A Letter from Ex-President Buchanan.

A Letter from EX-freSlQenC Buchanan.
The following erfrom ex-President
Buchanan was read on the 4th of July,
at the celebration of the day by the
Democrats of Harrisburg, Pa:
wHEATLAND, near Lancaster, July 2.
"GENTLEMEN II have received your
kind invitation to unite with "the De-
mocracy of Harrisburg and its vicinity"
in celebrating the approaching anniver.
sary of our National Independence, and
regret to say shall not be able to enjoy
this privilege.
ION this hallowed anniversary let US
rejoice, that, through the Intervention
of Divine Providence, peace has once
more returned to bless our land. Our
Joy, however, will be tinged with a
cloud of sorrow for the loss of our kind
hearted and distinguished President, by
q diabolical crime, and this, too, at the
very moment when, by wise clemency,
he was about to convince the world that
peace has its triumphs as well as war.
II am gratified to observe that every
where throughout the State the old De-
lnocratic party is renewing the energies
of former years. 1t can never die while
the Constitution and Union live. 1t will
be bright and glorious day for the peo-
ple of the country-and this aOiW surely
come, though at my advanced age I may
not live to see it--when the well tried
and time honored principles OF Democ-
racy, as expounded by Jefferson and
jackson, shall regain the ascendancy in
the administration of the Federal Gov.

The Rockingham Register publishes a
very full and graphic account of the exc
cution of two Confederate soldiers, Capt.
g. w. Summers and Sergeant Isaac N.
Kooutz, of the 7th Virginia Cavalry.
They were shot to death by soldiers OF
the United States army. Itappesrs that
while the Union soldiers who had Gov.
Letcher, of Virginia, in charge, were
conveying him to Washington, these
two men, aided by others, made an at
tack upon the guard in Shenandoah
county. They only succeeded in secur-
ing some half-dozen horses. The names
Of Summers and Kooutz, who had for
merly belonged to Rosser's cavalry, were
ascertained; they were arrested and or
dered for execution. Efforts were made
by Col. Butterfeld, in command Of the
Union forces, to prevent the execution,
but to no avail. The paper adds that
''the bodies Of the young men were
given to their friends for burial, and that
the tragedy has caused an intense feel
ing of sadness where the facts were
known. No justidable defence can pos
sibly be offered for their attack upon the
train, and the friends of the parties and
the whole community, we are assured,
strongly disapproved of their course, but
expected some milder punishment to
follow their conduct"

Mosr SHAMEFUL. The murderer,
Daniel P. Beams, who killed his father,
mother and young wife in Wisconsin
last summer, and then set fire to the
house in which they had lived, has been
tried, convicted and sentenced to sim.
prisonment for life." This is shameful.
A more cruel or cold-blooded deed was
never perpetrated in this country, and
yet the laws of Wisconsin do not per.
NIT the death penalty. In such cases
as this we think the aid of Judge Lynch
should be invoked. The villain had the
efrontery to request in court, after
hearing his sentence, that whenever hs
died, they would bury him by the side
of his mother, with his arm encircline
her waist, % It did years ago.
