It was announced Monday that Peter Williams, a Belgian, and Abraham Cox, a negro, who had become Infamous as the "Albion Coopt er" murderers, were hung by the United States authorities at Auburn, Maine, on Friday last. The story of their terrible crime Is as follows: On trie 27th of Julv. 1857.

the brig Albion Cooper left Portland for the port of Cardenas, in the island of Cuba. At the time of leaving Portland she had on board the fWlowlng persons: Daniel R. Humphrey, master; Colling wood P. Smith, first mate; Quentin D. Smith, second mate; Thomas Fahey, an Irishman, about twenty-one years of age; Davis, (called by the prisoners Burns,) a seaman; Peter Williams, and Abraham Cox, the negro cook.

It appears from the statements of tie parties and other evidence that they receivediotremely rough usage from the first mate, and agreed to kill him; and in order to save themselves they were obliged to include in the slaughter the captain, the second mate, and Burns. In the confession made by the murderers they attempted to fasten upon each other the blame of exciting the murder lt will never be certainly known which of them first spoke of it Thev agree, however, as to the progress of the bloody work after It had been determined upon. We copy the statement of Williams: "One day I was at work on the chain cable, and Cox called me to the window of the cook's galley, and asked me to kill allhands. I had not thought ef anvthinsr of the kind before. I told him we couldn't do It.

He said we could get clear. He said we could do it that night while all were asleep. I told him I had no knives. He said he bad two razors and two knives told him we could do nothing with tbe razors unless tfeey were niaae rast. ZZZ my watch was up I went aft.

I took a broken knife that I had, and cut some sticks to fasten the razors. Cox came aft to bring me my supper, and I gave the sticks to him. I went to sleep soon after. At twelve I was waked, and had the watch with the Irishman. 1 sat on the look-out.

The Irishman carried water, when called, to the mate who was suffering from a wound. At one o'clock I went for ward and put my hand on Cox's window. Cox must have been awake, as he Immediately asked if it was Williams, and if everything was all right. He said he had the razors all ready. He came out to me and said we could put the ship out of sight and go upon an Island.

Cox siid if I would take two he wonld take one. Cox said the Irishman knew, it. Then be wenflnto the galley, and I picked up. a halchet and went aft. I met the Irishman.

He said, don't do it yet; the mate is not asleep. He went and looked into tlae captain's face, who was asleep on the quarter deck. Burns was in his bunk in the forecastle. The first mate was in his cabin, and the second mate asleep on the "poop" with a sail, covered over him. Cox came out of his galley, and shut and fastened Burn's, door "Tte Irishman might have prevented the murder if he had desired, as he went in to give the mate water several times.

Cox had a razor in one hand end a knife in the other. I saw him go towards the second mate, and pick up the sail. I had a hatchet in one hand and a razor in the other. I went to the captain, took down aa umbrella whSch cohered him, and struck him two blows with my hatchet en the neck. His head partially turned over, and he died without a struggle.

I went towards Cox, and the second mate bad just risen up his head and asked Cox what he wanted there. Cox said he came aft to trim the lamp. It wag not a very light night, and a lamp was burning In the rigging. I came up behind the second mate and struck him on the head with my hatchet. He cried "murder." Tbe mate heard him and rushed out of his cabin.

I met him at the door, and struck him oa the head with my hatchet. He turned back into his room, and I followed him. Hegrisped me around my body. We had a hard struggle. The mate was stronger than I was.

In trying to cut him with the razor, I cut myself. I finally managed to hit him on the head with my hatchet, when he let go, ran into the captain's state room, which opened out of the cabin, and fastened the door, i iiLeil came 0151 ot the cabin and met the second mate, whom I had left for CZ1 flalsh, running towards me holding both hands upon the bacic of his head. Cox and I went into the cabin and tried to open the state room door. The mnte cried, "Let me die in peace." We then went forward where the Irishman had been. He was sbouting to Burns I asked him what he was doing that for.

He said, I thought you was killed. I told him that the captain and second mite were dead. "We then considered what it was best to do with Burns, who still slept In the forecastle. Some one said he couldn't be trusted. The Irishman said that Burns laugbeS because Cox was knocked down.

Cox bad a Mg axe then. He unlocked and opened Barns' voor slowly. I followed, and the Irishman stood at the door with a lamp. Cox struck Burns with his axe, and went on to the deck. Burns jumped out of his bunk, and tried ts reach the upper deck.

Cox, as the Irishman said, knocked him back, killing him. I went on deck, threw down my hatchet, and washed the blood from me. Cox soon came up, and said he had finished the mate with two strokes of his axe It was calm the nexfday, and we kept at anchor. We saw two vessels. We rolled tbe bodies up In canvas and put irons with them.

The next night we got the anchor up and made sail, for tbe purpose getting Into deep water. It was calm, and we had to come to anchor. We threw the bodies overboard. The second night we slipped the cable, and worked into deep water. VV saw vessels every day.

Cox fixed things to make a fire in the state room. We repaired the boat and put some clothing, provisions, and a compass In it. We found four or five dollars in money in the cabin. An island was in At nWht we set fire to the vessel and left Tn the boat. We watched the vessel until it burnt down and sunk, when we started for the Island.

The next day we saw two vessels, and took down the sails of our boat. The day after we saw a schooner very near, and hove overboard all of our provisions but some bread. We agreed to say that we had been shipwrecked. We were finally taken up by the Black Squall. Tbe "Black Squall" was bound to Havana, and to this port the three men, Williams, Cox and Fabey, werecarried.

The twoformer pretended that tbey had been shipwrecked, but the irishman. Fatey, told the horrible story of the butchery and burning, as soon as he was on board the Black Squall. On their arrival at Havana all three were arrested and lodged in, Jail, and in a short timebothWilliams and Cox confessed the circumstances of the crime, although disagreeing in many particulars. They were sent back to Portland for trial, but on the passage home Fahey, tbe Irishman, died. The other two reached Portland, were tried, found guilty, and on Friday last were hung, a fate they richly merited.

Cox was quite advanced In years, and served on beard of a vessel In the war of 1812. Movements op U. S. Troops in Oregon. Ti Indian War.

A letter from San Francisco, dated August 4th, to the New York Herald, referring to the United States troops In Oregon, says: Troops are, however, marching from all parts the coast to Walla- VV alia. The detachments of the third artillery, which first left here, arrived safe at Pert Vancouver, where the men were armed for the field, and then proceeded up the Columbia river to Fort Dalles. Here they en camped, to the number of about 300, for some days, while the officers were mounted and the necessary preparations were made for entering the Indian country. The following were the officers of the four companies belonging to the division: Company A Lieutenants Robt. O.Tyler and Hylan B.Lyon.

Company Lieutenants George P. Ihrle'and James Howard. Company Lieutenants James L. White, Dunbar B. Ransom and Lawrence Kip.

Company Captain Erasmus D. Keys and Lieutenant Geo. F. R. Dandy.

It was expected that it would take them about twelve days to cross tbe country to tbat post, which Is Colonel Step-toe's As soon as a sufficient force is collected at that point the first column is to be formed of seven hundred men, under command of Colonel Wright, of the ninth Infantry They were to leave Fort Walla-Walla on the first of August, to proceed northward through the Spokan country lying west of the -Rocky Mountains, to meet the Indians who defeated Col Steptoe. As these tribes are now flushed with their victory, and can bring over 3,000 warriors Into the field, they may determine to meet our troops. If soj we shall hear accounts of a most sanguinary battle Another column of three hundred men, under command of Major Robert S.

Garnett, of the ninth Infantry, is to leave the Dalles August 15th, to march northward through tbe Simcoe and Natcher country lying east of the Cascade range. Colonel fourth infantry, under command of Captain Henry M. Judah, Is en route for Fort Vancouver. A company of seventy-five dragoons, under Lieut John T. Mercer, have arrived at Stockton, on their way to Oregon, from the southern countrv.

By the last steamer, went home Lieut. John S. Mason, third artillery, on recruiting duty; also the wife and children ot Captain Taylor, of first dragoons, who was killed in Sieptoe's defeat. By to-morrow's steamer, Captain J. W.

FURTHER FROM THE CAPTURED SLAVE BRIG. Her Identity Great Mortality Her Crew in Prison Visit to the Slaver- Scenes and Incidents on Board, We learn from the Charleston papers that tb.e real name of the captured slave brig Is the Put. nam. These letters are partially erased and coveted over by those of the assumed name Echo, and would doubtless have been restored, had snccess crowned the enterprise In which she was engaged when taken. She is of Baltimore build and of about 2S0 tons burthen.

As we statsd yesterday, Bhe was built at this port, but subsequently sold to a New York firm. The Charles, ton Mercury says: On the 6th March last she cleared from New Orleans with a captain, two matesjeight seamen, a cook, steward and one passenser. On the 5th July she shipped a cargo of 455 slaves on the west coast of Africa, at Kabenda, situated in latitude 5.30 Bosth, longitude 12 20 east. It is In Lower Guinea, In the southern part of the District of Loango, and not far from the river Congo or Zaire. These slaves were purchased in a circuit of 500 miles, and assembled at a basracoon near the point of shipment.

The brig set sail with them, and in forty-seven days made the Tin TPar.Viincr the rsoint of destination on the morning of the 21st instant. In this space of time one hundred and forty-one negroes naa died, leaving but three hundred and fourteen alive. A bay on "Cay Verde," one of the keys on the north coast of Cuba, latitude 23 30, longitude 80.20, was the landing place, where she was detected by the Dolphin. Lieut Maifitt had his suspicions that she was a slaver confirmed by obs7Ving that a number of launches ar 8hore had. their sails Bet to come out to the brig.

On boarding her no papers were found, but a signal of a black cross on a white ground, which had probably just been used to notify the party en shore by previous agreement. The crew, nineteen in number, professed to ba passengers without captain or officers, but Lieut. Maihtt selected the prisoner who appeared to be at the head of the enterprise, and took him aboard the Dolphin, with a sick seaman and fonvace t) tend him. The rest were brought to Charleston by Lt. Bradford.

Their names are as follows Dominica de la Brevera, Jose Francisco, R. I. Bates, John Basco, Alexander Rod-gers, Frank Cleary, John E. Capeil, Archibald Scott, George Plakcii; Antonio Almera, Thomas Under, Antonio Somez, Joe de Jave Vital de Miranda, Antonio Milanaoish, Wm. Henry Seno, Jose Gonzalez Seno.

One is a Greek, one ah Italian; some of them are Portugese, some Spaniards and some lish. Some of them talk about New York, but none now admit that they are have awhereaboutslnthis country. The Mercury adds: These smugglers are a desperate looking- set of Under the laws of IS 19 and 1820 they will be tried fir their lives as pirates sail, ing on an Amftrican bottom under the American flag. They were committed to jail on Saturday afternoon. Their trials will take place at Columbia, S.

before his Honor Judge Wayne, circuit judge. The court begins to sit the 4th Monday In 'November. Being curious to see the cargo and arrangement of the Echo, we obtained a permit from Dr. W. C.

Ravenel, the port physician, and with one or two others accompanied 'Lieut. Bradford In a small boat from the wharf. Wpon clambering up the side of the brig a s'range and startling sight presented itself a deck covered with native Africans In a s-tate of complets nudity, with rare Instances of a narrow strip of rag an inch wide round the waist These people were seated for the most part with their legs stretched out flat or drawn up in front or deubled up; some sqatted on their feet and hands. A few were standing- about and a few lying down. Nene were tied or fastened In any way.

The majority were very young, apparently from eight to sixteen years of age some youngerand some older; Bcarcely one, however, over twenty five. Some of them were able-bodied, good sized and la good case, but the greater part were half children only, weak and worn. Many were much emaciated, aid showed plainly the effects of their long and crowde passage in a confined ship. A few were evidently ill and soon to die. All were pure black In color except the dropsical, whose skins were tawny from disease.

Their hair is very short and crisp. Those who were wdl appeared curious and pleased, some of them oglitg and giggling and chattering, and otbers smoking tobacco but of stort clav pipes with cane stems, just as our own negroes do. Those ihit were thin and sick looked dull and brutish, but there was nothing wild or ferecions in the aspect. They lookd-s amiable and docile, and readily obeyed the commands cf the person who had charge of them. They sre great thieves, however, and appropriate wtatever they can on every occasion.

There we 2iG males and 61) who wre kept separate on deck and In the holds. The men ai boys were kept on tha forward deck and in the forward hold, which latter is 55 feet long, 19 feet wide in the broadest part, and narrow at the head, and 44 -Inches high, the floor being formed of loose board, moveable at pleasure. The hold for the women nd gir'sis behind this. It is of tte ssme height, 12 feet long and 19 wide. Under this temporary flooring is stared the provisions, consisting of riee, peas, and tbe water to drink.

Their fod Is boiled like "hoppln-john," pnt in buckets twice a day, at 10 and 4 o'clock, snd placed in the midst of circles of eight or ten each, and well guarded i0 prevent the strong negroes forii faking more than their share, although all are liberally allowed. A pint of water is given to each, morning and evening. Most of them sleep on deck, being placed in close order, spoon-fashion, on their sides, and not permitted to turn or move during the night. At day-light they are dashed with buckets of water to wash them off. They sin songs, clapping their bands and rocking their dies in time, and these songs have a great resemblance to some of our Several of the negro fellows exercise authority very much after the manner of our drivers, with airs or authority and ridiculous gesticulation and grimaces V.

l.i I vsLuciB were me -uig poi" nice gooa fellows, and with old breeches on too, obtained from the sailors. The captain of the hold understands their lingo, and says they are very averse to going back to Africa, as the United States' law requires. Our coast resembles that they come from and the group or pines opposite the city on the south, looks to them like cocoanut trees of their native Africa. On Sunday, under the direction of the United States civil efflcers, the negroes 306 in number, were taken by tbe steamer Gen. Clinch and conveyed to Castle Pinckney, In our harbor, where they will be guarded by a detachment from the garrison at Furt Moultrie.

As they passed the plank to gain the steamer's deck, they presented a strange and affecting sleht, nuny of them e-ing reductd to mere skeletons by the suffering and deprivations of the voyage. A Writer in the Charleston Courier objects to sending the slaves back to Africa, argues that they may be sold Into slavery, and says one man in that city has offered $50,000 in cash for one hundred of them. The Evening News of that city, however, takes bold ground In favor or their return, and says there is no other course, under the law, for the United States officials to pursue.
