The last China mail is full Of accounts OF
| cruelties practiced on criminals at Annoy,
some Of which are almost too revolving for
belief, A letter thus speaks of one of the
most recent Of these outrages, which was
probably no more brutal than others con-
stantly occurring 5ef ssa4., .4

names and ordered them to be hogged--the
rebel 800 and the other culprit 300 blows
with the bamboo. The rebel having re-
ceiyed his 300 blows. and borne them with
out q murmur, was taken to a cross that
had been erected for the purpose, and being
securely iashed TO IL, in an upright posture,
with his arms extended, tile executoner
commenced his horrible butchery by first
cutting off the flesh above the eyes. next
the ears and then the breasts; then he cut
through the muscles Of each arm, laying
the siivery white bone bare, the flesh not
being cut of, but left hanging, the blood
spirting out and actually bespatterlng the
executioner at each pulsation of the heart
Then the muscles Of the thighs were cut In
the same mannerl
After the executioner had performed
these dreadful tortures upon the poor
wretch, he laid his small knife aside and
took another. about ten inches long and
about an inch broad, and cut gashes on
each side of the mans chest laying the
ribs bare. Then he made several flourishes
with the knife, and then ran it into the
poor victims body, entering Just below the
sternum, In the middle of the chest. 20 the

Hethen cut the sampan mans head of. at
the foot Of the cross, with single blow,
and then returned, and letting loose the re-

barn
J But the body was Identified. So 1t has
been printed. All who have ever had oc-
casion TO Identity dead human body
know with what feelings of uncertainty
the mind is impressed, unless there are
well-known physical marks that the eye
can recognize. Death has stolen away the
expression of life, and the beholder feels
for the first time that 1t was the soul look
ing out from living face that he knew,
and not the shape Of clay now before him.
Dead men are like statues made by un-
skillful artists. mere caryatides to adorn the
house that lasts till doomsday. and dIstin-
guishable from each other only by some
peculiarly OF the carving.
Hundreds and perhaps thousands OF mis-
taken identifications have occurred during
the war, eyeu when the body sought for
was that Of near and familiar friend. In
neighborlng city, hot long ago, father
identified the body of his daughter who had
taken her own life. Deep and terrible was
the anguish which thus fell upon a worthy
family but In the midst OF II the daughter
entered the house. The ''moist unpleasant
body that had been fisbed out of the river
belonged to some one else. No familiar
friend or acquaintance was present TO iden-
tify the supposed body of Booth. and Il was
not until II had been jolted over Virginia
wagon road, and exposed for two days on
the deck OF the vessel which brought It to
Washington, that any one who had ever
seen Booth living saw what was believed to
be his dead body. The young man Har-
rold, who was taken at the same time, was
the only person acquainted with BoOthlwho
saw the man before his death. Booths
safety, II still at large, could be assured in
no other way so well as by allowing the
belief to reulan that the body OF the dead
man was his. r
So long as John II. Surratt is not found,
no man can say Wilkes Booth could not be
hid. We do not express any opinion Of our
own upon the subject, but simply point out
what Is possible. that though believed 20
be dead, the assassin OF Abraham Lincoln
may still be alive. -. /,

New Orleans daily crescent., 1866-10-29

He had slain more men, he had stolen more gold,
He had drank more sparkling wine, Y
And had uttered more oaths and had broken
more VOWS
Than did ever knight on the Rhine.
He hated the church, and he hated the state,
And he swore by the power of night,
That he never would bow to Pope or to king,
So long as his sword was bright.
Perched on a crag mid the drifting clouds,
The outlaw had builded his nest,
And he scanned the river from north to south,
And the valley from east to west. .
Over the river he stretched chain,
And the boats that passed each day,
Before they could sail either up or down,
We're forced tribute to pay.
Once year from his stronghold he sailed forth,
At the head of hundred men,
And, laden with spoils from rich and poor,
Came back to his home again.
Not pilgrim knocked at his castle gate,
Not traveller asked to stay;
But each crossed himself when he saw the
tower,
Then hastily sped on his way.
And more than score of sturdy knights,
Who had striVen to rid the land
OF this fearful curse, had fallen beneath
The stroke Of the robbers hand.
Thus long had he lived and loud had he laughed
Both abbot and lord to scorn;
And declared with the fercest of German oaths
That he was sovereign born.
Bright burned the lights in the banquet hall,
And loud groaned the tables with cheer,
And the wine was quahed from golden cups,
That were stolen from affairs near.
Then up rose the Ritter, and in his hand
Held fagon of choice Moselle,
And rapping his sword on the oaken board,
Said, ] fain would something tell.
+" Not one,' cried he "haye ever found
Who was stronger or braver than |;
Y There exists not being in Earth or in He'll
Who would dare my challenge reply.
1T is false" said figure till now unseen,
Who had entered the banquet room.
Then the lights grew dim, the air grew cold,
The hall seemed wrapped in gloom.
" come to avenge each pillaged shrine"
Thus the stranger gravely spoke,
" And in answer to prayers from ruined homes,
That loudly my aid invoke"
" have listened full oft to thy boastful speech
And have followed thee home to the Rhine,
To dare thee to draw thy bloody sword,
And to measure thy strength with mine"
" Brave thou art, by my faith, trow,"
The Ritter with rage began;
q Throw back thy cloak, and draw thy blade,
And show thyself man."
In the deepening gloom the Ritter fought
And labored hard for breath
s' Tis no use" said the stranger, "to strive wit
me,
For am thy conqueror-Death !"
And the Barons within their castles' walls,
And the Monks in their lonely cells,
Thanked Him who had sent his serya1
"Deathn
To vanquish bold Schwarzenfels.
