After Miramon ceased, the guards
were drawn up-the prisoners were
standing facing them-the Emperor
called the sergeant, aud drawing from
his pocket handful Of twenty dollar
pieces, he gave them to him, and re
quested that after his death he would
divide them with his companions,
and asking as favor that he would
aim his bullet at his heart.
The officer gave the signal and the
volley was fired. The prisoner lay
stretched on the ground. The Em.
peror was not quite dead.
There was considerable quivering
of the muscles Five balls had en-
tered his breast. Two soldiers were
called out who shoe him in the side.
Miramon and jia were killed by
the first volley. Each of the four
balls entered in the breast. A sheet
was thrown over the Emperor by the
doctor who was to embalm his body.
The bodies were then taken by their
respective friends.
The troops moved back to their
quarters. Thousands remained, kept
by supernatural agency.
After some reflections on the mo.
tives of the Executive, the cores

AK AWFUL DEED.-Last Sunday morn
ing one of those fendish outrages which
causes the blood to curdle and the very
founts Of humanity to become as cold as
Tornero, transpired in this county. Though
the act is booked, yet it is nameless. The
victim of the hellish atrocity is a widow
lady, and who, with her three little orphan
children, resides in the 10th Civil District
The wretch is one Alexander Polk, freed
man This black devil, at the dead hour of
night, entered the sleeping apartment of the
unfortunate lady, while she was wholly IN
protected, and with violence and superior
strength, Overcame her powers of resist
ance, and Gid all that an incarnate fend
could do. As soon as the lady could do so,
she gave the alarm, which brought to the
scene Of the dreadful outrage Mr.. W. d.
Hankins, who was stopping at the nearest
house, some four hundred yards distant On
his way TO the place from whence the cries
proceeded, Mr.. Hankins met the accused
and asked him what was the matter. The
negro denied all knowledge of what had
transpired, and the gentleman passed on.
Arriving at the house, the truth, with all its
awful surroundings, was at once ascertained.
The negro, Polk, could not escape suspicion.
His being seen in the immediate vicinity of
the outrage led to close scrutiny. Early in
the morning tracks were found leading from
the accused's cabin to the house wherein
the outrage occurred, and from thence back
to the cabin again On examination it was
found that Folks footprint was exactly the
same. He was arrested; acknowledged that
he was the party, was brought here by his
gallant captor and lodged in jail, from
whence he viii be taken, we hope, to the
courtroom, and have justice meeted out to
him at an early day. It is well to state that
a preliminary hearing was had before JUS
tice Lowery, Of the 10Th District, and after
failing to give bail in the paltry sum of
$500, this black devil was sent here for safe
keeping, in order that he be held to answer
the charge of attempti1ld to commit a rape
For the sake of the honor of this people, be
it said, the grand jury, after hearing the
lady's statement found true bill against
this monster for having wilfully committed
the most heinous crime known to man. The
scoundreI is now in very safe quarters and
will have the advantage of fair and i'm
partial hearing.
