JOHN C.Co1.'r, who is condemned to be exe-
cuted in November next, seems to be one ofthe
most hardened of men. IIis conduct towards
the Judge who sentenced him was most ex ra-
ordinary and ill advised, if he or his friends
have the faintest hope that his punishment will
be commuted. But the climax of impuileiir.-e
is the publication of his letters. wliich are d .ily
appearing in the New York Evening Tattler.
In these epistles he speaks oftlie murder with
otit manisfesting the least seiisih,i|iiy—and it is
enough to freeze one.'s blood to read his com-
ments upon the dreadful deed for which he
stands contletniied. The following specimen
is number six of his letters:
PRISON HoUsE, Feb. 6, 1842.
MY DEAR SIR,——Althoiigh I Sl.-lllfl con-
demned by twelve men, do not tliiuk that it
causes me so much pain as you imagine. No
—uo. Death has no terrors for me. Thi-re
is a world above this, and I believe a just
one. Man, at the worst, can only dt-strog/
t/ze borlg/. I did but delenil myself against 2:
wanton, vile, unpzirdonable attack. This I
would do again, at any time, when insulted
and assaulted. No min would do less. His
very nature compels him to this. I have
been tried and condemed for endeavoring to
secrete a misfortune. not for killing a man.
Prejudice or error misled or governed the
whole proceedings of the trial—justice took
no part. The time will come when men
will look upon this whole affair in its proper
light—-at least I believe so; perhaps alter I
have suffered; and believe me truly. sir, that
I should prefer a thousand deaths and be
thought innocent, than live a single life, to
be pointed at as guilty of a crime that my
very soul would shudder at the mention of.
even from my boyhood tip. Do not think
th-it I fear death. I have nothing in this
affair to reproach my conscience with. Be
fore my God, within the frontal ofheaven, I
can excl-aim to Tire MAN, ‘ I was your friend;
for this you abused me, [asked you to be just
——for this you accused me ofinjustice. For
CALM woans, you gave me insulting lan
guage. For peremptory denial, you gave
me blows; for this, YOU accidentally fell the
victim in a resistance to your wanton and
unjiistifiable assault. Heaven protect the
innocent and unsuspecting in this .'iffiiir—
Heaven will be just I”
My great suffering is for my lri--rnds. I
care but little for myself. This will be to
them a lietivy blow. ’Tivill ‘.‘.‘ll.llt‘I' up the
very charity of their hearts, and they wilt
look with distrust upon all around '=bt-in.
There was a fiendish appetite evidently
burning in the bosom of iuaiiy witnesses.
and much that was sworn to was entirely
false. But this is now unimportant. These.
twelve men. ai'e welcome to all the happiness
of their. conclusion, I would not change.
places with any one of them. Thank God
that those who know me best believe me in-
nocent—’tis only those that do not know me
who condemn. I The great mass ofthe com.
munity are evidently prejudiced in this af-
fair. This comes not front a just and im-
partial consideration ofthe facts and evidence
of the case, but from reading and believing
every catch-penny statement that has been
heralded through the streets. The very
community are to be pitied for believing that
so vile a monster as I have been represented
to be, ever bore the image of his maker.-—
The time will come that they will not be-
lieve it--—no—’tis not possible for them to
believe-—-some misfortune to themselves.
some calamity to a friend, will cause them
to halt, reflect and be just.
I cannot answer your numerous enquiries,
they would fill a volume; but will write
more at large, when more in mood.
Yours, hurriedly, J. C. CoL'r.
Case ofCol. Webb —Ju mes Watson Webb,

receive a challenge, appeared in the Court of
Sessions yesterday, [\iVednesday] put in a
special plea of Guilty/, and addressed the
Court most ably in explanation andjustifica-
tion of the conduct for which he stood ar-
raigned. He very forcibly urged in his
behalf the facts that no attempt had ever
before been made to convict or punish any
one under this provision of the law, though
the offences had been many and flagrant:
and not less forcibly did he arraign that de-
praved public sentiment which condeiunstlie
man who refuses to fight (rather than be
‘kicked ofi the side t\'alk,’) yet calls for the
punishment as a felon whoever obeys its
requisitions by fighting! Col. VV. ayows
that heentered on the stage of active life as
a military man, adopted the code of honor
ol'r'n'ilitary life, and has ever adhered to it
He‘ suggests that his conduct in the affair
with Marshall was not sanguinary, that he

with a fixed determination not to take his

the Sf.-illlf0l'(l Advocate, containing scanda-
lous (YlL‘lI'gl’S against the officers of the last
County Court, but iriore poititi-dly at the
Sherifl and Gaoler. I had previously seen}
the Advocate containing these charges, but
(l- termined not to notice them urilt-ss they
should gain some notoriety by being pub-‘
lisbed in some paper of l‘1‘Spt‘t‘ItlI)lt’ standing :-
for in my opinion no public ofiicer or private
citizen should be called to respond to any-
thing which may appeal‘ in the Staiiiiloitl
Advocate. And if the publishers of that
paper expect me to notice their articles in
iutuie, they must send them to l.llé.iCOl'l(ll1Cl.-
ms of some papers who possess some char-
acter for triitb, decency and respoiisibili-y---
for this is the last time I shall ever reply to
any charges which may have originally ap-
pvared in the Advocate. But since these
charges have found a place in your papt-i'-—--
a paper said to be conducted with iiupai'tial-
itv and c;in<lor— and not having givi n pri-~~

to the iuost iiitportaiit part of them.
With regard to my official (‘(:li(ll)(‘l. in

spectators in daily tittentlzince, who witnessi,-d

But, sir, I atii cliargctl with liavirig
charged a fee for exliibiting the pri.~onei"s
recently confined in the gaol at Danbtiry,
for the benefit of Mr. Iloyt’s Ruin Bar. I
am further charged with having caused a
notice to be placed upon the door of the
gaol. demanding 6 .1 cents as the price of
admission. Both these charges I pronounce
to be unqualified falsehoods.
But perhaps I ought to_ state a few facts
for the satisfaction of the public. \\'e had
about cir_.'htei-ii prisoners confined in gaol.-.-.
Some were committed for burglary until ilieltj
and a number of others for comparatively‘,
slight offences. There -.\ ere some of thel
most base and wicked men 1 ever saw,
while there tierc others ofdecentdepoitiiit~i'it
and amiable nitiiiners. Among the latter
was a young man by the name of Frank
Sturges. who was an excellent violin player.
He often played to aintise himself and the
spi-ciators, wliilo he was awaiting his trial on
a charge of having coiutnitted an assault
upon a.'iother young man. When going
into prison one day about the iitiddle of; the

went into the prison and ‘enquired of Frank
whether he wrote the notice ovr r the tlooi'.
His reply was, that he did. Ithen stated to
him that In-as sorry to see a you.-ng man of
his inti--lligi-i‘ice, talents and r-ducatiori, con
fined in gaol, arid t‘h7ll'g'f’fl \\Il.ll liaving cout-
mitt-d a crime. I think he t'.\'pt‘t'.<.'S‘(l his
regret also, and stated that \\'ll+l'l he should
be re-lens. d, he would so conduct as to avoid
a gaol in ftitiire. This much for the notice
on the door
It is furthrr charged that Mr. Iloyt fur-
nished the pi-isoriors with ardent spirits, tlia
sortie wt-re intoxicated. With regard to this
charge I know nothii.g eitli -r from observa-
tion or otherwise. But since my arrival at
Dinbiiry this week, I have enquirtd of Mr.
Hoyt in relation to this subject, and he an-
tliniiz- s me to iiiake the following stateuieiit .
That on one day after the arrival of the
prisoners fioiu F:-iirfielci, a number of the
friends and acquaintance of Frank Sturgcs
came to see hirii and that some of thcst-. got.
spirits of his bur tender, and carried into the
gaol. M i‘. Hoyt was abseiitat the time ; btit
on his return home, having heard of the
trarisaction, he immt-di:itely put a stop to it.
and forbade its repetition in future. If any
further attack is nitrite on Mr. Hoyt, he must
excuse himself. The act was illegal, and
cannot be justified or tolerated.
But it is further cliarged, that the whole
eighteen prisoners were permitted to occupy
the Hall, both male and female-, in one in-
1llS‘.I'llllIl):llt3 mass. This charge is not true.
Such prisoners as were coiiiiiiitted for slight
offences were permitted to occupy the Hall
moth day and night, and had their beds there;
the l‘t’fl)illt'l(lF.‘l’ t\'i=l'i- locked up in stone Ct‘ll$_
The tveatlier had been for a long tinti-
wet, and the cells became. damp, and, as I
feared, unhealthy; consequently one portion
ofthe prisoners were allow: d to court» into
when these were
shut tip the others were permitted to occupy
it. These are the f.icts in this case. And
now lask, is hiiniaiiity and a reasonable
indulgence extended towards prisonvrs con-
