HUNG.

The first execution by hanging in the army of
the Potomac took place on Monday. The con-
vict was private Michael Lanahau, Co. A, I'd
regiment U. S. infantry, and the offence, killing
Sergeant Brennan by shooting him.
The Gcneral-in- Chief in the order approving
the finding Of the court-nartial says, the proof
is clear that he did this in satisfaction of the
grudge he bore toward the deceased, for the
blow he had given him in the guard-housea few
minutes before, and Tor old scores which he men
toned in his statement to the court. 1t is very
peprehensiblc for commissioned or non commits
stoned officer to strike soldier, except when it
is absolutely necessary to repress disorder. 1t
is never allowable as punishment for an offence,
but for Il soldier because Of being struck to shoot
ais immediate superior, is at war with every
principle Of military subordination. 1t was in
evidence tina, it was not customary for sentinels
at Georgetown to have their arms loaded.
The prisoner must have loaded his gun for
the purpose Of carrying out his vindictve de-
sign against the Sergeant. The homicide il
this case seems lack none of the features
which distinguish murder from simple man
daughter. For these reasons the sentence was
approved and the Provost Marshal was charged
with the execution Of the order. The gallows
was erected in the northern suburbs of Wash
ington, and the convict was hung in the pres
ence of detacbments of five regiments Of the
regular infantry.

EOREIGN NEWS.


The advces from America are unfayorably
construed in London, and the friends OF peace
are dropping in consequence. In Liverpool
psacefnl hopes preponderate and cotton is rising
The English papers are still discussing the Trent
affair in IL hopeful view that the rebel commiss-
toner's will be giv-n up by the Cabinet at Wash.
ington, and war be thus averted.
Pending the receipt Of news from America in
reference to the English advices by the Europa,
there is much speculation as to WHAT decision
she United States will arrive at in regard to
surrendering up Slidel and Mason. The result
is being quietly awaited. The prevailing opn-
ion, however was in favor of peace. War
risks at Lloyds had downward tendency. The
English papers calculated on the depatch of the
French Government reachiug Washington before
MIR. Semard sent his reply to Lord Lyons in re-
gard to the demands of the British Government.
The papers express the hope that the French
dispatch will reach Washington in time to in
nuence the reply of MIR. Seward. A number of
gunboats had been ordered to the Mersey. 1t

stationed off the Straits of Gibralter to prevent
The passage Of privrteers.

JET. Davis has Joined the Church
OF England.

The reverses of the armies Of the Con-
federate States has had the effect of max
ing many Of them appear to seek cOnso-
lation 10 religion. The Southern papers
abound with sermons. prayers, &c In a
sermon recently preached at Richmond
the minister remarked that the God Of
Battle had deserted them since the fight
al Manassas, but it was only to show the
Confederate soldiers their own weakness.
If they again wanted His favor, they
must not be so vain aud presumptuous.-
They must cease taking the name Of the
Lord in vain.
President JEFF has lately joined the
EpiscOpaIians, and appears TO be exceed
ingly religious. The Richmond Exam
liner complains that Dasisspends too much
time in prayer and moi enough in fight
ing. II suggests that there is a time for
all things. 1t says:
I'm truth, these devotional proclama-
tons of Mr.. Davis have losta good effect
from their repetition, are regarded by the
people as either cant or evidence Of men
tai weakness; and have become the topic
Of unpleasant reflection with intelligent
men. Piety is estimable but energy,
common sense, impartial Justice, courage
and industry are also qualities very use
full to rulers and to nations. 1t is to the
dilIgent employment of the faculties God
has given US that we obtain His blessing,
and not by vain and affected supplicaiions
When we find the President Standing in
a corner telling his beads, and relying on
a miracle to save the country, instead of
mounting his horse and putting forth every
power of the government to defeat the
enemy, the effect is depressing in the
extreme. When the ship springs a leak

Prospects for Crops and Prices In
1852.

The american d~gricuituriSt publishes
a table, made up from the observations of
about one thousand individuals, scattered
over all of the loyal States and territories,
showing the breadth Of ground sown to
various crops in the different States, and
the prospects for the coming harvest
Comparing the observations and opinions
of these individuals, and taking the aver
age as approximating nearly the truth, it
appears that about one tenth more land is
sown to Wheat than during 1861, and
about one-third more than an average of
other years.
The prospects for a good yield of Fall
Wheat is said to be much better than the
average for this season of the year; but
Sp ing Wheat taking the United States
all o2er is not good. But the prospects
for the whole country now seems to be
that a larger crop will be raised this sea-
son than ever before. The scarcity of
labor in the States has compelled farmers
to plant less corn and more wheat.
The reports furnished on Corn indicate
4 less amount planted than last year.
The market price this fall will depend on
the season. If the crop should partially
fail over a large portion of country, corn
may bring a very fair price. But if the
season IS generally favorable, il will con-
tinue low, though probable that it will not
lie quite down to the present low figures.
The prospect for fruit is said TO be I'M
usually good.
