The Four ExecutiOns-Attcm
Escape.

The wrath Of Virginia slave holders
was again appeased by the hanging of four
more conspirators last Friday, viz. !:
Cook, Copic, Green, and Copeland the
two last being colored persons. Green and
Copeland were hung at Ii o'clock, A. NJ,
and Cook and Coppic at o'clock p. Nj.
The two last assembled the scaffold with a
firnness scarcely surpassed by Capt. Brown.
When all was ready both exclaimed abe
quick as possible" and they we're launched
into eternity-and slavery feels easier.
On the night previous, both Cook and
Coppic made an attempt to escape. The
following is condensed account of thi;
affair:
The sentinel stationed near the Jail re.
ported that at quarter past eight O'Clock
he observed man on the Jail wall. lie
challenged him, and receiving no answer
fired at him. Another head was also seen
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 jump down, but the sentinel
declared his intention of impaling him on
his bayonet, and he then re,reaied into the
jail yard with Coppie, and bdh gave them
selves up without further resistance Cook
afterwards remarked that il he could bave
got over and throiiled the guard he would
have made bis escape. The Shenandoah
mountsins are within fen minutes run Of
the jail wall, and had he rea he'd Them with
his thorough knowledge of The mountains,
his arrest would have been ddlicnlt, espec-
'sIly as but few of the military could have
followed him during the night.
They hal succeeded, after two wee,,:: >
llbor, whenever alone aud a, night, when
the bcd clothing muffled the sound of the
saw, which they hal made out of an old
Barlow knife, in cutting through their iron
sliackles so that they coild pry them of at
any moment they should have their other
work completed. They also made sort

which they succeeded, as opportunity would

space Sufficient for them 10 pass through
was opened 20 the removal of the outer
brick The part Of the cell in which they
slept, and the bed being pushed against the
wall, completely hid their work from view.
The bricks they took out we're concealed in
the drum II a stove, and the dirt and plas-

They acknowledge that they had been at

Decidedly Satisfactory.

We take this occasion to say n word
about our advertising agencies in the cities.
We make it rule TO settle with them once
year, and accordingly send them our bills
in the month of December. We believe
there is hardly anything more pleasing and
satisfactory in publishers business, than
to have these bills met promptly. Such
has been our experience with both OF the
Peuengills-we mean S. Nj. PETTENGILL
* Co., Boston, and S. Nj. PETrENGILL
& Co, New York. We have sent them
our bills, aid ever since we have been
publisher, we have Invariably received
their drafts for the amount due, by return
of mail Last Saturday we sent them
their bills for 1859, and the return mail
brought us their draft in reply, as usual.
OF course, such men deserve and fully pos
sess the confidence of all classes of bust
ness men. They need no commentator,
and we have made this sta. emcnt more to
express our own qualification, than for any
good we expect it will co them.
In this connection we would also men,
ton John Hooper & Co., New York. Our
business with them only covers a part of this
year, but they have met our bills promptly
and we therefore believe them to be fully en-
titled to confidence. We like to do business
with such men, and hope the relations be-
tween us will be continued.

Tie BELLOWS FALLS TINES will conf
mence its fifth volume on the 9Th of Janua-
ry next. The year which has passed has
been to it one of success and prosperity.
Our subscription list has increased during
the year plump 200, and in the towns in
this vicinity, it has much larger crcu!a-
ton than any other paper, and in some in
stances more than two TO one. Our adver-
Using patronage has also increased, being
nearly $500 more than last year. and our
job printing department is likewise larger
than in any year since we have been en-
gagged in the business.
We therefore return our sincere thanks
to our friends and patrons for their favors
the past year, and trust it may prove mu
tually beneficial to continue the relations
now existing between us, and that still fur
ther arcessions Of new friends and patrons
will greet us for the year soon TO commence.
have no government salaries on which TO
lean for support, but that we have to con-
tend against violent government opposition
and that our success depends entirely on
the merits of our shee, itself. All our gain
we have expended for the benefit of our
subscribers in charging the TINES to the
full size of ordinary country newspapers.
We therefore hope and trust our friends will
continue their exertions in its behalf.
We are now on the eve of an important
presidential election. Another great battle
is TO be fought between slavery and free
dom. The probabilities that liberty will
conquer are stronger than ever before. 1t
is therefore good time to subscribe, and
thus keep thoroughly posted as the crisis
approaches, and support your local paper
during the struggle.
AS to the aims and objects which the
TINES will seek to promote, it is hardly
necessary TO repeat them here. AS hereto.
fore it will aim TO be Independent and es.
sentially an ANTI-SLAvERY PAPER. On
this subject it will be open and emphatic
without concealment and without compro.
mise. 1t will favor no timid, time-serving
! policy, but firm adherence to free princ
Piles ard political BACKBONE.
1t will be a ice newspaper and up with
the times in which we live. Our arrange

than ever before, our acquaintance in the
surrounding country having become NOR,
extensive, and another years experience a;
