An unIUcky Advertisements.

The fright into which Virginia is daily
and nightly thrown by the movements Of
cows, the burning of straw stacks, and the
fables of irresponsible transfers, is fatal
advertisement to the disciples of John Brown,
Of the weakness of slavery. Those who fan
cv that the execution of the Harper's Ferry
Insurgents will put a qlietus on the spirit OF
Instruction, are fatally in error. The par
don OF Brown and his misguided followers in
spirit of dignilied Self-reliance and strength,
would be worth more to Virginia in the way
Of pubic defanraS than 4 hunlred thousand
Of Wise's miltia,-if, indeed, the latter are
worth anything at AL. BIT their ascent up
"a the SC ,ifDI, coupled with the wild dem
ons'rations of fear which have followed each
other through period oftwo weeks, will be
the da wing Of dark day for Virginia. Ey-
cry Southern State is fall ofthe fuel ofinslr
rection, and every Northern State contains
one or m re in zen liaries who will carry the
fire brand a. f;r As they are assured Of sue
cess and mpunity. r 1t is not in the police
power Of the Uaitcd States, or of the several
commonwealth in the N)rth. to arrest these
persons; (even if they could b. detect ID, aad
and put them under bonds to keep the peace
They watch the progress of events with or
gans of keen sagacity and sleepless vigilance
In their hearts the words OF john Brown are
rs texts from Holy Writ, and to their under
STANDINGS the fintic terror Of Virginia is a
great staring placard ofwcakness and servil-
ity. 1t will occur to the n at once that
small band of determined men making 70 :
ray on section of country full of slaves and
not easy of access to Federal troops, can
sweep whole counties before them and reach
a place of safety before the arm of the general
government can be brought to bear upon
them. And for this unfortunate disclosure
Virginia has herselfsoley to thank. All the
abolitionsts in Christendom could not have
supplied the fatal knowledge which Governor
Wise, Colonel Davis, and the people of Vir-
ginia generally have promulgated to the
world during the past ten days. -. ..
We do not say that new instruction is
likely to be heard of SON, but we consider
the prospect most alarming. The elements
are all at hand. The institution of slavery
planted under the very egis of Democratic
theories, is itselfa standing invitation to the
believers in John Browns gospel And the
only barrier subsisting between them and
the shareholders of the South-the strength
and courage of Soathern chivalry--is swept
clear away by the crazy demonstrations
around Charlestown and Harper's Ferry
For none Of these frowning facts are the peo-
pie of the North responsible, nor will the re-
sponsipility be theirs if the hanging of John
Brown shall raise up fifty more terrible than
he.-Press Dc Trib. ..,....... .....,

Contains, the Leader Of the
Brownsville Assault.

"Cortains is about 40 years of age, and
was born at ranch on the Texas side Of the
Rio Grande, known as Edinburgh, some
nineteen miles above Brownsville. During
the Texas war with Mexico the family of
Cortinas was, according to his story, robbed
and numerically treated by the Americans.
Since that period he has led rather preda-
tory life, sometimes at peace, but in the main
robbing, stealing horses, and in various
ways evincing his hatred of the whites. A
few years since one of his friends or compan-
ions was executed at Brownsville, and Cor
tinas himself was imprisoned at that place
eighteen months ago, and on his escape or
release he vowed signal vengeance against the
Sheriff and other citizens of the town, by
whom he considered himself previously wron-
ged. 1t is a fulfliment of his oath of revenge
that Courtans is now with other diSaffected
Texans of Mexican birth, halfbreeds, Indi-
ans and ruffians of various gardes, endevor-
ing to lay waste Brownsville and its vicinity
This affair does not origionate in any ill-feel-
ing ON the part of Mexcans on the other side
of the Rio Grande; and whether Cortinas or
any of his band have in ellity experienced
unjust treatment from their fellow citizens in
Texas, we, Of course, do not pretend to de-
eide. 1t is probable these outlaws will con-
tinue the war upon Brownsville until a strong
force arrives, wheu they will doubtless flee
into Mexico" '.. '. Il"

that the former did not cheat him. so he in
spected the weighing Of the coal himself, and
felt perfectly satisfied that he got his full al

the coal dealer to share However, while
the coal was being weighed the driver of
the team could not help laughing, aware at
the time that the purchaser was particular
about the full weight of the coal. The pur-
chaser noticing the laughter of the driver,

Of every Republican, the very timely sug-
gestions of the n Y. Tribune contained in
an extract from that paper published ON the
outside of this issue.
1t is matter of the utmost importance to
the success Of the Republican party in the
Presidential contest Of next year, that the
work of organization be commenced now,
and persevered in from this time onward to
the day of the election.
Fortunately we have an efficient and able
central committee, whose duty-as well as
whose pleasure-it will be to move in this
matter, but it is important that the party
back them up and cooperate with them
We simply call the attention of the commit
tee to the subject, not doubling but that they
will give it their early and judicious consid-
Grafton in the way that may seem to them
most advisable
