Execution of a Bounty Jumper.

james Devlin, alias Patrick Diamond. alias
Frank luly, who was arrested on the 20th of
January, and Immediately tried by Court
martial and convicted, was executed under au
order IRON Major General Dix, in New York,
on Feb. Sd. To this order was attached the
following address:
The Major General commanding is thus
prompt III the execution Of the sentence pro
nounccd upon the accused, on account of the
aggravated circumstances of the case Within
the period OF eight months, be enlisted twice in
the army and once in the navy having twice
during the same period deserted the flag of his
country. His case is one of those in which
bad men, tempted by enormous beuniies, enlist
into the service for the sake OF making money,
with the deliberate purpose OF desertiug, aud in
which the profit is proportioned to the number
Of successful repelitious of the crime. By
common consent, these infamous men are desig-
mated by the expressive appel!atiou Of bounty
Jumpers. They might more properly be
termed traitors and public plunderers and the
Majof-General commanding, in approving the
sentence of death pronounced by the Court.
deems it his duty to The army and the country
to announce that in all like cases, he will cause
the punishment awarded TO crime subversive
OF every principle Of moral and political obliga-
ton to be executed with the utmost iuflexibiliiy
and prompiuess."
The Information that led TO the arrest of
Devlin was given by his wife, in retaliation for
bis desertion of herself and three children,
leaving them to suffer for the necessares OF HE,
while he lavished his ill-goteu gains upon d
mistress. Yet the wife was at the execution,
aud her. lamentations were bitter and deep.
The execution is thus described by the Tribune:
After the reading Of the sentence and address,
the prayer was said-the devotional exercises
occupying half an hour. 4 white bandage
was then placed over the culp;it's face, and be
then kneeled by the side Of his coffin, facing
the soldiers. About three minutes elapsed,
when the officer of the day gave the order
Make ready" and as lie did so the culprit was
heard to utter a deep groan. AT the word
fire" the pieces were discharged smultane
ously and the doomed man fell forward upon
his face, pierced By eight balls, and expired
instantly, without uttering a word or making
the least perceptible movement. One of the
balls passed through the heart, and another
one severed the spine.

to the recruits on Staten Island large amount
of religious reading matter, comprising hand
some Bible and several tracts, etc., for each
man. Our informant visited the camp shortly
after this distribution had taken place, to see
how Abraham's boys were getting on. Soon
after entering the camp, be noticed that the
men were broken up into groups, each SO intent
upon what was going on in the centre OF his
circle as 10 be oblivious 10 all else. Approach
ing one Of their groups, be found 10 his unut-
terable astonishment, that the soldiers were
playing off their spiritual ratious at draw poker

the exciting game, and it was, Come, Snaggs,
