In this my first letter from this empire I shall endeavor to form an epistie which will contain the most important items respecting our visit to this port; and, as the clergy men say, firstly, our late cases of diarrhasa mentioned in ‘a former letter have all nearly recovered, and by the ju- dicious management of Surgeon J. L. Fox and his assist- ants, none of them have proved fatal, and we feel confident that as goon as we shall pro- ceed further north, that we shall all again recover onr usual good health. Owing to the ‘appearance of the cholera at Hong Kong, it is not likely that the squadron will return to that port before fall. We left Hong Kong on the 15th of June, and arrived at this port at noon on the 23d of the same month, As we entered the bay the signal gun was fired to give the ‘alarm that we were coming, which was soon answered by other guns, placed at proper distances in the bay, unti! they were finally answered by the signal guns on the lookout in the town. As we proceeded up the bay we were met by a large number of Japanese junks and boats, ‘the men in them waving their hats and hands, either to warn us to keep back or to welcome our arrival. Shortly after we came to anchor, the chief custom house officer, accompanied by about a dozen other officers and any number of lower class Japanese, came off to us. On being invited on board they were introduced to Lieut, Stemble. The chief officer spoke the English language well, and in quired of Mr. Stemble the object of our visit. On being informed that we came on a friendly visit aud as frie he appeared to be well pleased, and shook Mr, 8. and th: other officers warmly by the band. “ A) said he, « you come here as Americans and friends; Japanese like | }ort— you as friends, and we are glad to see you as such, and the Governor and all his people will be glad to see you | itis of a su and your big ship; and,” says he, “the Governor will ‘wood and Mount by y h, Moz (he Seyumenel: bare the this honest ce ‘@ living is looked upon asa ‘companion the murderer; they are forced to live en- tirely hy anata ane Be Tapeneee would dare to in. | vite one of them to bis house any more than he would midnight assassin, They have the greatest fear of any one that would yuiity of 7 the innocent beasts, as they term them. e town jagasaki appears 0 have been ee out by nature for ri beautiful place. It 1s situated at the head of the bay of that name, and about four miles from the effects of the ocean. The scenery, af- ter ws make the entrance of the bay, on each’ side of you is grand beyond description, and completely throws sights to be seen on your own ‘beautiful Hudson into joer As you proceed up towards the town your eyes are completely bewildered in looking at the beauti- Si econ e you. The land on each side gradually ges smarts and is covered over with forest and fruit peep, shrubbery of various kinds, dotted here and there with a neat Japanese farmhouse, around which every inch of the soil is cultivated, while the —- planis, shrubbery, &e ‘&e., send forth a mnost delightful odor And, 10 add to the beauty of the scene, are various kinds of beautiful birds, who are from morn ‘until night sending forth their sweet music. The town is protected in the rear and on its sides from the typhoons, &., by the high and beautiful mountains which run round it. ‘The Dutch physicians state that the health of the place is generally very good. In and outside of the town are to be seen some beautiful gardens, Sendoamey. laid out, and filled with the greatest ‘variety of handsome trees, plants, &e., &e., I have ever seen. We wok a stroll a con- Frovoelgndad distance out of the town, and as we were met by these people we were saluted with a very polita bow; and frequently they would come forward and take us by the hand. In some instances we were invited into their houses, which are very neatly carpeted with straw carpeting an inch in thickness; as to furniture, they do uot expend much money for’ that luxury; a8’a general thing the best of them are very poorly ‘fitted out. This carpet with a smail pillow, generally answers for a bedstead and bed. There are several temples in the place, some of which are very handsome structures, which, as well as their numerous idols, are richly ornamented with gold, silver, pearls, &o., ¢ priests, who are numerous, dress very much ‘as ‘the Catholics do. The Buddhist doc- trine is still believed in by these people. I believe this is the first time aad this the first ship that her officers aud crew have ever been allowed to land in Na i and be permitted to parade the place without being under any re- Straint. Surely better days are beginning to open to these people. “A few years ago the English and French commissioners came here to form their treaty; but they were not permitted to land, and they were forced to re- pair to a Smail island in the harbor to perform their otti- cial duties. Now mark the contrast: American ships of war in their ports, free intercourse (with a few excep- tions) permitted, oflicers permitted to reside on shore, jon granted to allow the various crews to go on 's, on general liberty, (which has been the case * Vowhatan’s crew), Americans the first (except the Dutch) to obtain such tiverties in Nagasaki. All we Want now is to see the stars and stripes waving | on shore over the residence of an American Consul, ch will be done very soon, as [ am informed Tatnall has decided to make this proval of the home government—a iron to coal ships. “Coal ia very can be procured in ali parts of the island; minous quality, and a fair trial will be its fitues for our steamers to burn.

The chief officer informed us that they could not supply us this time with fresh beef, for the reason that cattle were scarce with them, aod what few were on hand were only used as beasts of bu: but such provisions as the market afforded we should be fur uished with at fair prices and of the best quality. The next morning a large number of fowls, fresh (ish, fruit, &., were sent on board by the authorities as a pre. sent for the officers and crew. The same day Captain Nicholson and a party of his officers went by invitation on shore, to pay weir respects to the ‘nor and other officials. When they arrived at the lauding they were met by a large party of ofticials, who received them and escorted themn up to the residence of the Goveruor. Ar- riving there they were introduced te the Governor aad his suite, who shook them warmly by the anc and, ugh the interpreter gave Cap ‘1c sou to understand that they were glad to s bis ship um the harbor of Nagasaki, and that tb and crew of the Mississippi were shore at such umes as best suited them, and that the ple would not molest them so long as the Japanese were respected. The usual ceremonies of introdu &e., being gone through with, the party wa auother room, where the ¢ invited to partake of some refreshments, which were prepared in Japanese style, and consisted of sweetments, cakes, candies, wines, teas and raki. When the party’ left they were compelled by their Japanese friends to take with them the fraginents of the repast. This may seem odd, but it i* the custom of the country; and should one refuse to do so, the Japane: would consider themselves greatly slighted. Twoo! our Lieutenants and Dr. Phillips, being anxious to reside a days on shore for the benetit of their health, permmssion was at once granted, and suitable quarters in # pleasant part of the wwn were soon obtained for them—iue liret time that ever such a favor was granted to any for except the Dutch. On the uext day his Excellenc Governor, accompanied by his suite and « large guard of hover, visited the ship, to pay their respects to Capt. N. aud her officers. The marines were drawn up iu a line, presenting arms, the band playing a na tional air.” A salute of fifteen guns was also given, with which compliment the Goveraor was highly pleased, and he regretied exceedingly that he could hot return the salute, (owing to the fact that there were no forte or batteries in the place.) The bu gaars, by order of his Excellency, were thrown open for our reception, &e. The manner of doing business in this place is odd and very troublesome. In the first place, no ove but government officers are allowed to take any gol or silver mouey from a foreigner, under the penaity of being disemboweled. Al! the specie that comes into the place is taken possession of by the government and cus tom house officers, and by them it is transferred to the imperial goverument officers at the seat of govern ment.

Be that so or not, it is plain enough to be seen, by our recent visit to this part of Japan, that these people are beginning to wake up, and will soon become more enlighteued, and in due time trade will be established between this country and the Untied States on a fair basis, which will have to be | brought about by fair and honorable means. The ap- | pearance of this ship, and the Powbatan a few days after us, has probably created more excitement in the harbor of Nagasaki than ever took piace before. We have been visited by all the various oiticers—high and low grades; and the ship has been throwa open at ali hours of the day for their inspection, during our stay in these waters. Draftsmen came on board and took a sketch of our en- gives, our large one hundred twenty-four pounder, also a craft of the suip, her spars, &., &¢., which they soon put to 4 good use. In three days after this visit there was to be seen, in what is called the Kussian factory, a beautiful miniature of the good old Mississippi. The hull was of lacquered wood; the rigging was of twisted glass; her wheel houses, smoke stack and boats hanging to their daviis were as com- plete as if it was the old ship. The Lull was painted exactly w correspond with this ship. It was admitted by all to be a masterpiece. ‘The Japanese war steamer, the Japan, mountiug s: Was in port a part of the time: she is a fine ud was a present to the Emperor; she is manned by native Japanese. ers, paid usw vist, and Her be boxhi; tertamed by the who put them thre : they were gailautl of Americau sprouts it good style.

To the Mississippt belongs the credit of firing the first na- onal salute in this harbor in houor of that glorious day. In the afternoon hundreds of these peopie—officials, man- darins, soldiers, &o., &e.—came off to see the ship, to. wards’ whom every favor was shown, to let them see that we were friends to them and their nation. It is impossible to state how many soldiers they have in Naga- Saki, for the reason that every man of any respectability at All generally wears two swords—one long one, the vi: about three feet, and the sbort oue with tue blade of about eighteen inches in leugth—which are of the most magnitl cent steel; the backs of them are shaped like that of a razor, and the edges are equally as sharp, aud so highly polished that they look almost black instead of bright, aud the breata digappears trom their surtace as from the face of the finest mirror; the bilts are without “baskets of avy kind, and about @ foot in length, mtended to be grasped, when in use, with bota hands.

The guard, which is a circle of bronze, is decorated, aud frequently has wn image of a fly or other insect entangled in a web. The blades of both swords bay litte curve, and are cach evutained in separate scabbards of wood, tively lacquered, and orna- mented with pearis and corals of the richest kind. Their boats, barges and jupks are better built aad look much more comfortable aud neat than those in use in China, The sterns are built different, they being open or indented to the distance of «foot or more in their build, the poo. ple believing, perhaps, that the eddying water at this point serves to propel the craft their boats and Junks, wi of gallows at the stern. upright bamboo pole, sign, attached by & The tall, sqaure macte of on a kind a not under # At one corner to whieh t L, res happens w nt ustom house boat, th flag in of w with @ horizoutal black through th P, instead arges, such Opening out vernor ® 3 the si tect the tumates from the and some of them display @ variety of flags @ foreigner should happen to miss bis owa sundown boat, tooltun a shore boat to go ty by permission of the Governo woukl have & anese shore bout 8 boats r w be ab; cold without much } clothes; and from Weetern friends. the humble but honest occupation of fis y harbor being full of fish of the richest kinds—crawteh lobsters, sbrimpe, &. Tue Japanose have no fag dying on shore; the Dutch flag flies in that settlement. Quite an extensive machine shop bas been established in this settlement by a firm of Dutchmen, in which all kinds of machinery is manufactured. The firm intend building several steam engines, believ- ¥ as they say, that they will be in ose in all the prin sea porte and manufacturing dietricts in a few years. The Dutch part of the population of this place numbers several thousand, whoare very industrious; and their workshops and dwellings speak weil of them as being a neat and happy people. I will venture to say that two thirds of the male portion of Nagasaki have visited us doring our stop im their harbor —officers of high rank down to the humblest servant or serf, The lower class ali wore in front of them, suapended by @ cord, a woode | tray, on which was inscribed in Japanese charac name of the individual; also showing that he had sion to visit the ship.

The frigate Pow- hatan arrived bere two days after. Soon after we made this harbor, a Japanese junk was seen approaching us with the Japan and American flags flying on her; she proved to be a pilot boat. Having taken a pilot on board, we ‘very Soon found ourselves at anchor nearly opposite the residence of Col. Harris, (our excellent Consul,) which is im a little place or town called Suraki, directly opposite the mouth of the harbor, which is shaped very much like an open fan, The town of Simoda lies in a bight at the left of the harbor, (Simoda, in Japanese, means Lower- field,) and is in the principality of 1dz0o, and is nearly nthe latitude of North Carolina. The population is esti- mated at twenty or twenty-five thousand; the streets are narrow, though regularly laid out, and at their inter- sections have gates, which may be easily closed in the event of any outbreak. In al! the streets are placed stone structures, surmounted by little roofs protecting copies of the laws and municipal regulations, 80 conspicu- ously posted that all who run caw’ read. The streets are not sociean as those in Nagasaki. The houses, which are generally ornamentally stuccoed in light blue and white diamond shapes, are all one story high, without chimneys, and they do not make s0 neat and handsome ashow as the houses of Nagasaki, There are several temples in and near the place, dedicated to ditlerent deities. In the rear of the town is a lovely level valiey, for some miles in extent, through which a beautiful stream flows, of the finest water I ever tasted. The town is surrounded on either side by towering bluff hills which pro- tect the same from the heavy blows in the winter montis. ‘These hills are mostly thickly wooded, ana present a fine appearance from the water, but nothing like those of beautiful Nagasaki. The soil around this harbor, to judge from appearances, is not very good for cultivation, or else the people are to indolent to cultivate the same. Here and there the eye will catch a glimpse of afew small patches which are cultivated with corn, rice, wheat, &e. A short distance from the town, across the bay, is a litte fishing village called Kakizaki, in which also they have their temples. Here is a beautiful beach of a mile in exteat, with fine white shining sand, over which the waves are continually rolling. The next chief objects of interest ashore to be seen are the Sintoo, Buddhist tem- ples, and some others of smaller account, some of wich are dedicated to the deities of the soldiers aud mariners. All of these temples are located in the most picturesque and elevated spots. Attached to many of these temples are the Keongwas, or places where the weary traveller may rest for the night and get some tea aud other refreshments from the attendant priests. Near the principal temple is a tower of masoury, from which is hung a large bell of the most delightful and sweet tone that can be imagined. This bell is rung or tolled by being struck by a picce of wood, so attached as to fall like the tongue of a bell, This bell is tolled several times during the day and night, for what purpose I could not learn, other than it was a part of their worship. As the devotees enter these tem: ples they drop a few pieces of cash into a curious shaped box made for that purpose. In little notches by the roadside er in the neighboring rocks are placed idols and joshes, wrought out of granite aud other substances. In frout of them are to be seen Hower pots or jugs con- taining plants and flowers. Jn front of the town of Sitnoda, across the harbor, a high wall or embankment has been built up some twenty feet high, whieh jatirely protects the town from the force of the sea, Between this wall and the town runs a river of tutermixed salt and fresh water. To reach the town you have tocross this stream in a flat bot- tom boat, which is worked by agray headed Japanese, We wished to pay him for our conveyance, but he shook bis bead, and pointing tothe mandarius standing on each side of the ferry, gaye us to understand that he was not allow- ed to take pay from us, Beiug across the river, and fairly iu Simoda, we were soon surrounded by at least three hundred people, men and boys and some women, anxious to catch a glimpse at us. Some would stare as iw the face and make all sorts of signs to their companions respecting us, Wlule the little paked children would set up rid scream as We passed near them, and start off on @ run at the rate of 240, No one offered us any insult | or attempted to molest us in our travels; and when we stopped at the wells to take a drink of water, they would politely come forward and hand us a tin septs drink out of, not wishing us to drink out of the well buckets. Oar | buttons attracted considerable attention, and we were forced to gratify their curiosity by cutting olf tew from our dress and giving them to the little urchins, who ran home with them at double quick time, We visited the bazaars, and, if anything, the articles contained therein are far superior lo those we saw at Nagasaki. We could not make many purchases, reasou that they could not change our money. Their currency is entirely different from that of the latter port. For a Mexican dollar they give us the value of three of their dollars, a Simoda dollar Deing ouly thirty three cents. Taels or any part of that currency are good for nothiag in Simoda. “The way we have done u to buy whatever we wanted of the compre- a and shall settle to morrow with them in hard Mexi- can Goliars, the sight of which makes them grin.

Beautiful nice Japan brown su- gar retails, here in Simoda, for four cents per lb. On these two articles a large amount of money could an- nually be saved. The article of shoes, which all officers and sailors purchase as soon as they ey get upon this: station, can be puretnead for just one halt what we have to pay the purser for a pair of government shoes, which nine times out of ten e been so poorly made, er so badly kept in some ofthe numerous store houses at home, that they are worn out with dry rot or are partially eaten up by rats, Good stout shoes or sea boots should be pot on board for the passage out, and then let every ‘one buy his own shoe leather. ‘The Russian Admiral, in a forty. for gun frigate, ar- rived here on Monday last, from T ought to mention that ‘a Custom House officer has ac- companied all goods and boats that have come off to us. The Russian frigate above referred to leaves here to-day for Shanghae, to convey Count Putiatin to that port. He is a gentleman of very extensive naval knowledge— man of a large and warm heart; and duriug all our trials in the Gulf of Pecheli be has been a warm friend of our excellent Minister, Mr. Reed, and to our whole squadron. At heart’ he is an American, for he speaks in high terms of our country and its institutions. Hs frigate will return to Nagasaki, where she will lay several months to repair ship, for which that harbor is admirably adapted, being so handsomely land-locked. We leave here on the fourth of the coming month for Ha- kodadi, where the whole squadron, inctuding the Minne- sota, have been ordered to assemble during the month. We expect to lay there three or four weeks, and as it is pretty well north we all expect to leave it, or hope so, with increased flesh and improved in health, ' It is rumor- ed that Minister Reed will return home this fall by the overland route, and that his ship will remain out here as one of this squadvon, We have been in commission over one year, and I am happy to state that our list of officers remiins the same as when we left home, no changes hay- ing taken place, and only one death has occurred on board, and that of Smith, the bandsman, at Mauritius, last No- vember, an account of which I sent to you at the time and at this date we have no one sick that is considered as dangerously so. The weather is very fine and all hands are enjoying themselves in fresh water bathing at the va- rious fine streams that run in all directions not far from the beach, marking bedding, &c., &c. The good tidings of of the settiement of the difficulties’ and the making of treaties between the four Powers and the ‘hes eorer ment will, in all probability, reach you long before this will; therefore it will be useless for me to say anything on that great question, only that it is a great pity that it could been done without the loss of so many valuable Execution of Martin Wallace, Salem, ‘Washington er N. ¥., for me Murder of Barney McEntee. ‘From the Troy Times, Dec, 2.) Martin Wallace was hung at Salem, Washington county, yesterday, for the murder of Barney McEntee, on the 16th of February last, in pursuance of a sentence passed upon him by Hon. Cornelius L. Allen, one of the Judges of The bs ers Court. aft years of o ase, Entee, the victim, was a man over weak and inoffensive, and given to the in Iquore. Wallace was a farm laborer, who, during t Xi season, bad been employed at Hoosick Falls, in thia county, and in North White Creek. His life was of the lowest character. From habits of dissipation he was un- able to accumulate any money. A day of two before the murder he is known to have been entirely out of funds. A groceryman with whom he had been trading refused to give him credit. His landlord, at Buskirk’ , toid him he must move unless he paid his rent. His employer would give him no more orders, ag he was in debt to him. Under these circumstances, on the morning of the 16th of February, he met McEntee. The two r visited several places during the day, drinking conside- rably, Mckntee paying for the liquor, and Wallace do- claring that be bad not a cent of money. Early in the evening they were at the place of one Joice, in Buskirk’s Bridge. The old man was very drunk—so much #0 as to act milly. The prisoner seemed to be sober. Several glasses of whiskey were had at Joice’s. The prisoner did hot put much in his glasses, but McEntee drank freely. He displayed his money foolishly—a ten dollar bill on the Brattleboro’ Rank being on top of several other billsand puid for everything, While here, Wallace persuaded him {o relinquish’ his intention of going to Schaghticoke, and promised to see him safe to Post's Corners. When they left the old man was so drunk as to be scarcely able to stand. He was advised uot to go, but the prisoner pro- tnised to attend to him, and sacredly. pledged. hinaself to “gee bim safe through.” They left, and were seen a short time after by a man named Sessions, going in the direction of Wallace's home. This was shortly before eight o'clock. A little after half. past eight, Mr. Sessions, when going home, and at a distance of about balf a mile from Joice’s, came upon an ohject lying in the road. Upon stooping ‘down be saw that it was McEntee. Supposing that he was lying in a drunken stupor, he shook him and said, ‘rouse up, old man.” "Decsastd did aot otir, and be thea aw thet be was dead. An alarm was given, neighbors aroused and a hight procured, on which it was ‘ascertained that McKntee had been murdered. There were two terrible fractures ou the hicad—one_ upon the top of the alcul, and one just above the ear. From loo had Bowed very free ly, and the head of the deceased lay in a pool Near by was the larger portion of & fenee sake, which had been broken short off inthe middle, With this the blows were inflicted, and bark was peeled off from the end, and lay in the wounds. From the position in which the biows were given it was evident that they were dealt from behind: no person meeting deceased could have given them. The body was not altogether cold when found, though, as it was an intensely Cold night, the ex- ¢ freezing wallet ‘in whieh pm had his money when at ‘© was sticking from bis coat pocket, into which it dently been hastily thrust. It contained nothing A handkerchief ia which the wallet had been led was gone, There vs in the snow around body, of which adm e taken.

There had been hardly a sh evidence for the defence—so perfect was the case out for the The jury were oat about an deliberating upon a verdict, When they retarned, and announced that they had found the prisoner guilty.’ Upon the rendition of the verdict Wal who had been standing, turned pale, sank back into’ his seat, and seemed for a few minutes deeply agitated, He was remanded to jail for a few hours. Upon the reassembling of the Court, his wife, who had been with him throughout the trial, sat’ insite the bar, with her infant child in her arms. As the prisoner's eyes fell apon them, they filled with tears, but he soon regained his compo eure. Upon being asked if he had anything to say why sentene should not be pronounced upon him he replied “1 am not guilty.’ Judge Allen then, after dwelling upon the bemousness of his crime, and advising him that there was no legal errors that would entitle him to a new trial, and ao mitigating circumstances to commend him to execut) Fen} be hung on Wednesday, 11 people December. After sentence h exclaimed, “Amen to that ! J hung, Tam ready to be hung to-day his cell No new features of this case were developed until one week ago on Sunday night, At that time Wallace, having previously prepared himself with an iron procured from E bucket iu his room, worked ie way out of his cell and into a corridor, which ts separated by a wall from the main hail. There his farther progress was stopped. After working until daylight to secure egress, in vain, he re tur went upon hie od to hie cell, where be was found wien the turnkey unds in the morning. ‘The failure of, his him do As he for security against another venture, he ron me all over now,” and added that he 1 Just ceased to hope, but before bad not believed that he wid be hung, feeling confident that some me ape wonld be presented, His mental sufferings seemed to be mueli greater since; be lost more flesh during the last few days of bis incarceration than he bad done for months previously. A few minutes before twelve o'clock , the witnesses were calied upon to form themselves in a line from the jail door to the entrance of @ temporary wooden structure, about twenty-five feet square, that had been erected in the pose of execution. Including the attend. es proceer, jay Brea, witnesses and hundred pe came out. He was in his shirt sleeves, wore black pants and vest, a new pair of and black eap always worn upon the scaffold. His arms were behind his back, so as to allow of but little motion. un was just the slightest twinge about the muscles of the mouth and eyes a8 Wallace stepped out of the cell ‘and looked upon the lines through which he was to pass But it was over in a moment, and he wasfar more col lected than the priest who walked by his side with the crucifix and beads, and read to him responses, which repeated correctly.

It was very simple and primitive, yet entirely perfect in its | construction. Two uprights running from the ground sus: tained a transyerse beatn, through which, upon a pulley, | ran the rope with a noose at one eud, the other end being at: | tached toa stake in the perpendicular post. There were two platforms—one at a distance of two aud a half feet from the ground, upon which was placed a handsome pape waitin the body, and one some thirtoen feet from unning back, for about one half the depth afte a ao Caen were two trap doors, opening in middle and swinging towards elther side. e were held together by an upright with a brace. From this ran | & Wap spring: 20 arranged that by pressing upon a board | which extended up some two fect from the lower piat- | form, the upright would fall and the doors swing open. ‘The arrangement was entirely complete. ‘Wallace ascended the stairs to the scaffold with a firm | and unfaltering step, betraying no excitement or hesitancy | whatever. He was accompavied by the priest, Sherif | Hugh R. Cowan and Deputy Sheriff John R. Lytle. As he looked at the rope he again manifested a momentary | excitement, looked at the reverend gentleman imploringly | and worked ‘his head uneasily, as if he already foit | the halter, in anticipation, upon his neck. This wi only exhiition of emotion. While others about him ere trembling with cold, he did not show any nervousness whatever. As the questions were put to him bg the priest, he answered “them firmly and devoutly. When asked’ if he was ready to die, he answered, ‘Yes, but I am sorry for my poor wife."”’ To the question, “Do you forgive the world?” he responded, “Yes; I forgive the world, and leave it all with God Almighty!’ He was evi- dently about to say more, but Father MeDermott stopped him. He then knelt down, kissed the crucifix, and on rising, told his beads. The priest then, shaking hands, whispered something to him, and passed ‘down the stairs and out to the jail, to condoie with Mrs, Wallace. Sheriff Cowan, then stepping up, said, “Listen, Martin Wallace, to the ‘reading of the warrant’ by which T am authorized to proceed to do execution upon your body. The warrant was read by Deputy Sheriff Lytle in a loud, clear voice. Martin was told an opportunity would be given him if be had anything to say, but he did not answer dibly. The Deputy Sheriff put him upon the tr drawing down the noose, placed it upon his neck, with the large knot under the left ear. As it had been the request of Wallace that his neck should not be broken, the rope was not drawn very tight, and he was made to kneel, 50 that he had a falj of less than three feet. After the noose was placed on the neck, he continued to repeat his prayers, and beat his Lreast with his hands, Deputy Lytle went up, shook hands with him, and said, “Mat good-bye.” ‘The prisoner clutched him tightly for an sito detain him, but almost instantly release cap down over his fee and shook fu claiming, “Good-bye, Martin Wall , merey on your soul!” During the four or fl that then elapsed, the prisoner beat his breast rapidly. The Sheriff passed down the stairs, and ashe did so, pressed the little board with his’ foot There was & rumbling sound, a dull crash, and at precisely five minutes after twelve Martin Wallace hung suspended in the air. The neck was not broken, but death resulted from strangulation. The contortions of the body were not painful. It swayed to and fro for eight or ten Seconds, then the shoulders shrugged two or three times, then the legs were drawn up twice, then there ashivering of the entire frame, and the ‘just penaity the law was exacted; the man who @ few {short minu before was so full of life and strength bad ceased to exis Dr. Charles. Allen, a physician, of Salem, marked the propress of the case. At eleven and a half’ minutes after the fali, the pulse ceased to beat; at fourteen minutes muscular action became imperceptible; at sixteen minntes and a half life was pronounced xtinct. The body was allowed to remain suspended, however, until twenty minutes of one, when it was taken down and placed in the coffin. ‘The appearance of the face, when the cap was re- moved, showed what terrible mental agonies it had con- ceaied.” It was awful to look at. ______PERSONAL.
