An appeal. --A lady correspondent, under the above head, writes that Elizabeth A. Davis, whose address is Meherrin Depot, Prince Edward county, Va., has been several times to the city to seek pardon for her husband, Jos. P. Davis, who was imprisoned for man-slaughter in self-defence, for a term of 18 years, he having struck another man a blow on the head which proved fatal, the man having approached him with a gun pointed at him threatening to shoot. The lawyers for the defendant were John T. Thornton, Esq., and Samuel C. Anderson, Esq., of Prince Edward, and also Thomas T. Green, Esq., of Halifax. The man is reported to have borne an excellent character, and will now be willing, together with his wife, to spend their time in the service of their country. And the question is, as the Penitentiary is already so over-crowded, whether this will not be a deserving case of pardon. Ten years of his term have new expired.
