latter agreed to do so if the Colonel would
also agree TO protect the settlers in that
region OF tho Territory. This was the
celebrated "Battle Of Black Jack Point"
made famous by the III O. p" Kansas
correspondent Of the ST. Louis "Republi-
can" who was the heroic commander of
the surrendering party. Capt. Blown was
not much heard Of again until the notori-
.eus Captain Hamilton made his incursions
into Southern Kansas from Missouri, in
1858. when he raised another company,
and, with Capt. Montgomery, drove Ham
iltonand his companions back to Missouri,
and, marching his men into that State.
took possession Of one of the villages. shot
one or two men and liberated slaves. This
course of Brown WAS repudiated by Gov
ernor Robinson and the leaders of the free
State party, in and out of Kansas. which
caused Brown to publish letter explain
ing his position, in which he assumed
the entire responsibility of his acts, and
relieved the free State men from any share
therein. The letter was called the Two
Parallels" on account Of the peculiar dis
:inction made by the writer.
Capt. Brown was firm believer in The
doctrine Of the Presbyterian Church. He
was faualical on the subjec, of anti-slavery,
and seemed to have the idea that he was
specially depuled by The Almighty to lib
crate slaves and kill slave e-holders 1t was
always conceded to him that he was a
conscientious man, very modest in his de-
meanor, apparently inofensive until the
subject of slavery was introduced, when
lie would exhibit feeling of Indignation
unparalleled. He spent portion of the
last sumner in visiting different Northern
cities, and was rendered sums of money.
with the understanding that lie wished to
secure litlle farm upon which to settle
in his old age. 1t is supposed that he
employed this money thus obtained to
hire the farm near Harper's Ferry, which
he used as rendezvous for the insurrec-
tioniss, and near which he 80 recently
paid the last debt of nature. 81

Value of n Brooklyn Farm
p Twcnty Years Ago.

= The following extract from the New
York correspondent of the Schoharie Re
publican" is interesting: ..
"One pleasant day in the Summer of
1886. gentleman called at one of those
quiet farm houses in olden Brooklyn. then
occupying the site of the present palatial
MANSIONS on Brooklyn heights. He asked
TO see the owner of the farm, was invited
into neat parlor, with neat green paper
window curtains, and a bunch Of aspara-
gus topsiin an old fashiobed fireplace
The stranger made but short stay, but
when he left he bore with him a signed
and sealed contract for the sale of his farm
at the extravagant price Of $50. 900. The
farmer and his wife we're crazy with joy;
the price given was beyond their widest
anticipations; and while they were thus in
.dulgng,n congratulations upon their good
luck. and dreams Of happiness their unex-
pected wealth woulI bring, another vsi-
tor came, another gentleman from the big
city across the river. He, too, wanted to
buy the farm; was told that anotheE had
just purchased; inquired the price paid.
and when told the amount, remarked that
it was worth twice that sum, and he wouli
readily y pay the lucky purchaser $50. 900
for his bargain. Disappointment and
yexation at such loss turned the farmers
brain, and that night he died by his own
hand. a.r. .~,s .u,r.s

Clark Mills has recently completed
an immense equestrian statue OF
" ashington, which is the greatest
work of the kind ever executed 1t
will be inaugurateG on the 22d of Feb.
next. Senator Hunter, of Virginia,
it is thought, will be the orator on the
occasion.
This statue represents Gen. WASH
ington at the battle of Prime eton at
the most critical moment of that de-
cisive contest. lie is mounted on his
horse, which rears backward upon
launches, alarmed at the roar of bat
tie; his sword is drawn, and his in
trepid countenance seems to defy the
danger.by which he is menaccd.-
The statue possesses the merit of be-
in a faithful portrait, as the artist has
modelled the features Of the General
from the plaster cast taken by Hou-
don from Washington himself. and
which, until recently, was preserved
at Mount Vernon. The costume OF
the rider, and the caparisons of his
horse. are accurate copies of originals

SHOOTING ExTRAoRDINARY.-The

from the London Athenaum: "a few
days ago we saw the range and accu-
racy of the new Armstrong gun tested
in a way which demands a note
Cooling ourselves on the Essex coast,
near the artillery practising ground,
we asked to see the firing, and while
this goes slowly and solemly on, one
of the party spies flock of geese far
out to sea. "There, they light on yon
sand-bank. up goes dozen glass
es. Yes, there they flicker in the sun
gray and white; mere specks in the
blue sea air. Load the gun-load at

Boat off there to the sands. a signal
tells the tale. The shot has struck
the swarm-a life is taken from the
flight-and this at six miles and seven
furlongs from the mouth of the gun!"

Sir Archibald Allison's article in
Blackwood, criticising Macaulay and
his History, traces Macaulay's pedi-
gree to Highlander and a quaker
ess, and says:
with Highland and Quaker fow-
ing in equal currents through his
veins, it is difficult to say whether a
Highlander or a Quaker is the more
favorite object of his satire and butt
for the shafts of his ridicule; whether
George Fox, or Coll of the Cows,
comes in for the larger share Of his
contempt; whether the enthusiast
who took off what we are in the hab-
it of considering as tie most essential
tial of all garments, to walk in the
simplicity of nature through the
streets of Litchfeld, or the native of
the Grampians, who never possessed
such an article of dress, at all, is the
more ridiculous in his eyes; whether
in short, he despises most those who
gave birth to his father or mother"
The Nevada journal., 1859-11-11

Prentice, of the Louisville Jour
nal, speaks thus to his readers:
"Those who think that, in order to
dress well, it is necessary to dress ex-
travagantly and gaudily, make a
great mistake.
Nothing becomes true feminine
beauty as simplicity. We have seen
many remarkably fine person rob-
bed of its fine effect by being over
dressed. Nothing is more unbecom-
ing than overloaded beauty. The
simplicity of the classic taste is seen
in the old statues and pictures, ,paint-
cd by men of very superior artistic
genius. In Athens, the ladies were
not gaudily but simply arrayed, and
we doubt whether any ladies excited
more admiration. So, also, the no.
BILE old Roman matrons,whose superb
forms were worthy of them, were al
ways very plainly dressed. Fashion
often presents the lines of the butter
fly. but fashion is not a classic god
dess."

Gen. Scoft's Missions.-It is diff
cult to say, SAYS the New York 1'ri-
bune, how we should get on without
Gen. Scott. He seems to be the man
relied upon in all difficult emergen-
cies involving the danger or reality
of armed collision. By the services
which he has thus repeatedly rem
dered on such occasions, he we'll de-
serves the title of the Great Pacifca-
tor.
When the South Carolina nullifers
undertook to put stop to the collec-
ton of the Federal revenue, General
Scott was placed in command at
Charleston as the officer whose firm
pess, prudence, good temper and
practical good sense could best be re-
lied upon to meet that delicate emer-
gency When the unlucky Chero-
KEGS. being required to emigrate to
the west Of tie Mississippi, on the
strength of bogus treaty, to which
they had never consented, and against
the validity Of which they had al
ways protested, threatened to reduce
the Government to the disgraceful ne
cessity of employing actual force,
Gen. Scott was sent into their coun~
try, and by mingled frmness and con-
citation succeeded in effecting their
peaceful removal. When we were
threatened with war growing out of
the contested North eastern boundary
the militia of Maine having actually
taken the field, Gen. Scott was dis
patched thither to keep the peace.
In like manner, he was sent TO the
Niagara frontier when the zeal Of the
sympathizers with the msurrection
in Canada, and the feeling growing
out of the destruction of the steamer
Caroline, threatened a serious COLI
sion in that quarter. Now that Gen.
Harvey has endangered the peace on
the far North western frontier, in
spite of the distance and his age and
infrmities, Gen. Scott is despatched
thither as the only man the Admins
tration venture to trust. The emer~
gency is evidently regarded as of a
grave character, but no doubt Gen.
Scstt will show himself as efficient on
this occasion as upon SO many similar
ones.

owners we learn that she was fired
into by II. B. NJ steam sloop- of-war

as the Hazard was running north,
with studding sails on both sides. she
made a two-masted steamer some IL
miles ahead, on the starboard bow,
and steering for her, and showing
English colors. The Hazard ran up
the flag to the peak, and it blew out
we'll. The steamer continued to bear
down for her until within about mile,
when. being forward of the bark S
starboard beam. she fired a gun
The shot came whizziDg over the
Hazards deck, between the fore and
main masts. and struck the water
within two hundred feet of her side to
larboard, and she hove to. The stea-
mer sent boat alongside with two
officers. who asked the name of the
vessel and that of the master. They
stated the name of the steamer to be
the British sloop-of-war Pluto. The
captain of the Hazard declined to
permit them to come on board, tell
ing them they had exceeded their or
ders. They replied, I'VE don't get our
orders from you. Let us see your
papers, and they were shown. Cap
tain Goodridge asked them how they
came to fire into them, as her flag was
up. They replied, On your flag.
We wanted to see your papers. >
When about to leave they asked,
"Do you want US to enter any COM
plant in your log ?" and the reply
was, "No." They then asked, "Can
we do anything for you 2" and neg
alive answer was returned, and bid
