Triple Execution in Delaware.

--On Friday last three negroes, viz: Levi Jenkins, aged 35, under sentence of death for a rape upon a negro girl; John Cannon, aged 18, under a similar sentence for the murder of a lovely white girl of fourteen years; and a colored woman of 18 years, for the murder of an innocent babe of 14 months, were hung at Georgetown, Del. Jenkins and the woman exhibited much concern in their fate, but Cannon seemed thoroughly indifferent. Both Cannon and Jenkins, it will be remembered, escaped from the jail at Dover a week or two ago, but were soon recaptured and securely confined.
