• For the 4py :
Lancaster Connty Agricultural ITnion-
EnFron,—The construction of
civilized life is such. that each branch
of industry is dependent on all other
branches. Cities and boroughs arc de
pendent upon the produch.g, country
around them, and the producer is depen
dent upon cities and boroughs for a mar
ket. If Columbia was placed twenty
miles beyond our frontier settlements in
the West; nine-tenths of her assessed
value would thereby, be struck out of
existence; and nine•tentbs of the inhabi
tants would bc, compelled to leave the
borough, or change their ecenpation to
that of producing, front the wild lands
with which she would be surrounded.
The vlane of farms !mild be similarly af
fected; if the bpst, farm in West Ifemp
field, was placed in our western wilds,be
gond our frontier settlements,it would be
worth only government price, one dollar
and twenty-five cents per acre. Manu
facturing and trade are the only sources
that produce a market, and a market fur
nishes forty nine-fiftieths of the value of
all farming lands, and other real estate.
If we wish tq increase the value of real
estate, 'e have only to increase manufac
turing and trade. In a former comma
niestion I proposed the formation of a
stock. company for the manufacture of
farming implements, and other articles,
used in housekeeping. lam now ena
bled to state that :inch a company Rilj be
organized in Columbia; full details of
which I aim unable to givp, but can give
some of the leading features. Its capi
tal will be $lOO,OOO, with the privilege
of increasing ; it will be managed by fif
teen or more Directors, a majority of
whom will he farmers from Lancaster and
York counties; the stock will bo divided
into ten thousand shares of 810 each ;
efforts will be made to have the stock
taken by small subscriptions, as exten- 1
sively among farmers as possible, so that
they will have an interest in sustaining
the company ; farmers who aro stock
holders, will be supplied with imple
ments first, in preference to outsidors,and
at reasonable prices ; the shares will bo
pqt at 810, so as to enable mechanics and
laborers to become stockholders, and the
company will at all times, employ me
chanics and laborers who are stockhold
ers, in preference to those who are not.
Every propetty holder i re the borough
will be interested in the enterprise, us it
will increase the value of real" estate
every shop keeper will be interested as
the payment of some four hundred dol
lars per day fur labor, will materially in
crease their trade ; every mechanic and
laborer will be interested as it will furnish
plenty of work at all times, and at good
prices for labor ; every farmer will be in
terested as it will afford an opportunity
of purebising implements of the best
quality, without thp risk of being impos•
cd upon with imperfect articles, furnish
ed 14 speculators. This enterprise is not
an appeal to capital as an investment,but
an appeal to the citizens of Columbia and
the farmers in the vicinity, to establish
nn .ingtitntien which will be a mutual
benefit to all parties concerned. Let la
`borers take one share, mechanics from
three to five, shop keepers, property or
ners and farmers from five to ten; the
stock would then be held by about one
thousand persons, all of whom would
have a direct interest in the prosperity
of the company,which would be managed
by a board of directors chosen by them.
eels-es every year. Columbia is one of
the best points in the state for manufac

EDITOR ;--The people of Wash
iegton were somewhat stextled-7on
aa
count of its suddenneFs—bithe tutpounee
men; yesterday evening, of the approval
by the President of the finding and gen
,teace of the :Military CotioTi.apio,n in
in the cases of the assassins tried 'before
them, and had ordered tAte pxeention of
the sentence to-day between the hours of
eleven o'clock, a. rn. and two p. m. , in
thi3`yard of the 'penitentiary in which
they were confined.
With some dificulty- 7 -two
. ;undred
persons only were to be adauitted-,...1 suc
ceeded in getting into the yard, which
was surronnd,edbythree heavy lines of
sentry,and posted . myself directly in front
of the gallows, which consisted of a
scaffold of wood work ten feet front
the ground, the three front posts of
which extended ten feet above the drop,
and formed part of the scaffold or plat
form upon which the. culprits and neces
sary attendants were to stand. Upon
these posts rested the beam, front which
depended four noosed rotes, 'each
feet in length -and two and a hall' feet
apart, reaching within .two feet of the
drop. A pair of steps led up from the
rear. A few feet beyond gaped fear new
ly made graves, and by them were four
unplained pine boxes, or rude coffins.
It was not necessary to call imagina
tion to one's assistance to portray the aw
ful event about to transpire. There was
the stern preparation in all its dreadful,
dismal reality.
regunent of Infantry withthe Prison
walls formed a hollow square about the
scaffold, and a heavy line of sentinels,
with slow and measured tread, marched
their beat upon the parapet of the brick
wall.
MI
Eleyen. o'clock came and past. Why
the delay? Everything seems to be in
readiness. Are the friends and counsel of
Mrs, Surratt still opportnning the Presi
dent? He is ill and may for the moment
lack his usual firmness. But there are
four waiting graves and four hangman's
knots. He has said it and it will be done.
Oh ! the sympathizing Judge Wylie is
sued the writ of habeas corpus in her
case. Yes, and the President suspended
its privilege. This accounts for the de
lay: Congriss will sustain him. * *
The spectators stood on tip-toe of ex-
pectancy for the appearance of those to
whom the government felt justified in
.. .
awarding such awful, yet condign pun
ishment, and although the heat was fur
nace hot, and the high walls prevented
even a zephyr from disturbing the still
ness of the place, or cooling the heated
air, they stood still, scarce uttering a
syllable, anxious, yet knowing that the
hour was at hand. proving their interest
by their patience. One o'clock came.—
Ger. Hancock appeared and directed a
slight change of the military. Two sol
diers appeared, each bearing two chains,
which they placed upon the scaffold a
' few feet from and facing the halters. A
painful stillness pervaded the enclosure.
Then, supported by Lt. Col. McCall on
the one side, and her rather confessors
on the other, appeared the she-wolf, Mrs.
Surratt, dressed in black,wearing a black
silk bonnet and veil. She required con
siderable assistance to ascend the scaffold.
Her conductors seated her in the chair
on the right, into which she dropped as
if very much enervated. Although ap
parently resigned she seemed to feel most
keenly the awfulness of the situation into
which her folly had placed her.
Atzerott and Harold followod,with at
tendants, and ascended the scaffold, and
were seated facing the imesc,at the sight
of which they shrank with mortal fear.
Then came the lion of the tribe of Is
cariot—Payne. He, with a firm tread,
was led to the foot of the steps, saw his
grave yawning before him, turned. and
with a slow, solemn, yet stately step, as
cended to the scaffold, and " advanced
within two feet of the edge of the drop,
looking intently at the rope from which
he was in a moment le dangle in the
agony of death. He was led a few steps
backward and seated in a chair between
Mrs. Surratt and Harold. He was at
tired as usual in pants and shirt of the
same (sailor's) cloth ; the shirt without
band or collar,low in the neek,and fitting
Tory closely to his person, showed a
fine physique and towering neck.
He kept his eyes steadfastly upon the
sops where it was tied to the beam,a few
feet above his head. Gen. Hartranft
read aloud the sentence of the Court and
the approval of the President.
Payne addressed a few words tq his
minister, for whom he had sent to Balti
more—who in a solemn tone said, "The
prisoner Payne, requested him qn this
occasion, to say for him, that he publicly
and sincerely thanked Gen. Hearer' ft
and all the officers and soldiers who had
charge of him, and all persons who had.
administered to his wants for their un
wearied kindness to him; not an unkind
word, not an unpleasant look not an qa
becoming gesture had been made toward
him." As the Minister repeated these
words, Payne's eyes suffused with tears.
Harold aqd Atzerott requested their
clergymen tq say the same for them,aftep
which Payne's knelt by his side, and of
fered iv for him a most fervent prayer,
which, again brought tears to his eyes.
Harold's spiritual adviser followed,
c.pdtiten — Atserott'sio prayer, imploring
most topchingly and elespently, Divine
mercy. Mrs'Seratt's Fathers said noth
ing aloud. They were then assisted to
their feet for the adjustment of the
,hal
ter. 2 Mrs. S'ie - bonnet and veil west re :
moved. She was apparently forty years
of age, tolerably good lookin*salloTr
complectipp—the result, pirltapfsif long
and close-confinement ; was larg r than
mediocrity. Her .cotrutenance wore an
expresSion of calmness, remarkable tin
der the circumstances, yet expressive of
acute Mental agony.
As the noose was placed around At
zerott's neck he said "Gentlement take
ware"—meaning evidently, take warning,
or bOtyare—ein a most impressive tone.—
Their arms were tied behind them, then
their aekles and their knees, and e - cap
of white canvass cloth drawn over their
heads. As the rope was being tighten
ed on Harold, he cautiOned—"Gentle
men don't choke me." Atzerott, after
the cap was placed over his head said—
" Good by, gentlemen; all what is befOre
me," in a tremulous voice, and added,
"may we all meet le the other werld."
Payne stood quite on The edge of the
drop,. in a perfect position of a soldier—
head erect, apparently unmoved-4-the
is persoeation of courage. His look was
pot decant or t f Itautestr; but of resig,
nation and a heart for any fate. He is
said to have impressed the attending
devine, as a min of more than ordinary
intelligence. His age was twenty years,
but he looked some older. As the rope
was adjusted he raised his eyes to beat'.
and uttered asilent prayer, and ere his
lips ceased moving, the cap hid forever
from his vision the glorious 'light of day.
Mrs. Surratt, I thought shuddered as the
knot closed upon her neck. What must
have been their feelings, however coldly
steeped in crime, or callous of conscience
while they stood there boiled hand and
foot, the beautiful world darkened to
them by the hangman's cap, the scaffold's
chilling rope coiled round their necks,
knowing that in the twinkling of en eye
they wonld be lannehed into fathoefless
abyss of dread eternity, and re-arrainged
before the Judgmeet Daz: of Film who
seareheth the heart Not jqpg war their
painful suspense. At twenty five min
utes past one o'clock, in au instant, the
props were knocked from under,and with
a dull, heavy sound the drop fell, au]
four bodies dangling between heaven and
earth. Mrs. Surratt's neck wfs broken
—one deep heaving of the chest and all
was over. Atzerott's. was also broken,
and he quietly passed away. Not so with
Payne and Harold. They seemed more
tenacious of life. The furtner's huge
frame shook convulsively, and the pow
erful and frequent contractions of his
' chest evidenced that the strong suffered
far snore than the weak:. Hareld swayed
to and fro, trying to draw himself up,but
could only move very slightly the lower
parts.
Within two minutes all hung motion
less, and their immortal souls had taken
their flight to the realms of bliss or the
regions of the damned. Their dishonor
ed bodies hung for twenty minutes, when
they were taken down, examined, and
placed in the grave they had seen gaping
for them.
Traitors, and ye disloyal, to whom
treason has given birth, let the awful
warning of your brother Atzerott,the ter
ribly imprcssiye meaning pf his rnde sen
tence, "tike ware," sink deep into your
hearts, and fasten upon your conscience;
though your crimes niny be less tan giblo
your guilt is not less than his. Though
you may not dangle from the halter of
the scaffold, tlie'day will come when you
will writhe upon the gallows of public
opinion.

For instance, suppose the premium
