Ata Naval General Uourt-Martial, assem- bled at the Navy Yard, Philadelphia, Oaptain CicERo Price, of the United States Navy, was recentlg tried on the following charge and specifications, viz: Charge.—* Neglect of ory Specification.— In this, that the said Lg, Cickro Price, of the United States navy, hav- ing taken command of the United " States steamer Jamestowt on the twenty-fifth day of September, eighteen bundred and sixty-two, said vessel being then in commission, and lymg off the navy yard at Philadelphia, siti out for a foreign cruise, and on the completion of said fitting ont, said Captain Cickro Prics, of the United States navy, having sailed, on the twelfth day of Octo- ber, eighteen hundred and sixty-two, with the said vessel under his command from the eg Aes at Philadelphia, under orders trom avy Department to proceed to the East Andies and the coast of China, did fail, before sailing on the said twelfth day of October, eighteen hundred and sixty-two, to transmit to the Secretary ot the Navy complete lists or Muster rolls of the officers and rated men un- der his command on board said vessel, and that, during the cruise of said vessel, while under his command, from the twenty-fifth day of September, eighteen handred and sixty-two, to the time he was detached from said vessel, the seventeenth day of October, eighteen han- dred and sixty-five, he was habitually ne- glectful of his duty in transmitting to the De- artment the muster-rolls of the said vessel as is required of each commanding officer, and which it was his duty to haye done.” Of this charge the accused was found guilty, and senienced as follows: “To be suspended from rank and command for the period of two (2) years, and to forfeit one-half of his leave-of-absence or waiting-or- ders pay for the period of his suspension.” ifthe Department nad any hesitation in ap- } ee ge this sentence, it would not be caused the severity of the So awarded. eglect tocomply with the regulations respect- ing muster-rolls and other retarns has become so common as not only to embarrass the Depart- ment but cause serious injury and losses to the men. An instance occurred in this war, where @ naval vessel went to see and was lost, with all her papers, and no muster roll having been forwarded to the Department, great delay and suffering bas ensued among the heirs of those on board The Department regrets the necessity of bringing to trial and punishment an officer of the age and experience of Captain Price, but ccmmanding officers must understand that the Jaws and regulations for the protection of en- listed persons cannot be evaded. Captain Cicero Prick will be considered as suspended, in conformity with his sentence, from this date.

Tux ALEXANDRIA MILITARY ComMIssion.— At the trial yesteraay of the parties charged with being concerned in the Christmas riots in Alexandria, Jane Grey (colored) testified that on Christmas day John Anderson was eating dinner with her; heard a crowd was beating a negro man; went down to the cornerand saw the crowd; Anderson pulled off his coat and said he could whip any rebel man who struck a Union man; Anderson went up to Mankin who struck at Anderson who knocked Man- kin’s (John) hand up; John Maniin then shot Anderson, and as he turned he was shot again by Oscar Mankin; did not see Huntington there atthe time the man was shot, butsaw nim a few moments after; saw George Javins and Drownes in the crowd at the time of the shoot- ing; Anderson came across the street towards Mankin; Anderson got four or five paces from the corner when he fell; after he fell stones were thrown, but by whom witness does not know; Mankin struck Anderson in the face: the white crowd was atthe corner below, when Mankin called for them; Oscar Mankin was with the crowd when his brother fired, but ee immediately up; saw John Mankin re. Dr. Louis Heard, surgeon at L’Overture Hospital, was next called and testified as to the kind and condition of the wound of Anderson, who died on the 30th of December; took the wound to be agun shot one in the lett side of the back part of the head; probed the wound but did not find the ball; the shot was from an elevation; the party firing was & little to one side and behind; believes the wound caused death; a ball was produced, sent to witness, by Dr. Bently, as the one taken from the head of Anderson after death; were two wounds, one in the head and ene in the thigh; thinks it was a cartridge ball; the hole it made was 3-16 of an inch in diameter. After several interrogations by the defence in reference to the weight of the pall, direction it took, relative positions that the parties must have occupied, &c., &c., the Commission, at 2% o’clock, adjourned till Monday morning at 11% o’clock. Tae Law or ees ee Decision.—A case of McCabe ys. the New York Sunday Mercury, for libel, was decided on Thursday, before Judge Jones, in the New York Superior Court, in favor of the newspapers. Tne court, in rendering its decision, determined an inter- esting pointof law, which is thus stated: The court held that an editor or reporter is not legally liable to prove the absolute truth of pone or accusation which may be em- bodied in a fair report of proceedings before a legal tribunal, and thatit is sufficient justifi- cation to show thatthe facts repor have transpired as they were narrated. If the de- cision were otherwise, every conductor of a newspaper could be forced at the willor ca- Tice of a litigant to become the plaintiff or de- mdant alluded to in any report which might appear in his journal, the accuracy of which might be questioned. The ruling thus decides that an editor isa mere publisher of actual oc- currences, and cannot possibly assume in law the position of a liiigant in cases which he re- ports, and of the merits ef which he must ne- cessarily be wholly igeerant. Had the court ruled differently, an editor or reporter could be compelled to take the place of a dozen plain- tiffs or defendants in a day—the number to be only decided by the reports which either party to @ suit might choose to consider libelous.

The accounts are not toa very late date, ex- tending only to the 23d of November, but the disease is represented to have been very severe, the deathstin Gaudaloupe in five days being 75 in a population of 10,000. At Point-a-Pitre in three days the deaths were 149. The physicians of the island were divided in opinion whether it was the cholera or not. It was declared by some to be a plague, more deadly in its ravages than the dreaded Asiastic disease. It was brought to the island bya vessel from Marseilles on boardof which two passengers had died of cholera upon the voyage. The West [ndian authorities resorted toa novel mode of check- ing its advance, ordering that not only the clothing of persons who fell victims to the epidemic should be burned, but the houses in which they resided, and the furniture therein. fennel neostl ous 5 aaa 105 a7In New York on Tuesday a res) dressed individual calied upon Mrs. Newman —who carries on her late husband’s business of undertaker, in Court street—and near! tably choked with sobg, and witha white handket- chief employed in ing the tears from his eyes, informed the lady that his dear wife was dead and that he demred the best coffin in the store.

RG, Jan. 19—To-day, Mrs. Mira Grinder, the « Borgia” of this city, expiares her enormous crime by an ignomtnions Ge«:)) on the gallows. There is & strong repugaaace m afi civilized communities to the execution of women. But the persistent spirit of murder developed by thie modern « Borgia” has. in a great measure, chilled the ming of the 27th of iazt: “s ness, BAL sea, intense Smead in the heart, Ke.

This advice was acted upoa, and during her absence from Pittsburg, Mrs. Oa~ ruthers enjoyed excellent bealth Soon after her return to this city, Mrs. Grinder recommenced her kind attentions of bringing food, &e., and Mrs. Onruthers was again seized with the same symptomeas before. Her case was given up as hopeless, and mother was sent for. That lady arrived on the 2th of July, and, eating of the food fnrnished by Mrs. Grinder, she was seized with the same Ulmess as that which afflicted her daughter. On the first day of August, Mrs. Caruthers died. During the preparations for the fanerai, bone were more Attentive and useful than the murderess, and she exhibited so mach kind- ness and sympathy to the bereaved husband and mother of the deceased, as to completely disarm all sf&picion. She next sent a bow! of poisoned soup to Mrs. Marguerite Smith, who resided within two doors of this monster. This family consisted of seven persons, Mrs. Smith and oz childrea. With one exception they ate of the soup sent them by Mrs. Grinder, and all who partook were taken ill, one of the children dying. The attending physician informed Mrs. Smith that in his opinion the sickness of her family was occasioned by poison. Mrs. Grinder, who was. present, rejoined, “That man is a fool.” Suspicion at length attached itself to this self-possessed and heartless murderess. Arti- cles of clothing which had belonged to Mr« Caruthers were found in ber possession. The body of the murdereg woman was exhumea, and a chemical analysis of the stomach by e perienced chemists revealed large quantit of arsenic and antimony. Mrs.Grinder was at once arrested and brought to trial, and on the 26th of October she was found guilty of murder in the first degree. During her trial, and at the rendition of the verdict, she exhibited the ut- most coolness and composure, seeming a care- less spectator, rather than 4 prisoner on trial for her life. Besides the crime of which she was convict- ed another case was bronght to light, that of Miss Jane A. Buchannan, employed asa do- mestic in Mrs. Grinder’s family. She had ac- cumulated alittle money. The first attempt to poison her was made February 25th, 1864. On ‘ebruary 28th she died. The body was ex- bumed August 28th, 1565, and showed eyi- dences of poisoning. Another cbarge lodged against the condemned is for the poiwoning of Samuel Grinder, her brother-in-law. His body was exhumed and poison found therein. THE EXECUTION. At exactly fifteen minutes past one o'clock this afternoon, the judge's sentence, that she be hung by the neck until she be dead, was exe- cuted. The scene was a sad,solemn and deep- ly impressive one. The only person present who seemed to be not in the least affected was the murderess herself. At one o'clock Sheriff Stewart accompanied w 8 Deputy Sheriff Cluley, proceeded to the cell of the doomed woman, and on entering, M: Grinder remarked—«. you coming for me The Sheriff replied, «¥ Mrs. Grinder.” She calmly arose and said. “My Saviour is coming for me.” Mrs. Grinder was dressed in a brown alpa- ca dress, trimmed around the neck and down the front with white lace, lightly made kid slippers and white stockings She took a seat provided for her on the scaffold; and remained entirely unmoved while a prayer was being offered in her behalf. Her features wore a a from the time sne left her cell until thé fatal white cap was drawn over her face, Not a muscle quivered: not an expres- sion of the countenance escaped her that could by any possibility be construed into either re- morse or fear of death, mental agitation or any kindred emotion. There was nothing like a forecd determination to appear calm and com - posed; it was evidently natural and en- Urely unaffected, while words were being spoken to her by the Sheriff, her spiritual ad- viser and otbers on the scaffold,even while the noose was being adjusted, she bestowed on each a remarkably graceful inclination of the head, coupled with a sweet smile. In answer tothe question whether she de- sired to say anything, or have anything said to ber, she replied in a mild and cheerful ton er face still beaming with smiles, that she wished nothing more, but before the cap was drawn down over her face she glanced pleasantly around at the spectators, and then cast her expressive blue eyes upwards. The fatal moment arrived, and still the cul- prit stood like a statue. The staging was cleared, when Sheriff Stewart touched with bis foot the spring which controlied¢he up- right or support of the drop, and the next in- stant Mrs. Grinder was suspended in the air, struggline convulsively with death, Owing to the damp weather the noose did not work as smoothly as it otherwise would have done, and the neck was not broken by the fall. She struggled violently for several minutes, and at one time her right hand caught hold of the platform where it fitted to the drop, in spas- modic efforts to relieve herself, There —— slight pulsation at the wriet twenty minu’ after a fell, at which time she was pronounced, by Let gap an charge, dead. After hanging for half an hour, the body was cut down and placed in a neatly painted coffin, lined with white muslin; soon after which the cap was removed, and, to the astonishment of every person who saw it, the face wore exactly the same placid, cheerfal, smiling expression which characterized it on the scaffold. During the trial, and on all other occasions, the tace looked as though she might be in asweetsleep. There was no discolora- tion or disfigurement save a red mark round the leit side ¥, the neck; the eyes were closed, but when thé lids were pulled back they still looked bright and animated. Thus ended the career of & woman who was fully the peer, if not the inferior in crime, of the world-renowned Lucretia Borgia. Had she been a titled lady, like her prede- cessor, or even walked in superior society, her name would yet figure m plays and romances. All accounts agree that her character is one of the most singular on record; for, while, as will be seen below, she confessed to the horrible crimes charged against her, still she had a most abiding faith in the future salvation, and always has had. A few hours before her execution she re. marked to her counsel, “I know thatlam a great sinner, but still I know that Jesus Christ is a great Saviour.” She Jay on a couch in her cell, awaiting the hour of her execution, and no child of four summers could display more simplicity or calmness, My get rad thought- lessness of having committed a crime. Shortly before being led to execution, she desired to have her head dressed, and was very Lagoa lar in hepinstructions to the woman in atten- dance todo up her hair so that it would not come down. On several occasions during the morning, she stated emphatically that she had not the slightest fear of death, as she knew she would be saved, but only expressed her regret at being made a sort of public spectacle of, and the manner of her death displeased her. There is something inexphi in the entire conduct of the w: ’ more than courage, physical or even faith has conduce: to enable her ttn herself with i > execution was conducted with great cropetety, and Sheriff Stewart and uty Sheriff Cluley deserve great credit for given to the members of the press immediately after she was hung: CONFESSION OF THE CONDEMNED.
