AS the procession marched by tho
prison where the rest of Walkers men
were confined, the doors and windows
of the prison were completely closed.
Arriving at an old rdined barracks or
fort. about n quarter of mile outside

three sides of square, and the General
was led forward and placed near an an
Clio of tho wall. The crowd of people
stood behind the lire Of soldiers.
Tho priests who had accompanied
the General now held brief colloquy
with him, received his confession, and
administered 20 him the last sad rites
OF the church, and retired. A section
Of four soldiers were then ordered ia

commands We re given and the soldiers
took deliberate aim at the body OF the
gallant American, not feature Of whose

The German Repnblicans.

Those of our German fellow citizens
who voted the Republican ticket at the
late election, have thus shown that they
love tho principles of freedom and de-
spise tho shackles which modern dem oc-
racy has placed upon both body and
mind. When they have escaped the
despotism of Europe, they are not the
men who will vote to establish dcs-
potisn hero more tyranical than the
one from which they fed. They are for
a free press, free labor, free speech, free
homes, and all that will forward the
greatness and glory of their adopted
country. We say,all honor to the Ger
man Republicans. In few years the
Germans will all be with us.

To the Voters of Franklin County.

You did good and noble work on
the 9th inst. The result has met our
most sanguine expectations. In 1853
the Democratic majority was about $40,
to which mny safely be added 200 in
crease by naturalization. You entered
upon the campaign with at least 1910
majority against you and you have re.
duccd IL to about 6l0. Never did men
work more constantly and determinedly,
the fruits of which are how enjoyed in
the increased and triumphant majority
OF Col. Lane and the State ticket. We
havo no complaints Of tardncss or mae
tiyity, but from every quarter we are
assured that the work has been well
done.
This is but our Saratoga-let tho 9th

courage the wavering and guide the

US to the final issue, and as you have
spent and done so much for tho love Of
freedom and the union of these States,
give few days more and victory must
crown our efforts. $500 --s,.

and unite with the friends Of white la

Wide-Awakes, keep up your organi-
cations, light up your respective neigh
borhoods with "bon.fres and iIumina.

Deal kindly with our opponents, re.
minding them that their imagined loss
is the whole country's gain. DO early
