Terrible things are reported Of the
manner In which this noble prisoner,
this admirable gentleman and hero.
was treated by his Tailor and execu-
TONER There are savages in every
large army. and It is possible that this
provost marshal was one of them. II
Is said that he refused him writing
materials. and afterwards. when Cap
tain Hale had been furnished them By
others. destroyed before his face his
last letters to his mother and to the
young lady to whom he was engaged to
be married. As those letters were
never received. this statement may be
true. The other alleged horrors OF
the execution II is safe to disregard,
because We know that 1t was conduct

siderable body Of troops. One fact
shines out from the dlstracting confu-

cherished to the latest posterity as
precious ingot Of the moral treasures
Of the American people. When asked
II he had anything to say. Captain Hale
replied:

The scene of his execution was prob
ably an old graveyard in Chambers

sublimity Of these events have been

between the two hostile armies, and
General Washington had MS yet no sys-
tenn established for getting informa-
ton Of the enemy's movements and
intentions. He never needed such in
formation SO much as at that crisis.
What would General Howe do next?
II he crossed at He'll Gate. the Ameri-
can army, too small in numbers. and
defeated the week before, might be
caught on Manhattan Island as in n
trap. and the Issue OF the contest
might be made to depend upon sin
gle battle: for In such circumstances
defeat would involve the capture of the
whole army. And yet General Wash
ington was compelled to confess:
We can not learn. nor have we been
able to procure the least information
OF late"
Therefore he wanted man. He
wanted an intelligent man. cool head
ed. skillful. brave. to cross the East

his strength and Intentions He went
