shriek—Lucy’s voice. I sank down—

servants rushed up, breathless. -

[Conduded.mt week]

“ Old Virgin; neber tire."
Great Commotion,

Monday of last week was spent in a
g’rand military review by Gov. Wise.—

uring the afternoon Gov. Wise and his
stafi‘ had a long interview with the pris-
oners, urging them to prepare for death,
as the sentence of the court would be car-
ried out without any interference on his
part.

 

die, and justified his course, only regre t-

to pass. Cook was willing to be shot,
- but always had a great repugnance to
hanging. Gov. Wise said that Coppie.
was the only one that he had even
- thought of commuting, but now he had
determined to hang them all Gov. Wise
on Monday received a dispatch f:om the
. Governor of South Carolina tendering
,_ any amount of military aid he might
need in defence of Virgini Wise re-
plied thanking him for the r, but as-
suring the Governor that Virginia was
able to defend herself. .
The Richmond military were all order-
ed home, but the people protested, decla-
ring that if there was any necessity for
them to come, that necessity still existed.
The result was that Gov. Wise ordered
two Richmond companies to remain, and
also the Petersburg artillery. Several
of the Richmond companies started for
home that morning, and others went on
Tuesday.
Wise took care to reassure the fainting
' courage of the Charlestown people by de-,
claring that he would have a thousand
troops there on the day of the execu-
tion. At Harper’s Ferry the Governor
stated that he had no doubt of a deter
mined and thorough organization through-
out the Northern and Western States to
rescue Brown, and showed a number of
letters from parties in Pennsylvania and

New York and Ohio, urging him to be .

prepared for parties forming 'in those
totes. More troops are being concen-
trated from every direction at Charles-
,town. '

 

Wanxnsnxv.—-Gov. Wise left Harper’s
Ferry this morning for Richmond, after
receiving a dispatch from Gov. Packer
of Pennsylvania, tendering him the ser-
vices of 10,000 men, and ofi‘ering to sta-
tion 'a guard along the dividing line be-
tween Pennsylvania and Maryland—-
Gov. Wise returned thanks for the offer
assuring Gov. Packer that Virginia was
able to protect her honor. After the de.
parture of the Governor, Col. Elliot ad
dressed the military, telling them it was
possible they might have to undergo ar-
duous and perilous duties, and that he
felt himself satisfied that shbuld the ven-
erable Commonwealth be invaded, they

OUR TOWN ELECTION.

The attention of our earnest, wide awake,
and working band of Republican electors is
invited to the notices above,ond we entreat all
of them, whether able to attend the primary
meeting on Friday Evn’g, or not (although
this is desirable) to he certainly at the polls
on Monday next. The political efi'ect of this
election will be more important than any
which has occurredsince the spring of ’56, as
the Board now chosen will remain in office
not only through} the very important State
Election of next Spring. but until after the
Presidential Election of 1860. Of the indi-
viduals who are to comprise .our ticket we
have heard but few opinions expressed, prob-
ably all will cheerfully unite in supporting
whoever may be fairly nominated.

run IELECTIEN

Constitute a body of very great conse-
quence to the citizens and fa: payers of the
town and should be composed of men of pecu-
liar fitneis. They hold the town purse and to
a great extent hsvcthe power to make our
taxes large or, small It is a gainless and
thankless omco and he should have the award
of the public gratitude, at least, who will ac-
cept the position.and faithfully serve the
town. There are many arguments in favor of
continuing the old board if they will accept
a reelection, prominent among which is a
knowledge of the true condition of the poor,
so as to discriminate between the worthy and
impostora. The old board are also supposed
to be better qualified to guard the ballot box
against fraud, as the alteration of the poll
lists, deaths, removals, commissions of crime
dtc., are more likely to be known to an old
board. We might further state the fact that
we have never heard less complaints against
any board .we have heretofore had, of inaction
or iuemcieucy. Nevertheless it may be deem-
ed sdvisable to make a change.

Tun Town Chunk.

This is by far the most valuable ofiice, to
theincumbentjn the gift of the town. Should
it not then be given to some one of our hard
working Republicans? We certainly have
competent man enough to whom its emolu-
ment. would be a great assistance, who sacri-
fice their time and their money in attendance
on Conventions, Elections, and in personal
labors for the general welfare of the party.—
Why would not it be fair play to apply the
doctrine so loudly advocated by the present
incumbent, while the position was held by the
late Judge Isaacsi-of “Rotation?” Mr.Weed’s
pecuniary necessities, are certainly such as
to render its continuance, on that score, un-
necessary. We urge the nomination of an-
other man therefore, and we do it from no ill
will towards the present occupant, who, al-
though not after our pattern of a perfect man,
and useful citizen. has been a faithful
Clerk for near a score Of years. How-
ever,, we shell support him again, as we
always have done, if nominated.

The Collector of Taxes. the Treasurer,Con-
stables, the Registrar, School Visitors, Grand
Jurors, etc.,/are all more or less important
offices, and should be judicially selected with
reference to their character and fitness for the
positions they are to occupy.

There are other matters of public interest,
claiming the attention of the inhabitants of
the town. Among them we will now only
refer to two reforms which we hope to see
established. First, our Board of Assessors
and Board of Relief should be chosen by but I-
101, instead of by the present eiea eoce mode
of selection and election. They are both
exceedingly important offices, and the gentle-
men composing them should bo selected with
mature care and deliberation. Electing by
ballot ‘will ensure this result. We do not
design to express any want of confidence in
the board just elected, although the individu-
al who mundgerfor that body has rendered
himself perfectly ridiculous in tire eyes of all
liberal minded men, by going ofi'to New York
or somewhere else. to get our assessors blanks
printed. The om'ect sought, aside from the
1c ading characteristics of the man, which
h as impelled him through life. to do nothing
i s aid of the business prosperity of his neigh-
bors or of the, town, was to deprive us of a few
paltry cents profit on the annual job. We eu~
tertain no hostility of feeling towards him.
however, on that account, as the. neuron cos

' we have had that such pitiful littleneas is

disapproved by all right-minded meu,ie worth
more than the few coppers we should have
received. We do not know but the chairman
of that board is the fittest parses to be found
for the place. We are rsthorinclinod to be-
lieve he might be, and if so doomed we should
cocci-fully support him, notwithstanding his
eccentricities towards our ofilce—these can
only provoke a smile of merriment. But
such trivial matters- have no bearing on
the advantages of electing these boards by
ballot. .

Another matter of even greater moment
and one out of which grows more heart burn-
ings, bickeriqgs and contentions in the town,

bined is the cemmou practice of calling
Special Town Meetings. This system should
be radically changed and no town meeting
for any purpose whatever should hereafter be
held without first having been made as pubLic
as it is possible to do.
Republicans, one and all, be on hand on
Monday next, and do what you can for the
credit and welfare of the town.

QG~The following correspondence speaks for
itself. Whatever may be thought of Brown’s
conduct at Harper’s Ferry, there can be but
one opinion of his heroism in Charlostown

To run Romans or Tn Irmzrn'nxa'r :

hly aged friend, Rev. B. L Vail] of this place, re-
members John Brown as having been under his in.
struction in the year 1817, at lilorris Academy He
was a godly youth, laboring to recover from his disad-
vantages ofoarly education, in the hope of entering
the ministry of the gospel. Since then, tho teacher
and pupil have met but once to take “a retrospective
look over the route by which God had led them.” But
a short time since, Mr. Vaill wrote to Brown in his
prison a letter of Christian friendship, to which ho has
received the following heroic and sublime reply.

Has ever such an epistle been written from a con.
demoed cell, since the letter “to Timothous,” when
Paul ‘was brought before Nero the second ti me P”

I have copied it faithfully from the autograph that
lies before me, without the change or omission of a'
word, except to omit the full name of the friends to
whom he sends his message.

The words in italics and capitals are so underscored
in the original. The handwriting is clear and firm,but
toward the and oftho shoot seems to show that the
sick old man’s hand was growing weary. The .vcry
characters make an appeal to on Io: our sympathy and
prayers. “His salutation with his own hand. Re.

A Letter from Capt. Brown in Prison. -

Cnaanzsrows', J efferson Co., Va.,
Nov. 15, 1859.
Rev. H. L. VAILL :

My Dear Steadfast Friend : Your most
kind and most welcome letter of the 8th inst.,
reached me in due time.

I am very grateful for all the good feeling
you express, and also for the kind counsel
you give. together with your prayers in my
behalf. Allow me here to say, that notwith-

‘ standing“my soul is amongst lions.” still I

believe that"God in very deed is with me.”
You will not therefore feel surprised when I
tell you that I am “joyful in all my tribula
tions ;” that I do not feel condemned of him
whose judgment is just ; nor of my own con-f
science. Nor do I fell degraded by my im-
prisonment. my chain, or prospect of the gal-
lows I have not only been (though utterly
unworthy) permitted to “suffer afiiction with
God’s people,” but have also had a great
many rare opportunities for “ preaching
righteousness in the great congregation.” I
trust it will not all be lost. The jailer (in
whose charge I am) and-his family, and assis-
tants, bave'all been most kind ; and notwith-
sta nding he was one of the bravest of all who
fought me, he is now being abused for his hu-
manity. So far as my observation goes, none
but brave men an likely to be humane to a
iallen foe. “Cowards prove their cdurage
by theirferociiy.” It may be done in that
way with but little risk. .

I wish I could write you about a few only
of the interesting times I here experience with
difi‘erent classes of men, clergyman among
others. Christ, the great captain of liberty
as well as of salvation, and who began his
mission, as foretold of him, by proclaiming it,
saw fit to take from me a sword of steel after
I had carried it for a time; but he has put
another in my hand, (“the sword of the Spir-
it,") and I pray God to make me a faithful
soldier, wherever he may send me, not less
on the scaffold, than when surrounded by my
warmest sympathizers. ,

My dear old friend, I do assure you I have
not forgotten our last meeting, nor our ret-
rospective look over the route by which God
had then led us ; and I bless his name that be
has again enabled me to hear your words of
cheering and comfort at a time when I,at
'least, am on the “brink of Jordan.” 'See
Bunyan’a Pilgrim. God in infinite mercy
grantiis seen another meeting on the oppo-
site shore. I have often passed under the 'rod
of him whom I call my father ; and certainly
no son ever needed it of’tener : and yet I have
enjoyed much of life, as I was enabled to die-
cover the secret of this somewhat early. It
has been in making the prosperity and. the
happiness of others my own ,- so that really I
have had a great deal of prosperity. I am
very prosperous still ; and looking forward
to a time when “peace on earth and good-
will to men” shall everywhere prevail. I

ings to fret my mind. "I’ll praise my Maker
with my breath.” ‘

I am an unworthy nephew of Deacon John,
and I loved him much ; and in view of the
many choice friends Ibave had here. I am led
the more earnestly to prey, “gather not my
unriglileousneu.’

Your assurance of the earnest sympathy of
the friends in my native land is very grateful
to my feelings ; and allow me to say a word
of comfort to them : .

As I believe most firmly that God reigns, I
cannot believe that anything that I have done,
suflcred, or may yet safer, will be lost to
the cause of God or of Immunity. And be-
foreI began my work at Harper’s Perry, I
felt assured that in the were! ev cut, it would
certainly rev. I often expressed that belief;
and I can now see no possible cause to alter my
mind. I am not as yet, in the main, at all
disappointed. I have been a good deal dis-
appointed asit regards myself in not keep-
ing up to my own plans ; but I now feel en-
tirely reconciled to that, even ; for God’s

lan was infinitely better, no doubt, or I
should have kept to my own. Had Samson
kept to his determination of not telling Deli-
lah wherein his great strength lay. he would
probably have never overturned the house.—
I did not tell Delilah, but I was induced to
not very contrary to my better judgment ,-
and I have lost my two noble boys, and other
friends, if not my two eye--

But “ God’s will. not mine, he done." I
feel a comfortable hope that like that orriag
servant of whom I have Just been-writing,
earn 1 may (through infinite mercy in Christ
Jeans) yet "die in faith.” As to both the
time and manner of my death,-—I have but
little orouble on that score ; and am able to
b. (as you exhort) “ol good cheer.”

[send tbswugh you my best wishes to Mrs.
W— and her son George. and to all dear
friends. M sy .the God of the poor and ap-
pressed be the God Md Savior of you all.

Farewell, till-we We! (slain. ‘

Party Disciplinef

A. republicans have various sentiments in regard to
the qualifications of the candidate who is to represent
them in the campaign of 1860, it is important that
they should he prepared to yield their individual pref-
erences for the good of their party. To do this they
must have some sympathy for their party, some desire
to see it successful. It is very common to hear Repub-
licans say that they care nothing for party, flintthero
are certain principles which are right and for the 80°“
of the country, and if these can prevail, they care not
a groat for party success. This destitution of partisan
spirit, the necessity there is of showing to some minds
that unless their party succeeds their principles can-
30‘ prevail, has, nine times out of ten, since the foun-
dation of our government, occasioned the overthrow of
the defeated party. We want then more love of party,
more party enthusiasm. The principles of the Repub-
lican pa rty will ensure peace and tranquility to every
part of the country both North and South. These are
the principles of freedom and equal rights, which are
as essential to the prosperity of any people as light
and air are to vegetation. Shall our country be blessed
by the success of these principles, and turned .from a
course of subserviency to Slavery and wrong f If Re-
publicans act in this matter as they do when they'lay
their plans for the accomplishment of any commercial
or agricultural transaction, success will surely crown
our'lsbors in 1860. The country is ready for it. And
can the Republicans be formed into a united and en-
thusiastic party, whose members will, in the hope of
victory and in their party zeal, forget their own pro-
clivitfes and radical Opinions nothing will prevent the
complete overthrow of the present administration and
the party that supports it.

But this party enthusiasm that combines into one
harmonious whole as with a golden thread the scat,
torod members of a great National organiza tion can be
engendered and kept active only by strict party disci-
pline. , If the Republicans fail in 1860 it will be for the
want of this. Their party is at present very slack in
its discipline. Much is to be done in this respect to
render it an efficient and rolisble party. And the real
necessity of strict discipline uoone of ordinary intelli-
zonce, standing on the vantage ground which the past
history of political parties in this country has given
him, will attempt to deny Republicans can learn wis-
dom from the Democracy in this respect. With them
party means something, and the wavering, no-party
brother is decapitated so inst outer that confidence and
enthusiasm are inspired in all the other members .—
Thoy feel that there is power somQhore and this is
what challenges the admiration of the people and
keeps up their combined interest and political spirit.
They see that they belong to an organisation, so du-
ring and energetic, so full of life and vigor that every
one is cut off and deprived of his office who does not
come up to its standard of political faith. Look at the
action of the Democracy wit regard to Douglass. In
its best days would the old Whig party have attempted
to read out of its ranks Webster or Clay because these
leaders opposed it on some political question? > But
Douglass, a shrewd and crafty politician, a brilliant or-
ator, one who has the elements of popularity and from
his eminent position capable of doing infinite mischief

to the Democracy, is taken over the knee like a more -

stripling when he disoboys the dictates of his pa'ty,
however urea-anable and inconsistent they may be.
When rectitude and integrity shall have the boldness
and the wisdom of falsehood and error, we may hope
to see the success of the Republican cause. It will ro~
quire diligent effort from this time to the Presidential
campaign to give the forces of the Opposition stability
and such discipline the they can be depended upon.
Lottho Republicans then, as they love our common
country, sec to it at once that they do not loud their
support to an indifferent, no-party man who deadens
the zeal of those willing to. work. Compol us not to

lose our interest in our party because our party shows.

no interest in itself, by ‘putting in nomination those
spiritless drones whose vote is doubtful on Election
day, and whose places would be filled by hundreds of
others if they were only out of the way. Let Republi-

' cans take this matter in hand, begin at once to form a

compact, united, enthusiastic, harmonious party,
purged and pruned of those who do it only iiijury, and
in 1860 Republicanism will take the stand it had in
177s. ' Ciris.

Accident on the New York & New Ha-
. van Railroad. '

On Thursday afternoon. when the 4:30 p. or. train
from NowHaveu to NewYork reached Rye station,a lad
named Jacob Eppler, a passenger about 12 years of age
got on to the train. Just as the train was leaving the
station, he undertook to pass from one car to another
and fall between the cars. Conductor Bradley stopped
upon the platform Just as be was falling, but could not
save him from his fate. He fell to the track and six
cars passed over him, severing both arms and mang-
ling his body considerably. Ho belonged in New York
and was ondeavorin‘g to pass to a rear car to fako a
seat with a brother of his. .

No Born roR Janis BRowx.—The following letter from
Gov. Wise was received by Rev. Win. 0 Whitcomb,
of Lyunfiald, Mass., in answer to an earnest appeal that
the life of John Brown would be spared :

RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 17, 1859.
an. Sin: The very sympathy with John Brown, so
general, so fanatical, so regardless of social safety, on-

band inform the New York Times that a
statement which it copied, or rather condens-
ed from the Bridgeport Farmer—allabout “a

The lady says that " there is not one word
of truth in the whole statement,” it appear-

administer chloroform to the Farmer, but the
paper is not so very much to blame. It got
into the way of publishing bogus stories in

Congress.

This body convenes next Monday. The,
new Hall of Representatives is now filled‘ with
painters, upholsterers, &c., hurrying up the
wOrk of completion. for the incoming session.
The old desks have all been removed, and
sofas or-loungos substituted, so that members
must do their writing either at their own
rooms or in the niches in the Hall or at the
clerk’s desk, where writing tables are erect-
ed. We don’t believe the new arrangement
will prove very popular, particularly with old
members. It will seriously interfere with
the ancient. popular diversionpmong members
of speech making.

Ma. anar, we believe, leaves on Thurs-
daycf the present week. He with the re-
maindor of the Connecticut Delegation have
taken rooms at Willard's. What delays or

difficulties may environ the organization of

the House, of course cannot be determined in
advance. Our own opinion is that no serious
difficulty or delay in perfecting an early or-
ganization is to be apprehended. ’A coiom-
poray says that the Administration party has

been traversing various parts of the country,

endeavcring to patch up a combination for
the control of the House , but withcpt success
so far. The story that the Southern OPllmi'
tiou have entered into any arrangements with
them is fabulous. The wish is father to the
thought. It is positively contradicted by
letters received. They are, however, pre-
pared to aid the investigations, which is what
the Democracy most dread. The Ad ministra-
tion requires a prompt organization more
imperatively than any other party, owing to
the intense outside pressure for indebtedness.
It will be compelled to concede the plurality
rule, if any delay should occur, from afailur‘e
in the Opposition to units at the start. But
delay is apprehended by those only who do-
sire that impresion or fact to aid them in
making bargains.
