Morgan Williams, of whom we have here tofore spoken, was executed pursuant to his sentence, on Saturday last. Previous to his execution he read a part of the narrative of his life, in a calm and collected manner, and the latter part, particularly, in distinct, impressive tone--with no little eloquence. He met his fate firmly, and was swung off at 25 minutes past one. precisely. It was the first acene of the kind we ever witnessed and tstrengthensus in our opinion, that pub- lie executions do no good---but, on the con- trary, are a source of evil to the community. We would have criminals executed in pri- vate, at midnight--and only by the telling of bell. or the sound of tho mufled drum, should the populace know that guilt was to be expiated and . human being sent out of the world.
