EXECUTED Charles Parks freedman, was ex-
ecuted in this place Friday last for numbering
his wife. A very large cOncOurse of negroes from
the surrounding country gathered to witness the
execution, together with a number of whites, but
the day passed off without disturbance of any
sort The civil officers took the necessary pre-
caution to organize and strong police force,
and would have been ready to suppress any dis
order, but we learn that all classes behaved with
so much decorum that there no interference

A BRAVE NORTH CARoLNIAN- South Carolina
officer furnishes tribute to North Carolina sol
dier which we must give i'll own words, as
his paper has been unfortunately misplaced:
At the first battle of Fredericksburg, Ransom's
North Carolina brigade was ordered to reinforce
Cobb at the celebrated stone wall, which Burnside,
like Fremont and Sheridan, tried to capture, and
with the same success AS soon as the brigade
appeared, more than division of the enemy
opened a terrific fire upon it, and the batteries
on the other side rained their shot and shell with
the most deadly precision. The men were pushed
with all rapdty to the precipice back of the wall,
sprung down it to find shelter behind the walls.
But dignifed mountaineer of the twenty-ftth
North Carolina regiment refused to run at ALL and
walked forward with the most leisurely indiffer-
ence. His hat blew off. He went back and picked
it up. His knapsack, probably hit by ball, fell
Off He stopped down. readjusted it, and went
on. He was now the solitary target for more than
thousand rifles but this did not quicken his
pace When he reached the precipice he deter
mined not to risk the leap, preferrlng to slide
down gently. He did slide down, but it
dead man he reached the bottom.
He was buried that night and there was not an
inch of his body which was not pierced by ball.
