TUESDAY MORNING. APRIL 9, 1861
EXECUTION OF CLIARLES I
Translated from the French of Guyot.
Early in the morning, in a chamber at White
hall, by the side of the bed where Ireton and
Harrison were yet sleeping together, Cromwell,
Hacker, Huncks, As !ell and Phayre, had met to
finish the last act of this redoubtable proceed
ing, by writing the order which was to be
addressed to the executioner. "Colonel," said
CromWell to Huneks, "you must write and sign
it." Huneks obstinately refused. " What an
obstinate grumbler !" said Cromwell. "In
truth, Colonel Huneks," said Astell to him,
"you make me ashamed; here is the vessel
entering the port, and vou wish to furl the
sails before dropping the anchor." Huncks
persisted in his refusal. Cromwell seated
himself muttering, wrote the order, and pre
sented it to Col. Hacker, whb signed it with
out objection.
Almost at the same moment, after four hours
profound sleep, Charles aiose from his bed.—
"I have a great affair to finish," said he to
Herbert. "It is necessaay that I rise early,"
and he placed himself at the toilet. Herbert,
being troubled, combed him with less care,—
" Take, I pray you," said the king to him,
"the same care as usual. Although my head
will not remain long upon my shoulders, I wish
to be dressed to-day as a bridegroom." Whilst
dressing, he asked for another shirt. " The
season is so cold I might tremble ; some persons
might attribute it to.fear. Ido not wish such
a supposition to. be possible." The day had
scarcely dawned `when the Archbishop arrived,
and commenced the religious exercises. As he
was reading in the 27th chapter of the Gospel
of Matthew, the recital of the passion of Jesus
Christ—" My lord," asked the king, "have
you chosen that chapter as the most appropri
ate to my situation ?" "I pray your 'majesty
to remark that this IS the gospel for the day,
as the calendar proves." The king appeared
profoundly touched, and continued his prayers
with renewed ardor. Towards ten o'clock some
one knocked gently at the door of the chamber.
Herbert remained motionless. A second knock
was heard, a little louder than at first. "Go
see who is there," said the king. It was Col.
'Hacker. " Cause him to enter," said he.
"Sire," said the Colonel, in. a low and
trembling voice, "it is time for you to go to
Whitehall. Your majesty will have an hour to
rest there."
" I will go in a moment," replied Charles.—
"Leave me."
_ .
Hacker went out. The King recovered him
self in a few moments, when, taking the Arch
bishop by the hand, "come," said he, "let us
go."
Herbert opened the door. Hacker warned
him for the second time, and he descended into
the park, which he must cross in order to go
to Whitehall. Several companies of infantry
were waiting theresforrning a double row on
bis route. A detachment of Halberdiers were
marching in advance, with colors flying. The
drums were beating, and the noise drowned ail_
voices. Oa the right of the king was the Arch
bishop; on the left, with the head uncovered,
was Colonel Tomlinson, commandant of the
guard, and Charles, touched by his regret, re
que*ted him not to leave him till the last mo
ment. He conversed with him on the route ;
spoke to him of his burial and of the person to
whom he desired his body to be confided, with
a serene air, brilliant look and firm step, walked
even more quickly than the company, aston
ished at their slowness. One of the officers on
duty,flattering himself without doubt to trouble
him, asked him if he had not conspired with
the Duke of Buckingham for the death of the
king, his father. "My friend," replied Charles,
with disgust and sadness, "if I had no other
sin than that, I take God to witness, I assure
you, that I will have no need of asking pardon
of him." Arrived` at Whitehall, he slowly as
cended the stairs, crossed the great hall, and
gained his chamber, when they left him atone
with the Arshbishop, who was ready to give
him communion. Some independent ministers,
Nye and Goodwin, among others, came to knock
at the door, saying " they wished to offer their
services to the king."
"The king is at prayers," replied Juxon.—
They insisted.
"Well, then," said Charles to the Archbishop,
"thank them in my name for their offer, but
tell them frankly that after having so often
prayed against me without any cause, they
shall never pray with me during my agony.—
They cap, if they wish, pray for me; I will be
thankful."
They retired, the king kneeling, received the
communion, and rising with vivacity, "Now."
said he, "let. those rogues come. I have par
doned them from the bottom of my heart. I
am ready for all, that is about to happen me."
They had prepared his dinner ; he did not
wish to eat anything. "Sire," said Juson,
" your majesty has fasted for along time ; it is
cold ; perhaps, on the scaffold, some. feeble
ness—"
" You are right," said the king, and eat a
piece of bread and drank a glass of wine.
It was one o'clock. Hacker knockcd at the
door; Juxon and Herbert fell on their knees..
" Rise, my old friend ," said the king to the
Archbishop, extending his hand. Hacker
knocked again. Chaides caused the door to be
opened. "Lead on," said be, " I follow you."
They advanced along the banqueting hall be
tween two rows of soldiers. A crowd of men
and women, who had rushed there at the peril
of their lives, were standing motionless behind
the guards, praying for the king as he passed.
The soldiers, silent themselves, did not disturb
them. At the extremity of the hall an opening,
cut the evening before in the wall conducted to
a level with the scaffold, hung in black. Two
men stood near the axe, in sailor's clothes and
masked. The .king arrived with a haughty
head, casting on all sides his glances, seeking
the people in order to speak with them, but, the
soldiers alone covered the place ; no one could
approach. He turned towards Juxon and Tura
" I can scarcely be heard only by
you," said he to them. "It will be to you,
then, that I shall address some words." He
finally addressed tot hem a little discourse which
he had prepared. Grave and calm even to cold
ness, only proper, to sustain that he had been
right, and that he hatred of the right of the
sovereign was the true cause of the unhappiness
of the people. The people ought to have no part
in the governmeht, and on this condition alone
would the kingdom find again peace and its
liberties. Whilst he spoke, some one touched
the axe. He turned quickly, saying, "Do not
harm the axe. It will cause me more pain ;"
and his discourse finished, some one else ap
proached it. " Take care of the axe, take care
of the axe !" repeated he in a tone of affright:
The most profound silence reigned. He put on
his head a silk bonnet, and addressed himself
to the executioner : " Does, my locks trouble
you 2"
" I pray your majesty to arrange them under
your bonnet," replied the man bowing.
The king arranged them, with the aid of the
Archbishop. "I have for my part," said he to
him, " in taking this trouble, good cause and a
merciful God."
Juxon—" Yes, sire, there is only one step to
take; it is full of trouble and anguish, but of
little duration, and think that it causes
you to make a great journey. It• transports
you from earth to heaven."
The King—" I pass from a crown corruptible
to a crown incorruptible, where I shall have no
kind of trouble ;" and turning to the execu
tioner—"ls my hair fixed?" he took off his
mantle and his St. George, gave his St. George
to the Archbishop, saying, "Remember," took
off his coat, put up hie cloak again, andlookinst
at the block—" place it in such a, manner as it
will be very firm," said he to the executioner.
"It is very firm, sire."
The King—" I will make a short prayer, and
when I extend my hands, then—." Ile recov
ered himself, and spoke a few words in a low
voice, raised his eyes to heaven, and kneeling,
placed his head upon the block. The execu
tioner touched his locks in order to arrange
them again under his bonnet; the king thought
he was going to strike.
"Await the sign," said he to him.
"I await it, sire, with the good pleasure of
your majesty."
The moment after the king extended his
hands ; the executioner struck—his head fellat
the first blow. "Behold the head of a traitor!"
said he, showing it to the people. A long and
loud groan arose around Whitehall ; many
persons rushed to the scaffold to dip their hands
in the blood of the king. Two bodies of cav
alry advanced in different directions, slowly
dispersing the crowd. The scaffold remained
solitary. They took away the body; it was
already enclosed in a shroud; Cromwell wished
to see it, considered it attentively, and lifted
up the head with his hands, as if to assure
himself that it was indeed separated from the
body: "It was a body well constituted, and
promised a long life !"
TIVENTY-FIVE
BY ADRIENNE
Twenty-five! When I was a child—and it
hasn't been so long sin ce'eitber—an unmarried
lady of that age was accounted an "old maid."
Now, thanks to the greatest lady in these United
(?) States (who, by-the-by, was sensible enough
not to marry as soon as she escaped from long
aprons and the nursery,) times have changed
Very 'materially. Who dares dub Miss L. an
old maid? And there's her beautiful rival in
the beau monde, Mrs. Senator To., who didn't
marry till most women would have been de
cidedly passes, yet, who ever dreamed of apply
ing the opprobrious epithet "old maid" to her
ladyship ? There's luck in leisure," says the
proverb, and didn't she exemplify it? Bah! its
positively plebeian to catch up the first man
who may happen to propose. The only patri
cian marriages are those which occur late in
life. Besides, I don't see but that women marry
to as groat, if not greater advantage, as they
advance in years, than they do in the freshness
of their girlhood. Not always for love, perhaps,
but for more substantial reasons—an establish
ment, or position in society, or even for—but .I
won't slander my sex, even in the privacy of
my thoughts, by admitting that they ever marry
merely to escape "014 Maidenhood." "Love"
forsooth ! . Professions of that sort, after a
certain Age, say twenty,
.are as grand a humbug
as Bpirituallsm, Black Repuiilicanism, or any
other ism, having its origin in the pseudo Puri
tan North.
Twenty-five! I little expected to be Miss
Grant at this age, but I'm not the first woman
who has been disappointed in her matrimonial
calculations not by a great many! Thank for
tune! Father time has dealt very leniently
with me, and, personally, I've changed but little
since the palmy days of my debut. lam rather
more rubicund and embonpoint about the face,
an advantage, T think, since it makes me look
more juvenile and good hummed, and particu
larly is it advantageous if I am to be an old
maid. If such is my destiny (it isn't manifest
yet,) Heaven defend me from being one of those
skinny, thin-visaged, peak-faced, long-necked,
vinegary, crab-apple looking ones!
Twenty-five I: I suppose I might as well "own
up," to my own heart at least. I can distinctly
recollect the appearance of Daniel Webster and
President Harrison in 1840, though I wouldn't
have this mooted abroad for the world—men
are such blockheads about hair-brained school
girls. My feelings are as young as they ever
were, but I must confess to certain envies, and,
perhaps, slightly unamiable emotions on some
points. For instance, sister's children worry
me almost to death, and then I can't take Tom's
teasing as well as I once did. I verily believe
everybody imposes upon me more than formerly
(I am beginning to bear some of the burdens
of old maidenhood before my time,) yet I dare
not complain ; if I do the cry will be, " Oh,
she's growing cross and old rnaidish, you
know !" I'm been subject to distressing, fits of
ennui all my life, yet I dare not say now "I've
got the blues," for the ready response will be,
"Yes, of course. You want a husband !" As
if matrimony were a spvereign panacea for all
the woes woman is heir to. If lam single, it's
my own fault, for I might have married once,
a really dignified, intellectual, accomplished
gentleman, too. I've sometimes thought I was
a goose that I didn't, but I reckon on the whole
that it's best that I discarded him. Let me see
—that was five years ago, and now—ahem !
I would have been a raving, stark, staring ma
niac, confined in one of those excellent asylums
located at Staunton or Williamsburg; or, if I
had escaped madness, my location at the Fede
ral Capital just now would have been scarcely
better—frightened. out of my wits by General
Scott's military despotism. Ah ! I've learned
since then that there's more corruption at the
national metropolis than that which exists
among politicians and the treasury difficulties.
But 1 will complain, no mat ter what they say.
I'm twenty-five to day, and I mean to enter a
protest against certain grievances, and to secede
forthwith. So long as I say nothing,
continue to subject me to all manner of annoy
ances. I ought to have signed my declaration of
independence four years' ago, but I didn't have
" spunk" enough. Aggression has been addei
to egression, and l've yielded and " backed
down" rather than inaugurate hostilities with
the constituted authorities. But I intend to
submit no longer. Forbearance has ceased to
be a virtue, and I cannot and shall not endure
oppression another day. I believe in the right
of secession, and I mean to exercise my prero
gative. This very day I intend to draw up an
ordinance, and have it duly signed and attested,
and if anybody is weak enough to attempt
coercion, I'll " war to the knife and the knife to
the hilt !"
I do think some old girls are the wickedest
creatures—so artful and designing. Before I'd
lend myself to such deception as they practice,
and for such purposes—to captivate silly boys
go without a husband till the age of Me
thuselah. Now there's that hateful old hag,
Hannah Lester. She's at least five years my
senior, but what should she do last summer but
shave her hair and don a jockey hat, and all to
catch Willie Ware. But she did n' t, thank Heaven.
I wouldn't have had the dear boy " taken in"
on any account, for his poor dead mother's sake
There's Jane Gordon, too; she went to school
ag lin after having been in society ever so long,
and made a fresh debut. She played her cards
better, and won the game—that is, Frank Ash

that ever I knew. Not that I loved him, how-

mirror, and I go forth conquering and to con
quer.
Well, he's gone—the dear, good old soul!
What a sensible, fascinating fellow he is, too.
His visits always put me in such an agreeable
flutter. He is reputed a great flatterer, but the
compliments he addresses to me he meand.
Moreover, what care I for his flattery, so he
proposes? I have said l'd never marry a man
with children, and when• Somebody married
Somebody else, (I'm afraid to call names, for
"walls have ears,") that I never could marry
for love, but I reckon if I get Lieut. Ware, I'll
do both. I might marry that bashful old bache
lor, Grafton, but that would be for an estab
lishment, and I'm not reduced to that extremity
yet.
A bright idea has just struck me : I mean to
be a literary woman, and write for the Family
Journal. (Lieut. W. takes that.) Of course I
shall be incog., but I will contrive to let him
into the secret accidentally. I have decided
talent for story telling, and would have figured
before the public in that capacity long ago but
for the odium of being called a " blue stock
ing." Fortunately for my schemes. Lieut. W.
is an intelligent man, and as such, hasn't that
horror of strong minded women which most
men entertain. Their dislike is easily ex
plained ; they're afraid of marrying their su
periors, and I can't say I blame them. When
a woman is her husband's superior, don't she
lead him a chase ? I shall affect the style of
Fanny Fern. That's the sort to take the men,
for all they profess to admire womanly delicacy
so cinch. It may not be good policy, in a gen
eral way, to imitate the Yankees, as they're
rather below par here in the South; but I'm not
a Yankee, nor a widow, nor divorced; so I'll
risk it anyhow.
But if I shouldn't succeed with the lieuten
ant ? Why, if he can't •be hooked, somebody else
can. I've heard of many romantic matches in
in my time—particularly among old maids,
which lam not, however. Wasn't that great
and good man, Judson, first induced to seek
the acquaintance of Fanny Forrester by read
ing one of her works? And didn't she, after
having victimized the old-man, write thus:
"Here closely nestled by thy side,-
Thy aim around me thrown,
I ask no more. 7,
I reckon not. She would have been a very
unreasonable woman if she had. I, a woman
of more moderate desires, and, it may be, more
moderate attainments, would be content with
much less, with a Beecher, for example, hut
for his abolition and latitudinarian proclivi
ties.
Any woman has abundant encouragement to
embark on a literary career, when she reflects

Forrester, there were the lamented L. F. L. and

and our own Virginia, the gifted Marion Har
land found a clerical companion, (exactly such
a man as I'd like, barring one or two doctrinal
errors,) worthy of her genius; and very re
cently, the sentimental Matilda has found a
mate to whom she may sing and poetize to her
heart's content. And last, but not least of this
innumerable company of worthies, has not the

(to say nothing of her patronymic) the names

ALLEGED FORGERY OF VIRGINIA. STATE BONDS.
The Arrest of a man named Elliot, in New York,
charged with forgery, was announced on Mon
day. The. Tribune says :
It appears that about three weeks since the
prisoner, then in Washington, sent to Messrs.
Livermore, Clews & Mason, brokers at No. 29
Wall street, some Virginia State bonds to nego
tiate. This was done, and the money duly
forwarded to Elliot. A few days since the
same firm recoived. $3,500 worth of Vir g inia 6s
from the same person, with orders to h old the
proceeds arising from their sale subject to the
order of Elliot. These latter drafts presented
a suspicious appearance, and on being compared
with zennine Virginia bonds at various banks
they were pronounced forgeries. On Saturday
Messrs. Livermore, Clews & Mason received a
draft from Elliott for $l,OOO on account of these
bonds. This draft they refused to honor, but
alleged some informality, and immediately
notified the detective police. Shortlyafterward
Mr. Elliott presented himself at the office of
Messrs. Livermore & Co., and expressed great
indignation that his draft had not been paid.
Ile was immediately taken into oustody by the
above officers. The forged drafts, at first sight,
strongly resemble the genuine, but a compari
son with them soon renders the fraud appa
rent.
The forged bonds are lithographed, neatly
executed, but lacking the color of the genuine,
which are quite black. The paper is of a
poorer quality, and the signature, 11. R. C.
Driukhard, in the coupons, differs materially
from that gentleman's handwriting. These
forgeries are dated, "Richmond, Va., July 1,
1851," and are made payable in this city. It
is supposed that a great quantity of them have
been manufactured, and, doubtless, many of
them have been circulated. The prisoner for
warded to Messrs. Livermore, Clews & Mason
several letters from Washington, in which he
was introduced as it. M. Barbour. On being
arrested he gave his name as Elliot, and per
sists in calling himself by that name. Be says
that he received the bonds from perfectly
responsible persons, supposing them to be
genuine. De disclaims any felonious intention,
and asserts his ability to prove his entire inno
cence of the transaction.
Mr. 8. Hart, of El Paso, Texas, one of the
commissioners from that State to New Mexico,
has offered. (the Montgomery Nail announces)
a loan of $200,000 to the Confederate States
without interest, to be re-paid at the conveni
ence of the government. Mr. Hart proposes to
have the amount doubled by his friends, if
such a step shall be necessary.
