The Court Of Appeals having rendered its
decision in the case of John Brown. convict
ed Of conspiracy, murder, and treason at
Harper's Ferry, sustaining the action Of the
Circuit Court of Jefferson County, the execu-
ton Of the criminal will take place on the ID
of next montll-and the execution of the
other persons convicted of the same henons
crimes, will follow in few days thereafter.
A proper and safe military guard will be
kept up, in and around Charlestown, until
the sentence of the law shall have been
carried into effect.
We trust there will be no farther excite
msnt, and no farther PRONUNCIATION OF incor-
rect rumors and reports. For the last few
days there has been too much of this thing.
Great allowance is To be made. under the CIR
cumstances, for the state of feeling which
has existed. But it should now be rec"llec-
ted that the authorities have taken proper
precautions with regard to the whole matter
and that there are men and means enough
ON the spot, to prevent rescue, should such
folly be attempted,) aud to preserve the
public peace. Due diligence and vigilance,
we doubt not, will be exercised BY all
We have entire confidence that the resu.
lar and due administration Of the laws will
be enforced, and that the enemies of our IN
situations, and the would-be disturbers Of our
peace, will be foiled in all further attempts
at mischief should they make any. The
Commonwealth is strong in the numbers, the
promptness. the gallantry of its citizens, and
its citizen soldiery.
