 CINCINNATI, November P, 1S43. DEAR SRI have time only to say, that have reached this city on my journey to Washington, in good health; and to request that my name may not be submitted to the Democratic Convention, proposed to be held at Little Rock, in December next. could not. under any circumstances, consent to De- come candidate, again, for Congress and should conceive it my duty to decline no- imitation for Governor. need not say, that shall cordially support the nominees of the Convention, for both those offices, nor IS i necessary to assure you, or the people of Ar kansas, of my sincere and heartfelt gratitude for past manifestations of confidence and ia vor. But candor requires an explicit avow- al of my determination to withdraw iron public life, if not forever, at least, until my private business shall have received that at tention due alike to myself, my family ane my creditors. pray you, to make this de termination known to the Convention, II such manner as you may deem most advisa ble, should it, under any circumstances, be- come necessary.
 Very truly and sincerely,

THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED.-Hors-
es should never be put to severe work
on a full stomach. More horses are
hurt by hard driving after a full feed,
than by a full feed after hard driving.
If the farmer wishes TO have his pork
barrel and meal chest hold out, let him
look well to his kitchcn garden. Plen-
ty Of vegetables conduce not more to
health than to profit.
As you treat your land so it viii treat
you. Feed it with manures literally,
and it will yield you bread bountifullv.
Avoid debt as you wou'd the leprosy.
Fl you are eve tempted to purchase on
credit, put it off for three days. You
need time for reflection.
Never beg fruit, or any thing else you
can produce by the expenditure of a lit
lie time or labor. 1t is as reasonable 10
expect u man to give away the products
Of his wheat field, as of his orchard or
fruit garden.
The man who uses good seed, has a
good soil, and works il in good season,
rarely fails o. having a good crop to re-
ward his toll.

MILITARY EXECUTION.
Eighip Men Shot,

Among the icms of news brought by
the last arrival from Canton, was a notice
of the execution Of the rebels of the Third
Regiment, who, a short time before, had
risen upon and murdered some of their
officers. They were tried, condemned
and shot. The following is an account Of
The dreadful affair:
On the 9Th OF February, upwards Of 80
OF the rebels were sentenced to die the
death of TRAITORS; Al were executed on the
9Th, and the others on the llth ult., each
day at 7, A. NJ. The spectacle was most
imposing and awful.
The criminals, the day previous to their
execution. were imprisoned in barracks
in the mel hborhood of The artillery ground.
accompanied by their confessors, and their
executioners placed over them. At about
half past six each morning, they were
unshackled, having only their arms tied,
and were marched between two files of
soldiers their executioners) to the ground,
on which a large orce was already sta
toned, consisting of about 5000 troops,
forming three sides OF a square. As The
mournful procession approached, an officer
proclaimed aloud to the troops, that who
ever should ask for the pardon of any of
the criminals should be shot.
The remainder of the regiment to which
the criminals belonged formed The bottom
of the square, and behind them a strong
boly of cavalry was posted, before whom
their late companions in arms, the mutin.
GERS, were led 10 hear their sentence read,
which was quickIy got over, and they
were then marched up TO the vacant side
Of the square, where they were placed in
file, kneeling in front of n hi!lock, used
rs an artillery but,; their execuIioners
filed of behinl them. and in an instant
their bayonets were unhXed, the priests
informed them that the hour had come,
and the words, make ready, present, fire,
were given instanter, and the file of crilE-
ina,s simultaneously fell like a wall,
Or statue from its base o'etthrown.
There was scarcely the space of a ward
between the muskels and their victims;
many continued 10 writhe on the ground,
but not q sound Of any kind was heard
save lue OTueT W It-iUdl, 10! no reserve
was in readiness, and an agonizing delay
was thus caused in finally despatching the
unfortunate wretches.
The troops fired in a running fire; no
particular criminal was assigned, but they
We're ordered TO fire at the ones most in
front.
The same awful scene was performed
on the lltb and on that day the sergean,
who led the rebels ut the instruction,
was strangled by the ~screwing machine,
in the same square. and altetward the
right hand cut off.
So soon as it was evident that life was
extinct in all The criminals, the %various
regiments were marched, with music play
ing past the bodies, and then home 10 tfeir
quarters.
Ga the oh the criminals were placed
close to each other 10 suffer death but
on the llth the more considerable method
of separating them a yard or two was
adopted.
Thus ended The rebellion of part ofthe
Third British Regiment of the line.

WoMAN's HEART.-A New Haven poet,
who has recently published a volume OF

Yet when he formed her heart, he patterned from
his own !"
W. have seldom, if ever, seen a happier

THE SONG
p o ID u B Y 0


Print, comrades, print; a noble task
Is the one we gaily ply;
IT'S ours to tell to all who ask,
The wonders Of earth and sky!
We catch the thought all glowing warm,
As II leaves the Students brain:
And place the stamp of enduring form
On Poets airy strain.
Then let us sing, as we nimbly fling
The slender letters round;
A glorious thing is our laboring,
Oh where may its like be found.
Print, comrades, print ; the fairest thought
Ever limncd in Painters dream.
The rarest form e'er sculptor wrought,
BY tho light of beauty's CLEAN,
Though lovely, may not match the power,
Which our own proud Art can claim;
That links the past with the present hour,
And its breath the voice of fame.
Then let us sing, as we nimbIy fling
The slender letters round
A glorious thing, lie our laboring,
Oh where may its like be found!
Print, comrades, print; God hath ordained
That man by his toll should live;
Then spurn the charge, that We disdained
The labor that God would give!
We envy not the sons of ease,
Nor the lord in %princely hall;
But bow before the wise decrees
In kindness meant for us all.
Then let us sing, as we nimLly fling
The slender letter round;
Aglorious thing is our laboring,
Oh where may its like be found.

ANOTHER MARY ROGERS cAsE.-The New
@pYo Aurora states that on Monday the
body Of a yourg and lovely female was
found floating in the North River, at the foot
Of Thirtv-Sixth street, near the lumber yard
Of Campbell & Moody. She was taken from
fhe water, and found TO be far advanced in
pregnancy. She was apparently about II
years Of age. Her hair was a dark auburn,
her teeth were partly gone, and her face
much disfignred. She was dressed 10 a cal
leo gown, muslin p%etticoat and chemise, cot
ton stockings, aud black leather Shoes
The marks about the face may have been
produced by remaining in the water, but
were probably administered by some fend
in human shape, who has, after discovering
the result of a guilty intercourse with the
young girl, inflicted wounds upon her TO
prevent recognition, and consigned her TO a
walery grave. Like the case of Mary Rog;

From the Mothers Magazine.
THE YOUNG MOTH

No deeper emotion can touch the hu.
man heart than thrills thro' every nerve
when the young mother looks on her first
born. A cord is struck before untouched.
AS the boy sleeps quietly in his cradle
she gazes on him with feelings to which
she had before been a stranger. She has
loved her husband 49, her affections have
been warm towards father, mother, broth
ers and sisters. But now her emotions
are OF a new class - different order
strange-unde6nab le-so tender that her
eve fills with tears while she gazes so
rapturous that her blood dances in wild
yet soft delight through her veins. In its
strength it may be felt again-in its strange
novelty it never returns. A mother knows
it now, or remembers it as past, but both
pen and tongue are utterly powerless to
describe it.
From infancy to romping childhood,
when sickness and fears are absent, what
an incessant source of delight is found in
every new indication of intelligence! The
