THE EXECUTION OF JOSEPH T. WnLIAMs.-A
correspondent from Roxboro', n c., on Wednes-
day, gave a brief account of the execution of Jo-
seph T. Williams, at that place, on Friday for the
murder of his father, wealthy gentleman, for
merly of Pittsylvania county Va. The Milton On.
C) Chronicle has the following notice of the exc
cution: .-s HF - , *
On the day of his execution he called friend or
two in jail and besought them to join him in
PRAYER until the last moment of his earthly exist
ence; he sent out supplicaton for the prayers of
the vast multitude then and there assembled The
hour arriving for his execution, the sheriff, with
bleeding heart and tear-moistened eye, called for
him. So
Taking Mr. Wn. Lyon (his fathers friend and
neiahbor) by the hand and begging him to go with
him and pray for him, he proceeded to the gailows,
PRAYING all the way until he arrived in sight of the
Rallows when trembling like leaf he gave vent to
an expression of feeling that no pen can describe
and which touched the most callOus heart. Ar
irving at the galows he sued for the last moment,
and begged every christian on the ground to pray
for him. ss zz.sl5a ae.
II was here that the Sheriff read him brief note,
reminding him of future rewards and pnnishments
of the awfulness of dying with a lie ON his lips
and invoking him to say, while he looked eternity
in the face, whether he was guilty or innocent OF
the murder He replied that "he bad said all that
he had TO say about it--he was not guilty." So the
prisoner protested bis innocence 70 the last mo-
ment. Moupfing the scaffold and sfOrgiving every
bodyn at Is minutes past l2 o'clock William soul
was launched into eternity.

was immensely valuable, q well known gentleman
then living here, but since dead, left town in a
great hurry and was absent some months, when
he returned to the great wonderment of his ac

of. After awhile it leaked out that he had been to
the West Indies, looking up Leidesdorffs heirs,
and finding was said, female that he believed

without ceremony, popped the question, was &C
cepted, and married forthwith congratulating HIM
self that Capt. Folsom and all other claimants
would have to stand aside, while he, the great ma
bob of California, would be without rival In the

the necessary documents and getting testimony to
substantiate the claims of his Lady fair, he found
