Stephens and HaZlett.

CHARLESTON, Va, March l6.-The
town was tlrVnged with visitors to-
day, and several companies Of militia.
ry were in attendance. Stephens and
Hazlett were hung at noon. They
appeared resigned to their fate. Ste
pheus died very hard, while Hazlet'
died without a struggle. Both ex-
hi5ited great tirlnness.
There were no religious exercises
at the gallows, as the prisoners per
sisted in refusing all kindly offers o.
ministry in their last moments. They
were both spritualists, and had a pc
culiar religion OF their own, which en-
abled them to meet their fate with
cheerfulness and resignation. Butt
bodies have been forwarded to Mar
Gus Spring, South Amboy, N. j.
They reach Baltimore on the early
morning train.
