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.

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. ' _————40<.>o _ ' Wilton.—Rev. S. R.

Whatever may be thought of Brown’s conduct at Harper’s Ferry, there can be but one opinion of his heroism in Charlostown J ail. 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.

Litchfield Conn., Nov. 21, 1859. _ 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.

Prefer Cranberry i, -—_ ' !_—.—I——-L 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.

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. «o A. Course of Lectures at South Norwalk.

We have some person- al knowledge of the, almost,iinpossibilify of keeping the walks clear in front of a new building, yet we are prepared to insist that it should be done. to the utmost, and are will- ing to take our indifldnal share of blame, as "Spriggs'ne" nudges us on the shoulder and says a Certain edifice west side the bridge should be included in the same category. We will append in self justification however, that we kept a lantern hanging up to light the walks, till some scsmp stole it. . «Q». ~ . ”Goodsell it Langley’s Dramatic Com- pany announce an entertainment for this Tuesday evening.at Phenix Hall. , They gave one last evening at the some place.- They have appeared before audiences of the first citizens of Hartford and ‘New Haven. and bear the hearty commendations of the press of those cities.
