The Murderer of Mollie Magreder | Pays the Penalty ot His Crime. Lexington, Mo., Feb. 16 —WwWil- liam McCoy, the negro murderer who was banged in the court house yard here at 9 o'clock this morning. Sheriff Zach W. Wright officiated’ at this, the tenth official hanging in Lexington, and under his direction the execution was speedily and smoothly accomplished. The mur- derer was led to the scaffold at 8:45 o'clock, and after the usual prelimi- naries the black cap was drawn over McCoy’s head, the noose adjusted, and at 9:16 o’clock the drop fell. McCoy died almost instantly, the fall of seven feet breaking his neck. It was stated in the dispatches from Lexington that appeared in the columns of the Times yesterday that McCoy was drunk on the night preceding his execution. It appears, however, that the correspondent was mistaken in this. McCoy’s coufession of the murder of Mollie Magruder, which he made Tuesday morning was reduced to writing by Rev. E. W. Lewis, and yesterday McCoy made his mark th-reon in the presence of the sher- iff. Portions of it are given here- with: Lexington Jail, Feb. 14 —I, Wil- liam McCoy, in the presence of God aud at the door of death, do declare tlat [ leave the world without mal ice toward any one. As to my punishment I ean only say that I am justly punished. I now confess that Iam the cause of Mollie Ma g uder’s death and ask that I be not hustily judged, as at the time it was done I did not fully realize what I was doing. On the day in question | we had both been drinking and a moment of passion the fatal deed was done. I had noprevious thought of inflicting injury upon her Farewell, all, for I go to meet Jesus. his Wintran x McCoy. mark. Hold it to the Light.

Not Wanted in America. New York, Feb. 16.—Charlie Mitchell, the English prize fighter wuo arrived last night on the Majes tic, was detained this morning by Inspector Wormser, chief of the qvarantine guard; who refused to let him land, because he held that Mitchell was an ex-convict, he having Only recently been released from a London prison for brutally beating ‘an old man. ‘When the Majestic reached her dock the inspector went aboard and, on instructions from Commissioner of Immigration Webb, informed the fighter thatthe could not land at) present. Mitchell had with him “Squire” Abingdon Baird, Benjamin Abrahams and E. Bailey. He was somewhat surprised, but not demon strative, when he learned that he might have to return to England.

Moore, Kind Friend—I received a few lines from you a few days ago, in your brother's letter, which gave me munch gratification to hear from you, and my old friends in Pettis county. I have received one letter from fath. er’s family since the fall of Vicks burg, Wood has received quite a nhumeer. You cannot imagine how proud it makes the boys feel to get a letter from home. I have wrote quite a number of letters to father’s family and my friends in Missouri, but few have I ever received. In writing to youI hardly know much I wish to teli you. commence as I wish to tel! you some of the most important facts. scarcely any sickness at all. tke boys from old Pettis are very well. Woodford, James Franklin, Adams, Joe Stover, Jno. Baker, Sam Revis aud Ben Cruse are all here and in good health. Geo. Kemp is ia the country; his health is very good Tom Lewis crossed the river at Vicksburg and went to Gen. Price. I think he should have ccme to us and give us all the news.

We have under- gone many bardships and passed through many dangerous places, but still we are of good cheer and willing to pass through forty times as many if it is neccessary to gain more. Weall look forward tothe day when we will be permitted to return to our homes in peace, when that | day will come, I am not able to say, | perhaps it may be in one year, then; | again it may be five.

The army here is well clothed, equipped and have plenty to eat, and are very anx ious fora movement of some kind. We have become so accustomed to the cannon roar, the muskets rattle, and the loug and weary march that we go at it with as much good grace as we do to our dinner. I have learn- ed to be a very good cook; Ihave no idea but what I could excel you in covking, as Iam compelled to cook while you are not Ihave six men in my mess, it is part of my duty to get wood.

It is getting very late; tattoo has long since been sounded and every- thing is very quiet except the senti- nel who is now hallooing “Corporal of the guard No. 9.” Myself Joe Ad- ams aud several others from Pettis county, are talking about voluntcer- ing ona gunboat called the Mis souri. Perhaps the next time you hear from me I will be on the ocean. If father’s family have not heard from me you will please inform thcm cf my health. Give my regards to all my old acquaintances, they are too numerous to mention all their names. Iam much obliged to you and Rach- el for the news gave me from home it seems as you are the only oves from our neighborhood that think enough of us to write to us.
