BRorHERLy AFFEor1oN.-In the reign of Queen

BRoTHERLY AFFECTIoN.-In the reign of Queen
Anne, soldier, belonging to the marching regiment
which was quartered in the city Of Worcester, was
taken up for desertion, and being tried by court
martial was sentenced to be shot. The Colonel and
LieutC Coonel being at the time in London the COM
mand Of the regiment had descended in course to the
Major most cruel and inhuman man. The day on
which the deserter to be executed having arrived
the regiment, as is usual on these occasions, was
drawn out to see the execution.
1t is the custom on these occasions to draw lots from
the several corporas for this disagreeable Office and
when every one expected to see these lots usual,
they were surprised to find that the Major had given
orders that the prisoner should die by the hand of his
own brother, who only private man in the same
company and who when the cruel order arrived,
was taking leave of his unhappy brother, and with
fast flowing, that expressed the anguish of his
soul, was hanging for the last time about his neck.
On his knees did the poor fellow beg that he might
not have hand in his brothers death and the poor
prisoner forgetting for the moment his petitions to
heaven begged die by any hands bnt those OF his
brother. The unrelenting officer, however, could by
be prevailed on to revoke his cruel sentence
though entreaed to do so by every officer OF the egi
ment: on the contrary, he swore that the brother,
and he only, should be the execntloner II 1t were
merely for examples sake. to make justice appear
more terrible. When much time had been wasted IN
fess endeavors to soften the rigor oil tins nhnman
sentence the prisoner prepared to de- and the brother
| to be the eNecutiOner. -.
The Major strict to the maxims of cruelty, stands
close to see that the piece properly loaded which
being done he directs that the third motion of his
cane shall be the signal to fire. Accordingly at the
| third notion the Major-instead of the prsoner-re'
ceved the bullet through MS own mead, ana Ieli he
less to the ground.
The man no sooner discharged the piece, throwing
| it on the ground. exclaimed
" He that can give no mercy, no mercy let him re-
| ceve Now | submit, had rather die this hour for
| that mans death, than live a hundred years, and
| take away the life of my brother"
No one seemed to be sorry for this unexpected piece
of justice on the inhuman Major: and the man being
ordered into custody, many gentlemen present, who
had been witnesses to the whole affair." Joined to en-
treat the officers defer the execution OF the other
brother, till the Queens pleasure should be known
The request being complied with, the city chamber
that very night drew up very feeling and pathetc
cruelty of the deceased officer, and humbly enueated
| her Majestys pardon for both the brothers
The brothers were pardoned and discharged from
| the army.

ARKANSAS INTELLIGENCE.-Th Fort Smith Herald
of the 18th complains of the depredations of horse
thieves in that region.
The Washington Telegraph of the 10th has the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
The weather, since our last has been very warm
but in some localities there has been too much rain
for the cotton crop. The corn crop is fine.
A difficulty occurred at Paraclifta, Sewer county
on Monday last, between DR.. c. c. Cooper and David
Robinson in which Cooper was killed and Robinson
severely, if not mortaly wounded DR.. Cooper lived
but few minutes; having received three shots in
different parts of his body. Robinson cut in the
region of the lungs with knife. The wound it is
thought will yet prove fatal.
The Camden Herald of the Goth says:
During the past week we have had several refresh
ing showers of rain The corn and cotton crops never
looked better The planters are in fine spirits and
indeed everything, and everybody looks cheerful.
South Arkansas has certainly been best to degree

We have received from the plantation of DR.. Gray

UNITED STATES STRAMFRIGA ATE NIAGARA, !

Sir Il have the honor to report that we left Liver

port on the Wednesday morning following, at half.
past3 o'clock A. NJ. Her majesty's steamer Agamem-
non arrived here Thursday morning, the Both ult,
and Immediately commenced coaling, which had been
deferred until her arrival here.
We had filed up our coal at LIVERPOOL as have
informed you and have taken in ifty.fve tons here,
the quantity consumed our passage to ascertain
how slowly we could go under steam, and found, to
our great satisfaction that we could reduce speed
to one and half knot an hour.
The teegraphc cables of both ships were connected
on Thursday, and without any difficulty passed the
electric current and messages through the twenty-five
hundred miles in half second 1t has been decided
that the laying out of the cable is to commence from
valenta Bay and that the Niagara is to lay out her
portion first. Consequently have taken board
from the Agamemnon ten miles of the longer or
nshore end, weighing about seven tons to the mile.
ihe engineers OF the company will have completed
their preparation this afternoon and the vessels of
the squadron, which are all here, will Immediately
leave this port for Valenta Bay, and thence on Mon
day, the Sd inst secure the shore end and
laying the cable

Soon after their arrival large number of the dis
gusted ilbusters assembled in the Park in the neigh
bOrhood of the Hall of Records, when large crowd
speedily assembled and listened to the stories of their
wrongs and their destitution The men looked toer-
ably healthy, though emacated, as if they had seen
hard service. They dressed in great variety of
costumes although the mouse-colored slonched hats
striped coored shirts, and dark overhalls largely
predomnate Their features are bronzed TO an almost
mulatto hue, their boards long and shaggy and their
general appearance is that of men who have long
been exposed to the hardships of a campaign.
They hail from all parts of the Union, although
majority belong to the Western States, and are ex-
ceedngly anxious to return to their homes as soon
as they can raise funds to do SO, being at present
entirely destitute. They all concur in denouncing
Walker " "baek-hearted villain" alleging that
he tyranized over his men, neglecting them when
sick, and abandoning them when he found he could
gain nothing from their services They were gener
ally enticed away under promise of 2G0 acres OF
land each, and $25 month pay. Many of them went
to Nicaragua to SETTLE without any intention of join
ing the army into which they were pressed as soon
as they landed OF course they deserted at the first
opportunity afforded. They say that Walkers soldiers
were often compelled to eat mule meat and the flesh
of unclean animals, to keep from starving. They
were, generally, well treated by the Costa Rcans
after they deserted and have been sent home by them
in the Tennessee.
Much sympathy was expressed for the returned ad
venturers, and many dimes and quarters were thrust
into their brown hands.
AT about II O'Clock meeting was organized on
the steps of the Hall Of Records and committee
appointed to collect funds on the spot Some $l20
raised in this way, after which the meeting ad
journed, to meet in the Park at 6 o'clock the same
evening. Afterwards, however, there was another
meeting in front of the City Hail. and several persons
addressed the crowd.

JUDAS 1SCARIoT AND THE MEpIUM.- Dyes Wall
street Broker contains u communication from the
spirit of Judas Iscariot, through Mrs. Porter, me-
dium in which he says the coin recently issued in
was bribed. With an endorser so well acquainted
with the facts we do not see that there is further
room to doubt the genuineness of the copy referred
to. Judas states that he betrayed his Master for the
that he received it from the high priest about II
o'clock in the evening that he was born in Jerusa
lem 1862 years ago. that he lived five years after
the cruciXon, and was then chokedsupon chair.
