The Exeoution in Tarboro.'
TARBOBO', N. C, April 3.—With the
truce Taylor did not once touch upon the
crime, while Knight spoke freely, stead-fastly
denyiDg any knowledge of it. Both
seemed penitent and asserted their peace
was made with their Maker.
The terrible death penalty read that the
condemned bo taken from the jail of Edge-combe
county to the place ol public execu-tion
at Tarboro', and there be hanged by
the neck until both were dead, between
the hours often A. M. and four P. >!.
SCRUBS ABOUT THE SCAFFOLD.
Precisely at half-past eleven they were
taken from their cell and led forth into the
centre of a square formed by the guard
and in accordance with their expressed
wish were marched to the scaffold. The
solemn procession moved slowly through
the mud in the streets, encountering a
cold, pelting rain, accompanied by attend-ant
crowds of sable citizens, among whom
were no inconsiderable number of women.
Fifteen minutes later and the scaffold was
reached, the prisoners maintaining all the
while a dogged silence. Taylor looked de-fiant,
Knight calm and resigned. At the
scaffold a dense crowd, mostly black, was
collected and the heights just above on

the two new chairs provided especially
for the occasion. A brief conversation
with their respective spiritual advisers
then ensued in which both continued to as-sert
their innocence, Taylor emphatically
at one time using an oath, sayiug he knew
nothing about it, in a sullen, savage tone.
Knight appeared throughout to be resign-ed
to bis fate, which both seemed anxious
to meet, probably from the fact that they
could not fully realize their terrible posi-tion.

The shackles were stricken from the con-demned

savage fortitude of John Tavlor began to
give way, and although he well endeavor-ed

We reel sure that Lincoln will prosecute

Congress will endorse his policy and grant
him what he demands. This is our opin-ion.
The anti-war feeling in the North
may increase, but in order to end the war
upon terms to suit the South, and to give
us peace for any length ef time, it is abso-lutely
necessary to give the Hessians sev-eral
Severe drubbings. We believe, there-fore,
the action of the South Bhonld be

"REACTION'.
There are unmistakable evidences of a
strong reaction against the war in the
North. The utter prostration of business
in the cities of commerce, and the closing
up of factories is telling powerfully upon
the people. The Northwest is evidently
disgruntled at being cut off from Southern
markets. Lincoln and his party will still
press it and we fear they are too strong
to be overcome by moral forces at work.
