 Respectfully, WM. T. HAMILTON.
 To this account we annex the following from inc Mobile Register It is awful to coniemplae the losr scene in the life of this youth :-
 Zheiast nsonto,,ts oe Boyingto the Ms,d.,.- Eyy was permitted to proceed until the hour of four haf nearly arrived. He then informed of the necess;T " of closing and directed to prepare for the iaaf scene. The shrond and cap lsai not been pnt nDori h'ns, and ihis annunciaob appears to have been he
 first ereum5tahce ihMf assakene him 10 the renl,v of me late: SIa"dinS under tue eallces wh the istrul mens of death around and above, his preteFnaufal solution and sanguine hope of pardon, reprirse or delay, never gave way until the ministers oi re law consenced robing hm for death and ixing lbe no,sd about His neck. His whole soui, sleeIed and nerye.t as h bad been np to ,at minute, covered and sauk at oHce into abjece despet aiioG.
 A more sudden and fearin transition, aScortiinS to all accounts cannoT well be imagined. When his ais4 ruP and eager inquiries of the attending ministers of religion, Is there no hope 24-musi die 2-were m. s~efed soemny in he negative, .he dreadful certain. shateredS the blood Gorsook his checks aud desnar was written in awful mark upon his assy fea,ures- As wid ctance for the life which he coveted now that death was SO close e hm, he dashed from she foot of i.e scafd, tn the frantic ope of escsue aoono the crowd. Fhis futile effort was easily defeated and
 's remarked, as proof oflhe universal deiessaoue oi the foul crime for which he suffered that shere as no movement of sympathy with his desperaoi, among he crowd. Had there been doubt of i,is Qu;l-Iaef H beeh less airocOnsess snrdid-less covardIy in i,s anpr"voked mercenary blood gui,ness--.here would nave been a" expression, at leae of comIniseraoEr Tor his agony But tAe thousands that surroon ,he pole were passive, and the fugitive who, in his bewi. derment rushed among the military escor raiher haw among tue multitude easily secured, and Fe.co,- dncied lo the spot of execution.
 Some are of opinion, that then, the afiemrt to escape was n accordance with a his other rourse of conduct, and designed 10 obtain the de:ay which he
 nagi""h would carry the time beyond the hour nam ed ID t'e sentence, and thus save his lie. This is corroboraed by the fact of his having inquired of his counsel, alter he shroUaed, whether if he couI Keep the execution off till ailer o'clock he lie counsel, would interfere in his behalE The reply simply admonished him thu, such procras,ina,ofr could take place. When he lea,,ed from the scaf,ld he told the sheriff he would escape # he could.
 Then ensmed scene of horror, which we pray may
 nd no pareel hereafter in the executo0 ofihe laws. The hopeless agony of ihe criminal slspayed in "si'Dae resistance to the performance ofthe Decessa- " duties of the agents of the law; and even when ot last suspended from inc fatal cord his desperate cling. ing 10 the life he had forei,ed shown ly atyiaegleW io free his from he pinons, and cln.ching a, ,S rope. He sucreeded in ihrnssing his hands between the rope and his throat, and 'us resisting and siru- gling 'o the lasiied despairing and for aught ,Lrt human eye conld read apeniient The last Eve min ut"s o his life were marked by horror of dying, n Pr"s'ral'on of energies. remarkabe ha inc ot nerve and reckless lcvity of carriage which had ssnazed him during the whole of the trial and D the interval between condemnation and execution, up to- thai moment, \.. ..<..
 Such ,he end of Charles R. s. Boving,on--a, dreadful cad ofa bloody tale. The horror O e pun- !shment with which it closes, compares ly, in tragic inte nstv oi interest, with the terrible a.r"cy of ihe crime. The victim--a gentle and coniding invalid, ieH by the hand of assassn-hat assassin h. pso- fessed friend, in an open thoronshfar beneath the walls ol grave yard-'he busy hum of human voices warning hm of the neghbnrhoOd of buay life. and the iomhs o ihedead speaking the murderer of the cad of ''fe-ihe beginning of eternity.
