and has only fallen back when bis enemy,
despairing of victory, has attempted to slide

A PRIVATE LETTER received in the city
yesterday from Beverly announced the
fact that Mr.. H. Lee Heiskel, of this city, a
nembcr of General Jones command had
been mortally wounded In the Staunton
engagement, and had since died in the hos
pital near that place.
Whea the war began, our young friend
and old school mate was in business in the
Eastern part of Virginia. He felt it, to be
his duty to unite himself with his friends
in the Southern army, and soon joined him
self with its destinies. For some time he
corresponded for the Daily Union, publish
ed here at that time, and ably set forth his
views on the point at issue between. the
North and South. Since that time be has
nobly stood his ground, being in almost ev'
cry engagement in Western Virginia. He
was promoted to Captaincy, and held that
position at the time of his death. When
wounded and taken to the hospital, he sent
for some of mis- friends in the Federal army
to come and see him, but before they could
find his quarters he had breathed his last.
Although many of our citizens may con-
denim the deceased for his political views,
and the course he has taken, none can deny
that he was noble and. brave man. He
vas kind and generous to a fault, and will
ever be remembered by all who were ac-
Quainted and associated with him.
Green lie the turf above thee,
Friend of my better days ...
Npne knew thee but to love thee,
None named thee but to praise"

earth in repentance, expiation Of their
crimes and preparation for thatawful change
which the stern demands of the law would
so soon compel them to undergo. The ad-
dress throughout was marked by dignity,
wisdom and a pure christian spirit. The
prisoners had little to say on being asked
"why sentence Of death should not be pro-
nounced upon them," beyond the denial of
their guilt and the assertion that Page was
false witness Renton was apparently ,af-
fected while receiving his sentence, but
Lowrie and Roman exhibited neither en-
barrassment or feeling, The address to the
prisoners was listened to by a large audi
ence midst the most perfect silence and the
most profound attention, and as the priso
ners moved from the court room the sound
of their clanking chains left an ineffaceabe
impression upon the minds of all present.
The long agony is over and the fourth of
March will commemorate the terrible trag-
edy whose history must. blot the pages of
the earliest records of the history of Idaho
The universal belief on the part Of the
public in respect to the guilt of the priso-
ners, has unquestionably hastened a convic-
tion which the imperfections of the law and
the ingenuity of able attorneys might have
otherwise delayed, if not indeed, altogether
defeated. The attorneys for the defense are
entitled to generous commentator for their
disinterested and unpaid labor in the defense
Of the friendless criminals, undertakers as
it were, in the face of a public opinion
which had already, perhaps justly, pro
nounced the guilt of the prisoners
This is the first cause of any kind, civil
or criminal, which has been tried by court
Of the Territory of Idaho, and though the
proceedings of the court may be subject to
itioism possibly legal exceptions, we are
S sltsfied in the consciousness that the great
ends of justice were ever constantly and
jealousy kept in view. His Honor, so re-
Gently from an older State and of necessity
unfamiliar with Territorial statutes and from
tier pecularities and customs, has acquitted
himself with high personal credit, with hon
or to the territory, and invariably manifested
spirit of indulgence, impartiality and a
firm determination to mete out even handed
justice to the unfortunate mortals whose
death sentence it became his painful duty
to perform.
The members of the bar who conducted
the trial have without exception ex-
hibted that uniform good feeling, dignity
and high bred courtesy, which we trust as
an example may give tone and character to
the entire bar of Idaho Territory.
