New RATION FOR SOLDIERS. = Professor
llorsford, some year or two ago, published a
pamphlet showing how the soldiers ration
could be made more palatablc, and at the same
time less bulky. so that a greater amount OF
nutrmeht could be carried on q march, with
out incurring the weight Of the rations. Gen.
Grant has recommended that it be tried III the
army-and q half million OF the new ratiOms
has been ordered by the War Department. 1t
substitutes roasted wheat for : hard tack,
meat sausage in the place Of salt beef pork,
&c. and selt-raising -four in the place of soft
bread, for a marching ration 1t is said that
thirty days Of IIorsford rationS can be carried
with less difficulty than eight of the present
ration. The saving OF expense to the army
will be very great ifonly in the matter oftrans-
portation, if this substitute will answer, and We
do not see why it will not.
HANcocKs CoRPs.-Thc efforts now being
made in behalf of this Corps are attended with
signal success and recruits are rapidly filling up
the ranks. The Bncy Brigade, which con
slat" OF three regiments, is daily adding to its
numbers M under the iudicious measures Of the
Chairman OF the Committee. q " Davis
and Chief Franklin, the Executive otI;ccr -
None but veterans are received into this Corns
Any one may put in Representative recruit ON
the payment Of $50 1t is an honor to bulnu
to such Corps as this, and the soldier VIII,
takes pride in his profession, woaid rather
serve among an army Of veterans, who kmo"
how to sustain each other Ia the field, than tC
find himself placed among number OF raw re
cruits or drafted men. The Bimcy Brigade
offers inducements in the matter Of pay rarcl.

Some Union prisoners recently escaped froii
their captors near Wilmington. and now il

| the manner in which they were hurried hi

after he left Columbia The rebels were cvi
: dently quite bewildered; they wanted to max
: an exchange of the prisoners with general Eos
/ ter, but he was unable to achieve anythin
soon enough, and 50 the rebels were compelle
to hurry the captives along towards Virginia
= with no definite plan as TO their location. Shcl

DeplOrable Tragedy.

By the Eastern Shore boat, says the Balti-
more SIM, We have an account of a deplorable
tragedy which occurred in Wye Neck, Queen
Annc's county, in this State, on Wednesday
last, in which Col. VIM B. Paca and his two
sons killed the two nephews of the former,
John B. Paca and Alfred Jones. Colonel Paca
was guardian of these nephcwS and some ILL
feeling, it is stated previously existed between
Another nephew, Tilghman Paca, joined the
rebel army some time ago, and his interest in
the estate was sold under the conhscaton act
and purchased by Col. Paca His occupation
of it, it is said, was resisted by the two ne
phews, Paca and Jones, who commenced the
work of erecting fences thereupOn, though
warned by Col. Paca to desist as he claimed
the property as his own
On Wednesday morning, the work being
still continued 10y Paca and Jones, Col. Paca
arrived on the ground with his two sons, and
an aiIray ensued in which both the nephew:
We're instantly killed. Accounts vary as t
which party commenced the assault, but it il
reported that the nephews first assailed Col
! Paca and his sons with pick and an axe, anC
that they fired in sell-delcnce. Col Paca
sons gave themselves up, and the Colonel wa
subsequently arrested, and all of them lodget
in the Jail at Ccntrrville. The excitement il
the county, as may be supposed, is most in
tense, owing to the high social position of tn
parties, the terrible sequel to the difficulty an
the circumstances surrounding the case.

The answer was peculiar.
cts not the pain" he said, switch
makes me complain, but I stand on my
rights; this hot coal was not named in
nv sentence"
When the band was burnt off at
the wrist, the executioner led him to
the spot where he was to be impaled.
The spike was run into his body with
twelve blows Of a wooden mallet; the
spike was then driven into the ground
on the highest point near the 1ns:itu-
ton. There he remained four hours
and half dying, and almost ncessant-
ly repeating verses from the Koran,
only interrupting them TO ask for
something to drink. A muezzin at
last took pity upon him, and gave him
some water. SoIeyman drank it, and
expired.
The body remained there about a
month, and the BIRDS OF prey perfectly
accomplished the remainder of the
sentence.
The skeleton Of this poor wretch
was removed to France at the same
time as the body of his victim, and is
placed in the Jardins du Roi, in the
first hall of anatomy, on the left on
entering; It's that of man of about
five feet two, the bones of the wrist
are burnt, and the traces of fire still
remain.
The spike, in passing through the
lons. had separated two Of the spinal
vertebre. They are replaced by two
wooden ones, which 50 we'll initiate the
