ARREST OF FIVE DRUSE CHIEFS—EXECUTION
01" THE MURDERER OF THE MISSIONARY GRA
HALL—MOSLEM SETTLEMENTS BURNT—ARI).
EL-KADER RECEIVES A PRESENT mum PRESI
DENT BUCHANAN.
We find in the Boston Traveler another in—
teresting letter dated Beirut, Syria, Sept“ 23,
from which we copy the following :
The arrival and the arrest of Said Beg Jum‘
blast with some of his compeers, are indica
tions of the most. vigorous measures against
the Druses. The five chiefs came into Beirut.
with music and great display, but. they were
coldly received Ly the foreign minister, who
did not invite them to be seatcdorto smoke
the pipe of ordinary courtesy. After a few
interrogatories he told them to go until they
were called for, and without any of the usual
salumtions so common in the East, even be
tween masters and servants, he dismissed these
proud, fierce warriors from his presence.
Yesterday they were placed tinder arrest,
and are now in close confinement. This re
sult was evidently not anticipated by the Begs,
who are now cut. off from flight and all hope
of escape. Their followers who remained in
the Lebanon, unwilling; to venture within the
reach of Fund Pusha’s arm, have now begun
to overrun the Moslem villages, near Damas
cus, and reports have been received this morn
ing of the destruction of two large Moslem
settlements, in which the houses were burned,
the property carried ofl“, and the inhabitants
massacred. Should this policy become gem
oral and :he Druses determine to fight. for their
existence, Lebanon will see bloodcr sights
than have hitherto transpired. ' The chief war
riors and great captains have not. surrendered
themselves, aml will be able to shed much
innocent blood, and occasion much trouble
and confusion before they can be subdued or
checked.
The departure of Fund Pasha. yesterday will:
a. large detachment of the Turkish army for
Siden, with n. view of going to Hesheyia, is :l-n
indication that the Turks are quite prepared
for the Druse campaign, and that. Fund Pasha.
will himself'take the field. He is a. lush in
himself, and not a poor soldier, as his campaign
in Greece will testify. He is as much of :1.
statesman and politician as he is _a. general.
From one of his proclamations, it appears
that Fund Pasha. has in view we restoration of
the Christians to their homes. Should the
Christians be thus enabled to rebuild their
houses, plant their crops, bury their dead, and
regain their foothold in the Dmee districts of
Mount Lebanon, we may look for their re-cs
tablishment in their homes upon a better basis
than before, as in all probability théy will have
Christian instead of Druse Governors.
Information has just been received that four
teen out. of the thirty-seven Drnse chiefs have
surrendered themselves to the government,
while the others, determined on resistance, are
doing all the mischief in their power to Chris
tian property.
Guards from the American Congulate have

of such Amerieaié’as are exp'osecftd the fury“
of the rebellious fugitives, and as the Dru~es
are determined to fight to the death, senguinary
conflicts may be expected bet-ween them and
the French army. as WOll as the Arabs and the
government, troops.
01=
I learn that. previous to the appearance of
Fuad Pasha’s proclamation, the Druses sent :1.
deputation to Abd-el-Kader to ask his aid. rind
advice in their (imc of trouble. “How many
fighting men have you,” replied he. “About.
thirty thousand," wasthe answer. "No more?”
“Perhaps a few more, but about thirty thou
sand.” “Well,” said he, “I had overone Imu
dred thousand \velLtrainerl soldiers in Algeria,
and was unable to contend with the army 01'
France. My advice to you is, surrender your
selves at once, and then I will exert 22.11 my in—
fluence in your behalf.” The Drnses went.
away heavy hearted. Some took his advice,
others did not. Those who followed his sug
gestion may now be seen looking through the
barred windows of their prison room :it the
barracks, awaiting their day of trial. What a
humiliation for these proud mountain chiefs.
Letters from DanmECns state that. the trials
are still going on. Nine Moslems were hung
last week, and others have been condemned to
death. One of the number was a Druse who,
had been at the massacre of Hasbeyia, another
was the actual murderer of the Irkh mission
ary, Mr. Graham.
Upon the reception of the present of the pis
tols, from the President, Abrlrcl-Knder called
at. once upon Mr. Meshaka, the U S. consular
agent an Damascus, to express his high appre—
ciation of the gift.
I see many reports in American papers of
30,000 women having been carried away from
Damascus by the Arabs and Keurds. The fact.
is that. there were only 25,000 Christian inhabi~
tants in the city. It. is possible that a few lum
dred were thus carried away, posslbly a. thou
sand, but probably much less would be more
in accordance with the. truth.
There is a great deal of sickness at present
in Damascus, and it. is feared that or; account.
of' the‘ great number of unburied dead bodivs
under the walls of the ruined houses, plague
and pestilence will ravage the city. The Brit.-
ish consul makes a. loud appeal for medical aid.

and Confrmsz'on of (Jordan the Murderers—James
A. Gordon, the murderer of John Gums, who
was hanged at Denver City on the 6111 instant,
confessed his guilt, but. alleged that be com
mitted the. deed While intoxicated, and was not.
sensible of what he was doing at. the time.—
The circumstances of the murder, and subse
quent arrest and execution of the culprit, cre
ated unparalleled excitement in the mountains.
()n the morning of the execution Gordon ex
pressed himself several times as willing to be
shot, and hoped some friend would shoot him;
he did not. want to he dragged to the gallows
and there hung up like n dog. “If some one
will only shoot me I can die content,” he said.
The clergy culled uponhim during the morning,
and religious services Were performed in the
room in which the condemned was confined, in
which he appeared to tulic o deep interest.
At. three o’clock Sheriil' Midtluugh entered
the room, and told Garcon that all was ready,
and he must. not on his coat, and go. The
prisoner said he preferred to ride to the gal
lows in his shirt. sleevr-s, and then asked the
sheriff if he had personally examined the gal
lows. to ascertain if it. was rightly constructed
and strong, for he wanted to die quick. The
ofliciol assured him thatall was right. They
then descended the stairs into the street. to
gether; unassisted, (iordon entered the buggy,
stood up in it a. moment, gazing around upon
the crowd, and then sat. down. There were no
monoclcs upon his limbs. The sherifl‘ seated
himself beside the prisoner, the order was
given, and the gourd formed in line, and moved
on towards the place of execution at. a slow
pace. 0n the Way Gordon recognized a friend.
on the street, waving his hands towards him,
and, attempting to smile, burst into tears.—
When he came in sight of the gallows, with the
rope swinging from it, he asked the sherifl" if
he was going to attend to the hanging himeelf.
Middough answered in the negative, saying
he had appointed a deputy to do it. Gordon
than insisted upon his doing it: "Stand by me
now; this is my last bear upon earth. I prefer
that. you should hang Inc—don’t. leave it. for
another, a. German, or anybody that hates me."
Moved by his earnest. supplications, the sheriff.
finally consented to perform the unpleasant
duty. Theprizoner mounted the pluttorm with
ahurried step, accompanied by the clergy; all
knelt in prayer.
The condemned then addressed the people,
thanking his friends for their kindness. and
hoped they would take a. lesson from his dread—

among drinks, assuring théin’ that he was a re

would have proven it. to them ; but; on it. was,

quietly dispersed.
J-'.-u_:rs roe THE Coxsmnunmz“ or NORTHERN
Maoxu moan—One of the largest dealers in ma
chinery in the South left this city a few eve
nings :Ing forhome,without making a. single
purchase. This gentleman has been traveling
through the North and West for the past two
months, for the purpose of making his collec
tions of machinery for the coming season ; but,
realizing the effects which the late elections in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana would produce
upon his business in the South—knuwmg that
his ordinary sales of Northern machinery to his
Southern customers mustbe materially reduced
—he has not deemed it. prudent to hazard the
purchase of a dollar‘s worth north. of the Ohio
river. The purchases made by this gentleman,
in this oin alone, for the six months previous
to the first. of July last, amounted to over one
hundred «mi/(fly tr’wuaand dollars. He s»ys he
will be obliged, in order to insure himself
again st heavy losses, to confine his inveatments
entirely to Southern manufactures.
It; is well known that. since the crissis of 1857
manufacturers of machinery in the free States
have been obliged to rely almost emirely 'upon
the South for the sale of their goods. The plain,
stubborn fact is. thousands of hard working
mechanics, who have found employment in the
heavy establishments of the Northern States,
will be obliged, in the event. of Mr. Lincoln’s
election, to surrender siiuatious upon which
they hev'e relied for the support 0! themselves
and their families. We state only what. every
man conversant. with the real [Eu-ts in the ease
knows to be true; and among the _sutl'orers, it;
is needless to say, the Queen City Will rank No.

Such are some of the obvious, inevitable con—
