CONFESSION AND EXECUTION OF
NATHAN CRIsT,
For the Murder Of Theodore Nyc.

The execution of Crst for the murder oI
Theodore Nye, took placs yesterday at hall past
three o'clock, p. NJ.
Some thousand or fifteen hundred per1dns,
composed of men, women and even children,
were assembled on the outside of the Jail, with
the hope of being admitted to witness this closing
scene in the life of a great criminal All the
houses within the vicinity were crowded in all
their parts looking towards the Jail.
The hour for the execution was ftod at two
o'clock, but, at the earnest solicitations Of the
criminal, the sheriff, Cen Lang, deferred the
execution until the latest momeht-and even
came to the post Office at oelock,a similar SOL
citaiions--the prisoner hoping that something
might be found in the mail for his benefit
About two hundred persona were admitted
within the jail walls.
During the last hour Crist requested to see Mr.
Walker witness on the trial. That gentleman
came and brief ceversation was held between
him and the prisoner. Crist said 10 him that he
was mistaken Ia bis evidence. where he stated
that he had seen him Crisp on the steamboat
81. Charles--lhat he was not on board that boat
He concluded by expressing tho hope that the
citizens Of Mobile would have compassion enough
to see that his body was inferred decently.
Before the execution and up 10 the last mo.
ment, The prisoner exhibited great calmness He
walked to the scafIoId with firm step, surveyed
the instrument of death deliberately, and seemed
TO be as little interested in Il as were those who
we're assembled around him as spectators
While the sheriff was adjusting the rope around
his neck be spoke in tones of calmness, and just
before the fatal fall was given, his last words
wrere, "God bless you, and God bless me-" ad'
dessing himself to the Sheriff.
The execution was managed skilfu'ly and
kinkly, and the prisoner died evidently without
much pain.
Below we publish copy of the confession
which made to his spiritual adviser, Rev. Mr.
Massey.
II is a plible story, this cohfession--and
we hope il may be used TO profit by those who
are treading the thorny paths which, in the
case of this youthful but hardened criminal, have
led to se sorrowiul an end.

who has sincerely at his heart the best interests
of the slave and the master, may no longer be
governed BY blind zeal and impulse, but be
led to examine this subject, so full of delicacy
and danger in ali It's bearings; and that when
called upon to lend their names and influence to

we live under written constitution, which is
the panoply and protection Of the South as well
as The NORTH tha, it covers the whole Union,

and trust, further, that they will no longer close
their eyes TO the fact, that so far as those in
whose welfare they express So mnsh feeling are
concerned, this foreign interference has been,
and must inevitably continue to be, evil, and on.

their incendlary measures. And in eloquent
notes of warning he predicted, that, although The
public mind was not then agitated on this sub.

was below the surface profound movement, re.

THE CONFESSION.

Having no longer any hope Of escaping the
Just sentence Of the law, and trusting. through
Gods mercy, TO secure the salvation Of my SOU
during the short time have yet TO live, hereby
make TOLL confession Of my guilt in the awful
murder Of Theodore Nye.
The idea Of committing The murder first en-
tered my mind on the morning Of the day we LEFT
New Orleans for Mobile. Nye told me that he
had a large sum Of money, and was on his way
to Caifornia--and this tempted me TO commit
the deed. Having heard him say that be had
some friends 10 Mobile, told him that ] was
coming here, and IL be would come along, !
would ray his passage. II was then my inien
ton 70 Kill him on the way here; but my heart
failed me, and ! abandoned the idea entirely.
then determined 10 90 TO Montgomery on the day
Of our arrival hcre-but when J went 10 the
New Orleans boat for my baggage, the servant
who had charge Of ], was away, and could not
get Il. returned 10 the Hotel that time, and
the Devil again put it into my head 10 kill Nye
went and bought a hammer resolving 10 eK-
ecuie my purpose during the night. bat my heart
fsilei me, and on the morning Of the 26ih
arose, again determined to give il up altogether
I lef my room early, Nye being asleep, having
been out the night before. Two or three times
before Breakfast, went to The room 10 kill him,
but could not do III ! ate breakfast and went
again up 10 our room and told him to "get up and
come and get bis breakfast" and left the ROOM
Alter awhile | started up stairs again, without
any idea Of rs1rder, bot when entered the
room, Nye being sill in bed The frs; object thai
met my eye was the aecsrsed hammer which !
bad purchased. IA a momeat-in what seems
now a whir Of dersngemeni-I seized The ham
mer and slroye 10 b0u il 10 his temple lie

SILENT REPRoof.-=Some years ago, ] was
| going down the James river In a steamboat, In
company with several clergymen, whose eyes
may alight on these few lines. There was also
wi b US Judge Of one Of the Virginia courts,
much celebrated for bis eccentriciy and his Pc.
Mus. In the course Of conversation, mention
was made Of the Rev. DIR. John H. Rice, then
lately deceased. The attention Of the Judge
was awakened, and he related the following an-
ecdate:
81 was once crossing the James river at Os.
born's Ia company with Dr. Rice. When we
reached the further side, II became necessary tor
US to be carried ashore on the shoulders of the
black ferrymen. One Of these, not sufficiently
careful, let my cloak drag in the water, upon
which visited him with a sudden oath. DR..
Rice, who was Immediately before me, and had
Just landed on the bank, drew up his tall fngure.
and turned bis large, speaking eye upon me,
with an expression Of mingled surprise and sor-
row.
'Perceising tha, he was a clergyman,I instant.
u begged his pIrdou, though h. had no, uttered q
syllable. Your offence is not against me- said
he. The implication was obvious and affecting,
and shall never loose the remembrance Of it
as long as live."-Americdn Messenger.
