SPEAKING OF EAGLEs.-An eagle, weighing IS
pounds, was shot on the Heidelberg lately by VIM.
Shafer. Speaking of eagles, reminds us that the one
sent from Central America to David Terry, Of this
city, Is now attached to the Penitentary Mr. Terry
having presented the bird of freedom" to Capt.
prison, and is allowed to fly about whenever it suits
his convenience He visits about but always returns
at nightail. He Is death rats and catches six or
eight every day. He never misses fire. He makes
one dive, and that is the last Of mister rat Having
caught the rat he skins him with as much ease and
neatness as if be used knife. Having dressed the
quadrpped, heseparates him into quarters and makes
Just four quarters OF him. Having finished the rat,
Capt. Lew ~ but we think this part of the story is
an exaggeraton. The Pilsbury Eagle was caught on
the battlefield Of Riyas-the battlefield where Col,
McCardle lost his arm. He was forwar led to Albany
by the American Express Company, and arrived here

SLAYER Abbott Deversux, well known In the port Of
Savannah You remember that only 9 few months
ago the Abbott Devereux was taken by II. B. M.
eCop Teaser, on the coast Of Ashantee with 235 live
Aificans on board. The schooner was burnt and the
slaves were sent to Sierra Leone and set at lberty'

the trouble Of taking them from the SLAYER. Besides
this the prize money was SIS for every slave taken
Capt Myers, who is genuine old salt water tar, had
made two previous trips to Africa in the above line,
but never was caught till the Teazer teazed him. He,
however, gave them nine hours run, although the
John Bull was steam propeller, and only that they
came in view Of each other as early as tie morning
~ a. Nd the Abbott Devereux would have whipped
tne cnaser. Capt. NJ says his cargo Of over 200
$50 to $50 each, and that the negroes were lust as
glad possible TO come Off into slavery as to stay at
home When taken he had only Just left the mort.
having given The British fsigate Fire Fly the slip, 50
sh reports Of the captain rendered the matter much
more awful T" than it really was on board, During
Capt. Ms experience in the slave trade he ALWAYS
knew ard noticed that the slaves seemed happy and

EXECUTION OF A FEMALE IN DENMARK.-Capital
punishments are extremely rare in Denmark, and
when consequently one takes place, 1t occasions an
immense sensation. The announcement, six days
ago, that woman, under sentence of death in prison
in the province of Jutand (where it is certain there
has been no execution for 800 years) was to be exc
cuted the next morning. not only plunged the whole
neighboring country into commotion, but attracted
crowds from great distance. The condemned was
young woman named Gertrude, daughter of John,
peasant, Tin Denmark peasants have no family
names) and her crime was numbering her husband,
who was soldier, by discharging loaded pistol at
him. When the moment came to set out for the
scaffod, she refused to be conveyed in cart but,
taking the executioner by the arm, walked firmly
there. Having run up the steps, she stood near the
fatal block listening with great calmness to the read
ing of the text of her condemnaton--a very prolix
document. She then took of her cap and shawl,
threw them at her feet and bandaged her eyes with
her handkerchief, She then knelt down and placed
her head on the block; moment after the axe fell.
The extraordinary camness of the woman astonished
the spectators, who upwards of 20 900 in number.
