Hyandot Erecution.-The Bucyrus,
Crswford county, D. Democrat gives
the particulars OF trial for murder and
execution Of young wysndo, Indian.
according TO the la,os Of The tribe
The execution took place at Upper San
susky. Crawford county, on the 5,h OF
October last. The irlsl was by the males
of the tribe assembled in full council.
Witnesses we're examined before The
whole assembly, and cross examined by
the accused; and AFTER they had hssred
the testimony, and the accused in his own
defence, he was, by an almost unalli-
nous roie. pronounced guilty Of murder.
he was sentenced to be shot, which sem
fence was executed accordingly.
Though justice, according To The forms
Of savage iaw, was thus done to the muir.
derer, II appears strange that such pro-
csedIng should have been permitted in an
organized and populus county Of Ohio.
From the narrative il would sppear that
some white men participated in the cere.
monies al the execution. Ohio Star.

VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE.
The examination Of the Cadets, which
commenced ON Thursday, the LIST day of
July, term mated on Thursday, the 9Th,
and the Board Of Visitors adjourned on
the 10th.
Too much credit cannot be given TO the
Board and especially 20 the distinguished
gentlemen who came from remote sec.
tons of the Commonwealth without com.
pensatlon, for their patient. and arduous
abors in the cause of an institution which
richly repays in honors all who have fos.
tered and nursed II in infancy. 1t is now
less than two years since il sprang into
existence, and in that briel period it has
earned reputation exalted and deserving.
engagements, and other. causes precluded
US from n personal attendance at the late
examination, but we are assured by dis
tinguished gentlemen who Witnessed it
throughout, that it would be difficult TO
speak in too strong terms Of commenda.
ton Of the merits Of the Professors and the
mass Of young gentlemen composing the
corps of Cadets. Virginia is the first and
only State of the Uuion that has estab.
ished n Military State Institution, and
that TOO upon terms but little understood,
and comprehended but by few.
In point or truth, the State pays nothing
for the education Of the numerous young
men, who are here preparing themselves
10 be the future bulwnIk aud ornaments
Of the State. The public depository of
arms al this institution, whilst it was an
Arsenal guarded by garrison Of enlisted
soldiers. cost the Stale for protection, the
sum Of SO, 900 annually. The same up.
preparation without increase, is given 10
her Military Institute for what projection
10 the public arms. That projection has
become more secure, and the Military and
scientific instruction taught here enures TO
the Commonwealth without one cent Of
charge to the public treasury. As part,
therefore, OF an improved sy stem Of gene
raj education, If the benefits Of this school
were enlarged, by u liberal appropriation
from our uuprofitabIs literary fund, we
bat echo an enlightened public sentiment,
when we say, that the appropriation
would yield an hundred fold Of good over
shy other part of the existing expend-
ture.
In giving an imperfect account Of the
iHto examination, II might seem nvidious
TO discriminate, among so many young
gentlemen who distinguished themselves
and especially among so many who strug
gled hard and approached so near the first
honors Of their class. Yet we make no
other discrimination than the enlightened
Board Of Visitors have been constrained
to make in awarding tho order Of merit,
when we announce that the following
young gentlemen received the FIRST honors
in their respective classes.
