suffered severely.
Afterwards, tho insurgents, heavily rein
forced, charged with aachcte. NotWltnstand-
ing their inferiority in numbers the guerillas
y~aliantIy defended themselves, and although
compelled finally to withdraw succeeded in
CARRYING off their wounded.
They were obliged to leave tle killed on the
field of battle. Among the dead wore one cap

only get their "victuals and clothes''

SENTENCED TO DEATH.

lfrom the lnyO Independent, 27th.1
At 9O'clock last Saturday night Judge
Reed ordered +. p. Welch to stand
up and receive his sentence. The order
was obeyed by the prisoner not with
out perceptible effort to make his
limbs do their duty, yet otherwise
with GOODNESS and perfect selt-com-
mand. just previous a motion had
been made for new trial, submitted
without argument, and overruled, and
III answer to the usual question by the
Court, "Have you any reason to show
why sentence should not be pronounce
cdr Col. Howard quickly responded
1--WE have none." His Honor then
proceeded to read the formula of SEN
tence, reciting the man points of the
crime, for the punishment of which
he could but perform his duty and
condemn the prisoner to death
by the hangman's rope, fixing the
time of execution for the 10th day
of July ensuing. The prisoner
maintained his standing position and
apparently imperturbable demeanor
sometime after the Judge closed his
portentious remarks, and until in
formed that he could take his seat. 1t
was an impressive scene; probably
there was not one out of the large num-
Der present but who felt a thrill of pity
to see this miserable murderer ordered
to his feet only to be sOlemnly told
that his days on earth were but few,
very few, and surely numbered. 1t
was perhaps the first moment when
the doomed man fully realized the
awful nsequences-though yet but
pending-of that murderous resolve
which caused him to send an unotfend-
ing soul to eternity. After taking his
seat, the prisoner showed that he be-
gun to realize the hopelessness of his
chances, and Notwithstanding the
whispered hopes based upon the
chances of law, Welch vet plainly
shows that he feels there is no hope
for him. His counsel. however, has
by no means given up the contest yet,
nor will not until the Supreme Court
atlirms the proceedings, or a different
verdict is secured at the end of new
trial. The chances for a new trial ale
very small, but it is possible they may
serve the purpose.
