By her beauty and her passion, 6he com- pletely bewildered him and held him in absolute control. She was the wil- ^nui.unus ling incentive to the enure:‘she was Companion to whom the remark was “That looks bad,” exclaimed farmer White, with an expressive shake of the head, as he passed a neglected garden and broken down fence, in one of bis daily walks.

The body was placed in a neat coffin and conveyed to her father's house, and will be interred in the Bap tist Church Cemetery. The conduct of Miss Eberhart on'ilic platform was TRULY TOUCHING, and moved those who witnessed it to melting tears. The day that .Susan Eberhart was hung was the saddest ever witnessed in Georgia. A few hours before the execution the heavens seemed to weep at the solemn tragedy that was afiout to be enacted, for the rain descended in torrents and all around was clothed in darkness.— Immediately after the execution the bright suu made its appearance and all nature seemed again to wear their beautiful apparel. From her state ment, which she liad written, she says she did uolhiug ilk THE TERRIBLE TRAOEDY, except being present and handing Spaun the handkerchief when he call ed for it to till his wife's mouth ; that she arose from liar bed, accompanied by him, being held, by the hand, and this was done at his command, through compulsion and lenr. That she beg ged and entreated him not to kill his wife. lie said he would, if he han^ for it in live minutes afterwards, and that lie forced her to do wbat she did, and that he also forced her to go with him. She begged lum in bitter tears to leave her, but he said: “If you don't go I'll pick you up and take you off;” aud all along the journey she begged him to let her go back home. She says she made no such confessions as her captors swore to on the trial ; and if TnE ACTTAL TRUTH had been given in testimony, whatever might have been her punishment, she would not have becu hanged, but con sidering her condition she thought it best that she should suffer death, as she was perfectly prepared to go.— She was executed on the same "al lows and with the same rope that Spann was three weeks ago- Thus ends the carter of a poor, friendless aud unfortunate young woman. What ever her faults may have been, let them sleep with her in the grave. WIIAT GOVERNOR SMITH SAYS. Governor Smith, in nn| interview with a reporter of the Atlanta Herald, thus succinctly gives his ieasona for not commuting the sentence of this unfortunate woman: Governor Smith—I will will give you my reasons with pleasure. I am hot allowed by my oath of office to pay serious attention to petitions of any kind. 1 am not here to weigh sympathy, but to administer justice. While as a man my feelings may often lead me to listen to mercy's pleadings, my duty as a magistrate obliges me to guide my course by facts. I have very carefully investigated all the testimony in the case, and find not a single item that points to a commuta tion of the sentence. Instead of the girl being a tool ot Spann’s, I learn from reliable autliority, the following That Spann was completely under her control, and a perfect slave to her passion and caprices. Therb was DECIDEDLY MORE SEASON FOR THE Pardoning ot* $i*AN2j than of Eber th e intelligent and deliberate r accom plice in the crime, and, as sucb^ must pay her part of the penalty. Reporter—But, Governor, how do you reply to the petition of the major ity of the jury that convicted her? A majority of her convictors assert that they convicted under a misapprehen sion. How do you avoid listening to this? s i Gov. S.—Simply because when they Convicted they were ou oath: when they petitioned they were not — As officers they convietd; as citizens they would pardon. As officers they dealt injustice; as citizens they aould deal in mercy. As a man, 1 might Ign a petition for her pardon; os a iagistrate, I must enforce the law. There is scarcely a petition sent in whieh a majority of the convicting ju ry docs not petition for the pardon of Inc very man they were obliged when under oath to convict Reporter—It will be the first woman ever executed in Georgia, and 1 thought that possibly this fact might have an indirect influence with you. Gov. S.—No* at all. The law al lows me to recognize no difference be tween a man and a woman. Miss Eberliart’s case is a very bad ouc. Spann was very desperately in love with her. She wanted him to marry her. He promised to do so as soon as his wife ‘was out of the way. They concluded to put her out of the way. It was a deliberate, calm and mali cious plot. For two months she knew that Spann intended to kill his wife on the first propitious chauce; and that the reason lor this murder was that he might have perfect freedom in the enjoyment of her charms. With out her lull concurrence the reason lor the murder would have failed. A part iu the villianous programme had even been assigned her. The fact that on two occasions her courage failed her, only intensities the malice with which slie still persisted in the plot, and the cunning with which she kept it secret through days and weeks aud months, until its full accomplish ment. She loved Spaun, and played a desperate game to win. My policy has becu, aud will be, to rigidly en force the law, and hold the dispensa tion ol justice to be the supreme duly of the Executive. Under this determ ination I failed to find a single point on which to predicate a pardon or commutation lor Miss Eberhart. I am extremely sorry that I cannot iu- terpose Executive clemency, but my duty will not permit me to do so. m • ^ The Last Artillery Shot at Ap pomattox—Who Fired it? Richmond, April 12, lbT'.t. To the Editors oj the Richmond Dis patch: Gentlemen: In your issue of this morning 1 notice an interesting lettci Irorn your very intelligent correspond ent “Viator” which contains quo error, and which I ask permission to correct. It is very natural for such mistakes to occur. The “last artilcry shot” was not tired by a battery “stationed iu the yard of Mr. Peers,” but by a Rich mond battery known as “Johnson's Battery,” and once commanded by the late Major Marmadukc Johnson, of this city. On the occasion referred to this battery was commanded by our Sheriff, Captain John W. Wright While waiting for orders to advauce with my artillery ou the morning of the Plh of April. Lieutenant Janies Grattan, also ol ibis city, and who w at that time acting as adjutant to my battalion, returned from the front, anu, with his eyes full of tears, said: "Ma jor, the army cannot advance: can't vou open the way with your artillery.” We had uot been able to haul euough ammunition from the lines tersburg for one hour's active tiring, and for six days neither man nor horse had leceived a single ration from the quartermaster, yet, if any thing was to be attempted, here seem ed lo be the occasion. Riding forward to select a position for ilic artillery, we had gone but a short distance when, to out surprise aud mortification, we found ourselvi in the presence of Generals Gordon and Cuatar, surrounded by a large stall'. A glance told llio story. The firing was still going ou, especially ou the left. So soon as recognized by General Gordon, I was ordered lo cause the tiring to cease. I directed Adjutant Grattan to goto the while I went lo the left, and, ascending a hill, found “Johnston's llattciy,” commanded, as betore stated, by Cap tain Wright, actively engaged, and wlieu the order was given to “cease firing,” the question came from many anxious, trembling lips, “What for? What’s the matter?” The reply sent a paug of anguish to eveiy heart too deep for uttcrauce. With the last deep-toned and defiant sound scut forth by this brave Richmond battery, the great heart of the noble Army ot Northern Virginia had ceased to lieat forever; aud then there “was stillness ot death.” Vs my purpose is to make a correc tion upon my own personal knowledge, I subscribe myself, very rcspecUully. William W. Parker, Late Major of Artillery of C. S. A. addressed. “Neighbor Thompson appears to be running down pretty fast. I can re member when everything around his little place trim and tidy.*’ “He always appeared to be a steady, industrious man ” rejoined the second speaker. “I have a pair of boot?on my feet at this moment of his make, and they have done me good service.” “I have generally employed him for myself and family,” was the reply, “and I must confess ho is a good work man; bat never*l\eless, I believe, I shall step into Jack Smith’s this morn ing, and order a pair of boots, of which I stand in need. I always make it a rule never to patronize those who ap pear to be running behind band.- sv Late New York papers note the progress of the suit of Miss Sadie Wtl- kinson against “Brick” Pomery for breach of promise of marriage. * The faithless lover plead the statute ofliiu- itations, but the United States circuit court has overruled the plea and or dered the defendant to go to trial on the merits ot ihe case. The lady asks S2o.fiOo to heal her damaged heart.— Eufaula Daily Times. Fie, Brick, there should be no li i tat ion to man's love. With the £25,000 claimed, Miss W., will find no trouble in getting up an other engagement. Black Mf Boots. A young man. a stranger, who at tempted to leap upon a ferry-boat on Saturday, fell short and disappeared in the briny deep. He found a life preserver at hand as he rose, and was drawn out He lay like a rag for a while, but finally stood up and looked around. The crowd was ready to do anything for him, and dnaily one oi them asked; “Can we do anything for you?” The roan looked around, shivered, and then gazing at his boot*, he re plied: “Yes; just one thing. I wish you’d get a boy to black nay boots.” There is generally some risk in help ing those who won’t help themselves.” “Very true, as my wile desired me to' see about \ pair of shoes for hor this morning, I will follow your ex ample and call upon Smith. lie is no frieud of mine, however—an idle quarrelsome fellow.” “And yet he seems to he getting ahead in*the world,” answered the far mer. “I am willing to give him a lilt. But I have an errand at the butcher’s. I will not detain you.” At the butchers they met the neigh bor who was the subject of their pre vious conversation. He certainly presented rather a shabby appearance, anti in his choice of meat, there was a regard to economy, which did not escape the observation of farmer While. After passing remarks, the poor shoemaker took las departure, and the butcher opeued his account book with a some what anxious air, iving as be charged the bit of meat— “I believe that it is time that neigh bor Thompson and I came to a settle ment. Short accounts make long friends.” No time to lose I should say,’’ re marked the farmer. Indeed. Have vou heard of any trouble, neighbor White?” “No, i have heard nothing, but a man has the use of his eyes, you know, and I never trust any one with my money, who is evidently going down hill. Quito right, and I will send in my bill this evening. I have delayed oil account of the sickness the jxjor man has had in liis family all winter. I suppose he must have run behind a little, but still I must take care of number one.” “.Speaking of Thompson arc y. observed a bystander, who appeard to take an interest in the conversation. Going down hill is he? I must look out for myself, then. He owes me quite a snug sum for leather. I did intend to give him another month's credit hut on the whole 1 guess the money would be safer in my own pocket.” Here the four worthies separated, each with his mind filled with the af fairs of neighbor Thompson, the pro bability that he was going down hill, and the best way of giviug him push. In another part of the little villa; similar scenes were passing. “I declare,” exclaimed Mrs. Ben nett, the dress maker, to a favorite assistant, as she hastily drew her head from the window, whence she had been gazing on the passers by,” if there, is not Mrs. Thompson, the shoe maker's w s fe, coming up the stairs with a parcel in hand. .She wants me Vo do her work, l suppose, hut I think it would he a venture. Every ouc says they arc running down hill aud it is a chance if I ever get my pay.” “She has always paid us promptly,' was *he reply. “True, but that was iu the days of her prosperty, 1 cannot aiUird to run any risks.” The entrance ol Mrs. Thompson, prevented further conversation. She was evidently surprised at the refusal ot Mrs. Bennett, fo do any work for her, but as great pressure of busiuess was pleaded as au excuse, there was nothing to be said, and she soon took her leave. Another applt. cation proved equally unsuccessful.— It was strange how busy the village dress-makers had suddenly become. Oil the way home the |>oor shoe makers wife met the teacher ol a small school in the neighborhood, where two of her children attended. “Ah, Mrs. Thompson, I am glad to see you,” was the salutation "I was about calling at your house. Would it be convenient lo settle our little ac count this afternoon?’’ “Our account?” was the surprised ply. “Surely the term has uot yet ex pired!” ‘•Only half of it, hut my present de is to collect iny money at that me. It is a plan which many teach ers have adopted of late.” “I was not aware that there had been any ebange iu your rules, and 1 have made arrangements to meet your bill at the usual time. I fear that it ill not be in ray power sooner.” The countenance of the teacher showed great disappointment, and as she passed on iu a different direction, she muttered to herself— “Just a§ I expected. I shall never sec a shilling. Everybody says they arc going down hill. I must' get rid of the children in some way. Perhaps I may get a pair of shoes or two tor payment lor half the quarter if I man age right; but it will uever do to go on in this way.” A little composed by her interview with the teacher, Mrs.'Thompson step ped into a neighboring grocer's shop to purchase some trifling article for family consumption. "I have a little account against you. Will it be convenient for Mr. Thomp son to settle it this evening?" asked the polite shopkeejier as he produced the desired article. "Is it the usual time for settling? was the euprised enquiry. "Well, not exactly, but money is very- tight just now, and I am anxious to get all that is due me. In future 1 in tend to keep short accounts. There is the little bill if you would like to look at it- I will call around this evening. It is a small affair. 1 "^ieven pounds is no small sum to us just now.” thought Mrs. Thompson, as she sadly pursued her way toward money—ouc from the doctor and the other from the dealer in leader from whom I purchased my last stock.— They are both-verv urgent for imme diate payment, although they have been willing to wait a few months until I could make arrangements to meet their claims. But misfortunes never come single, and if a man gets a little bchiad hand, trouble seem to pour in upon him.” “Just so,” replied the wife. “The neighbors throk we are going down hill, and every one is ready to give us a push. Here are two more hills for you—one trom the grocer and the oth- from the teacher.” Reply was prevented by a knock at the door, and the appearance of a lad. “The butcher’s account, as I live,” exclaimed the astonished shoemaker. “What is to be d^ne, Mary? So much money to be paid out and very little coming in; for some of my best cus tomers have left me, although my work has given satisfaction. If I could culy have as much employment ns usual, and the usual credit allowed aie, I could soou satisfy all the claims; but to meet them now is impossible, and the acknowledgement of my in ability would scud us still further ou the downward path.” “We must do our best, and trust in Providence,” was the consoling re marks ol his wife, as a second knock at the door aroused the fear that an other claimant was about to appear. “Well, good folks, I understand the world does not go as well with you as formerly. What is the trouble?” “There need be no trouble,” was the ply, “if men would uot try to add lo the uffiictions which the Almighty secs to be necessary lor us. The winter was a trying one. We met with sick ness aud misfortunes, which we eu- deavored to bear with patience. All would uow go well if those around us were uot determined to push me in the downward path.” “But there lies the difficulty, ftiend Thompsou. This is a selfish world.— Everybody, or atleast a majority, care ily for number one. If they see a poor neighbor going down lull, their first thought is whether it will affect their own iuterest; they care not how goes do the bottom. The only way is to keep up appearauces. Show no signs ofgoiug behindhand, and all will go well with you.” “Very true, uncle Joshua; but how this to be done? Bills whieh I did not expeet to be ealled upon to meet lor the next three months arc pouring upon me. My customers are leav- X me for a more fortunate rival. In short, I am ou the briuk of ruin, and naught but a miracle can save me.” A miracle whieh is very easily wrought then, I imagine, my good friend. What is the amount of your debts which press so heavily upon you and how soon in the common course of events, could you discharge them?” •They do not exceed twenty-five pounds,’* replied the shoemaker; "and with my usual ruu of work I could make all right in three or four months.” will say six,” was the answer ‘T will advance you forty pounds for *Died Poor.* 1 ’ It was a sad funeral to roc,’ said the speaker, ’the saddest 1 have at tended :n many years.’ That of Edmoudsou ?’ •Yes.’ How did he die ?’ Poor—poor as poverty. His life was one long struggle with the world, and at every disadvautage. Fortune mocked him all the while with golden J tromiscs that destined never to know ultillment.’ Yet he was patient and enduring,’ remarked one of the company. ‘Patient as a Christian—cuduring as a inai tyr,’ was answered. ‘Poor man! Ha was worthy of a better fate. He ought to have succeeded, for he de serted success.’ •Did he not succeed?” questioned the one who had spokcu of his pa tience and eudurancc. ‘No, sir. He died poor, just as 1 tve stated. Nothing that he put his hand to succeeded. A strange fatality seemed to attend every enterprise.’ •lfwaswith himjin his last moments,' id the other, ‘and thought he died rich.’ ‘No, he left nothing behind,' was re plied. ‘The heirs will have no con- as to the administration of his estate.’ ‘He left a good name,' said one, ‘and that is something.’ •And a legacy of noble deeds that were done iu the name ofhumauity,’ remarked nuother.

I can not understand it.” Her perplexity was Increased by finding her husband with two bills in his band, and a countenance express ing anxiety and concern. “Look, Mary," he sahl as be enter ed, “Here are two unexpected call* for ■vith t .-ha may gather money, and i *" coping it; but nut uiic conquer bravely in i life,as Edmondson lias coi step forth from the ran Christian hero—rich in and rich iu celestial And his heirs have in the administrations of A large property has \> let them see to it that thr the precious things through faK. mates and ignorant depreciaiu higher things to g; left : nlih tlo in * to abide forove es all behind on i his Affections, dies poo Tin* lial few weeks, and we will see what effect it has upon our worthy neighbors, uo. uever mind lhankiug me.

The advice of uncle Joshua had been strictly follow ed, and the change in the shoemaker's prospects was indeed wonderful, //e was now s)>okcn of as one of the most thriving men in the village, and many marvellous stories were told to accouut for the sudden alteration in his affair*. It was generally agreed that a dis tant relative hah bequeathed to him a legacy, which had relieved him en tirely of his pecuniary difficulties. They had never before realized the beauty and durability of his work. The polite butcher selected the best pieces of meat for his inspection, as he entered and was totally indiflerent as to the time of payment. The teacher accompaniod the children home to tea, and spoke in high terms of their im provement, pronouncing them the best among her scholars. The dressmaker soou found herself free from the great preis of work, and. i n a friendly note expressed her desire to oblige Mrs. Thompson in any way in her power. "Just as I expected,” exclaimed Uti le Joshua, rubbing his hands cxult- ngly, as the grateful shoemaker call ed u|*on him at the expiration of six mouths, with the money which had been loaned in the hour of need. Just as l expected. A strange world! Thoy are ready to, push him down if they find his lace is turned that way. In future, neighbor Thomp- on, let everything around you. as far a you can with honesty, wear au air f pro»i*erity, and you will, with God’s bUssing on your honest endeavor*, be ure to prosper. To secure this end •ou need uot be extravagant, or make >uch a show as will not allow of any thing being put in the savings bank against a rainy day.” And, with a satisfied air, Uncle Joshua placed his money in bis pocket-book, ready to to meet some other claim upon hi* benevolence, while he whom he hail thus befriended, with a cheerful coun tenance returned to hi* happy home.— Brsttish Workman.

The first step will not be such a long one per haps: but carving yocr own way up the mountain, you make each one lead to another, and stand firm in that w hile you chop Hid another ouL Men who made fortunes are not those who bad five thousand dollars given them to start with, but started lair with a well-earned dollar or two. Men who by their exertions acquired fame, have not been thrust into popularity by puffs begged or prayed for, or given in friendly spirit. They have out stretched their hands and touched the public heart. Men who win love do their own wooing, and f never knew a man to fail so signally as one who had induced bis affectionate grand mother to apeak a good word for him. Whether yon work for fame, for love, for money, cr anything else, work with your band*, heart and brain.— Say “1 will ” and some day you will conquer. Never let any man have it to say, “I have dragged you up.” Too many mends hurt a man more none at alL—Grace Grcctucoyd. Saocutnat) Carte. WE HONE. Established 1850.
