An imperial rescript, bearing the date of the 20th of August, 1854. and the signature of the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, has abol ished forevermore within realms of the whole Austrian empire that terriblechastisement run ning the gauntlet. Terrible it was, indeed a ' cruel and barbarous rennant of those dark and dismal times called the middle ages. I witness ed the last execution of this kind, and record i it for the benefit of those who still cling with j strange fondness even to the worst legacies of i bj-srone centuries On an autumn moruin8.in the year 1851. ! on the Eger river, in Bohemia, was formed urt a large square on the spacious place before the' residence of the comtnandaiu. In the middle ! of the square, drawn np iu hie, stood a com pany of u rifle battalion, to which the delin quent belonged It was unarmed, each private (there were three hundred) being provided with a switch, and placed at a small distance ; from the next man. At the tenth stroke of the ; clocks the drums were beaten, aud amidst a silence deep and oppressive the prisoner was j marched into tho square. I He was as fine-looking a man as ever I had 'set eyes upon tall, powerful, and well formed I His handsome lea tu res, to which a black mous tache gave a bold and martial expression, shoDe forth in the full glow aud vigor of man hood, only they were of a deadly paleness. He was a non-commissioned o nicer and du- ring the lust campaign in Italy, iu 1849 he had distinguished himself in such a manner that his superior officers had ri commended him for pro motion. Austria is more generous than Eng land towards those that shed their blood in hei service, and he would have beeu made a com missioned offirer long since iu spite of his hum ble origin and his poverty if it had not been for a fatal impediment. This impediment was his own passionate tempci ; he was a very choleric man; harsh and brutal towards iiis in feriors, morose and stubborn towards his su periors whenever they deemed it necessary to check or rebuke him. He was hated by the men to the utmost. There was not a private in the whole battalion that had not vowed him revenge. He had never made one friend, nor did he care to have one. Strict iu the per formance of his military service the most min or duties of which he discharged with the ut most exactness he went his own way, reserved solitary. Innumerable were tlie punishments which he had bronght upon the men; for, how ever slight the offence might be, he was sure not to puss it over lu silence. His superior officers respected him for his jiscfcWsts, lti ubility, and JiUV-exac.tit ude, but they did not like him The evident lack of humanity in the man made him an object of doubt rather than of love. Moreover, there was a vague rumor about his having once struck nt his own officer in the midst of a pell-mell caused by a haud-to-haud ei. counter with the cuerny. The report never took a clear shape, the officer having been killed iu the engage ment, and the gossippiugs of a few wounded soldiers having been much too incoherent and contradictory to lead a formal investigation of the matter; besides, it was at the victory of Kovarra. He had greatly distinguished him self, and old Feild Marshal Radesky, had, with his own hands, affiixed the golden medal on his breast. The rumor, however, together with knowledge of his harsh, and violent temper, caused his name to be erased from the list of those that were recommended forhigher promo tion. When this incident was made knuwn to him, he became even more sullen, more cruel than ever; but always, as it was well understood, for the benefit of the service, the slightest demands of which he performed with the same immuta ble strictness us he enforced them to be doue by others. A few weeks previous to the dreadful pun ishment which he had now to undergo he was mounting guard iu the outworks with some twenty or twenty-five men of his own company. It was a chilly, rainy night; and when the sen tries were relieved they were glad to stretch themselves wet as they were upon the floor near the large stove in the middle of the guard room. I he lloor not being very clean, (floors seldom are iu these localities.) and the white uuilorms of the men being wet, it was no won der that the dirt adhered to them with a te nacity that defied all exertion to get it off, when the wearers were roused by this Serjeant to prepare for standing guard once more. The more they tried to rub their clothes clean the more sturdily be lent a helping hand to their eudeavorers bj an application of the sad equip ment of every Austrian non-commiss oncd offi cer the stick. Whilst he was fully at work, cutting away at the men with a powerful arm, the door opened, and the officer ou duty en tered the guard-room. "Attention!" commanded the Serjeant; and, saluting his superior, made the usual report that nothing worth remarking had happened. The officer, a young ensign, fresh from the mili tary school, aud almost a boy, took no notice of this important news, but asked the sergeant in a brisk and somewhat impetuous manner, "What he was again striking the men for?" The sergeant, already much annoyed at this interference, gave a surly aud unwilling answer; and, when the young officer rebuked him, in a severe and perhaps somewhat haughty manner, the violent and passionate man, losing all self control, lifted up his hand against his officer. It was but one fatal moment quick as light ning. The uplifted baud never descended; it was caurht by a dozen powerful arms. He was felled to the ground and disarmed. Half an hour afterwards he louud himself iu irons in the casemates. , Lilting tbe arm against a superior is consid ered a cauital crime. Iu this case it had been ' commit ted whilst both parties were ou duty, i ud the Austrian military laws are the very , i-..t ;.. i.o ..rll to be trifled with. The fol- ' lowing day he was tried by court martial, and i sentenced to be shot. When the sentence was forwarded to the competent authority Tor rati ' ficat ion, it happened to be the superior's until ! versary day; capital punishment was commuted the crimnal had to run the gauntlet, j A cruei act of grace waa this commutation! I Wheu the first sentence had beeu read ovr to him, he had remained cold and impassable; not a muscle of his proud face stirred. He did not fear death: he hud looked it in the face many a time without flinching, and to die in the open air, pierced by a dozen balls a soldier's death what should he care much for that? Bnt when he was informed that he had to run the,' gauntlet twice through his company, after Iiav ing been previously degraded, he trembled for the Grst time in his life. He knew of many a soldier who had run the gauntlet thrice through -aawi( W'tllUIIUII, OIIU IIUK Uvvll tMC I VI OV avr it after all; he knew of some that had even married afterwards, and brought up families of children; he was fully aware that the issue of this terrible torture depended entirely upon tho dispositions of the men.

They had got up a carousal in joy and honor of the coming day . But in the morning they were sober enough v. The drums ceased to beat as soon as the prisoner had ar rived iu the middle of the square; his 'escort fell back. He stood alone near the right wing of the company. There was a dead silence; not a respiration was to be heard from all the thousands gathered on the spot. The com manding officer read the sentence over him for the second time. This done, he exhorted the men, according to custom, to dispense with all feelings of compassion, and to do their duty conformably to the law.

After the first dozen blood came; but never did he utter one single exclamation of pain; never not even with a look did he implore for mercy. An expression of scorn and disdain was deeply set on his face, as pale as death. When he had reached at last the left-wing of the company, his lacerated back presented a frightful appearance.

They faced him right about, he had to make the same way back again. There was one formality connected with this punishment which was a cruel barbarous and shameful mockery; the delinquent had to thank bis executioners for his tortures. When the victim had arrived at the file lead er of the right wing of his company, and tho dreadful execution was over at last, he threw one last, long look, full of contempt, at his tormentors. Then he svasseen staggering like a drunken man towards the commanding officer. His eyes, swollen with blood, beamed with an unnatural brightness, his respitation was short and painful; touching his head with his right hand, in token of the military salute, he said in a voice that came out of llis throat with a rat tling sound, but that was nevertheless distinct ly audible all over the place: "I have to thnnk your honor for this exquisite punishment," aud fell down d-ud.
