing me of the death of mv father?that father j who watched over my earlv days, who j loved me so tenderly. And did I act as an atrectioriate child? No. Vice had destroyed the human feeling of my heart, and left only the animal passions and npj?? titos : as the letter contained a check lor a part of my poor father's hard earnings, I drowned my grief that night " -n-l i>> n f*>\v davs : Ill OiiCeiiiliuif ia 11 mm ?? ?j I \v.;s again penny less. I will not dwell upon tlie e very-day scenes of my Jife, winch were such as may at all times be witnessed at any of the two hundred drain sho ?s of your city, where wretched men squander the little pittance that justly belongs to their sutF ring wives and chili r -ft. "But to pass on. For nearly three years I have been a drunken, wandering outcast. 8ix months ago I received a letter from my dear mother, enclosing $100. and informing me that she was fast sinking with disease, and entreating, with all a mother's feeling, to come home and see her before she died. For a time I felt the appeal, and resolved to comply with her reijuesf ; and accordingly took passage on a steamboat for that purpose. For two days! refrained from liquor, but my thirst insupportable; at length my ippmite overpowered my better feelings ind 1 approached the bar and madly ought the gambler's table: and before j lie boat reached Louisville, I was strip- ? ?ed of every cent. Thus all hopes of - I t teeing n?y vying mouiei wuituu ..... . emaincd at Louisville several weeks in vhich time 1 learned that inv mother had f hod, and that her last breath was spent n prayer lor her wretched child. | "From Louisville I shipped on board he steamer razil as a deck hand, and ame to this place where 1 was discharged for drunkenness. Let every young nan reflect upon this picture. I, who I lad moved in the first circles of society? lad been the guest of distinguished pub ic me-', and a favorite among the litera- | i of our co miry, was now 'turned ofT as infit for a deck hand on a steamboat.! yet ' nteinpera ice had done this much. "I loiterec, aiiout this city for several vecks, an I wasf sometimes engaged in j lusting up the hooks of some dram shop, i - ? ^ I 'or winch I was paid in the liquid u:e, i opt lor the accommodation of customers. )ne evening I fell in company with a nan who has lately been lodged in jail or passing counterfeit money. Wc playul cards, and I won from him -the three i Jollar lull in question. The next day I earned that it was oountcrfeit, and did mt oiler to pass it for several clays. I?ut it last I got out of ail employment. I had in other money, I could meet no one I ,vho would ask me to drink. My appeite was like a raging fire within me. I O o ould not endure it. I sought a dram ( iliep, offered the hill, it was accepted, and i vhen found, a few hours after, by the i dhecrs of justice, I was beastly drunk. "The evidence of guilt was conclusive; ind before my brain was clear of the inoxicating fumes, I was lodged in jail to | iwait to niv tri.d. I am now clone. I ' | iave not detained the Court with any I mpe or wish that clemency would he ox- 1 ended in my case, i>nt with a hope hat my example may be a warning to >thcr young men?that those who hear nc may, when asked to play a social game tf cards of drink a social glass, think of i ny fate and retrain. They may feel | hemselves secure, they may believe hoy can stop when they please, hut let hem remember that I argued thus until f >vas lost." ii..m ti,n -nilnnt sunk down and ippeared to l>e very much aUcctecl; and for a few moments silence reigned i through the Court-house. At length the t fudge, who is much distinguished for the rjualities cf his heart us he is for learning as a Judge, proceeded in a brief, but a p. 1 propriato manner, to pass sentence upon ihe defendant, putting his punishment in ' the Penitentiary down to the shortest 1 time allowed by the law. wgmammKmmmmmtmtmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhi FEATIIETtS. - v400 lbs. new Feathers in store and for sale by D.
