Execution OF C.Ea.ZY.

There seems to be but one opinion among
all classes as to the barbasity displayed at
the execution Of this Indian on Friday last.
1t was not enough for the 6ends incarnate
who attended the execution, that the poor
fellow should expiate his crime upon the
scafold, but his expiring moments were dis
turbed by the laughs aud jeers of the de-
bauched in the crowd, and with words o.
jest and scofling, uttered in his own language
by persons in he shape Of men, who were
spectators Of the awful scene. A gentle
man of our acquaintance who has witnessed
many executions, informs us that for bcas-
TALLY and infamy, the one Of Friday stands
out without a parallel and that those in
attendance seemed much more like savages
than he, over whose death-throes they had
congregated to glut t. cir unhallowed eyes,
Snch conduct should be frowncd upon by
every lover of decency III community.

AMERIcAxsAFFAIRsIN CHIyA.-A letter to
the Boston Journal, under date Of Canton,

A Card from Capt. Simpson.

We publish below a card from Capt j.
H. SIMPSON, relative to charges which are
made against him, as Superintendent of
Government Roads in Minnesota, by the
Saint Croix Union. Capt. S. maintains the
bearing of an honorable gentleman in his
communication; and VIC do not feel called
upon to stepin between him and his libeller,
further than to state, that the requests he
makes are reasonable and such as should be
promptly complied With. Meanwhile, the
charges cannot operate to the prejudice Of
Capt. SIMPSON, among those who know him
personally, aud who are acquainted with his
capacity and integrity as public officer
For the Daily Mime ota Pioneer.
"PolNr DOUGLAS ANDSr. LOUIS RIVER ROAD.
What is the matter, and where is the Supernten-
dent in charge Of the Government Roads this Ter
ritory? And where is the money appropriated at
the last session of Congress for the continuance Of the
same?
We are credbiy informed that the $40, 1000 last
appropriated for the continuance of the road, from
Point Douglas to ST. Louis River, has long since
expended on said road where it 10 much needed and
properly belongs it is in the hands of st. Paul
Bankers, (harpers) where it is loaned at the rate
Of from three to FIVE per cent. per month thus de-
prvng the citizens OF the valley Of ST. Crox Of that
much needed road to enable them to reach the ex-
tensive Pine regions Of the morrill, for which said road
was mainly intended"
The above very serious charge against me,
Mr.. Editor, is extracted from the Saint
Croix Union, of the Goth instant, and if true
must consign me to that low place of infamy,
to which such an abuse Of a public trust always
does, or should consign an offender. In order
therefore that the editor of the Union may be
more explicit upon the subject, and the public
I've more fully informed of all the facts charged,
would respectfully request of him, that the
credible person from whom he says he has re
ceived his Information, come out over his own
signature, and state all he knows about the
matter; or in default of this, that he, the edi-
tor, give his informant's name, and state all
that he has, or can obtain from him in regard
to the accusation which he has made. Surely
after having assumed the responsibility of Civ.
ing publicity to so serious charge, he cannot
hesitate to grant so small boon as this; par.
ticularly as by so doing, he would be more full
ly enlightening the public, which I suppose
was his object, in going so far as he has in his
charge; and in the meanwhile, the public is
assured that so soon as the gentleman shall
have done his whole duty in the premises, the
undersigned will not be backward in following
it up With statement, which, he feels conf
dent, will meet with appreciation.

To-day is the first Of eighteen hundred
and iifty=fye and at looking back on the
year that has passed, how many memories
crowd upon the mind--of joys we have tas-
ted, Of SORROWS endured, Of hopes realized
and anticipations blasted! We might write
volumes on the growth of our Territory; the
advancement she has made in wealth and
population; her Improvement in educational
facilities; her rapid strides towards the por-
tails of the Union; but we have evidences
of these before us; we see them in the new
ly erected, stately edifces in our midst; the
thronged streets Of our city; and the rap
idly populating country. The past year has
been one crowned with joy and gladness to
the greater part Of our people. Death in
a few instances has thrown his sable mantle
over the homes of some of our citizens, but
his yisitations have been unfrequent to us as
a city; while as Territory, we have been
blessed with unusual health and happiness.
Minnesota is infinitely more prosperous than
she was twelyemonth ago. 10 ,a.-,..'.
We wish for our patrons and friends-for
all, friend or foe, a Happy New Year ;
and that the end Of eighteen hundred and
ffty-five, may find all as happy as it is the
lot of man to become. ...

From our Regular New York Correspondent %.
Matters and Things in New York.

..--,.,. ,....... New YORK, Dec. Is, 1854.
After ride of two hundred miles through
uninterrupted snow-bahks, one is rather sur
prised to find himself promenading dry flags
and cobble-stones in New York. The city is
innocent of snow. Yet the weather we have
here is dispiriting enough; rainy; foggy, true
London weather. The sun has forsaken us, for
the seat of war, or some other centre of in
terest. Coming from cheerful firesides of Yam
keedom, where nuts are cracked, and apples
eaten, one is struck by the careworn, anxious
expression which sits on all the "old, familiar
faces" from the Wall street banker to the Full
ton Ferry apple-woman. The countenances of
business men are "Signs of the times" betO-
kening bankruptcy, famine, and all such dire
full visions. Therefore the city is doleful though
Fashion spreads her peacock tail no less su-
pcrbly than of old. Among the poor there is,
and will be through the winter, o great deal
of suffering. 1t is difficult to obtain employ
ment and many are thrown out of occupation
by the reverscs OF employers. The benevolent
societies of this and the adjoining cities are la
boring faithfully to improve the condition Of
the various classes of poor whom they have ia
ken in charge The Female Employment So
ciety, of Brooklyn, is affording the means OF
support to many INDECENT seamstresses, by ena-
bling them to dispose Of their work at remu-
nerative prices. One would think from the
dolorous outcry, that We were all in danger of
starvation. Everybody is frightened. ! But
while fishes swim the water and cattle walk the
land the great mass OF the metropolis shall be
filled. 49,. f''5s i,a4
In connection with this melancholic train OF
observations, we may appropriately speak Of
the Central Bank of this city. This Bank
was broken by an arbitrary action Of the
Clearing House." which Institution in fact,
possesses the power of breaking almost any
bank in the city, if it chooses to try. The
Clearing House operates in this way: Each
city Bank receives daily from its depositors,
checks upon aud notes Of the different banks.
A messenger from each bank meets at 10 A.
NJ, at the Clearing House, the next day, and
exchange checks and notes; at II M. the banks

The IMMERSION BIBLE.-We have
understood, from various quarters. that
that portion of the Baptist denomination
who are engaged in preparing new
version of the Scriptures intended to
favor iminersionists, have been endeav-
oring to make capital for their enter
prise by stating that some seven or
eight of the evangelical denominations
were cooperating in the work, and
amongst others Old-school Presby-
terians. We replied to the inquiries Of
correspondent on the subject, some
weeks since. Recently, we have been
again written to, and learn that in ad-
dition to the general statements Just re-
ferred to, the same parties have publish.
ed the name, and an extract from let
ter from the Rev. j, Addison Alexan-
der, d. d. in such a connexion as to
make the impression that he countensn-
ces their proceedings. To Presbyte-
rians generally it is scarcely necessary
to say that the latter imputation is en-
tirely unwarranted and untrue. We
have the best authority for stating that
DR.. Alexander wholly disapproves of
all schemes for new English Bible to
replace the common one, as insufficient
to attain their end, and certain to in
crease existing evils, and that he has
never expressed his appreciation of these
schemes in any way whatever.
DR.. Alexander's name was drawn in
to this matter in this wise. The Rev.
Mr.. Lille, of the Second Presbytery of
New York, was engaged by the new
versionists to translate for them certain
portions of the Scriptures-such parts,
however, we understand as did not in
any way involve the baptism controver-
sy. Mr.. Lille having completed his
work. submitted it to DR.. Alexander,
who by letter expressed his satisfaction
with the literary merits of the transla-
tion. II was from this that the extract
was taken which has been so industri-
cusly circulated, without any explana-
ton of the circumstances, by the Bap-
tist Bible Union. In expressing his
opinion, DR.. Alexander had no more
reference to the scheme of a new Bible,
than he had in publishing his own trans
lation of Isaiah and the Psalms, which
nothing would induce him, even if de-
sired by others, to set up in opposition
to the authorized version. We take oc-
casion to add, in justice to Mr.. Lille,
that the publication alluded to was
made, as we understand, without his
We will not suffer ourselves

characterize such conduct

SINKING OF AN ENGLIsu VESSEL BY A
WHALE.-The London Shipping Ga
zette of the e6th March published the
following report of Captain Jones, of

madoc, which was sunk in the North
Sea by whale:
"The Waterloo sailed from Lima for

so miles, wind E., strong gale and high
seas, vessel under double-reefed can
vass, upon a wind, on the port tack,
perceived large whale to windward,
coming down for the vessel, partly out
of the water, and swimming at very
rapid rate; and when about ten yards
from the ships side, dipped, and struck
the vessel under water, abreast of the
fore-rigging. on the port side, with his
head, with fearful blow, when the
vessel was perceived to keel and crack;
and after striking the vessel, the whale
plunged in the deep head foremost, and
rose his tail on high, nearly touching
the fore-yard, and then disappeared.
"The pumps were fixed and worked,
but by half-past l9, found she had five
feet water in the well, and settling down
fast, when the long boat was cleared
and lashings cut away, and nearly
floated off the decks, when all hands
(six in number) jumped into her, with
out food or water, and the master, mate,
and two men, without jackets, and only
one oar and a piece of another in the
boat, with the sea running very high
In about twenty minutes after abandon
ing the vessel she capsized, and floated
for about the same space of time on
her side, and then disappeared head
foremost, at about half-past p. m.
cat the time she capsized there was
French fishing boat about four miles
to windward, and on perceiving her
capsize, Immediately bore up for the
sinking vessel. The boat proved to be

kindly treated, and landed at Calais at
midnight, where they were provided
