EDITORS APPEAL: The life of liberty is with
this money II it is not sustained the star Of hope for
humanity in rayess night Without IT, the soldier
cannot be paid nor fed cothedthe is closed,
and our glorious land instead Of rising proudly the
only nation of eemon, sinks slavery and ruin God
save us from such desOlation.
But why these rehectionsi
Simply because certain parties in this city snd else
where are doing all that hends do to destroy
Its value.
One man remarked in hearing yesterday, that in
twenty days Confederate money would not be worth
more than rags
Another-the keeper Of hote-that he had just sold
5000 bank notes for $3.50 in Confederate and seemed
proud Of the operation
Another sold 500 for sllo and any would not sell
for less than per cent
Some bought to send to soldiers families living
the other side Of Lneons lines and some by parties
gsged in smuggling articles essential 20 the South.
Now, in the Of Heaven, who suggested the idea
of charging premium for Tennessee or any other State
money that has been sprung all at upon the South
Is too much say that it has been done by Lneon
emisssriest How could he crush sooner than by de-
stroyng our confidence in Confederate money!
Should not the therefore, who refuses 70 change
bank notes freely for Confederate, be hung traitor
SLOE.

count of military execution:

The sight swfuly impressive After the
troops had taken up their position closed in column the
prisoner was marched in, preceded by his coffin. He
accompanied by priest, who minstered 10 him in
his last moments. The solemn death-march walled out
from the band upon the cold winter air and many stout
brave heart sckened l eyes that not given to
the melting mood, brimming over with tears and sup
pressed sobs heard in the ranks
The prisoner, poor fellow, marched firmly up to the
place Of execution and faced the file of men that stood
ready TO fire upon him. Gen Nelson waited until the
last moment trusting that repneve might come from
Gen Buell. and even sent aidde-camp down the road
10 look for the messenger but in vain The signal

report of rifles and Michael Conne body dropped upon

u James J. Marlborough, accused of the mnr-
der of John l.. Booty, who resides eight or nine
miles northwest of Carthage, Pamela county,
Texas, and for whom a reward of one thousand
dollars was offered, was recently arrested in Lou
isiana, and brought back to Carthage. Upon
an investigation of the case, the magistrate re-
fused to admit Marlborough to baili and, as the
iail at Carthage, was insecure, he was ordered to
be placed in the Jail at Henderson. The coun-
sci for the accused appealed from this decision,
and brought the matter before Judge Frazer,
under g writ of habeaS corpus. On Tuesday the
case was tried, and in the decision of the magis-
trate being sustained His manners are free and
easy, indicating a real or assumed conscious
ness of innocence. The testimony against him
is entirely circumstantial. The crime charged is
one of brutal, cowsrdly assassination. We sin
cerely hope that he is not guilty of this afro
cious deed, and that his Innocence may be made
speedily manifest.
An incident occurred while the prisoner was
in Marshall, which shows that he relishes a
Joke. He and his guard occupied room in
the Akin's House. On Wednesday morning. the
prisoner found his guard asleep, and TAX
ing advantage of their condition, jeeeseIy
robbed them of their side arms, (pistois,
and bowie-knives, pOcket-boOks, etc, and
locking the room hard and fast, left them to
their slumbers and after meditations He then
went down stairs, and, in high glee, related
what had taken place, exhibiting his trophies to
those in the bar-room. Marshall Republican.
