BALTIMORE, Dec. 1.-The -4mer9cGa's cor
respondent, at Charlestown, says there is no
falling off in the number Of wild stories of
invaders. Although martial law has not
yet been proclaimed, there is a rigid militia
ry surveillance kept up, that subjects every
one, even citizens, to great inconvenience.
Even well known inhabitants cannot pass
through the suburbs without arrest and ex-
animation. On the arrival of the cars, two
persons, who were unable to give a satisfac-
tory account Of themselves, were sent by an
armed escort across the Maryland line
Four suspicious characters have been ar
rested since Wednesday, one of whom was
supposed to be Copies brother; all have
been detained for the present.
The Ohio merchants who were arrested
at Harper's Ferry, were discharged after q
short detention, there being no reasonable
grounds for suspicion.
Brown, it is said, admits his participation
in the Kansas massacre, but offers variou:
excuses in paliation. The feeling produced
here against him By Mrs. Doyle's letter is
very great.
| The work Of erecting the gallows wa:
/ commenced yesterday. Il is understood
! that members of the.,press will not be ad-
! rnitted inside of the lines, so that no report
could be made of his speech, if Brown
| should make one.
To-day several persons, who are editor:
of Abolition newspapers published in tht
North, were elected from the cars for Har
pers Ferry. They had purchased tickets
and were very anxious TO proceed, but were
refused on account Of an arrangement en-
tered into between Governor Wise and tht
| President Of the road. They left in tbs
Washington train, declaring they were
bound TO be in Charlestowu 20 see the exc
| cution, and would reach there by the Orange
! and Alexandria Railroad, whersupon tbt
| President Of that road was informed BY
telegraph Of the fact.

CHARLEsTowE, Dec. 2.-Shortly after the
execution of Brown, and whilst the body
was being taken to the depot, great excite
nent was occasioned in the town by the ar
rival of horseman, announcing that Wheat
land, the late residence of Geo. w. Turner,
shot at Harper's Ferry, was on fire, and that
it was extending to the farm buildings
Vim. T. Turner, who was in town, had left
rome at @ o'clock. He said that several of
the horses had died very suddenly, and also
some sheep. 1t was supposed they had been
poisoned, aud it was intended to have their
stonachs analysed. The stock OF MIR. Casel-
man and Dir. Meyers, in the same neigh
borhood, had also died very mysteriously
The excitement was very great, and Col.
Davis had the Fauquier cavalry in readiness
to go out and enquire into the truth about
Ghe fire.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The Governor Of
South Carolina, in his message, while show

protect itself against any enemy, and COM
mand tine respect and admiration of the

can President, he says, will settle the ques-
ton Of their safety In the Union.

CHARLEsrowE, Dec. 2-The Reporter OF
the Associated Press telegraphed yesterday
to Gov. Wise for permission to attend the
execution. The reply was, that the Cover
nor declined to accede to the request, and
no facilities will be extended to newspaper
reporters.
Yesterday was passed quietly, with the
exception of great military hustle on the
reception Of Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Brown was
escorted over from Harpers Ferry at three
clock in the afternoon, and the entire mil
itary force was brought out to make de-
monstration. She was received with full
military honor, but her companions were
not allowed to accompany her from Harper
Ferry.
After remaining four hours with her hus-
band, Mrs. Brown was escorted back to
Harper's Ferry at o'clock, last night,
where she will await the reception of heI
husbands body.
No one will be allowed TO be near enough
to the place of execution to hear any re-
marks that may be made by Brown.

HARPER's FERRY, Dec. Brown was
hung at quarter past eleven. The military
assembled at nine o'clock, and were posted
on the field leading to the execution, and
also at various points, as laid down in gen
eral orders. Everything was conducted
under the strictest discipline, as if the town
was in state Of siege. Mounted scouts
were stationed in the woods TO the left Of
the scatfold, and picket guards stationed out
towards Shenandoah Mountains in the rear.
The military on file formed two hollow
squares. Within the inner one WAS the
scafold, and between the inner line and
outer line the citizens were admitted--nO
one being allowed outside of the lines ex-
cept the mounted guards. At IL O'Clock
the prisoner was brought out of the jail
accompanied by Sheriff Campbell and as
sistants, aud Capt Avis, the jailor, when a
small wagon containing white pine coffin
was driven up, upon which he took his
seat. Six companies of infantry aud rifles,
and one company of horse, and general Al d
staff numbering twenty-five officers, headed
the procession, and moved towards the
place of execution. Brown was accompa-
MED by no minister, desiring no religious
ceremonies either in the Jail or on the scat
fold. He looked calmly around on the peO-
pie, fully possessed; mounted the scatio!d
with firm step; his arms pinoned by the
sheriff; bid farewell to Captain Avis and
Sheriff Campbell, and at half past eleven
the trap of the scaffold was pulled away,
and with a few slight struggles John Brown
yielded up his spirit. His body was placed
in a coffin, and is now on its way to Har-
per's Ferry, to be delivered to his wife, uu-
der strict military escort
