EXECUTION OF LEWIS.
David S. Lewis, who was sentenced at
the last term of the Circuit Court of Inde
pendence count}’, to be hung for the mur
der of Wells C. Bewley, bis father-in-law,
was executed at Batesville on Friday the
29th ult. The Balance of the 6th inst.,
says :
The murder for which this man was hang
was one of the most atrocious we have ever
heard of, and committed tinder circumstances
of such a nature as made it singular as well as
infamous and cold-blooded. He killed his
father-in-law. in the presence of his own
wife and child and his victim’s wife, on the
public highway, (near Searcy. White county.)
while they were ail traveling together to Tex
as, for no'other cause, that we could ever
learn, than adisagreement in reference to some
property, which Lewis claimed. After hav
ing approached the traveling carriage from
behind, and shot Bewley down whilst lie was
sitting holding the reins with which he was
driving, he deliberately re-loaded his gun and
approached him again, while he was lying,
weltering in his blood, and probably mortally
wounded, and shot him a second time. We
cannot imagine how such a fiendish act could
have been committed whilst the murderer was
in his right mind, and the statement of the
unfortunate man to his spiritual advisers,
while in confinement, was (hat lie was under
the influence of liquor, when he committed
the crime, and had his passions highly in
flamed by the suggestions of some rowdys
about the grocery in Searcy (White county)
concerning the aggravating character of his
father-in-law’s treatment of him. . He further
acknowledged, that except in reference to the
disagreement about the property, he had never
entertained a hard feeling towards the man lie
murdered. But he has paid to an offended law
the penalty of his crime, and gone to answer
to that higher law,” before the tribunal of
_I. : .1. Ll_:__ ;n„nni,Vnf.‘Ane. -,1I
man secrets stand already revealed there ; and
we can only hope that though deemed unfit for
a place among his fellow-men on earth, his
transgressions w'ere pardoned, by Him who
only has power to pardon, before he went to
he judged.
w Tho following facts in reference to Lewis’
history, were obtained from him by Rev. Mr.
McCarver. of the M. E Church, who attend
ed him to the scaffold.
He was horn in Pickens District, South
Carolina. He was to some extent religiously
raised, and considered disobedience to his pa
rents ihe first step in the carSer of wickedness
which led to his unfortunate end. Among
other things, too, the excessive use of intoxi
cating liquor and keeping the company of bad
men. he says, assisted to corrupt his morals
and harden his conscience. The crime for
which he was executed was committed when
he was intoxicated, and when, as we have
stated, his passions wore inflamed by tlie sug
gestions of other men. He thought he re
ceived the forgiveness of his sins on Sunday
tlie 2-1 th of April, but afterwards was serious
ly in doubt about it.
There was a very large crowd in town to
witness the execution, variously estimated at
from twenty-five hundred to four thousand.
The prisoner was conducted to the gallows at
eleven o’clock, accompanied by Rev. J. S. Mc
Carver and Rev. G. W. Kennard, as his spir
' ituai advisers. Mr. McCarver, on behalf of
tlie prisoner, read a chapter in the Ililde, sung
a hvmn, offered prayer, and made some touch
ing remarks to the assembly. At about fifteen
minutes to twelve o’clock, the rope was adjust
ed around tlie prisoner’s neck. The cap was
kept over his face the whole time, and his
face was not seen by tlie crowd at any time
after he arrived at the gallows ; and he did not
say a word to the people, but was engaged in
earnest prayer tlie whole time. In a feyv
minutes after tlie rope was put around his
neck, tlie drop fell; the unfortunate man
struggled about fifteen minutes in the cmbiace
of death, and his soul took its flight to “ that
undiscovered country.”
The Loss of the Steamer Sc. Nicholas—
Incidents, &c.
Tlie Memphis Bulletin of the 3rd Inst.,
says :
Among the passengers by the Phila
delphia, yesterday, from St. Louis, were
Messrs. IVm. Ilenley and Vvm. Monday,
pilots, who are a committee appointed by
the St. Louis Pilot Association, for the
purpose of searching for the missing re
mains of Mr. Edward Stephens, one of the
pilots of the ill-fated St. Nicholas. They
purchased two yawls at this port, and will
descend the river in them, one on each
side, making diligent search all along the
shore. A large reward is offered by the
Association fo" the recovery of the body,
information of which is to be -left with
Capt. E. F. Dill, at the wharf-boat.
Rev. Thos. M. Finney, of Brunswick,
Mo., also came passenger on the Phila
delphia. and left last evening on the John
Simonds for below, in search of the bodies
of his nieces, Mrs. Ben. V. Ciiiine and
Miss Dennica. A liberal reward is of
fereii for thr recovery of either or both ot
the bodies, intelligence respecting the
same to be left either with Messrs. Lam
bert & Bronaugh, Helena; Johnson &.
Peay, Napoleon"; Wirt, Andrews & Co.,
Vicksburg, or with the captains of the
packets Kale Frisbee, Victoria or J. G.
Cline.
The Helena Southron of the 4th inst.,
says:
The hull of the St. Nicholas wai caught
aboutone mile this side of Friars Point
by Mr. S. Boice, and it is now safe,
though under water more than a foot.
Before it sunk he recovered several barrels
of pickled pork, lard, and flour, and says
that there is a large quantity of lead in it
which will be recovered when the water
falls. It is supposed that the sale is in
the hull, and, it is said, contains 83,000.
Last week this paper announced that a
tall young man was lost from the St. Nich
olas, but who he was, was not known
From the best information we can gather
it must have been Mr. Alexander, who
lives at Trenton or on Big Creek in this
county. He had five negro women and
all were lost.
The saved from the St. Nicholas state
that all the ladies were provided with lile
preservers, of a worthless kind, and win
dow shutters, and they jumped into the
river with these; yet but one was saved.
They sunk immediately, before skiffs horn
the shore or Susquehanna could reach
them. Several persons had floated under
the boat and were clinging to the wheel,
when it gave way and may have killed
some, or they may have drowned without
loosening their hold, and are now holding
to the wheel.
The Helena Shkld of the 30th ult.,
says:
One enterprising individual made a nice
little speculation by the loss of the St.
Nicholas. That boat bad on board a num
ber of beef cattle, and some of them were ;
blown into the river uninjured or jumped i
overboard after the accident, and made j
their way to the shore. Eight of these j
animals landed a short distance below this
city, as we learn, when the man referred]
to caught them, sold the entire lot for 8150, |
and “ sloped ” with the funds. We did '
not hear the rascal’s name.

LATER FROM EUROPE,
ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA.’
New York, May 5.
The steamship Niagara arrived at Hali
fax to-day, bringing Liverpool dates of the

with a declining tendency. The quota
tions were—fair Orleans 8Jd ; middling
Orleans 7^d ; fair Mobile 7Jd ; fair up°
lands 7£d ; middling uplands 6 15-16d.
GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
The money market is generally un
changed. The Bulletin in the Bank of
England has decreased ,£545,000.
The news from the Continent is alarm
ing.
Austria has sent an ultimatum to Sar
dinia, demanding a disarmament and dis
posal of the volunteers. Three days has
been given for a reply, and in case of a
rxxfncol wAitld i.nl
Eighty thousand more Austrian troops
have been ordered to Tecino.
Austria has rejected England’s final
proposition.
French troops are moving towards Pied
mont.
The three days given by Austria to
Sardinia would expire on the 28th.
England telegraphed to Vienna a strong
protest against Austria’s menaces.
Austria refused to reconsider, and had
already prepared a manifesto to accompa
ny her declaration of war against Pied
mont.
The Easter holidays prevented the full
effect of the news in England.
Three per cents fell three francs on the
Paris Bourse.
England’s proposition to Austria was a
general disarmament, and for the admis
sion of the Italian States to the peace
Congress. Ail the powers except Austria
assented to this.
General Marmora had telegraphed the
Flench Government that the Austrian
army had made a significant movement on
the stratagetical line of Tecino, and he
feared an attack any moment.
Napoleon had held a council with his
ministers. The King of Sardinia also
held a council with his ministers.
The Constitutional announces that a
part of the army at Paris had been order
ed to be ready to march.
The English Journals think that the
last chance of peace has about vanished.
THE OVERLAND MAIL.
St Louis, May 4.—The Overland mail

a large number of Indians were killed.
This occurred after Mr. Bishop had given
them presents and permission to pass
through the country. Mr. Bishop retreat
ed, aud sent to Col. Hoffman for assis
tance, who was expected to arrive and
attack the Mohave villages about the 15th
of April.

Additional News per Steamer Niagara.
New York, May 6.—Paul Morphy on
the eve of corning to the United States,
played and won eight games simulta
neously blindfolded. Two Other games
were drawn after playing seven hours.
The London Herald’s Paris correspond
ent says: “ Preparations for war are now
being pusiieci lorwara wiin leverisn ra
pidity, notwithstanding the professions of
peace and willingness to disarm.”
The London Times says that prepara
tions for war continue in all quarters of
France, and troops are stil concentrating
at Lyons. A French army is to be col
lected on the Rhine frontiers, and nume
rous cavalry regiments were on the march.
Prussia.—The Arch-Duke Albrecht’s
mission to Berlin was entirely successful.
A Convention had been signed, whereby
Prussia agrees to send 28,000 men under
tbe-Prince Regent to the Rhine, in case
negotiations should fail. The contingent
force of Bavaria is to be increased to 60,
000 men, tlie eighth federal corps to 60,000
men, and other contingents are to be held
in readiness. The newspapers of Prussia
had been requested not to publish anything
respecting these preparations. The Prus
sian Government orders a corps d’arinee
of 70,000 men to be placed on a war foot
ing. These measures are said to be
purely on the defensive.
The Turin correspondent of the London
Times says: “ Count Cavour must fall if
war is not declared, and such an event
would possibly be the signal for insurrec
tions in various parts of Italy, and perhaps
he the cause of serious disturbances in
Piedmont, where 20,000 Italian volunteers
confidently await hostilities. The steam
ers on Lake Maggiore, with one exception,
have been placed at the disposal of the
Government.
The King of Naples still survives.
The Government of Rome had sent a
