Execution.

--The Pensacola Tribune, of the 25th ult., says: ‘"Two notorious characters, Medlock and Etheridge, who, in the capacity of Murrell men, have been infesting the counties adjoining the State line of Alabama and Florida, were on Sunday last, about 10 o'clock, hung by citizens several miles from this city, on the line of the Railroad. Medlock had been confined in jail in Pensacola, several months ago, but escaped. There were about 40 or 50 persons present at the hanging, and we learn that everything was conducted very well. The trap-door was thrown by a negro. The citizens of our county will no doubt be relieved now, that these men are executed."’
