Hunter, white, eommitted.on the 24th of October, 1870, near the Big Bend Tunnel, on the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail- voad, ip this county. ‘rhé extension of this great enterprise from its present terminus at the White Sulphur Springs, rough the entire State of West Virgmia to the nto nver, has necessarily brought here in the line ef its works an immense nomber of workmen of mi classes and colors, among whom are a great many disreputable and desperate characters. These, unwilling to tol! long im the great tunnels and on the heavy embankments, like their fellow laborers, are soon discuarged mh @ penni- tess condition, and then they either turn gamblers, thieves or bighway robbers, and often marder- era, & obtain a miserable subsistence. So numerous 4s this class that a leading contractor, who had en- @ured all the periis and vicissttudes of the building of the Northern Pacific Ratiroad, declared that itfe is not near as safe here as it was in the far West. The country 18 literaily infested with gaugs of for- eign gaublers and thieves of the lowest order and : NATIVE HIGHWAY ROBBERS Who would murder a man suspected of being the possessor of as small a sum as five dollars, Nor are these criminal proclivities confined exclusively to the white race. Negroes, numbers of whom gradu- ated in some State penitentiary, successfully com- pete with the white scounarels m deeds of lawless ness, outrage and desperation, and, tndeed, so far, it is conceded they pave carried off the palm as | highway robbers and assassins. Notorious among them was the wretch that to-day paid the terrible penaity of his crimes with bis life, for 1t is now es- Jablinhed thar the unfortunate Mr. Hunter was not ‘the only victim that came to an unumely end by his hand. | GEORGE H. TUNTER, the murdered man, came of a most respectable Jamuy in Albemarle county, Virginia. He was twenty-eight years of age, and at the time of tne a@seassination was a coniractor’s clerk, near tne Big Bend tunnel, about forty miles west of the White Salphar Springs, on the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail- road. ‘he murderer, WILLIAM JOIINSON, ‘Was a jet black negro, not over twenty-two years of age, five feet eight inches in height, of stout build, ‘with rather @ pleasing countenance and a native of Lonisa county, Virginia, whose general cnaracter for the past two years has been exceedingly bad. Jhe was recognized by his associates as a gambler, swindler and processional thief, too lazy to worl and who obtained a living among ms sable prethren | by bis wits. On the evening of the 24th of October, i870, Mr. Hunter, with a view of improving his fortunes, bad sesuied up with ms Cop dete and had been paid up du fall all ihe money due hua, amounting to eignhty- five doifars. Lis intention of Jeaving the works was known only to a few persons at ilrst; but when Hunter was pail o:f it soun spread rapidly, and vy night it was common talk among the laborers, whtte | and black. On this tatal evening Hunter walked from his quarters at the works to the store at the Big Bend tunnel, about a mile distant. He remained there but a shor’ time necessary to Make KuMe Crivial purebases, and between SUNDOWN AND DARK he again started on Is return to his quarters, AS be trudged atong leisurely it grew darker and @arker, until at length the mantle of night, relieved only by patcnes of white mountain mist, covered | his enuire and limited horizon. Though there wore many persons passing and repassing from various portions of the works to the Big Bend siore, it as atrange that Hunter was seen by one white man only on his way home that night. Apout midway between the store and Hunter's quarters was a DOREY UNCOVERED CULVERT, Gfteen feet wile and ten feet deep, paved with Bbarp stones at the bottom, and across whitch was | laid a narrow plank, which served as a footpath for pedestrians. Steadily pursuing his way in the dark- ness Hanter was met by the negro, William Jonn- Por ered distance irom the culvert. They passed each other, and m an instant johnson conceived, ‘with devilish ingenutty, the Idea of MUKDER AND ROBUERY, | that is all the: } aud f withdrew and left hin | exécutions. as he knew that Hunter had been paid off, had a considerable amount of woney on his person, and Was about to ieave the works. Losing no time he at once proceeded to put nis PB into exe cution. He picked up a Jarge billet of wood, retraced his steps, and stealthily pursued Nis unsns- Pecing, victin. He soon gained upon him, and en crept nvisetessly up Lelund him, aud when suf Helently near for bis murderous purpose he gave Hunter ONE TRERIFIO BLOW ‘on the right side of the head, trom behind, which Instantly felled him to the ground, as a tree would fall by the woodtoun’s axe, Not satisfied thot death Would result from that Diow, the assassin then took a@sull more effective instrument—a hatchet—and strack bis victim with tts blunt edge on the left temple, mficung a most fearful gadh, which lett him to all appearances a lifeiess corpse. As quickly as possible the murdered man was wen PLUNDERED and robbed of all the money and valauabies he pos- sessed, amounting to eighty-five dollars, a golt ring, sliver watch and other articles of more or less intrinsic worth. Then with thay devilish cnnming peculiar to nearly every murderer, to insure satiety. and which jwis them into temporary security from detection, the murderer Johnson ani accomplices, 1 te had any, then carried the body of Hunter pearly to the cage of the cuivert and there left it. . ‘This was done to produce the impression that Hun- ter had falizn into the culvert, had seriousiy hort or killed himself, and crawled to where he was then talc betore dying. Next morning the body of Hun- ter Was discovered at (his spot by a small negro boy, who at once ran back in terror aud reported it to the managers of the works. Without loss of time Uiey repaired to the scene of the tragedy where a MOST FEARFUL AND GHASTLY Spectacle met their gaze. Covered and bedanbed over with the red slush and inud through which it bad been dragged the night previous, lay the pody of George H. unter, stretched upon twe graded railroad track, on its back, cold and nearly stuf and stark. arcely percepiidle smovement of the chest indicated that the murdered man was still Hreathing, but be was beyond all power of homan eid, and was totally incapable of utterance. ‘The skull was crashed iu behind at the right side, the Jett temple waa indented with a gash of some sharp deadiy weapon, and the black clotted gore displayed ituelf in places throngh the red mud by Which it was almost effectually © ed. In leas than an hour from tbe discovery of the vody life nad ebved away aud the soul of George H. Hunter, with- out the ba ogee? premonition, had been ushered inte eteraity. It was a cold-blooded and terrible crime, end the excitement created among the workmen upon its discovery became tutense. Threats of sum- mary vengesnoe Wore freely given utverance to if tie murderer could be discovered, as Huuter had been universally respected among them, Amid all this excitement JOHNSON DIRAPPRARKD, but as be was a micratory character, having no regular employment, this alight clroumstance passed unobserved. fle walked the entire day and reached Lewisburg, in this county, @ distance of thirty Billes, near midnight, where, seeing a clerk go into a pre, he hailed im and said he wished to buy soine aries Tue clerk expressed his willingness to sell (i both weit into the store, where he disposed of mrticles amounting in valne to $9 60 to Johnson.

On a declivity of the mountain merging into the gorge stood the scaffold, the earth making the hypothenuse of a right angled Imiangle with the plati and main uprights.

AMONG THE PROPLE here the execution had no interest whatever, as both the mwurdered man and the murderer came from a considerable distance In a neighboring State, and both Were utter strangers. Notwithstanding this, however, there was an immense crowd present. By nine A. M. people came ttironging into town froin every direction, mostly on horseback, but a great many on foot. All the tences«and available trees In town were jined and horses and velucles of every discription filled the streets. An tmpression revatied, toa limited extent, that the negroes at ig Bend Tunnel would make an attempt to rescue Buck, but the more sensible people never gave it the slightest credence, In order to be ready for any ency (iat might arise, Sherif!

THE PRELIMINARIES POR THE TRAGIC EVENT were well niga compieved, and tie Sheriff, accom- panied by two deputies, proceeded to the cell of the condemned man to pinion him, His shackles were stricken of und tis arms were ted behind him. Then there was a parade in front of the jai, in which Lieutenant Patrick Caranaugh, late of the Stonewail brigade, put his novel command through sundry military evolutions in a& most creditable in a few moments the condemned man it irom the jail, supported by the Sheriut Tuy Muskets, When these were ain thoroughfares of the town at and a depuly. throng around around the jail yard was imnense. Buck was conductea to a Wagon, in Which he was he and he took A SEAT ON HIS COFFIN. ‘The piazzas of all the surrounding houses were filled Wun female spectators, and from one, occu- ied excinsively by colored women, there came und of weeping and wailing which aifected the most hardened hearts present, At the command of the Sneriff, the wagon with its death freight moved forward, surrounded and,followed by the guara and asurging crowd of about one thonsand persons, male and female. This procession moved solemnly forward on its way wo the gallows, over a rugged road, and persons, Irrespective of sex, were elbowed. about in a manner tnat Indi d it Was every man for himself, Conspicuous above all was tne con- demned man inthe wagon. He smiled and appeared eheerfal until THE MACHINE OF pRATH came in sight. ‘hea be appeared solemn and thoughtful, and he viewed it with ioatense interest. Arrived there, he ascended the xcaf- fold Ormiy and took # seat on a chair, the only one to be keen. ‘The condemned man was then asked by the Sheriff if he had bean BY way, as then Was a fitting opportuntty, over aioe persous betng present. He became visibly at . and in a few minutes cried pitifully. This so affected the wo- men on the adjacent knolls that a general crying acene followed. BUCK’S ADDRESS, Buck then stood w she maltitnde. He fad ce wae twetve hours, and he would heya kag hak ie stil be alive. — x . At the conclusion of this remarkable speech a colored preacner, assisted by a number of men, sang a hymn, after which sheriff McMann told the eruninal to stand up, and he adjusted the fatal Noose. The condemned man trembled and shook violently, Ip the crowd the excitement at this junc- ture was intense. The black cap was then pulled over the features of Buck Johnson, forever shutting out the beantinl ana gorious light of heaven. At @ quarter past twelve P. M. THE DROP FELL. Tn the fall the body struck the edge of the scatoid and a finger thas was promment had the skin scratched of 1%. With the fall there was a wild © followed by the weeping and shrieking of a number of women close by. The body heaved convuisively for a few moments and tne lower limbs were drawn up three times in succession. After this the commotion in the crowd ceased. Pulsation was over in seven minutes, ang life was declared extinct in ten minutes, Afier hanging thirty min. tes the body was cut down. ‘The neck Was broken, ‘The body was consigned to the coin aiveady prepared for It.

THE APACHE WAR IN ARIZONA, Letter from Hon. Sylvester Maury. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD Sir—The following appears in to-day’s Assoctated Press telegrams:— THY INDIAN WAR IN ARIZONA—LIBUTENANT W. B, CUSHING AND ONE SOLDIER KILLED, SAN FRANCISCO, May 14, 1871. On the 5th inst. Lieutenant W. B. Ousning, with twenty men of the Third cavalry, were routed by Cavnies, a noted Apache chief, with 150 warriors, at Whitestone Mountain, southeast of the Tacson. Cushing and one soldier were killed. The remainder re compelled to retreat to Camp Crittenden. Captains Lanwood and Moore, with forty men each, gave pursuit to the savages, who are committing Namerous murders. By this time the people of the United States must have had a surfeit of Apache atrocities in Arizona, while English, French and Russian oMvers and people have come to regard these nnwhipped hor- rors as an evidence of the inabllity of this govern- ment to protect Its frontiers, The English whip into submission thelr recalcitrant East Indian poulation, the Freneh the Algerian hordes, the Russians the mountaineers of Caucasus and the tribes border- ing on india. ‘Tbe United States permits its most important territory to be overrun by a small wuibe of Indians, who have rejected —_ kindnes: religion and — civilization for unree hundred years, It permits the people to be slaughtered, burned at the stake: women to be violated, the territory to be depopulaied and its mails to be scattered from the iio ( Colorado, More than that, it establishes a reserva. tion where every Indian can stay as long as he pleases in safety, sally forth on his errand of rapine and murder and return to eujoy his booty in safety under the fag of the Union, [tis all-powerful aod beneficent government sends a young man, like my dead friend, Cushing+-poor, dear fellow, a man the army could not afford to lose—with twenty meo, to fight the bravest, willest Indian chief on the Continent, Cachies, with 150 warriors In- trenched tn a mountain range, every foot of which 18 as familiar to the Apache as your own door step istoyou.

FIFTH DAY'S PROCEEDINGS, Enownothing Jurymen Wanted—The New Panel of Two Hundred Exhausted and the Right Man Not Yet Found—A New Panel of Three Hundred and Fifty Crdered. A week has been virtually oceupied in the pre- liminaries of the Foster trial and a jury has not yet been sworn. Yesterday morning there was wanting one juror to complete the twelve, and anew panel of 200 was called over, but the court ad- journed without gaining that desirable gentleman, Another panel of 250 was ordered by Jadge Cardozo, and the court adjourned jast evening unui Monday morning. Foster took his seat beside his counsel precisely at hal-past ten o’viock, None bat summoned Jurors and those connected with the business of the court were allowed to enter. Tio of the gentle- men who had been subpcenned brought ladies with them, who were anxious to see the prisoner and the proceedings, and their presence gave a little liveli- ness to @ scene that was otherwise very ordinary and dull. The new panel was brought in by Mr. Joel Stevens, the Under Sheriff, and the ballots were placed im the box, A few turns of the wheel suitictently mixed them to satisfy the clerk, and the names of the summoned jurors were called. Mr. Luther Y. Diller, a druggist, 423 Fourth avenue, was the first gentleman who passed beyond the ordinary preliminary questions; there seemed a probability that he might suit, when it was elicited by ex-Judge Stuart that he believed that the crime was murder and that Foster did it, This was @ dis- qualification, and he was set aside. A long, weary list was then called over, all the gentiemen answering to their names in that lst proving to be unsuitable, Imasinuch as taey had an opinion on the case. MR. EDWIN H. BOUGHTON, clerk, 340 Third avenue, had not formed any opinion. He had heard it talked about, and satd it was @ das- tardly affair. He thought no opinion could ve be formed except on sworn testimony. He felt that the impression conveyed on his mind by what he had heard was tndignation, ona did not amount to much beyond that. That wasfthe feeling he at pre- gent had towards the man who killed Mr. Putnam, whoever he was, He had no conscientious scrupies in tinding a verdict of guilty where the sentence would be punishment of arath. Judge Cardozo found that the principal challenge Was not well founded. ’ Mr, Bougiiton was examined again by ex-Judge Stuart, on the challenge by jurors, and said that the impression that was upon his mind would not con- trol lus judgment. He should require evidence be- fore he had an opinion. He did bot know what was the character of the crime or the degree of its cri inality. In reply to the District Attorney he said he had No pias eiuer for or against the prisoner and had no rejationship with the prisonez’s or Mr. Put- nam’s friends, He ceriainly knew of nothing that would prevent him giving w lair verdict if ne were selected as a juror, Before he was refer triers Mr. Bartlett and Mr, Assistant Distr ney Fellows addressed the two triers, and Stuart and District Attorney Garvin ut the law. The triers, after a short consultation, re- jeeted Mr. Boughton, Another bundle of ballots Was exhausted, aud the monotony of hearing sub- stantially the stious and the sanie answe: was becoming wearisome, when the proc ings were temporarily enlivened by the cleeriul re- sponse ol a gentieman of the name of MR, STEPHEN ENGLISH, This gentioman was an editor. In reply to mqui- ries of cx-Judge Stuart he .eplied, in rather a jaunty, pleasant manner, that woke up everybody from his lassitude, that b ad formed no opinion at alt about the death of Mr. Putnam.
