The York. Evening Poet attributes t,be attempted uiajv-aorj, partially successful, to the decision of Attorney Williams. Tbat paper says “tbe old error tbe de cision of tbe Atto< ney*General serves to perpetuate, and bow frightful a blunder tbat system always must be we Lave ibis latest ev deuce in tbe murder of ihe Mo docs. We venture to say tbat bad these captives been banded over to tbe legal authorities to ubide tneir trial by tbe law, tbe people oi Oregon would Lave oeen content to iwait tbe result. Held by tbe military authorities as prisoners of war, tbe exasperated people, even tbe very women who have been made wid ows, fall upon and kill them wherever they can be found, lent they escape all punishment. For this new crime tbe government is responsible, and to every man, woman and child on tbe slopes of tbe Rocky Mountains tne deed will be justified by the Attorney-General’s de cision.” Tbe Post, in another part of its article, says us “atrocious and cowardly us th s massacre ol the Ylodocs is, it is just such fruit as this tbat tne ‘policy’ ius always borne and will always bear, and it will be strange if the Attorney-General’s decis ion shall not arouse a feeliug in Oregon that there is no help for tbe people, un less t? ey purue tbe red men every where, whom the government handles so gingerly, with tbe red band.” The New Yoik Herald thinks that “ when these things are considered it is not surprising tbat tbe settlers should be very mnoh inclined to take tbe law into their own bands when opportunity oilers. They look upon the captive Mo- docs as a set of inoarnate fiends for whom death is but a mild puuisbment, and forget entirely tbe feelings of those tender-hearted advisers of tbe govern ment who regard the savages only as erring children. Tbe massacre is both lamentable and disgraceful; but tbe re sponsibility for it rests in a great part with tbe government, which pursues such n puerile policy in dealing with In dian mmderers.” The New York 'limes says tbat “In dian treachery has bee a surpassed by white brutality, and CapL lac* can Loll up bis bead and look the world in tbe face again; and tbat, under the circum stances and from tbe Modoc Btand-point, there might be some palliation for the murder of Gen. Canby, but it is impossi ble for any oasuist, savage or civilized, to find an excuse for the massacre of the Modoc prisoners who were being taken to Boyle’s camp.” Tbe treacherous killing of Gen. Canby was well calculated to incense the people of Oregon into retaliation, which, in ad dition to the trouble the savages had given them, provoked them to despera tion. Treachery is to be condemned by all good men, and treachery is a spirit that generally finds retaliation in some shape or other; and as the New York Herald suggests, “ the excited feelings of the s Q ttlers against tbe red-skinned as sassins by those who suffered at their Bands, and the fear, lest false, nay, crim inal philanthropy at Waahington, may succeed in saving Oaptain Jack and his brotner cut-throats from the gallows,” doubtless, bad much to do in determin ing the whites to take the law into their own bands. THE CHOLEUA U NASlIVILLK. The Banner, of Thursday, says it has every assurance tbat the cholera is abat ing. What few new cases that have ap peared since its report of Wednesday, have oeen of a milder type, and yields more readily to treatment. It has no doubt that by Sunday or Monday the disease will almost altogether have dis appeared from the city. Tue Banner further states that there is now notuing in tbe disease that need alaim any one and thinks all those who have gone away horn Nashville, with the misapprehension that Nashville has had an epidemic, may return with safety and resume business. What there has been of the disease has not justified the preoipitate flight of oiti- sens, not the exaggerated reports that have gone abroad. A majority of the physicians are now impressed with tbe belief that the disease is not cholera, and that it arose from malaria, bad eating and bad drinking. The city » n° w in » thorough sanitary condition. 49*At the conclusion of the aidless on Decoration day in Mobile, Ala., a bou quet of flowers, in which the blue and grey were blended, was sent upon the meund, with a oerd inscribed? ‘fh« Mo bile oadeta of the Confederate Army # honor the memory of those who, though their enemies in war, were men, end brave enough to do their duty.

The spitsfnl snd mean spirit in which the above quotation seems to have been writ ten is in no way calculated to restore harmony of feeling between the people of the North snd the Sooth. It is time such noorense from journals of standing and people of position should be dia continued. Before the war, as now, the South con tributed her share towards the payment of governmental expenses. Her great staple of cotton gave more solidity to tbe credit of the government than any other product of the country. She did as much to advauce the general prosper ity of the country as did the North. She paid her pro raUi in defraying all the ex penses of the country, and was therefore equal to tbe other sections in meeting all the claims of the government to the ex tent of her population. If her sons were educated oy the Fed eral Government at the expense of the people, the South paid her proportional part, an I to the extent of the appoint ments she received at either West Point or Annapolis; and when war existed be tween the Slates, her sons naturally be lieved that their allegiance primarily lieloDged to their States, aud acted ac cordingly, for which they are not now to be held responsible. Their re sponsibility is a matter of conscience, and these little flings show a bad spirit in the face of professions of union and amity between the people of the two sections. Hums aigklcww ■ cold blood was committed aa one of the moat public thoiowghfaraa in MM city, in tha open day, right in the pea—bi of hundreds of persons who were qeietiy panning their barinen avocation*.

Bull.—The reception of American singers abroad is one of the evidences of the growth of this country in musical culture. Miss Jeuuie E. Bull, of New York, who some time since went to Milan to complete her studies, has ap peared in opera thiity-five times at Pe- Baro, the birth-place of Rossini, with great success. Her friends and admi rers in this country have just presented her with a handsome Btodart piano, which has been shipped by tbe Italian brig “Nellie” to Genoa. Miss Bull bos a mezzo-soprano voice of rare quality, aud in all respects is fitted to take a high pluce among tbe famous lyric singers of the day. 9 The Carlist, Santa Cruz, pays well for his fame. He has constantly by him a body-guard of forty men. When he sleeps he has always two sentinels ot his body guard near him. He only partakes of food after it has been tasted by eight or ten persons. He never eats bread, but is iu tbe habit of consuming small tuin cakes cooked for him by his own people. Always on his guard, he never iorgets that a price of 10,000 francs is placed on his head, and he distrusts everybody.

Ws learn that Gov. Smith has declined to commute the sentence ct the negro who is to be hang at Albany. He h d given him a reprieve in order to fully consider his ewe; after due deliberation, •is* determined *bat *he law mas: take its course. court that passed sentence on the con demned, ordered tbat the execution should be in private, and that v fe v only wboee duty it was to be present, should witness it. Notwithstanding this order was known te everybody, all manner of devices were resorted to in order to grin either adnut- mitauce within the prison yard, or to ob tain some eligible position from where it might be seen. The officers were strict in the performance of their duty enjoin ed on them, and thereby prevented at least three or four thousand people, both whites nnd blacks, men, womeu and chil dren, from beholding, in wanton carios ity, a spectacle that only tends to debase and deprive the moral feelings of man kind. Tbe precaution taken did not prevent the cruel jests of tbe motley masses, or cause them to be filled with feelings of ewe auu terror, as might have been expt cted tbat the solemn and ter rible occasion would have brought forth. About ten o’clock this reporter gained admittance within the prison, and upon inquiry ascertained that the prisoner, af ter hearing the decision of the Governor refusing to interfere in any manner in h»s behalf, gave himself np almtst to -.omplete dispair. A solemn and im pressive stillness prevailed on every hand. The few who were in the offioe con versed in low tones in monosyllables. Ia one part of the office sat the wife of the doomed man and her eldest sister, dressed in a manner betokening their poverty, weeping in low sobs and tears. In another part stood two little girls, also sisters, who freely shed tears at the gloomy future before them. The picture wan indeed a sad one, and might well awe into oompassion and pity the most hardened and stoic heart. Within the cell, next to the door leading from the offioe on tne left, there the prisoner was confined, in company with his spir itual advisers, Revs. Messrs. Leftwich and Patillo. Low, indistinct utter ances came to the ontside as these faith ful, Christian men ministered and prayed and exhorted the dying man. Occasion ally an outburst of grief—aery for mercy —would fall on the ears of the listener as it was drawn out by anguish of heart when tbat last hope was going away, That the mind of the doomed man was vacillating between hope and fear was clearly evident. Notwithstanding '^ese kind men had, at his request, again visit ed the Governor to gain a little time for him, aud had failed, he, it seemed, could not lolly realize his situation and torn his thoughts from earthly things and give them up wholiy in making prepara tion for that “great beyond.” He would speak of the injustice of his enemies and bewail his situation aa one in which the lates were against him 'and oppression assailing him. His wife and her sisters were admitted into the cell at a quarter Defort eleven, Tbe scene then witnessed was moet heart rending and terrible. She who had so faithfully stood by her husband through good and evil report, shoring bis misery in a greeter degree even tnan he him self seemed to have do^e, now with tot tering footsteps came forward to take hei last parting on earth with tbe men she bod vowed never to forsake. Screams of avony and remorse sounded d ism idly through the prison walls aa aha fell on hie bosom, praying as it were, that her life, too, might be taken. No pen can give an adequate picture of this visit, which continued some three-quarters of an hoar. As the tune for its termina tion drew near, every one present wee deeply moved. While she was with him he oonfemed his waywardness and guilt to her-bet leet she might think that oonfemed the crime for which he mm oonvicted, he took oacaeion to < rook an apprehension, and mid that his doom was bnt the work of his “villainous enemies." Just before the bom of execution rived, toe Bev. Mr. Patillo snn^ the hymn, “Happy day, when Jeans washed my sine away.” The prisoner tried to sing the first few lines, bat broke down. H- prayed earnestly until about twelve o’clock, when he started to shave end dress himtfff. Mr. Patillo then left tne cell, an! O'Neal, being supplied with clean clothes, washed his face and pat on a chan white shirt. Shortly after one o’clock, Mr. Patillo again entered the oell end continued praying with the pris oner end reading to him till the horn designated for his execoticn. Precisely at two o’clock, 8henfi Per kersou, sceompsnrid by hie deputies, Gr»«*n. Anderson. Well* an 1 W sc, wet in to where the prisoner was to bring as follows; “Gentlemen—I know e good many of you. All I have to say is, w hat I nave said before is a fact. I never had any iutenti m to kill Little. After we sold out we had a law suit; you probably know about it I gained the case, and he was di; satisfied. After that I settled np the garnishment and we were friendly. This shows whether it was premeditated or not I have been a long time in jail, and have suffered a great deal. I have been attended by several preachers—Mr. Patillo and Mr. Leftwicb, who have given me good advice. Mr. Patillo has stuck me to the last as you see. I am ready be judged by God for this crime of murder right here as I stand. I am not guilty. Tnere were lies sworn against me. I believe I am prepared to die. I have lived an honest life, made my liv ing by work, principally. I never thought, when I was a boy, that I would be brought to this, and to-day I oughtn’t I believe that if Gov. Smith would give me time, I coaid prove my inno- cenoe, I havqfaa important witness, bat I don’t know where he is now. I suppose it won’t do me any good. I have given np all hope. I am poor man aud that is the reason why I am here. If I had money I could come out cf this. Other men as guilty as I am, are allowed to go free. I have had some friends, a great many, I reckon. When I got into this tronble they lorsook me. As long as I had money I had friends. Now I have no friends; G >d is my only friend.” He then took his seat, having spoken some ten or fifteen minutes, when he al luded to a mistake contained in the Her ald, in reference to his getting out of jail when the other persons escaped. At twenty-five minutes past two o’clock Sheriff Perkerson, assisted by Deputy Green, pinioned his elbows behind him with a snail cord; during the time he asked not to “pull so tight.” He was then shrouded with a white mus lin gown open before, extending down to his feet. He stood trembling and quivering in every muscle, hiB eyes closed and lips slightly moving. During the tying of his legs he looked at his feet with eyes half opened, and appeared to be praying in secret. The noose was then placed around his neck anck drawn tight. He said “wait a minute.” He then spoke as follows: “The last words I have to say is, I am not guilty of this murder. I did not intend to kill Little. I am arraigned here for nothing. What I did was in self-defense. There were three men that attacked me. I thought they were my enemies. I was attending to my own business. I believe God has had mercy on me. I have tried very hard to be forgiven, and I hope to meet some of you. I hope to meet all of you in heaven, if it shall please God to grant it. I don’t know whether you are all Christians or not I hope you are. The white cap was then drawn over his face, when he earnestly prayed ‘Greet God have mercy on me. Save my soul, merciful God. O, God the drop feil, his neck was >roken and his straggle over. His body quivered but a minute, anil five minutes after wards when the doctors examined him, bis heart had almost ceased to beat, it eleven minuses be was pronounced dead After banging about fifteen minutes his body was takeD down and laid out, and tbe ropes taken off of him.
