an apparatus to be used in firing cannon Ii is
expected to save about onethird of the force OF

AN APPALLING ScENE.-On Friday, The

Two slaves found guilty Of the murder of
Mrs. Garrett, were executed according to
sentence. Three or four thousand people
were present. The woman confessed her
guilt, was penitenl, said she deserved death,
and that she was instigated TO, and assisted
in committing The deed, by the negro man,
Randall, all of which he positively denied,
and was stubborn as mule TO the last. A
spectator says it was truly affecting 10 see
four little children belonging to the guilty
woman, Two pair OF twins, none of them
old enough TO walk. She told her husband,
children, and other negroes TO take warning
from her fate, how they listened TO the advice
of evil doors. AT precisely one o'clock, the
plank was knocked from under them. and
they were launched into eternity. Alter
they had hung about five minutes, from
some cause there seemed TO be panic in
the crowd, when the cry Of "mad dog, "
earthquake" &c. was raised by some mis-
chievous persons, and a general rush of the
spectators took place, running in every
direction and over one another, horses break
ing loose and dashing through he crowd and
crppling women and children, and several
Of the latter separated and lost from their
parents, but providentially no lives lost
The writer describes the scene as awful and
sublime in the extreme, reminding him of a
terrific tornado. In Is or 20 minutes, order
was again restored, and the criminals were
cut down. Drunkenness and riotine prevailed
around the village in the evening.-A. s.
