town, except tlie four unfortunate men men most deeply interested, closed iheir eyes in sleep. The morning of the 16th of December, dawn- ed bright and clear on the city ana garrison- ot Charlestown, Va. From the hour of 7 in Ihe morning, every thing denoted the busy hum of preparations making to laftnch'fbur human beings into eternity, Go where you chor.se, nothing could be seen but military preparations. The town appeared quite different, from the day on which John Brown was the people of the surrounding country living been allowed the privilege, and Were y.resent. At an early hour, ay 9 o'clock, tbr.

troops detailed to guard the field of execution marched past the headquarters of General Taliaferro, and made quite a creditable appearance; prominent among this body of men was the "Woodis Rifienien," of Nor-. folk, who, comfortably clothed in neat over- coats kindly loaned them by Major Warner's command of Baltimore City Guards, looked and marched the very picture of true soldiers. All four of the condemned men rested well on Thursday night. They arose early yesterday morning, and after the usual ablutions, made a hearty breakfast. On leaving the jail, the negroes Green and Copeland, appeared firm, but before the carriage left the door, he former be -came very much They were guarded by some two hundred soldiers in front, rear, and each side.

The procession reached the. scaffold, the same on which Brown expiated his crimes, at 8 minutes after 11 o'clock. The culprits, after shaking hands with several persons they at once mounted the scaffold, accompanied by Captain Avis, the Jailor. lie Messrs. Waugh and Leacli, of the Methodist Church, and Rev.

Mr. NortlyW. the Presbyterian Church, and several otlfar genflemrm. They both look ed quite cheerful, and turning their heads a pearea to recognize tlieir. tnencts.

As soon as they stepped on the trap, the Rev." Mr. North made a feeling and appropriate prayer, in which i i he invoked the Almighty to receive the souls of the erring and repenlent men so soon to appear in His presence; he prayed to God to give them strength to bear the struggle of the second death to comfort them in tlieir dying hours, and as he believed they had turned their hearts from all sin, he humbly and devoutly prayed God to re-' ceive their souls. During the delivery of the prayer the doomed men appeared quite Copeland particularly so As soon as the pray-' er was concluded, which only lasted about ten minutes, Sheriff Campbell and Jailor Avis com-4 mertced putting on the white caps over their heads and adjusting the ropes, which occupied some minutes. i Green was the first man ready, and as soon as tho officers left him he reached the arm out' nearest Copeland, evidently desiring to give him a last farewell. When the officers had got through with Green, the kind heai ted Sheriff joiued their hands and.

they appeared to be loath to quit their grasp. As far as we could learn no word was spoken, and at 17 minu.es after eleven the Sheriff severed the rope which held the trap, and the two men were at once susended between heaven and earth. Shields Green, scarce-. ly made a struggle, but John A. Copeland died harder than any culprit we have ever seen end his days on the gallows.

For several inin-t ulesj he endeavored with his pinioned arms to grab at the rope around his neck; he raised his knees almost to a level with his body; swung to and fro, and in fa'ct gave every indication ol dy-, ing the most agonizing They were allowed to hang thirty-one min-, utes, when, after havjng been thoroughly examined by Drs.

As soon as the bodies of the negroes were taken down, the escort which brought them to the field returned to the jail for the white men.

Cook and Coppic. It appears that in passing sentence on the prisoners, the Judge ordered the negroes to be hung between the hours of 10 nnd 12, and the white men between the hours of i 12 and 8. At 13 minutes hefore one, the pro-t cession arrived at the foot of the gallows, ac-. companied by the same clergymen. Cook at once jumped from the wagon, whilst Coppic had to be assisted in alighting.

They were both dressed very ne.utl, wearing sboit cloaks and t- slouch hats. Their aims were pinioned and their cloaks were not removed. The same minister of the Gospel attended them, and as soon as they reached the fatal drop, the Uev. Mr. North advanced to the 'front of the scaffold and invok-t ed the Throne of Heavenly Grace, lor the two unfortunates about bidding adieu to the world, The prayer was short at the request of Cook, but couched in the most feeling language, its delivery occupying hardly more than a minute's lime.

We are not among those who think the Union in immediate danger, but we are heartily tired of the threats of dissolution, no matter from what quarter it may come. The American Republic should be the hope of the world. The destiny of such a country should be more glorious than our wildest imagination can conceive. But a year or two of discord follow ed by a year or two of civji strife would be sufficient to transform out niognificient heritage into a bye-word, a hissing and a contempt. In the South Carolina Legislature on the 12th instant, Mr.

Mr. Crit tenden is now in the seventy-fourth year of his age. JIo entered the Senate as early as 1817 forty-two years ago although he then served but two years. It is a singular fact that Mr. Crittenden has never been a member of the House of Representatives.

The prisoners were confined in the second story of the building, and they cut a hole sufficiently large to admit a man of much larger size, than either of them.

Then they jumped to the ground and made their way to a corner of the jaii yard, against which was placed the gallows used for Brown and on when they died to-day, piled up in such a way as to make it an easy matter to reach the top of the wall. Cook took the lead and acted very cautiously, lie placed his hat over the wall in Older to find out whether or not the euard was on duty, and he soon was convinced that he as there, for the sentinel on duty, named Thomas Guard not an inappropriate name on asking for the countersign and receiving no reply levelled his piece and fired, tho ball going through. the hat. The 'prisoners then retreated into the yard, and the firing of a gun in the immediate vicinity of the jail at once created an alarm.

Mr. P.

Duff, Merchants' College, Pittsburgh: On opening this institution 1 found that the bu siness men of the city had a decided piefarence for your system of Book-keeping. therefore, adopted it, to ihe exclusion of Manuscripts and nil other Systems. Many of the ablest and most experienced accountants in Louisville have examined Hai pec's enlarged edition of your work, and say that they met with no other work on the subject containing so much practical infor mal tou, expressed so clear and lorcible a manner. Our students express the greatest satisfaction with their rapid improvement. I ani entirely convinced that an equal degree of proficiency can never be attained by students who are taught by the Manuscript System.

In fact that system is now recognized as an exploded- humbug bv most business men throughout the West.
