SEVERITY OF PRUssIAN MILITARY DiscIPLINE-A
correspondent from Randers, in Northern Julian,
dated the 30th of June, has the following:
"On Monday last, when the I'd Battalion of the
18th regiment of the Prussian Landwehr, which
is garrisoned at Randers, was ordered to attack
Danish post which had taken up position on the
borders of the neighborng forest, man named
Christian Schreiner, soldier of that battalion, was
found missing, and did not return until the follow
ing morning On being brought before court mar
tiai, Schreiner was declared guilty of having con-
cealed himself to avoid facing the enemy, and he
was condemned to be shot. Schreiner petiioned for
pardon to Lieutenant General Prittwitz, coInman-
der-in- chief of the German troops in the Danish
States That officer commuted the sentence, and
ordered that he should receive one hundred blows
on the bare back with sticks. Schrener under
went his punishment yesterday morning, in pres
ence of our garrison, and FIVE and one sergeant
Of each company quarered in the neighborhood
of Randers He stripped to the waist and
then tied to the post, when two drummers, each
armed with a sharp edged stick, took their stand
by his side. On the signal being given by the Off
Ger, the two drummers struck the man simultane-
ousiy. At first, Schriener shrieked most fearfuy,
but by degrees his voice weakened, and at last he
became speechless. At the AID blow the head of
the sufferer fell one side, and his body dropped.
1t was then found that he corpse; his spine
was acknowledgements Herald.

THE WASHINGTON UNION AND BLOODY AxBs.-
The last number of the Washington Union has an
article headed, "The Butchers Grinding their
Ares." This is enough to frighten all the little
children and old women in the nation Ii none
other than the heads of innocent calves and squeal-
ing pigs were in peril, the shock to ones nerves
would b, less affective. But Old Father Richie
says that the Wing butchers, the regular out-and-
out Murats that hold Office in Washington, are
doing all this grinding of axes in order that they
may chop off the heads of good Democrats Ugh.
We understand that some of the Locofocos in
this neigbSorhood have discontinued the edifyng
practice of reading the Union aloud in the presence
of their children. The reason is, that the fright
ful accounts that the papers contain OF Democrats
without any heads, and whig butchers with bloody
axes in their hands, have so wrought on the fan
ces of the little LocolocOs that there is not boy
or girl who is not afraid to 60 into dark room -
The little Locos in trowsers and slips are haunted
by blood thirsty spectres all night. In this atfilc-
tive condition of family affairs, the old Locos have
resolved that they will not permit their sons and
daughters, who are not we'll versed in the Ggura-
tive language of Locolocoism, to hear or to read
any more articles which the Washington Union
contains This is prudential step, rendered nee
essary by considerations of domestic comfort Ne
ro, it is said, was perverted sadly by seeing and
hearing of scenes of blood; and if the Locofocos
would not have all their children to grow up like
Nero, they must not undertake to edIy them with
articles from Mr. Ritchies paper, until that old
gentemans taste for blood and thunder is satiated,
and like Ieech fat leg, falls off from reple
tion.--Lou. Journal.
