Wrecks Of Humanity.
WHY SHOULD THEY SINK

The excitement Of the chase has always
been supposed to have healthy tendency;
but there IS kind of chase which breaks
down the constitution, debilitates the frame,
and shortens life. We mean the headlong,
underwriting hunt after che almighty dol
lar which is the great business characteris-
tic of the present day. 1t begets other evils
unnecessary to name) which precipitate the
f.te o; thousands There is, however, pos
siblity Of recovery from the pros.ra.'on pro-
duced by these causes, long after their vic
tim has ceased to hope for it. If we are
rightly informed, the most astonishing cures
of what is called general weakness and de-
bility, which have ever been known in this
country, have been effected through the
agency of Dir. HoLLowAY's inestimable rem
edies. More skeletons Of men. out of whom
the very principle Of vitality seemed to have
been drained, have been restored to health
and vigor by the operation of the Pills; aud
of the Ointment in case of paralysis, rheu-
matism, &C., we hear an equally favorable
account. If men WILL break down their en-
orgies By over excr:ion--if in their anxiety
to go ahead they WILL override the most
precious of Gods blessings. health--iti is well
they shonld know how to repair the mis-
chief, when they come at last to realize the
fact Of their preL'atura decay. The wrecks
of humanity who, without any particular
disease, appear to be sinking from mere eX-
hauston, would find, without doubt, imme-
diate relief from Doctor HoLLowAY's RENE
dies.-PhH, 'TrtJtue.'

Proposition to Hang the Dutch
Soldiers,

We publish on the first page of to-day's
issue, an article with the above caption, TAX
en- from the Knoxville Register, of June 18th.
II shows the German soldiers how they may
expect to be treated when they are captured
by the rebels in that section Of the onGede-
racy. Wonder what the Dutch rebels of AL
legany county will say, when they hc2r such
threats made by their friends in the South
against their own countrymcn. They will
soon find, however, that two parties can play
at this game, which we think, will cause
them to cease such doings should they ever
commence them. We ask the germans to
read the article referred to.

Execution for DeSertiOn.

Joseph Mink, of Company a, 9th Ken
lucky volunteers, was shot at Murlreesboro',
Tenn, on the 10th for deserton. The ac-
cused was charged with deserting-frst the
United States service, next the guard by
which he was captured. He was a young
man, of perhaps twenty-five years, ordinary
height and of robust form. Was last ar.
rested on the 10Th day of March, since which
time he has been closely confined. He APP
peared remarkably calm, though an expires
sion Of something pressing on his mud was
visible. There were no handouts upon him,
nor any ball and chain attached to his leg.
The procession moved slowly to the ground
about one mile from Murfreesboro', the band
playing solemn and appropriate march
The division was formed in thrce-slded
square, one brigade composing side. The
execution was performed on the line of the
; remaining open side. The prisoner was
placed on the line Of the vacant side, the
shooting squad inside the square, at dis
lance Of twelve PAGES and the band took
their position on the right. The charge and
sentence were then read to the prisoner, af-
ter which the provost marshal gave him a
few moments to commend his soul to the Al
mighty. He knelt with the chaplain upon
his coffin, and occupied three or four min
utcs in prayer, after which he arose and an
nounced himself as ready. His eyes were
then bandaged; and he was placed upon his
| coffin, in a sitting posture, during which
movement his face became flushed. and rap
idly changed color, first from an ashy pale
to blood red, and then back again.
When all was ready the provost marshal
gave the signal to fire, and the prisoner fell
back upon his coffin, pierced by five bullets,
Que of which passed through his heart. The
troops were then marched past the corpse,
lying just as it had fallen.

For suspending our own legislatures,
and declaring themselves invested with
power to leglsIate for US in all cases
whatsoever:
He has abdicated government here,
by declaring us out of his protection,
and waging war against US.
lie lGs plundercd our seas, ravagcd
our coasts, burnt our towns, and de-
stroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large
armies OF foreign mercenaries to COM
plete the work of death, desolation and
tyranny, already begun with circumstan-
ces of cruelty and per6dy, scarcely par
alleled in the most barbarous ages, and
totally unworthy the head of civilized
nation. ...
He has constrained our fellow. citizens
taken captive on the high seas, to bear
arms against their country, to become
the executioners of their friends aud
brethren, or TO fall themselves by their
hands.
He has excited domestic insurrection
amongst US, and has endeavored to bring
on the inhabitants of our frontiers the
merciless Indian savages, whose known
rule of warfare is an undistinguished
destruction OF all ages, sexes and coudi-
tons.
In every stage Of these expressions,
we have petitioucd for redress in the
most humble terms: our repeated petit
tons have been answered only by re-
pcated injury. A prince, whose char.
acter is thus marked by every act which
may define tyraut, is unfit to be the
ruler Of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attcn-
ton to our BRUSH brethcru. We have
warned them from time to time, of at
tempts by their Legislature, to extend
an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.
We have reminded them of the circum-
stances of our mi grafton and settlement
here. We have appealed to their native
justice and magDanimity, and We have
coujuIed them by the tics of our COM
mon kindred to diSayow these usurpa-
tons, which would inevitably interrupt
our connections and correspondence -
They, too have been deaf to the voice
Of justice and consangui"ity. We
therefore, acguiesco in the necessity
which denounccs our separation, and
hold them, as we no d the rest of man
kind-encmes in war, in peace friends.
we, therefore, the representatives. of
the United States of America in general
Congress assembled, appealing to the
supreme Judge of the world for the rec
titudc OF our il tcntions, do, in the name
and by the ou hority of the good people
of these united Colonies are, aud Of
right ought to be, free and independent
States, that they are absolvel from all
allegiance to the British Crown, and
that all political connection between
them and the State of Great Britain is.
and ought to be, totally dissolved; and
that, as free and independent States,
they have full power to levy war, con
cude peace contract alliances, establish
commerce, and 10 do all other acts aud
things which independent States may of
right do. And for the support Of this
declaration, with firm reliance on the
protection Of Divine Providence, We
mutually pledge to each other our lives
our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
