Is IT MUEDER Henry Hunter, a young
man about p, son of the Mr. Hunter who
conducted the prosecution against Brown and
his confederates at OharleStOwn, Va, testified
before the Court that he shot prisoner named
Thompson. He said
We burst into the room where he was and
found several around him, they offered but a
feeble resistance we brought our guns down
to bis head repeatedly myself and another
person, for the purpose of shooting him in the
ROOM
There was young lady there the sister of
Mr.. Fouke, the hotel keeper, who sat in this
mans lap and covered his face with her arms
and shielded him whenever we brought our
guns to bear she said to US" For Gods
sake wait and let the law take its course ::
my associates shouted to kill him " Let US
shed bis blood" were the words, all around
were shouting. Mr.. Beckham's life was
worth ten thousand of these vile aboIitonists;" :"
was cool about it, and deliberate nv gun
was pushed up 10y some one who seized the
barrel, aud then | moved to the other part of
the room, still with purpose unchanged, but
with view to divert attention from me. in
order to get an opportunity, at some moment
him after few moments thought it occurred
to Inc that that was not the proper place to
kill him; we then proposed to take him out
and hang him some persons of our band then
opened way for him and first pushing Miss
Fouke aside we slung him out of doors
gave him pnSh, and many others did the
same we then showed him along the platform
and down TO the trestlc work OF the bridge, he
begging for his life all the time, very piteously
at first.
By.theby, before we took him ont of the
room, | asked the question what he came here
for he said there only purpose was to free
slaves or die. Then he begged, Don't take
my life-A prisoner )" but | put the gun to
him, and be said, You may kill me, but it
will be revenged there are eighty thousand
persocs sworn to carry on this work" that
was his last expression. We bore him out on
the bridge with the purpose of hanging him :;
We had no rope, and none could be found it
was moment of wild excitement. Two of us
raised our guns-which one was first do not
know--and pulled the trigger Before he
reached the ground l suppose some five or six
shots had been fired into his body he fell to
the rail.track, his back down to the earth and
his face up
In the North a man who would confess
such fiendSh crime as that, would be likely
to be punished for it, But as it is no doubt
in accordance with Southern views of right.
no notice will be taken Of it by the President
or the Cabinet, or even Gov Wise.

A Serious Matter,

Or. Howe, of Boston, like Col. Forbes and
several other persons at tie North, Supposed
80 be implicated more OF less directly in Che
Harper'S Ferry invasion, have taken their de
parture for Canada. Fred. Douglass has gone
to England Others will probably initiate
their example The acknowledged motive of
their flight is the apprehension that they may
be required by the Federal Government to 20
10 Virginia as witnesses on the trial OF Stephens
which is to take place under Federal authori,
ty and in a United States Court This is
treated by some journals as AN indication of
their completely in the crime, and by others as
mere cowardce. Iu the interest of fair play
we are constrained to say that neither of these
. imputatlonS seems to US to be warranted by the
facts of the case. 1919
e. p 1t must be remembered that if summoned
by Federal authority to attend anywhere in
she United States as witnesses, these men
must 90, and such summons can be procured
e on the affidavit of any citizen f Virginia. -
Once within the limits of that State they are
amenable to its legal process, and would be.
yond all doubt, be instantly arrested on the
charge of having been accessory to- the crime
for which Brown has been sentenced tc death.
The whole object of Governor Wise in hand
Stephens over to the Federal authorities for
trial, is unqueStiOnably to bring sunlry obnox-
iouS Northern men within reach of Virginia
law. Whether it is a device worthy of one
in his position, we need not stop to inquire
But it can scarcely be considered strange that
none of these gentlemen, whether innocent or
guilty, should be unwilling thus to be drawn
into the peculiar perls which would beset them
in Virginia in the present excited state of the
public mind For they would encounter not
only the danger Of being tried by Virginia
jury. but the additional perils of a Virginia
mob. Mr.. Henry Hunters statement of his
own agency in the cod-blooded murder of an
unarmed, wounded, and disabled man at Harp
ers Ferry,-and the utter absence of a single
voice or word of disapprobation from the whole
State of Virginia of that most iuhuman and
unparalleled act, show clearly enough the pub
lie tone and temper in that vicinity What
would the life of Fred. Douglass or of DR..
Howe be worth in Richmond or in Charlestown
at the present moment
If the Government wishes to prove its good
faith in this matter, and really sift the affair
to the bottom, let it try Stephens somewhere
on this side of the boundary line, say in Penn.
Sylvania, where there will be no fear of Lynch
Law and then, if Dr. Howe and the rest re-
fuse to appear and make clean breast of it,
they will fairly lay themselves open to suspi-
cions of completely in the invaSion.-N Y.

R6~ The Washington Constitution has
vehement attack upon Hon. EDWARD BATES, as
g about the only Southern Abolitionst in ex-
istence." Except bis approval of the Fugitive
Slave law, it sees no difference between his
position and that of GIDDlNGs. 1t is quite
sure the body of the Republican Party will
never accept man so ineffably inferior to
CoRwIN as Mr.. BATES, and that, in the South,
" there is not q corporal's guard who dare to
sustain man who holds in substance the
same opinions as Gov. SEWARD ...
The NewOreans Picayune cautions the
Southern Press against the danger of copying
the infammatory Abolition documents with
which the New York Herald has been filling
its columns since the Harper's Ferry affair
1t says that Abolitionism has succeeded, in
these few weeks, in penetrating into all parts
of the South wallpapers that never reached Us
tefore, and in quantities unheard of until they
were dispensed under such patronage"

MEXICO TO BE INVADED The AdmiDistra-
tion at Washington has at last resolved upon
that decisive step which must determine the
fate of Mexico. At Cabinet meeting held
on Saturday, it was resolved 10 move an army
of occupation across the Rio Grande, and hav-
ing taken possession Of the northern States of
the Republic, to hold them until such guaran-
tees as shall insure order along the frontiers
and the safety of the various transit routes
shall have been definitely obtained The first
steps of this startling measure have already
been taken. The Quartermaster has been
ordered to provide transports for number of
companies, to be embarked at New-York ::
while another strong body of infantry, with
artillery, is to be sent down the Mississippi.
In the meantime much doubt involves the con-
dition of affairs at Brownsville. The action
of Government is evidently founded upon an
assumption oil the truth of the inform alton
transmitted to the War Department by Gen.
TwIGGs ; and yet there are grave reasons to
question the Veracity of such reports, and for
believing that, though Brownsville may have
fallen into the hands of the banditti, that no
intelligence after the fact has yet reached US
The citizens of New Orleans are preparing to
send succor to the beleaguered town.
A later disptch says that on Monday morn
ing, the Cabinet, in extra session, countermand-
ed all orders for troops to march on Mexico.

THE HERALD ON DOUGLAS.

we think that DouGLAs of Illinois, should be the para

forward to better advantage than DOUGLAS the little giant
Now, DoUGLAs, as family man, is undoubtedly good
one But we have not much sympathy for him as a
public And why? Because in the frst place he Is
cunning, shrewd politician. He cares not for the in

BA- The excitement in Virginia, thanks to
the encouragement of rumOr, is rapidly rails
ing to most Incorporate temperature. An
unfounded story, carried 10 HarperS Ferry by
a person whose classifcations as an impostor
or weaklngis still undetermined, led the Ex-
ecutive of Virginia to believe that an expedi-
tion 500 strong, and armed to the teeth, had
passed the Ohio river near Wheeling, and were
BY forced marches, fastening to the recovery
and release of JOHN Brown. Time was not
to be lost There was large body of militia
afoot at Charlestown federal troops abounded
at Harpers Ferry and the population OF
Jefferson County was pnder arms for the ex-
press purpose Of defeating any such audacious
attempt. But the necessity of larger prepaT-
ations was obvious. A body of 400 troops
had st once been thrown forward by rail
from Richmond, Gov WISE acting in person
as conductor of the martial train: others
were ordered to advance from Petersburg,
while smaller force with two pieces of arti-
lery, took the field by way of Washington
Late dispatches describe Rarper's Ferry as
alive with these heroes, eagerly expecting the
FIVE hundred, and prepared to- give them a
sanguinary welcome From Wheeling in the
mean time, we have assurances that no such
invasion of the Old Dominion had been eff
fected (; and although rumors of the appear
ance of such band in Clarke County, and of
an encounter with them there by the popalace,
are reported, we may be justified in assuming
the entire story to be the practical joke of
some thoughtless person, wicked enough to-
sport wish the appFebensions of terrified
people Nor does this cruel and iIl-timed
spirit of jest conffne itself to such misehievous
efforts The RichmoHd Examiner states that
Gov. W1ss has been warned of a scheme for
kidnapping prominent citizens of Virginia, or
members of their family, and to keep them as
hostages for the pardon of Brown and his
fellow prisoners The Eraminer also cautions
the people of the State against Rockng in
crowds to the scene of the execution, assign
ing as a reason that event will prob
ably be the time when the bomesteads on the
border will be most exposed TO peril. 1t is
reported from Alexandria that such was the
view of the imminent danger of Virginia in
that place that many persons volunteered to
accompany the military who were dispatched
to Charlestown. At Norfolk, a cIothier named
DAUNENBERG has been indicted for sedition,
bis offence being that he had expressed the
sentiment that JOHN Brown was good man
fighting in good cause, and then he had done
nothing more than any honest man would do"
The unfortunate gentleman is soon to be
brought to trial for uttering this reasonable
language.

LINE KILN.-The Barclay Railroad and

AvERrLL and is now in operation. This kiln, which
invention of Mr.. AvERILL, is noted for the superior
in which the limestone is burned the fire being
in CRATES beneath the stone and consequently no refuse
substances become mixed with the lime to niure its
quality. This kiln erected here an experiment in some
respects and succeeds admirably 1t is the first time
that coal has been used for fuel in such kiln It works
to the entire satisfaction of the builder burning the
coal from the BARCLAY mines The lime stone is brought
from the quarries in the State of New York by boats
