Soon after the
courier w^is f itmd by some of his friends, ami narrated
th^ particijliirH of the affair, .ie«cribing the man fto mi-
nu'ely, ihiit when subscipieutly arrested, he was known
bevoml a peradventure. He had. for instance, two de-
K> jtive front teeth, was ^ pale-face.l, determined look-
i.’g and .piick spoken person.
A «earch was at once iu..titutcd, but fortunately he
fell iiiio our bauds hy his own foolishness. It is stated
—hut I lio not vouch for this—that this morning the
■•py rodf up to (Jen Jones, who was at the hea.l of his
I '’oliiiiin, an ! sii.l: ••General, I aia the chief courier of
, in .I I- k-on. He .lesires me lo re.piest you to order
■ Voiiv Cf)ln!im to be reversed at onco.” The order was
I of c-oiirsi* given u,,l tiie pretended courier rode away,
lis next e>.pl,>iv was to ride up to the Colonel of one of
lo 20 gallons of '•'i^tments, aud ^ive him the same command he had
given Jone.. The (Colonel was a shrewd officer, how
ever, an l remarked: -I am n.,t in the habit of receiv
ing my orders from (len Jackson ’ ‘ Well sir those
were my orders from bin. to you.” -What cavalry are
you from. The courier hesitated a moment, and said,
‘.rom the Hampton J.egion,” “In whose division and
brigade is that.' aske.l the Colonel. This confused
him still more, and he could only reply, “I .lon’t know
— I have forgotten." lieing then taken into custody
and examined, several papers were foun.l upon his pei--
30U writteu in short hand, and an abbreviated long
han.l, embracing the information he Jiad obtained. A
pair of lieuteniini’s shoulder Htraps were also concealed
in his pocket. These discoveries being made, the man
confos‘!ed that he was a yankee, and belonged to the
n«ou army, but in thd capacity of .an indepenJent
swiiit. He admitte.1 further that he had observed and
reporte.l the movements of our army, but denied having
killijd the courier He claimed that, it was -lone by a
pai ty of Texans with whom he was traveling.
These various facts being conclusive, the eourt martial
by which he was tried had little hesitation in finding
him “guilty,” and sentencing him to be hung. The
execution took place this afternoon, under the direction
of (Jen. Evans, in the presence of his brigade and a
large number of soldiers. The prisoner was mounted
on a horse, his hands tied behind him, and be was
driven beneath a tree. The rope which was littje larger
than an ordinary bed-cord, then being aiju6ted^ he was

Il'ni.John Hril.—A correspondent of the Kich-
mond Whig writes from Home, Deo :—
1 lu* ofily inculcnt relieving this ruonot.jnous
trip was a plea,saiit surprise in lueotiug our vener
able friend, John Uell id Tennessee, vi'ho, driven
from his home by the ruthless invader, has found
a retiugo in the recesses of North Alabama, liis
present place of residence is (Jadsden. There is
a considerable change in the appearance of the
old gentleruan since we last saw him in congre.s-
sional halls at Washington. His step is feeble,
and the hand of care has laid its touch upon his
euuntenanco, not yet furrowing, but still leaving
there its impress of anxiety and sorrow. Though
his framo is somewhat relaxed by the trials that
have come u|>on him in his ago, his voice is still
calm and clear, and he still utters determined re
sistance in his statesmanlike views on the condi
tion of the country. We wer^i glad to meet the
old gentleman, and on our weary march the next
day, often renietubered his -encouraging words,
“Sir, we are free und must be free."
yiiii.h‘e Ikirharity.—In a speech in t>ie House
on Saturday ia.st, Mr. Kussell of Va. said:— *
Some few weeks ago, a gentleman of high char
acter, and of the most respectable connexions, was
captured at his Irome in a portion of the St ite
which I represeut. He was tied to the fence,
and, in the presence of his brother, who was like
wise a captive, and in the presence of two women,
loyal to the South, and whose husbands were serv
ing in the Southern army, they began to shoot at the
man, and a.s if to torture him to the utmost ex
tent, they shot first at his feet, then at his legs,
and it was not until they had tortured him by
lodging eleven balls in his body, that they sent
one to his heart, to relieve him trom sufferings
by death. ®
