Lost one man the first winter cut. He froze
to death. MIR. Hall reports that, in conse-
guence of the loss of some of bis eraf.., he
was unable to prosecute his mission to the
extent of its purpose. The expedition has
probably determined the fate of two boats
crews of Sir john Franklin's expedition,
who perished in endeavoriDg to return. Mr..
Hall learned the fate of five men captured
from Frobisher on his first voyage, and
Identified the exact place of their landing.
Mr. Hall explored nearly thousand miles
OF coast, including the so called Frobishers
Straits, which prove to be deep bay, ter
minatipg in lat. 63:4S, long 73 west. Mr..
Hall also discovered great glacier and
mountain OF fossils between Hudson's Straits
and Frobisher's Bay. The George Henry

miles distant from the scene of their inglo-
rious repulse. This is certainly the "best
time on record" MIR. Breckenridge always
ran well before the people. He uLdestands

Military Executions in Missouri.

From the Palmira (Mo.,) Courier. Aug. l5
Among the prisoners captured in the
fight at Kirkirsville were found fifteen who
had taken the oath of allegiance-sworn
not to take up arms against the United
States or the Provisional Government of
this State. These men were tried at drum
head court martial, and the evidence of their
guilt being indisputa5le, they were senten-
ced to be shot. Colonel Mcneil approved
the sentence, signed the death warrant, and
every one of them was shot on Thursday.
This proceeding, though severe, was emin
emily just, and right; and the whole civil
lied world will sustain Col. Mcneil in it.
On Thursday afternoon, the day after the
battle, eight or zen of the newly enrolled
militia OF Edna were out on private scout
of their own, looking for the stragglers
from Porter's main body. Eight miles from
Edna they captured Colonel Frisbie FL.

McCOOk's Murder FearfulIy Avenged.

McCOol's Murder FearfulIy Avenged.
From the Cincinnati Times
A telegrapher who has been operating on
the military line in Northern Alabama,
reached this city yesterday direct from
Athens He states that the assassination
of the gallant McCook was fearfully avenged
by the Ninth Ohio.
Soon after learning the facts their indig.
nation amounted to frenzy, and, raising the
cry OF revenge, they seized their muskets
and ammunition, and, breaking through all
discipline, dashed forth in parties in pursuit
of tie murderers. The rebel who directed
McCook into the ambush, and who was ar.
rested soon after the murder, was taken from
the guard, hung up between two saplings.
and riddled with bullets.
The adjoining towns and plantation
houses were leveled to the ground, and every
male rebel found shot or hung. Our in.
formant states that one hundred and thirtv.
i've were known to have been killed. in.
cluding every rebel sympathizer in a whole
neighbOrhood that fell into the hands of the
frenzied Ninth Ohio.
He further states that the act had created
the greatest terror among the citizen gueril-
las OF that section, and they were going
southwark as fast as they could travel.
Fearful as has been the revenge, the troops
OF the gallant McOook are not yet satisfied.

Intervention RumOrs.

Malakof, the intelligent correspondent of
the New York Times, writes from Paris,
as follows:
The Secesoionists here, who naturally, de-
rive their news and their consolation from
the Ministry of the Interior, are elated at
the prospects of recognition. But here is
a nut they will find hard to crack. A lead-
ing editor of Paris, after a long conversation
with Cabinet officer on American affairs,
published yesterday in his paper a strong
article against mediation or recognition, and
there it laid down as fixed doctrine of the
French Government, that there could be no
recognition OF the Southern Confederacy
until that Confederacy has guaranteed the
abolition of slavery. This determination OF
the government the writer adds, cannot be
changed, and since the new Confederacy
boasts that slavery is its corner stone, and
since slavery is what it is fighting for, he
does not see how there is chance of recog-
milton either now or hereafter. So that the
Confederacy is now brought to it's extremi-
ty, and l ought to add that many persons
believe the Southern agents are prepared to
drink this last and bitterest cup rather than
acknowledge the supremacy of the govern.
ment at Washington. Weshould then have
presented to US the singular spectacle of the
South abolishing slavery in order to destroy
the Union, and the North refusing to abol-
ish slavery in order to save the Union
The Times London correspondent specu-
lates in the following interesting vein:-
You are aware that France is earnestly
at war with Mexico. The resistance she
has met with, and the disasters to the force
at first dispatched, have reused the National
pride, and an army is now leaving which
will enter the ancient capital of the Monte.
zumas The French hold Tampico. Are
you aware that it is not very far to the
mouth OF the Rio Grande, and that Texas
was, not long since, Mexican? You know
to what extent New Orleans is French.
There are sympathies of nationality and re.
ligion which coming events may bring into
play. The Paris papers that urge inter.
vention are of semi'official character. 1t
is said that the Orleans princes left the ar
my of the Potomac on account of the war
with Mexico. Was it because they foresaw
that this war would soon mike France the
ally of the Confederacy, or because they had
private intimations that they might other
wise find themselves iD an antagonistic DO.
sition with a country it is their policy to
conciliate, and which, in any case, they
would never fight against?

Daniel Carroll, formerly of Taunton

Daniel Carroll, formerly of Taunton,
Massachusetts, who had been drafted into
the Eighth Alabama regiment, was captured
at the battle of Fair Oaks. He described
the rebels as growing more desperate every
day. Just before battle, they are put on
half allowance to make them hungry and
savage, and then they are prepared to tear
our men to pieces. He says they do not
even spare our wounded, and confirms the
statements made of inhuman cruelty on the
part of the rebels. he states that large
tract OF ground just outside of the city of
Richmond is mined with torpedoes. The
rebels are kept off by a guard.

General Banks

The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press with General Pope's army:
General Banks is gradually recovering
from the injuries he received on the battle.
field, and it is hoped he will soon be able to
take the field. II any ore doubted General
Banks military ability, they are forever si.
lenced. No man could have managed
troops better or behaved better than Major
General Banks, and the compliment paid
him by General Pope is duly appreciated,
no less by his men than himself. No man
has had more bitter enemies than General
Banks, yet he has withstood nobly the
storm that continually gathered around
him, and he has now by bis brilliant
achievement, stamped himself as one of the
most accomplished military leaders in the
Union army. No matter in what position
he has been placed be has conducted himself
like true gentleman and brave soldier.

REQUIEM.

Bre eathc, trumpets, breathe,
Slow notes of ssddest wailing-
Sadly responsive peal
Ye muffled drums
Comrades, with downcast eyes
And muskets trailing,
Attend him home
The youthful warrior comes.
Upon his shield,
Upon his shield returning,
Borne from the field of honor
Where he fell
Glory and Grief, together clasped
In mourning,
His fame. his fate,
With sobs exulting tell.
Wrap round his breast
The flag his breast defended
His cOuntry's flag
In battles front unrolled !;
For it he died
On earth forever ended.
His brave young life
Lives in each sacred fold.
With proud fond tears,
By tinge of shame untainted
Bear him, and lay him
Gently in his grave
Above the hero write,
The young, half-sainted--
His country asked his life.
His life he gave.

The Providence Post says: "In passing
through the Worcester freight depot on
Wednesday, we observed some fifteen or
twenty cases marked "Le Grand Maitre
d'Artillerie, Cronstadt," and upon inquiry
learned that they contained American rifles
bound to Russia. The arms were manufac-
tured at Milbury, Mass, for the Russian
government, and large quantities have been
shipped during the past year."

To Hon. Horace Greedy:

ceptible in it an impatient and dictatorial
tone, l waive it in Difference to an old
friend whose heart have always supposed
to be right.

one of you in doubt. would save the Un-

The President has evidently deemed it
good opportunity, as we'll as an appropriate
time, to reiterate what the people have al-
most been persuaded out OF, that bis pur-
pose in this war is, as it has been, rot to
perpetuate nor to overthrow slavery, but to
maintain the Constitution and preserve the
Union; and that bis "policy" is whatever 10

The soldier and martyr simply replied that
he had never kneeled to any but his Maker,
and that he could not consent to kneel now
to man. As he said this the order was
given to fire, and in the act of making the

and soldier was in eternity. But there were
many, unaccustomed to weep, who shed
bitter tears on witnessing this tragedy.
