The following sentence was pronoun- j 1i ced by his Honor Judge O'Neall, on the ! ? 23d ult., in Charleston, S. C.: n 'George W. Jones?To-day is the se- g cond time you have been before me, as a the minister of justice, to receive the sen- d tence of the law. It is, on this occasion, d the dreadful judgement of the death of the ti Ijody. I would say to you, prepare to -1?? I 1 - .1 I ? I a a am iyion/>a tKnt it? a f I* ry IC* 4111 111 Wl Htl kU V/WIII II Vil V> V/ bllllb ff m || \y of preparation, it is my duty to call your tl attention to yourself;?to point you to that p beautiful star of hope, which hung over the S moor's lowly birth place, and which h guides alike wisdom and folly to his fix- g tended atms of mercy!" si What has been your past life? I know I of only two incidents in it, the base theft ri ? of a stranger's all, and the forgery for which you now stand condemned. But, if fj report be true, you arc no child in crime. 1 I have heard it said, by your able, elo- b <juent, and indefatigable counsel, that ti you have talents and information, much F above the common herd of criminals: F they have spoken of your position in so- i< ciety being once respectable and honest, s If these things be so, what must be your feelings? How canyon lookback upon the beautiful flowers (f( youth, withered, blasted, and trampled underfoot by your d crimes, without exclaiming, "oh that I c ? i I-fmtr ojin von ppmpm. /! nan never uiTuui ber your parents, yjur friends, who once t looked to yon with pride, and not feel t the harrowing thought, that your parents' <] grey hairs are bowed with sorrow to the l grave, and that your friends have been estranged by your crimes? You look o around y ?u, and there are none present to t sympathize with you in the present awful moment, but some merciful stranger, who s utters for you the Saviour's prayer of . mercy, "father forgive him.'' Nothing, ?! to a mind possessed of any feeling, can t; be a more distressing reflection than that n in youth, in crime and in folly; a life's q whole expectations have been lost! To (. you, unless executive clemency should be extended, time will soon cease, and eter- s nity, an awful eternity, will commence, a ? Let the bitterness of your reflection on the t crimes anil fully of your life, prepare you 1 for the change which may come upon you a under ihe sentence of the law; but if thai C ignominious ending ef your days should a be spared to you, stiil, in a few years s more, it will certainly come, and yon must meet the Everlasting Judge ot quick and b jjead. I trust, in the solitary cell, which t yon have tenanted for sometime, and i a which is still to he your home, that you o will rend the book of life?if you cannot t understand it, call to your aid the holy a men of God, who are its interpreter5, and t who stand as it were on the mount of God, t to point the trembling sinner to the day p spring of mercy on high. They will, h with, unwearied ptlience and industry, a explain the way, the truth, and the life, J> until you may be able to lay hold on the v ,, fyqpe.of everlasting life. Let me entreat' s . von to be not an idle and uninterested I beholder of the wasting sands in the hourglass of your life. Nothing but ''ceasing s to do evil and learning to do well" can h save you from everlasting punishment in t an everlasting worlJ. Nothing but faith v in vottr Redeemer can give you that re- h pcntance which is unto life: Say not, 'II i cannot l?e saved," ? the thief on the cross was snatched by faith, from the yawning1, burning abyss of punishment, which opened at his feet. The publican, who could only cry, "God be merciful unto me a F sinner," was accepted. None ever came to Christ and was rejected. To-day, he stands before you / and cries; "come unto me, and I will give you rest!" He walks with voti in your prison house, and the silent watches of the night he stands by your couch of crime and punishment, and says to you, "ask and you shall receive." To him, ? the fountain which was opened in the () house of David for sin and uncleanness, tj in which you may wash and be made clean, j j, I would commend you. The help of man ! ? is rain! Expect it not! desire it not! Look i n forward to the hope whicli is in glory, far ( beyond the brightness of the sun, and j' which is to endure beyond time, and to L flourish in immortal youth at the right I hand of God. May you realize the ful-L ness and certainty of this hope, and walk j t through the dark valley of the shadow of11 death, and fear r.o ill."? "The sentence of the law is, that you be J taken hence to the place from whence, h you last came, and there be closely and securely confined, until the first Friday in 11 May next, on which- clay, between the l hours of 10 in the forenoon and 2 in the f afternoon, you will be taken by the Shcr- fi iff of Charleston District to the place of public execution, ami there, between the d hours of 10 in the forenoon and 2 in the i afternoon, you will he hanged by your c neck, until your body be dead; and may h God have mercy on you." * t From the Savannah Georgian. S FLORIDA, Feb. 27. A gentleman direct from Tampa says, ^ that Gen. Armistead has 339 of the cue- ' my ready for emigration, and that their embarkation will not be delayed beyond ^ fl-st oroxirno. Those Indians have ' been induced to come in by the Arkansas delegation, and having agreed upon c terms the General is determined to pre- s vent the oscillation of their leg bail incli- F nations, by assigning them to the care of 1 a body, inner and outer picket guard?a a distinction their former good conduct rich- c ly entitles them to. No white person, c unless a commissioned officer, is permitted to visit them, and after retreat this r privilege is denied to all. But two as yet ^ avc evinced a Jcaire-io escape, the first I ^as wounded in the attempt by the senti. 1 el on duty, and finally killed by a draoou. . The second was run through with ? bayonet, from the effects of which he ied. This summary punishment has oubtless deterred others from the atempt to escape. Maj. Belknap, 3d Infantry, has been rdered to the duty of escorting them to teir new homes, West of the Mississipi. P. S.?We learn that there are yet t opes of Tigertail's consenting to emi- i fate.

Judge Barfionr, of the Supreme Court f the United Slates, who retired to his hamber in his usual health, on Wednesay night, was found dead in his bed on he morning of Thursday. He appeared 0 have died without a struggle. His suden decease is ascribed to an affection of he heart. The last rites were paid to the remains f this excellent man, to-day at the Capi01 in the chamber of the Supreme Court. The service was rendered most impresive by the exalted worth of the deceased ?the dignity of the presence?the Presienl, Vice President, Senators, Represenatives, and Judges attending?the soletn- I iIv of the nlace. and the simple but elo- i J ? uent and most appropriate address of the Chaplain who officiated. < There was never a higher or more deerved tribute paid to the dead than that warded to Judge Barbour from the very ribunal in which he himself once sat.? t was but the echo of that which Mr. Rone had just pronounced in the Senate Chamber, and Mr. Banks in the House, nd to which every heart responded that urrnunded his bier. Judge Barbour had, from youth to age. i ieen versed in the busy scenes of life? he polemics of the bar?politics of State nd National assemblies?the high trust 1 f the judicial station?in all that involves he interests and passions of the world, n.l ?.? tin ndocnH frnm It "Mn.tnfltffirf of : he world." In every social and domesic relation, the current of his life ran Mire, and diffused happiness on all around , dm. Me was, in his principles, talents, nd attainments, his probity and benevo- j ence, a fine exemplar of that character i-hich raised his native Slate to such deerved distinction among her sisters of the Jnion. - i These considerations, which must make harpe? and deeper the first pangs felt in is death by his family, will, in time, be heir greatest consolation. He will surive to them in his character and in the listory of his country.?Globe. BY AUTHORITY. LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES 'assed at the second session of the twenty-sixth congress.
