A GHEAr MAncH--The late unparalleled march
Of the gallant 9th Regiment is thus spoken Of in
private letter from ono of its officers.
Our long and weary march is over. Sky and
water are provcrbaly represented a. the most
bleak objects the human eye ean rest upou but
take exception to tho rule, aud say that sky and
unpeoplcd land arc bcaker still Tho sun rose
and sct on Us 100 times from our departure from
Leavenworth to our arrival ut Sacramento. In
times of peace no other army ever marched 80 lar
on foot, and, although We lost not hu-
man life, it is probable that the report of our ex-
porenoe will prevent any more soldiers from
"podding that weary way 'again. Many day
we trnmplcd through snow knee deep, until tho
asperity Of the atmosphere rendered it absolutely
necessary for us, if We valued life, to halt aud
light our rude fires; and one not of our party,
can understand with what enthusiasm we crowded
round those littc oases, in the wide waste of an
uninhabited country. Our average weekly march.
es were about % miles. Oh that some of your
exquisite nilitamen were with us. Military glo-
ry, such i, experienced on Fourths of July, and
target excursions, would then seem plain indeed
The only inc lent OF tho journey that partly part
ly compensated us for suHerings, took place
at Sacramento. As our baggago-wagons hospital
train, suffers, and the thousand queer things that
attach to n travelling army, poured into the cty's
streets, the joyous, friendly welcome with which
We were received, mado us forget, for a while, our
hardshps"

Torture and Execution of "a French Bishop
in Cochin China

Tho Hong Kong Register contains the details
OF the horrible death which the Mandarins have
inflicted on tho venerable Don f. Melchoir. a
French Catholic Bishop, in Cochin China. The
Register. after stating that the Bishop with
heavy chain around his neck, was marched through
the streets of the capital by guard of FIVE hun
dred soldiers proceeds to narrate the execution of
his two young servants, who were bcheaded. It
then saws
"fhe execuonors then stretched mat on the
ground. placed u small carpet upon it, broke the
chain which around the neck of tho Bishop.
and made him lie down on his back upon the mat
ting. The victim being thus placed, the execu-
tioner took two stakes, which be fixed in the
ground on each side of him. and to which his hands
were tightly bound with cords, causing great pain.
