PITTSBURGH, FORT WAYNE AND CHICAGO
RAILROAD MATTERS.—III the District Court
this Morning, J. K. Edgerton, Receiver of the
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Rail
rotui, is to answer the rule granted last Satur
day to show cause why an attachment should
not issue against him for obstructing T. Has
kins Du Puy in the discharge of his duties as
. Requestrator. The matter will, no doubt, bo
ably argued, as it involves the quesiion of ju
ifidialon between the'Ohio courts and our
.own;
'he Court is also expected to give its decis
ion in the application of Mr. Do Puy for an
-Order ta _enable him to pay the employees of
the Road their wages for the month of Novem
ber. We have no doubt, as the demand is so
reasonable, that the order will be granted.
'The employees who struck on Thursday,
confident of receiving their duos, have returned
to their respective duties in the shops.
IT is currently rumored that a pardon is be
lug circulated, which is being numerously
signed, fdr, the release of Thomas G. Ruther
ford, iate Suberintendent of the House of Re
fuge. It is 'strange that in this community so
many, persons can be found who are so sympa
thetic that they will join in such a petition,
when they must know, or at least believe, that
the object is only receiving a deserved punish
ment for crime. We. hope for the credit of
Our city that this will not be persisted in, as
his release would certainly be contrary to the
*lobes of nine-tenths of the population.

FlRE.—About ten o'clock on Friday night,
the loot-house of C. Ihmsen & Co.'s Glass
Works, on the bank of the Monongahela river;
in Birmingham, was discovered to be on tire ;
and before it could be extinguished was entirely
consumed. The flames also communicated to
the main building, which was also destroyed.
The pot-house contained about one hundred
pots, worth 801110 $3O each, which were ren
dered' useless. It is not known :how the tire
originated ; it caught, however,: in the lower
story of the pot-house. The loss is estimated at
$6,000 or $6,000, on which there is some insu
rance, but we were unable to learn whether
it would cover the loss.

I Ala.-pasty LT rue Tusarat—Ma. Frank Drew opened
a good audience last evening, as Rip Van Winkle,
and was well received. He is a capital comedian, and
• worthy of a liberal support. This evening he appeara as

a burlesque drama of that name, with a song and aGer
man moral, Mr. De Silveria personating Armand. l'he
' drama of "Robert Macaire' closes the entertainment-
Such a bill must attract a large audience, as such a one

THE LATEST NEWS
THIRTY-SIXTII CONGRESS
FIRST SESSION
WABUINGToN, December 16.—HousE—On
motion of Mr. Niblack, of Indiana, it was re
solved that till the election of a Speaker, the
Clerk the last house be authorized to exer
cise the power devolving on the Speaker for
preserving order in the galleries arid on the
floor of the House for the time being, under
the rules of the last House, and that the Ser
geant-at-arms, for a like purpose, be under the
direction of the Clerk.
Mr. Bonham, of South Carolina, said the
whole country were anxiously looking. to the
aspect of affairs here, enquiring why ivo did
not elect a Speaker. The reason was that the
majority in tho House were unwilling to
place in that chair an endorser of the infamous
Helper bpok. and deem themselves Justified
in resisting his election by all fair and
honorable means. He had nothing to say
against Mr. Sherman personally, but he re
ferred to him politically, and he cordially
assented to the resolution that neither he nor
any other man who endorsed Helper's hook
was lit to be Speaker. The gentleman con
tinued in this strain in a Speech of considerable
duration.
Mr. Clemens, of Virginia, wanted the House
to proceed to a vote for Speaker, and objected
to gentlemen being-compelled to sit here four
or five hours, in order to give their brethren
an opportunity to ventilate their rhetoric. He
gave notice that he should retire from the Hall
when he was physically disabled from attend
ance. If he could nut get a pair, his friends
would have to do without his vote.
The Clerk stated that having been empower.
ed by the House to suppress disorder both on
the door and in the galleries, he should dis
charge his duty, but hoped that no case would
arise compelling him to exercise the authority
thus con to Trod.
Mr. Simms, of Kentucky, said that Brown's
foray into Virginia had been followed by a
crusade against the rights of the whole South;
he would speak plainly and tell th:. gentlemen
of the other side that from the very foundation
of the government there had been a diseased
public sentiment in the Northern States on the
subject of slavery. Be spoke of the continued
aggressions of the Republican party on the
South. The Republicans number more than
ono hundred men on the floor, mon of charac
ter and influence, who have sought on the
stump and elsewhere to diffuse opinions practi
cally leading to the nullification of the fugitive
slave law, and bringing contempt on the Su
preme Court, because it has declared that Con•
grois bad no power to restrict slavery or ex
clude it from the new territories. The balance
of power in the United States Senate, once
deemed the safe-guard by the South, has been
lost, and Northern preponderance will be
still further increased by the admission of other
new States. Nothing is now left between the
South and the assailants, but the Democratic
party and the Constitution of the United States
as expounded by tho Supreme Court. The
Abolition party in the North having failed to
reach slavery in the South by direct legisla
tion, have sought to overthrow it by insurrec
tion, by poisoning the public mind North, and
by keeping up constant theft . 4oZ-g i on
that species of property at the Sout wring
incendiary document' throughout thli land,
and they have elevated to the highest public
trust, men who proclaim that there is an irre
preasible conflict between , lave and free labor
Hu was no disunionist, but would ask, was
there to be a I Iltlit to these un the
South' Were they to how their socks ilk,
conquered provinces and he despoiled o f their
property, without redrew s' If the Union is to
he preserved, there must be it co,,ation of the,.
wrongs on the South He proceeded to reply
to Mr. Hickman's remarks about the
violating the compromises, denying the charge.
For torte years the South had remonstrated,
time anli again, and have all the ti me l e ,
yielding their constitutional rights. Thu cot,
stitutiou was formed by the Northern hod the
Southern men. When it was signed the for-
Leer had the right to sell their slaves in th e
Southern States, and they did so: the Southern
men had the right to keep their slay es and por
chase those of the Northern MINI, and they did
so. The Northern men tool: the 111..11k1 re
ceived for their slavesi and invested it in
houses, lands, merchandise and commerce
To this day they have kept that property and
its profits, and yet they turn round and de
LIWILICO the South because they retain the
property sold to thew by the North. Ile
that time the ring of the mill was dearer to
their hearts than the clank of the bondsman's
chain was oppressive to their consciences. If
there be in that burning Iske, where his‘ing
serpents and fiery dragons torment the damned,
a place more gory than all the ;cod, it should be
reserved for those Northern fanatics who would
seek to scatter the seeds of sectionalism among
brothers and friends, and with the torch of the
incendiary in one hand, and the dagger of the
assassin in the other, would invade every ciipt•
tot of the nation, and amid its columns exult
in the desolation they had caused. Unless the
North ceased invading the rights of the South
they would be prepared to meet them at the
cannon's mouth. Fur the last forty years they
had submitted to these things for the saki, of the
Union. Although smarting under the thou
sand wrongs there was not a man in hie district
whose heart would not bleed to hear the keen
of the Federal Union. They were for the
Union with the Constitution ; unless that was
' preserved the Union was worthless, and worse
than worthless. It was time to talk plainly,
and he wanted no more dodging or subterfdge.
He said the North has raised a teuipe,st it car,-
not control; it has over-leaped the Constitu
tion and laws of the land. He doubted whether
the regrets expressed on that siq,, fur the liar
per's Ferry raid was sincere, and predicted that
the promise to the eer would be broken to . the
hope. As the representative of a (pod-fearing,
Union-loving, law-abiding people, he entered
his solemn protest against the ten thousand
moron re . committed on the South ; he charged
the- Republican party as being, the cause of
these danger& hanging over the country; he
was no alarmist, no disunionist; for the Onion
he would peril his life, but if the shock must
come, and if the fell calamity of disunion was
upon them he waited to see his native South
stand on tbe.Constitution of his country, and
like one man stand up in deform of their
rights.

The Executions at Charlestown
CHARLESTOWN, VA., December 16.—The
negroes, Shields, Green and John Copeland,
have just paid the forfeit of their lives. The
crowd in the town is very dreat, and the
execution was witnessed by sixteen hundred
persons.
At nine o'clock this morning, the flield was
occupeid by the troops, and at seven minutes of
eleven the procession nuide its appearance. It
arrived at eleven o'clock at the scaffold. The
prisoners were m a wagon, accompanied by the
Sheriff and Jailor. Tbey mount tile scaffold
with a firm step. The prisoners had the caps
placed over their heads by the Sheriff, and after
an appropriate prayer by Rev . : 311r.INorth, ()film
Presbyterian church, they were launched into
eternity. Before the rope was cut, Green was
heard to offer up a fer Vent prayer. Copeland
was not heard to pray. Green's neck was bro
ken and ho died without a struggle. Cope
land writhed in violent contortions for several
minutes. The prisoners bade farewell while
on the scaffold, to the ministers, Messrs. I3augh,
North and Lark, expressing a hope to meet
them in heaven. The drop fell at, eleven min.
liteJ after eleven o'clock. The bodies will be
placed in jail for burial to=morrow.
On the receipt of the news of the attempted
escape of Cook and Coppie, Governor Wise
telegraphed to General Tabafferro to take pos
session of the jail, which was accordingly dune
at once.
(44 AUL ESTOW N, December half
past eight o'clock this evening, two of the
condemned prisoners, Cook and Coppie,
escaped from the jail and were fired upon by
the sentinels and driven back to prison. They
are now in the custody of Sheriff Campbell.
The prisoners had mounted the jail wall when
they were discovered by the sentinel on the
outside, who immediately gave the alarm and
tired upon them. They had sawed their man
twles asunder with the blade of a Barlow knife,
which they had concealed and made into a line
saw. It is ascertained, [rein their confession,
that they% have been engaged in preparing for
their escape durin,g the last ten days. They
made a hole in the wall near the window,
which they concealed with paper, hiding the
bricks they removed, under the bed. Upon
the alarm being given, they made no resistance
but surrendered as soon as they discovered by
the shot of the septinel thrift they were detected.
This event has produced the utmost excite
ment here, and all are on the alert. Maj.
General Taliaferro is directing everything in
person, and will maintain au uninterrupted
suspension of atliiirs until utter the execution.
We do not apprehend any further difficulty
HARPER'! FERRY, December lv, 8i o'clock.
P. to.—Great excitement prevails here at the
present time, on account of an attempted es
cape from the jail of Cook and Coppie. They
bad cut a hole through the wall of the jail
yard, and were fired on by the sentinels out
side. Another account says that the bars of
the windows were sawed, but all is enveloped
in mystery. The prisoners are now heavily
ironed, and a special guard is standing over
them. The streets in front and around the
jail aro also kept clear.
8E C a N - D D VIP ATC II
The prisoners now say that they got the
shackles off their feet by sawing them with an
old knife and then forced the bars. A misun
derstanding occurred a few days ago between
Gen. Taliaferrig and the jailor in retard to
placing sentinels inside the jail ; the jailor
claims the right to have his own men ; the
general gave way to him, but placed a guard on
the outside, which tau thus prerented the es ,
cape of the prisoners. Couk says he could
bare {Adds his escape had he jumped down and
throttle-1 the -entinel.
[Title,) DY:.•.P.tit'll
We have had an exciting time during the past
twenty-four hours, which has just clo.sed with
the execution of the four prisoners. Through
out the day, yesterday, there wan a great in
flux of strangers and citizens of the county,
who were doi:kiug in to witness the last act of
the Harper's Ferry tragedy ; the latter Chili°
thus early, apprehending that they might b'
detained at the outpKtn, as wtl9 the case on the
day of Brown', execution The vigilance .‘x
orcised at the Railroad depot on the arrival of
a train not as atringont as on the 00:.tiyioli
of the execution of Brown, and but little difli
culty was experienced to getting into town.
Shortly after the arrival of the train in the at
ter main, a grand military dress parade of all the
c,miptinll.4 in attendance took place ; the trusts
Went through their evolutions with great skill,
and were received by General Taliaferro, wbo
was on the ground in full dram, anti mounted
on a splendid charger. 'rtu prisoners were
visited yesterday afternoon hy Rev. Messrs.
,Nessan and the Rev. Beverly Waugh, of the
Methodist Episcopal church. The services in
the cells were of an intereeting and solemn
character arid were participated in by all the
condemned, though It is now evident, from
subsequent events, that Cook and Coppee, at
least, were playing possum, as their minds
must have been fixed on hopes of life and lib
erty, 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 expressed a hope of salvation in the world
to come. Cook and Coppee were the loudest
in their professions of a change of heart, and
in the hope of Divine forgiveness; they freely
admitted their guilt, am, acknowledged their
doom es a just one, and that in the main they
had been treated with the utmost kindness by
all, though they thought that some of the wit
nesses were rather harsh in their testimony.
The ministers imagined that they had observed
a decidedly favorable change in the condition
of Cook's mind, since his interview with his
sisters. Up to that time his calmness rind
bravery were regarded is proceeding from a
lack of feeling, but on Jeaving him yesterday
afternoon, they reported that he had 'been led
to seek forgiynntlss in his protestations of
religiOus convictions and hope of forgiveness,
all of which was undlubledly intended to hood
wink their project of escape. Cook has been
visited throughout his imprisonment by the
Rev. N. Green North, at the request of the
prisoner, as also of Governors Wise and .Wil
lard. The Rev. Mr. North was present :at an
interview between Coppee and Mr. Butler, ii
quaker gentleman From Ohio, who raised the
prisoner. Ho describes the interview as an
affecting one, and speaks highly of Mr. Rtitler's
christian deportment and ad,vtee toyhd iniso
ner. Mr. Butket -says that Coppoo was a trusty,
but very wilful boy. An uncle of Coppee, of
the same name, from •hlo, his father's brother,
also visited himyesterday ; the interview lasted
for over an hour ; he seemed in much distress
at the sad fate which awaited his relative.
This was the condition of the town, the pris
oners and the military up to seven o'clock last
evening. All apprehensions of an intended
rescue bed loug since Deen banistred, end both:
ing was•thought butthe aptreoliehing execu
tion; so firmly had this conviction settled in the
public mind that military duty was voted a
bore and the finale of the tragedy was regard
ed as at last:approached. At a quarter past eight
o'clock lait evening the whole town was
thrown into commotion by the report of I ri
fle under the jail wall, followed by several
other shots from the vicinity of the guard
house, in close proximity to the jail. The mil
itary was called to arms and the' mmiteMent
whs intense heyound'anything that has yet oc•
ciirred during our over memorable era of mil
itary occupation. In a few minutes tho streets
and avenues of the town were In possession of
armed mon, and it wa. , with some difficulty
that the cause of all this turmoil could be as •
cortained. Rumors of every description were
afloat, and it was at one time thought that the
prisoners had overpowered their guards 'and
made their escape, and then that an attack had
been made on the jail by parties attempting to
rescue the prisoners.
' The Sentinel stationed near the jail reported
that at a. %latter past eight o'cloek,'he observed
a Man on the jail wall, whom he challenged,
and receiving no, answer, bred at him. , The
head of another man was also soon above the
wall, but he retreated as soon as the first one
had been fired at. The man on the top of the
wall seemed at first determined to persist,. and
was about making an attempt to jump down,
when the sentinel declared his intention of im
paling him on his bayonet; he then retreated
into the jail yard with Coppee, and both gave
themselves up, without- further resistance.
Cook afterwards remarked that it: he ,, uld.
have .got pyer , and thtottled c ha
lave made his escape. The Shenandoah
mountains are within ten minutes run of the
jail wall,:and could he have reached them, with
his thorough knowledge of the mountains, his
arrest would have been difficult., especially as
but few of the military could have followed
him during the night. They had succeeded,
after two weeks labor, whenever alone, and at
night, when their bed-clothing muffled the
sound of a saw, which they had made out of
an old barlow knife, in cutting through their
iron shackles,. so that they could put them
off at any moment they should have
their work fully completed. They had
also made a sort of a chisel out of an old bed
sere st, 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 except the removal of the outer brick. The
part of the Wall on which they operated was in
the rear of the beds on which they slept, and
the bed being pushed against. the wall com
pletely hid their work from view. Tho 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-clothing. They`acknowledged 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 or their shackles, their access to the
yard was quite easy. Hero, 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 was intended for their execution on
the succeeding day. They placed these against
the *all, and soon succeed in reaching the top,
from which they could have easily dropped to
the other side, had not the vigilance of the
sentinel on duty so quickly checked their move
ments. They were arrested in the jail yard
by General Taliafero and an officer of the day,
who rushed to the jail the moment the alarm
was given. Sheriff Campbell and Captain
Avis are of course, much chagrined at this
morn* 'escape of their prisoners, especially as
they had resisted all isterference of the
military with the interior of the jail.—
The prisoners were shrewd and cunning
fellows, and they were undoubtedly with
out any accomplices in their undertaking.
The friends who were still here were also fear
ful that they might be suspected of having
a knowledge of the attempt. The general ism•
pression is that if the prisoners had waited un
til midnight or later, they might. have reached
the mountains, but it is presumed they were
fearful of being watched during the night, or
desired to have as much darkness as possible to
gain a good distance before daylight would
allow of a general pursuit.
The bodies of the negroes, after being cut
down were placed in poplar coffins and carried
back to the jail; they will be interred to-mor
row, on the spot where the gallows stands,
though . there is a party of medical students
here froth Winchester who will doubtless not
allow them to remain there long.
EXYCUTION OT COOK AND Corm.—The
bodies of the two negroes having been brought
back to the jail at about a quarter to to o'clock
thii afternoon, notice was given to Cook and
Coppee that their time was approaching, only
one hour more being allowed them, the mili
tary movements similar to those at the first
execution were repeated, and a wagon with
two more coffins was standing at the door of
the jail. At 12 o'clock the same military es
cort was in readiness. Meantime the closing
religious ceremonies were progressing in the
cell. Since the failure of Cook and Copped to
escape' last night, their assumed composure and
apparent resignation bad given way, and they
now looked at the reality of their fate with the
full conviction of its awful certainty. They
were reserved and tether quiet, but joined
with ler vor in the religious ceremonies con
ducted by Messrs. North, Lehr and Waugh.
When called upon by the Sheikiff, they stood
cairn, and after bidding farewell to the guards
of the jail, were helped into the wagon
and took teats on their coffins. Their
appearance was rather that of hopeless
despair, than of resignation. and they seemed
to take but little notice of anything as the pro
cession slowly moved on to the field of death.
The wagon reached the scaffold at thirteen
minutesliefore ono 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 clergymen,
the ropes were adjusted, the caps drawn over
their heads, and both were launched into eter
nity in seven minutes after they ascended the
gallows. They both exhibited the most un
tlitiehing 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 " boas quick as
possible," which was repeated by Coppee. Af
ter hanging about thirty mieetes, both bodies
were taken do , ,vn, and placed in black walnut
coffins, prepared for them. That of Cook was
then placed in a poplar box, labeled and di
rected as follows: Ashbell P. Willard, and
Robert Crowley, 104 William street, New
York. Tho coffin of Coppee was placed in a
similar box, to be forwarded to his mother in
lowa.

A HORRIBLE STORY.
The second trial of the celebrated Juin
' •
pertz QT . the "barrel murder" - case; with
which our readers are fanailliar, was con
cluded on Monday by the acquittal of the
prisoner. Some new and mysterious de
velopments were made which the Chicago
Times of Sunday morning gives as follows:
The examination of Elizabeth F. Riley
was continued Saturday forenoon, and it is
not yet concluded.
The story of the connection of this wo
man with Jumpertz is full of strange mys
tery which has surrounded this terrible case
from the first. If true, it heaps a deeper
tuid more danteing, weight of guilt upon
the head of this man Jumpertz than even
the meg vivid imagination had before con
ceived. If not true, it reveals a degree of
moral turpitude on the part of the witness
which is hardly possible can exist.
It appears that while living in Milwau
kee with Sophia Werner as mistress, Juni
pertz, at a lecture one night received an in
troduction to a young and beautiful girl;
Elizabeth F. Baldwin. With the instincts
of a libertine, he perceived in her a lack Of
those positive intellectual qualities whose'
very presence forbid the approach of such a
villian as himself. He called upon her
subsequently; acquaintance quickly grew: o
intimacy; and love, 'or something akin to
it, was awakened in the bosom of theyoung
eirl. Under a protOise of marriage, the
smooth faced and oily-tongued barber se
duced her from the way of virtue. Then
lie acquainted her with his relation to So
phia \Verner, and promised to become the
husband of Elizabeth, his second victim, as
soon as he could get rid of Sophia. The
young girl left Milwaukee, and remained
away until her child was born,
In the mean time Jumpertr, and Sophia
had both left Ifilwankee, and were sup
posed to be in Chicago. Hither the young
girl followed them, and shortly after ar
riving here she met Jurnpertz on the street.
She asked him where Sophia was. He hesita
ted at first, but finally told her Sophia was
dead—that she had taken laudanum and
slept herself to death, and that he had cut
her body up and sent it Away. Some other
conversation passe4 which given in the
testimony. Not long afterward, Jumpertz
was arrested formurdering Sophia Wer
ner. Hearing of his arrest, Elizabeth visi
ted him in jail, where he repeated substan
tially what he had told her at the previous
interview on the street. He further said
(so the story runs at least) that he would
probably never get. out of his troubles with
life, and advised her to endeavor to forget
him. He returned her minature, and told
her that. she had better resign all hope. of
him, and marry some one else. She left
him, and became the wife of a man named
Riley.
tt appears that some extraneous and
powerful influences were brought to bear
upon her to influence her to consent to this
marriage, as her conduct in all other . re,
spects shows that her affections and lilart
were still with Jumpertz. Never a night
passed, state her friends; without seeang
her upon her knees' prling to Ueaven !for
her seducer, awl for his liberation from :the
dreaclN eqath vihich stared him in the face.
It is likewise said. she stated to a woman
named Kehoe, that she did not care what
Jumpertz had done, for she lovpd hint still,
and would marry him if he got out Of his
trouble. This, however, she denied very
positively on the witness stand.
Subsequently to Jumperta's first con,vic
tion and the granting of a new trial by the
Supreme Court, he again had an interview
with this unhappy girl, He then entertain
ed strong hopes of an acquittal, and was so
firm iglus belief that he renewed his. Vows
of affection and love to her, and told her to
get rid of her husband and of the fruit , of
her marriage with him, and promised if this
waa'dotie, that lama 'his release he would
marry her. The girl, still actuated by irsc
tion for this wretch; which neither time, nor
guilt,-nor marriage - yowl; could efface or
weaken, appears to - have followed his advice.
She left her husband; whose character ap
pears to neithei upright nor manly, and
froni statements made by the girls mother,
it appea'rs that she tools medicine or 'sub
mitted to au opperatiori which probably had
the desired effect, but which was followed
by puerperal fever, from which she is just
recovering. The abortion was produced
six weeks ago.
Such are the, outlines of, this strange
story, which, if true, certainly reveal a mo
tive, hitherto unknown, for the horrible act
the prisoner- is charged with committing,
and also contradicts out of his own mouth
the pretence that Sophia Werner cortmit
ted suicide by hanging.
