Execution of Chomp Ferguson-
Last Hours.
At half pad ten o’clock, on yesterday
corning, wo took our place auionp tho
pcitators—probably about two hundred
-that bad assembled to witness tho exeou-
ionuf CImmp Ferguson. Tho day was
ovely in the extreme, and the warm rays
if the autumn sun mocked with their
icerfulm*- the gloomy preparations go-
s*on before u-. At n quarter past eleven
,•clock the arrangements wore completed,
he death cord hung ominously above the
cutl.ild, ami an opening ol the guards and
i nerreua movement in the crowd told
hat the prisoner was approaching.
Hews.- dre-sed in a suit of plain black,
lb nmis were bound tightly behind him,
>ul his cairiage was erect, linn and elastic,
lad lie been tho experienced orator,
nouoting tho rostrum to address a great
riendly assemblage, his manner, as he
ucended that ladder to eternity, could not
uve been more thoughtfully proud, cool,
iriinprodve. Ills hair was neatly cut,
nd his fiico shaved, but darkened with
he indications of a heavy heard, lie
ookedthe picture of perfect health, and
til well developed form gave evidence of
,man of immense muscular strength and
ibysienl endurance. There was a proud
depression of the lip, and a high scorn
f the eye, which, while fully alive to the
retd toleinniiy of the occasion, showed
«wm determined in death not to holic
is character while living. 11 is whole
ppuranco was suggestive of one
"On whoso oacli Blanco of thought

Thecotlin, draped in white, was placed
ifronl ot the scaffold. The prisoner took
is staii< 1 under tno fatal beam, and the
birRoand specifications were then read,
it clear voice, by Colonel Shaftor. Fer
n-on $ manner during the reading was
lit of haughty inditlerenco. Several
rues ho bowed to a chance acquaintance,
hose upturned face ho recognized in the
rowd. At some of the specifications ho
dded assent, at others he shook n scorn-

Colonel Shaftur replied, “l should

A Fort Laramie (I)akotuh Territory)
correspondent of the Chicago Times de
scribes in detail a series of attacks made
by tho Indians, near Yellowstone river,
upon a number of troops under Colonel
Coles, consisting of his own regiment,
mounted us riflemen, with one section of
artillery, and a battalion of the 12th Mis
souri cavalry. Tho latter seem to have
fallen back several miles, tho Indians be
ing in largo force, and apparently deter
mined to dostroy the command. Tho
writer says:
On the evening of September Ed he was
again attacked by the Indians in great
force, but repulsed and pursued them ten
miles, when he camped on the west bank
of Powder liver, where the engagement
was resumed ut daybreak the next morn
ing, tho Indians commencing tho attack
on tho west side of the camp, hut in every
quarter they were defeated with heavy
loss until eight o’clock in the foronoon,
when they attempted a grand coup </•■
main bv crossing a party of loOO or 2UU0
to tho other side of the liver, where they
made a furious attack on the* river side of
tho camp. One company had nl-end.v
been thrown across, though it Put buck to
tho west bank, which whs held by four
companies of the 2d Missouri light artil
lery, armed with fc>penc«*r's repeating
carbines and Colt's army revolvers, and
advantageously posted in n clump of tim
ber that came up to the wait r’s edge. One
piece ol Artillery wm* hUo brought to hear
on tho crossing. The Indians came dash
ing down from tho Dull' in a confused
mass, yelling like a sot of fiends lot loose
from tho infernal regions, and as the ad
vance entered the river, which was less
than fifty yards wide, our boys opened on
them. ‘ The slaughter was uwlul, but re
treat was impossible, hs those in the rear
wore continually rushing up, pressing tho
advance directly under tho lire, until the
river was literally (lammed with the dead
bodies of the slain. This disunions re
pulse completely demoralized the Indians,
who fled in every di ection. Their lo-s in
this buttle is estimated as high as six hun
dred, while we lost only one man killed,
and Lieut, Kelly and two men wounded.
The advance column of Colonel Sam’l
Walker was attacked a few days later by
three thousund Indians, but the savages
were put fo flight. Tho troops reached
tho fort after a heavy march, exhausted
and destitute of provisions, besides losing
four hundroi horses in a bitter storm of
rain and snow.
Wonderful Natural Objects.
The opening up of llie great country ly
ing west of us lias already hi ought to light
some gigantic works of nature, in com
parison with which Niagara, tho Natural
Bridge and the Mumoth Cave dwindle into
curiosity objects of third-rate importance.
A closer familiarity with the mountain,
valley and plain region stretching towards
the Pacific will develop, in likelihood,still
grander display*. The latest diseovoiy is
that of a lake in the Cascade mountains,
about eighty-flvo miles northern^ of Jack
sonville Oregon. Front the description
wo should suppose this eli-'-l of water oc
cupies the mouth of an extinct volcano.
It is twelvo miles in length by ten in
breadth, and forms, to all appearance, a
regular circle.
In this mountain region has also been
discovered a water-fall of the grandest
proportions. All others, so far known, are
but gentle cascades compared with it. Ll
the accounts are to bo credited—and they
come from several sources, all bearing
marks of intelligence, and the corrobora
tive evidences of consistency and similari
ty in description, measurements mh! de
tails—this natural wonder is without
Hum an Fititor Died,
A San Francisco correspondent fur
nishes this account of u remarkable case
ol coolness and courage. Tho gentleman
alluded to was James Nisbot, of the .*8?in
Francisco Bulletin, who was lost on the
steamship Brother Jonathan,and his body
whs found floating in the ocean sewn
miles from land. When it w<«« taken
aeboro and examined there was found in
the deceased’s vest pocket a will, which
was written after the ship struck the fatal
rock. Contemplating calmly the teirihle
scenes about him, and calculating his
chances for life, he had the cool courage
to make such a disposition of his property
as would be most beneficial to those who
would bo left behind him. The old man
writing a will amid the howling of the
tempest that was lashing the ocean into
foaming billows, and surrounded by
drowning men, women and children wail
ing out their agony to the pitilos winds
and the raging sen, presents a heroic, pic
ture. Here is a copy of the will, ami let
the reader observe with what care it is
written :
At Ska—On Boaud tuk Biiotiiki;*)
Jonathan,
July 20, 18G3, )
In view of death, I hereby appoint my
brother, Tims, Nisbot, at piesont engaged
on the Faeille railroad, near Clipper Gap,
California, my solo executor, with in
structions to wind up my whole estate,
real and personal, and convert the sumo
into cash, with all convenient speed, but
so if* not to sacrifice the same, and to pay
oyer and divide tho same eq tally between
himself and my solo sister, Margaret Nis-
bet, now residing in England; and under
herd hi of the payment of a legacy of
$5900 in gold to Almira Hopkins, wife ot
Casper T. llopkius, insurance agent, San
Franclsco, Cal. And I desire that my
brother, said Thomas Nisbi t, shall not be
asked to give security for bis intromission
with my estate. Jas. Nisiikt.
Tho document was written with a pen
cil,tho writer coolly recollecting that pen
cil marks are less affected l>y water than
ink marks. It was clearly written in Mr.
Nisbot’s hold and steady p«-nmunship.
When ho had concluded the will ho found
that ho lmd yet a littlo time left before
the ship would probably go down, and he
added this brief note to a family in this
city, whore lie lmd boarded for many
years :
My 1)kar Ma—A thousand affection
ate adieus. You spoke of my sailing on
Fridaj*—hangman’s day—and the un
lucky Jonathan. Well, here I am with
(loath before me. My love to you all—-to
Casper, to Belle, Mellioaiul littlo Myra—
kiss her for me. Never forget
Grandpa.
The children familiarly addressed the
old man ms grandpa, ullhough ho was in
no way related to thorn.

Canine Sagacity.—A gentleman, ono
of the survivor* of the ill-fated steamer
Anglo-Saxon, gives tho following narra
tive of tho escape of one of tho boats
through the pilotage of two Newfound
land dogs:
The last time I saw Capt. Burgess, the
commander of tho Anglo-Saxon, ho was
assisting to lower the email boat, iu which
wero embarked twenty-men, one lady
and myself. Wo loft without food, com
pass or sufficient clothing. We were
knocked about in ii log all day, not know
ing whither we wore drifting. Towards
eve, however, wo espied a cliff oil' Bello
Isle, when wo steered for Gape Race, which
we made. Aproaching tho shore, we saw
a man carrying a gun, accompanied by
two largo Newfoundland dogs. Ho evi
dently saw us, and made u “ignal for us to
approach the shore cautiously. Wo fol
lowed his course for sometime, till ho was
hid from us by a largo cliff, which it was
impossible he could descend. Tho two
dogs, howover, soun appeared, descending
this dangerous head-land, und, upon

is to the following oiled: — Don 14 manto-
