to witness the execution.
The troops having been drawn up in line to wit

was brought to the appointed spot on his coffin,
which was placed against tree and the prisoner
seated on it He was then bound to the tree, and
the specification and charges with the sentence Of
the court martial read to him by Capt Penden,
Provost Marshal of this city. After this was con-
cluded, two ministers knelt by him and offered up
q prayer to Him who dwells above. They then
shook hands with tho prisoner and retired. On
Capt Penden asking him if he desired to have his
eyes bandaged, he replied that he did not, for he
wished to die like a man. With his head resting
against the tree, and looking fun at the men stand
ing before him, waiting for the command which
would consign him to another world, the prisoner
remained for three or four minutes, when the COM
mand was given to fire. lie was pierced by five
balls, two entering his breast one his side, one bis
head, and and the other his jaw. As soon as he
was unbandsged he turned slowly over, and falling
across the coffin expired Thus persisted traitor

And there dropped tear,
For 1t contained one dear. to me-
bose voice no more I'll hear.
Pale sickness with its heavy hand,
Was laid upon him Sore:
But death transferred him to land
Where pain is known no more.
His comrades Dug his humble grave,
and with pious care,
They marked the place where he doth sles
And laid my husband there.
No costly marble marks the place
Where be entombed doth rest:
What matters it, he sleeps with Christ
His soul in glory blest
Oh that some kind and generous friend,
Although unknown to me,
Would seek his grave and there would plant
A weeping-willow tree.
Twould make my heart rejoice to know
That near that sacred mound,
There is mark to point the way
Where his dear grave is found
Farewell, dear husband, rest in hope,
We soon shall join with shss.s y

In blest eternity.

pondent of that paper:
WASHINGTON, Jnly 6, IS63-On SATURDAY..

down the james river with a flag of truce
Acting Rear Admiral Lee sent up an officer to
meet 1t, when it was ascertained that Alexan.
der d Stephens and Commissioner Ould were
on board. They represented that thew were the
bearers OF an important letter from Jefferson
Davis, Commander-n-Ch Chief of the ARMY and
Navy OF the Confederate States, to Abraham
Lincoln, Commander in Chief of the Army and
Navy OF the United States, and requested per-
mission 10 proceed to Washington in the
Dragon and present the letter to President
Lincoln in person
They declined to reveal anything further in
relation to their mission than is above stated
Admiral Lee, OF course, had no authority To
grant their request, and they consented to wait
until he could communicate with Washington
anu receive instruction in regard to the after
He accordingly telegraphed the facts and re-
quested instructions. This morning q special
Cabinet meeting was called to consider the
matter. The granting of the request n yolyed
many delicate and important questions as
such proceeding might be construed into an
acknowledgment OF the nationality of the pre-
tehoed ConIederate Government, and, after all,
the matter might be some comparatively unim-
PUftant affair, such as the employment OF negro
troops, &c.
No decision was arrived al, and the Cabinet
morrow, and Admiral Lee was instructed to
ascertain, II possible, the object of the mission
In the meantime, however, the tug contain
ing the rebel Ambassadors had turned about and
steamed up the river. without any parting sa-
lutation or explanation, and thus ended the
mission.
A gentleman just arrived from Richmond.
