Escape, Capture and Enecution.-The tel
graph has announced the escape, recapture
and execution of negro jim, for the murder
of Mr.. James 7 Bunch, his ov erseer. He
was hung at Liberty, Bedford county, on
Friday. The Lynchburg Virginian, noticing
his escape says
A large posse of officers and citizens were
constantly on the search tor him. He was
seen several times and shot at twice, one load
taking effect in his arm and the other in his
face but in both instances he ma naged to
elude the vigilance of his pursuers. On
Wednesday night, short time after dark,
he made his appearance at the kitchen OF Mr.
Henry Lloyd, in the Peatown neighborhood,
some fifteen miles south of Liberty, and re-
quested the cook to give him something to
eat, and provide place for sleeping, said he
had eaten nothing since he got out of jail,
nor had he slept any. He also told the wo-
man that if she informed her master Of his
whereabouts he would kill her. The woman
gave him some food, of which he ate very
heartily, and afterwards provided him with
pallet on the floor, which he took posses
sion of, and was very soon in sound sleep.
As soon as the woman could get out, she
went to her master and informed him of
Jim's whereabouts. Mr. Lloyd soon procur-
ed the assistance of neighbor, and the two
secured their prisoner without difficulty, he
offering not the slightest resistance. Said
he had no disposition to injure anybody, and
his only motive in breaking Jail was to see
his relatives before meeting his awfal doom.
He was executed on Fridy evening. He ac-
knowledged the justice of his doom, and
said he alone was the murderer of Burch,
though the other negroes urged him to the
commission of the act, and assisted in bury.
ing the body Of the unfortunate man.

The CooLtE TRADE.-A letter to the New
ark IN " Mercury, dated Hong Kong, Dec.
IA, 1859, alludes to recent transactions in
the coole trade, and says:
"One hundred and fifty coolies were libe.
rated ON the 9Th instant by the authorities.
They W ere found on board Macao passage
boat, and were about to be taken to Macao,
there to be sold to the coolie ship. They
were from one of the up-coast ports, and had
been Hcontracted" with to labor at Macao.
Recently at Whampoa the slave depots were
surrounded by Major Tan and the entire ma
tive slave community were released. At
the same place, not long since, fife en- krok-
ers, who had been concerned in stealing ma
tives and selling them into bondage, were
captured and beheaded, and their heads ex-
posed on poes-a warning which Others will
do well to heed. This trade is Infamous to a
degree, and it is gratifying fact that the au;
thorities are arousing to the Importance OF
suppr essing it,"

An Election Scene sn Canadian City.-
The English papers have quoted freely from
American journals, accounts of rietous cleo
tion scenes in our cities,as illustrative of the
failure of Republican institutions in this
country. An election took place in Montreal
on Friday week, for Mayor and other city
officers, and the Pilot thus describes the
scenes there enacted:
awe regret to state that the services of
the Active Volunteer Force were to-day
called into requisition; that horse, foot and
artillery surrounded the city hall; the guns
we know not if they were loaded with grape
shot or canister, but the effect was the same
were placed in position, commanding the
ingress and egress to the Bonsecours market
and that, apparently, without any cause,
much sensation and excitement has taken
place. That parties were assaulted and beaten
yesterday is beyond doubt; but that any
thing was done to constitute riot, or to
cause frightful military display, we have yet
to learn"

Am-UNcLE NED.
There was an old fellow. whose name wa,
Jimmy Buck,
But he died long ago, long ago;
He had some brains, but very little pluck,
When called the pluck for to show.
Then lay by the sccptrc and the crown,
Hang up the nitre and the gown.
There S no more luck for poor old Buck,
His hopes and horns are broken down.
His fingers were long as the Treasury wa.
deep,
His eyes he used Tor to see;
SO round and about the money bags he d
creep,
For he could mt let the moncy-bags be.
Chorus.
When Democracy split, Buck took it very
hard,
And his tears fell in little shower,
For he knew that from spoiS he was forever
barred,
And he'd meier again get into power.
Chorus.
So Old Buck died and they put him in the
ground,
The Democrats sat upon his bier,
All sworc such another Buck never could be
found,
And each Shed very little tear.
Lay down the shovel and the hoe,
Put the tomb stones both in row;
There's no more luck for poor Old Buck
He's gone to that locality specially dcsig.
mated by watchlul Providence as the pas
ture lot Tor WORKOUT old Bucks.
