A TELEGRAPHIC HOAX.—The following "special
despatch" to the British Columbian produced a pro-
found sensation, and called forth columns of grave comment
from the Victoria papers on the policy of tho execution. It
was issued as an extra, headed "Highly important news,"
" Execution of Davis and Breckenridge." " Washington,
Juno 8. The trial of Jeff. Davis and John C. Breckenridge,
which has been progressing for the past week before a
military tribunal, has been brought to a termination. The
court has found them guilty of high treason, and accessory
before the fact to murder of Abraham Lincoln. Although
the result of the trial was almost a foregone conclusion,
yet the most intense excitement prevailed in Washington
when the decision was made known. Excited crowds rushed
towards the prison, which was strongly guarded. The ex-
ecution was fixed for 11 o'clock on Friday, the 9th, in front
of the old capitol prison." " Washington, June 9. At an
early hour this morning vast multiiudes of people began to
collect in the streets in the neighbourhood of the old capitol
prison, and by six o'clOck no standing room could be found
within two or three squares of the prison. At 8 o'clock an
excursion train arrived from Baltimore,comprising 47 cars,
thronged with a large and excited crowd, intent upon wit-
nessing the execution of those infamous traitors, Jeff.
Davis and John C. Breckenridge. A strong force of troops
under General Williams was distributed throughout the
city to prevent any danger which might arise from the
presence of the disloyal elements, as well as to keep within
bounds tho intensely excited loyal citizens. The news
was immediately telegraphed to all parts of the United
States, producing the most intense excitement, the people
in some places indulging their feeling to the extent of
cannon, bonfires, &c. As the hour for the execution ap-
proached, the crowd and excitement in the neighbourhood
of the prison were intense. The place was strongly
guarded, and the most rigid regulations were enforced. At
11 o'clock Jeff. Davis and John C. Breckenbridge emerged
from the prison, and, under a strong guard, marched across
the yard to the place of execution. The gallows was one
which had been used on several occasions except the
crossbeam."—(Here the telegraph line, which had been
working very imperfectly, completely gave out.—En. 8.C.)
The indignation of the Victoria papers when they dis-
covered they had been made the victims of a most unfeel-
ing hoax may be imagined.—Torordo Globe, July 27.
