fERRE-HAUTE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1853.

A ooryespondent of tbe Boston Trajucript gets off* tbe following "good 'un:*' TAS NEW POST.—-A correspondent has favored us with a personal description of young Alexander So^th, whose name acd fame are now so current in England, as well as in our own country:

LONDON, Aug, 3. 1B53.

A few evenings since I was invited to a friend's house, where a company of literati were to assemble, for the purpose of meeting the youngest and most enchanting of British bards. About 6 o'clock the crowd of'ladies and gentleman thickened towards the door, aod expectation stood on tiptoe. Pew present had ever looked upon the youth who had taken captive so many hearts and bead* among that admirers ot song. "Genias is always ecoenlrie," said a tali, thin, wiry, straight haired curate, "and Smith will startle us I dessay with bis manner." "He will soon be here," replied the lady of the houSe, »*and weshsH see."—Ten o'clock and the white headed servant bowed and called out distinctly at the drawing-room door, "ilfr Smith!" Every voice was hush ed as the footsteps in the entry g^ew louder, and .approached tbe entrance avenue.—I most acknowledge to considerable curiosity on my part as Mr. Smith came forward and extended his hand to Madame I ob served a slight tremubusness on the part of our hostess, usually so calm and collected She !oo felt the magic presence of genius end instinctively turned pale and faltered somewhat in her manner. 1 have seen her bow to a Duke, and extend her finger to Duchess, without the quiver of a muscle. have seen her recognize by and return the salutation of half a dozen earls and their countesses, butnow her trial hour had come

Like a true London-bred hostess, however, she soon resumed her wonted coolness, and Mr. Smith was cut on the floor for examination.—A pallid fsce sat on a back ground of raven hair eyes now bright, now languid: of ebon blackness lips apart, and esgen a form frail as the bush that bears the pendant lily and Alexander Smith is before us. He looked hungry and immediately called lor a sandwich and something liquid to moisten 'Us journey down his waiting throat. I have seen pantaloons in all their various stages of patched decay, but never such a pair as encased that night the lengthy lower members of Alexander Smith. They had seen better days. The seme may bi said of his coat and the sum total of his ap

parel. But if his garments were bad, his manners were brilliant. He neither looked nor acted like an ordinary man. His whole bearing was magnificent, and every eye followed him with admiration. One of his first requests was to have the windows thrown open wider that he might gaze upon and hold a conversation with the stars. He spoke to no one else, declining all solicits tious and introductions. His breast pin, a large cameo representation of Mark Antony, lay, like an Emperor, upon his dingy shirt bosom. This he frequently clutched with a convulsive energy. 1 wished very much to hear tbe sound of his voice, and once only during that evening was 1 gratified. As the servant handed him the tray of ices, he tiezed one with both hands, swallowed il without a struggle, threw the glass out of the window, and sighed in a tone like ihe western wind-*--

White Slavery.

The Wsfchington Union has a new correspondent writing from Europe over the signature appended below. She thus describe* the scenes at the Stafford House, subsequent to tbe celebrated breakfast given to Mrs, Harriet Beecher Stowe: "It was proposed by Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer (his lady not being present to dissent from the proposition) that we Should all go and witness the preparations, and thai were, in progress for the reception of Uncle Thomas and my mistress at Exeter Hall. No sooner said than- done. Up drove the carriage to the door, for the drivers and footman had been kept waiting, as is very common in the rain of tha streets, while the gorgeous breakfast party was going on within, and so after bundling up a little, we all bundled in.

Uncle Thomas and mistress passed out at the great Hall door togelher| The rumor of our intended visit to Exeter Hall had drawn quite a crowd together on the sidewalks, and some ragged and starving were even standing and gazing at us from the filth of the London gutters! So great and universal, is the admiration for our re public instilled among the masses of the English metropolis.

As Uncle Thomas and mistress stepped out, arm in arm, there was a little delay, in consequence of one or itoo of the lords aod ladies having to slip back a moment to take their anti-fog mantles—merely as medicine, however The poor half starved crowd around now drew nearer, atid as mistress paased a little further out they began to press upon her quite closely. At this moment tbe stentorian voice of a servant of Lord Morpeth cried out—"Begone you dirty beggars! Off with you! Make way for the distinguished auihMSSjSUpf

Uncle Tom's Cabin!' kptfma But ihe hungry and shivering creatures would not obey hi* lordly command. They came nearer and nearer atill, so that they looked mistress directly in the eye—"(what impudence for white folks,'' muttered Uncls Thomas.) One of vhe wretched outcasts lifted up her hands in the rain, with an infant between them lied up in a filthy rags, that smoked with foetid heat as she thrust out, and putting her thin lips close to the ear of mistress sha said— "Please mar'm, won't you write a book for the starving poor of England?" ^'Mistress started back at least a yard, Ifnd I verily believe she would have fallen to the pavement, if dear good Uncle Thomas had not quickly caught ,her in his arms.

As mistress recovered snd began to press forward again, an Irish Serf, worn out decrepjd, ragged and staggering under the burden that unpaid toil and harsh treatment had laid upon him, and who struggled into the purlieas of London, to beg and starve and die, put himself direoily in our path, anr. with a husky tremulous voice he spoke "Och! by the love o' the howly Vigin! would my madam be pleased to remimber and write a book for (he sorrotes of poor auld Irelandt"

Before mistress had lime to recover fully from this second bhock, a pair of little skeleton children crowded up to her feel, one of ihem dotted all over with fleck of cotton, and the other begrimmed with soot, and bursting into tears, they cried— 'Dear my lady! would you think of ihe lactones of Yorkshire, and the colleries of of Wales, atid write a book about them?'*

Well, now 1 thought mistreei would faint outright! 1 do belktve she would if Lord Brogham had not rushed out at the mo ment, and held his volatile Jo her nose.—• With a deep drawn sigh she revived, and we hastened her and Uncle Thomas to their splendid oarriage Another lackey of ihe original Count D' Israeli shouting out st the lop of his voice, "Make way there, 1 say, ye vagabonds! Clear Ihe walk, or the dogs of my Lady Stafford shall be let upon y*.!''

The crowd fell back, and soon we were in our splendid vehicles. Crack went ihe whis round rolled the wheels and amid feelings and thoughts, you Mr. Editor, may belter imagine man I describe, we arrived at the great entrance to Exeter Hall.

But the scenes that transpired on the occasion I speak* of, you shall htear at length in my next' letter.

Meanwhile, sh*, permit'tne to remain your humble servant, HARRIET SCREECH ER BLOW.

Execution of Robt. ths Murder of

ftobiasoil, for

Guard

Saturday will long be remembered by tbif citizens of Alexandria. For tbe first liftfe h» ten years was Campbell coiinty the scene of a publio eiectftfort. The excitement was geoeral, but not intense and nol#Hhstanding the sijgttf oftosea for tha 'legal sacrifice* was publio, but about five hundred persons assembled to see the atern letter of the law Carried into effect. The day was unpleas*

His spiritual adviser, a Baptist clergyman, talked with him repeatedly on the subject,' but he never until the last moments of his life, could be induced to change his ideas on the matter. About a fortnght *go« he succeeded in working a passage through his cell and would have escaped, but he was so frightened at the appearance of a dog in a jail yard, and so grfeat Was hi* dread of a conflict wtth tho animal, that he went back again. Sinoe his attempted escape he has been guarded d«y and night, and kept seoure until the fatal tree should claim him as lood.

About four o'olook Saturday morning, he told ihe guard that their presence annoyed bim, and that he wished to be alone for quiet and repose. The guard went into an adjoining room, and the prisoner extinguished the light and gave token that he had retired to his couch. At last, a noise w*s heard the guard rushed to the cell and found it covered with blood. He had bandaged his arm, and severed the vein, with the view of committing suicide. He was nearly dead when found, and it was only by the prompt conduot ol the sheriff, Charles Strieker, Esq.. who administered powerful restoratives, that he was kepi alive until the hour appointed for his execution.

About 9 o'clock the sheriff wen I into his cell to prepsre him to meet his death. shook hands with tho sheriff, and said, "Aii! Charley, you know me we played together when we were mere boys, and I never tho't you would have lo hang me, but I am ready to go wilh you."

The sheriff at onco proceeded to discharge his imperative duly, lie allowed the unhappy man all the priveleges he pos-

sibly could. He spnke kindly to him and

answered all his interrogatories. The pris Oner refused to take any food, but he drnnk a little ooffee, iiis conversation in the coll we did not listen to, attentively, as wo were made aware that he would speak his mind openly on the scaffold.

About 1! o'clock the procession commenced moving. The prisoner was placed in a car containing his coffin. His appearance was wretched. Pool-, dejected, t'r»mbling wretch, we pitied him' as Wo gazed upon his unearthly looking cheek, lie was so weak that he loitered like a child. The excessive loss of blood a few hour* before, his long, restless nights, and the anticipation of ihe terrible reality before him, completely prostrated himl As the line began to move, an old man depped up and told him to meet hi& fate like a man. It was a fathers advice to his dying criminal son

By the time hs readied the gallows, he appeared lo beve rallied considerably. He walked boldly up the steps, and had not his arms been lettered we do not think he would have required ihe slightest assistance. He was followed by the sheriff, the jailor, the clergyman, the legal assistants, and the reporters of ihe press.

As soon as he reached the platform he knell down and joined the clergyman in prayer, after which he rose and made speech, averring his Innocence of the crime «latin that hfe dW not ibtend tb kill G'uar!— thai the gun went off accidentally. &io. immediately after his address a prayer was offered up. He then commenced active conversation with ihose assembled around. Once or twice he smiled. One gentleman of thb p'reta interrogated htm so closely that he evinced some little chagrin. Still the assidudus gentleman kept on wri ting and and talking until th* prisoner fainted from exhaustion. He soon rallied, but evident that he was almost dying of weekcess. He sarofc twice, and the last time we thought that the Sheriff Would have a lifelea* corpse to swing between heaven and earth, in lieu of a trembling criminal.

At about thirty uMatJtar past twelve tbe sheriffgWe token that tbe hour for the 6oh* demed had arrived. He intimated to tbe officer tbat be was anxious to go. A* we returned to leave the gallows, he said,f^ A.V "Gentlemen you who are reporter* or editors, I am'(filling to abs#er anything you require, but do me justice gentleman, let me bS undihrstoood. -Oh! gemtemeri tbe most drssdfel thing'#as to part due day weeir from my dear companion, my wife/' ffe then turned to the Sberiff and said, "Charley, give me a Mile chance—a long fall thought H^i^ruid bs your Auty to bbi^ nie did yoo^* Tbe Sheriff speared sad when be answered.

ant, ihe roads bad, nevertheless the majority of those present came from a considerable 'l16 Jj" distanoe. The solemn quiet that reigned around was indicative of the impression ihe sad scene made upon the assembled crowd, and told well for the order-loving citizens of Kentucky. ^Por some tfme past the prisoner appeared satisfied that he bad no hope of executive clemency to intervene between him and his awful fate. For a long time, in fact ever sinoe his oontfotion, ha entertained a belief that the publio were prejudiced against him

The noose was tied »r»| as to be effective, and the gallows (the same one used for Patrick Burns at tfew Port,! ten years ago.) w»s firmly built. The corpse will be interred to, day in the Baptist burving ground, near the place where the oris* oners family resides. fhere appears to be no credence in ih»

Of this crime we cannot speak lie has paid with his moVta! body tbe penalty re^'uireil liv law, and his spirit h'as gone to ihe God who g»*e it =.

The following Incident came off in a certain jfoor house In New Hampshire. yoCfag clergyman visiting the establishment, seated himself by ihe side of a deaf o!4 woman, when the following coversation oufsued:

Clergyman (shouting)—"IIow old are you. my good madam I" Old Woman—'"Eighty-eight ytfurs old, oome next May."

Old Woman (horrified)—"Worms, did you' say Are you troubled with 'em? 1 never know'd grown up men folks lo have 'cni.ver^ bad

WJI how auoh a process would satisfy ma that I acied uijuotly towards you, or convince you to the contrary, is, I confess, quho beyond tny comprehension."

The correspondent of tha Now York Commercial advertiseranys upon this: ••The result of the affair is that public opinion goes with Mr. Cobden in his non. acceptance of the challenge, for such is tho' feeling in England on points of this nature

that no man can either send or accept a chalenge, without irretrievably damaging himself and weakening all his lulirro influ once."
