For sum several years we rebs, so-called, but now late of said county deceased, hav been tryin raity hard to do sumthin. We didn't quite do it, and now its very painful, I assure. you, to dry up all of a sudden and make out like we wasn't thar. My friend, I want to say sumthin. I sup pose there is no law again thinkin, but think in dont help me. It dont let down my ?her mometcr. I must explode myself generally so as to feel batter. You see i'm trying to harmonize. I'm tryin to soften down my feelina. I'm endeavoriu to subjugate myself to the level ol' surroundin circumstances, so-called. But I can't.tio it until I am allowed to say sumthin, I want to quarrel with sum body and then make friends.

Is every man what kan write : . a paragraf ta consider us as bars in a cage, - and be always a jobbin at ns to hear us growl ? i Now yoi see, my friend, that's what's dishar monious, and do you jest tell em, one and all. e pl uibus unum, so called, that if they drut atop it at once or turn us loose to say what we please, why wo rebs, bO-calkd, have unani mously and jointly and severally resolved to -to-to--think very hard of it-if not harder. Thats the way to talk it. I aint a gwine to commit myself. I know when to put on the brakers. I aint agwine to say ell I think like Mr. Etheridge, or Mr. Adderiy, no called. Nary time. No, snr. But I'll jest tell you Artemus, and you may tell it to. your show : If we aint allowed to express our sentiments, we can take it ont in kalin ; and hatin runs heavy in my family, shure.

So it-goes, Arte mus, and to my miad, if the whole thing was ! stewed down it would make about half a pint ! of humbug. "We had good men, great men, Christian men, who thought we was right, and many of 'cm hare gone to the ucdiskov ered country, and have got ? pardon as is a pardon. Wheo I die, I'm mity wiitin to risk myself under tho shadow of their wings, whether the climate be hot or cold. So mote it be. Selah ! Well, maybe I've said ennfl But I don't fell easy yit. I'm a good Union man, sertin and shure.

Sonneman would delay execution. Criminal as the mau was, he I adherents to his fortune, who were ready spare neither effort nor expense to secure release. Beta were made yesterday at va ons odds, seme as high as four to one, tl Champ Furguson would not be hung. On Wednesday his family wera with bi part of the day. A redeeming feature of t ; guerrilla's character was the intense aflecti he bore his wife and daughter. lu his d meanor towards them all, his ferocious i stincts gave way to a tenderness that w almost womanly. During hts trial, tl greatest deprivation seemed to be the absen of his loved ones. Their comfort and the welfare appeared to be always uppermost ; his mind. Separation from them was a sour? ut constant pain. To bid them farewell wi the greatest trial to his fortitude. Yesterday morning, from eight o'clock ni til he was taken from his cell to the scaffol his family were again with him. His wil sat by his side? with her arms around hi neck, spending vvith him the last hours o earth. But, as we saw him thus, he appeare calmer than most men would have boeu whe; partiug lrom home to go on a distant journey Beyond an unnatural flush on his face, and i trifling droop of the eyes, he looked as w< used to see him in the court room in the dav of bis trial. On reaching the penitentiary early yester day morning, we fouud detachments fron the loth- United States Colored Infantry 01 duty before ihe entrauce, under command o Col. Ennis, with Capt. Levi Patchin as ofli cer of the day, aud Lieutenant W. Evans ai officer of the guard. A large crowd of mei and boy6 were on the ground, seeking entra?e* without passes. Colored sentries were pa cing the walls which surround the yard when the execution, was to take place. Entering the gate we found the hearse, containing a stained poplar coffin, ordered by the Government from Mr. Cornelius, tc receive the remains of Champ Furguson. He had desired for himself a coffin made cf cher ry, and doubtless his wishes would have been complied with in so small a matter, but the other had been til.ed before his wishes were known. Tuc burial case waa not pretending, hut gotten up iu much better style than that usually awarded to criminals. It was removed from the hturse at twenty minutes past ten u'clock, and conveyed to the inner yard, wliere it was deposited in front of the gallows, and the lid removed The gallows was a rude structure, which had been previously used, and was the same as ever, exce?. the introduction of a new cross beam. It was erected on Thursday, and is the common upright gallows, with a platform about eight foet square, containing a drop some four feet square. Up a frontage of six steps the condemned man was to mount to his doora. The rope for IMO on the occasion was a four-strand Manilla hemp, the strength of which had buen previously tested with a two hundred pound weight. At twenty five tniuutes to eleven o'clock, the rope was ad justed to the ring suspended from the center of the cross beam, allowing a fall of some two feet. At twenty minutes past eleven o'clock the prisoner appeared under guard, and mounted the gallo w i, with elbows and hands pinioned, and accompanied by Captain Dykeman, Post Provost Marshal, Col. Shailer, Commandant of the Post, and bis spiritual adviser, Rev. Mr. Bunting, of the First Presbyterian Church. He walked without assistance, apparently without fear, with erect body and steady walk. He-did not seem to shrink back at sight of the scaffold or the coffin, which he passed with outward composure and ascended the steps fronting the gallows, to the platform,, where* he took his position upon the drop, ol: his own accord. Furguson is a powerfully framed man, sb: feet one and a quarter inches high,and weigh ing about ono hundred and sixty pounds. His muscular organization is finally developed and rounded off like a prize fighter's. His physical build, with a large full chest, indica* ted great strength and endurance of body, with very unusual energy of character. He carried himself quite erect, and be was dressed with scrupulous neatness, in black cloth frock coat, with vest and pants of the same material, and black gloves and new gaiters. This neatness ef the prisoner has always been one of bis peculiarities, and was a noticeable feature of his character during his trial. Cul. Shafter then proceeded to read to the prisoner the charges and specifications upon which he was tried! and the sentence of the court as approved by Gen. Stoneman. This occupied about twenty-three minutes. Du ring the reading Furguson seemed quite im patient, as if he thought the proceeding en tirely unnecessary. He looked among the spectators, nodding, recognition to a man in his shirt sleeves, who was surveying the scene from a seat on the top ot the penitentiary, i He also nodded composedly to others in the i crowd. Aa he grew impatient at the reading, he several times turned on bis toes and heels, changed his position, held his head up towards > the sky, aud theu fixed his eyes on the plat - form. Once in a while he nodded or shook his head at the conclusion of the reading of a specification. When the caw of Etan Hud 1 dleston was mentioned, fae said in a firm voice : " I can tell it befter than that." When Col. Shatter read as follcjws : " to all which the accused pleads not guilty," he replied, " But ? don't now." At the conclusion of the reading of the sentence, Col. Shifter remarked to the priso ner: "In accordance with this sentence, I am now going to have you executed." * Fur guson bowed his head, and rejoined : "Very well." Rev. Mr. Bunting then made an ap propriate prayer, at the conclusion of which Furguson bowed profoundly towards the minister, as if interning to thank him, utter ing some inaudible words. He was then asked if he had anything to say before proceeding with the execution. He replied: "Nothing to say particularly at all. No, don't think I have." The noose was here placed around his neck, and thea, for the first time, he displayed signs of emotion. His face flushed to a deep scarlet, the perspiration broke forth profusely from his face, and his lips closed with a convulsive quiver. The re alization of his awful situation seemed to have flashed over his mind in all its fullness, iverpowering his fortitude. Colonel Shatter ?riped the sweat away, and the prisoner grad lally recovered his equanimity. He expressed limself much opposed to having anything ilaced over his eyes when a handkerchief ?vas called for. Then he volunteered the state neut: "I don't know some tbiogs io those 1 ?pecifications, but I don't deny anything I tver done." For a moment or two he seemed 1 o be repressing an impulse to make fuller ! omarks. After a brief pause he added, "I vant to be sent to my family ; I don't want 0 be buried on this soil'." After another lause, he continued, in an excited tone: 1 Don't give me to the doctors ; I don't want 1 0 be cu t up here.-' Colonel Shafter answered : : [ You shan't, Mr. Furguson." A short si?. ' ence followed, when the prisoner again, : poke: "I want to be "put in that thing," 1 jointing to his coffin, " and taken to White 1 ounty, where I can have my family around ae. If I had only ha<rniy way, I wouldn't 1 lave been here. Whenever you are ready, I ; >.m done. My last request is to be sent away vila my wife." 1 The white cap was then drawn over his ace. His last words were : u 0 Lord 1 have aercy on me, I pray thee!" As he uttered the last word, at seventeen aiuutes to twelve o'clock, detective Banville, ' X one blow of a hatchet, severed the rope , rhich sustained the drop, and the body fell J ome two feet with a heavy thub. He died asy, there being no death struggle, as is often be case. Twice, he' slightly shrugged his . boulders, and soon the desperate guerrilla, rhoso crimes, and cruelties had made his J ame a terror," hung?r w|?pan, and the guilty . pirit was ushered into that eternity at whose brcshold thc wicked shrink back aghast, j Vhetuer he entered that new lifearepen ant man is a question between his God alone nd hy m.

The neck was uot broken Ly the fall, but ( he rope had completely imbedded itself in tie front part of thc neck, the knot having ' lipped to the rear. Considerable extravasa ion of blood occurred from the nostrils, as ex tibited o i the cap which covered the head. At twenty-four and a half minutes past wclve the body was cut down. In accordance . vi th the opinions of the attendant surgeons, ( he immediate cause of death was cerebral ^ ipoplexy, from strangulation, the fall not be ng sufficient to break the heck. It is proba rte that ho suffered little or none, for, though 1 fe was not extinct for some time, yet sensa ion ceased the moment the body dropped. The remains were placed in the coffin.'lhe id was screwed down, and the spectators dis icrsed. __ More Vandalism. The following, addressed toa Mobile paper, s one of the incidents in the history of a jureau which is fast becoming one of tlje most notorious and corrupt institutions that aver afflicted a country : MESSRS. EDITORS: I have been receiving letters from medical students in the interior of this State and Mississippi inquiring wheth er the Medical College of* Mobile would be opened this winter. I beg leave to say, through your columns, that it will not open. In explanation, I may state that this insti tution was taken charge of by the Freedmen's Bureau, and appropriated to the purpose of a j negro sc?ool, after the town wa-? taken pos Ree on cf by the United States troops. Moreover, a great number of the most beau-1 titul and costly models, auatomical prepara- ! tions, ?fcc., have been taken cifi by those now ? in possession, and the chemical department, which was unequalled in any school in our country, is occupied by a negro cobbler. It is hoped that tim explanation will be perfectly satisfactory to those ? who feel any interest in a scientific institution which has cost the Sk\te more* than ?100,000, and which, in completeness, is not surpassed by any one of the kind on the continent. J. C. NOTT, M. D. . j This Freedmen's Bureau, apart from its i character as. a speculating, money making j concern, is not only an imposition upon the country, but a curae to the couutry. Its op erations are making it painfully familiar to the people, and the day that witnesses ita dis solution will be a day of general rejoicing. The President knows well that it waa a grand Yankee scheme to further the designs of abo lition speculators in Southern lands, houses, libraries, pianos, jewelry, B?ver-spoons, &c, and we have no doubt that it will ere long receive its quietus.-Metripolitan* Record. * .? ? jg-jrj3' An Arkansas butternut advertises that " any gal what has got a coffee pot and skillet, and who knows how to take care of children," can bear of a situation by apply ing to the " undersigned." Wendell Phillips down on President Johnson. Wendell Phillips delivered a lecture before the Boston people on the 17th inst. The lecture attracted a large and enthusi astic audience. Ita title was " The South Victorious." Mr. Phillips declared that. President Johnson, in his speech to the dele gation that waited upon him from South Ca rolina, and who appealed to him for protec tion against Congress and the harsh spirit of .the Northern States, had ranged himsolf with* the halt converted rebels and made himself three-quarters of a rebel in order that the rebels themselves might be one quarter Union. Major General Banks Mr. Phillipa denounced as' a vagrant mountebank, laden with the eurses of every loyal man in Louisiana and Massachusetts, and yet Massachusetts men ' were going to send him to Congress. Mr. Phillips, in speaking of the endorsement of President Johnson by various republican State conventions, said:-"The republican party does not exist. There is a spectre walking over the country in its shroud, but there is no such party. " It has not existed since the Baltimore Convention, when it was buried in the will of Abraham Lincoln, I deny the existence of any political force en titled the republican party." Gov. Brownlow, while walking the streets of Nashville la.ely, was unceremoniously pushed into the gutter by a couple of negro soldiers. This act would seennto have effected a decided reformation in tho Governor's po litical principles. In a late letter to his pa per-the Knoxville Whig-he says: " As one desiring the welfare of the colored people, they will permit me to say they can't drive the Legislature of Tennessee imo con fering upon thom thc electivo franchise. They can, by the demonstration they are making in this direction, deprive themselves of any such privileges, so far, as Tennessee is con cerned. The Federal Government has no righUo control the suffrage question in Ten nessee. And the great Union party of the nation will have more sense than to attempt to control the question by Congressional leg islation. --? ?

JTh? of fence, or rather outrage, committed : by this individual, was his unwarrantable interfer ence with a civil officer in the discharge 'bf duties, the circumstances of which, briefly stated, are as follows : A negro was,arrested in Bossier parish for horse steading, received a fair and impartial trial, and waa convicted of . the crime by a jury. . Simply because the prisoner was a negro, Chaplain Calaban, Vf ho is connected with the Freedmen's Boreen, put the presiding Judge under arrest. As soon ss the matter came to the know ledge of Governor Wells, be made a demand upon General Canby for the arrest and ?rial pf Calahao, and backed his request with argu ments so powerful as to induce ?n immedi ate compliance on the part of the General. ? special order had bean issued by the latter, stating that Chaplain Thomas Calaban, 4Sth < U. S. C. I., Assistant Superintendent of* Freedmen, at Shreveport, Louisiana, is sus pended from, the exercise bf his official func tions until the charges made against him are 0 investigated. It is true that this does not i accomplish that most desirable result, the abolishing in toto of the Office of the 'Freed? men's Bureau, but it will probably have the effect, of teaching Superintendents in future that their ipse dixit is not the law, and them selves the sole power, in the unfortunate dis. trict in which they may be located. Mr. Con way, the head of the Bureau in Louisiana, is ordered to appoint a substitute for Calaban." The Medical College of Georgia. A few days ago we referred briefly to the re-opening of thia institution upon the first ~ Monday in November next. We feel it, however, to be a duty as well os pleasure, to allude to this valuable college again, to remind our readers of the fact, that for many years it has occupied a prominent position among the scientific establishments of the South, and that now, if ever, our peo ple should show a proper appreciation of its merits. The members of tho Faculty are all men of distinguished attainments.
