The Albany Nows, speaking of the
crop prospect iu that section, bays:
“Since our hint week’s alatemont
phiuteiH have had a splendid oppor
tunity for preparing planting and
ploughing. Pl ight buuny days Imvo
been upon them; and they have not
lost, tlmir opportunity. They have
'put in a little more corn.' and are
still planting tlm grain.”
A pamphlet entitled “A Glance at
Future,” and Haul to have been writ
ten by an Austraiii Archduke, has
created much comment in Anstruiu
military circles. Tlm author consid
ers that a wai between Auntria and
Bussiu will bo inevitable iu ease of
hostilities opening between tlm latter
and Turkey, lie ooiuoiues with the
remark of Gen. FcyedelV, that it will
not he at Constantinople, but at Vicu
na, that tlm Oriental question will be
solved.
A New l'nity Movement,
The Washing'on Nation publishes
an interview of the editor of that
paper with Secretary of the Navy
Thompson, and which, it is alleged
was carefully revised by the Secreta
ry before publication- The interview
had reference to tlm formation of a
new Whig-Ilwpublioun party. Mr.
Thompson expressed tlm opinion that
the country is now in a condition fa
vorable to the adoption of the princi
ples which were tlm platform of the
old Whig party, which party was al
ways for a tariff' tor leveuue, with
discriminating duties protective of
American labor, a liberal system of
public improvements, and a sound
national currency. Ho asserted that
the principle that the Federal Gov
ernment shall control hucIi public im
provements has been firmly tvstablish-
ad. The people of the South are now
iu an impoverished condition, the
people of the North are rich, aud
what is needed is such a system of
public improvements us will bouelit
that section of the country.
Iuih| Words of f lie Doomed Mini
Early this morning the crowd be
gan to iiHfteinble in town from every

streets swarmed with living beings.
It Wns the opinion of Borne of the old-

Home estimated tlm crowd as largo as
0,000, others ns low as four.

About hulf past twelve o'clock, Mr.
Meeks was taken from tlm jail aud
escorted,under a strong gu ird, to tho
gallows, near the Cedar Creek bridge
on Prior Station road. Ho was as
sisted to the platform, and was ho ex

Messrs Huntington and Taylor, ad

Ills LAST WOllDH.
“I stand before you to-day inno
cent of tlm crime which 1ms boon al
leged against me. I raise my bunds
to heaven and protest that the poor
nnin who was killed, was not killed
by mo but by another man, who is
not hero. 1 have no malice in my
heart toward any man, and I freely
forgive my .enemies, for Jesus sake.
1 am prepared to meet my God in
peace. I have said many hard things
but f fuel tlmy have all boon forgiv

more,and ah 1 stand hero ho near the
gruv • I again decline I am innocent
of the dime, f r which I am to suffer
this terrible punishment.” At this
point, Meeks was so overcome) by
emotion and physical oxhuii lion that
lie faint« d. After resting awhile,during
which time Mr. Crane <utno on tho
platform, and Mr. Mucks, turning to
the crowd a iid, “Ladies and gentle
men, I want every ono to haul' mo.
1 forgive this man everything 1 have

By requestor Meeks, Kuv, Mr. An
derson road tlm ffOtli Psalm, after
which the 068th hymn, Methodist
collection, was sung, commencing:
“Thee we adore, E lor mil name,
And humbly owu to tlico
How fovblo is our mortal frame,
What dying woruiu wo arc,"
nunit'lli'« ii'uwu wore requested I«> j<,7,7*
in Alio hymn, which was lined from
tho gallows. Hev. J. E. Jones of tho
Presbyterian elnirhh, thou offered up
a fervent prayer to God in behalf of
the prisoner. 11m seemed much af
fected by those services and at their
close, spoke
1118 l AllEWKI.L WORDS.
“Many persons think I was con
cerned iu the murder of tho Swede
who disappeared so mysteriously.
But I am iuuoccnb of tho charge. I
havo not th. light of him for a year,
and then only when , it was mention
ed to mein uiy cell. I am ucou to
leave this world. 1 leave a wife and
three liltlo children, with no ono to
provide for them. I want you to
look after them, and if you oou them
doing wrong, lead them back to the
right. I want all who will promise
mo to correct them w hen doing wrong
to raise, their hands. (Many hands
wore raised on all sides.) 1 want yon
to help them ill any way you cun. I
beg you let no stain rest ou thmu bo-
cause of this awful punishment which
l must suffer. Whisky has been my
ruin. Whisky brought me here. If
it bad not been for whisky I would
not have been here. I w ish I could
put it out ot the world. I warn you
to abstain from its use, if you would
avoid my fate. 1 have suffered many
things in this world but now 1 am to
go whore there is no sorrow, no
trouble. I wish to meet you all in
heaven. Farewell.
Thou he sat down and seemed per
fectly cool and self-possessed. During
his last speech ho talked much louder
than before, and seemed with much
better spirit.
At twenty minutes to two the sher
iff* placed him on the seat of the trap
door, hound his bauds aud legs, aud
told him his time had aoino. He bid
good bye to tho ministers, sheriff', aud
other friends who stood by him to the
last. Ho requested tho crowd to give
.something to his wife and children,
| and said they might pay it to two
l gentlemen whom lie would name.
A little after twenty minutes to two
I Sheriff Clements cried out “Every
! body look and t ake warning.”
TUK TUA1HDOOR FELL,
| aud without a motion tho prisoner
! passed iuto otdruity.
After ho htidjmng for fifteen min
utes lie wns cut down and bis remains
placed iu tho coffin. Ilia neck wns
not broken by the full, but he died of
strangulation.
It was a terriblo spectacle, and will
live in the minds of those who wit
nessed it as long as thoy live, warning
them of tho fearful consequences
which befall those who take the lives
of their fellow man.

Tampa, (Fla.) Guardian: “Wo
noticed several fields of corn in silk
aud tassel and others in every stage
of growth, from sprouting out of tho
ground to the former condition,—-
Judge J. Aflhly Fortner, of Polk coun
ty, planted a field of corn in De-
comber, which passed through the
cold spell of last winter without inju
ry. This field of corn in a short time
will do t. > gather. There are u niim-
