Hornisce Ceverty.—While the prosecution of the {udian war is imbecile, ineffectual, and upon the whole thoroughly disgraceful to the couatry, some wearers vf the Uypited States shoulder straps are distinguishing themselves by acts of brutality which could nut be surpassed by the savages they ure sent to fight. At Fort Sedzwiek «stranger named Hendricks 1 pop reed ed for two persons in citizens’ dress, ,ad at their request, a bottle of whiskey.

Hendricks was stripped and fastened to sw rudely made cross. Iwo soldiers armed with plaited thongs, were order- ed to whip the unfortunate man, and, under the watchtul eye of Lieut. Luntz, they did whip him vigurously. *A broad, deep red wale marked the spot on which the lash had fallen, but in a second it was lost to sight by strokes which fell thick and fast va the unfortunate man. Gradually the deep red wales assumed a blackish color, aud in # short time crimson drops of blood rolled down the naked legs, filling his shoes, or were splashed over the the clothes of the spectators. Toward the seventy-titth stroke, the flesh sarowad the hips hung in shreds, as if rudely tora by au animal's claws. From the iniddle of the buck to with- ‘in six inches of the kaees, the budy was per- fectly raw and black.

None of the | prisoners were bound or blindfolded, nor was jany indignity offered them. Maximilian, | before being shot, recapitulated the causes that , brought him to Mexico. He denied the | authority of the court that tried and sentenced him, and hoped that his death would stop the further effusion of blood in Mexico. Just before he was ied out for the execution he called out to the sergeant of the guard and! gave him a handful of gold, and requested as a favor that the soldiers would. aim at his heart. His last words were, “ Poor Carlotta.’ Five balls entered his breast, but these did not kill him immediately, so two other soldiers were ordered to shoot kim in the side, in this mau ner he was despatched. Much dissatisfaction and grief was manifested by those who witnessed the sud scene. Miramon read from a paper which he had written that the only regret he felt in dying was that the Liberals should remain in power, and that they should point out his children as the children of a traitor, Mejia made no address, but he met his fate! quietly and bravely.
