convicted by a military commits
sion IN each and sentenced to death.
At the time he made his escape
from Covington hs was under SEN
.tence of death as a guerrilla and
spy. He gave as an object for ma
king the confession that his name
would be published as arrested for
horse stealing, and as there were
those in Washington who knew
him he would be sent for.
The above statement was made
to Generals jeff. C. Davis and Wat
kins, at the Jail Tuesday, after
having been related to two or
three of the prisoners and police
man Bligh. Finding that his
statement was likely to get him
into a very serious difficulty, King
determined to put an end to his
miserable existence. He asked
the privilege of having a small
penknife, which was granted him.
With this he opened the veins of
the left arm, and would have bled
to death, had it not been that the
attempt was discovered by his
cell-mate, and an alarm given.
We yesterday paid a visit to King
in his cell, and found him too low
to speak. The alarm in regard to
his attempt to commit suicide was
given about 4 o'clock in the morn
ing, after he had bled for several
hours.
We will inform our readers of
any action that may be taken in
the case.

What a Picture!

Next August year Governor
WMiam G. Bro,onlosc will descend
from his high estate as the chief
magistrate of the State of Ten
nessee, and then he will be, polit-
ically, nobody. At the beginning
of his term he was fawned upon
and fiattered by thousands of peo-
pie. Now there are comparative:
ly
"-none 50 poor to do him reverence"
He might have been immortal
He might have linked his name to
the memory of undying deeds, and
welded the greatness of his coun-
try's glory with the history of his
administration. But he suffered
the golden opportunity to escape.
He permitted his passions and pref
udices to rule him. He will 90
back to the obscurity whence the
exigency of the times disinterred
him, and the kindliest act that his
best friends can do for him will
be to forget his elevation, and per-
init a studied silence to veil his
errors rs an executive.

Death Hour Repentance.

Death Hour Repentance
1t is a weakness Of human ma
lture to imagine that reformed per
SONS are far more honest than mer
who have never sweryed from tht
path of integrity. We embrace
this fallacy in our acts; we en,body
it in our apothegms. "a reformed
rake" they say, ''makes the best
husband"Aan untruth that has
cost many a good woman life
time Of unhappiness. Reformed
drunkards, reformed gamblers, re.
formed rogues of every descrip'
ton, have been feted and lionized
before the world as modes of per-
lection, though they have seldom
failed to impose upon those who
have placed too much confidence
in their sincerity. It too often
seems only necessary for the most
corrupt man to play the part of a
repentant, and straightway men
whose lives are unimpeachable are
thrust aside to make room for the
advancement of the imposter. In
like manner every wretch who is
executed for perpetrating some
horrible atrocity is persuaded into
the belief that he is a thorough
christian, and we are soberly asked
to look on a death upon the gal
lows as direct passport to para
disc as years of patient charity,
justice, piety, and humanity. A
cold-biooded assassin, hung recent
ly in Kentucky, boosted, after
three days devotion to religious
duties, that chs salvation was a
sure thing" Of three other &C.
knowledged homicides in Nash
vile, one protested as he died that,
''if ever there was a christian, he
was one, sure!" and both the 9th
ers assured the multitude gath
cred to see their souls dismissed
into eternity, that they were con-
Gdent of going to heaven, al
though but short time before the
prison gates had closed for them a
long career of barbarity and crime,
infamy and RIGHTEOUSNESS! Per-
haps they were right; but what
encouragement is it for men to
persevere, amid temptation, in a
course of probity and truth, if
this species of eleventh.hour re-
pentance is to be 30 successfully
represented as the mode Of enjoy
ing sin and then securing unuiistak-
able felicity hereafter?

WHOLE NO. 115.
The Military Force IN Dacotah.

From nearly every source we hear
complaints in regard to Colonel Car
rington. who commands the Mountain
District, and it is claimed that, with
him in command, the troops are power
less to protect the Powder River route.
In the Virginia Nev) Enterprise of the
18th, we find a letter from their Mon
tana correspondent, from which we take
the following extract: "a
To give you an account of my troubles
and that of the immigration over the
Powder River road the present season,
paying few deserved if not well writ
ten compliments to Maynadier at Lara
mie and Darlington at Phil. Kearney.
"a new fort this season established at
1st and I'd Piney Forks of Powder River.)
The latter commander, however, is more
to be pitied than to be blamed, as he has
got but 500 soldiers besides his BODY
guard at the new fort, with six pieces of
artillery, and, of course, cannot with
safety quit headquarters or leave the
palisade, lest the bloody Sioux or Chey-
ennes get his precious scalp, there being
too few immigrants travelling the new
road to afford protection at all times.
But, Notwithstanding the safety assured
him by the immigration, he is very un-
grateful, for he absolutely refused to
send us aid when the Sioux lad corraied
us between Crazy Woman's Fork and
Clear Creek, where we had been fighting
them two hours, and, too, when he had
250 troops but three miles away. But l
suppose he considered it our fight, with
pilgrim in command, and did not wish
to imbrue his hands in poor Los blood
Let this man, whose names first letter
is Darlington, get for final resting
place a grave as lowly as those seventy
nine unfortunates who had the misfor
tune to travel the Powder River route"
The following, on the same subject, is
from letter to the Kearney Herald,
dated Yellowstone Canyon, Sept. 9th,
1866: rf a'.a. .lis g'..r- r-7ig-sr .'.
"The redskins scared the servants of
Uncle Sam into fits, and followed the
pilgrims into my land of Canaan, killed
men right around me- stole all my stock,
and as the troops, with their brave COM
mander, Darlington, cannot reach a
country that with two men built post
In, have deemed it wisest to abandon

point nearer than Big Horn river, some
two hundred miles southeast of this,
and is there corraled, daily harrassed by
the Indians 1 tH =
Instead of this region being pro-
tected by troops, as promised by General
Sherman, immigrants and freighters
have fought their way through, and sew
enty-nine graves are landmarks for Car
rington's marches some years hence,
when the Government awakens to a
sense of its duty to its people and ceases
to send old/women to make peace with
creatures whose only instinct is blood !
