Tile Arkansas Horrnr-ExccnfScn cf tbe MUK In Pleads. Tho four colored militiamen, onmed Wil? liam PdrteW Monroe Allon, Hector Aotou, and Wm. Reese, connected with the force stationed nt Marion, Crittenden County, I Arkansas, who perpetrated a fieudish and benstly crimo upon several women living in tho vicinity of the camp, were arraigned be? fore a court-martial on the 18th instant, aud were couvicted of the alleged charges, and shot hy order of the court on the following day. Tho rote of the court, in deciding the case of all the parlies, was unnuimous for con? viction. Upon tlje close of the trial tho criminals were confined to the guardhouse, and were allowed the company of the col? ored chaplains connected with the force, who administered religious consolation to their troubled minds, till the time arrived for their execution, which was formally an? nounced to the prisoners a half hour pre? vious to their death. Tho iuterveuiug moments between the announcement and the time they were shot were of dreadful agony and wailing, mingled with cries to the officers to abate their pun? ishment, and prayers to the Giver of their lives for pardon aud mercy. Their piteous and loud cries rent the air, and were heard throughout the neighborhood, sending a chill of horror to all. The men and officers of the garrison were, however, unanimous in their condemnation of the outrage, and not a word of remonstrance, or an intima? tion of r?sistance to the execution of tho sentence of tho court, was heard. On tho contrary, it was feared by tho officers, from tho excited feelings of th? privates, (par? ticularly of those in the same company of tho criminals.) that previous to the promul? gation of the order of the court-martial they would break through the guard and deal out vengeance themselves to the prisoners, who had so cruelly disgraced them. A few minutes previous to tho execution, tho prisoners were led out from the barri? cade a short distance, where their coffins were laid sido by side, a few feet apart, and each tied to a stake driven in the ground at the end of the coffins, with their backs tc the same. Forty men, all colored, and sc lected from every company, under com maud of Lieut. Gregory, colored, were de tailed to shoot tho criminals. They wen drawn up in two ranks. At the commune of the officer the front rank leveled theil guns at tho men and fired, the fatal shot; killing each of them instantly. A squad o men was then detailed to place the bodies ii their collins and bury them. The affair wa witnessed by the entire militia force, witl tho exception of several scouting parties. The names of the women who were out I raged arc as follows: Mrs. J. Reeves, Mrs j Jas. Watson, Mrs. Galloway, Mrs. McGee j and Miss Sweptsen. All wore married nn< i hail families, save the latter.

"Wo havo seen planters killing tho woo pecker for sport. They aro regarded ai nuisance, because thoy peek holes in t (shtick, and aro charged with eating you com. Butin this last particular injus'i is done them. If you will go to every c ? they have pecked, and examino closely, y will find that a worm has been there enti the corn, but it is not there then, beear tho woodpecker has taken it off the car a swallowed it. Instead of eating your coi it will protect it from tho worm. Ho therefore, your friend and not your enea and you should not kill him." Northern People Welcome at tlie Sou.n. To the Editor of the Tribxine-SIB: In a letter to you from Tennessee, dated tho 4th ult., I stated that Northern men would re? ceive ft hearty welcome from Southern peo? ple generally, if they joiao to travel, reside or settle. The only kind of persous for whom I have heard them express contempt is tho class of adventurers who como here to obtain office, instead of to cultivate the soil. These they call carpet-baggers, and they run their own risk if they choose to fish in thc muddy sea ol' politics. All other people are welcome hero. Such is the opinion expressed by all I have couversed with. From Memphis to Augusta, along the entiro line of the Memphis and Charles? ton Railroad, is a country possessing every advantage of climate and .soil that would please Northern fanners. Instead of bleak ?md wintry storms lasting till May, they can commence to plow for au early crop at the end of this month. Early potatoes, apples aud vegetables and fruits can be shipped from that region six weeks or more before Northern crops are ready, and realize tho enhanced price obtainable for the early yield. Railroad facilities abound connect? ing thc cutir? plateau with the North, North? west, North-east, ns wei! as East, West and South. The climate is delightful, aud even in summer, rarely exceeds ninety degrees. I am told, winter is not over six to eight weeks. Farming, ten or eleven months of the year. Productions-cotton, wheat, corn, barley, rye, oats, potatoes, whito aud sweet; in great perfection. Vegetables of all kinds. Fruits-apples, peaches, pears, plums, etc., and berries in profusion. Grapes, just the place for vineyards. Hops, better than in Kent, can produce two bales and moro lo the acre. In fact, everything that grows at the North will grow luxuriant? ly ut nearly any point of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, West, North and South Caro? lina, North-west Georgia, and North Ala? bama and Mississippi, with the same amount of skill and labor that is now ap? plied to the soil of thc more Northern States. Land is cheaper at the South now than it will ever be again. Some to bc had as low* as two and three dollars per acre, from that upward. The people wish North? ern and British capital nmoug them now. Slavery is dead and buried. Labor in great demand. I am authorized to donate land to actual settlers. Besides thc beautiful central plateau described mindi of the land in Kentucky, Northern and East Tennessee and West Virginia, is suited for Northern settlers, ami tho climate is good. Miucs aud minerals abound and nothing is now wanting but capital and labor to transform tho South into a gulden, in my next, I will tell you what great inducements the I railroad companies are inclined to bold out I to settlers and emigrants. L uni, very truly, TH KO. BOURNE, No. 4G Pine st reet, New York. j CHARLESTON, S. C., January 0, 1809. THE Omi THIEVES TO ns TUKNED Ocr. The Washington correspondent of tho Balti? more (Jazette says: "Upon tho advent of Grant, the first desperate fight will be for tho control of the Internal Revenue Bureau. I am in possession of specific information that it has been determined by thc advisers of thc "coming mau" to oust the "riug" that has so far given law to that establishment. The bureau has hitherto, it is known everywhere, run the Treasury machine. A very determined effort will tie made to re verso this order of things. A new and formidable ring of outsiders have strong hope of unhorsing the whole bord of black mailers in New York and elsewhere. Of course thc public will rea}) no benefit from the chango. A moro hungry swarm will light upon the public Treasury-that's all." -o In one of Dr. Ayer's lectures, he states that chemistry confers moro practical bene? fit on iiiuukind, than any other science, yet from no other sourco could more bo so easily obtained. The arts aud economies which ahemistry would teach, if more thoroughly and generally studied, would speedily exer? cise a most beneficent iufiuence. Ho freely confesses that he is iudebted to this science for tho virtues of his remedies, and advises that the practical application of chemistry to medicine, the arts, manufactures, and agriculture, bo enjoined upon our colleges and schools.- Wrightsville ( Pa.) Sar. A CONVENIENCE.-It is reported that all the railroads in this State, savo one, have issued free passes over their respective lines to members of tho General Assembly. Nine dollars per diem, twenty cents per mile for mileage, and a freo ride, is not bad for Georgia's law-makers. What care they if the poople do groan under oppressive taxation? J Aug unlit Press. Office of Udolpho Wolfe, j SOLE IMPORT, OF TUE SCUIEOAM AROMATIC SUIINAI-PS '22 BEAVER STREET, NEW YORK, NOV. :J. r.s. To the People of the Southern States. WliOU thu pure medicinal restorative, now so widely known as Wolfe's SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, was introduced into tho world, under the endorse? ment of 1,000 loading members of the medical pro? fession, sonio twenty years ago, its proprietor was well aware tit.Lt it could not wholly escape the penalty attached to new and useful preparations. Ho, therefore, endeavored to invest it with tho atrongoet possible safeguard against counterfeit? ers, and to render all attempts lo pirate it difficult and dangerous. It was submitter to distinguish? ed chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them tho purest spirit ever manufactured. Its purity and properties having boen thus ascertained, samples of tho article were forwarded to 10,000 physcians, including all tho leading practitioners in tho United atatcs, for purposes of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of tho preparation and a report of tho rosult, accompanied each Bpccirucn. 4,000 of tho most eminent medical men In tho Union promptly responded. Their opinions of tho article wore unanimously favorable, auch a preparation, they said, had long been wanted by tho profession, as no reliance could bo placod on tho ordinary liquors of csmincrcc; all of which wera more or leas adulterated, and, therefore, unlit for modical purposes. Tho peculiar excel? lence and strength of the oil of juniper, which formed ouo of tho principal ingredients of tho Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of thc alcoholic clement, give it, in the estimation of tho faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive stimulant as a diuretic, tonic and restorative. These satisfactory credentials from professional mon of tho highest rank woro published in a condensed form, and enclosed with each bottle ot tho Schnapps, as ono of thc guarantees of its genuineness. Othor precautions against frand wore also adopted; a patent was obtained for tho article, the label v. a? copyrighted, a./<ic simile of tho proprietor's autograph signature was attached to eaeli label and cover, his name and that of tho preparation were embossed on tho bottles, and tho corks were sealed with bis private seal. No articlo had ?n cr been sold in this country under tho namo of Schnapps prior to tho introduction of Wolfo'a Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1851; and tho label was deposited, as bis trado mark, in tho United States District Court for the Southern Dis? trict of New York during that year. It might he supposed, ny persons unacquainted with the daring character of t, pirates who prey upon tho reputation of honori lb merchants, hy vending deleterious trash under their name, that thc protections so carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have precluded the introductions and salo of counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have stimulated tho rapacity of impostors. Tho trado mark of the proprietor has been stolen: tho endorsement which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from tho medical pro? fession has bonn claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels au bottles have been imitated, his ad? vertisements paraphrased, his circulars copied, an?Vworse than all, dishonorable retailers, after disposing of tho genuine contents of his bottles, have tilled thom up with common gin, tho most deleterious of all liquors, and thus mado his name and brand a cover for poison. Tho public, the medical profession and the sick, for whom tho Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as a remedy, arc equally interested with tho proprietor in tho detection and suppression of these nefarious practices. Tho genuine article, manufactured at tho establishment of tho under? signed, in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from a barley of tho finest quality, and flavored with an essential extract or tho" berry of tho Italian juniper, of unequalled purity. By a process un? known in tho preparation of any other liquor, it ie freed from every acrimonious and corrosive ele? ment. Complaints have been received from the leading physicians and families in the Southern States, of tho sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in those markets; and travel? ers, who aro in tho habit of using it as an antidoto to the baneful influence of unwholesorao river water, testify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed off upon tho unwary. The agents of tho undersigned have been requested to instituto inquiries on tho subject, and to for? ward to him tho names of such parties as th?y may ascertain to bo engaged in tho atrocious system of deception. In conclusion, tho under? signed would say that hehas producod, from under thc hands of tho most distinguished men of science in America, proofs unanswerable of tho purity and medicinal excellence of tho Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps; that he has expended many thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantees and .safeguards, which he designed should protect the public and himself against fraudulent imita? tions; that he has shown it to bo thc only linuor,in tho world that can bo uniformly depended upon as unadulturatod; that ho has challenged investi? gation, analysis, comparison, and experiment in all its forms: and from every ordeal tho prepa? ration which bears his name, seal and trade mark, has come off triumphant. He, therefore, feols it a duty he owes to his fellow-citizens generally, to tho modical profession and tho sick, to denounco and expose tue Charlatans who counterfeit these evidences of identity, and bc calls npon tho press and thc public to aid him in his efforts to remedy so groat an evil. Tlio following letters and cortificates, from tho loading physicians and chemists of this City, wilt provo to the reader that all goods sold by tho undersigned aro all they aro represented to bo. UDOLPIIO WOLFE. I feel bound to say, that I regard your Schnapps as hoing, in every respect, pre-eminently pure, and deserving of medical patronage. At all events, it is the purest possible articlo of Holland Gin, heretofore unobtainable; and, as such, may bo safelv prescribcel bv plnsicians. ' DAVID L. MOTT, M.

DEAR Sin: I have mado a chemical examination of a sample of your Schiedam Schnapps, with the intent of determining if any foreign or injurious snlistance had been added to tho simple distilled spirits. DEAR Sm: Tho want of puro Wines and Liquors, for medicinal purposed, has been long felt by tho profession, and thousands of lives have boen sac? rifie. ,i by the uso pf adulterated articles. Delirium tremens, and other diseases of tho brain and nerves, so rifo in thia country, aro very faro In Europe; owing, in a great degree, to tho difference in thc purity of tho spirits sold. We havo tested the several articles imported and sold by yon, including yonr Gin, which yon sell under tho name of Aromatio Schiedam Schnapps, which wo consider justly entitled, to tho high reputation it has acquired ia this country; and, from your long experience as a foreign im? porter, your Bottled Wines and Liquors should meet with tho samo demand. We would recommend you to appoint somo of tho respectable apothecaries in different parts of tho city as agents for tho salo of your Brandies and Winos, whore tho profession can obtain the same when ncedod for medicinal purposes. Wishing you success in your new enterprise, wo remain your obedient servants. VALENTINE MOTT, M. D., Professor oiSurgery, University'Medical College Now York. J. M. CARNOCHAN, M.

The examination has resulted in tho conclusion that tho sample contained no poisonous or harm? ful admixture. I havo been unablo to discover any trace of tho deleterious substances which are employed in tho adulteration of liquors. I would not hesitate to uso myself, or to recommend to others, for medicinal purposes, tho Schiedam Schnapps as an excellent and unobjectionable variety of gin. Very respectfully yours.
