Barbarous Execution of two Generals.

From the Hong Kong Mail, July 81
The following paragraph, taken almost
verbatim from the Shanghai Daily Neps
describes a recent act which, though per-
haps hard necessity, is worthy of the
man who perpetrated it:
1t appears that the viceroy had reason
TO suspect two commanders OF the
Yangchow forces of carrying on inter
course with the Nienfel leaders; so he
determined to decapitate them as an ex-
ample; but as an understanding was be-
lieved to exist between them and their
troops, it was desirable to carry out the
sentence elsewhere than in their camps
TO avoid disturbance. A messenger was
accordingly sent to inform them that the
viceroy was so pleased with the reputed
efficiency OF their men and excellent ar
rangement Of their camp that he was
coming down in person to inspect them.
Accordingly, on the 9Th ult, he made a
rapid journey to Yangehow, was re-
ceived, of course, with all honors, ex-
pressed himself delighted, and requested
the two Generals to return with him TO
Nankin, to receive more at leisure his
assurances of esteem. They obeyed,
of course, and we're probably surprised
to find a court improvised en- route,
themselves brought before it as prisoners,
accused of treachery, and ordered to be
decapitated. The sentence carried out,
His Excellency returned TO Nankin with
the same expedition which had charac-
terized his whole proceedings Disaffec-
ton has not yet been completely ex-
tinguished in the persons Of these two
officers; though their deaths may, per-
haps, PROVE a wholesome warning to
others similarly disposed.

NUT FOR THE RADICALS.

A negro man, says the Mississippian,
formerly the slave of JOSEPH Hicks, of
Brandon, Miss, not only remained the
faithful and devoted servant of his mas
ter, but after that masters death, not
long since, procured at his own expense
a handsome and costly coffin for the
body. Mr.. HICKS had no relative near
him at the time of his death except his
aged wife but his servant determined to
see that he was decently buried, and
nobly did be carry out his discrimination.

THE NOON DISPATCHES
COTTON AND GOLD QUOTATIONS

WASHINGTON, October IL, The Phila-

its correspondent was deceived in tele-
graphing a dispatch to the effect that
the President had addressed letter to

TALLY as to the constitutionality of not
sending his message to Congress, and if
he has not the power to reorganize the
Southern representatives and the ad-
ministration representatives of the
North as the legitimate Congress, etc.
The excitement which was occasioned
by this sensational report is allayed
under the emphatic and semi-ofiicial de-
mails which are published

THE JOHNSON PARTY

When the smoke clears away, it will
be perceived that the friends Of the Pres
idsnt in the North, though defeated, are
numbered by millions, and are not to be
despised- The Radicals triumphed, but
such a triumph So great party as the
Conservative party is, cannot be intimi-
dated or ridden over In intelligence it
is superior, in muscle it is equal to its
enemy. Combined with the South, it is
the majority of the American people.
