LOCAL NEWS. Norics.—After having for many years printed the lists of letters remaining uncalled for in the post office of this city, (under the law author- izing their publication In the newspaper having the largest circulation within the usual delivery of the office,) the proprietor of the Star has at length felt compelled to decline their further insertion, because of the great space they have come to occupy, and of the fact that for months past he bas been forced to lay over on each occasion, when printing the lists, advertisements the insertion of which would have paid at least double as much as tLe law allowed him for the letter list. In addition to this positive pecuniary loss by their insertion since those lists have come to be as large as the New York city letter lists, they have entirely—on the day on which they were printed —defeated his purpose of making the Star always a sewspaper—news being its well-known speciality.

U_S8.8.Srurrine Stongs, Potomac River, J 3, 1862.—We left the Navy-Yard at Washi n at 5 o’clock last evening, and arrived at Indian Head at baif-past one, when we put Com. Wyman on board the Harriet Lane After some delay, waiting for the setting of the moon and the eve- ning star, we left at 10 o’clock, and ran past the batteries, commencing at Cockpit Point and end- ing at Chapawamsic Creek. Strange to say, al- though the night was clear, and we were fully prepared to be pitched into, nota shot was fired into us. We arrived here, off Liverpool Point, about three miles above Aquia Creek, and just ibove Wade's Bay, on the Maryland shore. We are all cone fogetnee, for there are the old Free- born, (Capt. Ward’s vessel, you know,) the Island Belle, the Reliance, the Satellite, and last, not least,'the Stepping Stones. But the Reliance ts going up to-night, and will convey this truthful chronicle. Last night, when we got down here, we heard that there was a great fire at Aquia Creek. It broke out about 5 o'clock, and !t was soon ascer- tained that the celebrated depot that Capt. Ward had shelled was burntdown. Well, such may bide fact ; if not—well, again, it ought to be the We went on shore to-day, and visited the en- campment of the ‘‘sogers” under the command of Colonel Graham, Sth Regiment, Excelsior. The colonel is a noble specimen of a man—tall and erect, with a reddish beard, of a sanguine-nerv- uos temperament. Col. Graham ts the beau ideal of a soldier—a character which his gray and Plercing eye fully bears out. Major Olmsted is another gentleman worthy of notice. He is what may be called an old man, but very active, with a bald head, but very curly beard and whiskers. He was the life and sou! of our party Lge Another gentlercan worthy of notice was Capt. Mew, an Englishman, who fought in the Crimea. He was ‘‘a gy good fellow.’’ The other officers who were kind to us were Capt. G. H. Quarter- man and Capt. H. L. Allen.

Lanahban replied wi some impudent words, whereupou Brennan, Placing his hand upon Lanahan, pushed bim into his place Lanahen said, “ Do that again and [ll shoot you”? Brennan turned quickly and in- uired, ‘‘ What was that you said, si and on the instant Lanahan raised his musket and shot Brennan tn t! ide, killing bim tustantly. Brennan was a fine-looking man and an excel- lent officer, and his death caused much excite ment. Lanahan having been court-martialed was ad- jndged guilty of the chrrges preferred against bim, and was su uentiy sentenced to be hung on Monday, the 6th day of January, 1862, at such hour as the Provost Marsha! should appoint. His sentence was read to him day before rey in his cell at the central guardhouse by Corpors! Burnham, of the Sturgis Rifle Corps, and be hes since been preparing himself for bis fate This morning, at half past nine o'clock, a hack drove up to the door of the Central guardhouse, where Lensbee ‘was confined. Father Walter, of St Patrick’s (Catholic) Church, the spiritual adviser of the prisoner, went into the cell. Soon after a sergeant, with a file of regulars, (2d Infan- try.) halted tn front of the guardbouse, and pro- ceeded to lond their muskets. The bystanders were kept at a convenient distance from the door, and the passageway in the guardhouse was cleared of intruders. After about balf an bour, the prisoner was brought out of the cell by the guards. He was dressed in the uniform of the regiment he belonged to, and had on the regular overcoat. His arma were tied bebind him with a rope. As he passed out to the hack his step was fir ind except his prleness, he exhibited no signs of perturbation. He stepped into the coazh with two guards and bis spiritual adviser, (Father Walter,) while a soldier baving with hima rope for the execution, mounted the box with the driver. The sergeant’s guard formed upon each side of the coach, and the prisoner was conveyed by way of Ninth street to Pennsylvania avenue, and thence to Franklin Square, where detach- ments of several regiments of regulars were being assembled to attend bim to the place of execu- tion The curtains of the carriage were kept down. About I o'clock the cortege, composed of de. tachmente from five regiments of infantry, started to the place of execution. (he carriage with its guard being about the center of the column They marched ont Fourteenth street to its inter- section with Vermont avenue, and turned into that thorengbfare. The scaffold wre erected on the commons between O and P sts., near Vermont avenue. It was elevated about § or 10 feet from the ground, and the rope pendant from tne cross- beam was directly over the trap, which was In the center of the platform. The mournfal procession having reached the piace of exccution—marching without musie— was formed into a hollow square abont the seaf- fold; nine companies of the Second infantry—to which the parties belonged—being o1 the north side; detachments of the Third and Tenth regi- ments on the east; the Fourth infantry on the south, and the Sixth regiment he west. The troops having come to an “‘ order arms,” the pris- oner, at @ quarter past 11 o’clock, came from the carriage, accompanied by Father Walter, and Processes by a single armed guard, and followed vy another, ascended the sieps with = firm tread. His hands were pinioned to bie sides. Assistant Adjutant General—Lieut. Devaux— then read in aloud voice the order, containing a recapitulation of the facts, the finding of the court martial, and the sentence. The scene during the reading was a most im* ressive one. The prisoner stood upon the scaf fold with his spiritual adviser by his side; the other persons on the platform being the two guards already mentioned, Lieut. McLaughlin, of company G, 2d infantry, and Corporal Brown, of company 1, same regiment. weather was lowering, threatening clouds driving athwart the sky, and 2 few flakes of snow occasionally falling. The field was covered with snow, 2s was Meri- dian Hill in the distance. The hollow square of infantry was two or three hundred yards atross, and outside of this were a few spectators—certainly not a thousand in all, as but few Geepepe, knew the time and place of exe- cution bese spectators were all on the south or city side, and the ground being considerably ele- vated at that point, the scaffold and its surround- ings were visible to all. Many of the lookers-on were on sheds and out-houses near thescene. The troops quartered on and near Meridian Hill were gathered in groups upon the hill sides, watching the scene from that distant standpoint One or two artists were on the ground, on the south side, sketching with busy fingers for the Pictorial papers. During the reading the prisouer stood com- posedly on the platform, turning from side to side of the square, as if to take a last look at his brother soldiers. After the reading of the order the troops were brought to a parade rest. Father W alter then put on his sacerdotal robes, and knelt with the prisoner for avout five minutes They then arose, and the prisoner firmly stepped to the side of the scaffold nearest his former com- rades of the Second, and looking towards them and slightly turning his head towards the others, exclaimed in a loud and unwavering’ voice: ‘* Good bye, soldiers, good bye.” His composure through the whole of the te scene was such as became a soldier. Father Walter then removed the prisoner’s military cap from his head, and placed thereon the ominous black cap. The Been then — upon the trap, and Corporal Brown just the rope around his neck. During the few moments before the fall- ing of the drop, Lanahan stood without a tremor. At half-past 11 o’clock, Corporal Brown placed his foot upon the spring, the drop sunk, and the prisoner fell about five feet, bis head and the up- ver pornos of his body being concealed by the latform. He swung around and around fora lew minutes by the untwisting of the rope, and there was a slight convulsive movement of the legs, and a drawing up of the body, which soon ceased. There was not the slightest movement of the bands After hanging about 15 minutes the body was examined by the regimental surgeon, and life was found to he extinct. Orders were given to the troops of ‘‘shoulder arms,” “‘left face,” and they marched off the field. The body was then lowered to the ground, and the rope removed. An army wagon had driven up In the meantime with a coffin, in which the body was placed. The coffin was then put in the wagon, a file of soldiers (comrades of deceased) jum) in alongside of it, and the driver directed his course te the Cath- rr peepee in which the body was to be in- terred.

The General Order for the execution of private Michael Lanaban recites the history of the court- martial’s action in his case, and then goes on to say: 2.
