Executed.—Samuel S. Tindall, who hadbeen tried and convicted of the murder of his wife, suffered the extreme penalty of the law, for that offence, on Friday last, between the hours of twelve and tw6 o’clock.It never has been our melancholy duty to witness'ohe who braved the terrors of death with more fortitutde or resignation. He pro-leased faith in the efficacy of the redemption, and said that he “believed that Jesus was his friend” The Rev. Mr. Mahoney, by request__©f the prisoner,* offered a feeling prayer, in which he powerfully beseigod the throne of Divine Grace in his behalf, at t he conclusion of which rising from his knees, and warmly grasping tbe reverend gentleman’s hand, he bade him meet him in hea\en. He ascended the gallows, betraying but little trepidation or unus urI alarm, and with calmness said, “Farewell, my dear friends—prepare to meet me in hea Ten.’’ The rope was then adjusted and the cap placed over his face. Being then asked by the Deputy if he was ready, he replied, “yes,” in a distinct and andible tone, and in a brief space of time thereafter was in the presence of his Maker- He died without scarcely a struggle. Every respect and attei.tion had been paid the prisoner by his kind hearted and worthy friends and relatives, and -his remains were decently interred.— Sumter Watchman, 18th int.
