Mrs. JOHN BROWNS VISIT TO HER HCSBAND.-A
dispatch of the LIST inst from Charlestown says:
The day has passed quietly, but has been one of
great military hustle. Mrs. Brown was escorted
over from the Ferry to visit her husband at 3
o'clock, and the entire military force brought
out to make demonstration. She was received
with full military honors but her companions were
not allowed to accompany her from the Ferry.
After remaining four hours with her husband she
was escorted back to the Ferry at o'clock this
evening, to await the reception of her husbands
body No one will be allowed to be within ear
shot of the condemned at the time of the execution
Another dispatch says:
BY permission of the State authorities the wife
of John Brown arrived here in carriage from
Harper's Ferry, escorted by mounted troops.
Every attention was accorded her consistent with
the respect of Yirgnians for the character of wo-
man, however unfortunate. The troops formed in
hollow square when she alighted. The interview
of the husband and wife took place in presence of
the Sheriff. An embrace, kiss, but no tear was
she'd She returned under escort to Harper's
Ferry this evening at O'Clock, where she will
await the reception of the body Of her husband to-
morrow.
Mrs Brown left Baltimore, as you are aware, last
evening" by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, after
coming direct from Philadelphia, in company with
two gentlemen and lady.

FERSANDINA CoTToN MARKEr.-The demand fol
long stapled cotton, during the past week, has
been much greater than the supply offering, and
every bale put upon the market found ready sale
at prices fully as high as the Charleston and Sa.
already in the field as a competitor for the long
staplcd cotton of East Florida and there are par.
ties here ready to purchase several hundred bales
for that market. This speaks well for our young
soon to see large orders here, not only for New
York, but direct shipments to England, France and
the continents. We expect four or five large ves-
sells here from Europe within the next thirty to
and Georgia Railroad Why should not our plant
ers and merchants load at least one of these back
to Liverpool with Florida long cotton? We say to
our planters the money can be had for their cotton
here. Try the Fernandina market. [East Floridian

The New York Spirit of the Times has the fol-
lowing anecdote which it says may be relied upon
as authentic, and which illustrates, in a remarla
Bile manner, Washington Iying's love Of sociabi1-
ty and his modesty with regard to his literary
reputation:
friend Of ours, who occupies. a IorsIy mansion
| IN Iwehty-ninth street, near Fifth avenue was
Wh1lom contractor for building that section of
the Croton Aqnednet which passed through Tarry-
soWn soon after he had erected q rude building
for the reception of the tools and of the workman
and to afford himself a temporary shelter while
engaged in his responsible duties, an Old gentle
man, plainly dressed and of exceeding unpre-
tending manners, presented himself one day
and commenced conversation with our friend.
great many questions were asked naturally sug-
gested by the new enterprise Of supplying New
aofa CITY with water, and after visit Of an hour
| or SO, the old gentleman quietly departed. A few
| days afterward, accompanied by two ladies' he
again visited the headquarters of our friend and
entered into more detailed conversation, SEEM
| llngy intent upon finding out all that was to be
learned about the proposed aqueduct. These Wis
its finally became regular affair, and were con
tinued twice a week, for a period Of twelve
months. The conversations were always confined
to local subjects, and not a remark escaped from
the lips of the visitor which was calculated to IN
spire curiosity, or suggest that he was other than
some some pam good-natured person, with plenty Of
| hour or two in commonplace chit-chat.
In course Of time our friend finished his abors at
Tarrytown, but occasionally met his old friend on
the little steamers that serve to connect our su-
burbs with the heart Of the city. One day, while
travelling along the Hudson, and busily engaged in
conversation with the old gentleman, the steamer
suddenly commenced pealmg its bell, and made
such racket that our friend left his place, and
hunting up the captain, asked him what all that
| noise was about p M
why" replied that functionary, eve are oppo-
site Sunnyside, and having Washington Irving on
| board, by this alarm his servant will be able to
meet him at his landing with carriage
Our friend, in great enthusiasm, exclaimed,
Washington Irving he on board why, point him
out to me; there is no man living whom would
more like to see.'' Nd
At this demonstration the captain looked quite
surprised, and remarked, '.Why, sir, you Just left
Washington lrying's company. and from the NUM-
Der OF times have seen you in familiar converse
ton with him on this boat, supposed you were
one of his most intimate friends.r
The establishment Of our friend may be family
imagined when he discovered that for more than q
half year, twice week he had long conversation
| with Washington Irving, person with whom,
more than any man living, he desired personal
| introduction.

A HINT TO FIsHERMEN.-Th Dutch always kill
fish the moment they are taken out Of the water,
and they remain plump and of better flavor than
those which are allowed to expire in long agony,
which has precisely the same efece upon the flesh
that disease has. The hint worthy the attention
of our fishermen. The French do not bleed poul-
try to death, but stick sharp awl into the spinal
marrow at the base of the head, and the retention
of the blood adds to the fllness and flavor of the
fowl. Ne

collars, and other articles of wearing apparel !;
four fine linen handkerchiefs, two of which she
used as garters and with the other two she secured
her skirts, which were rather heavy from the weight
of the glassware; also, two fine sheets wrapped
around her person, and SIS sewed in the lining of
her Dress all of which had been stolen from various
persons in the house. 1t took long while to un-
pack her.

SOUTHERN RoAD.--We regret to learn, as we do,
that the Southern Railroad has been forced to sus
pend track-laying for want of hands. We hope
this will be only temporarily. We see they have
bought all their iron, the track is about graded
completely to Chunkeyville or near there, the
eross-ties are furnished, and all that keeps as a
drawback is lack of hands.
