CRUELTY AVENGED.

In the reign Of Queen Annie, a soldier
belonging to marching regiment which
was quartered in the city of Worcester, was
taken up for desertion, and being tried be-
fore courtlmartial, he was sentenced to be
shot. The colonel and lieutenant Col. be-
ing at that time 10 London, the command of
the regiment decended of course to the ma
ior, most cruel and inhuman man. The
day on which the deserter was TO be execu-
ted having arrived, the regiment, as is usual
on those occasions, was drawn out to see
the. execution. f.art n1.4i itI. aiE
1t is the custom on such occasions for
the eorporals to cast lots for this disagree

see the lots cast IS usual thet were surpris-

hands of his own brother, who was only a

On his knees did the poor fellow beg
that he might not have n hand in his
brothers death; and the prisoner begged
to die by any other hands than those Of a
brother. The unrelenting officer, however,
could by no means be prevailed upon to
revoke the sentence, though entreated to
do so by every inferior officer in the regi
ment on the contrary, he swore that ths
prisoners brother, and no other, should be
the executioner, if it were only for the ex>
ample's sake, and to make justice appear
more terrible. When much time had been

The Major, strict TO the maxims ofcruelty,
stood close to see that the piece was perfs, 10

the third motionsof the cane be the signal to
fire. Accordingly, at the third motion, the
maiar, instead Of the prisoner, received the
ballet through his swn head and fell lileless
to the ground. ~ .a..,..., =. f,..s

treated the officers defer the execution of
the condemned brother till the Queens pleas

complied with, the city chamber ethat very
night drew up very feeling and pathetic
address to her majesty, setting forth
the unparalleled cruelty the diseased Off

Nero had to submit to strict discipline,
his master intending to thus train him
up to fame aud renown. .-....
On the day set, Nero had become per,
fectly trained, and having grown extreme
ly thin upon his scanty meals he now ran
like a race. horse, veritable Eclipse, in.
variably distancing his master, who fol-
lowed with fast trotting horse in har>
ness Both exercise and spare diet
were, however, strictly adhered to up to
ths day preceding the one on which the
race was to come off. On that, the thir-
teenth day, as ou the first day, poor Ne
ro was sgain starved. At the usual hour
of eleven his master appeared, but Nero
was doomed to disappolntment-no trot,
no herrings on that day. With eager
eye and impatient grunt he signiiied his
desire to be released from his pen, but
alas, it was not so to be he had to sub,
init to day Of fasting and prayer--or,
at least, prepare for the race.
On the fourteenth dey both horse and
hog appeared at the starting post, eager
for the race 1t was beautiful day,
and the road was lined the entire dis7
tance, on both sides, with. anxious and
delighted spectators eager to see the
sport. Punctually at eleven o'clock, at
tap Of drum, of; they started, amidst
shouts and hurrahs of the multitude.
The first two miles were closely contested
1t was emphatically neck and neck
race l.; but Nero, light as feather (apd
having in his minds eye, probably, his
delectable meal, now fairly flew over the
course, gradually leaving the horse be-
hind, keeping the lead the entire dis,
tance. Amidst shouts and hurrahs, the
waving of handkerchiefs, and the widest
excitement, he reached the ending post,
beating the horse ty half a mile and
winning the race triumphantly. Hf
For this extraordinary performance
Nero was rewarded with pallful Of her
rings, which, having ieasted upon to his
hearts content, he waddled back to the
Hague, in the care of his muster, "the
admired of ALL" Ills master, pocketing
the purse of one thousand guilders, gen,
erously spent one hundred guilders for
Nero's portrait, and which is now pre-
served at the sportman's club at the
Hague.

Gov eSwANs's REBEL MILITIA.-The
correspondent of the Times, in a dispatch
of Tuesday, says: Gov iSwann's recent
purchase of three batteries of Napoleon
guns for the use of the Baltimore militia
battery companies, the officers of which
are ex-rebels, has occasioned great com
ment in political circles here, aud the
opinions expressed regarding the matter
are, of course, Influenced by political
predictions. There is no doubt, how
ever, that the Maryland militia, mainly
composed as it is of ex.rebel soldiers,
would willingly carry out the programme,
which has been talked of for them, of
forcibly taking possess ion of the capital
at the ensuing session of Congress. 1t
does not matter whether the programme
originated in the fears of Radicals here.
or In the minds Of the officers of the or.
ganization, it is tho absorbing topic of
conversation on the streets of Baltimore,
and yesterday during the parade of the
Third Maryland Zouaves, regiment
numbering Eve hundred and fifty men,
similar remarks we're made to your cor>
respondent, who happened to be present
in Baltimore on the occasion. 1t is cer-
tain, therefore, that the troops are will
ing to act, and it is only necessary to
have them act that they should be called
on from Washington. -7. Iaa
Another correspondent says that it i.
learned from official sources that Govern.
or Swami made application to Mr.. Stan
ton, prior to his Withdrawal from the Wal
Department, for artillery equivalent to the
amount in value of the arms that Mary
land was entitled to, and Mr.. Stanton
said the request should be granted. He
retired from Office before the thing was
consummated; and when the subject wa:
renewed to Gen. Grant, Gov. Swann's ap
plication was refused on the ground, it is
said, that the law does not authorize tn,
kind of substitution Of arms proposed. =
This statement explains the report that
General Grant had refused arms to the
State Of Maryland. 70 i.l.
