Executed for Barbarity to sIave.-From

Executed for Barbarity to Slave.-From
the Charleston STANDARD we copy the following:
"The persons, Thomas Motley and William
Blackedge who were lately sentenced TO receive
the extreme penalty of the law, for the murder of
a slave were sent from the Jail OF this district on
the evening before last, to the town of Waterboro,
where the execution will occur to-day. They
have influential friends, and it apprehended
that an effort would be made to effect their rescue.
To avoid the possibility of this however, de-
tachment of the Charleston light dragons was
started at 3 O'clock on "Wednesday morning, to go
by land to the place of execution, while detach-
ments Of artillery having the prisoners in charge,
left for the same place on Wednesday night.
They proceeded on board the Colonel Myers, as
far as Jacksonboro', Is miles from Walterboro,
and from that point were TO have marched to the
latter place. where il is supposed they arrived at
an early hour Yesterday. II is reported that even
up to the hour of, their starting the prisoners
pressed a confident belief that they would be res
cued or shot by their friends before they could be
hung.
The measures for the enforcement of the law
are so well concerted and sufficient that evasion
or escape is hardly possible The crueltes inlict-
ed by these misguided men upon the miserable
victim Of their barbarty were ef a character so
revolving, as to be irreconcilab!e with any other
supposition than that they were frenzied by in
toxication. No defence Of this kind, however,
was set up so far as we have heard; and If il had
been would have had little effect in protecting
them from the sentence of that law they had so
grossly violated, the stern and indignant sent-
ment which enforces II.
From the Epeaing News of the subsequent day,
the following sequel 10 this is extracted.
1--WE learn that Motley and Backledge were hung
yesterday morning at Walterboro,s within the
hours prescribed by their sentence, without the
least disturbance. Their bodies were cut down,
and taken TO Georges staton previous 10 being
sent to Columbia TO be buried

the frmness and wisdom of our enlightened Ex.
executive in maintaining in this instance so signal

tone Of the State. He meets the appreciation of

Insane Asylum.-lt will be recollected that, in
August, 1852, Congress made an appropriation of
$l00 900 to erect hospital for the insane in the
District Of Columbia, and that, in pursuance of
this law, the farm of Mr.. Thomas Blagden, situated
about two and a half miles southeast of the Capt.
toll and about mile east Of the navy yard was
purchased as the most eegible site. The tract of
land embraced upwards OF one hundred and
eghty-five acres, one-half of which is in high
state of cultivation, and the remainder in timber.
The situation is beautiful commanding fine view
of the city OF Washington, of Georgetown, Alex
andria and the circumjacent country for many
miles. The tract was bought for the sum OF
twenty-five thousand dollars Another tract of
eight acres, adjoining, was purchased for the sum
of two thousand dollars.
Doubts were expressed by some persons as 10
the salubrity Of the particular neghborhood of the
selected site, but, from the testimony of several
physicians, and others having the best opporuni-
ties Of forming correct and disinterested judg-
ment according TO public document just pub
lished) il is said there can be no doubt that the
locality selected is, in remarkable degree, ex-
empt from diseases which ordinarily arise from
malaria, and that il is highly accessible every way,
and at the time situated that it is not like
ly to be encroached upon by the growth of the
city, and retired that patients viii be very little
exposed TO its teeming population-condtions gen
orally difficult TO attain, and at the same time of
the greatest Importance.
On the 18th Of February, $3O445 G5 of the
100000 remained yhexpended. Three sections
Of the buildings were at that time enclosed, and
the estimated cost of the interior materials and
work yet to be finished and done, and of furnish
ing, is Sl0,415 65, which leaves $4,000 towards
the completion Of the other two sections the foun
dations of which are laid, and the brown-stone
