JOHN BROWN

Xee's Capture cf the kunortal John at Harper's Ferry. The Eicitrmrnt Attending Governor Wis-e'a Order to "Ca pt nre and Kill All In. adern of Virginia Soil" Interetiug Kcmmiuccnce of the Memorable Nene. New York Sun. J When it became known in Richmond.. Va. n tlie afternoon of an October day in lf-50 that (iovtrnor Wise had called out the First Kecirnent of Virginia Veluntee to proceed to Harper's Ferry and "capture or kill the foreign insurgents who had invaded and desecrated the sacred soil of the State," the excitement which prevailed beggars description. Tolitual feeling ran high, and events that had previously occurred in Kansas and elsewhere had warmed the hot blood of the 8011th to fever heat. That John Erown was in the State, ami in the possession of Hurler's Ferry, threatening to swoop down on the peaceful farms of the neighborhood and release the slaves, was a monstrous fart that to the impulsive Virginians meant war to the knife. The several companies of the regiment re pj-ended quickly, ami the wildest enthusiasm prevailed. There were then only young ami inexperienced soldiers, who had many a bitter lesion to learn afterward. Cut for the moment they were, in the eyes of the assembled mother, wives, and sweethearts, belt es who were about to risk their lives in the then much talked of 'irrepressible conflict." There were those, however, in the great multitude which gathered at tho point of departure who scanned with anxious eyos the future of which thi was but the rising of the curtain. They were the fragment cf the old Whig party then in externe, who, when the real struggle began in 1K1, rallied around the Hag of the Union tintier the leadership of John Minor Cotls, and with him remained true to the end. Virginians though they were, it was a sad hour to them when the Mower of their young hivalry stepped forth to inaugurate a war which they even then felt was to end only jn disaster. The point of rendezvous was in Croad tired, near Ninth, where stood a special train ready to take the troops to the scene of action. Just before the moment of starting Jlenry A. Wise, the Governor of Virginia, arrived, ami when it was announced that he hail lett the cares of state to engage in the Miprostd carnage of the coming battle the Leers for '"the game-cock of the Accomac'' were long and vociferous. As he entered the ears the hand, led by James Smith, a famous corr.it player in those days, played "Hail to the C hief," and as the train moved slowly up Broad street, followed by thousands on a Jialf run along the sidewalks the air was i-Lar.gcd to "The Girl I Left Ik-hind Me'' and "The Old Folks at Home." heaving Richmond soon after dark, the soldiers arrived in Washington before daylight the following morning. Hoping to be reec-fiiizeil by President Buchanan, the regiment mart Led past the White House, but the heavy tramp of a thousand men failed to disturb the slumbers of the Chief Magistrate, or at least he did not show himself, which caused Wise to indignantly declare, ""Were I l'resinent of ti e United States, no body of armed men should march through the capital of the I'nion without my knowing it." And he never forgave Buchanan for what Le termed a studied slight. A train being in readiness to convey the Virginia soldiers to Harers Ferry, there was no delay, and they arrived at the southern or eastern end of the bridge before daylight. For reasons that have not been explained, the ears i;id not cross, and the regiment, headed by the Governor disembarked. Having been fcrmed in line, Wise addressed the men in one of his impassioned sjx eches in which he called attention to the perilous mission they were about to enter, lie did not know, he s-aid, who might be on the other side of the bridge, ready to recieve them with murderous arms, out no man was compelled to cross gainst his will. Then, raising his voice, he exclaimed in his passionate way: "Cut those who believe in the integrity of Virginia, and would not see our old mot tier Suite stained by the deeds of assassin invaders, let them follow me." Thereupon the excitable old gentleman dramatically stepted out, and, of course, was followed by every man in the regiment. Much to their surprise there was not a being to be seen on the opjosite side of the bridge. They moved down the hill to the immediate vicinity of the United States armory and arsenal, and there remained under arms, waiting to see what would turn lip after daylight. The scene was not without interest. To a lover of nature it was full of beauty. The foliage of the Maryland Heights was clad in autumn hues; the great mountains on the Virginia side threw their broad shadows over the rippling Shenandoah, and calm rested on the little town that was to be so soon a theatre of strife. To the public man, watching the course of events a great tragedy was about to be enacted. The attention of the American jeople was fastened to that one spot. A principle was at stake, and men on loth sides were there to defend it with their lives. Opposite the camp the First Virginia Regiment, and well out of gun-shot range, were the armory and engine house. In the latter John Brown and his little force had taken refuge, and that they were desperate in their environment was indicated by the muzzles of a score or more rirles which could be seen ITOtruding from the at-ertuxes in the walls, t would have required a good marksman to send a bullet through one of those narrow oj-enings through which the Kansas men could at will do effective work. Meanwhile, Gov. Wise and the commanding officers of the regiment had adjourned to a neighboring hotel for consultation. With the early morning hours, other trains arrived, bringing soldiers from various parts of the State, from Winchester, Staunton, Lexington and other towns. How these eople from the valleys reached Harjer's Ferry so quickly was a mystery to the soldiers from the tidewatt r. Subsequently it was learned that where thev were no railroads the stage lines, private vehicles, and country wagons were j rtssed into service for the purjoe of bringing to the scene of action the thousands of imj-etuous men who were then a good deal more eager to tight than they were a few years afterward, when they became famous as ' Stonewall Jackson's Foot Cavalry." The trains of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad had been ordered by telegraph not to psiss Harj-er's Ferry until further orders, and there was consequently a blockade west of Martinsburr. hvery patriot on the field who wished to die for old Virginia was well aware of this, and therefore great was the consternation when in the rear a train was heard approaching. It made no sign. The whistle f the locomotive was eilent, and at a snaillike pace it crept across the bridge and stojvred at the depot. Directly a band of uniform men were seen alighting from the care. They were a body of United States marines under the command of Col. Robert E. Lee. TLey marched with disciplined step in front of the volunteers and stacked arms. Wiae was an exceedingly sensitive man, and. as a Governor, jealous of his preogatives. Under he existing conditions he was not disposed o brook any outside interference in behalf of irg:n:a. Accordingly, when a little later, veccmpanied by Gen. Talieferro, he visited hetemrjrary headquarters of Col. Lee, he amounted to the latter as he did to the Govmors of the Southern States who had offered iss-istanee in men and money. "Virginia ill vindicate herself and defend her own p'Onor." In his peculiar manner he added, What right, sir, has the federal Govern ment, through one of its officers, to interfere rwith the duties which belong aolely to the I people cf Virginia? We can uphold the lienor of the fctate, sir, without assistance

frcm outside sources, and we propose to do so." Those who overneard the remark1 heartily applauded, but it was evident that neither they nor Henry A. Wise knew the soldier who stood I efore them. Ixe did not hesitate a moment, but in his quiet, yet emphatic manner, answered : '"It so happens, Governor, that I am a Virginian by birth, but our tate has nothing to do with that property over there," pointing to the armory. "That round was ceded to the general Government y Virginia, and it and the property Which stands upon it belong to the United States, and 1 am sent here to protect it. When the armory is freed from the insurgents now In )ossessioii, I shall hand them over to you, sir, but until then I respectfully demand that we, the representatives of the United States shall not be interfered with while doing our duty in protecting the property of the whole people." Then, turning to those who were standing nearest to him. Colonel Lee said: '"Gentlemen, we are soldiers by training and profession. We are paid for doing our duty, and we propose to orey orders." With the keen sene of a 1-olitician Wise recognized the point and interposed no further objection. Lee at once gave orders for the division of Lis marines into two companies, and led by him they moved toward the building of which John Brown had taken possession. The future Commander-in-Chief of the Confederate armies at this jeriod was in the prime of life, and his handsome face, commanding figure, and utter disregard of danger while the bullets of the Kansas rifles were rattling around him, elicited the admiration of the "amateurs" who looked on wondering w hat he was about to undertake. They doubtless would have endeavored to carry the place by storm, to scale the walls, or do some other foolish though daring act in which lives would hove been sacrificed by the score. Not so with Lee. As the marines advanced, they were ordered to lay hold of two pieces of scantling that happened to be convenient, and to use them as battering rams. Giving the timbers a swing, the men advanced with a charge, and in less time than it takes to write it the massive gate was struck with such force that it gave way, and the men, dropping their ranis, rushed up the the steps leading to the towes occupied by the insurgents. The tirst officer to reach John Brown was Lieutenant Greene, of the marines, but to him the sturdy old patriot refused to surrender or deliver his sword. In the excitement of the moment the Lieutenant slashed the old man's head with his sabre. Cy this time Lee reached the tower, w hen Brown immediately handed him his sword, saying, "I surrender to no one but you, sir. Three times have I had a bead drawn on you, but von were too brave'to kill, and my heart failed me." The prisoners were then delivered to the Virginia authorities and under a heavy guard sent to Charleston jail, while the marines retained posession of the armory and arsenal. The trial, conviction, and execution of the little party are matters of history, but there are several incidents in connection with thc-e exciting days that never have been in print. Notorious among the followers of John Brown was one Capt. Cook, as he styled himself. He was not captured in the armory, but in the mountains after murdering in cold blood the old and infirm Col.- 'Washington and his wife in their own house. Cook was reported to be related to the then Governor of Indiana, and was ably defended during Iiis trial by the Hon. laniel YoorLtes. The closing speech by Mr. Voorhees is to-day in many a Virginia scrap book, and remembered for its rare eloquence. Bat it was of no avail, and the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. After the trial was concluded, fears were entertained that an effort would be made to rescue the condemned men, and accordingly the guards around the jail were doubled, and pickets were throw n out out on all the converging roads, with strict orders to allow no one to pass without the countersign. It so happened thai during this stormy period, Gov. Wise, accompanied by some friends, made a visit to a neighboring localitv, and did not return to Charlestown until after midnight, when they were encountered and challenged by one of the pickets Mr. John A. I'izzini, the present agent of the Associciated 1'ress in Richmond. The Governor and party had negleeten to obtain the pass word before leaving camp, and the challenge was peremptory. The Governor remarked: ' I am Henry A. Wise, the Governor of Virginia, and am responsible for the gentlemen of my company. 'I don't care who you are, you can't pass here, and if you move another step before the sergeant of the guard puts in an appearance it will be at your own iteril," answered I'izzini. There was no alternative but to await the arrival of the officer, who at once iermitted the gentleman to go to their quarters. I'izzini was well acquainted with the Governor and naturally thought he would be reprimanded for halting the Chief Magistrate of the State, but the contrary proved to be the case, for after the return of the regiment to Richmond, Wise sent for I'izzini and present ed him with a magnificent gold watch as -recognition of the soldierly action. On another occasion two figures were discovered by a sentinel stealing along the jail wall, and apparently making an enort to escaje under cover of the darkness of the night. For the moment the guard became confused or frightened, but as neither of the men jumjed, the soldier quickly recovered his presence of mind and gave the alarm by discharging his gun. The camp was alert in an instant. The long roll beat, and the troops hurried into line expecting some new enemy. It was then discovered that Capt. Cook and one of the colored prisoners had escaped from their cells andclimed the wall with the intention of making a break for liberty. Seeing the sentinel, neither dared to leap, and they were loth taken into the prison again to await the day of the execution. But for the cowardice of Cook, both might have made their escaie, as it was not likely that either of them would have been hit by a bullet in the darkness of the night. Strange as it may appear, a mingled feeling of sympathy if not of admiration prevailed with reference to Jon n Brown. While all Virginians declared that he should be punished, there were many among them who regarded him as a fanatic and tx brave to swing. The story that Brown kissed a negro baby at the foot oi the gallows is an invention, for there were no colored jeople in the immediate vicinity of the execution.. John Brown demeaned himself like a hero. His step was firm, his eyes steady, his voice free from any indication of weakness, and his commanding figure and long flowing beard, together with the unquestionable bravery with which he met his doom, all combined te elicit the resjectof even his enemies.

Tall Shop Gfrla 1'referred. Boston Globe. "Tall saleladies wanted." So reads a small placard in the window of one of the largest Tremont street dry -goods stores. "Why is height an essential?" the proprietor was asked. "Because," he replied, with a smile, "I think that tall saleladies give more character to a store. Then, too, I have an idea that ladies, as a class, prefer to trade with tall girls." "Have you no other reason for desiring tall girls?" "Xone, whatever, for all our heavy work, as handling rolla of cloth, etc.. is done by men, and we only give the girls such work w requires but little physical exertion." Character is so largely effected by associations that we can not afford to b indifferent as to who and what our friends are. They write their names in our albums, but they do more, they help make us what we are. Be, therefore, careful in selecting them ; and when wisely selected, never sacrifice them. M. Hulburd.

Some ten years aps 1 had a scrolulous sore on my ri;ht baud which pave me great troul.e, aud under the old-time treatment was healed up, and I sutix.sed I vhs well. 1 found, however, it had only hcen driven into the svstem hy the use of potash and mercury, and In March, 1nA it broke out in mv throat, and concentrated iu what the doctors denominated cancer. I wn placed under treatment for this disease. Some six or seven of the Itest phvsicians of the country had met me at difl'erent times under their charjte, among them three specialists iu this- line; but oue alter another would exhaust their skill and drop me, for I grew w orse continually. The cancer had eaten through mv t-hcek, destroying the roof of my mouth and upper lip. destroyiiiR the palate and under lip entirely and half my tongue, eating ont to the top of my left cheek bone ana up to the left eye. From a heart v robust woman of l'0 unds, I was reduced to a mere frame of skin ans honen, almost unable to turn myself in bed. I could uot eat any solid food, but subsisted on liquids, aud my tougue wan bo far gone I could not talk. The aupuish of miud and the horrible mi fieri tigs of the body which I exjerienced can never be revealed. Uiven up by physicians to die. with no hope of recovery upon the part of friends who sat around my bedside expeetinir every moment to 1 ray last; in fact, my husband would place his hand on me every now and then to see whether I was alive or not, and at one time all decided that life was extinct, and my death was reported all over the country. sueh was mv wretched and helpless condition the 1st of last October (IHM), when my frieuds commenced giving me Hwift'a Specific. In less than a month the eating places . atopped and healing commenced, and the fearfnl appertnre ia mv cheek has been closed anil firmly knitted to tether. A process of a new upper lip is progressing finely, and the tongue, which was almost destroyed, in leing recovered, and It seems that nature is ftuoplyiug a new tongue. 1 can talk do that my friends can readily understand me. and can eat solid food again. Iam able to walk about wherever I please without the assistance of anv one, and have trained fifty pounds in flesh. All this under the blessing of mercifnlly Heavenly Father, is dne to Swift's Specific. I am a wonder and a marvel to all my friends, hundreds of whom have known my Bufferings, and have visited me in my affliction. While I am not entirely well, yet my gratitude is uone the less devout, and I am eon tident that a perfect recovery is now iu sight. If any donbt thee facts, I would refer them to Hon. "John H.
