EXECUTION OF MULLENIx.

The execution of Mullenix, convicted Of
the murder of a young wife soon after his
marriage in April last, was fixed for Friday
vate report, that the Governor had granted
a reprieve for thirty days. Information OF
this act Of clemcncy did not reach Grcencas-
tie till the morning Of the day Of execution,
and created intense excitement, VIC are told,
in the crowd assembled. 1t was believed
that the reprieve would be only preliminary
to pardon, and that the pcrpctrator of the
revolving murder would escape the penalty
OF the crime. There was movement made
to seize the prisoner and execute the sentence
in spite Of the ministers of the law but We
learn that the mob spirit yves quelled and
quiet restored.
The indianapolis Journal Of Thursday says
that the father Of the prisoner had been in
that city for some days :" importuning with
a fathers carnestness. for q reprieve or com
mutation of the sentence from the Governor
and he finally, We presume, prevailed with
the Governor to prolong the life OF his
wretched son for another month. He had
been for weeks previous untiring in his ex-
ertions to procure signatures in his own coun-
ty to . petition praying the Governor tt
commute his sons punishment to imprison'
ment for life, and with these he went to In
dianapolis, and gave the Governor no rest til
he obtained ut least short rcprieve for hi
SON from his terrible fate. The law in th
State requires public executions to be con
Quoted in private as far as they can be. TIL
Sheriff had constructed gallows, and sur
rounded il with rude pen in the Jail yard
preparatory to the execution.
The Grccncastle Banner says the prisone
still remains rs stubborn and unconcerned a
ever in regard to his future state; talks "a
tionally, yet rather singularly when question
cd in reference to what the law Of God say
!, touching the terrible crime for which h
, stands charged: says he did right; that whc
he married his wife it was with the under
standing that he should live with her durin
II fe; that he acted only in self-defencc j
committing tbs deed; that if he had not kill
ed her when he did that she would have poi
c soned hun and thus, ended his life, and tina
4 God would punish no man for committin
4 murder in self defence. In short, he mani
tests kind of bulldog stubbornness whic
!, has been seldom equalled by any one in
, similar condition. 1t is not the opinion
, those who have visited and con sersed wit
, him upon matters pertaining to his fate thu
0 he shows symptoms ofinsanity.

long. This cable is now finished, aud lying Mt
Birkenhead. 1t was completed By the con-
tractors, Messrs. Newali, OF Liverpool, in
eighty days, three weeks before their term for
executing it had expired. The manufacture of
the cable employed 100 machines for making
| spun yarn, with which the gntta percha insu-
| Iation is covered. Tue cable consists of a
main strand of copper wires covered with
| three coats of gutta percha, served from end
/ to end with the spun yarn, and over this are
/ laid eighteen strands of twisted wires, seven
wires in each strand, forming the exterior OF
i the cable. There are in all p 600 miles of
covering strand--total wires, l75, 600 miles
! long enough to go seven times round the
world.
When the cable was finished, on the Sth OF
| June, the contractors gave dinner TO the
workmen employed on it and to their wives,
seven hundred being present at the party. On
/ that occasion, ". Reid, an electric engineer,
| who was present, stated that he had made an
! experiment with the cable that day, and had
established perfect telegraphic communication
4 through its whole length with very minute
battery which he exhibited. the plates of which
were only one quarter of an inch square. 1t
is no doubt much easier to work telegraph on
land than in wafer. but several UineerS pres
ent who had doubted the practicability of work
ing the cable had their doubts removed by Mr..
Reid S statement.
The Atlantic Telegraph and the steamship
Great Eastern are the most gigantic enterpri-
ses of the present age.
