Execution of two New Orleans Soldiers.

Execution of two New Orleans Soldiers.
The Centreville IVA correspondent
of the Richmond Dispatch writes on the
18th inst
On Monday, at IL o'clock, two soldiers
belonging to the Tiger Rifles were shot
by order Of Gen. Johnston, after having
been tried by court martial and convicted
under the 9th article of war. This reads
as follows:
.sArt. 9. Any officer or soldier who
shall strike his superior officer, or draw
or lift up any weapon, or offer any vio
lence against him, being in the execution
of his Office, on any pretense whatever,
or shall disobey any lawful command Of
his superior officer, shall suffer death, or
such other punishment as shall, accord
ing to the nature of his ofense, be inhict-
ed upon him by court martial
These two unfortunate men were found
guilty Of striking an officer while endea-
voring to prevent them rescuing pri-
soner then in his custody. Their names
were Dennis Corcoran and Mike O'Brien,
. IsisA,nen By birth but for some years
st5fsy ssUtie ten or
fifteeis shousard soldiers arrived upon
the ground, and were formed on three
sides of the spot selected. The men
were brought up in wagon and accom-
panied by catholic priest. They were
dressed in full suit Of Tiger uniform,
and being men Of fine, manly forms,
presented splendid appearance. They
bore the ordeal bravely. Alighting from
the wagon, each walked up to the stakes
prepared for them, and kneeled while
their hands were tied and the bandage
adjusted over their eyes. Then came q
moment Of breathless suspense, and the
next the bullets Of their own comrades
sent their souls into eternity.
Both were buried near the spot Of
their ignominious death, and according
to the rites Of the Catholic Church.

THE CoNTRABAND CONTROVERSY.

To he Editor Of The N. Y. Tribune.
SIR: There seems TO be great deal Of curiosity az
to what shall be done with such contrabands Of war
as are endowed with speech and locomotive powers,
and have African blood in their veins. As TO their
status or fate, have nothing to suggest excepting this
only-thst justice olioays pQyS 1t rests with the
Government alone TO decide whether they shall be freed
forthwith, or be kept where they are at very heavy
expense 10 the loyal Satesn order subsequently TO be
restored to the rebels.
But suppose that the Cabinet decide to free them at
once-wha. then? "What shall be done with them 2"
They must either be removed at the expense of the
Government, Norihward, or to the far South-to the
Free States or the tropics, as fOrloin hope to
Africa.
They must cost us on an average % q week or $l2
per month to keep them where they are.
To remove them and distribute them through the
Free States would cost uI, you will fnd by cacula
ton say $l2 head to send them to Africa, Ia zee
correspondent suggests) would-were it practicable
which it is not--cost us at least $50 each; to send
them to Central America, which would require US to
organize a Government, purchase Territory, and
maintain Protectorate over them, would, within ten
years. cost more than hundred dollars for every
person shipped do not speak at random, but having
had experience IN the matter OF emlgfaonl Hom per-
sonal knowledge of this class Of expenses.
To send them to Hayt, if the Government did the
work, would cost us from s25 to $780, without reckon
ing cheatage. Having had no experience in that de-
partment Of expenses, do not know how much more
should be allowed for rascalagc; but have seen it
stated that 10 per cent is the peace estimate and 50 per
cent the war allowance.
Now, to avoid all further anxiety on this score,
hereby offer f you will permit me- to take 10 900 col
Ored contrabaDds from any port south of Washington
within fifty days notice, at $l2 each person. to land
them in Hayti, and to provide them there with imme
date employment as cotton and sugar growers.

at duties or charges of any kind should be levied

COL. EMORY.

To the Editor Of The N. y Tribune.
SIR: VIII you please insert the inclosed statement
Of Col. Emory case which know to be correct, and
permit Inc to add a few remarks, with view OF cor
rectng some of the errors the public has been led to
believe
freely admit that the writing of the letter OF resig-
nation was great wrong, but Subsequent crcum-
stances have redeemed the act; and think there is
disposition to Judge him harshy, and not allow him 10
vindicate himself in the future by his acts.
The facts are: Col Emory, when at the West wrote
letter Of resignation TO be handed to the Secretary OF
War on certain contingency. Three persons were to
be the Judges of that contingency and to decide upon
the sending in of the letter to the Department Col
Emory finding after he had sent the letter, that the
United States Government was 10 be involved IN war
wrote and teegraphed twice not to send in his resgna
ton The person holding the letter, without consulting
the other parties sent to the War Department Col
Emorys resignation when the outbreak took place IN
Maryland and it was accepted. Tie statement shows
the skill and courage with which Col. Emory eHtrcaed
his command from the traitors and in what excellent
condition he brought them TO Fort Leavenworth.
have never doubted Col. EmOrys loyalty, and
have known him for many years. He, like many other
Southern men, has had that idea OF divided allegiance
and under the influence Of that idea, made the mistake
for which be has been 20 severely handled by the
press. A letter from brother officer IN the west
which have seen, speaks of his entire conviction Of
The loyalty and ability of COL Emory while under his
command in the West. G. W. Be
New-York daily tribune., 1861-07-08
THE STATEMENT.

The comments made in some newspapers upon the
appointment Of Col. Emory are made without Kn0"i-
edge of facts, and very unjust, not only 10 hin'
hut 10 the Administration which has appointed bun.
The manner in which he extricsed his command ffonl
a perous condition. and placed II on the frontier Of
Missouri, where its sefNlces now are ml,npoi 1ab v,
should at least shield him from the suspicion OF any
talnt OF dislovatv. His command was located IN the
an gle which is formed by Arkansas and Texas, aud
scattered extent OF country so that the extreme
pOsts were 300 miles apart and iuled into secrily
by the solemn representations Of leading citizens OF
Texas that there was intention whatever to molest
tbem Ig was under these circumstances and without
the means OF transp portaion, that Col Emory dscov-
cred the extensive and well-organzed conspiracy TO
capture the different commands In detail and get pot
session of the public property.
BY extraordinary exertion, and thorough knowl-
edge of the country and the persons he could rely
upon guides be succeeded in concentrating hs force
in the face of very superior numbers and bringing II
out of the country in safety, with all the public
property that oond be anspOIted amounting in value
TO nearly quarter of million of dollars-capturing
the advanced guard Of tine enemy, and leaving him not
single element OF war OF any value; To add to the
embarrassment, the Indians about Washita rose in
mass and, through their Governor, summoned Col.
Emory 10 surrender. The troops were provisiOned
only TO the Sd of May the day they arrived at Leaven
worth and their march was over an uninhabited aud
untrayeled portion of country Of 500 miles in extent
These acts were done without knowing there
was q state Of war, and without knowing
the Government would sustain him; for, cut
OFF he was, he had possible means of lowing tue
policy of the Government and they show an unhinch-
ing and undyipg fidelity TO his colors, which is a sure
guaranty Of the wisdom Of the Administration in his
selection.
1t is not necessary to enter into the circumstances Of
Col Emorys resignstion except 10 say that the dsv
after it was sent from sshita the fact dscOve ID
BY him OF the conspiracy TO capture his command
that Immediately every step was taken 10 recall il;
and from the first moment that was apprehended
no thought of leaving the service entered bis head and
for one month thereafter every energy Of miod and
body was devoted to the interest Of the United States
with what success may be inferred from the recon-
mendation Of Gen Scott, who, learning the facts
highly commended his conduct, and recommended he
should be cent back forthwith to the command Of bis
regiment.
1t is proper to state that officer LSeut. Avenll
travelling express with dispatches from Gen. Scott,
overlook Col Emory and brought him instructions
to concentrate bis command, and Withdraw to Leaven-
worth, lust as he was doing.
