M. Soper, one of the Ap- on’« corps of writers, while walking np jj r adway was accosted by n modestly dress ed young man, who cordially grasped his binds, Baying: I am exceedingly glad that yon have ar- d. Of course yon received oor telegram, are here in response to it. I am delight- to see yon, I assure yon. The store is ed for the day bnt yon mnst come aronnd • y in the momiag and we will fix up'mat-, in a very short time, and yon esn return Centneky a richer and a happier man." Cr. Soper here soggested that this might i case of mistaken identity. Impossible," said the young man blandly, ‘ >nr name is Bartow, Henry Barlow of lisville, isn’t it?” fr. Soper politely replied in the negative, the stranger overwhelmed him with apol- es, adding that Mr. Soper's resemblace to r. Bartow" was so remarkable that he uld esteem it a great favor if he might be milted to mention it to the real Mr. Bar- , who was honrly expected on important iness. Therefore, as an aet of kindness, i!d he give him his name? Mr. Soper, pecting something wrong, gave him the ress of G. B. Damon, of Kansas City. LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT. Ir. Soper resumed his walk up Broadway, before he reached his hotel his hand was : :ed by another young gentleman, whose b and manner were such as to inspire con- >nce. • My dear Mr. Damon, how do you do ? is is indeed a pleasant surprise. How did v i leave our good friends in Kansas City ? ten did you arrive, and how long do yon nain ? Where are yon stopping ? ” Mr. Soper “sawit ” at once, and viewing 3 sun which he saw ahead as racier than it which he might find in a theatre, he po- *ly replied that he could not remember lere he had seen tbe yonng gentleman, but it his face was familiar. had been very labored, accompanied by some thing like a compressed snore. Though the breathing ceased at tbe expiration of Are minute*, the pulse still continued to beat At seven minntes he made a alight gasp, which was the last aouad that ever escaped from him. At nine minntes tbe legs were slightly raised. From tbe Elbert on Gazette. At fifteen minutes the pulsations ceased to The news having '-een spread far and near observable at the wrist, that the negro West Tate, convicted of the |. At eighteen minutes slight pulsations oould murder of another negro, would be hnng in Elberton on Friday last, by the peep of dawn the colorod gentry began to enter town, riding all sorts of animals, and driv ing all sorts of vehicles. Beasts of burden bad burdens to bear in truth, as each one was loaded to the utmost capacity. We saw more one-ox buggies on that day than ever ^before' met our gaze. Men riding and men walking, men drunk and men sober, grave and gay, aged and young - all seemed to think the occasion one for a general holiday and jubilee. To the negro, indeed, it seemed that hanging day was one that mast be en joyed, and he fails in bis most positive duty who neglects to look upon one of his species swing from the gibbet into eternity. As we said the crowd commenced coming in early. The stream of negroes continued unabated in volumo until about tbe middle of the day. Tbe crowd of whites was not in- bignihcunt, and many seemed to think it their privilege, as well as duty, to take a drink. These drinks were repeated at intervals, and the result was a natural one—by the time the hour of execution arrived there were many drunken people in town. THE SHERIFF’S GUARD, composed of about sixty armed men, were notified to assemble at the court bouse at ten o’clock, but from pressing duties, tbe Sheriff was unable to form them at that hour, and it was cot until half past eleven that the guard was formed and left the court house for THE JAIL, wbero was produced the condemned mao, who now counted the moments of his life, though in perfect health. Tbe jailer opened the door of bis cell and the prisoner was brought forth. The sheriff commenced binding arms and feet, tying with a rope his elbows behind him, and fastening his ankles so as to allow short steps. Meantime, THE PRISONER looked on apparently unconcerned, his face having a cheerful expression; one, a looker on would think, totally unsuited to the sol emn occasion. lie was free in conversation, greeting every one who spoke to him with a smile and cheering word. When asked if he felt prepared to meet his fate, his reply, expressed with a hearty confidence, was “Yes, thank God l” He seemed to us to be unnaturally cheerful. But few meet death in the ordinary way with so mnch confidence as was displayed by this man, knowing death to be certain and inevitable. The preparations all having been made, and West freed from jail, the jailor told him good-bye, saying he would not go to see him hung. “Uroorl-hve. Mass Jim.” he said. “God bless be observed at the heart. At twenty one minutes every evidence of life was gone. And at thirty-five minutes, or at eighteen past one o’clock, the attending physician hav ing decidred life extinct, the body was low ered. Upon the lowering of the body, two negroes loosed it from the ropes, and hurried away with it It was reported that physicians hid taken it in charge and were TRYING TO RESUSCITATE LIFE. If so the attempt proved unsuccessful, for we saw the body afterward, and death was plainly visible. There was no distortion, however, every feature was as in life, and save the closed eyes and cold body, the sem blance of life was perfect The neck was unbroken, but the marks of the rope were dis tinct What the reasons of tbe man were for step ping from the scaffold, we did not know, and of course cannot now tell. Some surmise that attempts would be made to restore life, and he wished to avoid breaking his neck; others attribute it. to ignorance; wb-le others still contend that it was bis intention to com mit suicide. This act of his, arising from whatever cause, destroyed mnoh sympathy, if it ever existed for him, among his own race. But we imagine there was little sym pathy felt for him by the negroes of the county. Why this was we could not tell, un less it was because they desired to see him hung. When a petition, a low weeks ago, was numerously signed (by whites principally) and sent to tbe Governor in bis behalf, we heard of negroes saying that “every man who signed that petition ought to be hung.” Let us hope, horrible though it be, that his execution will have the effect intended—the effect to deter otheis from the commission of crime. Too much praise cannot be awarded the Sheriff and town Marshal for the excellent or der preserved throughout the day. Wo did not hear of a single arrest, or a case of disor der in any part of the town, though a largo number of drunken men thronged the streets. Self-Sacrifice. Good-bye, Mass Jim,” ho said. “God bless Is it possible, Mr. Damon, that yon do j yon for yonr kindness to me!" As he moved t recollect me ? My name is Hammond.

I am very glad to see yon, Mr. Ham ad, Tery glad,” and he accordingly ex- i led his hand to greet with greater warmth fellow citizen who took such a kindly in- . at in him. : r.

His answer, almost invariably was, “Good-bye; God bless yon!” The Sheriff assisted him in mounting the wagon, wherein was the coffin, on which he rode to the scaffold ; his wife also was, by special permission, allowed to accompany him on this his Last journey in life. At twelve minntes to twelve o’clock tbe wa gon moved eff, aronnd which the guard was formed in hollow square. Soon the wagon reached the foot of THE SCAFFOLD, where the prisoner, again assisted by the Sheriff, dismounted from the wagon and as cended to the platform, when, at 12 o’clock, the sentence of the court was read to him, and he was asked by the Sheriff if he desired to say anything. He answered affirmatively, and the Sheriff informed him that he would have 25 minutes in which to speak. THE SPEECH was of a rambling, disconnected character. He said he knew bis sins had been forgiven. He had faith in the blood of ChrUt, shed for sinner*. He told his colored friends that whenever they were placed in a like condi tion, that the white men were their best friends, and their enemies would l>e found among their own color. If the negroes had had their way he would hare stood on the gal lows long ago. The while people, through their influence in hiB behalf, had kept him un til to day. When first sentenced to be hang, he was badly scared, bnt now he felt that all was right. He understood that same few col ored people signed the petition to Governor, (meaning the petition for commutation of sen tence). He thanked them, though he did not know who they were. He had been told that the colored people were getting np the neces sary things for a frolic. He would tell them that they would see the day when they would frolic in h*U. H* closed his remarks witli a request for his two witnesses, if they were present, to come forward. One of them answered the request and mounted the scaffold, to whom he said : “Jim Martin, if yon said anything in yonr evidence that was not true, I hope God will forgive yon. Good-bye; God bloss you!" The Sheriff then granted permission to his relatives to come forward and bid him fare well. Many availed themselves of tbe oppor tunity, and the scene was quite affecting. Two men carried hi* wife np the steps to shake hands with him for the lost time. His adieu to her was the same as to all others. Up to this lime tbe condemned man main tained the same cheerful indifference to his fate that he exhibited at the jail. Bnt when tbe Sheriff, at thirty-four minutes past twelve, adjusted tbe rope aronnd his n*ck and fas tened the cap over his face, he showed signs of feeling. The Sheriff descended tbe steps, and as he did -ao we conld see the waiting criminal tremble and his knees knock toge ther, betraying considerable agitation. A minister was summoned to pray, when jnst as ha was about to commence his petition to Almighty God in behalf of th* victim, the doomed man, with the words, “I e’pose I might as well get off myself,” STEPPED PBOK THE SCAPIOLD, aad thus attempted to hasten hi* fate. The Sheriff mounted the scaffold hurridly, and with assistance raised the now apparently senseless and lifeless body, whose limbs had no power (nor did he otter e single sound), to the platform, on whieh he laid it, and care- folly adjusted the rope about hie neck. Descending be consulted the minister, and it was thonght best, nnder the circamstances, to dispense with tbe prayer. He then length ened the rope to suit the poeition of the body—which, though it had not bung by the rope a minute, still betrayed no eigns of life—and sprung the trap at forty-three minutes past twelve, and the soul ot this poor, ignorant creators wag launched into eternity. In five nrintites after ths body was swung oft respiration ceased to be observable. Tbe sufferings of the men in the meantime seemed to be severe. The legs were drawn np several times, and be vainly tried to raise hie hands to relieve bis neck from the strangling rope, which, in the peculiar fall of the body bad been displaced, tbe knot being jnst above tbe left jaw bone, and tbe greatest strain being on the right side end back of tbe neck, caus ing the bead to fell back in an unnatural position. Tbe breathing np to this time A MASSACHUSETTS BOY SACBIYTCTNG HIS DIVE IN SACRAMENTO Villl.S TKTINO TO RESCUE HIS BROTHER FROM JAIT. From the Boston Journal. About fifteen years ago a yonug man named Charles Flinn, residing in Lynn, left home and was never heard irem until four or five weeks ago, when his brother received a letter from him from Sacramento, California, stat- iog that he was in trouble, that it was a case of life and death with him, and desiriDg him to come on and see him. The brother started about a month ago to go to California, and there learned that bis brother Charles was in jsil, under the name of Mortimer, on a charge of rnnrder. The sequel is told in a copy of the Sacramento Daily Union of a recent date from whieh we copy; SCALING A WALL. A daring attempt was made at 1:30 o'clock this morning to rescue Charles Mortimer, the murderer ef Mrs. Gibson, from the county jail. The effort was frustrated, and the prin cipal actor killed by the vigilance and deci sion ot Deputy Sheriff Manual L. Cross, who was on dnty nt that honr. On the west side of the jail is an open coart or jail-yard, about eighty feet square, which is surrounded by a brick wall twenty feet high. A man whose name is believed to be Flinn, scaled the wall by means ot a ladder taken from a grocery store in the vicinity. Leaving bis hat and boots on the outside to accomplish this feat, ho placed the ladder on the west side of the wall, in the rear of an nnoccnpied building, where his movements conld not be discovered from the street Having reached the top of the wall he passed to the roof of a shed in the jail yard as a boiler-house, and lowered himself by means of a wire guy attached to the smoke stack, which had extended across it, but which he broke at one end. This mnch was done without alarming the jailer on guard. The main hall of the jail in which the cells are located is connected with the yard by a doorway, which is closed by a hoavy iron cross-bar door on the inside and a wooden door on the outside. The Hon door was closed, but not locked. Deputy Sheriff Cross was on doty inside the jail. When the bell was rung from the door which opens from the court to the open yard on the street, the offi cer, it appears, bad some reason for extreme caution, fearing the possibility of an attempt to rescue the prisoner. Cross unlocked the inner door, and with his revolver pushed the wooden door open quick, but saw no one in the yard. He stepped forward and looked along the wall of the building, bnt saw no one. He then started to go across the yard to the gate, a distance of sixty feet. When about ten feet from the door, he glancod his eye backward and saw a man without a hat and his lace masked with a white handkerchief, advanc ing aronnd the corner of the building. He had covered the officer with a pistol, and commenced some exclamation or sentence which was not understood. Cross instantly wheeled and fired, dropping on his knees at tbe time to dodge the ball of bis adversary. Flinn staggered, but still kept on his feet and moved toward the door as though to gain access to the jail. Cross fired a second shot, which also seemed to take effect. Flinn still kept on his feet and passed into the jsil, running across tbe hall directly to Mortimer's cell, which is about sixty feet from the door. As he reached the cell he grasped at the wicket, but fell and died in a few minntes. The shuts had taken effect in the right side and month. A purse was found on his par son containing $28 80. The principle reason for believing this man is a brother ot Morti mer is that he had several keys on a flat steel ring, sn which was engraved “William J. Flynn, Linn, Maas.” On tbe arm of Morti mer is marked “Charles Flinn” in Indian ink. The deceased has been to sss Mortimer two or three times since bis inoareeration. On his person were fonnd two revolver* and a knife. It has been ascertained to-day that this man has been stopping several days at tbe City Hotel nnder ths name of Williams. The jailers seem to think Flinn bad help out side to aid him in his daring undertaking, and that h* rang tbe bell by reaching the wire in tbe yard. The intention of Flinn was no doubt to sabdn* tbe jailer, then se cure tbe keys with which to release Msiti- mer. Since the above w«a received we have learn ed the following in regard to Flinn; Hebe- longed in Lvnn, bad a good war record, en listed in 1862 in company E, 38th regiment; wsr wounded at the asaanlt on Fort Hudson, in Jane, 1863; was transferred to tbe Veteran Reserve Corps and discharged In 1864, as first Bergeunt. Since he was discharged bo has made a host of friends. He has never been known to commit any crime ot any descrip tion. Ho was doing well in Lynn in business with another brother. Th* daring attempt he made was donbtless actuated by brotherly lovo. BOOTS AND SHOES. H CARPETS, MATTINGS, ETC. S ti. KENDKICKS A SOaNS.
