neer, March oath, contains q long account Of
the execution of Mrs. Bilansky, at that place
for the murder Of her husband by poisoning
The murderess made the following remark,
on the scafiold.
"I.die without having had any mercy shown
me, or justice. die for the good of my soul
and not for murder. May you all profit by
my death. Your courts Of justice are moi
courts of justice-but will yet get justice in
Heaven. am guilty woman, know, but
not Of this murder, which was committed by
smother. forgive every body who did me
wrong. die sacrifice to the law, l hope
you all maybe judged better than have been,
and by more righteous judge l die pre-
pared to meet my God.
Her demeanor was not defiant nor stocial
nor did she shed q tear. 1t is believed that
she expected pardon or reprieve to the last
moment-Dr. Miller, the deputy sheriff. then
approached her with the rope, when she ex-
claimed, "Dr. Miller how can you stain your
bards by putting that rope ar1und my neck
the instrument Of my death?" He assured her
that duty compelled him to doit. and she made
80 resistance; and only said. "Do, for Gods

sake, put 1t on SO it will not snffocate me. u
After il had been arranged DR.. Miller took
the black cap from his pocket, and proceeded
to put it on her head, when she said, "Be
sure that my face is well covered" All this
took place in less time than it will take to
read it, during which she said several times,
GOD, have mercy-God, have mercy on my
SOUL" Her last words were, Lord, Jesus
Christ, receive my soul"
She was requested to take step forward
on the drop, and then everything ieing pre-
pared, DR.. Miller made motion to Sheriff
Tullis, who pulled the fatal rope and in an
instant she fell, and in few seconds life was
extinct,

From the Chicago Times and Herald
Distinguished Arrival.

Mr.. Lincoln. the President elect, is now
in our city We understand tnat his visit
is osjensibly on private business; but, as
Mr.. Hamlin is also expected 10 meet him
here, doubtless matters of grave import
will pass in review between them. These
gentlemen do not occupy an enviable posi-
ton at this moment, however high that
position. Their election ia deeply deplo-
red by two thirds of the American people,
while it has maddened to the point of re-
volt eight millions Of their countrymen-
The very announcement OF their election
has hurried forward "A movement for seces-
sisn tiat will dissevcr the Union before
they ever reach their high positions. and
has more rapidly hurried forward the
whole ration on The road to bankruptcy
and ruin
This is not and cannot be gratifying to
Mr. Lincoln or Mr. Hamin. AS patriots
and gentlemen they mus! feel deeply the
disasters which have flowed and are still
likely to flow from their election. Not less
keenly must they feel the terrible personal
responsibility that now rests upon them
little with them, (aibeit We might counsel
them as honestly and safely as those around
them, still We have right 10 hope that
these gentlemen will rise with the emer
gency and stand above all mere party con-
sideratons in this trying hour: that they
will act with an enlarged pe;riotism worthy
of the crisis and of their own high posi-
tiOn.

on account of their extensive connections

sue among the lsboring classes 1t ap-
pears singular at first sight, that thus far
houses in the Western business are the lar
gest sufferers; but ii is inevitable that al
classes of trades suffer from the prevailing

the injured part, and keep sprinEling on
