Warrant for the Execution of Lutz
In June, 1S5G, a muderous affray occur
red upon Wewd street, iu this city, during
which a young man named Richard O'Leary
was stabbed in the back, from the effects cf
which he died in a few hours. John Latz,
the son of a woithy citizen, and also a young
man, was suspected of having dealt the fatal
blow, and his subrequent flight confirmed
this suspicion. He remained absent for over
a year, during which time he traveled over
the greater part of the United States. He was
finally arrested iu St. Louis, and in July,
1857, he was brought to this city, anl com
mitted to jail upon a charge of murder, the
grand jury naving found a true bill against
him, in his absence. In December following
he was placed upon trial, and upon the last
day of the year, after a careful and impartial
trial, a jury e-f Lis country declared him guil
ty of murde r.
The piisoncr, however, wa3 not without
hope. He strenuously denied his guilt, and
alleged that mortal wound had been indicted
by auothcr hand than his, and be even went
so far as to give the name of the alh?ged mur
derer. His friends, who are both numerous
aud influential, aided by talented counsel. car
ried the case before the Supreme Court but
as they depended mainly upon a technical do
feet iu the indictment, the writ of error avail
ed them uothing, and the judgment of tha
Court below was affirmed. wLich fact is gen
e;ally ku own t our readers.
Being thus d vested of every ray of hope,
the prison- r had to ructumb to his destiny,
and lor months and weeks he has been await
ing the arrival of the warrant which shculd
fix a limit to his days, aud sever his thread
of life. It is with feelings of paiu that -wo
chronicle the arrival of the death warrant,
which passed iuto the hands of Sheriff Pat
terson yesterday. T!e following i3 a copy

General Walker.
What has bicome of Gen. Walker, of Ni
caragua notoriety? Wc have heard little or
nothing in relation to him for months. Has
he abandoned Lis scheme of adventure and
invasion, or is he quietly engaged in arrang
ing some still more formidable enterprise.
The latter, judging from th antecedents of
the man, is lik ly to be the case. He is
restless, ambitious and determined, and tlie
field before him, as well in Central America
as Mexico, abounds with tempations. Mou
to almost auy extent can readily be obtained
in this country, no matter how wild or haz
ardous the undertaking, but not "53 money.
This, we believe, is the serious drawback. If
the General could ouly raise $100,000 or
200,000, he would soou bo abla to rally
round him quite a formidable army. But aa
