65.-execution of W. B. Mumford.
New-Orleans, June 7, 1862.
Early yesterday morning it was announced that William B. Mumford, a man sentenced to death for tearing down the United States flag, hoisted on the Mint by Commodore Farragut upon the occupation of the city by the Union forces, would expiate his offence on the gallows.
Crowds were soon wending their way toward the Mint, where all doubts were dispelled by the ghastly spectacle of a gallows projecting from a window in the second story of that building, fronting on Esplanade street, directly under, as it were, the flag-staff that had borne the colors in question.
In the mean time the unfortunate man was awaiting his fate in the Custom-House.
On the evening of the fifth instant, three days ago, the order of execution was read to him by Deputy Provost-Marshal Stafford, he being charged with carrying into effect the details of the sentence in consequence of the illness of Provost-Marshal French.

On the twenty-fifth of May, Gen. Keyes's corps was placed under my command.
He was directed to advance to the Seven Pines, on the Williamsburgh stage-road, about seven miles from the city of Richmond.
My corps was ordered to cross the Chickahominy at Bottom's Bridge and occupy the position, two miles in advance of it, marked A and B on the accompanying map, and to watch the crossings of the White Oak swamp, with the woods beyond covering our left flank and rear.
On that day I crossed the river and occupied the positions indicated.
Gen. Keyes's corps advanced.
