The last DAYS of Maximilian's life were

row of disconnected houses, in the most COM

ceive visitors, and were not placed in solitary
cells, being treated with more consideration
than one would expect. The Imperial cause
having failed, the ex- Emperor had few friends
who desired to compromise themselves by COM
municatiou with him, and he was left chiefly
with his friend and old classmate, Prince
Salm-Salm, who followed him from Mexico on
his ill.advised departure to Queretaro.

HORRIBLE OuTRAGE.-We learn that last

q brace of fepdish freedmen upon the persons
of two ladies and one mulatto girl. 1t ap-

whom they subjected to the same revolving
ordeal. We learn the girl died the next day
from the effect of tae brutal violence visited
upon her, Not satiated with the damnable
rec ,rd they had Just made, they fr:d at a
small boy whom they met on their route,
without, fortunately, injuriug him.
The alarm being given, several gentlemen
started in hot pursuit. The criminals, appre.
hensive, doubtless, OF being followed up and
fearful of being overtaken if they remained
longer together, separated. The party got on
the track of one of them and chased him to
Briar Creek swamp, near the railroad bridge,
(about three miles above this village,) when
he darted into an interminable thicket, and
soon disappeared. Having lost all traces Of
him. further pursuit was abandoned.
We heard it reported, but Go not know how
true it is, that several firearms were leveled
at the fugitive during the race, but all failed
to explode. God grant that they may be ar.

commensurate with the dark crime they have
