The execution of Private Jacob Adams^ deser» ter from the Forty-sixth Georgia, took place at the itet Course Monday. • He was shot precisely at retire o’clock. Tne execution, we regret to eay, jrew a very large concourse of spectators. The giHtary arrangements were under the control of rflbePiovos'. Mavaunl, Lieut. Col. Gaillard. The pnuon of Charleston acre under arms,command rf by Lieut. Col. Jeffords, with a detachment from tie Twentieth S. 0. Regiment, Major Boykin com ■tiding; a detachment from the First S. C. Reg- tiffs, Oupt. Ilaguenin commanding; the Charles- ’ t® Battalion, Maj. David Ramsaycommanding; a detachment of Cavalry from Lieut. Col. Jelford’s command, and a detachment of Maj. Alston’s Ar- aUrry, .. • The scene was very solemn and imposing. The ■dominate man was marched into the hollow •quart, the band playing the dead march. Ashe entered the square the musk: of his escort ceased, tad the several bands of the various commands, it the prisoner approached the sides of the square, . tool up the strain successfully. Adams bore himself with.great intrepidity, and , driving at the fatal spot he received the lost con- Motions of religion Jr cm the Rev. Father Leon Fitlion. Than left to himself he knelt upon his cof- So, crossed his arms, and suddenly looking up, look off his hat and threw it very composedly to ,. ihc right. Oo refused to barehisoye bandanged, ud looking at the execution party full in the lace, avffticg the order to fire with apparent perfect ct!mnc-a. The order was given—there was a flash, import, and Adams lay pi ostrate upon tho ground d«d. The Surgeon examined the body and pro nounced if lifeless. The troops breaking by the right, filed past the body. The various commands repaired to tlieir moral quarters and stations, including a large number of stragglers on whom, it is hoped, this •evtre lesson will not be lost. The General Com- Diadcigorderedjthemto be brought on the-gronnd - to receive the warping it gave. These men were • brought under guard by the Charleston Riflemen, (hptain Blake, and it is thought will be returned to their regiments wiser men. The execution was • in twful but necessary infliction of military law, ind we trust we shall not be called upon to record mother.—Charleston Courier, 19th. FROM WEST POINT. We hivorocent intelligence from West Point. Ai we have previously stated, this place is lituated ea the extremity of tho tpngue of land lying between tb» Pamunkev and Mirttaponi rivers, forty miles • from Richmond hy tlio iork River railroad, of which it is tho eastern terminus. About the time of the recent battles on the Rappahannock, th* enemy tinted h-nre a considerable body of men, variously estimated at from ten to fifteen thousand men. This wu doubtless with the design of diverting any rein (oreementa that we might be about to seed to Gen. he*. The Tankers,however, showed no disposition to begin offentive operations from that quarter.— On the contrary, they at once set to'work throwing op.drfensive works. They erected a line" of en trenchments from the Famnnkey to the Jlatt&poni, thereby rendering their position, which cannot be baked, almost impregnable. For some days it bss been, suspected that the enemy has been removing his troops from this local ity. On Sunday, Lieut. Wise,of,the Gen. Wise's ,• brigade, made • reconrioissance of the position from , the New Kent side,and became convinced that they bad evacuated. On the contrary, a cavalry officer wio on the same day reccmnoitered from the east orKidgi Clneen side, reports that the enemy had not evacuated, bnt bad posted his forces in a dense pine forest a mile or two above West Point. What die exact number of the enemy’s force he had no ■terns of estimating, but believes it is nota third as psat as it has been repltti erited. The Lost opinion •enat to lie lhat-a largo force, perhaps fifteen thou- undmen, were at first landed at that point, simply “Jwwyof diversion, bnt that the greater part of , tiara since have been reshippi-d and sent f o Hook- •r. who is knorrti to be in said need of men. f. * Rick. Examiner, RECEPTION OF GEN. JACKSON’S REMAINS • *. AT LEXINGTON. We learn*from the Lynchburg Virginian that the remains of the lamented Jackson, under escort of • rportion ol his staff, thejGovfrnor ol the State, and • committee from Lynchburg, arrived at Lexing- •eaath o’clock on Thursday. They were received ■ tithe boat landing by the corps of cadets, under General H.E. Smith, the prpft ssora of the Institute a large number of citizens, and were escorted, ia solemn procession to the Institute barracks, where ftty were deposited in the old lecture room of the ifoitrioui decoded. The room was just as he had kft it two .years before—save that it was heavily dfaped iu mourning—not having been occupied du ring his absence. Tins ball, which so often echoed ^ voics of the modest anu unknown professor, re- back the laurol-crowned hero, with the ap- ol theyrorld and the benedictions of a nation upen him. It was a touching scene, and *52gBt tears to many eyes, when the body was de- htoiltd juat In front of the favorite chair from which lectures were delivered. Professors, students, r «kor3, ail were deeply moved, by the sad and sol- occasion, and gazed in mate sorrow on the af- tatiug spectacle of the dead hero lying in liis fa* ®i:hr lecture room. Guns were fired every half -'srtinting the d:iy in honor of tbo departed chief- ti.ri and an air of gloom was visible on every face.

THE DEAF AUNT AND DEAF WIFE. I had*an aunt coming to visit me for the first- time since my. marriage, and I don’t know whai evil genius prompted the wickedness which I perpetrated towards my wifo and ®y ancient relation. “ My dear,” said I to my wifo on the day before my aunt’s -arrival, “you know Aunt Mary is coming to-morrow; well, I forgot to mention a rather annoying circumstance with regard to her. She is very deaf: and al though she can hear my voice, to which she is accustomed, in its ordinary tones, yet you will be obliged to speak extremely loud in order to be heard. It will be rather inconvenient, but I know you will do everything in your power to make her agreeable. Mrs. S announced her determination to make herself heard,' if in her power. . I then went to John T , who loves a joke about as well as any person I know o£ and told him to be at the house at 6 P. M., on the following evening, and felt comparatively happy. I went to the railroad depot with a carnage next night, and when I was on my way home with my aunt, I said— “ My dear aunt, there is one rather annoy ing infirmity that Anne (my wile) has, which I forgot to mention before. Sho is very deaij and althou -h sho can hear my voice, to which sho is accustomed, in its ordinary tones, yet you will be obliged to spoak extremely loud in order to be heard. I am very sorry for it.” Aunt Mary, in the goodness of her hear^ protested that she rather liked speaking loud; and to do so would afford her great pleasure. The carriage drove up—voo the steps was tnv wife -in the window was John T- with a lace as utterly solemn as if ho had har ried all his relatives that afternoon. . I banded out my aunt—sho ascended the steps. - _ ... “lam delighted to see you,"•shrieked my wife, and tbo policeman on the opposito-side walk started, and my aunt nearly fell down the steps. “Kiss me, my dear,” bawled my aunt,,and the hall lamp clattered, and the windows shook as if with thff fever and ague. I looked at, the window—John had disappeared. Human na ture could stand it no longer! X poked my head into tho carriage and went into strong convulsions. , r . .a.-. ■ .-.,i.. . When I enterod the parlor my wife was helping Aunt Mary to take off her hat and cap; and there, sat John with his face buried in bis handkerchief. Suddenly, “Did you havo a pleasant jour ney?” went off with my wife like a pistol,’and John nearly jumped to his feet. “Rather dusty,” was the response in a war- hoop, and the conversation continued. The neighbors' for blocks around must have heard it; when I was in the third story of the build - jng I heard every word. In tho course of the evening my aunt took occasion to say to me, “How loud your wife talks I” I told her all doaf persons talked loudly, aqil that my wife being used to me, was not affect ed by the exertion, and that aunt Mary was getting along very nicely with her. Presently my wife said, soltly, “Alf, how very loud your aunt talks.” “Yes,” said I, “all deaf persons do. You’ro getting along with her finely; she bears every word you say.” And I rather think she did/' Elated by their success at being understood, they went at it hammer and tongs, till every thing on the mantle piece clattered again and I was seriously afraid of a crowd collecting in front of the house. »v Bat the end was near. My aunt being of an in vestigating turn of mind, was desirous of finding out whether the exertion of talking so loud was injurious to my wife. So— “Doesn’t talking so loud strain your lungs?” es,id she, in an unearthly whoop, for her voice was not so musical as it was when she was young. “It’s an exertion,” shrieked my wife. “Then, why do you do it?” was the answering ■MK '*7 “Because—because—yon can’t hear if I don’t,” squealed my wife. “What?” said aunt, fairly rivaling a rail road whistle this time. . .. *. j I began to think it time to evacuate the premises; and looking around and seeing John gone, I step ped into the back parlor, and there he lay, fiat on his back with his feet at right angles to his body, rolling from side to side with his face poked into his ribs, and a most agonizing expression of coun tenance, Atnt not uttering a sound. 1 immediate ly and involuntarily assumed a similar attitude,and 1 think from the relative position of our feet and heads, and onr attempts to restrain oar laughter, apoplexy must have inevitably ensued, if a horri ble groan which John gave vent to in his endeavor to suppress his risibility, had not betrayed our hiding place. In rushes my wife and my aunt, who, by tins time comprehended the joke, and such a scolding its I then got I never got bcfore,and I hope never to get again. I know not what the end would have been if John, in his endeavors to appear respectful and and nympathetiCjhad not given vent to such a groan and a lmrre iiiigH, tii,: m 1! gr-’vit" v ' np 3 ct and we screamed in a coi c ■ I know it was v«-i * vn.uig, and ail that to tell such a falsehood,but I think that Mrs. Opie her self would have laughed if site ho hud seen aunt Marv’s oxpraasion when she was informed that her hearing was defective. Took tdk Oath.—Lincoln is very nervous in reference to any movement of the Yankee Amy of tbo Potomac that threatens to leave Washington uncovered, oven for the. very shortest space of time, and thus it vras that he and Ilallcck came down to sde Hooker and dissuade him"from carrying out his plan of crossipjg the Rappahannock. But Hooker was obstinate, and would make n> change in his plans, so Lincoln got gloomy, and Halleck got drunk, and beward helped him, and Abe joined in; and when the news of Hooker’s defeat reached them, they all took the oath again and this time Hooker, although absent in body, was present in spirit, having taken the oath on his own hook. S»says the Wilmington Journal — All citizens and residents in towns or churl exposed to a Yankee raid, should be pro nptiy enrolled, equipped and organized for defense. Cavalry alone is necessar ily weak in a sti nngc country against any determined re sistance, Much can be done to annoy and ob- stuct an invading party of cavalry on a raid, even when it is not possible to capture them.

Parties addicted to correspon dence should cut out and preserve this notice, as a failure to comply .with it in one single par ticular, will consign their correspondence lo oblivion. ^ . OUR LOSSES IN THE BATTLES OF THE RAPPAHANNOCK. . From data furnished us from tho best in formed sources, we aro- enabled to give a fair estimate of our actual losses in the late battles of tho Rappahannock. Tho estimate presents a total of 7,500 in killed, wounded and miss ing, subdivided as follows: Killed, 1,000. Wounded,. 4,900. Prisoners, -. 1,600. Total..*.. ,*V. : ................. 7,500. In the employment of round numbers wc estimate in favor of probable losses not report ed. Tho losses of the enemy are- estimated variously at from ten .to fifteen thousand in killed and wounded. Take either of these figures and add fivo thousand and three hun dred prisoners, actually registered, and the difference of the two estimates will give some idea of how badly the enemy was whipped. Eichmond Enquirer. Yankee Treatment or a Negro.—A prisoner of war captured at Suffolk and just returned from the Federal lines, reports as follows to tho Colum bus Enquirer: At Suffolk,-Norfolk and Fortress Monroe, I saw any number of contrabands. They were huddled together in large gaDgs and guarded. They were employed in throwing up earth works, unloading cars, steamboats, and other work, and were the most miserable looking set I ever saw. The Yan kee soldiers are exceedingly cruel to them, and for the least pretext, will treat them shamefully.— While at Fort ^Norfolk, a negro .brick mason was employed to do some work about the place, and the Yankee prisoners confined therejeaught him, carried him into a large magazine where his cries ■muld not be heard,whipped him,and after flogging bim severely,' white-washed him, and tied a rope to his legs and dragged him over the yard in a state of nudity. There are many other similar cases that might be mentioned, but I am already making this too long.
