Even the neire of the ta'l of the ecaf: fold # emed to have a charm for many personas who were unable to obteinadmittance, and every item of intelli- § £ce reporied on the outside was groedily devoured by the buiding, Lorg betore noon a large crowd had assemble 4 in front Of the jail, The court house roof was D'ack with human belrgs, the windows ot the rooma in the second sory of the same building, which overlook the jail yard and the gallows, were crowded by a sea of heads, the engine houre tn the sietaily, as well as trees, and some private es, and the wall around the jail yard were crowced with people. It presented more the rcene of t 4 umphesnt entry of sume conquering hero than tke exe- eution of a beirg for the commission of » horrible crime. At 12 o’elock M. a large party had assembied in front of the jail, and so dense was the mass that the Tepreentatives of the prevs, physicians, jurors and spe- etal deputies had hard work to presa through {t in order to obtain admittance. Notwithstandiog the great pras- sure without there was much decorum observed, and but little noive or tumult occurred to disturb the solemnity of tke mournful ocearicn. Thesolita:y and gleomy cell of the prisoner was situated in the second story of the weat wing of the prison and on the enat side of the entry. The bed bad beeu removed, and the only furniture tt contained was a stove snd obair, on whizh the erimioal occssionally sat down. When we entered he was stand- ing erect in a defiant attituds, and was talking German with great rapidity. In company with bin was his son, John Armb: uster and Rey. Wo. B. Kemmorer, and Rav. Joshua F, Derr, who were endeavoring t> administer spiritval consslation to him, which be atubborniy re- fused to receive, asserii:g his ianovenca wich much ve- hemence, and denomaciog the court, Distrist Attorney, witnesees and all others engaged in his trial as “children end fco's.” Daring this time a numer of persons, who bad been in the habit of visiting him, cailed ia to see him for the last time, ard on leaving offsred to shake bands with nim. In every instance, we balieve, he rudely refused them his baod asser iog, with many in- veciives, that ‘no maa should have his hand.” _ The Sheriff enaared and informed bim that it was about time tomeke preparations fr the dreadful changs, waish would take place ata quacter afier one o’clocs’ Tais intelligence which had wlso been c>mmuuicated to him early ia the mort ing, was recsived without auy emotiva or the movement of a musele. The reverent gentiem2n, who hed laboved for bis eterna! welfa e with so muca zeal, siitl comiaed todo so, but with littla or no effect. At times he appeared semswaas penitent, ani to rea'iza to soe extent his situation, aud once broke out ia a flood of tears. It was soon followod by a mixture of profanity and blasphemy, be‘ter becoming a pira‘e thin @ men who had to stand before the oar of nis Maker ia less than an hour. His shroud was brought in aad thrown ¢own on the chair from which he had just risen. It was of white musiin, neatly and plainty made, with sleeves and wristbancs, and nourg in locse folds upon the floor. He put iton with @ little assistance from those present, and then sat down upon the chair. is then put cn @ pair of clean stockings, all the while talking about himself ana the trial, frequently asserting his ippecense and daring tte Sheriff to hang him. He then raid he wished it waa cver, it hehad togo, and aup- posed he inust die, whether be was guil'y o: ianoeat. His chiid:en need not be ashamed of tt, nor he neither, forall the reports about him were falge. He would give oe to anything, but was not guilty. He asked fur some whirkey, looked very pale, became quiet, apgeared weak, groaned audibly, and for several minutes looked composed and resigned to hia fate. Bat this state of things was of short curation. He egaia rose up trom his chair, said they had no right to Rill im; they could not make him a murderer, and if they did kill hia, tre kil'ec bin wrongfaily. He» became fearfully excited, his lorg cishevelled hair huog loosely arouvg his temples and over hia ears, and be had a pectliatiy dem nical expression of countenance, He paced. the floor of bis cell in much anger—stamped his foot with much vebemerce, and threw his cap on the floor in a very indignant manne’, alieging that he was no* frightened, would have to die once, and ¢ alone knew be was uct guilty. He thought they could not kill him on that grourd.

They were frequently interrupted by improper anc rade conduct by the ecndemned. . ‘The Sheriff asked bim if he was guilty. The prisouer declared hia innocence. ‘The Sheriff informed bim the time for the fulfilment of the law was near at hand. A biack cap was pulled over his face, for the last time shutting the misorable wan out from the Iigh: of day ‘The wretched cuiprit hung as it were on a single hair between time and eternity. He was directed to stand where he was, and while he was talking away at a rapid rate, little expecting it, the Sheriff quickly and noise- lesaly stepped down from the p!atform, and with one well directed blow with a swivel, the trap fell, and the wretched man was launched into etefaiy. iis last wordaas heard by the Sheriff, were “you dare not hang me!’’ The fail of the trap waa instan‘aneous. The risoner was standing erec’ at the time, and being a Reavy man fell with great rapidity a clatance of about fix fect. The keot which was iatended to come behind the ear was twisted round to the back part of the neck and {instantaneous death must itnmediately have followed tte fai. There was a slight contortion of the body, and a rising of the shoulcers. ‘There was a movement of the feet, but of short dura- tion. It sppeared as if it might have been the last ex- piring struggle. After hanging 29 minutes, the phy: cians in attendance pronounced him dead, and he was placed in the coffin. The face looked natural, the eyes were open as in li‘e, with a slight discoloration about the mouth, andthe parts that had been pressed with the rope.

The leading railroad stocks were not active at the opening of the market this morning, and the ten- dency of prices from the opening to the close was downward. Nearly every stock sold realized lower prices. The market is temporarily depreased by the absence of the steamer with later advices from | Europe. We can imagine no other cause. At the first board Virginia 6's declined 3 per cent; Ili- nois Central Bonds, 4; Nicaragua Transit, }; Canton Company, 4; Cumberland, 4; New York Central Railroad, 4; Erie Railroad, j; Long Island, 4; Har- lem, J; Panama, j; Reading, 4; Michigan Central, 4; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 1; Galena and Chicago, 4; Clevelana and Toledo, 1}. Harlem second mort Gage bonds advanced 2} per cent. Milwaukie and Mississippi sold to the extent of fifty-five shares at 87 percent. This stock is gradually settling down at low prices, in strong hands, for permanent invest- ment. Itis a more productive stock than Chicago and Rock Island, which is calling seven per cent higher. Its dividends last y were more than aouble thore of the New York Centrai, and great- er than any other railroad stock in this mar- ket except Galena and Chicago. Cumberland was one of the weakest stocks in the list to-day. The privilege given by the Legislature of Mary- land to retire twenty-five thousand shares of stock, and the ability todo 80, are very different things: Many think it is a ruse to promote speculation. Incorporated coal companies have been so unfor tunate in this country that no one but the most inveterate speculators will touch that class of stocks. Reading has not varied much in market value for some weeks. It has merit enough to work its own way upward in good time. There has been for some time past considerable activity in Cleveland and Toledo, and it has run up rapidly in market value. We have not heard much about its traffic operations during the present winter, but presume they have been more favorable than antici- | pated from the demand for the stock. Cleveland and Pittsburg reactedslightly to-day. In this stock such aturn can only be temporary. In the six montbs ending November 30, 1855, this road earned, gross, $367,362 85. Its current expenses in the same time amounted to $149,991 37, leaving as net earnings for the half year, $217,361 48. Deduct for interest $90,000, and there was left a net income of $127,361 48, equal to six per cent on the capital stock of completed road for the six Construction $1,665,330 24 Equipments. 242,681 00 $1,007,711 24 (a, fuel and 259,199 38 Corh, real estate, bills receival materials oa hand .... se eeeeeeee Total .403 in+as se oe+e 482,167,110 62 A correspondent, whose communications are always to the point, gives us some importaxt facta relative to the Galena and Chicago Railroad Com- pany. We published a few days since the article referred to, and our readers are therefore better able to follow “Civil Engineer” in his review. A road like the Galena and Chicago can stand any amount of abuse and misrepresentation. Stockholders in such a concern rather see all its unfavorable points, if it has any. Its good points are well enough Known from the start by those interested. There is no doubt but that the Galena and Chicago Railroad is, at present prices, one of the best investments in the country. Had the company made but a five per cent cash dividend on the first of February, the stock would now rule in the neighborhood of 125 a 130 per cent. It would have fallen in the market no- more than the dividend, the same aa Hartford and New Haven, and New Jersey Transportation Com- pany; but because the company paid a semi-annual dividend more than three times greater than either of the above named roads, its stock opened so much below, ex dividend. We have had occasion lately to find fault with the management of this company, on: account of the careless dilatory manner its officers transact business. We are not yet disposed to be lieve that the circulars, which have from time: to time been issued by the directors, were intended’ to depress the market value of the stock, but they were in very bad taste, beaides being incorrect in all their important partieulars. The “Civil Engineer” is tho- 1oughty posted in relation to railroad matters, and good authority on all points connected with: earn- ings and expenditares:— Tue Gatzsa axp Cavaco Rairroan, A writer, who appears tu be more tovi toan kuave, bas, from sc me motive or other, addressed @ long ysrn'to ona Ct your c.temporasies on tre subject ot toe Galena road. The acticle is fu lof glaring fulsehooda and decep- tions, tre object being to keep down the stock and pre- vent it from reaching ite tras value in the market, which unquertenadly is 160 to 180 per cen’, if other stocks are vow Felling fcr uo mo. @ then t ey are worth. It is a well known maxim that wheo apy writer 1s con- <d of w glaring aod intenti nal falsehoot, it meces- sarily Cestroys tho ccedibiuty of ail his statements. I vill now show wherein this writer has {atended to descive the public, and knew that he was decciving it by the pubites a of deliberate talschood. He states the total he road completed at $9,784,591. Now matk the felsthood of this statement, carefully covered up as it is op puzpo:e to entrap fints. ‘The cost of constructing the Fulton line—tow fivished—was atated in the repoct of last rpring at $1,617,824. This he very Properly computes as 9 part of the cost, but im making up his total, mark weli that this Lnavish writer alao includes $1,0: of new tock, ard $500,000 ot bends, the proceeds of which were spplied towards paying off at d reducing the above cst of the Fuiton line. In other words $1,532 C0 of cost twice over in making up his fictitious total cost cf the road—a little error of only 25 per cent ! Having cotvicted this man of a gross and intentional faleeheed im very impoztant particular, I shall notice out one more cf Lis many deceptions. He asserts that thia road cannot be operated for Jeaa than 40 per ceat. To convince yeu and the publis how utterly false this is, it is enly necessary to remind you that the rates rece by this icad for {ts busizess. which is chiefly treigat, are Gouble and trebie the rates of the Exie and Central r: and {te grades lofisitely better. As a necessary conse- quence the per centeg: of operating expenses on the grorg .eceipts i# not half as grea! as on the Erie and Ceus tral roads, whe-e it probably reaches 60 to 60 per cent. Here is another important ceception givbeted. Tce atsailent admits that the earnings of the Galena roud were in 1854, $7,109 per mile, on 180 miles of road; Iu 1855, on 221 miles of road, $9,700 per mile—that is as much per mile ax the Hertford and New Haven rcad—the most profitable railroad at the Fast—earns at double the coit per wile. Now, does not this demonstrate uoanswera- bly that the exrension of the road. instead of being a waste of mcrey, as “Switchbottom”” falrely pretends, has been extremly profitable: Can “Switchbottom”’ point us t months. It should be borne in mind that the re- | { cg the history of roads, of this enormow i turns from most of the Western railroad companies | cresse of earnings per mile, on such an increased lergth of road in a sirgle year? Tce net earnings of this road last year, beyond all doubt, were over $1,600,000. It is absolutely certata that it must do still betver next year, because, the crops al- ready secured to come over it, are far greater than last year, and on a longer lice. Tho whole iine-to the Missis- aippi is now completed and the construction account cloned. It is utterly impossible that its net income for the carsent year shoud be less than 26—and it will pro- bably be £0 per cent. I am informed by several of the most wealthy ard influential persons connested with this rond that the line being now finfshed and $1,300 000 of ita bonds unsoid, its earnings will no longer be applied to coas'ructiye purposes, and that at any rate up to twenty Per cent, tre net ear: will be hereafter divided in cath ten per cent next August, and ten per cent in Feb- ruary. Now my advice to the illustrious army of flats iz, to believe all the falsehoods which any person may choore to publish sbout this road; and if they. wish to do the neat ard srart thing, let them sell out now and in- yest in some one of the various stocks which, at the same price, are yieldizg one third of its net revenue. Having deait thus avfficiently with one convisfed slan- derer of what is, usdeniedly, and beyond all. dispute in- cemparably the most productive rallroad property in this country, no noties will be taken by me of amy further at- tempts to disparsge it. These cf the “brethren” who require a strengthening plaster and an antidote against ween tickness will do weil after selling out, to cut out this article, wafer it carefully in the bottom ‘of their hata and compere the price of this stock as i: will stand on the 16th of August with the price as it stands now. Within thirty days, all this stock which can be had below 130, will be Bought up by a few sharp men who thcrougbly understand its value, but desire that the public should not understand it. © CIVIL ENGINEER. The annexed statement exhibits the quantity and value of foreign dry goods entered at this port for consumption, for warehouse, and also the with- drawals from warehouse, during the week ending and incinding Thursday, February 21, 1856:— Movements 1x Forsiax Dry Goons. Enlered for Consumplion, Quantit are from lines but partially completed. Proper al- lowance should be made for for the fact that most of the lines have really but one end, and we cannot judge fairly of their probable productiveness until they have reached the points proposed when coms menced. Erie an@ New York Central were coms paratively quiet to-day. Both sold at lower prices. Harlem, Long Island and Hudson River were not at all active. Railroad bonds are better held at this moment thanever before. They are well distributed, | and retained for permanent investment. Under an easy money market first class railroad bonds must appreciate in market value as much as any other security. Our supply of the A No. 1 kind is being gradually reduced by remittances to Hurope to fill foreign orders, and those who are now neglecting the opportunity to get a class of stock securities at low prices, with fixed rates of income, will not have to live long to regret it. At the second board a small amount of business was transacted. As a general thing the market was lower. We notice the sale of two small lots of Wisconsin Lake Shore Railroad at 72} a 723 per cent § This is, we believe, the lowest well established divi dend paying railroad stock in the section of country in which it is located. The trade between Milwau- kie and Chicago is already quite large, and as these cities and the intermediate places increase in popu > tion, business, &c., the Lake Shore Line of road must be highly productive. The above road passes through Racine and Kenosha, both cities of some importance. In such a high latitude, roads running along the lake shore must, during a large portion athens nag MLsed of the year, command the bulk of travel and traffic, | Manu‘gctures of wos “Rast | ee'ss The present pause in speculation and slight depres- td Pig sion in prices will enable many new outside pur- sencotehe ‘alaso 61,212 chasers to come in upon more favorable terms.

Trains are now running to that point, and already the receipts are much above expenses. The next section, to Warsaw, will be opened in May, and to Plymouth, Ind.,in June next.

The Independent again gives a Hist o.° failures which have occurred within a recent period. It seems the principal number occurred north of Mas#@& Dixon's line. Owing to the prevailing inactivity the gnst week, there was a slight falling off in some deeriptions of foreign goods. The business, however, vMthin a day ortwo, has displayed unusual activity; mer- chants from the West are arriving more freely,-and purchasing to a greater extent. In domestic gosds the business has béen quite fair for the season, ait@ in the claas of tabrics suitable for the export trad the market has been firm and tolerably brisk. There was a good demand for cloths, with a light stock of . oouast 00 | medium and low grades. Cassimeres and satineta were without change of moment. Tweeds and -$2,167,110 62 | jeans were dull.

Prints were in reduced supply for the season, the hard frosts of the last few weeks having interrupted receipts. Madders were worth 9c. a 104c., with pretty free sales. Mousline de laines are in light supply, owing to the interruption to re- ceipts, and the demand was rather in advance of the supply Bteck Exchange.
