Last night was chiefly burdened with in'
formation pertaining to tho execution OF
John Brown. II will be remembered on
Yesterday morning we read the rumor that
three Cincinnati Merchants were arrested |
at Harper's Ferry on Information telegraph
cd from a point on the Baltimore and Ohio
r. r. to the effect that they bad been using
ipcendiary Language in speaking Of the ap'
proaching execution Of Brown. The follow
ing Card, telegraphed from Baltimore, will
give our readers information Of the circum' |
stances Of the case;
aBAtrmonE, Dec. ITO THR PUBIIc--
We. the undersigned having been arrested
nv the military authorities Of the state Of
Virginia on the morning Of Wednesday
last while proceeding over the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad ss passengers for the
east, were disposed TO overlook the deteni
tion and annoyance which we were subject
ed. in the belief that the officers were i'm
posed upon. and acted entirely from errone-
Gus information. Observing, however that
we are accused Of having expressed our-
selves antagonistically 10 the State, regard-
inp its prisoners at Charleston, and that
this is offered as reason for our arrest we
deem IL due % ourselves thus publicly TO de-
Glare that the statement is entirely without
foundation that we ore not public agitators
Of any sort, but order loving, business men,
quietly pursuing our own Affairs. We would
at this time in view Of the numerous excit~
ing reports that are being published, take
occasion to declare that we were treated
With very proper consideration and kindness
by the military and citizens OF Martlnsburg,
where the arrest took place, and that as
soon as our case was made known 70 the
Railroad Company, the President and other
officers promptly telegraphed the command
ing General, and procured our release and,
moreover, as further evidence of our exon
Grafton of the Baltimore and Ohio Compa-
ny from all blame for this unusual proceeds
ing, and our entire confidence that no fur
ther annoyance to passengers will occur, we
propose to return to our homes in the West
by that route to morrow.
