Execution of BytIlel Mitchell.

His Honor Judge MANLY, having sentenced BYTHEL
MITCHELL convicted of the murder of Mr. SHAW, to be
publicly hanged on Friday May 14th, our town pre-
sented the appearance this morning of feverish
excitement that it did one week ago.
A large number of citizens of Columbus and Bruins
wick, and some from Bladen, in town.
The procession to the place of execution the
that had been seen on former occasion. The devotion
al exercises were lead by Rev. Mr.. ANDREWS, and Rev
Mr.. PRITCHARD. MITCHELL, whatever he felt, exhibited
little interest in anything going on.
After the devotional exercises had concluded he
talked some time with persons to whom he desired tc
give some instructions about matters probably relating
to his family Or business.
On the scafold he merely remarked, in an almost in
audible tone that he alone had committed the murder
That he had decoyed the out into the woods anc
killed him, and that nobody else had anything to do will
it, or knew anything aboutit
The Sheriff asked him if he had anything else to say
any further confession to make He replied that he
unable to say anything more. He talked for minute
or so with the Sheriff. who warned him of his situation
The Sheriff then stated on behalf of the dying man. tina
he had no further confession to make.
The cap was drawn over his face-a fral parting ia
ken-the platform fell, and ByrHEL MITCHELL was lit
orally launched into eternity. One struggle he fell
and not one more. In second after the rope had at
tanned its full tension he was moonleSs, and doub
dead He could not have died more instantaneously
he had been shot through the heart
He made nothing that can be called confession
What he said does not agree with the evidence nor wit
his previous declarations He says he killed the man.
An else is in darkness.
The utmost quiet and good order prevailed.

the market value of money has fallen to low water mark
extra inducements have still been offered to cash buyers
partly because many suspended houses were DESTROYS
