Execution Of Three Desert

The indianapolis Journal reports the
execution of three desertsrs at Camp
Burnside: near that city last week. Their
names were Ryan, Murray and Billings

"The firing party of picked ssldiers

we could hear, they brought their guns
to au aim Ryan in the Middle, threw
his head back as if he were trying to see

die more easily by giving greater sur

barely audible, but the veteran soldiers
understood it, and crash Sc complete

Murray fell back on his coffin, and
instantly relied eff on the side next to
Ryan, perfectly dead. Ryan fell square

BillingsleJ fell back, rolled off his coffin

THE PEACE QUESTION.

New YeRK. Jan. 19.-The Richmsnd
Examiner OF the 10th says: Theruners
Icsncernlng the mature OF the paper mcgee
tistisns old Blair carries back With him,
are very numerous, and We are csnfidsst tly
assured that the mission has brought the
peace question to a point that provides
for the aPpeintnent Of csm nissisnsrs
from either side, with astherity to lay .
peace foundation That is all.
The Whig Of the 10th says ii is an
derstsod that Blair hnd private and cen :
fdeHtial interview with the President.
He came in no official capacity and Had
no oihcial interseurse with any member
of the Government. The belief in we'll
informed circles, is that this iutervisw
may lead to conference between auther-
lied agents or comm issionsrs Of the TIVE
Governments. 1t is known that Prssi-
dent Davis will permit ne obstacle Of form
to stand in the way Of sending or ressiv-
ing commissioners.
Ar. Blair was handssmsly entertained
during his sojourn in kichnend. We
are assured that the report is true that
President Davis has sent an autograph
letter to Mr.. Blair, expressing his wills
lingnsss to send or receive csmmissisR-
ers authorized to aegotiats peace. 1t ID
understood that Mr.. Blair told the Pres
idedt that he came in No sf6cial character.

Crime I'm England.

Our cousins across the ocean have q
bad and unhandsoms habit of thanking
God that they are not as other people,
especially the wicked Yankees, are. in the
matter of offenses against the neral law.
1t is painful fact, hswever, that in NO
country in the world is there SO much of
brutality and outrageous crime as in
England. A Liverpeel paper furnishes
the following specimens Of England in
the year Of eur Lord 1864:
The season of Christmas seems to be
remarkable for crime and riotous insbric-
ty. At the Bow street police sfice,
London, there were more persons arrest
ed On the 18th than the cells could &C
comsaate, and the extent Of dissipation
is declared to be nprscedentedly great
At Stafford tive men were executed on
the 9th for murder. Throe men, fer the
same offense, were under sentence o1
death at Liverposl; enc of whom has
been respited. In Lenden, an Italian,
named Pelioui. in public-heuse brawl
killed enc man by stabbing him in the
abdomen, and dangerously wounded tive
others. At Brighton, wretched Grip
pie, without either of his legs, deliber
ately blew cut the brains of man with
whom he had some truupery quarrel
At Aldershott the bsdy of man hal
been fsusd. aud it is believed that mur
der has been committed. At Chelmsford
Wane, the man whe murdered Aneli,
Blunt, was hanged. At Liverpool thirty
eases occupied the csroner's attention il
a single day, and in fifteen of these cases
the persons were fouAd dead.
Although in the midst eff war. wher
mems passions are 6erceiy aroused, ther,
is ne locality in our couatry that car
match the above- World.

The Announcement eff Peace

Years ago, says Boston paper, the

The .entlsmen lost their breath as
fast as the pilot gained his. Directly
the pilot was able te say

They say that Mr.. Lang exclaimed in
greater words than he ever used before
and all hands rushed in Hanover square
