BROWN CONTENT WITH MS FATE.
The prisoner said that he contemplated
his death with composure and calmness.
L would undoubtedly be pleasant 10 live
longer, but, as it was the will of God he
should close liis career, he was content.
It was doubtless best that be should be
legally murdered for the good Of tue
cause, and he was prepared to submit to
his fate without muunur. BIrs. Brown
becoming depressed at these remarks, he
bid her cheer up, telling her that his
spirit would soon be with her again, and
that they would be reunited in Heaven.
With regard to his execution, lie said

TUESDAY EVENING, November 30, 1859.
We have no change to notice in market rates,
which continue as in our quotations. Business
is very quiet, somewhat more so than usual at
this season of the year.
The receipts of produce are fair, and city re-
tail trade quite active. An improved state of
the roads will undoubtedly revive the jobbing
business, which just at present is in rather
languishing condition.
AS the season has arrived in which the sale
of Furs attracts considerable attention, we give
the current market rates of the different varie.
ties in our quotations. We derive our informa.
ton in regard to the price of Furs from respec-
table dealers, and consider it entirely reliable,

say that the Ledger is by far the most pop
ular family paper in the country, having a
circulation of over four hundred thousand
copies. 1t is always characterized by a
high moral tone, and, as will be seen by
reference to its advertisement, employs more
eminent contributors than any other paper
in the world.

them refused, when the Mayor. dropped him
down through the scuttle, as the most con-
venient mode of enforcing his exit.

was taken from the Jail about eleven o'clock
in furniture wagon. He conversed brave
ly with the soldiers around him. The exc
cution took place at quarter past eleven
o'clock. He died apparently very easy, and
his body was taken down after being sus.
pended thirty five minutes. His body will
be sent to Harper's Ferry at four O'clock
this P. NJ, and from thence will be con-
veyed North this evening.
PARTICULARS OF THE EXECUTION.
The reporter of the associated press, tele.
graphed yesterday to Gov. Wise for permis-
sion to attend the execution, the reply was
that the Governor declined to accede to the
request. No facilities will be extended to
the reporters. Yesterday was passed quiet
ly with the exception of great military
hustle on the reception of Mrs. Brown.
Mrs. B. was escorted over from Harper's
Ferry at three o'clock in the afternoon, and
the entire military force was brought out to
make a demonstration. She was received
with full military honors, but her compan-
ions were not allowed to accompany her
from Harper's Ferry. After remaining four
hours with her husband, Mrs. Brown was
escorted back to Harper's Ferry, at nine
o'clock last night, where she will await the
reception of her husbands body. No one
will be allowed to be near enough to the
place of execution, to hear any remark that
may be made by Brown.
HARPERs FERRY, Dec. 2.-Brown was
hung at quarter past eleven o'clock. Mill
tary assembled at nine o'clock, and have been
posted on the field leading to the execution,
and also at various points as laid down in
General orders. Everything was conducted
under the strictest military discipline, as if
the town was in state of siege. Mounted
scouts were stationed in the road to the left
of the scafold, and picket guards stationed
out towards Shenandoah mountains in the
rear. The military on the field formed two
hollow squares. Within the inner one was
the scaffold, and between the inner and cen.
ter line the citizens were admitted-no one
being allowed outside of the lines, except
the mouated guards. At eleven o'clock the
prisoner was brought out of the Jail, accom-.
panied by Sheriff Campbell and assistants,
and Captain Avis, the Jailor. A small
wagon, containing white pine coffin was
drawn up, on which they took seats; six COM
panies of infantry and rifles, one company
horse and general staff, including twenty
five officers, who headed the procession and
marched towards the place of execution, and
was accompanied by no minister, he desiring
no religious ceremonies either in jail or on
the scaffold. He looked calmly around on
the people, fully possessed mounted the
scafold with firm step. After his arms
were pinioned be bid farewell to Captain
Avis and Sheriff Campbell and at halfpast
eleven, the trap of the scaffold was pulled
away, and with few struggles, John Brown
yielded up his spirit. The body was placed
in the coffin, and is now on the way to Har-
per's Ferry, to be delivered to his wife, under
strong military escort.

correspondence OF the N Y. Tribute.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Mr. Douglas
has caused his Anti Lecompton friends to
be informed that he desires them to 90 into
the Democratic caucus, and if objection is
entertained to that, to oppose any combina.
tion with the Republicans. Mr.. Morris, of
Illinois, is the only member of that delega-
tion who is undecided by following the
caucus advice. Mr.. Davis, of Indiana, has
sigpifed distinctly that he will not support
any Republican for Speaker or other Office.
He may not enter the Democratic caucus,
and, in possible contingency, may vote for
the plurality rule. He is for Haskin for
Speaker, with whom he has corresponded,
but who, like the Anti-Lecompton men of
Pennsylvania aud New Jersey, will decline
to engage in any such operation.
jenkins, one of the Democrats from Vir-
ginia, now here, heard of the death of his
father to-day, and proposes going home to.
morrow. He is much pressed by political
friends to stay to assist in the organization,
as every vote is important.
Correspondence of the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The printing
and binding of the next census will be a
great job, and it will fall into the hands of
those now to be appointed as printers and
binders.
For Senate printer, Mr.. Harris, former
ly Minister to Brazil, and ex.member of
Congress, and ex-editor of the Union, is an
applicant for reelection. Mr.. Bowman, of
the Constitution, is candidate, and so is
Mr.. Heiss of the States.
1t is uncertain whether the Republicans
can organize the House after all. 1t is now
reported that some of the New York men,
bers will bolt-that is, will not 20 for a
straight out Republican. 1t looks as if the
Democrats and Southern Opposition will
unite so far as to make the Clerk and the
Printer, but not the Speaker.
Justice Peter V. Daniels, of the Supreme
Court, is still dangerously i'll. Considering
his age, it is not likely be will ever take his
seat on the bench Of the Supreme Court
again.
Senator Douglas is so far recovered that
he rides out. He expresses no anxiety for
the nomination at Charleston. His friends
say that he would accept a nomination
simply by majority ofthe Convention.
The Douglas Democrats are somewhat
numerous here, and are coming in from the
North and West. They assure their South
ern friends, that, without Douglas, they can
count on no Northern State.
