1VK SUMMARY.
Nothing has been done in Congress, since
Our last, except to ballot for speaker. In
dications am that a speaker will soon be
elected. The Republicans have come with
in a Tew votes- of"tho necessary number.
On the 21st, Cobb of Georgia asked 'them
whether they had no other candidate than
Sherman—a member.who had not endorsed
Helper's Book. This points at Corwin, who
would be elected on the first ballot if the
Republicans started him. .Then followed a
conversation between Cobb and Ethridge
(American,) in which it appeared that the
bulk of the Americans are willing to sup
port a Democratic candidate, as soon as it
is evident that their votes will elect him,
but said Ethridge you have no candidate
that can obtain the 93 votes you claim
Cobb stated that the objections to harmony
were now overcome, and the 17th ballot
was taken. Whole number 226—necessary
to a choice 114 Sherman 106, Million 96,
Gilmer 6, EtttrRtge 7 Davis 4, Scattering?.
We look for the next ballot with great in
terest, aa it is likely to elect Millson.
In the Senate, Slidell introduced a bill
making appropriations for the purchase
of Cuba. Senator Johnson of Tennesee,
introduced a homestead bill.
In the Legislature nothing, at all has been
done. The Republicans having determined
to transact oo business until Gov. Ramsey
is sworn in fearing the Democratic purty
may divide with them the credit for certain
measures now proposed by both parties.
The week has therefore been spent in dis
cussing the Abolition resolutions introduced
by McLaren and others. The members
have voted that their own orders upon the
treasury shall bear interest. This was Mr.
Stearns ^rand mtaaurc—Goodhue county
legislation is becoming popular.
O O TIMES-COMING.
There are many indications which! go to
show that without the intervention *or help
of legislators or governors good times are
again returning to Minnesota. There is a
constantly increasing flow of gtain into all
our river towns, and a weekly increase
in the cash value of the same. As far as
our own town is concerned, although the
roads are in bad conditions for want of
snow.it never presented a more lively appear
ance than it has for the last four weeks.—
A fair quality of wheat has this week brought
seventy cents per bushel—caah. Wheat
buyers are numerous and purpose to pur
chase an unlimited amount. The store
houses are full and the question of sto
rage is becoming a serious one. Our mer
chants are busy from morning till nigh*,
and the cash sales exceed all former, ezpe
liehce in Red JWing. W are informed by
a friend that has made diligent search, that
there is not one vacant tenement in the
place.
The immense quantities of wheat in the
country the amount of which it is iinpos
sible to conceive without threading your way
through the forests of straw stacks, with
which the prairies are covered, and the very
fair price it is now bringing must make a
decided alteration. First instead of paying
out our money for provisions, grain & in
stead of running in debt as in the years past
then is a large balance on the credit side.
Our business men, many of them greatly
embarrassed or. account of the slow debts
among the: farmers, are obtaining relief, and
their stores of grain will enable them to
square up the oldand pay for the new goods,
in the Eastern markets. And the formers,
the money being thoroughly disseminated
among them, can release their form from
the old taxes, pay up thu. year, and go on
with a good heart with their extra improve
menu and crops next year In short there
is no calculating the power of good, the
good crops and prices of this year is doing
now, snd as for next year, in spite of all
our gloomy forebodings, its effect upon. im
migration will make nioney plenty, lands
saleable, pay our taxes and debts, start up
our riilroads, put every wheel of life and
business in motion, and make everything all
right Come cheer pi you see one good
season makes up for years of hard times.
E E A A CHANC E FO
GOOD 1MVESTMCNT.
Of all the wonders that can be found in
this fast State of Minnesota, the most sur
prising is that there cannot be found a tele
graph. From St. Paul to La Crosse—one
hundred and fifty miles,, nearly- -a line would
hava paid of itself during the last three
years, besides the amount of business given
to through lines to Ne York. The towns
along the Mississippi are sufficiently nuiner
oua and populous and the couutiy back of ried back to jau7
them sufficiently settled to furnish one line
a most profitable business. To insure the
construction of such a line, the Legislature
would undoubtedly—the present to
grant a monopoly on that route, in Minneso
te., for a term of years in which ease as

up by the opening of navigation, and what

especially in these grain buying and selling
times.
EXECUTION O T1IECIKRLE3TOWN
riMSONEKS.
I Charlestown, Dec. 16.—The 3 negroes.
Shields. Green and Copelaiid, have just paid
the forfeit of their lives. The crowd in the
field-is very great, an-t the execution was
witnessed by 1,603 persons. At 9 o'clock
in the moraine, the field was occupied by
the troops ana seven minutes before eleven
o'clock the procession made its appearance.
and arrived at the scaffold at 11 o'clock.—
The prisoners were in a wagon accompanied
by the Sheriff and Jailor. They mounted
the scaffold with a firm step, The prisoners
had the cap pulled over their heads by the
Sheriff, and after an appropriate prayer by
the Rev. Mr. North, of the Presbyterian
Church,' they' wtre launched into eternity.
Before she rope was cut, Green was heard
to offer up a fervent prayer, Copeland was
not heard te pray. /Green's neck was bro
ken and he died without a struggle. Cope
land writhed in violent contortions for sev
eral minutes. The prisoners, while on the
scaffold, bade farewell to the ministers,
Messrs. Waugh, North, and Lerk, express
ing a hope to meet them in heaven. The
drop fell at eleven minutes past 11 o'clock.
The bodies will be placed in the jail for in
terment to-morrow.
Baltimore, Dec. 16.—The American has
received a special dispatch stating that Cook
and Coppic attempted, an escape by cutting
a hole through the wall of the Jail. They
were fired on by the sentinels. The prison
ers were heavily ironed.
On the receipt of the news of the attempt
ed escape of Cook and Coppic, Gov. Wise
telegraphed to General Tallegerino to take
possession of the jail, which was according
ly done.
Charlestown, Dec. 16.—Cook and Coppic
were hung fifteen minutes before 1 o'clock.
The usual ceremonies were performed.
Charlestown, Dec. 16.—-Wc have had an
exeiting time during the past twenty-four
hours, which has just olosed with the exe
cution. Throughout the day (yesterday)
there was a eat influx of strangers and
citizens if the country who were flocking in
to witness the last act of the Harper's Ferry
tragedy. The latter came thus early, ap
prehending that thoy might be detair.Su at
the outposts, as was ths Case on the day of
Brown's execution. The vigilance exer
cised at the railroad depot on the arrival of
the train was not so stringent as on the oc
casion of the execution of Brown, and but
little difficulty was experienced in getting
in town. Stiortly after the arrival .of the
train in the forenoon, a grand military dress
parade of all the companies in attendance
took place. The troops went through their
evolutions with great skill, and were re
viewed by Gen. Tahafero, who was on the
ground and mounted.
The prisoners were visited yesterday by
the Rev. Messrs. Nassau, Dut'on and North,
of the Presbyterian Church, and Rev, Bev
erly Waugh, of the Methodist Episcopal.
The services in the cells were of an inter
esting and solemn character, and. were par
ticipated in by the condemned, though it is
now evident from subsequent events that
Cook and Coppic, at least, were playing pos
sum, as their minds must have been fixed
on hopes of life and liberty rather than of
death and eternity, at the time they were
making outward protestations of resigna
tion. 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 Coppic wore the
loudest in their protestations of a change Of
heart, and in the hope of divine forgiveness.
They freely admitted their guilt, and ac
know lodged their doom as a just one, and
that in the main they had been treated with
the utmost kindness by all. They thought
that some of the witnesses were rather
harsh in their testimony..
The adjusters imagined that they bad
dtscoverednl dxfidedly favorable change in
the condition of Cook's mind Since his in
terview with, his sisters. Up to that* time
his calmness and bravery were regarded as
proceeding from a lack of feeling but. on
leaving him yesterday afternoon, they re
ported that he had been led to seek forgive
ness, from his protestations ojf religious con
viction and hopes Of forgiveness' were enter
tained—all of which was undoubtedly in
tended to hoodwink their project of escape.
Cook has been visited throughout his iui
prisonment by the Rev. N Green North,
Governors Wise and Willard
Rev. Mr, North was present at an inter
view'between Coppic and Mr. Butler,
Quaker gentleman from. Ohio, who. raised
the prisoner, ffe described the interview as
an affecting one, and speaks highly of Mr.
Butler's Christian deportment and advice to
the'prisoners.
Mr. Butter saye that Coppic was a trusty
but very wilful boy.
An uncfe of Coppics, of the same name,
from Ohio—his father's brother—visited him
\esterday. The interview lasted for over
an hour. He seemed in much distress at
the sad fete which awaits his relative.
All apprehensions of an intended rescue
had long since been banished, and nothing
was thought of but the approaching execu
tion. -. .:
So firmly had this conviction settled in
the public mind, that military duty was vo
ted a bore, urid the finale of the tragedy
was at last approached.
At a quarter past eight last evening, the
whole town was thrown into commotion by
the report of a rifle under the jail wall, fol
lowed by several other shots from the vicin
ity of the guard house, in close proximity
to the jail. The military were called to
arms, and the excitement was intense be
yond anything that has yet occurred.during
our ever memorable era of military occupa
tion.
In a few minutes the street* and avenues
of the town were in the possession of armed
men, and it was with some difficulty that
the cause of sll this turmoil could be ascer
tained. Rumors of every description were
afloat, and it was at one time thought that
he prisoners had overpowered their guards
and made their escape, and then that an at
tempt bad been made on the jail by parties
attempting to rescue the prisoners.
The bodies of the negroes, after being cut
down, wore placed in poplar coffins and car
rie back to jail." They will be interred to-,
morrow, on tlm spot where the gallows
stands. Though there ia a party of medical

repeated, and a wagon with two more coffins
was stationed at the door of the jail at half
past twelve O'clock he same 'military es
cort was in leaamaet nmsnwhU%tlie clos
ing religious ceremonies were progressing in
the cell. Since the failure of Cook and Cop
pec to escape, their assumed composure and
apparent resignation had given way and now
they looked at the reality of their fate with
the full convicti »n of its awful calamity.—
They were reconciled and rather quiet, but
joined with fervor in the religious ceremonies.
When called upon by the Sheriff they
stood up eahu and quietly whilst their arms
were being pinioned, and after bidding fare
Well to the guards of ihe jail, were helped
into the wagon and took their seats On the
coffins. Their appeajance was rather that
of hopeless despair than of- resignation, and
they neemed to take but little notice 61 any
thing as the procession moved on to the
field of death. The wsgoa reached the
scaffold at thirteen minutes before 1 o'oclock,
and the prisoners asceneded with a deter
mined firmness, scarcely surpassed by that
of Capt. Brown. A brief prayer was offered
up by one of the clergyman. The /ropes
were adjusted, the caps drawn over their
heads, and both were launched into eternity
ir. 7 minutes afterthaf.ejwanded the gallows.
They both exhibited the must unflinching
firmness, saying nothing with the exception
of bidding farwe11 to the ministeran sheriff
After the rope was adjuisted about Cook a
neck, he exclaimed," Jj* quick—qui ik as
possible, which was repeated by Copic.
After hanging about thirty minutes both
bodies were taken down and-placed back in
walnut coffins prepared for them. That of
Cook was then placed in a poplar pox la
beled ana directed as follows: "Ashbei!
Willard and Robert Crowley, 104 William
Street, New York, care of Adams Express."
The coffin of Coppic was placed iai a similar
box, to be forwarded to his mother in a.
PABTICULABS or TnK ATTEMPT AT ESCAPE
CHAaLKsT»wx. Dec. 16— II r. M.— The
sentinel stationed near the jail reported that
at a quarter past eight he observed a man on
the jail wall whom he challenged, and re
ceiving no answer, fired at him. The ad
of another man was also seen abve the wal I
but he retreated as soon as the first one had
had been fired at. The man oh top the wall
seemed at first determined to presist and was
about making an attempt to jump down
when the sentinel declared his iiiten ion of
Impaling him on his bayonet. lie then re
treated iato the jail yard with Coppic, and
both gave themselves up without resistance
Cook afterwards remarked that, if he could
have got over and throttled the guard, he
would have made his escape, The Shenan
doah mountains are within ten minutes run
of the jail, and had he escaped there, with
his thorough his knowledge of them, his ar
rest would have been difficult, especially as
but few of the military could have followed
him during the night.' They had sicceeded
after two wet ks Ubjr. whenever alone and
at night, when their bed clothing muffled
the sounds of a saw, which they had made
out of an old knife, in cutting through their
iron shackles, so that they could have their
work completed.
They had also made a sort of a chisel out
of an old bed screw, with which they suc
ceeded, as opportunity would offer, in remov
ing the plaster from the wall, and then
brick after brick until space.. sufficient for
them to piss through was 6pehed. all except
the removal of lbs outer brick. The part
of the wall on which they operated was in
the rear of the beds, and'the bed being
pushed against the wall, completely hid their
work Srom view. The bricks that they took
out were concealed in the drum of an old
stove, and the dirt and planter were placed
between the clothes- Tpoy scknoweledged
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 msre than 'five feet abovf
the pavement of the yard, andwhen freed of
their shackels their access-to the yard' was a
smooth brick wall about fiifteeh feet high
to scale this difficulty was, however, soon
overcome with the aid of the timbers of the
scaffold on which John Brown was hung,
and which, was intended for .their execution
on tbesucceding dav. They placed these
against the wall and soonsucceeded in reach
ing the top, from which:'they could have
easily droped to the other side had not
the vigilence of the sentinel on duty so
quickly checked their movements.
They were arrested in the jail yard by
General Tekaferro and officers of the day,
who rushed to thejail the moment the alarm
was given. Sheriff Campbell and Captain
Davis are much chargrioed at this narrow
escape of their prisoner, espeeitly as they
had resisted all interference of the military
with the interior dicp'ine p/ the jail. The
prisoners were shrewd Jand cut a ng fallows,
at the request of the prisoner, as also of and they were undouhtedly without accom
plices in their undertaking
The friends who were still hire were also
fearful that they might be suspected of hav
ing knowledge of the attempt. The genera!
impression is that if the prisoners had wated
until 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 ot
darkness aa possible in orde to gain a good
disunoe before daylight would allow of a
general pursuit.

On the (Aist day of the session Mr. CLARK.
a member of Congress from Missouri, intro
duced the following resolutions: \. .-,
WHKBEAS, Certain tneinber. of this Hou e,
now in nomination for Speaker, did endorse
and recomui nd ths book hereinafter named
therefere.
Resolvxl, That the doctrines and senti
ments of a certain book called "The Impen
ding CYsio'tJie Suth, and How to Meet
It," purporting to have teen written by II.
U. Help r, are incendiary and hostile to the
domestic peace and u-iiuiiuility of the country
and that no member of this House who re
commended or ondorsud it or the comjiend,
is fit to be Speaker of the House.
The bonk in' question, was written by
Hinton Howan Helper, a native of North
Carolina and i8 unquestionably of the most
incendiary character. It lays down the
programme of a combined servile and agra
rian imurruct o.i in the South and as the
first step thereto, proposes a union be
tween the non-slaveholding whites and ne
groes—contemplating a servile revolt, the
expulsion of the dominant class, and the
confiscation of their property. HBLFKU,
proposes the following plan of up ration:
1. Thorough org-tn aation and independent
political action on the part of the non-slave
holding whites of the South.
2. Ineligibility of pro-slavery slaveholders
never another vote to any one who advocates
the retention and perpetuation of human
slavery. I
3. No co-operati with pro-slavery poli
ticians: no fellowship with them in religion
no affiiation with them in society.
4. No patronage to pro-slavery merchants
no gu«tehip in slave- wa ting hotels no fees
to pro-slaverv lawyers no employment to
pro-slavery physicians no audience to pro
slavery'parsons,
5. No more hiring of slaves by non-slave
holders.
