It vvasbv prec.p.tai.on into this, well that so many yt the children were killed, many of them rv sullocaj ion alone. Miss Harrison, one of the teachers of the female department, who had been for soma days indisposed, was seized with H.nung. and a call for water was raised hy some of the children near her The cry lor -.water" seems to have given rise U the idea Jhat something ha.l Mn,h fire, and this, alarm spread so rapidly that before- any pre vein ive measures could be taken, ibfe'tnain body of the scholars rush ed toward the door, and a scene of indes cribable confusion and honor succeeded. . his department was in the third story its elevation from the flagged floor being 30 leet. Jn the rush some children were forced over tbe banister of the stair case, and all-ng upon the flags below, were man gird and instantly killed. The panic spread also through the other departments ol the school, including the male depart ment on the fourth floor, and under this augmented pressure the balustrades from the loot to a point above the second story gave way or were forced out. and the chti dien as they eagerly rushed forward wcie instantly precipitated into the well of the stair case, the uppermost smothering or suilocaling those who lay beneath. Be fore ihe cune'nt could be arrested, tbe well was filled wilh the bodies of childtcn lo the depth of about eight feet. At this juncture the alarm reached the Ninth Ward station iiouse, the fire bell was rung, and a detachment of the police hurried to the scene. Here a new diffi culty presented itself. The afternoon ses sion of the school having commenced, the main outer doors, which open upon the foot of the stairs, had been closed. Against these theaffrighted children were wedged jn masses, and as the doors open inward it was some time before relief could be given them. The police fortunately ef fected an entrance by a rear door, but for 81"jH-d of their clothes and 1 wmcn timely help probabfy many more of tbe children would have been suffocated. Much commendation is due to the teach ers for their presence of mind.

Houses are rent ed as soon as erected, particularly in the immediate proximity of the plank streets. I he mania for dueling seems to have subsided m a great measure, only one af fair of the kind having been attempted since the sailing of the last steamer. The parties were two gentlemen engaged in the Custom House, and a meeting was arranged at Benicia. One of the parties was, however, bound over to keep the peace after the other had left for th nr.. pointed spotso the projected affair did not come off." Tbe final result was, as vve learn, that the gentleman who kept the appointment, inflicted a horsewhip ping upon the party who did not make his appearance at the time and place agreed upon. An unfortunate man, a Scotchman, nam ed Mackintosh, died a day or two since from the effects of drinking four bottles of brandy. His body was lound in a va cant lot, his face having been in a great measure eaten uif by the rats. The body of a Mexican, name.d San Niguel, was discovered lying on the North Beach, a few nights ago, penetrated with no Jess than twenty-six wounds ! When discovered, he was lying in a spot to which he bad been apparently carried, stretched on his back, with a great-coat drawn over his face. Considerable excitement was aroused by the account of his murder, and for some lime conjecture was at fault re garding the manner ol his death. After a careful investigation, it was discovered that he had had a difficulty with another Mexican, named Marcelino, and that they had avowed a determination lo settle it by a personal rencontre. The probability is that they fought wilh daggers, and that San Miguel was overpowered and s)ain. Th wounds, however, showed that the murdered man bad been struck from be hind, the wdu:;ds glancing downward. They were evidently inflicted with a dirk. The store of Mr. J. A.

There was an immense crowd present to witness tbe execution. Before! being swung off. tbe criminal made a short address ol about five minutes. He said -he felt like savin something to satisfy the curiosi.y oftbe spe'eta tors that he had but a few minutes to live that he had been a great sinner and was about to suffer justly, but he was innocent of chokincr hi. wife." Some," he said, "would believe he had told a lie he could not alter their opin ions, and whatever they might think would make but little ditrerence, as it would neither benefit or injure him ihe truth of what he had said would only be known at the judgement bar of Cod, where tbe secrets of all "hearts would be made manifest." He further said, "that he felt he had been regenerated, and would be saved, not from any merit ol his own but through the meditation of our Lord Jesus Christ." After some conversation with the Rev. Mr. Morrison, who attended him at his request, and the Sheriff, he took a glass of wine and a chew of tobacco with tbe utmost indifTer ence, and in a few minutes was launched into eternity ! He met his fate with as much cool ness and equanimity as it he were onlv retiring (o the repose of natural sleep. " We have never before witnessed a public execution, but it has been our lot to stand l.v htbe bed of many, dying from disease, and we ao not recollect ever lo have seen one, saint or sinner, who exhibited s little fear and .n much fortitude in grapplingviih the gri:n mon ster. To hear a man under the gallows, wilh the certainly of being, in a few moments, in the presence of bis God, so positively assorting his innocence and apjiarcnlu with so much confidence trusting to a hope'of future happi ness, cannot but excite in the minds of specia tors a feeling of, doubt as lo his guilt. Such w-as our feeling at the moment but yet all the circumstances proved on the trial, lead irresist ibly to tbe conclusion that Rash either commit, ted the murder or was accessary before the fact, having perhaps, procured it to be done. As we remarked above, this is the first exe cution we ever witnessed, and it slreny. hened the opinion we have long entertained, that such esbibilions have an unhealthy influence on pub lic morality. The mixed multitude of men, women and children, that surrounded the gal lows on this occasion. looked on with as much indifference as they would watch the antics of ;a "dandy jack" in a ring. AnoMo wind up the frolic, many returned to town and got glorious ly fuddled, (just the condition in which to com mit crime.) and, we understand, there was some fihtins. r-v.wu. i it' j ... .. .
