NEWPORT NEWS

BROUGHT BACK-The young soldier, George Nice, who deserted from the Barracks on Monday last, and who was subsequently found by some of the police officers of Cincinnati at the Palace Garden, and taken to the Ninth street Station house, was delivered into the hands of a couple of officer, dispatched by the commandant at the Barracks, the same night.

As a matter of course, the punishment due to deserters in thee war times will be meted out to him and it is possible we may see in Newport a military execution.
