Another was brought, and the handcuffs were taken off. A largo white muslin dress was then put on him reach ing down to his feet. A white cap was also placed on his head. He asked to shake hands with all in the cell before his hands were tied, ' which he did. He shook hands with the jailor and said, "I hope God will bless you and your family, for you have treated mo liko a father. His hands were then tied by a rope to his sides, and at exactly 23 minutes past 10 o'clock pre ceded by a clergyman, and walking between the Sheriff and the Jailor, he passed through the main passage ol the prison on to the scaf fold. The rope was then adjusted on his nocei, and instantly, without speaking a word, tho Sheriff with" a hatchet cut the rope Uf which the weights were attached, when they fell; the rope that was around his neck, hero slipped ver the culprit's ear, ai.d he fell with a groan xrn the scaffold. A shriek of horror burst from all present. Mr. Hoagland, the Marshall, im mediately lifted Peter up, and although he ap peared stunned with tho shock, yet he stood unaided again under the gallows. He exclaimd when he was placed upon his feet, "The Lord have mercy on me." The Sheriff and Jailor then re-adjusted tho rope of death, and the beamrope being again cut, the weights fell; the prisoner jerked up, and in an instant with ono conclusive spasm of agony, he was launched into Eternity. Not more than 5 minutes elapsed from the time he left his cell, before he was in the arms of death. After hanging the usual time, the body was cut down, and placed in a plain, painted" common looking coffin, to bo de livered to his friends. CJeneral Harrison's lLast Shelter AN INTERESTING CASE. The following letter, which we copy from the New York Commercial, is touching and character istic, and will be read with interest. We annex also, the preliminary remarks of the New York ed itor. The case throughout is one which illustrates the character of the late President in the clearest and most commendable light. He was indeed a good old man, with a heart overflowing with the milk of human kindness. Now that he is gone, a thousand little incidents will be remembered and related, and all calculated to endear him still more to the hearts of the American People. He could not have died at a more opportune moment for his fame. " On Saturday, a hardy, weather beaten, but very respectable looking seaman presented himself to the Collector, at the Custom House, and inquiring for Mr. Curtis, said, 'General Harrison told me to give this letter into your own hand. He told me lo give his kind respects to Mr. Curtis, and said Mr. Curtis was his friend, and would be my friend.' Mr. Curtis opened the letter, and found it to be, from its date, one of the last, if not the very last letter, written by General Harrison. It bears date of the day when his illness commenced. The reader will see, from a perusal of it, that amidst all the cares and troubles of his high position, he was true to the humblest of his old friends. Tucker says the General made him come to the dinner ta ble with the great folks, and when he hesitated, and intimated that he had better go below for nis dinner, the General said, 'Tucker, you and I have been shipmates, and a long time together. You arc an honest man; come and eat your dinner with me, and come here again to-morrow morning and get your breakfast with me.5 Tucker says the General invited him to stay in Washington, and told him he would take care of him, but his wife and children being in New York, Tucker preferrsd to return. He says General H. lollowed him into the grounds on the east side of the White House, and then walked with him arm-in-arm that the General had no hat on, and when Tucker adverted to his liability to take cold, he Waived the remark by saying he was already un well. Having received the letter from the Gene ral, Tucker says he followed him to the door and -look him by the hand, saying, "go to my friend Mr. Curtis, and after you have been to him don't "forget to write to me that vou and your wife and children are happy again." Tucker says he had no money to come home by land, but he did not let the General know that, for he knew he would give it to him in a minute, and he did not wish to take money from the good old man who had been so kind to him. And so Tuck er went on board the schooner L. L. Sturgis, at Alexandria, and worked his passage home to INew "York. When he came to the custom house he had not been ashore thirty minutes, and having first heard the sad news of the death of his kind bene factor as he passed up the Old Slip dock, the abun dant tears that fell down his hardy ckeek testified that his is no ungrateful heart. We are glad to hear that Mr. Curtis immediate ly appointed Mr. 1 ucker an inspector of the cus oms. Washington, 26th March. 1841. "Dear Sir The beaier hereof, Mr. Thomas Tucker, a veteran seaman, came with me from 'Carthagena, as the mate of the brig Montidia, in the year 1829. In an association of several weeks 1 imbibed a high opinion of his character so much so that (expressing a desire to leave the sea) 1 in vited hmi to come to JNortii liend and spend the' remainder of his days with me. Subsequent mis fortunes prevented his doing so, as he was desirous to bring some money with him to commence farm ing operations His bad fortune still continues, having been several times shipwrecked within a few years. He says that himself and family are now in such a situation that the humblest employ- m-"it would be acceptable to him, and I write this to recommend him to your favorable notice. I am pors Jaded that no one posseoses, in a higher degree, she virtues of fidelity, honesty and indefatigable in dustry; ana, 1 might add, of indomitable bravery, jf that was a quality necessary for the kind of em ployment he seeks. "Yours very truly, "W, 11. HARRISON. '"Edward Curtis, Esq. "Collector, &c, New York." ItIAim5jGS, In Centreville, on the 18th inst., by Adam Keller, Esq.
