by his own hand rather than suffer the ignominy of a public execution. A few minutes after eleven o'clock, when it was apparent to Gordon that the execution would certainly take place, notwithstanding his attempt at suicide, he sent for Marshal Murray, and said he had something of a private nature to communicate. The Marshal, with becoming alacrity, repaired to the bedside of the culprit, and asked if anything could be done to alleviate his sufferings Gordon raised himself slowly from hiso his fate. As the fatal moment drew nigh, the excitement of the spectators was only equalled by their sympathy for the condemned. At half past 11 o'clock Judge Dean, one of Gordon's counsel, gained admittance to the prison, and seeking Marshal Murray; informed the latter that Governor Morgan had interceded for the prisoner, and had telegraphed to the President asking for a respite Judge Dean begged that the execution might not come off until the last moment, with the hope of a reprieve be

from Winchester, thus speaks of the Colonel in its issue of the 20th ult: The morning that our troops entered Winchester, at about half-past 8 o'clock, several hours after the infantry and artillery had evacuated the place, Col. Ashby drew his cavalry up in line on one of the principal streets, and there leisurely waited until all strugglers had joined the line. As soon as this was done, he gave the order to march, the Colonel, and Lieutenante Lincoln, (a cousin of the President,) and Murray, (subsequently captured) being the last to leave Ashby was much dejected, and so unwilling was he to leave that when our advance appeared upon the brow of the hill at the north end of the town, he was slowly riding along the street, in sight, and not yet half way through the place. Ashby's regiment is about twelve hundred strong, well armed and well clothed, and all are devotedly attached to their commander, who is a wealthy resident of Fatquier county, and knows not the meaning of the

stand. Again the enemy unmasked two brass presses, which of last drove us, by their vigorous fire, back. But I caused the captured gun to be tipped over, so that the enemy in regaining the ground could not drag it away. The Fifth Ohio and Eighty-Fourth Pennsylvania threw themselves once more with fined bayonets forward, the former losing four times in a few minutes their standard-bearer. Captain Whitcomb at last took the colors up again, and, cheering on his men, fell also.--So, too, Col. Murray, whilst gallantly leading on his Eighty-Fourth regiment. In fact that ground was strewn with dead and wounded. General Tyler lost there his aid, Lieutenant Williamson, of the Twenty-ninth Ohio. I hurried back to bring up the 110th and 14th Indiana by a right oblique movement through the woods, and the enemy, receiving all the combined shock, retired and left us in possession of our dearly bought gun and caissons. United onward we pressed against the enemies, two brasspieces an

ain in Duriss — a Doubtful Customer. The localizer of the New York Times has a "rich item," as he considers it, in the following: On Saturday last Admiral Gregory, of the U. S. navy, presented himself at the office of the U. S. Marshal Murray, accompanied by a tall, well-built, dark-complexioned, somewhat repulsive- featured, but very polite gentleman, whom he introduced to the Marshal as Job C. Rich, who claimed to be a Captain in the Confederate army, and desired a pass into the lano escape from my custody until I had brought the case to the notice of the Government, in order that the facts might be investigated. I therefore surrender him into your hands, Mr. Marshal, and you must do with him as you think proper." Marshal Murray informed the Captain that, under the state of facts as detailed by Admiral Gregory, he would be compelled to detain him as a prisoner until he could communicate with the Government at Washington.
