Execution of Ferris for the Murder Of Hi.
Wife,

Frank Ferris. or Francisco Ferero. the cul-
prit who expIated his crime on the gallows in
and Justice before he was condemned 10 die
His crime was that of numbering his wife
Ferris lad lived very unhappily with his wife
for long time preyisus 10 the murder, and
had freq uently threatened TO take her lite.
An afectiLg scene took place AZ the cell Of
the culprit Thursday afternoon, ocrasioned by
the visit OF the three children, the two belong
ing 10 his murdered wife and the one born 10
him. The two eldest children are. under the
care Of the Sisters of Mercy, and the youngest
is cared for tenderly by another organization
OF the Roman Catholic Church
The yard Of the city PRISON was occupied as
early as sK O'Clock yesterday morning.. with
the usual display OF deputy sheriffs-perssns
invited to be present upon the occasion for the
purpose or seeing the law executed, and WI
from morbid curiosity rather than from a sense
OF duty, "would like TO see the hanging any
how"
Alter having had the toilette for the sad occa.
sion duly arranged in the cell, the culprit was
led TO the gallows By the sheriff, aud supported
by his spiritual ad visers. Ferris held the cru
cifix In his hand, and sang in a loud clear voice
the Portuguese hymn generally sung TO the
dying when taking the last sacrament, asking
Christ TO have mercy upon their departing
souls. In this exercise the prisoner manifested
considerable nerve. He kissed the cross with
violence " hich made his conduct appear 10
be more mechanical than spontaneous
After having concluded his last devotions,
he said -" NV dear shentlemans am going
10 ule, ana my ndhu IL is guilty, but my heart
is innocent. Father Duranquet and Father
McKenna have pointed me TO Heaven and the
Holy Cross, and L feel die all right and nv
soul il 60 10 God. Good bye, brothers, all"
He shock Sheriff Kelly by the hand, and
thanked him Tor his kindness to HIM in his cell.
The moose was then adjusted, the cap drawn
over the head, and thud of the executioner's
axe was heard as the body of the wife muir
oerer, Ferris, swung between heaveL and earth
As he was drawn up, he clasped his hands,
and after few slight conyulsive shrugs, in
fifteen minutes the heart ceased to pulsate.
The body having hung just half an hour il
was taken down at ten O'Clock, and deposited
in plain. neat mahogany stained pine CONN
furnished by the Sisters of Mercy.
During the execution Jerry 'Brien, who is
awaiting trial for the murder OF Kate Smith,
had mirror measuring abont SIX by four
inches, which he held out at his ecu window
TO enable him TO catch a view OF the death
scene. To him the sight must have beer any
thing but welcome, and IL is somewhat singu-
lar that his curiosity should have sought such
means for graufication.
The SISTERS of Mercy took charge of the body
OF the deceased. with a view to decent burial
But for this, Ferris left no friends who cared
sufheient for him TO trouble themselves about
those last Offices.

A GOOD RESULT OF THE WAR.-The Nash
vile (Tenn) Press and Times says" That
the cerrupting prejudices against man uaI labor
have been swept away. Private fortunes OF
colossal proportions. resting on slavery, have
vanished as the frost before the rising suu,
Thousands OF families that used TO dress In
purple and fine linen, and fare sumptuously
every day, are now thrown on their unaided
resources TO procure food. raiment and sheiter
Necessity has left open no avenue TO a liveli-
hood except manual labor. Hence the innu-
merable dissertations Of the southern new.pa-
pers on work as the only remaining means of
recuperating the wasted wealth of the coun-
try; hence the frequent exhortations To the
young men TO seek employment A nearer
contact with the once despised mech anical arts
and muscular occupations has developed ne "
ideas regarding their usefulness, excellence
and reepectabiiity. A longer acquaintance
with their attractions and serviceabIeness will
have the effect OF entirely dissipating the pre-
JUDGES OF the southern people against all kinds
of physical vocations. When that day shall
have arrived, the South will be able 70 enter
upon such career Of prosperity as never be-
fore visited its borders and su ch as its creates,
statesmen never conceived as possible"

CoNpIT1oN OF THE BAPTIST CHURCHES IN
NIRGINIA.-A correspondent Of the New York
Examiner gives an account OF a recent tour of
visitation among the Baptist churches OF East
ern Virginia, from the Potomac TO Hampton
Roads, and from the Dan river to Chesapeake
hay. He attended the anniversaries of eight
associations and found most of the churches
duly represented. He thinks the Baptists have
lost nothing relatively to other denominations,
and nothing numerically. The ministers are
as well supported as they were before the war,
and there is decided tendency towards the
better system OF having pastor TO each church,
with religious exercises every Sabbath. About
S+1C 1C00Ehave been raised towards replacing the
endowment of Richmond College, and good
degree of hbefality is exercised in maintaining
Ithe missionary boards. He says there is an
EARNEST desire for the education OF the colored
people and mat there is mo spirit of hostility
against the blacks cherished by the Christians
OF Virginia. p.

port and State by the French squadron and
land forces will take place on the l4th instant
] have been officially informed of this fact by
the Admiral in command. The preparations
for embarkatiOn which have been going on for
few days, and the fact OF the withdrawal of
these forces, have created a panic among the
population, both native and foreign, and, in
Consequence, the steamer which leaves on the
18th for Mazatlan and San Francisco will be
crowded beyond her capacity. The French
portion of the community, and Mexicans who
have been compromised, or who have given
the support TO the empire, are making every
exertion to escape the almost certain retribu-
tien which awaits them at the haRds Of the in
coming Liberals. The merch ants and respecta-
bic families not compromised in these political
difficulties, apprehending dangers from the
lower classes during the interim of the with
drawal of the French troops and the entering
of the Liberal forces. have sought the protec.
ton OF this consulate. ~
As no one here appeared to be able TO suggest
or to move in plan TO protect the place from
rapme and murder, informed the admiral and
the commander Of the place that would COM
munIcate the fact and the time of the with
