The following facts are condensed
from the Boston papers
On the boat, which plies between

female acquaintance Of. Carpenter,
ore Of the latter being young wo-
man to whom he was engaged TO be
married, and on their arrival at the
Fort they were allowed interviews
with the doomed men, butas Father
Moice desired fully TO prepare them
for the end 50 soon to come, these in
teryiews were made brief, and after
the two men had given each some
parting gift, final farewell was taken
which was Of course Of most painful
character. The relatives and friends
were then conducted back TO Tbs boat,
which had been ordered to wait for
them, aud came at once up to the
city.
In order to-give the men all The

enable q reprieye to reach the Fort,
