MEXICAN ITEMS.

We extract from the Rio Grand,
papers some additional particulars O
the wholesale judicial butchery a
Queretaro, which we condense, as
follows:
Miramon, at the time he was in
formed of his sentence, smiled anG
said: "This is nothing but the re.
suit of ten years that I have been
playing the leader"
A c0rreSl ondent says that both Els
cobedo and Trevino owed their lives
to Miramon and Mejia, and could have
saved the latter from being executed
if they had desired to do so, but that
they were the most active in having
the prisoners executed.
Upon the death of Macmillan be-
ing known in Queretaro and San
Luis, many ladies changed their at.
tire into mourning.
Macmillan, in his will, leaves to
the families of the unfortunate Mira
mon and Mejia one hundred thousand
dollars each.
All the official accounts published
here il regard to the trial Of Maxi
milan and his officers, go TO prove
that he was not tried but was Judi.
cially murdered.
After the murder of Col. Maxine
Campos, the shooting of the brave
Mendez, and the late murder of Max.
imilian, they speak of the great mag
nanimity of the government of Jua-
rez, which has now in reserve at
Queretaro, in the special charge of
Escobedo, forty -nine prisoners, some
of the most competent and honest
civil and military officers in the coun-
try. These forty-nine men will be
given sham trial and then all will
be shot by twOs and threes, to quench
the bloody thirst of the Juarez gov,
eminent.
Mexico is captured, and still the
President will not go to the capital
until he gets through with his whole
sale massacre of intelligence and
courage. lie feels, and with just
reason, that influences would be
brought to bear on him which would
prevent hecatombs of victims, coolly
set aside for the sacrafce, from being
executed. So you may expect to
hear, by every mail, of the death of
some good Mexican citizen-frst at
this place, then those at the City of
Mexico!

HANGED.-The negro, Bill Brooks
convicted of murder in the first de
gree, last fall, was executed near this
place yesterday. The culprit reach.
ed the scaffold about twelve O'Clock,
attended by the Sheriff, Tailor and
Rev. Father Murtagh, who admins
tered to him the rites of the Church.
He was then assisted to the platform
from which he addressed the assem-
blage, admonishing them of his fate,
and his perfect resignation and
peace with his Savior. He then gave
out and led hymn which was sung
by the negroes present. He was
then asked by a colored friend if he
killed the woman. He replied
Yes, thank God l killed her for
revenge, thank God; 1 was leading
sinful life, and killing her will be
the means of my salvation; 1 cannot
go to heaven with a lie upon my
lips" BE expressed his forgiveness
to all. The manacles from his legs
Nwere then removed, the rope adjust

trigger sprung, launching him into
eternity. The execution was witness
ed by about 600 persons, five sixths
of whom we're negroes.

VThere is disease among the
mules and horses in this county,
which, we learn, is killing them very
rapidly. They are taken with a
swelling in the flank, and when it
reaches the chest they suddenly drop
dead. There is a sure remedy for
this disease, which we give for the
benefit of our country friends:
"Drench the animal with pure
whiskey, quart at dose. Three
or four doses, if given early enough,
will effect cure"
HORSE Unconstitutional they
are we'll aware of the fact that Gen.
Ord occasionally sends out detach.
ments from his "critter company"
to see that all is quiet. these men
inspired by their love of the beauti-
full in horses, often pay the farmers
flying visits. We had hoped that
when they learned the sentence of
the two that are destined for five
years on the Dry Tortugas, they
would be some what frightened and
dislst from their depredatory habit;
and that our farmers might no longer
fear the nocturnal visitations of these
lords of the highway. But such has
not been the case, and they had the
on Wednesday night last
to enter the stables of Capt. J.
D. Hart, and feloniously extract
therefrom a horse belonging to Mr..
James Dinkins. See his offer fifty
dollars reward for the horse and
thief.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Mr, Peabody.

0urreaders have seen from our
extracts, that Mr.. Peabody has
given to the people Of the South
ern States, for purposes of charity,
one million Of dollars, and one
million three hundred thousand
dollarsin in bonds due by the State
of Mississippi, being in all two
million three hundred thousand
dollars. The bonds are perfectly
good although not at par; but by
keeping thema few years, which
doubtless the Trustees. will do,
their full amount with interest
Will be realized: s
At any time, such donation,
from a private citizen, would be
an aet worthy of q heart, most
exalted in it's benefcence but, at
the present time, when the South
ern people are suffering all the
evils which war and unpropitious
seasons, and a Government. at
Washington worse than war and
famine, can produee-there is a
touch Of generous sympathy in
this prineelydonation, which our
: ordinary humanity seldom ex-
periences. 1t is a rebuke to the
blind hate and fanaticism. with
which he is surrounded at the
North whilst at the same time, it
manifests the real spirit: Of the
Christian and patriot. Other local
tiles like London or Baltimore,
which have been blessed by his
abounding charities, were the
commercial arenas where he fought
the battle Of life, and won the vic
tories of lis most remarkable sue
cess ; but. we Of the. South have
never seen or known him. From
being one of the richest, we. are
aowa one Of the poorest people in
the civilized world. With spirit.
intent on doing good, and an ele-
waited generosity, which seeks
fellowship with distress rather
than avoid it, he visits us, with
the enoblest benefactions. Other
recipients of the charities Of this
good man, may be able to testify
their sense of his kindness and
bounty, in more imposing forms
than, the Southern people; but by
none willhe be longerremembered,
as a sympathizing friend, a large
hearted patriot, and noble, Chris
tian benefacter,-Chafleston Mer,
