A ScENE-On Sunday last crowd of not less
than one thousand negroes assembled on the basin
(at Lynchburg, Va) to take leave of the negroes
belonging to the estate of the late Mrs Frances B.
Shackelford, of Amherst county, who, in accord
ance with the will of the deceased, were about to
depart. 10y way of the canal for free State. The
whole number set free was forty four men, women,
and children, but only thirty left-the rest
preierring to remain IN servitude in Old Virginia
rather than enjoy their freedom elsewhere. Some
of those who did leave were thrown on the boat by
main force, so much opposed were they to leaving,
and many expressed their determination of return
ing to Virginia as soon an opportunity offered
Many were the we'll wishes rendered the departing
negroes by the crowd assembled, and when the
boats started from their wharvcs the freed negroes
struck up g Carry back to Old Virginia" which
was Joined in by one and ALL and in a tone which
indicated plainly that if left to their own free will
they would gladly spend the remainder of their
days in peace in the home of their birth. The ne
groes for several years past have been under the
charge of Mr.. II. H. Lewis, the executor, who su
perintended their removal out of the State-Lynch

CHARLEsrowS, Nov. S.--The trial of Copeland was
concluded on Saturday evening" the charge of trea-
son having been abandoned as in the case of the nc
gro Green lie was found guilty of murder and in
citing slaves to insurrecton. On Monday morning
the prisoner Stevens brought into court on his
nattrass. and whilst empannelng jury the case
was brought to close by dispatch from Gov.
Wise, received by Hon. Andrew Hunter, suggesting
that Stevens be handed over to the United States
authorities for trial.
After reading the dispatch Mr.. Hunter informed
the court that he had in his possession large num-
Der of important letters and documents impicating
IN the reasonable designs of the prisoners large
number of prominent citizens of the Northern and
Western States; which would he made public in
the trial of Stevens before the United States Court
The prisoner gladly accepted the proposition to be
handed over to the United States authorities, and
he was remanded to prison and the jury discharged
The grand jury having yesterday found true
bill against Cook, he brought out for trial this
morning. "A jury was empannelled, when the Hon.
A. Hunter arose and read in open court full con-
fession written by Cook, giving all the details of the
insurrection. Mr.. Harding made the opening ad-
dress, and the case will probably be given to the
jury tomorrow.

WHOLE NUMBER 1886.

The FRENCH EMPERoR AND Mr. MAsoNs OBsE-
>QuIEs.-Thc late lamentcd death of our Minister at
the Court of the Tuileries, Mr. Mason afforded the
Emperor of the French an opportunity of sgnifying
his personal and official respect not only for the
deceased Envoy, but for the nation which he repre-
sented, of which Napoleon was not slow to avail
himself and it ought to be thoroughly we'll under
stood by people that the highest possible honors
were paid to the memory Of the American Minister
by the express orders of the Emperor in person.
Napoleon was far distant from Paris, at Biarrz, in
the south of France, when the news of Mr.. Mason's
death reached him. He Immediately telegraphed to
the capital command that his own private carriage
should be sent to the funeral that all the officers
of his household, then in Paris, should be present,
and that battalion, with muted drums, should act
an escort at the church.
These orders were equivalent to the personal pres
ence of the sovereign which was, of course impos-
sible in the circumstances and their full value as
indications Of the good will felt by the French En-
peror towards the United States can hardly be pro-
perly estimated unless we remember that the tech
nica diplomatic rank of Mr.. Mason as Minister
Plenipotentiary, put him a somewhat lower foot
ing in regard to Court Etiquette than if he had been
an ambassador, ambassadors alone ranking in the
diplomatic hierarchy of Europe as the personal rep
resentative of the soveregns by whom they are ac-
credited In this instance, as in so many others,
Napoleon departed from the srict usage of the Eu-
ropean courts to acknowledge the dignity of free
people.-N Y. Times

SYMPATHY WITH THE TRAIToRs.-Evcry one who
reads the newspapers carefully must see that there
is a strong sympathy in all the non-slaveholding
States with John Brown and his confederates in in
surrecton and murder. This sympathy is expressed
in the pulpit on the stump, in the newspapers, by
letters written to Brown and in the talk of the pco
pie on the highways and in all places of business.
Generally the conduct of Brown is condemned, but
nearly as generally is it spoken of rather rash
than criminal This feeling it is true is almost en-
trely confined to the black Republicans and rabd
aboltionists; but these, it must be remembered,
constitute large proportion of the people of the
non-slaveholdng States.
This is gloomy picture, hut it is the true one,
and feel it to be duty to keep our readers in
formed of the state of public sentiment. Treason
able sentiments, uttered by Wendell Phillips and
others in Brooklyn, New York, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and elsewhere applauded by excited crowds;
and the speakers, with treason and rebellion, and
murder on their lips and in their hearts, permit
ted to pass not only unmolested, but are fattered
and cheered as champions of human liberty. Thirty
years ago Arthur Tappan was mcbbcd in New York
City for avowing anti-slavery sentiments and his
life was saved only after the most strenuous efforts
now the most noted the most feted and feasted in
that quarter, are those who sympahize with insur-
rectonists and murderers and who utter the bitter
est words against the South. Massachusetts, New
jersey and Wisconsin voted on Monday, and New
York on Tuesday last. The struggle in all these
States was between the Democratic and black Re-
publican partics-the former representing national,
and the latter sectional ideas. We shall soon know
the result We shall soon know whether the Har-
per's Ferry outrage has sobered the public mind in
these States in our favor, or nhamed it still more
against u.s. But in any event the people Of the
South must depend upon themselves They have
it is true hosts of just and attached friends in the
free Statesmen like Dickinson and Lane who
would shoulder their muskets and march to their de
fence-but there is no certainty that such men will
be able to stem and turn back the tide of aggression
now bearing down upon the South.
If New York, Massachusetts,, New Jersey, and
Wisconsin have gone for the black Republicans, it
may be taken for granted that they are Seward and
Greely States, and that majority Of their people
sympathze in greater or less degree with John
Brown and his confederates in murder and treason.

rS5e Gov. Wise IS commended in all portions oi

~" Gov. Wise Is commended in all portions of
the South, and by men of all parties for the vgor
and proprety of his action in relation to the recent
outbreak at IIarpcr's Ferry. Efforts are in pro-
gress having their origin in the Northern States to
induce him to pardon Brown and the other traitors,
or at least consign them to the penitentiary.-
Threatening letters have been written to him, Civ
ing him notice of what will he his fate if he de-
cnes to yield to the demands of the aboltionists in
this respect None of these things will move Hen
rv A. Wise. John Brown and his confederatcs in
treason will be hanged by the neck until they are
dead If the Governor should pardon them, the
act of clenency would be attributed to fear, and the
slavehohling States would get credit for it at the
hands of the abotionists; if they were consigned
for life to the penitentiary, they would be standing
themes for sympathy and defamation, and would
thus add to the excitement. Guilty they are of
treason and murder, let them de-and die they will
under the gaows. We entertain no fears that they
will be rescued Virginia is ready for any army Of
abooniSts that may cross her borders; and even
if rescue should be accomplished, and the insur
gents should escape with the prisoners to Pennsyl-
vania or Ohio, the President would follow them with
the whole power, if necessary, of the army of the
United States.
A friend writing to US on the subject, suggests
that the slavehodng States tender to Virginia their
proportion of the amount expended in suppressing
the outbreak and trying the prisoners and that the
States named. with Virginia, bestow pensions for
life on the families of the men killed by Brown and
others at Harpers Ferrv Our correspondent very
properly says that the dollars and cents constitute
no matter for thought except in showing the inter-
est which all the people of the slavehoding States
take in the prompt and faithful execution of the law
by Virginia. and in the fact that the attack on pro-
perty and life which has been made within her bor
ders was practical exhibition of the doctrines of
