Approaching Triple Execution of the Chesapeake Pirates at Trincess Anne, lid. Tho Dcsperato Crimo which They are to Suffer Death, for From Our Own Corresp undent. Wilmington, l'cl., Nov. 30. On Friday next, December 4, there will be a gain day at Trincess Anne, the county seat of Somerset county, Mstylaud. Po frequently is the scaffold brough Into ue In that desperu'e region, that It i9 kep landing ell the jear rouud, and, moreover. U made laree ei ongh to swing five miserable Lumen creatures Into eternity at one aod the same time. It Is said, alo, that the scaffold stands on open ground near the jail, In full view of such as choose to witness its practical opera, tion. If this be true, a grand concourse of the nnterrlticd and unreconstructed denizens of the town and Us vicinity may be anticipated on Fridav next, for on that day three men will suffer the extreme penalty of tho law, and each of the three is a negro. Ihe circumstances attending tUe crime for which tbey are to be executed were a? follows: On the afternoon of Monday, March 30, 1868, the oyster pungy Brave was seen by several per sons In the waters of the Chesapeake, with everything going right, to all appearances. The pungy was in command ot Captain Benjamin F. Johnson, one half owner of the vessel. John ion was a white man, as was also Henry Canon, the mate. In addition to these there were four colored men on board, as assistants, named William Wilson, WillUm Wells, Frank RouuJs, and George Bailey. The pungy, which belonged at Cribfield, Maryland, was engaged in dredging foroyitersat the time mentioned. Subsequent developments, aid the confessions of two of the bands, show that the lour assailed the captnin, and after mutilating him horribly threw h:m oveibbard. The mate then received their bloody attention, but was thrown overboard and disposed of without the use of deadly weapons, s his body, when found, did not bear any marks of violence. Having put the two white men out of the way, the negroes rifled the Teesel, opening everything that could have been Used as a lecentacle fcr mouey or other valua bles, and turning things upside do am generally. Over five hundred dollars in money and a quantity of clothing were secured by the despc jadoes, after which they effected their escape for the time. Up to the Thursday evening following the uight of the murder the wiud was high and the wea'.her extremely rough, for T?nich reason it is thought that tho wretches Temained on board until that time. They finally ran the vessel aground on the bar at the mouth of Cage's Straits, In Somerset county, and then took their leave in a Email rowbo'U Which was on board the pungy. The Brave was first noticed subsequent to Monday in her stranded position at the inouth of Cage's Straits, dcerled, but with mainsail nd jib still flying. On being boarded, the evidences of the terrific eucoun'.er with the Captain were seen on all sides, the cabin and the deck being covered with blood. As tho negroes had shipped at Baltimore, it was supposed that they woali return to that point. Neivs of the murder was sent thither without delay, and a lrge police force wns detailed to wach for the murJercrs in tbat locality. Two of the desperadoes, how ever Wilson and Wells proceeded South, and On tho 6th and 7th of April they were captured in acComac county, Virginia, one at aud the other near Druiumondtotfn. Ttiese two wero taken to Princess Atne, Maryland, and loJged in tail to await their trial, confessing that they and their companions had perpetrated the bloody deed. Btlofe tbe trial commenced they n ale desperate u'.tempts to escape irom custody, but at tbat ttuie failed. About six weeks ago, while their trial was in progress, Rounds was also secured and taken to Princes i Anne for trial. He was captured iu Baltimore, after a defperate rettunce of the police, who were obliged to disable li.n by lodaiug a bullet lu his back before he could 03 taken into custody. Ho had been detee'ed lu au effort to involve a colored lad in a robbery which he couteru plated, and this circumstaQce led to UU identification .as one of the murderers, and his arrest as stated As yet tho other negro implicated, George liailey, has eluded the vigiliucd of the authori ties. Two different persons have been arrested and takeu to Princess Aune, bat in each cae It was found that the wrong man had been secured, and both were i nrueJiutely releated, being fur. msbed by the authorities with means to re-tch their homes an 1 also compensated for their loss t time and vexation. Tbe three men who were captured were easily convicted of a participation in the piratical out rage, und sentenced to death. The death war rants of Wilson aud WellB have already been signed, their execu'.tcn be!ng fixed for Friday next, Decern!) r 4. It is also expected that Bound' case will be dispo-ed of by th"? Governor o! ilarjlitnd In time to win him off with the other two. ALer their trial and convic'ion, Wilson and Wells made auothei desperate attempt to escape in which they succeeded. On Wednesday. No vember 11, they eitablibUed the fact that an . Eastern Shore jail is not an impregnable struc tore. Filing off their irons with a brick-how this return kable and novel feat was accom pllsbed we are not told, but such is the account ' given in tbe Princess Aune papers they burned a bole through tbe inner will of the jail, which is of wood, and then picked an aperture through the outer rampart of stone. Their subsequent movements are thus narrated In tbe remarkably lucid patois of the Eastern Shore by the f-oruer set (Md.) Herald, which gives extracts from Wilton's account of tie adventure: He states tbat tbe wind was blowing very hint, and tbat It was raining, and tne day wan ') lost breaking when ha got out the last stoue. lie Jumped out tint, and got soared at a boo sobllD (an old rarn) and out his loolwben ti iiarlcd to run, lit), however, waited for Weils, and they started and strp,, the railroad over the Bombay Hook brg. jlo reoued the wood near sunrise. an a obt aining matches from a darkey, built a tlr Hroand which tbey stayed all day, aud slept (Q n fodder mark nelnlat, feeding on par' corn the wile. He crowed Tony lank nroad bridge on Thursday in the uh.vhiuo Arid pained tli ron art Hitisoury mat night, '...rough Main street, while tbe baud was playing, aad Wells left, hi in in that town; ainoe then be ban rot heard from him, but tbat he wr. making for Wilmington." On Sunday, November, 15, Wilson was again captured by two private citizens In the wood belonging to one of thom. He was found sil ting by a fire eating parched corn, in a half fstarved condition, and suffering greatly from a wound In the foot which he had sustained in effecting his escape. In such a pitiable condi tion was the poor wretch lint he made no attempt at resistance, but quietly submitted to being heavily Ironed and taken back to certain death. On Weducbdayr November 18, Wells, the other fugitive, was dn-covcrcd in tho woods near Peaford, 8uc county, Delaware, and recog nized by a couple of citizens. He started to iun, but a threat to shoot brought him to a stand, and he was ocaecahly led back to j.ill. Such are the particulars of the tragedy, and of the desperate httempts which its perpetrators have made to elude justice. The crime created the most intense excitement throughout the peninsula, and when the three deiperaJoes are finully disposed of next Fridav, the penlnsu'a will experience a seus-a'.iou of profouud relief1. The fact that the culprits are of dusky hue adds to the prevailing cry for vengeance. Omikbon. OBITUARY. C'oinntmlore Lawrence Keurnoy, V. H. Pf, We regret to announce the deat h of this dis tinguished naval officer at Perth Arabov, N. J., yeeterday. Commodore Kearney was birn nt Perth Amboyon tbe 30tb ot November, 178H, and would have completed his teveaty-nlutb inn ndav to duv bad be lived. He entered the naval service as a midshipman on July 24, 1807, and after serving on gunboats lor two years was ordered to the frigate Constitution, and subsequently to the frigate President. After serving on various other vessels, and being promoted to the rank of lieutenant in the meantime, be was, in 1813, placed in command of tbe flotilla or galleys uud barges, and dis tinguished himself by capturing tenderunder tbe guns of tbe British frigate ilebrus. Fur the performance of this exploit he received great praise and gained an enviable reoulatlon. Tne war with Ureat Britain closing soon after, Lieutenant Kearney was placed in command of tbe brig Enterprise, and engaged in tbe sup pression of piracy in the West Indies, it was through bis energelio conduct tbat the noto rious plrnte CJlbbs and bis band were broken op. In 1820, as commander of tbe sloop-of-war Warren, be was despatched to tbe Mediterra nean for the purpose of protecting American commerce from the Ureek pirates. During the following year be bombarded Mloonl, la tbe Levant, and compelled tie restoration of American property tbat bad been plundered and despoiled In tbe town by tbe pirates, who were also surrendered to him. In 1810 tbe de ceased, who bad become a captaiu before this lime, was placed In command of the Eaut India squadron, and rendered important service to tbe country in opening an Intercourse with tbe Chinese government, and thus aiding Ameri cans m their eflons to obtain a partot tbat commerce with China which was then wholly monopolized by Kuropean powers aud princi pally by Great Britain.

Berryer was born in Paris In January, 1700. His Nrnily, who bad long Tetdded in Lorraine, were of Uerman birth, and originally, It is Bald, bore tbe name of Mill el- teller, jvi. Berryer riecame a lawyer ai a very eariy nge, and when quite a youth threw him self into politics. He elded with the B urooas, end underwent no little persecution on that account, lie was one of the counsel for Marshal Hey, and bis name wai identified with tbe pleas in (lefenxe'of Lamennais, Cha ttHUbilarid, Audry de Puyraveau, Voyerd'Ar getisoD, and Prince Louis Napoleon. Alter the (ieollueol the elder brancb.be did not follow his friends to foreign shores, but remilued in France, and couseuted to submit to the new older efallairs. As will be readily believed, be opposed tne propossd laws relating to t he exile of the Bourbons, the marrying of priesis, lue re-efctablihhroent of divorces, as well as all measures having a tendency to strengthen tne July mocarohy. On tbe other hand, however, be htrove uy an pox.sioie means to prevent me fomenting lv the Duchess de Uerrl of an insur rection iu Vendee, and when he snw that his advice was not bended, he soiuut to leave the country, but was arrested and implicate I lu the proceedings sgiliiHi tne iUHurreotloiiisiN lu the Went. The trial he underwent resuUodlu bis triumphant acquiilul. hut It would be too great a task to note the lirmerous lmportaut luuldeuts or JJ. Berryer's career. Until within a few days of his d -nth he was an active member of the Krenoh Br, and In most of the great criminal cases that oc cupied tbe attention of Kurope he took a p trl too J romlnent to be forgotten. His speeches io bohalf or Beguiu, Caelalnfe, and Dahors will alwxvs be looked upon as models ol eloquence, in 1!-51 M. Berryer was elected a member f toe Aca eiulo ' Francalae, and tor some years prist, be has ei joyed the distinolion of belug the ilohi'n or senior of the French Bar. As a member of tbe Corps Leglslatlf, lie was, wlm M, 'Jblers, tbe greatoht oppiuieul of t he Imperial Government. Muny of bit orations aualnst the policy of the Kinperor are master piece of elcqueuoa A Jeglilmlxt of the strict est lyie, he regarded Louis Napoleon as a usurper and soarcely concealed tuls belief.

An Important Document Tho Opinion of AUoriiey-Meiicrul varts lpun tlie KiKlit'lionr l.nw. The Attorney-General has just snbmltted his opinion to tbe l'resldent upon the Kigbt-bour law. Its text is as follows: ATTORNEY GBSEKAL'H OFFICB, NOV. 25, 1838. To tbe Prtsldent Sir: The President recently referred to tbe Attorney-General a coinmuuloa lion addresKed to blm by A. L). 13 rock anJ two others, siyling themselves a Committee of Printers employed In the Government Printing Ofiice, and requested an oplulon as to the proper construction ot the law mentioned therein. The law I find to be the act of June 25, entitled "An aot constituting eluht hours a day's work for all laborers, workmen, and me chanics employed by orou behalf of tue G ov ernment ol the United mates," which raids as follows: 'That eight hours shall conttltnte a day'g.worlc (or all lborer, wi.rkmeu, aad mnnbanio!i, now em pi yil or wno may be hereafter employed by or on benair of the Oovernu.eui ol tbe U.nHea jln'a, aud Hint all acts and parts ot acta Iuc'odh Rtent with mis act be and ibe same are hereby repealed. " 1 he communication of the Committee is to (he following ell'eci: That the Committee were surprised to learn that the Secretary of War bus been led to construe tbe above law, In a recent order piomulgated by blm, so as to re duce tbe pay of empioyts in the War Depart ment to correspond with tbe reduction of hours, be having declared in said order that in bis opinion it was never tbe intention of Congress to give ten hours' pay for eight hours' work; tbat tbey thereupon visited that oflloer in tbe hope tbat by laying before him ceualn facts btaring uron tbe intention of Congress in en acting ibe law, they might induce blm to revoke bis oroer and accept the couku action which has bliheilo been put upon the law by Its enemies hh well as by its fiiends, but failed to satisfy the Secretary that lie was In error; and tlrmly convinced thst the construction of the law glvbn by him as tr.oueous, tbey, although piatefully eijJojlnn the unquestioned beueiit of tbat wlht) aud liberal uievure. ttsk . tne Presldeht, in behalf of the workluirmeu of the country, to instruct tiie Ait jruey-Uauerl to ttlve an opinion upon the true eoustruuiion of the '.Kinht-hourklaw for tbe guidance of alt the beads of departments in that behalf. It, will be sren that the printers engaged In the Govern ment Printing Office are not directly atfooted by tbe older ol the Secietwry of War, and nutter, It would seem, no almlnnilou of their pay In constquence ol tbe reduction ef their hours of labor. The order affects only tbe employes of tbe War Department. atuon whom toev are m-'t Included. Subsequently tue President relerred to ibis oitlce a communication ai dits d to blm by a com in 1 1 tee of tue Working men's Assembly of the Distticl of Columbia, linking a recession of an ulleged order of tue Storeiary of War, directing tbat periom eu-(iHf-ed on works fn which tue War Detriment is interested suall receive pay in proportion to the hours I hey labor, or tbat the oplnloirot tbe Attorney-General maybe taken as to the true meunlngof the law of Congress aoove cited, as ut-ducibie irom the statute when co.Uieil wfeu Ibe official record of tbe deba'o in the Senate, on the 21th of June, IStiS.

It rosy be collected from the papers referred to thin otllco that tbe nuesilou mi whion the Aturuey-Uenernl's ojiluiou is denlivd is whe ther tbe actof June 6, lSiiS, reducing tliouu Ti ber of hours couhiiioliuj a day's work was in. tended to work a coriesiiondiui; reduction la the compensation lor a (lav's work. Tuere is rothing in the language of the act to indicate such au lnteutlou; nor does this construction henn at all o inslhlent wiih tbe alia aud pur poe ol tbe lawn, which were retormatory In .their character, having in view the p'oinmlon of tbe physical, Intellectual, ai d moral welfare of tuose who are engxge I lu manual I ibor, and of tbe geneial iuleieNts of society. The loeoiy appears to have been that the laboring man or mechanic, by means ol Ihe Increased phvsical strength and vigor acquired througu a reluo lion iu his hours of loll, would be enabled to aerompllHb daily as much upon n averne in eiht hours' couhtant labor as be formerly did in ten or even a louder period, whlleat tbe same lime he would enjoy a longer seaNou for moulal aud moral Improvement. Whether tblslsHound In principle Is not here the question; tbat it constituted the inula ground upon which the act proceeded, a reference to IhedHOates in Con gress on Ms pHs.iKe will clearly show. Acting upon this theory, tben. wblcb assumes tbat tbe Government will receive the same dally equi valent from the worklugmen under the nevv retaliation as nnder the old, tbe Legislature could not have coutemplatedanecessary reduc tion in hla compensation.

Were I once to commeuce auxwerlng all political ques tions asked me, there would be no time be twteu now and the 3d of November to gat t'iroinrb. Mr. Mosea, 1 think, will readily un derstand this. Iu regard to Order No. 11, huu di ds of letters have been written tome about it. by peisons of the faltu affected by It, I do or did notHLHwer uny of tbo witters, but permitted a statement of the facts concerning tbe orlgiu 01 the order to be made out aud given to some onetf them for publication. I do not pretend to sustain the order. At tne time of its publi cation I was incensed by a reprimand received fiora Washington for penultliug acts which Jews within my lines were engaged iu. Tnare were many other persons witnlu my Hues equally bad with the worht of them, bnt the dilteience was that the Jews ouuld puns with Impunity from one army to the oluer, anil gold, in violation of orders, whs being smug gled through tbe Hues, at leant tso it was re ported. The order was Issued and sent without any reflection and without thinking of the Jews a a sect or raoe fo themselves, butstmply aa persons who bad successfully ( gay suonesx fully, luatead ot pernltently, because there were plenty of others within my Uaes who envied their success) violated an order, which greatly Inured to the help of the Rebels. Give Mr, Moses assurance that I have no pre judice against aeol or race, but want each Indi vidual to be Judged by bis own merit. Order No. II does noi sustain this statement, I admit, but then I do not sustain tbat order. It never wonld have been isaued if It bad not been tele, graphed the moment it was penned and with, out reflection. Yours, truly, U. H. Uuant.
