The EXECUTIONS ON FRIDAY.-Ths
preparations we understand, are going forward
on Johnson's Island for the executions ordered
to take place on Friday next. One of the spies
ordered to be hung on that day, convicted, we
believe, by Court Martial at Bowling Green, Ky,
has not been sent here, and it would, therefore,
seem uncertain to his fate. In the other
cases. specials from Washington to the Cincin-
natl Gazette, dated the 24tb, say the sentences
have been approved and will be carried out
The same statement is also made in regard to
the deserter condemned to be shot at the same
time Sa'sdusky Register 26th.
