Singing on the seanoId.

The execution Of the French murderer, LatOur,
was attended with singular circumstances. The
OPINION Nationale gives these particulars -
"When informed that his last day had arrived,
he refused 20 hear a word from any priest, ana
uttered the most dreadful blasphemies He had
announced that he would compose a series of
verses on the occasion, and sing them from the
prison to the scaffold. Accordingly he never
ceased throughout the whole distance (about
three hundred and fifty yards) singing out in a
loud voice the couplet in question. He ascended
the steps Of the scaf'ord firmly and lightly, and
on arriving above, after deliberately regarding
the multitude, he thundered forth the following

Lee and Grant on the Status of Slaves
Taken in War.


Under date of Oct. IA, Gen. Lee writes
to Gen. Grant long letter, in which he
claims the right to return, to their former
owners, slaves taken as prisoners of war.
After referring to the Constitution of the
United States and Fugitive Slave Lsw,
General Lee says:
All negroes in the military or naval ser
vice of the United States, when taken by
us, who are not identified as the property
of citizens or residents of any of the Con-
federate States, are regarded as prisoners
of war, being he'd to be proper subjects
of exchange, as 1 recently had the honor
to inform you. No labor is exacted
from such prisoners by the Confederate su-
thorities. Negroes who owe service or la
bors to citizens or residents of the Confed-
crate States, and who, through eompulsion,
persuasion, or of their own accord, leave
their owner, and are placed in the military
or naval service Of the United States occU-
py different position. The rights to the
service or labor Of negro slaves in the Con
federste States, is the same now as when
the States were members of the Federal
Union.
The Confederate Government, bound by the
same constitutional obligations, considers,
as that of the United States did, thai the
capture or abduction of negro slave does
not preclude the lawful owner from re-
claiming him when captured; and am
instructed to say that all such property
identified as belonging to citiz5ns of any
Of the Confederate States, or to persons en-
ioying the protection of their laws, will be
restored, ike other Fecaptured private pro
perty. -.-. ....-
Gen. Lee says that slaves recently cap
tured had been set to work on the Rich
mond Notifications, but that, hearing Of
this, and not wishing to employ them
there, he ordered them to bo sent to the
rear By mistake they we're sent to the
front; but as soon as he learned this fact
they were removed. In reply General
Grant says: SIX
I shall always regret the necessity OF
retaliation for wrongs done our soldsers,
but regard it my duty to protect all per-
sons received into the army of the United
States, regardless of collar or nationality.
When acknowledged soldiers of the
| Government are captured, they must be

thing to do with the discussion of the sla-
very question, and therefore decline an

the right to return to former owners such
slaves as are captured from our army. In
answer to the question ct the conclusion
of your letter, have to state that all pri-
soners of war falling into my hands shall
receive the kindest treatment possible, con-
sistent with securing them, unless 1 have
good authority for believing that mum

Political.

The Philsdelphia Press, il it latest hg-
ures, based upon official returns, claims a
Union majority Of 400 in Pennsylvania.
The venerable Ex-Governor Lincoln, of
Massachusetts, has written letter in favor
OF the nominees of the Baltimore Conven-
tion.

of the most gallant soldiers of the Union
army we're" BOYS, keep your eyes on

We sincerely hope this may be true.
/ One of the transpsrencies displayed in a
Union procession in Rochester last week

scription below: "McClellan's pet gun"
! Hon. Henry D. Stebbins, member of
Congress from the lst Congressional Dis
trict of New York, has sent his resigna-
tion to Governor Seymour. His reasons
are, that as he Is war man, he does not
represent the peace principles of those
who elected him.
/ Asahel Green, pominent and lifelong
Democrat of Bergen, n. J., has declared
for President Lincoln's re election. He
says that he cannot support Mcclellan on
the Chicago Platform, and that in his opin-
ion, Hon the vital question of the hour,
Pendleton is as heterodox as JEFF Davis.

Sherman were forced to vote while on the
march, and subject all day to attacks from
the rebels The polls were held in the am

men were sent to the rear by squads TO
fight the enemy at home with ballsts, which
they would do with hearty good will and
then return to their positions, and with
bullets open out again upon the foe be1ore
them with renewed vigor and increased
zeal.
/ Eleven members of the 18th Pennsylva-
mia Regiment publish in the Pittsburgh
Commercial a statement to the effect that
at the battle of Resaea, in Georgia, on tho
.lIth day of October, 1864, and other times
and places, they distinctly and clearly
heard the soldiers of the rebel army cheer
ing for JEFF Davis and George B. McClel-
Ian. Some of them are not clear In the
recollection of the cheers for JEFF. Davis,
but all are positive as 10 the huzzas for
Mcclellan. Besides, all the rebel prison
ere with whom they conversed since the
Presidential nominations, agreed in assur-
ing them that their only hope Of estab-
fishing Southern Confederscy rested on
the election OF George B. Mcclellan for
President of the United States.

ThS "MeaI rub" Plot.
The Plain Dealer says editoriaIly:

The Plain Dealer says editorially:
"The Commissioners appointed by Gov
Seymour have failed to obtain the evidence
of frauds. The Administration have de-
MED them access TO the testimony, and of
course prevented any thing like fair in
vestigation from being made"
This is written when the writer knew he
was stating an absolute falsehood, If he
had read the telegraphio news of the same
day. The telegrsphic news was that every
facility was being extended to the Com
missioners. Why, then, does the Plain
Dealer endesYor to pervert the truth?-
Simply because it knows the great guilt OF
its brethren in New York.

opened on them with artillery at long

made show of advancing on our whole

our artillery and skirmishers. .-.
Our troops on the Osbo rne turnpike had
the satisfaction of shelling Fort Harrison.
Our fire was heavy and evidently effective.
The tort replied feehly.
The cannonsde, most of which was done
by our guns, was very heavy, especially
between three o'clock p. m. and nightfall,
and was intermingled with brisk musketry.
On the Charles City road, throughout the
day, the enemy seemed intent upon turn

desperate assaults npon our lines at this
point; but were each time repulsed with

The Unfortunate New York Vote
Forging Operation.

The distinguished and ingenious copper
heads of New York, who hoped by the
crafty arts 0 forgeryto carry the State into
the hands of Seymour and Mcclellan, have
probably began to open their eyes to the
fact that the Government knows what 1t
is about, and that it is not to be cowed by
New York bullies. The sentences Of Ferry
and Donahue, and the probable fate Of Col.
North, three of the chief actors in this
piece Of Demo cratic strategy, will undoubt-
.edly have wholesome effect upon New
York politics. For some time there has
been among the knowing ones in the city
of New York, great jubilation over the
prospects of Seymour and Mcclellan.
They predicated their extreme confidence
ON knowledge of the fact that mos:
wicked and astounding frauds we're being
perpetrated upon both dead and living SOL
diers. The effect of this unexpected dis
closure OF their schemes will be fatal to
their anticipations. They will operate up
on the people of New York as did the ex-
posure of the Dodd conspiracy upon the
people of Indiana. Democracy has
gained but little by this last effort to carry
its schemes by fraud. ..
