RIVER HEAD, l.. I.-Francis Asbprv
Hawkins, who murdered his mother while
out riding with her, was hanged in the

Hawkins embraced the Catholic faith

The crime for which Hawkins suffered

He was convicted and sentenced to be
hanged. He made the following confession;

GaribaldI as a Leader

II was az a popular soldier that Carl
baldi won his fame, and as SUCH he has
had no equal. The forces he capitalized
we're insignificant in numbers compared
with the great armaments of modern
times. His tactics were those of the Rio
Grande gurrrillss; nevertheleSs his sue
cess was astonishing, because he was pc
cuiisrly adapted 10 lead revolutionary
uprising iiks the Italian. From the
minnttuess with which he describes the
plans OF his campaigns and the dispo-
sitiOu o. his troops in each battle, and
from the oopiousr ess of the military pre-
cepts which he spriukles over his me-
moirs, it is evident that he deemed himself
9 MISTER OF the art OF war; bat the cap
tains of the future will not turn 70 him
for instruction in tactics or strategy.
His strength lay in his personal valor,
and in the unb0unded conhdence and ie-
yotion which he ins plrt IN his comrades /;
and these are qualities without which ex-
celenos of discipline, or numbers, or
technical sklil can win victories. His
fayorlte dream, that Italians could cman-
cipate tE mselves without foreign assist
auce, by rising en- masse and arm.nE
them selves witn o million muskets, was
impractlble for two reasons, which ne

BILE to obtain the names of all the killed
