A MAN UNLAWFULLY HUNG

AT the last fall term of Walker county
Court, a man by the name of Franklin was
condemned to be hung for murder. The
jail OF Walker county not being considered
very secure he was imprisoned in the jail at
this place, tor safe keeping until the time
appointed for his execution, which was las
Friday He was taken away by the Sheriff
OF Walker county early last week. In the
meantime petition having been sent to
GoV. Winston for reprieve, on Thursday
afternoon, the Sheriff of this county receiv-
ed an order from the Governor TO hold
Franklin in his custody until further orders.
but the convict had already been taken a.
way to the place of execution in Walkar
county. The Sheriff of Tuscaloosa forth
with dispatched runner, who, HAVING rid
den all night, placed the reprieve in the
hands of the Sheriff of Walker soon after
sunrise on Friday morning. The Sheriff of
Walker looked at the document, and said
that as it was not sealed paper, it might
possibly be forgery, and he would not
obey it, and accordingly executed Franklin
at the set time.
we are unable to say whether the Sber-
III OF Walker can sustain the legality of
this proceeding. To US it appears verv
much like an. unjustifable murder. and we
would not like to be exactly in his place
but they sometimes do strange things in
the Estate of Walker" Many of our rea-
oers may have heard, and probably sup
pose 1t to be merely a joke at the expense
OF that enlightened county, that man was
once convicted and sentenced to be hung
there Tor burning down an old barn, which
he himself had built, and which was unten-
anted by any living thing; in fact it was

SHOCKING DEATH.-Capt. VIM. Eaton,
Of Wells met with shocking death on
Monday last. He was engaged in his mill,
saving logs, when, by some means, he was
thrown across the carriage which supports
the logs, and directly in front of the saw,
and was sawn completely through, part of
his body falling through the mill into the
stream below. Captain Eaton was very
much respected, and his sudden and shock
ing death has caused a profound sensation
in the town. He was aged about &c years.
He was alone in the mill at the time.

tragedy, resulting in the death of a young
man named Allison, whose father keeps a
tavern at Harpers-Ferry, Virginia, and the
death OF man named Joshua Engle. oc-
ccurred at Harpers-F Ferry last week. Some

passenger from Petersburg, by the way of
Weldon and Wilmington, that a young

notion about thirty miles this side of
Goldsboro', and was instantly crushed ::
portions OF flesh and brains were found at
tached to the track. The deceased was
dressed in dark suit; light snuff colored
wool hat high crown, apparently about 25
years old, and in the neighborhood of 6
feet 7 Or inches in height. Portions of

BATTLE BETWEEN NICAfAGUANS
AND COSTA RICANS.

Disastrous defeat the F9llibusters-Many
scoodS and persisted.
The steamship George Law has arrived
from California, bringing over 81 LOO, 900 in
treasure, and highly important intelligence
from California and Central America.
The report of the defeat OF Walkers
troops was brought to Panama by the Dutch
steamer Emile, from San Jose. General
Schleissenger, of Walkers Army, four hun
dred men, was we'll fortified at a hacienda
near Santa Rosa, when he was suddenly
attacked by the Costa Ricans. and entirely
defeated. Sixteen prisoners were imme-
diately courtmartialled and shot by the
Costa Ricans. They were chiefly Irish and
Germans. Accounts say that Walkers
party was surprised by the Costa Rieans,
who, after one volley only, leaped the walls,
and with knife and bayonet, cut down all
they encountered, dispensing or taking
prisoners the remainder. The Costa Ricans
had Is killed and 25 wounded. Ninety of
Walkers men were found dead, and it is
supposed many others who fled to the woods
must have persisted. Costa RIGA is in a
state of great excitement. The war is popu-
lar with all classes, and many foreign resi-
dents have rendered their services to the
government. The principal army of Costa
RIGA, 5000 strong, under President Mora,
were marching to Nicaragua at last ac-
+loc
days, when it was expected the hero of
Sonora would have to fly for his life. Presi-
dent Morals despatch says the attack lasted
fourteen minutes only, when the fillbusters
broke ranks and fled terrified to the woods.
They were closely followed by the Costa
Ricans, and the entire track of their fight
was strewed with the wounded and diving.
The Costa Ricans lost six officers. Tt is
said the cholera was making great rayages
among the natives and particularly with
Walkers army, at Nicaragua Some of
w alker's people had taken the English mail
from Greytown, intended for Costa RIGA,
which greatly incensed the people.
FROM SAN FRANCISCO.
The case of the Adams Express Company
against Cohen, has been decided at San
Francisco, and verdict for s269, ZOO
