From the Boston Advertiser.

| A correspondent furnishes us with some
extracts from letter written in the Ameri-
can camp at the time of Major Andres
death which will be found interesting, not
only to students of American history, but to
the general reader. The letter was written
by Major Jeremiah Fogg, native of Ken
sineton. n. H., who graduated at Harvard
College in l768, entered the army as an of
fcer Of Colonel Poor's regiment in l775, and
served until the close of the revolution.
| Our correspondent says that some years
since he found in Windsor, VT, an old SOL
dier on his death-bed, who said he was one
of the guard at the execution of Major An
Dire. and his account seems to confirm and
exnlain the letter. He said that Major
Andre took out two white handkerchief
and asked an officer to take one and bind
his arms, and the other to blindfold his
ewes. He was very handsome man, and
in full uniform. AS he stood in the COM
mon army cart, under the gallows, he said,
Officers and soldiers, | am reconciled to
nv death, but not to the manner. | wish
YOU to remember that I die like brave
man."
CAMP, ORASGETowN, October 2, 1870.
Dear Sir,-Received your packet by
Major Wiggin. have written repeatedly,
but what or by whom is out of memory.
The last, think, was concerning the plot
since which the said Major Andre, Clin-
toms adiutant-general, has been condemn
ed, and was to have been executed yester-
day, but flag concerning him prevented.
Governor Robinson, with two able attor-
news, landed with letter, from Arnold,
provoking and insolent, directed to his Ez-
cellency. General Green received them,
broke open the letter, and returned it with
due contempt The purport was that Andre
was not spy, but meant only to meet him
within the British lines, but by accident
blundered within our sentries, and had
passport from Major General Arnold and
II he was hanged the .seyerest retaliation
might be expected. ..~ - :. "a. :.
What can be done? The law must be
satisfied. He is spy,, and notHithstand-
ing what he (Andre) calls the futile argu-
ments of his friends, says he deserves
death by the law and usage of nations. He
was taken within the lines.
He is a man of elegant form, education,
