Tbe occasion of he execution, to-duy, of Albert Teufel Is tho ause of au unwonted excitement in this usually quiet and monotonous borough. With the de portment of the prisoner, and the arrangements for the execution up to the murnlug of yester day, the reader of Tub Evening Telegraph are already sufllulenlly familiar. Thi Prisoner Yesterday demeaned himself in a manner corresponding with his actions from the commencement of his confinement in this place. The element of moral sensibility seemed utterly wanting in him, his conversation lending one to the belief that human life was considered no more sacred or consequential than any mere animal exist ence. During the day be completed the additional sketch oi his life on which he has been engaged for some days past, and having sealed it care fully, .ndorsed it with the names of Sheriff Corcoran and Mr. Watson, one oi his counsel during the recent trlul, with the injunction that it is not to be opened mull a week after the execution. It is not probable that he has made a lull confession of his guilt iu this statement, as he still persisted at the time in assorting his innocence. During the day he received several visitors. Among these were FatberUeorge. Kate Hunter, and Christian Teufel. The first, was twice in the cell alone with the doomed man, whom ho succeeded in engaging in somewhat serious conversation. On leaving, Futher George ex pressed the belief that he had made some Im pression, however slight it might be. At 11 o'clock Kale Hunter, Teufel's former mistress, arrived, accompanied by a young gen tleman who was gotten up in the most elabo rate and artistic, style. The lady herself, who can lay claim to ordinarily good looks, but not to positive benuty, was likewise attired in a fashionable but t'lstelul manner. On arriving at the prison the Sheriff Insisted on seeing everything that she desired or Intended to pre sent to the prisoner; but being assured that she had no lnteutiou of giving him anything whatever, she was admitted to the cell. The meeting between the two was cordial and friendly, but there wero no apparent derfton stratloi.sof afi'ection or emotion of any klua on the part of either, la the afternoon she re turned again to the city. The meeting between the father and Hon was smut what less nnlnfiil than on the last previous occasion, when the latter accused the former of being the guilty party in the murder of Wiley. When not busy with his visitors Teufel passed bis time In a characteristic manner, but was once aroused from his lndid'erence to his fate by the noise mide by a mechanic, in connec tion with the scaffold. He then expressed nil earnest desire to see the Instrument of death, and was quite out oi sorts because the privilege was denied him. The Prisoner's Statement Last Evening. During the evening he again received mi ine rt un visitors. A number of the representatives of the press waited upon him, and were received In his peculiar manner. He appeared to be in a talking mood, and at a repeated request, made what might be styled a tHtatenieut," wereit not the case that but little reliance, or none at all, could be placed upon it. In many points th story be then told coincided with the one made three weeks ago to the District Attorney, an abstract of which was published iu The Evkn ino Telegraph of yesterday afternoon. But in some respects the two statements were at variance, lie again acknowledged to having been a reckless eunrueter from early boyhood, but claimed entire innocence of the crime of Which he was convicted, lie persisted still in saying that Christian Teufel was not his father. For u few months he was at Wood's school, on Twenty-third street, between Lombard and Pine. He also attended at one time a Sunday School at Nineteenth and Market streets. At the nge of eleven, he went to boat lng on the Lehigh and Delaware, Raritan, and Morris Canals, remaining stcadl'y at one em ployment but a short time, when he would go oft on a "beat." He had been engaged in plenty of rows and robberies in Philadelphia. New York, and elsewhere, the truth about which would be made public In due time. He "could" relate a few of these; and, afier.some little per suasion, he "did" relate a few, to this effect: in 1M2 or 1863. while on the Marie Forsyth,! on. the Mississippi, be drugged tue :cierk and robbed the ollice of H5,to0, At another time, he was engaged Indirectly in the robbery of one of the Bales of the Adams Express Com pany, realizing therefrom about $18,000; but of this amount he was forced to destroy $ Hi, 0)0, which were in bonds. Three of the direct par ties in this affair have been arrested, but another is still at large. When engaged in his thieviner, Teufel said he generally operated alone, or he "would have been shoved up long ago." He was never Been by the detectives In company with rogues, and always went into business of some kind on arriving at a new place, in order to avert sus picion. Two years ago he found himself in St. 1 Joseph, Mo., in possession of 1300,000, part of which lie had obtained in a nusiness way, Dut most of it from illegitimate sources. With this he embarked, in company Willi one John On en, in a special train for Pike's Peak, and lost the whole of it, as well as came near losing Ills head. When pressed upon thesHhJectof the murder, be said Iba' he thought the boy Kick must have iin.ii Hoinethlnu to do wun k. out, maae no men tion of his father. He said he was reluctant to onciiKo nnv one. when he did not see the affair. andtbereforecouldnotbecertain. He added that whoever did commit the deed, displayed ..rcat. wpnunets" in stumng tue mouth with rugs and tightening a rope about the neck, after n,!l m.n'u hrains had been beaten out a thing which he surely would not havedoueif lie had been guilty of It, He persisted iu saying that he had never Kiueu u man, mbuuugu u .nnrii ihui. h bad once held a person by the name of Wagner under the water so long .1,-t i aimnat riled.

This he accomplished, putting Cns sklay in the way oi escaping to Itethleheni with the booty. He then went to tJ,uakertown, where he arrived at five o'clock on Sunday morning, and aftoi breakfast proceeded to Phi ladelphia. While Teufel was conversing, he made frequent reference to a vulgar song which lie composed about a month ago, entitled "Hanging on Suspicion," to the air of "Way up In New Jersey," and which has been printed for circulation. Later in the evening, the father and uncle of the prisoner visited blm In his cell, accompa nied by Father Ooorgo of t)oy lnstown, and Father Kuploruagol of Haycock, the hist two intending to remain with him during the night. Tne Arrangements for the Execution were progressing meanwhile. The scaffold ou which Probst and nine other guilty wretches liad met their fate, was all In readiness for lis next victim. Sheriff Corcoran had also made his selection of attendants on tho execution, consisting of the following: Sherill's Jury Ex-SherlU's James M. Wilkin son, Charles Eellman, Joseph Ely, and Samuel Panagh; and Messrs. Mathow Sheridan, James Wllltums, T. D. Khlnclinrdt, Paul Applebuuch, Noah Shull, Edwin Nicholson, William IS.

About half-oast 10 last evening, the priests left the cell of the prisoner, but his father and uncle remained until 21u the morning. Teufel received his In! her in quite a friendly manner, kissing him affectionately at parting, but when the old man turned to him again to take another have, he pushed him away with an exclamation of dis satisfaction. About three o'clock the prisoner went to sleep a watch being kept at the cell door. Tcufel Attempts Suicide. At 5 o'clock Teufel awakened in violent con vulsions. His whole frame quivered and shook In the most frightful manner, one man being unable to keep him quiet. These fearful con vulsions continued lor several hours, although the physicians succeeded about 7 o'clock lu affording blm some relief. Previous to this, however, his body at one time grew rigid, ills fuce being discolored. his mouth wide open, and his eyes rolled back. At this time bis pulse was quUe low, and by mauy of the attendants it was supposed that he was already dead. The emetics administered by the physicians then began to have some effect, and for some time Teufel vomited freely and violently. All the symptoms went to show that he had taken a dS4 of strychnine, which he must have ootalned from some of the friends who visited him last evening. The relief was only temporary. IDs consciousness was restored, but it was still necessary for one man to hold his knees in place, while another kept one hand heavily on his chest. Every now and then the frame of the wretched man would again quiver, and be would complain bitterly of the Inattention of the physicians, whom he accused of experi menting upon him. He also gave frequent utterance to an oath, and altogether presented, as he lay stretched ur on ills couch, a shooklng and almost slckenlngspectacle. About 1) o'clock he had become so mueli easier that he was able to smoke, when he called at once lor aoigar. 1j a t k It .

Address of Governor Jenkins to the Paople. Washington City, U. C, April 10. To tho People ol Ot orgla: During the late civil war jou were distinctly Informed, by legislative resolves and by Executive proclamations, einaniillng from the Hulled Status Govern ment, thai it waswaed against jou not vin dictively, not for the purpose of conquest, but solely lor the maintenance of the Union. The theory announced was that, by her ordinance of Hecesilon, Georgia bad not placed herself, n r could in any way plaoe herself, without its pale, but tliat.st whatever cost of blood and treasure, the resistance of her people to the authority of the United (States must be sup pressed. With these ideas in your minds (actuated by what considerations it mutters not), in April, 1K65, you, in good fall h, cousod that resistance, laid down your arms, and made full submis sion. From these premises it is uudeniable lhatyouhada right to expect, as it Is noto llousiy true you old expect, speedy restoration to the position In the Union from which you hod es-ayed to withdraw your status un changed, save in the abolition of slavery, to which, with amazing equanimity, you assent d, by word and by act. To tl Is work of lestorutiou the President of the United Hlates, iu the recess of Congress, fit It I fn 1 to the theory promulgated as arjove stated, addressed himself, with much of circum stantial ueiuil and elaborate machinery, but lu u spnltol unaffected kindness. TheGovernoi then gives a history of the at temi t to reconstruct under Mr. Johnson's uu an I hoi ized policy , and of the action of Congress sajs: Afier having treated Georgia as a Htate, so far as coincided wllh their convenience or their interest after having tolerated her Govern ment reconstructed under Federal Executive suspires, during a period of eighteen months, f h Thirl v.fittit ll rYiiiirrpNH. 1nt At t pIimm. enacted a law providing lor the reconstruction ' oi your (Male Government, in accordance witn thetr will and pleasure. Irrespective of your own; and, ad interim, for your military govern ment. The Ecrllelh Cougress, tuklug up the rote, immediate.y upon the expiration of its piedecessor, lias enacted a uw supplementary to the loinier, placing the whole machinery of reconstruction iu the hands of the Military Governor previously provided for. Construing the two acts together, that oflieial is clothed with dictato rial powers over you, and sustained by as many buonets as may be necessary to the end lu view. They prescribe, as ludisponsubio provi sions in your contemplated Constitution, seve ral articles which the enacting power well knows you disapprove, and some of which, as applicable to themselves, other States now iu full fruition of the Union disapprove and have recently rejected. Luslly, these enactments for the purposes of this forced reconstruction ex tend the elective franchise to a large class of persons on whom you have never bestowed it, and to whom you, as well other (States now rep resented in Congress, by the rejootlon of the lust proposed Constitutional ameudment, have rciused to extend it. These acts of Congress have been vetoed by the President, but have beeu passed over his veto by two-thirds of each branen of the Cou gress. I shall not swell this address by a thorough analysis of these acts. They are fear fully familiar to you. But I hesitate not to say to you, that they are palpably unconstitutional and grievously oppressive, Huoh, fellow-citizens, is your present condition, and the official relation 1 bear to you demands that 1 speak to you of it. The all-absorbing question is, wual shall Georgia do? The public uiscusslons seem to recognize only two alternative: 1. Prompt acquiescence in the already ) ejected propi sal for ainoud ment of the lederal Constitution, and in all the requirements of the two acts of Congress before mentioned, together with the lncorpoia tlon of them all, by our own acts, into our owu constitution anu laws. 2. A firm but temperate refusal of such acquiescence and adoption; aud a patient.mauly endurance of military govern ment, until, lu the ellluxot time, and on the subsidence of the pusslons generated by civil war, better counsels shull prevail at t he fede ral cupital we, meantime, strictly observing law and order, and vigorously addressing our selves to Industrial pursuits. As between these alternatives, 1 have no hesi tation in advising the adoption of the latter, but forbear. At this time, to assign any reasons for this advise, because, fellow-citizens, lam far from believing these are tho only alterna tives. I have strong lalth that there remains to ns an available remedy. In the Federal Government therearethreo departments. Two of them have passed upon theaomeasures, and are in direct antagonism regarding their con stitutionality; bulla that event the Constitution gives to the legislative department power to override the Executive, and they have so done. There still remains, however, the Judicial de pertinent, the great conservator of the supre macv of the Constitution, whose decrees, unlike the Executive veto, cannot be overridden by the Congress. That department has not yet spoken. Should It be found iu accord with the Executive, this usurpation will be arrested. Then, although for a time you may be denied repiesentatlon in Congress, your State Govern ment will remain Intact, and full restoration will not long be delayed. In conclusion, the Governor states that emi nent Jurists approve his opinion that a case can be made requiring the validity of the law to be tested by the Supreme Court, and in the mean while counsels inaction.

Half a million acres oi land warrants Issued to Pennsylvania by the United States, for agri cultural collepe?, were sold yesterday at the Surveyor-General's office, llfirriaburg, at from fifty-five to sixty cents per acre. When U is considered that there are over ten million acres of these warrants already issued, and all the Southern states vet to receive them, and that the same kind ot warrants issued to Maryland, Ghio, Kentucky, and other States, are selling at only fifty to fifty-four cents per acre, the State officers of Pennsylvania deserve great credit t r having realized to the treasury nearly seventv five thousand dollars more thau the same warrants could have been bought for of other States. Railroad Breakdowns in England. John Bull is a conservative personage, aud Is ordinarily understood to keep u light hold of his purse-strings, but be has been singularly loose in his railroad and Jolut-stock enterprises. Many years ago, under the famous railroad king, Hudson, all Britain went crazy on these constructions, and then went to everlasting smash, sinking untold sums of capital. Within tbe past few years there bas been a general rush into Joint-stock companies for every conceivable purpose. Those operations have culminated, during the last season, in one of the severest financial crises that have been known in Kugland for a quart'-"- of a century. On the heels of this disaster, there now come two more vast rail road explosions. The London, Dover, and Chatham Railroad Company, after expending some $40,000,000 in construction, has come to grief on Its bonds. And what is worse, some of the holders of Its debentures, finding stray portions of its property lylug around loose, to tbeamount of a million or more, seized upon it in satisfaction of their claims. The cose was carried to court, and the lute attorney of the Rebels in the Alexandra case, now Lord Justice Cairns, gave a legal decision which may be of importance on both sides of the Atlantic. It was to tbe effect that the bonds of a railroad company do not run against the property of the company, but only against its earn inrs. The bondholders were thus turned out or court, and the property they seized reverted to the possession of the Com pany. The second case of disaster Is that of the Atlantic and Great Westera Railway, whloh, tneoretlcaliy at least, extends from New York to St. Louis. Large portions of this road were built during the war, and many compllip,euts have been lavished upon the magnificence of the enterprise and the magnificence of the British managers thereof. Our readers will re member the visit of Sir Morton Peto, Mr. James Henry, and other gentlemen to this country a few years ago, anu the comet-like trail they left behind them; which visit and coruscation was in the Interest of the Atlautlo and Groat Western Itallroad aforesaid. A dinner of In conceivable dimensions and cost was given by these gentlemen, ot Delmouieo's, to a large number of American magnates, where mauy nattering things wer said, and many patroni zing promises made of the determination of Brilhn capitalists toset railroad thlugsstraigtit on this continent. Having made this display, and given this banquet to a company of sonie 260 geullemeu. at a cost of $'J5 000 or Jiw.ooo we do not precisely remember which Sir Morton and his friends returned home. Now the whole concern has exploded, after the manner Id watch such tremendous things generally explode. Among othnr tliluga doue at the Hn,e of this triumphal visit was the execution of a most wonderful mortgage by this Company, which paid the most wonderful and unheard of stamp tax ever known ou Ibis continent, exceeding, we believe, the sum which George the Third aimed to collect from the American Colonies in the way of a stamp tax, aud whloh brought on the American Revolution. Bo that, on the whole, there has never been anything in the railroad world of the United States like onto the stupendous career and end of t promoters and ianaera of Ilia Al- , lantlcand Great Western Rail way Company, from Its inception to lis flnaf failure to pay the Interest of the thirty millions of de nentures secured by the splended mortgage aforesaid, wblcn at the last advices had occur red. Ills a striking fact that rash, and enter prising, and reckless as the Americans are all ged to be by our relat Ions across the water, we have never yet wasted our money in the great enterprises of the last quarter of a cen tury, as the conservative and close-fisted Eng lish cariliBllsts have done. Three Immense Railroad Companies the Grand Trunk or Ca nada, the London, Dover, and Chatham (find lng its terminus in the very heart of Ixindon), the Atlantic and Great Western each rivalling In the magnitude of their cost our greatest works, have one by one gone down into the gulf of bankruptcy. 'Ihe Grnnd Trunk, on an ex penditure of some J'iO.000,000, Is now a fancy stock on the London, market at 20c. on tho dol lar. London, Dover, nnd Chatham, on a cost of l.'io.OOO.OOO or $iO,000,000, is speculated in at the same figure, while the Atlantlo nnd Great Western, with one mortgage debt of 1.10,000,000, a large amount of other obligations, and a very considerable amount of paid-up capital stock besides, cannot find purchasers at any price. There Is nothing in all the expe rlence of American railroads that is to be coin pared to the gigantic brenkdown of these three companies. Nothing which exhibits snoh a reck less spirit of expenditure. Nothing which, exhibits so much of financiering on adespe rnte basis. It is to the credit of Amerlcansklll, nnd enterprise, and good Judgment, that, after all the flings of English writers at the hazard ous nature of American investments, we are nlile loclialleniie sticli a contrast as this.
