Execution OF Mullenix at Green.
castle.


Greenbury o. Mullenix, convicted OF
numbering his wife, Martha Ann Mullenix,
on the 10th of April last, was hung at
Greencastle' on Friday last. A little be-
fore IL O'Clock he was brought from his
cell to the place of execution outside the
jail, guarded BY the deputy sheriff and a
half dozen men armed with muskets, and
placed upon the scaffold. He ascended
the steps with alacrity, and when asked if
he had anything to say, remarked that be
had not, except that be awas to be hung
very unjustly." He "felt better than be
did during the first part of the morning" !"
Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.. Fisk
During prayer, the prisoner stood on the
sSaffold and looked round without the least
apparent interest in what was doing.
When the deputy sheriff proceeded to
tie his arms he made no resistance, but
laughed and said he felt better. He step
ped from the scafold on to the drop with
out assistance and held himself in fovora-
BE position for the sheriff to place the
.'black cap,' over his head and face.
While the deputy sheriff was adjusting
the rope about his neck he laughed and
exclaimed, 'it's getting pretty tight, Bill"
He then told the deputy to fix the rope to
suit himself, The rope was soon adjusted,
and fastened to the cross-piece above the
drop.
The drop fell at IL minutes past IL
O'Clock and in the descent of the prisoner
THE ROPE BROKE!
Blindfolded and choked, Mullenix still
appeared to have reason and presence of
mind, and walked in the direction of the
steps as if to re-ascend to the the scafold.
A horrid sound, like the rattle of death
escaped from his mouth-a sound which
made many of the immediate spectators
sicken and turn pale. In moment, Mul-
lenix was in the arms of men who held
him, while the sheriff tied the rope to-
eether and drew him from the ground
In q moment more, the object of the
laws vengeance was swinging between
earth and heaven. One or two slight
struggles were made, and the spirit of
Greenbury O. Mullenix passed from time
Hlo eternity.
After every motion of the limbs had
ceased, the pulse continued to beat for
some minutes. This become more and
more feeble, until it was altogether imper-
ceptible. After hanging thirty two minu-
tes, the body was cut down, placed in the
coffin at which the dead man had lauohed
the evening before, and delivered to his
friends, who Immediately proceeded with
il TO Manhattan, Putnam county for in
tswept.

s
Lieutenant Walton, of the British Navy,
proposed mixture of sawdust and caouch-
Que, under the name of kamptulicon as a
lining for the interior of iron war vessels.
The inventor claims that, from its elasticity
it will Immediately collapse when penetra-
ted by ball. and thus prevent the en-
trance of water. 1t also deadens concus-
sion, and, by its buoyancy, will keep YES
sci afoat though it be riddled with shot.
Great Salt Lake City is laid out on a
magnificent scale. 1t is four miles in
length by three in breadth, the streets run
ming at right angles, 1872 feet wide, with
sidewalks 20 feet in width. Eeach build
ing lot contains an acre and quarter of
land and stream of pure water running
though the city is made, by an ingenious
plan, to flow on each side of every street,
and to irrigate every lot.
A man was tried recently in the San.
Francisco police court, on charge of petit
larceny of a lot of money in dimes and
half dimes, TIE defendant denied having
stolen the money, although it was found
on him. In order to account for having
money of such description upon him, he
said be was in the habit of changing dol
lar into dimes every day, in order to 6ny
ten drinks for dollar.
WONDERFUL LIKENEss.-Mr. John Da-
Wis, Of Slaughter Neck, Delaware, has twin
daughte.s FIVE years old that cannot be
told apart by strangers; and the nearest
neighbors. who see them daily, are not
able to distinguish one from the otber.-
Even their own father, meeting one of them
alone, can scarcely tell whether it is Sarah
or Mary, without asking the child its name.
The only method of determining with GER
taiuty which is which, is by small mark
on the ear of one of them, that is only Wis
ible on close inspection.

Ugly Records

Tho Philadelphia Press, which main
tains tn, Democratic principle of popular
sovereignty against the Lecompton usurp-
alton with great vigor and ability, digs up
from the records of the Senate, the follow
ing copy of Protest against the admission
of California, which several gentlemen
whose names are appended to it insisted
upon entering. Their grounds for opposi-
ton to the admission of California were as
follows:
First-That it gave the sanction of law,
and thus impaired validity to an unauthor-
ICED action of a portion Of the inhabitants
of California.
Second-Without any legal census, or
other evidence of their possessing the num-
Der of citizens necessary to authorize the
representation they may claim.
Third Without any of those safe
guards about the 6allot-6or ,chich can only
be prouided by lao, and WHICH IS NEcEs-
sARY TO ASCERTAIN THE TRUE SENSE OF
A PEOPLE.
Fourth-As not having sufficient Ell
dencs of its 1.-THE Constitution) having the
assent of a majority of the people for
sOhoms it gas designed.
The protest was signed by Senators

H. L. Turney, Tennessee,

The Press very justly shows that the OBJ
jections to the admission of Kansas under
the Lecompton Constitution are of precise
ly the same kind, and arc equally conclu-
sive- 1t says:
"Kansas is now about to present herself
and claim to be admitted into the Union
as State, under Constitution made by
a Convention not authorized by Congress,
and elected by only small portion Of the
people of Kausas-without any legal Gen.
sus having been taken-without any legal
safeguards thrown around the ballot box
and not only without evidence of its
having the assent of a majority of the peo-
pie for whom it is designed, but a0ith evi-
dcnce that the majority Of the people are
decidedly opposed to it.
"What will Congress do nous"
Perhaps adherence to the positions of
these Democratic Senators will now be
called sectional"

Places AFTER Cascs-we ,sDose.


Our ancient enemy, in alluding 10 the views
which we have expressed in our paper occa-
~sionally within the last six months, relative to
the political future Of our country, and the
imperative necessity for q union OF Southern
sentiment and action to meet the determined
foe Of the union and the constitution, attri-
butes TO US feelings Of selfish character as
the foundation Of those views. If so, it is sin
gular~ that other journals in other sections
should entertain precisely the same opinion as
ourself, and expressed almost in the same
words! Are all those different editors also
Influenced by sordid motives, when they take
such . high and patriotic ground? Are they
thus Influenced because, in fact, they have the
moral courage TO step out from party tram
meIs TO speak the truth, at a time when the
salvation Of the South and The Country, rests
upon this courage 10 speak the truth, BY the
press ard BY our public men?
We find an article upon Southern union
and danger to be apprehended from the Black
Republicans in the last franklin Register
(Democratic) Of the parish Of st. Mary. 1t is
from the pen of its editor, Mr., CAsTELL4Nos,
an old line whig, but who co~operated with
the Democratic party at the last election. Mr..
C.. is n gentleman Of education and talent, and
was formerly a member Of the Legislature
from the city. The political views of such
men-particuiarly when such views are OUT
side Of their party lines-certainiy merit som
respect and consideration. From the article
alluded TO, we make the following extract:
But we must not be lulled into a false Sc
eurity; the leaders of the Abolition party are
crafty and subtle, and we know not with what
device they may decorate their banner 10 be-
guile the populace; they may be persuaded by
the emancipation movements in Missouri to
think that an Abolition President may be elecr
ted and the Union still stand. In this manner
and these means we may lose a State or two
at the North, which We can lily afford, not even
The smallest; if this be the case, where lies our
hope but in unity at home? What other hope
have we? If by the force of impending evils
alone there is to be but one party in the South,
now is the time to put under our feet all di-
visions and party discords. If party lines are
to be again drawn in the slave-hoIding States,
what assurance have we that when The COM
mon enemy make their appearance, all prejudi-
ces will be cast aside, and that the opposing
factions will c~oalesce. Experience has already
shown us, that if there are two parties in the
South each will have its candidate for the
Presidency. The same experience proves the
fact that the Abolitionists are too entirely abb
sorbed ID the one great object Of their organiz>
alton, too crafty and Willy to allow themselves
to commit such a suicidal act on their part.

TThe New York San, has the following
just and pertinent remarks Or ths prevailing
method of composing ~juries. TIE practice in
question has az little warrant in sound law rs
it has in sound sense:
"fIad an opinion" is the objection on which
E long list OF gentlemen were sci aside as IL
competent 10 serve "a jurors on the trial Of
Mrs. Cunningham. We recognize al once the
justice Of the principle Of law which excludes
persons whose minds Gre pTejudiced from serv.
ing on~juries, bat prejudice ard opinion differ
widely. 1t = is one thing 70 PREJUDICE 4 person
accused of crinle-fof pr~ejudging implies that
the mind mas reached definite concIusions-and
quite a different thing to form an opinion Of
published statements without the mind receiv-
ing the strong personal bias which constitutes
what we call prejudice. Intelligent men ran
not read evidence without forming an opinion
ofits value, or its appearance OF conciusiyeness;
and we have but little respect for the judgment
Of men who can read without thinking of what
they read, or without questioning It's accuracy
or credibility.
The men who are capable of forming an
opinion without prejudice, or of Judging of the
evidence and its conference, are just the kind Of
men who should sit as jurors To try grave oc~
cusations.
