th* State, under the direction of Col H. A. Dowd,
A. Q. M., at Raleigh, to assist in procuring a supply of
WOOL to provide clothing for our North Carolina Sol
diers the coming Fall and Winter, we are authoriied
to exchange Cotton Yarn at the rate of I bundle of 5
lbs. for 3 lbs. of Wool unwashed, but free of sand and
burs. .Any person having Wool to spare can greatly
aid our State authorities in their laudable efforts to sus
tain the cause of our country, and at the same time con
tribute (in many cases) to the comfort of their own
friends and kindred in the army, not by making a do
nation, but receive a full equivalent for their wool. It
is hoped and expected therefore that a prompt response
will be made to this notice, as it is important that the
Wool should go into the hands of the manufacturer at
an early day, to be made ready for wear by the early
Fall. GEO. W. WILLIAMS & CO.

THE EXECUTION AT FRANKLIN
Frankli.v, Te.v.v., June 9, 1803—Last«Teu-
ing two strangers rode into camp and called at
Col. Baird’s headquarters. They had on citizens’
overcoats, Federal regulation pants and caps.
They wore side arms and showed high inteliigonce.
(;>ne claimed to be a Colonel, U. S. A., and called
himself Col. Austin; the other called himseU M^j
Dunlap, both representing themselves Inspector
Generals IJ. S. A. They represented that they
were now out on an expedition in this department,
inspecting the outposts and defences, and that day
before yesterday they had been overhauled by the
enemy and Uwt their coats and purses. They
exhibited oflicial papers from General Koaecrans,
and also I'roin the W’ar Department at Washington,
couiirming the rank and business. Theae were
all right to Col. Itaird, and at first satisfied him
of their honesty. They naked the Col. to loan
them S5U, as they had no coats and no money to
buy them. Col. Baird loaned them the money
and took Col. Austin’s note for it. Just at dark
they started, saying they were going to Nashville,
anti took that way. Just as soon as their horses'
heads were turned the thought of their being spieR
struck Col. Baird, he says, like »thunderbolt, and
ho ordered Col. Watkins CthKy. cavalry, to arrest
them Immediately. But they were going at light
ning speed. Col. Watkins bad no time to call a
guard and only with his orderly he £ct out on the
chase. They were overtaken about one-third of
mile from nere. Col. Watkins told them that
Col. Baird wanted to make some further inquiries
ot them, and asked them to return. This they
politely consented to do, and Col. Watkins led
them to his tent, where he placed a strong guard
over them. It was not until one of them attempt
ed to pass the guard at the door that they even
uspected they were prisoners. Col. Watkins
immediately brought them to Col. Baird under
strong guard. Coi. Baird told them that he should
keep them prisoners until he was fully satisfied
that they were what they purported to be. He
immediately telegraphed to Gen. Kosecrans, and
received the answer that he knew nothing of any
uch men, that there were no such men in his em
ploy, or had his pass.
After this diopatch came to hand, about mid
night, a search of their persona was ordered.
When the Major’s sword was drawn fVom the
scabbard there were found etched upon it these
words: “Lt. W. G. Peter, C. S. A.” At this dis
covery Col. Baird remarked, ‘Gentlemen, you have
played this d—d well.” “Yes,” said Lieut. Peter,
and it came near bein/ a perfect success.” They
then confessed the whole matter, and upon fur
ther search various papers showing their guilt
were found upon their persons.
Col. Baird immediately telegraphed to Gen.
Rosecrans, and received an order “to try them by
a drum head court martial, and if found guilty
hany them imme.dLately.^ The court was convened
and before daylight the case was decided, and
the prisoners informed that they must prepare for
immediate death by hanging.
The prisoners were visited by the chaplain who,
upon their request, administered the sacrament to
them. They also wrote some letters to their
friends, and deposited their jewelry, silver cups,
and other valuables lor transmission to their
friends.
A little after nine o’clock A. M., the whole
garrison was martihalled around the place of exe
cution in folemn sadness. The poplar coffins were
lying a few feet away. Twenty minutes past nine
the guards conducted the prisoners to the scaffold
—they walked firm and steady, as if unmindful of
the fearful precipice which they were approaching.
The guards did them the honor to march with
arms reversed.
Arrived at the place of execution, they stepped
upon the platform of the cart and took their re
spective places. The Provost Marshal tied a
linen handkerchief over the face of each and ad
justed the ropes. They then asked the privilege
of bidding a last farewell, which being granted,
they tenderly embraced each other. This over,
the cart moved from under them, and they hunp'
in the air. The bodies were cut down at thirty
minutes and encofiined in full dress. The Colo*
nel was buried with a gold locket and chain on
his neck. The locket contained the portrwt and
a braid of hair of his intended wife—her portrait
was also in his veat pocket—those were buried
with him at his request. Both men were buried
in the same grave.
The elder and leader of these unfortunate men
was Lawrcnco Williams, of Georgetown, I>.
He was as fine looking a man as I have ever seen,
about six leet high and perhaps thirty years old.
He was a son of Capt. Williams, who was killed
at the battle of Mont«rey. He was ooo ci the
most intellectual and accomplished men that I have
ever known. 1 have never known any one wno
excelled him as a talker. He was a member of
the regular army, with the rank of captain of
cavalry, when the rebellion broke out, and at (hat
time was aid-de-cump and private secretary to
Gen. Winfield Scott. He was-a first .^ousia of
Gen. lice. 8oon after the war began he wm
frank enough to inform Gen. Scott that all his
sympathies were with the South, as his friends
and iiiterests were there, and that he could not
fight against them. As he was privjr’ all of
Gen. Scott’s pluns for the caDipaien, he ^waa
sent to Ctoveruor's It^laad, wfierc he remained
three months. After the first Bull Uun battle
he was allowed to go South, wher« he joined
the Confederate army. was awhile on Gen.
Bracg’s st.nff a.s Chief ot Artillery, but at tho
time of his death his Inspector General
When he joined tb« Confederate army he altered
hisname, and now it tbiw: “Lawrence W.
Orton, Col. } ^
The oth-* of *'his delusive and recklea-
daring Walter G. Peter, a Lieutenant in tho
j.^y,varmy and Col. Orton’s Adjutant. He wa«
.. tall, handsome young man, of about tweqt^fivo
yeans, that gave many signs of educfition anH re
finement. Such wore tho characters und the
men who played the awful tragedy.
History will hardly furnish its parallel in the
character and standing of the parties, the bold
ness and daring of the ontorprise, and tho swift
ness with which discovery and punishment were
visited upon them. They canio into our camp
and went all through it, minutely inspecting ouv
position, works and forces, with a portion ot their
traitorous insignia upon them, and the boldness
of their conduct made their flimsy subterfuge al
most succ««8ful. To the last, however, they de
nied being spies. They dkimed that they were
■eirfeavoring to g«t thrwi^ our linea in order to
