WALLACH, Editor and Preprister, | WASHINGTON CITY: FRIDAY........--seseee-» MARCH 3, 1865. mz BEADING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE | SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- | GRAPHY AND OTHER MATTER. _—— THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRIOULTURE, The Department of Agriculture is now re- ceiving its assortment of foreign seeds which | it designs sending out this spring. We have never before seen so fine samples,and doubt | Rot that they are the most valuable vegetabie | and grain seeds ever brought into this country. | Last year we took occasion to try many va- Fietles of the Department's seeds, and in every instance they proved sound, and as represented upon the labels; 8 wonderful fact, as all know who have occasion to plant many varieties of | garden seed. Under its present management this Department is fast becoming of incalcu- lable benefit to the country, as Commissioner | Newton is certainly spreading broadcast a large number of the most valuable seeds which can in no other possible way be imported and | disseminated into every county of every Mtate | ofthe Union. These seeds embrace hundreds | of varieties never before brought into the Uni- | ted States, large numbers of which will be found most important improvements upon our fruits, flowers, vegetables and grains. | ‘We may not inappropriately add that Com- missioner Newton’s annual report, now being sent out, is by far the ablest and most practi- cal document that has so far graced the his- tory of the Department, testifying in almost its every article to the zeal, fidelity and ability with which his trust is managed. Among its Tost noteworthy bureaux is that in charge of Mr. Glover, the naturalist, whose collection of fruits, vegetables, birds, fishes, insects, | animals, fungi, &c., &c., (all of anima- ted nature,) being either friends or foes of the | American farmer is not only the most exten- sive in this country, but so arranged and ex- plained (in labels) as to afford the critical vis- itor interested in practical agriculture, lessons of great value indeed. We were not originally in favor of the in- stitution of this department, nor had we faith in it until under the management of its present chief it has already done so much for the im- provement of every branch of American agri- culture. GUERRILLAS. Yesterday, thirty guerrillas, of Mosby’s and Kinceloe’s gangs, recently captured in Lou- doun and Fauquier canunties, were forwarded from the Old Capitol prison to Fort Warren, under eharge of Lieut.

ES EE Sergeant Sparey Shot to Death for Deser- tion, Drunkenn Duty, and At- tempt te Commit a Rape. A few minutes bofore noom to-day Sergeant Charles Sparey, of company E, 13th New York cavalry, suffered the sentence of death passed upon him by the court martial of which Lieut, tariff to deliver foreign goods shall be allowed the increase on their contract price. Mr. Pomeroy moved to amend by striking out fifteen cents addition per hundred pounds on railroad iron and inserting ten cents. Mr. Henderson advocated the amendment, alleging that the whole manufacture of iron paid taxes only to about the amonnt of three millions, while the tobacco manufacture alone paid a great deat more, as also did many other branches of industry The amendment was adopted—yeas 24, nays 13 3 On motion of Mr. Sprague, an amendment ‘Was adopted to permit the importation of ma- chineFy fof the mannfacture of fabrics made from fiax and hemp for one year from the pas- sage of the act. An amendment, offered by Mr. Davis, to re- duce the duty on coffee, sugar, and rmo- lasses one half, after the 30th of Jane, was re- jected. The tariff bill was then passed. Mr. Powell offered a resolution tendering the thanks of Congress to Mon. Hannibal Hamlin for the able and impartial manner in which he has presided over the Senate for the last four years; which was unanimously adopted. Hovse.—Mr. Dawes offered a resolution that there be paid to the tive claimants of seats trom Louisiana and the three claimants from Ar- kansas two thousand dollars each as compen- sation and mileage. These gentlemen, he said, had been here for three months, not as mere adventurers, but in the honest prosecution of their claims. The Col. Cartwright, ot the 20th Massachus:‘tsgy voting of the money did not commit the House was president, in the yard of the Old Capitol Prison, in the presence of about 100 of the Veteran Reserve Corps and a few officers and civilians. The prisoner was a native of Ireland, and we beueve had no relatives in this country. He was about 3() years of age, and immigrated when he was 18, since which time he has been mostly in the military service, having before the war took piace served some years in the regulararmy. He was about 5 feet 10 inches high, rather thin in flesh, but boney, and wore a heavy mustache. The charges for which the sentence of death ‘Was passed upon him were, that on the isth of June last, while in command of a picket post near Langley, Fairfax county, Va. he unne- cessarily absented himselt from duty; dranken- ness while on duty, and with agsauiting Anna M. Nelson and attempting to ravish her person. The circumstances connected with the last charge were marked by great atrocity. It was proved that he went to the house of the parents of the girl, (who was only fifteen years of age,) and after locking them in @ room, knocked her senseless and attempted to commit the horrible crime. He was arrested shortly after the com- mission of the deed, and sent te the Old Capitol, and in August last was tried. The sentence of the court was not madé known to him until Tuesday last, when the officer in charge read the proceedings of the court with the findings and approval to which he listened attentively, but “betrayed no emo- tion. Soon atter he, however, sent for Rey. Father Boyle, who had previously visited him, and be at once devoted his few remaining hours to his spiritual welfare, receiving daily instructions of Father Boyle and some of Sisters of Charity. This morning the prisoner was cleanly shaved and prepared fer the execution, and Rev. Father Boyle at an early hour called and was admitted to his cell—room No. 14 second story of Uarrol prison—and up to the hour of his death remained with him. The prisoner ap- peared quite resigned to his fate and professed to be ready to meet his God, but he did not as far as publicly known make any confession other than to express his resignation to the sen- tence. Col. T. P. Ingraham, who was charged with the execution #f the sentence, arrived at the Carroll prison about 11 o'clock. and in a short time the guard, of the 12th V.R.C., was formed in front of the door in a hollow square, under the command of Lieut. Dow. About 25 min- utes past 11 o'clock the prisoner made his ap- pearance, accompanied by Father Boyle, on whose arm he leaned, recétving meanwhile from the lips of the priest spfritual instruc- ton. He was dressed ina small tight fitting cayalry jacket, without trimmings, blue Ppan- tafoons, and military cap. He oceeded to the hoilow equare, being preceded by a eor- poral and two men, and foliowed by the Pro- vost Marshal and the officers of the prison; the solemn p?ocession with measured step, march- ing to the Old Capitol prison. Thé prisoner was left in the hall a few minutes wit Father Boyle, whi the guard and others made the preparations for the execution. The guard, wambering about 100 men, were drawn up on the north and south side of the prison yard; wMieon the east side (agninst the kitchen) was the barricade, in front of which the coffin of tie prisoner was laid. The firing party was composed of twelve picked men from the 12th V.R.O., Col. Mansfield, under the command of Lieut. Osbourne, aad Were marched into the ¢nclosure. Two of the muskets of this party we7® not loaded,according to custom, and of course it was not known who’ held them. When the party marched in fou> men were directed to reserve their fire, so that in case of the first fire failing to kill they might be ready to finish the requirements of the order. Atabout 20 minutes to 12, whe prisoner, still aceompanred by the three soldiers and Father Boyle, walked with a firm and quick step in the rear of the guard, on the nortk side of the yard, and stopped immediately im front of the coffin, and turning towards the ffring party, he remarked that they were too distant. The party were moved forward, and took their stations about 12 or 15 paces from the coffin. The prisener clased bis hands, during which time the proceedings of the corfrt-martial in the case were read by Col. Ingraham, but to which the prisoner seemed indifferent. He still engeged in earnest cenversation with Father Boyle, and at the close of the reading he tock his isave. The soldiers who had accompanied him to the place of execution were about to bandage his eyes, when he motioned that he did not Wish the bandage puton. His wish was com- lied with, but his hands were tied behind his ack with @ handkerchief, and he then was directed to move behind the coffin and kneel, but the position of the coffin not seeming to suit him, he arose aud walked to the foot of the coffin, gently moving it that it might set level on the sawdust, with which that portion of the ard was strewn. He then took his place, neeling on the coffin. At a given signal the command was given, Ready—aim—tfire !” and the pieces were dischargea simultaneonsly. The condemned man fel} over on the right side, and severa) parties, including Father Boyle, hastened:to the spot, but his eyes were fixed, and in a few moments he was dead. Dr. C. M. Ford immeg@iately examined the body, and found tbhatse vera} balls nad passed through the breast, one of which must have passed very near the heart. The body was removed to the dispensary, where it was placed in the coffin, and it will be delivered to Rev. Father Boyle, who will see it respectably interygst. FROM THE RAPPABANNC UK.

Mr. Pendleton addressed the House at length upon the bill heretofore reported by him from the Select Committee, to admit to the floor of the House the Cabinet officers, to be interro- gated and answer such questions as may be propounded respecting their several depart- ments. He said, in the course of his remarks, that if no other good had been produced by the debate, ithad shown that the Executive power ought not to be increased.
