caught sufficient number of men to
ne company, which was accordingly
q. y friend who has just arrived from
simont, saw the fifty men going through
irilI. He says he has seen all sorts of
a in his time, but nothing to compare
in this company. The snake-hunters
rru!arly, the half-horsc, half-alligator
.pnn,aineers, will be remembered by him
long as memory holds seat in his dis
accd globe. 1t is almost as much as q
ans life is worth to see them going
rough the military doings. They don't
,lerstand what its all for or what's to be
.ined by it, They are quartered at the
,ooiside House. The town constable,
raggish fellow, raised an immense light
mountain top, Tuesday night, and
ed several shots. Immediately after
ards the mountain snake-hunters were
ouscd by the sentinels. Some of them
islled out of the house dressed in an old
asket, a chew of dog-leg tobacco and a
int; others came out with their red wa
uses at half mast, while some refused to
.,vc peg. The roll was called and those
o, knew their names and did not answer
,hem were afterwards put in the guard
use as was the constable, for starting
e alarm. Those passengers who are
oased from their slumbcrs and iostlej
out by these monstrosities will be amply

The Execution Of John Brown.

The Enquirer of Monday contains Proclamation
by Gov Wise in relation to the arrangements for
the execution of old Brown on Friday next After
stating that he has called out certain troops, and
placed them under the command of certain officers,
he says:
snow, therefore, all persons are notified that the
trains of the Winchester and Potomac Railroad
Company are placed under orders of acting Quarter
Master and Commissary General Davis, for impress
ment on the first second, and third of December
next. He will, under orders of Major General
Taeterro, guard those trains for the use and occu
patton of Virginia troops alone and permit no other
transportation but for them.
And the citizens of this Commonwealth are
warned to remain at home and on guard or patrol
duty on the second of December, and to abstain
from going to Charlestown. Orders are issued to
prevent women and children, and strangers are
hereby cautioned that there will be danger to them
in approaching that place, or it. on that day. If
deemed necessary, martial law will be proclaimed
and enforced" ss.-.. .-.-

Coz. Wssss Reasons for Congrsgating Troops at
Harpers Fsrsy-Judge Douglas Adoised to go
South- Thanksgiving Sermons, Etc. -i.
>, WAsHmeros. M. 25.-According to the re-
ported conversationS with Governor Wise, recently
in this city, he has no doubt of the existence of
secret societies in various portions Of Ohio and else
where, the members of which are bound by horrid
oaths not only to rescue Brown bnt to take revenge
on those who were instrumental in the convection
of him and his associates, for their offences at Har
pers Ferry, 49, -.
The letters which the Governor has received up
on this subject are from men in whose word he
places the fullest confidence, but whose names will
not be revealed by him. ,s.,,. ...
It was doubtless the belief of the existence of
such societies numbering, as was reported to him,
thousands of members-for the purposes related,
that led the Governor recently to call out an addi-
tional number of troops.
1t is understood that Judge Douglas physicians
unite in urging him to proceed to the coast of Flor
ida with view to the restoration of his health and
that Mrs. Douglas accompany him for similar pur-
pose-as soon as their strength will enable them to
travel l. is not yet known, however, whether he
will act on the suggestion. ... d.
Several Of the ministers of the Gospel, yesterday,
in their Thanksgiving sermons, earnestly condemned
the expressions of sympathy for Brown and his
due to justice and the enormity of their crime.
The number of members of Congress in this city
is daily increasing The organization Of the House
of Representatives is with them the prominent topic
of conversation and concern.

ARREST OF A NORTHERNER.-On Friday last, a
man by the name of Rood who has been in the
town a week or two getting subscribers for the
Eclectic Magazine, being made the object of suspi
cion on the part of some that his designs not
entirely proper, was taken before Justice Lobban
for examination.
Witnesses testified as to his conduct since he has
been here, and papers found his person were ex-
amined, all of which in the opinion of the justice
created ground Of suspicion sufficient to warrant
him in committing the party to jail In order that
he may have speedy examination into the charge
of completely in nsurrectionary schemes for which
he is confined, special court has been called for
Saturday next.
Persons coming into our midst from the Northern
States should be very cautious how they act and how
they talk as their conduct is liable to be watched
with suspicion Even innocent parties are liable to
be unustly suspected but they only blame their
Northern brethren for any annoyance they may be
subjected o.-Charlottesuille .Jetsrsonian.
The person mentioned above spent some time last
summer in Wilmington, soliciting subscriptions to
the Eclectic Magazine" and obtained, we believe
quite number. We heard Of no complaint of his
behavior in Wilmington. These stragglers will all
bear Watching however, Wilmington Herald.
Mr. Rood was also here and elsewhere in the State
obtaining subscribers for the Eclectic We heard
nothing from him, and saw nothing in his behavior
which deserved censure We trust he will be able
to acquit himself of the grave charge preferred
against him. sd.

BLACK REPUBLIcANs.-Many persons in Massa-
chusets, otherwise intelligent, have come to enter
tain the most absurd notions upon the relations of
the State to the United States. The greatest evil
and the worst tyranny, in their apprehension, is the
jurisdiction of the United States in Massachusetts,
and thus the recent legislation of Massachusetts
has all tended to place her in direct opposition to
the General Government as if it were foreign
power with which we were at war. At the same
time they claim all the benefits for Massachusetts other
being member of the great Union Of States.-Com-

New ORLEANS, Nov. 25, 1s59-The Legislature
of Texas has authorized the Governor to call out all
the troops necessary for the protection of the from
tier. The Governor appointed Capt Ford coinman-
der Of the troops and he started for the Rio Grande
the 18th, with orders to arrest Cortinas and his
band
The Brownsville reports created intense excite
ment throughout Texas. The small town of Con-
zales raised two hundred men in two days, to pro-
coed to the scene of disturbance
. Cortinas had returned Deputy Sheriff Campbell
to Brownsville unframed against the wishes of his
own men.
General Houston recommends the Legislature to
authorize the raising of regiment of mounted men
to protect the frontier from the Indians
Brownsville, on the 10Th, was still closely besieg
ed, and an expedition was preparing against Cor

The SILENCE OF THE NoRrH.-Not the first public
meeting has been held in the non-saveholding
States, to disapprove the effort made at Harper's
Ferry to excite the slaves against their masters
The only denunciations of the outrage have been
uttered in Democratic meetings, called to promote
party interests. The reason given for this silence
is that every one North, with the exception of the
abotionists, denounces the Harper's Ferry outrage
and that, therefore, there is necessity for meetings
to give utterance to public feeling But is this so
Clearly not One-haf the presses and one-half the
pulpits Of the North either openly sympathize with
old Brown, or systematically and constantly de-
nounce the institution of slavery. Lecturers de-
clare that the gallows on which Brown is destined
to die, will Become thenceforth sacred, like the
Cross; and even this is approved and applauded by
mutitudes. Many of the journals that admit old
Browns guilt, and the justice of his punishment,
are nevertheless engaged in urging Gov. Wise to
pardon him. lest his execution should add to the ex-
citement against the South. No, the truth is there
is not one locality in hundred in the free States
where meeting of the people without respect to
party could be called which scould denounce old
Broom as a criminal and justify his punishment.
The conservative men would be voted down by the
abolitonists. That is the reason why meeting Of
the people has been called to tender an assurance to
Virginia that the raid of old Brown within her bor
ders is not approved by the non-slavehodng States.
We feel sure it is not approved by the great body Of
the people there; but then they appear to be want
ing in the power or in the moral courage to say So
Outside the Democratic party, and few conserva
tives of the Choate, Fillmore, and Everett stamp,
the North is abolitionized; or, if this is not So
there is no voice breaking the silence to assure us
that abolitionism is not the most potent influence in
that quarter.

John Randolph said, at one period of his career,
that the alarm bell of Richmond never struck, that
the mother did not hug her infant closer to her bos
ON. Let Governor Wise spare single one of these
culprits, and we may have recurrence of the same
state of feeling. By clemency in this case, we
Guild but invoke, invite and help our enemies in
their projected plots of ruin and desolation.
We have full faith and confidence in the brave
and noble Governor of Virginia, and we satisfied
that he needs no admoniton to be firm and to be
faithful, in this hour of great and glorious respon-
sbiIity.
Let not Northern men tatter themselves that
Virginia will not be sustained by the South, in the
adoption of all measures that the crisis demands.-
The Southern heart is with her, and though it may
not vent its feelings in clamorous exhibitions, it is
enough to say the southern heart, is with Virginia
and even should she be compelled to declare martial
law in all her counties bordering on the States of
Pennsylvania and Ohio and finally to assert the in
herent right of secession the Southern States will
follow her lead.-Gotds. Tribune.
