a DOUBLE EXECUTION IN KENTUCKY

The Cincinnati Commercial has long ac-
count of the execution of Stephen Short and
VIM. Hanning for murder, at Greenupsburg.
KY, last Friday. They were both, according
to the Commercial, worthless, drunken fellows,
and each had large family. The same paper
gives the following speeches and incidents at
the gallows
Short rose and said I'll want all of You to
take warning by me. See what whisky and
bad women have brought me to. 1 have been
to good many hanging scrapes myself, and
thought it great fun but never thought
I'd be hung myself. This is the work OF
Capt. WhisAey. l am willing to die for the
life of the man that took. Talk of pleasure
Il have tried all kinds of it, about shantes
drunk, and everywhere else, but | have had
more real pleasure up in that old Jail, than
ever before in all my life !; and chains on my
legs big heavy chains at that. just took of.
this old coat, and whipped Satan clean out,
fair. I've made my election sure, think
Yes, sir, think my election is sure. (Some
one in the crowd called out, If you are safe,
don't think there is n4uch danger for the rest
of us,) am perfectly willing to die. The
man you have got in Jail for aiding me, is per
fcctiy innocent. and ought to be let go; but
that Blair deserves all I've got. (Bar was the
man who told him to shoot.) He was as much
TO blame as wasf'
Some one inquired-s.Are you willing TO
die, Stcve?' Said he-SsYcs; / hate this
world and my own life,'' and he continued
with an air that was nearly eXulting-ssand
I'm going to leave it; I'll be in Paradise be-
fore sundown. Now, farewell. farewell meet
me in the other world. l want to see you all
in Heaven" An old man, somewhat drunk,
pressed upon him. Short said-.sW Whiskey
brought me to this---I expect you along in
few days!''
IIanning then, quaking in every limb, got
up and said-ssI haven't got anything agains:
any man in the world, and L hope nobody's
got anything against me now
Short repeated this remark. Large numbers
of his acquaintances crowded about, shaking
hands with him and asking questions, until the
last moment. He knew all his old friends.
and exchanged smiles and words of good will
with them until the white cap tied
his face. He stood up firmly as the wagon
was driven away, and said, at that instant,
very distinctly-''Eireweu all my friends,'
whcn the fatal moose checked his uttcrance.

TO OR READERS.

Earing returned from our visit 10 the \ orth
Western counties just as the paper is going TO
press, we are unable to give ti:e history Of cur
tour, as we desired. We must not omit, how
ever, 10 return our thanks 10 the numerous
friends along the road to whom We are indebt-

KING & FOSTER, the accommodating Proprie-
tors ofthe Stage line from this 70 Brookville,-
Nr. J. 7. THOMPSON, proprietor of the Ameri-
can House at that place, (the best house, and
most accommodating and attentive landlord in
the interior of the State) and Mr. BENNETT, of
the Bennett House al Smithport, which is a
first class House, not even surpassed by the
American.
From all these gentleman, and from our
brethern Of the quill, we received tac most
kind and considerate attention, snG they are
entitled to our warmest thanks. Nay they
have al the blessings TO which their kindness
entities them and neverknow sorrow or trouble.

Too PRoUD TO BEG.-It is said there are
thousands of worthy citizens, men and women,
in New York, as there are, no doubt, hundreds
in all other large cities, who are too proud TO
beg or let their circumstances be known and
are, therefore, silently pining in secret desti-
tuition. The Mirror says the pawn-shops only
tell their sad story, and adds :-'sFirst 60 the
lnxuries-the superf1uous furniture-the silver
spoons-the spare clothirg-thc jewelry, even
the bridal ring; and so thorugh the whole in
ventory of articles that can be dispensed with,
while life is retained. To accommodate this
Unborn and inalienable American pride, the
pawn-shops are provided with stalls, so that the
melancholy bartering may be done without eX-
posing the poor victim of that peculiar insti-
tution' to public sh anne. The amount of busi-
ness at these establishments, within the last
three months, exceeds all precedent. Watches,
gold pencils and spoons, have been pledged by
the bashel, and every nameable and unnamea-
bic article of furniture and clothing. A friend
af ours saw poor woman at Simpsons one
day last week, pawning her under clothing to
raise shilling to go to market with. -Another
had cut up her bed, and made it into pillows,
which she had pawned for similar purpose

THE CEIaiEA,

Affairs remain precisely as they were. The
last dttes ara up to 10th ult. Omer Pasha was,
on the 5th. at the camp of the All les, when
measures were concerted between him and
Lord Raglan and Gen. Cinrobert, and on tn e
9Th he returned to Varna. Reiuforccments
continue to reach the Allies, and over 5000 of
the French Imperial Guards and English in
flntry are now at sea, on their way to the
Crimea. The Turks in the Crimea are TO be
made up to $4,000 before the end of Januar y.
The Russian reinforceuents are advancing by
forced marches through Bessarabia. The
weather was frosty and the roads passable, al
though snow had fallen, but the frozen ground
retarded the works of the beseigers.

GREAT TIsEs IN AISsksorA.-Tbe Cover
nor of Minnesota is IN tx. On the Assem-
bling Of the Legislature, Governor Gosma,
refused to deliver his message, for the season
as it was supposed, that the Constitution made
it obligatory Immediately thereafter to elect q
public printer, and the choice of the mem
bers, it was understood, was in favor of pa.
per opposed to his Excelency. Subsequently
he consented to send in his message, then the
Legislature declined to receive it, on the sup
posed ground that they are expecting new
Governor along TO take Governor German s
place. His message, however, leaked out
and has been printed in all the papers, while,
up to the 10Th, ii had not been officially delv-
cred. We learn from the Minnesotian, of the
10th inst that man by the name of Collins,
an auctioneer of st. Paul, called on Governor
German upon business, in course of which an
alteration ensued which ended by the Gov
ernor knocking Collins down. The Governor
has been arrested for assault and battery.

THE DANUBE

The Russians crossed the Danube at Tult-
scha, and favored by the obscurity of the night
they reached the right bank in their boats,
and surprised one of the weakest garrisons,
and after making great carnage, recrossed the
river laden with booty, and taking with them
number of prisoners. There was considera-
! bic loss on the part of the Russians, as the
Turks fought with desperate courage. Among
the slain is Pasha, but his name is not men,
| toned. The inhabitants of Tultscha fed into
the country with their wives and children and
did not return again until long after the de-
parture of the Russians. The Hamburg Wuch-
ricltton contains telegraphc dispatch from
Varna, dated the 14th, wherein it is said that
Count Buol has addressed note to Prince
Gorchakoff, demanding an explanation rela-
tive 10 the recrossing of the Danube by the
Russian forces, and their occupation of Do
bFodja, and thence, matter of course,
menacing Varna and its communications. The
Turkish force now in the Dobrodja IS estima
ted at more than 10000 men, mostly raw re-
cruits, however-the flower Of Omer's army
having gone to the Crimea, against which, it
is said, Omer strongly protested, and still re-
mains much dissatisfied. It is suspected that
the Austrian Government was party to the
eruption at Dobrodja, wishing TO demonstrate
thereby the necessity for 81 armistice.

ted States OF America. James Campbell. dis
covered the fact that one Of the county Post
masters was not only member, but Secretary
Of Know Nothing Council. No time WAS

pointment of another-onc who is not con-
taminated with the 'sbloody heretics.'' Well.
the appointment was rendered 4 very good
man, who after some hesitation accepted the
same. Campbell is satisfied, and so are the
Know \ Nothngs, for the new Postmaster is
President Of the rery same Council Of ,rhich his
predecessor is Secretary, but Campbell doesn't
know it. We would like very much to state
names and office, but this We cannot do, as his

u The Louis vile Journal estimates tho
property, money and labor transferred from the
older States Of the Union to California from
lS49 to 1851, at S45G 900 600, and the products
Of gold during the same time at S249 coo, 600,
leaving balance of S2S0,0o0, 900 against the
Golden State. Besiees this loss in valuah.es,
transferred from the East to the Rocky Noun
tains, il is estimated that the gold product has
been fruitful of evil to this country, by siiihu-
lating speculations and inducing over lmporta-
tions OF foreign merchandise. When IN addi-
ton to the estimates OF immense loss OF life,
time &c. transferred from the old States, and
which remained unproductive, we add the i'm.
mense expense Of the Government in protect
ing California, the Journal thinks il will bs
found e bargain most costly and disastrous.

European Intelligence.

By the arrival of the Africa. at New York.
from Liverpool, we have dates from Europe to
the 14th OF April.
The advices from the Crirhea are exciting
There had been some terrible conflicts before
Sebastopol. On the Esd and Gath of March, the
Russians made u powerful sorte General Os-
ten-Sacken reports that it for the pupose OF
putting a stop to the work of approach made by
the allies near the Kamschaka lunette. which
he describes as perfectly successful The loss
on both sides was considerable. a French col-
onel, French captain and an English captain
were taken prisoners.
The ninth conference was held at Vienna on
the afternoon of the Sth, and lasted but one
hour. The Russian plenipoientinries had not
received their instructions. Drouyn dc l. Hugs
rnd Ali Pacha were pesent.
Nothing important had been received from
Sebastopol up TO April Sth. The position of
both armies were unchanged Night skrmishes
on a small scale continued. The weather was
fne and dry.
The Russians have constructed two new bat
teres and have converted the ambuscades into
an advanced parallel. The French are advan-
cling towards the Malakotf works by serpen-
tine sap.
An important statement is made that the allies
are changing their tactics on the Crimea.
The embarkation of the Sandman troops
would commence from Genoa on the 18th, ia
the English steamers, for Constantnope. and
would be re-shipped from thence to Eupa;oria
TO cooperate with Omar
The Russians have maintained their position
on the TcherAya, and are concentrating towards
Baidav.
Gen. Canroberts despatch estimates the loss
on the night of the 22d--Russians, 700 killed,
1900 wounded. French loss, 200 killed, 400
wounded.
Advices from Odessa and Warsaw speak of
the immense efforts which Russia is making TO
oppose an overwhelming force TO The armies of
the allies in the Crimea
The Grand Duke Constantine had left St. Pc
tersburg for Cronstadt. aud will subsequently,
proceed to inspect ali the strong places along
the coast of the Gulf of Finland. The two
Grand Dukes, Ncholos and Michael, were pre-
paring to return to the Crimea.
The most extraordinary piece of intelligence
by the Africa. is the manifesto of the Emperor
Louis Napoleon relative to the Crimean expe-
dition, which is evidently reply to the famous
pamphlet which was attributed to the pen of
Prince Napoleon, the Emperor's cousin.
The Russian plenipotentiarles refuse to ac-
cede 10 the third proposition, which requires tho
reduction of the Prussian fleet in the Black Sea.
They declare that such demand is contrary to
the dignity and sovereign rights of the Empire.
Parliament was to assemble again on the 17th
of April
Lord Palmerston's administration has sigually
