EFXCUTION OF PINTO, The Charleston Mercury in noticing the re cent execution of Pinto in Cuba, remarks: "The bloody execution of the Duke D'Eng hem, by Napoleon's order, and the hartless fate of Marshal Ney, fall below it in black atrocity. The facts are now pretty well ascertained. The auditor of war, whose assent to the sentence of capital punishment is demanded by the' laws of the Island, positively refused to sign the war rant, on the ground that no sufficient case had been made out against Pinto. The chief, if not the sole witness, was a vile wretch, who had been previously condemned for felonies and par. doned, and beame now the tool of the Captain General, in his bloody purpose, against his for mier friend and Secret.ry. The refusal of the Auditor of War scemed only to have incited Concha the more, and contrary to all law, pre cedent or humanity, he instituted an arbitrary court of four, which should revine and overrule this decission. But, so tlagrant was the wrong, that even this court were equally divided, whetn Concha, bent on the life of his victim, and in censed at the protection which law and mercy threw around him, decided hituself the question, and ordered Pinto's execution in twenty hours. He met his fate calmly and bravely, protesting his innocence with his dying breath. Such are briefly the facts of this foul murder. It is asserted, and not without plausiblejusti fication, that Pinto, in his rel.ttions as secretary of Concha, was possessed of evidetice going to show that Concha himself had meditated trea son agpinst, the Spanish Government, land the establishment of a dictatorship over Cuba. To Concha's guilty soul he was therefore a contin ual dread. Hence the resort to such proceed ings against him, and the fiendish malignity with which lie persued him to his death. He was determined to rid himself of the witness to his crime at all hazards, and without regard to law or right. It is not for us to intermeddle with the deal. ings of other Governments with their subjects. till less do we advertise ourselves as the cliam pions of the oppressed in all quarters of the globe. It is enough if we protect our own soil from tyranny and cruelty. But there are acts which strike a chord of common sympathy-acts so luminous in their enormity, and their outrage upon humanity, that we would indeed be un worthy of the name of tmen, if we passed them by unnoticed. Such was the murder of Man. uel Pinto. And a people among whom such things can be done, cpenly and with impunity, are entitled to the sympathy of every brave and generous heart. It is unfortunate for Spain, that her officia: dares so to act, it this time, when all over the country the fate of Cuba is regarded with still deepening interest-when the Government is compelled to practice the sternest vigilance to prevent the attempts of bold adventurers--when our relations with Spaini in regard to this very Islan~d-have become angry and threatening-at such a time, a fact like this is well calcutlated to sever the thread which sus pendis the sword. The best and soberest may bc unable to repress their indignation ; and thus by the promptintgs of a common nature, give eneouragemenit to the enterprise. THE BRITISH IN~ TH E IEA. One of the witnesses, a ship-master, examined before the Roebuck Committee, gave the lollow inig testimony regarding his observations and in. formation obtained in the Crimea: "When I was there I was told of Lord Cardi gatn's horse force-they could only muster fifty at the most. Ail their manes and tails were eaten oft. They had eaten each other's manes and tails ofT. The men were ragged and very lous~y, many of thetn. I went into the French camp. The tpen there seemed quite a contrast to our men ; they were building huts, not otily for themselves, but for the Biritish. I left Batla klarat in the steamer Ci:y of Londotn for Con-. stantinople 5 January. Weo were to tow a batr qjue, the "Monarchy," conveying sick. The captain of that vessel told my captain that 20 had died, being frost-bitten. and lie said that many of their legs had rotted oft; and they had thrown them overboard." Another witoess testified that lie saw soldiers eating their rations raw for want of fuel to cook them. The samue witness described Admiratl Boxer, who had comumand att Balaklava, as " a very intetuperate old mnazi who gave very extra ordinary directions.". Tlhe chaplain to the First Division gavo evi dence: " At the time he was at the camp there was a great deal of icikness. I satw the hospitals every day. The patients were lying on the gro~und, sotme on bushes. * * * * Thte bodies were carried to the gratves itn blankets, and the blankets were takens oft; an order to that effect beitng given, in consequence of its being reported that the bodies were dug up again and the blankets stolen. The only time I ever heard soldiers making complaints, who were not sick, wats when they complained of their comrades being exposed by the blankets being removed. There were matny wild dogs, but they had enough to eat from the deatd hior ses, without digging up the burial ground." Another extract from the testimotny of Mr. G. Dundas, 31. P., will sufiice'to show what British .soldiers suffered :'rom aristocratic incompetency: "As to the state of the men, their uniforms were all in rags, and they seemed to be ina slate of extreme dirt and misery. The conditiot of the itnfantry was evetn worse than that of the casvalry, on account o'f the greater distance of their encampment from Balaklava. Their uni forms, for the most part, were tattered, and gen. erally they wore great coats over their uniforms, but their trousers were in rags. He had veen men get hold of sandbags atnd wrap them round the lower part of their legs, as somse proteelion against the mud atnd cold. As to their food, lie uniderstood that their rations were often very sbort." Accoms Tro Mas. WEsTE.-The New~ Tribune, of Saturday, says:-- Yesterday after noon, as the catrriage of Mr. Curtis was paissing through Fourteenth street, the horses becamt frightened and ran away-the driver losing al control of them. Mrs. Webster, widow otf the late Daniel Webster, was in the carriage at thme time, atid, becoming alarmed, jumped out of the vehicle, in conseqttence of she was severe ly itnjured. She was throwl with great violence upon the pavemuent, and striking upon her head, was badfy cut. Sonme citizens, who witnessed the occurrence, hastened to her relief and con veyed her, in a state of insensibility, to the dwelling house No.76 Fourteenth street. Medi cal attendance was promptly at hand, and Mrs. WV. recovered sufficiently in a short time to be conveyed to her residence. The injuries she sustained are of a very serious nature." SUDDEN DEATH.-We regret to learn that Mr. Levi Williams, died suddenly while on his way to the Village, on WVednesday ipet. It is suppo sed his deaith was caused from Apoplexy. He was foutnd about 4 miles from this place, lying by the side of the road. Mr. Williams was an old and respected citizen of this District.-Lex ington Telegraph.

THE editor having levanted* to Charleston, for the purpose of attending the Fair, we are permitted by the boss in command to take as wide a row as we see fit. If we can possibly confine ourself to a column, we shall try to do so. But the upheavings of genius, which swell our bosom at the bare sight of that old arm-chair, premonish us that this may scarcely be. We shall see. *Bear in mind, brother quills, that we have been the Jrst man to introduce this bcautiful word into the 'parlance' of the craft. GRAY BROTHERS. ON the eve of going to press we received a long and very descriptive advertisement from this .well-known House, but too late for this issue. We are informed by a friend, and a gentleman of fine taste, that Ga.tv BRoTHERS are now receiving and opening one of the Largest, Prettiest and Cheapest assortment of Goods ever offered in Augusta. Whenever you visit that City be certain to give them a call. THE BLACK LIST t THIS week we commence, according to promise, the "Black List." On another column will Ie found a, " List" of ten of the hardest cases that a poor prin ter ever had dealings with. We never saw any of them, but we imagine, that they are ten of the mean est and most loathsome looking whits men now to be found. We have no sympathy for them-in fact they have no more need of sympathy than a billy-goat has for cologne. TIIE RASCIIE FAMILY. WE had a special invitation to attend the Concert of Saturday night given by Prof. RAsCHE and his interesting family, and were well pleased *with the varied and excellent performance of each and every member. Master ALFRED just beats all creation with his fiddle, and lie is, in the language of MooRs, the great historian, "Just as good a fiddler as ever draw'd a how." But W5i. PARROw, that " Shanghaie" fellow, is the chap that tickled ts; and we took such a fancy to him that we named our old bob-tail rooster after him. Should we ever have the pleasure of seeing him again, we'll know him by his " crow." May crowded houses and great success attend Professor RAsCHE, his musical prodigals and BiL.. PARtow wherever they may go. MELANGE. HAvING to occupy the inside chair this week, we supposed it to be the inalienable right to turn over the Editor's papers with a free hand. And we further supposed that, in doing so, we should find some little editorial tit-bits which we might read, revise and ap propriate. Our supposition was entirely erroneous. The only thing we found, which even squinteol ti wards the business in harid, was a scrip of paper with the following memoranda scratched upon it in a very rude and inartistic manner: 1. RALttRoADs AGAIs. 2. GRANITEVILLE AND MR. GREGG. 3. TmiE EDITOR'S " LEADER." 4. PETIGRU'S ORATION, &C. 5. ACKNowLEDGEMENTS. This, we suppose, was the bill of fare (so far as de termined upon) for our present number; and, although we cannot well imagine what we shall say, yet re garding it to be our duty to say something under each of these captions, we proceed to the task with a diffi dent Iteart, a nervous hand, hut a first rate steel pen: 1.-RAILROADS AGAIN. Again and again have we descanted upon Rail roads and their advantages. Again and again have we written about the iron hors,.- with breast of brass and main of smoke. Again and again have we at tempted to exhort our people into a Railroad fever. And, again and again, have our Railroad articles failed of suc-cess. So much so, that wve are very near vowing never to write on Railroads again. And, if that ain't sticking to our text, we don't knouw what is. 2.-GRANITEVILL.E & GREGG. IThese two words, being the names of Edgefield's flourishing manufacturing Village and of the distin guished founder thereof, both begin with a G. This, to our humble view, is eminently suggestive of the fact, that there are two very expressive English mono syllables beginning with the same letter-we mean great and good. The application need not be piointed 3-TIIE EDITOR'S " LEADER." Our private opinion is that the Editor's " Leader," as they call it, is jttst about the 'hillest I art of a newspaper. In times of peril and excitement, wi en momentous questons, bearitig upon the home rights of thme reader, ii re to be discussed aiid determi nedl, they are admirab'e afFauirs (these "leaders,") provided they lead us along the high-road of honor and principle. Bitt this eternaul rounid of dull, prosy, speculatory dis sertation uipon suchi matters as the " Eas'ern Ques tion" in all its changing pthases, or the "' Adinistra tion" with its whims andI caprices, or " Kntow Nothi ing-ismn" with its perishable absurdities-suich as this, we say, is intolerable. Give us short, racy paragraphs all the time, unless you havo sonie truths to evolve bearing directly upon our rights andl interests. That is a right tight paragraph, Colonel, but w e always endeavor to .speak plainly the honest convic tions of our heart. 4.-PETlIGRU'S OR AT ION, &C. Not having been honored with a copy of this pro. duction, and not finaditng the Editor's copy in his drawer, we beg to be excused from pe'petrating a criticism. It is perhaps well, both for 3Mr. PETIGRU and ourself, that such is the case. Because, whenever we call to nmind the drawling affectation of his niasal twang, we feel as though it would be a good thuing if somebody would fairly jerk the hide off of him. This we should be tempted to do in the matter of his ora tion. The next thing of coturse would be a ref ly front Mr. PErTottU. Then wouldl fullow a rejoinder front us-then a rebutter from Mr. PF.TTIGitU and a sub rebutter from us. And so the public would at leingth he glad e nougt. when Mr. P ETIGRaU and oulrselfshiould reach the end of ouir controversy. Taking this view of the matter, we say it is well both for Mr. Pr.TIGR U andi ourself (and we miay adid, the reading public of the United States,) that the said Mr. Pr.TiRa's said oration is not before us. 5.-ACKNOW LEDGMENTS. Now here we are somewhat flusierateud. What the Eitor meant to acknowledge, it is imnpossible for us to tell, having no clue to his sins of omission and commission. We suppose thereforo that we must make a clean breast in our own intdividuial case. Here goes: Gentle reader, on Monday night last it so happened that we were left alone in the establishment knownt as the " Advertiser O1lice." Searching about, as is our custom when left alone andl unoccupied, we foundl under a heap if lierary matter a little old black cunck bottle about half full of real goued R. G. whis key,-deposited there, we suppose, by the Editor, for his own individual use. Blessing our luck, we drank health after health to the God of Solitude, until at length, to our amazement and ctnfusion, the room b egati to turn around, the old press was multiplied into a half dozen, there were ten candles where only one stood before, and every thmog else undlerwvent a Isimilar transmogrification. Suffice it to say that, for the first time since last Christmas, we were tight. And, hoping to be excused by the " old man" and Ievery body else, we hereby " acknowledge the corn." OUR EXCIIANGES. WE have glanced rapidly and generally over our host of exchanges. They are all well laden with sweets and solids, jests and jottings, facts and fancies. The motto in Uncle John's old copy of Salmnagundi would suit some of them well: " In hoc est hoax coin quiz et jokeses, Et smoke 'em, toast 'em, roast 'enm folkses." To one and all, the " Imp" of the Advertiser would say, " Push along, brave lads! There's a good time a coming for many a poor fellow who now toils on, through foot teen long hours out of the twenty-four, undimayed. " Never despair" is the language to live or die by. " Be sure you are right, and go ahead," will take a fellow over to ' kingdom come' when noth ing else will. E' THEz " Sebastopole" is thme title of a new cloak for the ladies. So called, we surmise, because RESPONSITORY. COUkTER, or SCOOTER, or both together, propound a question this week'to the Colonel, which we in his absence take upon us to answer. We hold that a man who burns his neighbor's fen ces intentionally, is as much under the instigation of old Satan as the one who applies the torch to the very house his neighbor sleeps in. (SEE 26 BRIGToN, ON TIM FIRE LAWs.) But if this thing bp done, indiferentc animo as it were,-that is to say with no prepensatory maliciousness-why, of course (45, BoL. IVAR, ON TIlE EvIDENCES OF GUILE) there is mitch to lenify the ma'tter. Still, even then, the culpability is highly condemnatory in the eye of Justice; and, ac. cording to recent decisions by the Courts, it is not en tirely certain that proof of non-malintentionableness *ill hereafter screen the offender from exemplary punishment. We therefore warn all such gentlemen to be upon their guard. A new process, it is thought will be gotten up to suit this particular class of mis. demeagors. It is to be designated as a trespass in the nature of a " Quare clausum conjlagravit." TO OUR SWEETHEART. DE.R NANCY :-In order to show you that we never, never forget thee-not even whilst we are adorning the Editorial sanctum with our humble pres ence, and thousands of eager readers are anxiously awaiting cur soul-stirring effusions-we have conclu dled to indite a short article for our mtual benefit. Well, you recollect the other night at the Concert when that little red-headed, patridge nosed, owl-eyed, big mouthed miss was asked who was that with you, she said, as a smile covered her face resembling " Death on the Palo Horse,"-" Oh, me! why, he is. nothing but a printer's boy." And Nancy, if we ever felt like chawing up flint rocks, this was the time. Oh, good gracious, we was so hot-our blood fairly biled in our veins; and if it had been one of the mas culine gender, he would've got awfully whipped. We was so mad, dear NANCY, that we wis afraid to go home with you, and taking everything into conside ration, we know you'll pardon us for our conduct that evening. Since then we have gradually cooled down, and have forgiven the poor girl-it was ignorance that caiused her to use the remark. Read the following extract to her, which we take from one of the first books of the country. It will cut her a little, if it don't lead to repentance. "NOBODY BUT A PRINTER ANYtow.-Such was the eneering remark of a person residing not a thou sand miles from the door of onr sanctum, in referring to the profession we follow in pride. " Nobody I ut a printer," in sooth! It makes our blood run rampant through our veins, to hear such expressions fall from the lips of those nursed on republican soil. "Nobody but a printer, anyhow !" Who was Benjaman Frank lini? "Nobody but a printer!" who was William Caxton, one of the fathers of literaturo? "Nobody but a printer !" Who was Earl Sanhope! "Nobody but a printer !" Who was Governor Armstrong, of Massachusetts? "Nohody but a priter!" Who were Governor Bigler, of Pennsylvania, and Governor Bigler. of California! " Nobody but prin ters !" George P. Norris. N. P. Willis, Joseph Gales, Charles Richardson, James Harper, Horace Greely, Bayard Taylor, Robert Sears, and Senators Dix, Cameron and Niles-who are they! " Nobody but printers, anyhow 1" One thing is evident; every per son that chooses can't be a printer. Brains are ne cesary.0-Exchange. THE ELOQUENCE OF LANGUAGE. IN all our reading, and it was very varied until we got to dabbling in ink, we have never met with any thing at once so expressive ar:d so elegantly wrought out as the following. It is said to have been an of. hand apostrophe to his home, enunciated bythe cele brated Brudder BoNEs, on the occasion of one of his benefits. Read and admire: "'Twns in a deep wale, shut out by ole pine treeses whar de parfumigated essence was wafted on de bree zes and de sui's hot rays was melted by the dewses, de grass so soft you could walk widtit boots or shioeses. In a horn de moon ri es chock fill. for fear de sun might scorch hot wool. Alatonasier lanips can't shine in dat spot, kase we use do hog's lard to burn de pine knot. When mud becomes mud-turi le, and your sweet voice am heard, de skeeters will suck you like de ole humming-bird ; den de murmurs ob low gushing foun tains shall ring, while de voice ob do humbug around you %%ill sing-" Das is my home in de ole pine -ale." I've finished my story-how d'ye like my daguerreo type !" Read again, and reflect. Why it would confer un tld honors on eve:n the great Shakspear or Tectimseh, the greatest writers of the age in which they lived.

SEBASTOPOL CANNOT BE TAKEN.-The Nev York correspondent of the Charleston Courie makes the following report of a recent convet sation with Mr. Marsh, our late and highly in telligent Minister at Constantinople, on the sub ject of the war and prospects in the Crimea: Mr. Marsh maintained, very decidedly, th opinion that the allies can neither conquer th Crimen, nor take Sebastopol. So far as th peculiar energy and prestige of the late Czar formed an element of the Russian strength, th power of Russia for defence may have been di minished by his death; but an accession of nem elements may be brought to the national power by enthusiasm with which his memory ma; be erished and his policy sustained.

His firm profession of religion was in 1806, under the ministr of the Rev. Dr. Andrew Flynn. A few weeks afte joining the Presbyterian Church in Camden, he wa made an Elder of that church. In this capacity, Mtw he served the Presbyterian Church itt Columbia, anti his change of denomination. Whilst residing in Co lumbi.a it became a question in his church whethe the children of those who are not themselves member of a church are entitled to baptism. Resorting to th I scriptures for facts and arguments to settle this ques Stion, 'r.
