CONGRESS.-Up to yesterday, no organiza
tion of the House had taken place. For
Speaker, Sherman, Republican, has contin
ued to lead, but lacks four votes to elect.—
Bocock, Administration Democrat, has re
ceived 84 votes—leaving 34 Democrats and
Americans voting scattering.
Ile'. The miscreants who do up the edito
rials for Colon's organ, are boiling over with
rage, simply because they have failed to per
suade us into the belief that they are honest
Democrats. In their last issue they give their
readers a column of facts and falsehoods, to
prove that we have not been true to Demo
cratic principles. They say we did not give
our support to the State nominees in '5B and
'591 Very true. And the,money offered us
by Colon could not buy us to advocate the
election of a man we could not think worthy
the support of Democrats. . In '5B, Porter and
Frost were pledged to sustain the National
Administration in all its corruptions and pro
scriptions. In '59, the State ticket was placed
upon the same platform. We could not give
either our support, and did not, as our read
ers well know. We deceived no man in eith
er campaign—and shall not deceive any man
in the one fast
,approaching. One thing we
can promise now—we shall never support a
James Buchanan a second time.
The Union's assertion that we are for Cam
eron for the Presidency, is in character with
most it says. Cameron is a politician, and is
about as honest in politics as James Buchan
an and most other leading politicians. Ile
might be our choice rather than see an Abo
litionist or a Southern Disunionist likely to
fill the Presidential chair. But we feel very
confident that the Charleston Convention will
give us a true Democrat, one we can support
and one the 'United Democracy will elect,
without the aid of the Black Republican edi
tors of the Union.
The P. 0. Organ says we called on .
Simon Cameron when be stopped at this place
in '5B, A slight mistake. We have not spo
ken to Cameron for twelve years—and know
less of his political character than we do
of any connected with the 'Union. Simon
could buy all its editors for a very small sum,
but he is sharp enough to avoid a purchase
of " dead stock."
..IM.During the campaign of 'sB,one of the candidates [Wm.
A. Porter,] on the State ticket spent several days in town ;
but no mention of bis visit ever appeared in the Globe.
And last fall the candidate [R. L. Wright,] for Auditor
General was in town twice, but the Globe never knew it."
—The Union alias P. 0. Organ
Thank you, for giving us a call, to explain !.
When'Judge Porter was in town, he called to
see us, and requested us NOT to take any notice
of his visit, as some people might think he
was on an electioneering visit. Of course we
complied with the Judge's request, and never
mentioned that he visited our town.
Mr. R. L. Wright, visited our town on the
day of the meeting of our County Convention.
He did not call on us—not owing him any
thing we did not call on him. He took a
side-seat in the Convention to see how things
would move off, but had scarcely got seated
when his particular friend from Jackson town
ship made a motion for the purpose of ascer
taining whether the Globe was recognized as
an organ of the party. Mr. Wright inquired
who the gentleman was, and when informed
that the delegate was one of his simon-pure
friends, he replied that he desired to have but
a very few such, friends, and left the room,
and the town in the first passing train.
Colon about—The Union is now engaged
in publishing a number of FACTS IF TRUE,
which will not astonish the nation in the least
if they should not be true.
Ser. Our friend Colon will soon discover
that he is not the Post Master General—and
that his little lap dog " Brucey,".may not be
able to bark loud enough to prevent his re
moval. The" Huntingdon Office is the only
Chips
"fat" Post Office in the county, and it is right
that the Democratic party of the county should
be consulted as to the proper person to fill it
and receive the profits. Some months ago a
gentleman of town and a man of family, spoke
of making application to the Department for
the office, but no sooner did Colon hear of the
movement, than he called upon the gentleman
and informed him that he could not be re
moved,—that him and Bruce had more influ
ence at Washington than all other Democrats
in the county—and that no one but a person
al friend of big could get the office after he
was done with it. Quite a bold assertion
for such a man, yet he may have spoken
the truth, for smaller men in the Demo
cratic party, and even Opposition men, have
had influence with the present powers-that
be, while . those who fought hardest in the
great battle of '56 for the success of Democrat
ic principles have been treated with less re
spect than the vilest Black Abolitionist.
A few days ago we saw three or four peti
tions numerously signed and by some of the
most prominent Democrats in the county,
some of whom are P. M's., asking for the re-
moval.of Colon, for very good reasons. Our
friend Colon must get on the track of these
petitions, or the Department will open his
eyes some morning before he gets out of bed.
tier Little " Brucey," the "little member,"
has been greatly. agitated since the public
have found out that he tried to pass himself
off for a gentleman, up North, with borrowed
passes. - He feels that he is about a feet
smaller than he used to be when in company
where he was not known. He has promised,
with the assistance of that other lawyer (?) to
write down all our friends. Wonder where
he has buried his dead.
zarThe Legislature of Kentucky, on Mon
day last, elected Hon. John C. Breckinridge
United States Senator. His majority was twen
ty-nine. We rejoice to record-the fact.

CHARLESTOWN, Dec. 16.—We have had an
exciting time during the past twenty-four
hours, which haS just closed with the execu
tion of the four prisoners.
The prisoners were visited yesterday after
noon by the Rev. Messrs. Watson, Dutton,
and North, of ,the Presbyterian -Church, and
Rev. Beverly Waugh, of the Methodist Epis
copal Church.
The services in the cells were of an inter
esting and solemn character, and were par
ticipatedin 'by all the condemned ; though it
is now evident, from subsequent events,.tbat
Cook and Coppie, at least were " playing pos
sum," as their minds must have been axed
nn the hopes of life and liberty, rather than
death. and . eternity, at the time they were
making outward protestations of resignation.
They all gave an • unqualified assent to the
conviction of religious truth, and each expres
sed a hope of salvation in the world to come.
Cook and Coppie were the •loudest in their
professions of a change of heart, and - in the
hope of Divine forgiveness. They freely ad
mitted their guilt, and acknowledged their
doom a just one, and that in the• main, they
have been treated with the utmost kindness
by all, though they thought that some of the
witnesses were rather harsh in their testi
mony.
. The ministers imagined that they.had dis
covered a decidedly favorable change in 'tlie
condition of Cook's mind since his interview
with his sisters. Up to that • time his calm
ness and
_bravery were regarded as proceed
ing from a lack of feeling ; but on leaving
him yesterday afternoon they reported that
he had been led to seek forgiveness in his
protestations of religious convictions and
hopes of forgiveness—all of which was un
doubtedly intended to hoodwink their project
of escape.
Cook has been visited throughout his im
prisonment by the Rev. N. Green North, at
the request of the prisoner, as also of Gover
nors Wise and Willard. • •
Rev. Mr. North was present at an inter
view between Coppie and Mr. Butler, a Qua
ker gentleman from Ohio who raised the pris
oner. He describes the interview as an af
fecting one, and speaks highly of Mr. But
ler's Christian deportment and advice to the
prisoner. Mr. Butler says that Coppie was a
trusty but very Nvillful boy An uncle of Cop
pie of the same name, from Ohio—his, fath
er's brother—also visited him yesterday, the
interview lasting over an hour. He seemed
in much distress at the sad fate that awaits
his'relative.
This was the 'condition of the tom:), the
prisoners and the military, up to seven
.o'clock
last evening. All apprehensions of an in
tended rescue had long since been banished,
and nothing was thought of,but the approach
ing execution, whilst the overflowing throng
of strangers were hunting quarters for the
night.
The bar-rooms were all crowded with pa 9:
pie discussing the resignation of the prison
ers to their fate ; and so firmly had this con
viction settled in the public mind,,that
tary duty was voted a bore, and the finale of
the tragedy was regarded as at last ap
proached.
The supper table at the Carter House was
crowded fur the fifth or sixth time, and all
was moving on calmly and quietly up to 8
o'clock, when an alarm was given, and •the
whole town was thrown into commotion.
THE ATTEMPTED ESCAPE.
At quarter past eight o'clock last evening
the whole town was thrown into commotion
by the report of a rifle, under the jail walls,
followed by several other shots from the vi
cinity of the
,ward-house, in close proximity
of the jail.
The military was called to arms, and the
excitement was intense—beyond anything
that has yet occurred during our ever memor
able era of military occupation.
In a few minutes the streets and avenues
of the town were in possession of armed men,
and it was with some difficulty that the cause
of all this turmoil could be ascertained.
Rumors of every description were afloat,
and it was at one time thought that the pris
oners had over powered their guards and
made their escape, and then that ari attack
had been made on the jail by parties attempt
ing to rescue the prisoners.
It was dangerous for a citizen to go out to
ascertain the true cause of the excitement,
and rumors of the most extensive character
floated in to be contradicted the next moment
by citizens who had been driven in from the
streets.
The sentinel stationed near the jail, repor
ted that at a quarter past eight• o'clock, he
observed a man on the jail wall whom he
challenged and receiving no answer, fired at
him. The head of another man was also
seen above the wall, but be retreated .as soon
as the first one had been fired at. The man
on the top of the wall seemed at first deter
mined to persist, and was about making an
attempt to jump down when the sentinel de
clared his intention of impaling him on his
bayonet. He then retreated into the jail yard
with Coppie, and •both gave' themselves up
without further resistance. Cook afterwards
remarked, that if he could have got over and
throttled the guard, he would have made his
escape. They had succeeded, after two
weeks' labor, whenever alone, and at night,
when their bed clothing muffled the sounds
of a saw, which they had made out of an old
Barlow knife, in cutting through their iron
shackles, so that they could pry them off at
any moment they should have their other
work completed. They bad also made a sort
of chisel out of an old bed screw, with which
they succeeded, as opportunity, would offer,
in removing the plaster from the wall, and
then brick after brick, until a space sufficient
for them to pass through was opened, all ex
cept the removal of the outer brick.
The part of the wall on which they opera
ted, was in the rear of the beds on which they
slept, and the beds being pushed against the
wall completely hid their work from view.—
The bricks they took out were concealed in
the drum of a stove, and the dirt and plaster
removed in the course of their work, was
placed between the bed clothes. They ac
knowledged that they had been at work a
whole week in making the aperture in the
wall. Their cell being on the first floor, the
aperture was not more than five feet above
the pavement of the yard, and when freed of
their shackles, their access to the yard was
quite easy. Here, however, was a smooth
brick wall, about fifteen feet high, to scale.
This difficulty was, however, soon overcome
with the aid of the timbers of the scaffold on
which Captain Brown was hung, and which
were intended for their execution on the suc
ceeding day. They placed these against the
wall, and soon succeeded in reaching the top,
from which they could have easily dropped
to the other side, bad not the vigilance of the
sentinel on duty so quickly checked their
movements.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE EXECUTION.
At day break this'morning the reveille was
sounded from the various barracks, announ
cing the dawn of the day of execution, and
soon the whole' comniunity was astir.
At 9 o'clock the entire military force in at
tendance was formed on Main street, and the
officers reported themselves at headquarters
for duty. The companies detailed for field
linty around the 'gallows, -immediately took
up the line of March, and at half past , 9
o'clock, were in the positions assigned them
on the field. The companies detailed for es
cort duty, took up their positions in front of
the jail, awaiting- orders.'
EXECUTION OF COPELAND AND GREEN.
At half past 10 'o'clock, Gen. Taliaferro,
with,his staff, numbering twenty-five officers,
having given orders to prepare the two ne
gro prisoners, Shields Green,tind John . Cop
eland, for execution, took their departure to
join the main body of troops on the field.—
The military then• formed a hollow square
around the jail, and an open wagon, contain
ing the coffins of the prisoners drew up in
front, with a carriage to convey Sheriff
Campbell and his deputies. The crowd of
citizens and strangers was very great—at
least live times as numerous as on £he occa
sion of Brown's execution—most of whom
were already on the field, whilst others wait
ed to see the prisoners brought out.
The religious ceremonies in the cell were
very impressive. At a • quarter before 11
o'clock, the prisoners, accompanied by Sheriff
Campbell and the Rev. Mr. North appeared
at the jail door, and with their arms pinioned
moved slowly toward the vehicle in waiting
fur them. They seemed downcast, and wore
some of that calm, tearless spirit evinced by
Brown under' similar circumstances. They
were helped into the wagon, and took seats
on the coffins without scarcely looking to the
right or left. The escort now commenced to
move, the wagon being closely flanked on
either side by a company of riflemen, march
ing in double file and lock step.
At seven minutes before -11 o'clock, the
procession entered the field occupied by the
military; and the prisoners cast a shuddering
glance towards the gallows erected on the
rising ground in its centre. In two minutes
more the wagon stopped at the foot of the
gallows, and whilst the prisoners were alight
ing, the companies, forming the escort,
moved off to the position assigned them on
the field.
The prisoners mounted the scaffold with a
firm step, and were immediately joined by
Sheriff Campbell. After a brief prayer by
one of the clergymen, the caps were drawn
over their heads, and the ropes adjusted
around their necks. During the few mo
ments they thus stood, Copeland remained
quiet, but - Green was engaged in earnest
prayer up to the moment the trap was drawn,
and they were launched into eternity. Green
died very easy, his neck being broken by the
fall, and the motion of his body was very
slight. Copeland seemed to suffer very much,
and his body,. writhed in violent contortions,
for several mantes. They were accompanied
on the gallows by the Rev. Messrs. Waugh,
North and Lehr, to whom they bid an affec
tionate farewell, and expressed the hope of
meeting them in Heaven.
The bodies after being cut 'down were
placed in poplar coffins, and carried back to
the jail. They will be interred to-morrow,
on the spot where the gallows stands, though
there is a party of medical students here from
Winchester who will, doubtless,. not allow
them to remain there long.
EXECUTION OF COOK AND COPPIE.
The bodies of the two negro prisoners hav
ing been brought back to the jail at about a
quarter to 12 o'clock, notice was given to
Cook and Coppie that there time was ap
proaching, only one hour more beinc , allowed
them. The military movements similar to
those at the first execution were repeated,
and a. wagon with two more coffins was stand
ing at the door of the jail at half past 12
o'clock. The same military escort was in
readiness. Meanwhile the closing religious
Ceremonies were, progressing in the cell.—
Since the failure of the attempt of Cook and
Coppie to escape last night, their assumed
composure and apparent resignation had
given way, and they now looked at the reali
ty of their fate with the-full conviction of its
awful certainty. They were reserved and
rather quiet, but joined with fervor in the re
ligious ceremonies conducted by the Rev.
Messrs. North, Lehr and Waugh. When
called upon by the Sheriff, they stood calm
and quietly whilst their arms were being
pinioned, and after bidding farewell to the
guards of the jail, were helped into the wag
on, and took seats on their coffins. Their ap
pearance was rather that of hopeless despair
than of resignation, and they seemed to take
but little notice of anything as the procession
slowly moved on to the field of death.
The wagon reached the scaffold at thirteen
minutes before one o'clock, and the prisoners
ascended with a determined firmness scarcely
surpassed by that of Capt. Brown. A brief
prayer was offered up by one of the clergy
men, the ropes were adjusted, the caps drawn
over their heads, and both were launched in
to eternity in seven minutes after they ascen
ded the gallows. They both exhibited the
most unflinching firmness, saying nothing
with the exception of bidding farewell to the
ministers and sheriff.
After the rope was adjusted about Cook's
neck, he exclaimed, "Be quick—as quick as
possible," which was also repeated by Cop
pie. After hanging about thirty minutes
both bodies were taken down and placed in
black walnut coffins prepared for them.—
That of Cook was then placed in a poplar
box, labelled, and directed as follows :
" Ashbell P. Willard and Robert Crowley,
104 William street, New York, care of Ad
ams' Express. •
The coffin of Coppie was placed in a simi
lar box, to be forwarded to his mother in
lowa.
A. NEW HALF DOLLAR.—A new half dollar
has been got up at the United States Mint in
Philadelphia, to be submitted to the govern
ment for its approval. The new coin, al
though of the same diameter as that now in
circulation, is much thicker at the rim in con
sequence of the deeper sinking of the die, and
hence much more endurable. On the one
side is the medium portrait of Washington,
with the head, wreathed in laurel ; the word
Liberty upon a scroll over the bust ; at the
bottom the date 1859, and around the whole
United States of America, in plain well adap
ted raised letters. On the reverse side, a
wreath of grain, envelopes the words Half
Dollar, in the same letters.

ANOTHER TRIUMPH !
Philadelphia, Sept. 29, 1859.
TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE PENNSYLVANIA AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY :—The subscribers, your committee to examine the
contents of a Salamander Safe, of Evans & Watson, after
being exposed to a strong fire on the Fair Grounds for eight
hours, respectfully represent—
That
after seven cords of oak wood and three of pine
had been consumed around the Safe, it vas opened in the
presence of the committee, and the contents taken out, a
little warmed, but not even scorched.
Several Silver Medals heretofore received by the manu
facturers, and a large quantity of docuinents were in the
Safe, and came out entirely uninjured.
The experiment satisfied us of the capacity of Safes of
this kind to protect contents from any fire to which they
may be exposed. ' '
The Committee awarded a Diploma and Silver Medal.

WIIMINGTON, Del., Sept 17,1859.—Messrs.Evexs & WAT
SON, Philadelphia.
Gentlemen:—The Salamander Fire-Proof Safe of your
manufacture, purchased by us from your Agent, Ferris &
Garrett, of our city, some nine months ago, was severely
tried by burglars last Saturday night, and although they
had a sledge hammer, cold chisels, drill and gunpowder,
they did not succeed in opening the Safe. The lock being
one of "Hall's Patent Powder-proof," they could not get
the powder into it, but drilled a hole in the lower panel
and forced in a large charge, which was ignited, and al
though the door, inside and out, showed the explosion not
to have beer. a small one, it was notforced open. We sup
pose they were the greater part of the night at work on
it. - We are much gratified at the result of the attempt to
enter it, and if the above facts are of any service, you are
at liberty to use them. Yours, truly,
DAYNARD & JONES.
GREAT FIRE!—ANOTHER TRIUMPH!!
Ilsoxvitts, Tennessee, March 13th, 1859.
Messrs. EVANS & WATSON, Philadelphia:
Gentlemen—lt affords me great pleasure to say to you
that. the Salamander Safe which I purchased of you in
February, 1858, proved to be what you recommended it—
a sure protection from fire. My storehouse, together with
several others, was burned to the ground in March last.—
The Safe fell through into the cellar, and was exposed to
intense heat for six or eight hours, and when it was taken
from the ruins and opened, all its contents where found to
be in a perfect state, the books and the papers not being
injured any whatever. I can cheerfully recommend your
Sates to the community, believing, as I do, that they are
as near fire-proof as it is possible for any Safe to he made.
THOMAS J. POWELL.

hand, at 301 Chestnut street, (late 21 South Fourth street,)
