From the Pllatka, Fa. Herald.
A gentleman who has been stopping in
our midst for some time gives an account
of one of the most horrible scenes ever re-
corded IN the snnols of this country:
While stesming up the placid waters of
the Ocklswshs river we Witnessed conflict
which made the hair stand on end, never to
he forgotten. After rounding Sackett's
Point the stream widens and deepens, and
the water at this bend always looks troubled
and black. Suddenly the steamer encoun-
tered sea of Rlligators, laundering and
splashiug water in every direction. Their
believing shook the foundation of the
waters. The captain said that he never
hoard nor witnessed such a scene and never
wished 10 again. Before the speed of the
little steamer could be checked they found
themselves in the midst Of the terrible mon
sters. The passengers eudeavored to drive
them away by shooting, and the hands on
board boat them with hand spikes, yet they
seemed more determined TO obstruct the
passage of the boat. The situation every
moment became more critical, and the crew
aud passengers more and more Exhausted,
q nd the destruction of the boat seemed inev
table. Already three colored hands had
been devoured by the terrible monsters and
several others wounded. Several planks
we're torn from the hull, and the steamer
was with difficulty kept from sinking. Jus,
al this period source of relief came. A
huge serpent appeared, making its way
from the lakes-the same, il is supposed
that was seen at Devils Elbow last fall
The Elligators soon disAppeored, following
the sea devil, or whatever you may call it
and such fighting never was Witnessed A
point below where the river suddenly mar
rows, soon became blocked with dead ELI
gators, and the water was red with blood
The sudden appearance and large number
of the monsters is difficult TO explain.

Nxutilated Treasury Notes.

a question having been raised as to the
application of the rules governing the dis
count of mutilated United States notes and
the use of printed diagrams, subdivlded
into twentieths, furnished for use in estimat-
ing the deduction, the treasurer has made
the following reply; deductions are made
for only the aggregate proportions missing,
and the diagram is divided into space mere
ly for convenience in estimating the loss.
No matter how many parts of spaces may
be missing no deduction will be made un-
less the aggregate loss ia more than one
twentieth of the original proportions of the
note, thus There might be one-tsnth each
OF nine spaces missing, but as the aggre-
gate loss would not exceed one-twentieth no
deduction would be made for loss more
than one-twentieth, but not more than one
tenth the original proportions Of note, but
one-tenth will be deducted, and so on until
the loss equals half of note, in which case
one half will be deducted

Hanged.


Memphis accounts of the 9:h, give the
following;
The two negroes, Harris and Rosenbor
ough, who were convicted of murder by the
Crittendsn county, (Ark.,) Court, some time
since, were hanged to-day at Marion, in the
presence of from 1900 to 1900 people, q
majority of whom were negroes.
At II O'Clock the Sheriff went into their
cell to prepare them tor the execution,
when both set upon him and beat him se.
verely. The assistance of a fellow prisoner
was called into requisition, and when about
to enter the cell door, Harris struck him
a fearful blow with brick, breaking his
jaw.
At this luncsure the assistance of five men
from this side of the river was rendered, and
upon the approach OF the first Harris struck
at him with an iron bar three feet long and
an inch wido, weighing eleven pounds,
which was lodged. The others soon fol
lowed into the cell, and after a severe strug.
gle, lasting nearly five minutes, both men
were overpowered and brought out into she
hall, where, the moment they saw the light
Of the sun, they began to pray loudly and
sing their entire demeanor changing almost
instantly. This they continued while the y
we're being tied and until they reached the
scsffold, whittier they marched between a
guard OF whites and negroes, armed with
shot guns, rifles and pistos-the oolored
preachers in the meantime offering up pray
ers and exhortstions.
Once upon the scsffold they we're asked
if they had anything to say, whersupor
Rosen borough began speaking, and contin
usd his remarks in a rambling, incoheren
manner, praying and singing part of thu
time for near half an hour, aud making 6
full confession, giving in detail the manner
in which he killed young Freeman, merely
20 obtain possession of two revolvers, anC
finally wound up by giving his bearers, par
ticulsrly the colored portion, some whole
some advice.
Harris then began and in the same
strain, praying and singing at times, fol
thirty-6ve minutes, denying his gull. to the
last
The caps were then placed upon thei
heads and q prayer offered, the prisoner
singing until the word omen, when the trsI
was sprung at precisely 1870, both mel
swinging off, and after 9 few convulsivt
shudders life was extinct. Their bodies re
manned suspended fourteen minutes, whel
lhey we're cut down and placed in coffin
and carried away.
Harris was convicted of the murder of tn
owner Of trading boat few miles abov
Marion, and although protesting his limo
oeuce 10 the last, it is believed and almos
known he WAS guilty.
just before the last prayer was offered
Rosenborough whispered TO the colored min
lister, asking him 20 prolong the service
until shutdown, intimsting that they woul
be rescued by their brethren. Necessar
precautions had been taken to prevent a
outbreak or rescue.
