JOHN BROWNS INVASION.
Correspondence Of The n. Y. Tribune.
CHAEIKsrows, Va, Friday, Nov. II, 1859.

CharDestown. Many had vainly hoped that with the
departure ofthe Judge TO another county and the final
Opposition Of the prisoners prior to their execution
the Reign Of Terror would come 20 an end But, for
reasons which yet only vaguely limited the ex-
element has to-day rseh a number Of degrees. Some
say Il il recent numbers Of THE TRIBusE, some say
thc illustrated papers that have fed the flames Of Viz
sinia fury know that this morning the military
we're called out oftener than usua and once, be-
6eve. on the arrival Of the mail The TRIBUNE, how
ever does not reach this place by mail, but IA surrep-
ttiously introduced It's circulation being prohibited
With the illustrated papers, HarpeT's Weekly and
Pyopk Leslies il is different. Quite number came
IN THE morning and were eagerly seized upon by the
popalace. The perusal was earnest. Consultations
followed and at length decided that the arts,
Of Lese' 8 paper had maligned everybody, had tam
pered with the honor Of the State Virginia. and had
rendered himself liable 10 public rebukes As nearly
a. could learn, his offence that be had followed
nature rather faithfully in his representations Of
tbe criminals failing 10 stamp utter vilainy on all their
faces and in his poFraiture Of distinguished citizens,
had neglected 70 irnpar that dignity Of bearing and
physiognomical grace TO which all Yirginians sup
posed TO be entitled The effect Of Harpers Weekly
spon the public mind was much more favorable, the
prisoners all wearing in that paper, the most approved
sut-throat air, and having mostly the appearance of
relationship to lower than human grades Of animals as
xornas or ourang-ontangs The fact, also, that the
artist Of Harpers Weekly is true Vrgnian, and that
in addition 10 his sketches be contributes letters Of the
rarest rhetorical ferocy upon the subject Of the, nva-
sion eevaes the paper immensely in popular estima-
don But for Lesles artist there are words Of scorn
and reproaeb, and, SO jealOusly sensitive are
these people, that a positive and active feeling
Of nl-will seems 10 have arisen against him.
His name TOO, is mentioned in mysterious connection
with The TRIBUNE. This is unpleas mt; for The
TRIBUNE is here looked upon with antp thy, and
whatever IL said Of s distinguished by volubhty OF
invectiye and acrimony Of tone think have told
you how military gentleman the other day reduced
copy TO ribbons with his teeth His action was fair
illustration of the general feeling. You remember the
dsfayor with which Mr.. Brackets camera was
sarded think the objections to The TRIBuSE are OF
kindred nature OF late the people find certain parts
of Il sort Of daguerreoype of themselves and their
aetions the aspect of which is repugnant to them.
But hope the Leslie artist will not suffer- nowith-
standing the Committee which have just heard about,
which ia TO visit him. and subject him TO close cate
sehisus. This Committee, by the way, intends to in
elnde Mr. Hoyt Of Boston in it's tentions, he stands
in the most obnoxious position of any NOrtherner here
Boston with some nefarous plan for Browns extrica-
tion which must be rgdly guarded against. do not
think that these gentlemen in absolute danger, but
il is possible that they may meet with some incon-
vepience Mr.. Hoyt cannot nd himself of the terrible
faint of Aboli,ionism and the artist viii find The
TRlBUsE odum heavy to bear.
