hange of the Republican Programs — Warning speech from Senator Trumbull. The Republican party of the United States is beginning to foresee that they will not always be in power, and to prepare to avert the wrath to come. Senator Trumbull, of Illinois, one of the most dangerous members of the party, being, as he is, an Abolitionist on principle, recently addressed a Republican meeting in Chicago, held relative to the suppression of the Times, and said some things very unpalatable to the canai you on every side. I told you I came here to address myself to your reasons and not your passions, and in view of that light I ask you who are being elected Governors of loyal States, who compose a majority of the Legislature of the loyal State of Illinois, and who was recently elected Mayor of her principal and most loyal city, and, in view of these facts, what may the future not have in store? [Cries of "Jenison," "Music," "We don't want to hear you," "You sent a telegram to the President.

The war. Execution of two Confederate officers at spies trial by drum head Court martial — the Coolness with which they meet their death. We have published a brief notice of the execution of Captain Lawrence Williams and Lieutenant W. G. Peter, of General Bragg's army, by the order of Gen. Rosecrans, at Franklin, Tenn., on the 8th instant. They entered the Federal lines dressed in Federal uniforms, with their Confederate caps covered with white flannel havelocks. Captain Williams represented himself to be Colonel Austin, U. S. A., and Lieutenant Peter assumed the character of Major Dunlop, both representing themselves as Inspectors General."They deceived Col. Baird, the commandant of the post, and had gotten three miles on their way to Nashville, when he, suspecting their character, sent a message for them to return, as he wished some further conversation with them. This they politely consented to do, and were thus made prisoners. Gen. Rosecrans was then telegraphed, and

ons in life, and now companions in the grave. I should have stated in another place that the prisoners did not want their punishment delayed; but well knowing the consequences of their acts, even before their trial, asked to have the sentence, be it hanging or shooting, quickly decided and executed. But they deprecated the idea of death by banging, and asked for a commutation of the sentence to shooting. The elder and leader of these unfortunate men was Lawrence Williams, of Georgetown, D. C. He was as fine looking a man as I have ever seen, about six feet high, and perhaps thirty years old. He was a son of Captain Williams, who was killed at the battle of Monterey. He was one of the most intellectual and accomplished men that I have ever known I have never known any one who excelled him as a talker. He was a member of the regular army, with the rank of Captain of cavalry, when the rebellion broke out, and at that time was Aid de-Camp and private secretary to Gen. Winfiel

Storey does every day."] Then go, he said — you are a citizen — and make complaint to the Grand Jury yourself. It is your duty. Brownlow's son. A letter from Shelbyville, Tenn., in the Mobile Advertiser, says: The most daring and dashing of the cavalry leaders on the Yankee side in Middle Tennessee is Colonel Brownlow, son of the notorious and infamous old Parson Brownlow, of Knoxville. He is young, rather handsome, a great dandy and lady's man, and; like his father, a gas-pipe or blow hard of the most terrific description. His Lieutenant-Colonel is Andy Johnson's son--two nice young men for a small tea-party, truly! Though commanding a regiment, Bro

mplishments. He was a first cousin of Gen. Lee, commanding the Confederate army on the Rappahannock. Soon after the war began he was frank enough to inform General Scott that all his sympathies were with the South, as his friends and interests were there, and that he could not fight against them. As he was privy to all of Gen. Scott's plans for the campaign it was not thought proper to turn him loose, hence he was sent to Governor's Island, where he remained three months. After the first Ball Run battle he was allowed to go South, where he joined the Confederate army, and his subsequent history I have not been able to learn much about. He was a while on Gen. Bragg's staff as Chief of Artillery, but at the time of his death was his Inspect or General. When he joined the Confederate army be altered his name, and now signs it thus: "Lawrence W. Orton, Col.

im to keep and wear them. He also presented him his horse, valued at $5,000, and asked him to treat it kindly for his sake. We are all sad over this event. There is a gloom upon every face. Although we are fully satisfied that the mission of these men was to plan our destruction, and that even they recognized their punishment just, according to the accepted rules of war among all nations, still, to see them suffer such a penalty, has filled our garrison with sadness. The Chattanooga (Tenn.) Rebel has the following relative to the history of Capt. Williams: Every reader who knows anything about our army will remember Captain Lawrence Orton Williams. He was at first and Aide-de-camp to Gen. Robert E. Lee; then Aid to Gen. Polk, then Captain of Artillery, under the same General, at Columbus, Ky.; then Chief of Artillery, on Gen. Bragg's staff, and subsequently commander of that General's "Body Guard," and was finally made Colonel of Cavalry, which position in our ser

Watkins, who knows him well, they having belonged to the same regiment of the regular army--2d U. S. cavalry. Col. Watkins, however, did not recognize Col. Orton until after he had made himself known, and now mourns his apostasy and tragic fate. The other victim of this delusive a
