aged seventy years.
The deceased was native of Wales, emil

eternal gain.

Lord from henceforth yea, saith the Spirit,
that they may rest from their labors, and their
works do follow them"

tolls bearing the stamp of the Massachusetts Manu-

II is supposed they were brought through Pennsyi-
yana. The insurgents did not attempt TO rob the
Paymaster's department at the armory. There was
much money there, but it was undisturbed.
Brown. when he supposed he was dying, said his
object was to free he slaves from bondage, and that
no other persons than those about him, were con-
neeted with the movement, and that he did not ex-
pect aid from the North. The foregoing was an
swered TO questions propounded to him. He insis-
ted that what he had done was right, and that he
ought to be treated as prisoner of war.

ARRE1ST OF PosTN AsTER-O OBTAINING GOODs UNDER
FALSE PrErENcEs.-The Memphis Bdlstin learns that
within the past two or three months several prom-
nent commission merchants of Memphis have re-
eeived orders for goods from Mr.. VIZ. Benson,
postmaster at Aniity Flu, Hardeman county, the
drawer Of the order Representing himself in each
instance planter residing in the vicinity Of Boil
ivar, and stating that al liabilities thus incurred
would be amply secured by his Forthcoming cotton
crop, which on maturity would be shipped to the
care Of the merchant TO whom the order was adj
dressed These orders were generally rega rded
with suspicion by the recipients. and but two of
them were flled-Messrs. GoGGN TRADER & HoLT
and d. H. TOWNSEND furnishing BENsOS with sup
plies TO the value of about $3.50. The season having
arrived in which the promised consignments should
come to hand, but didn't, their failure to arrive
aroused the suspicious of the above-named gentle
men that all was not right and they accordingly in
stituted investigation into the matter, which re-
vsaled the fact that Mr. BENSON was not in possess
sion Of a single bale of the staple, and that he had
been the perpetrator Of deliberate swinde in pro-
curing goods from them under false and fraudulent
pretenees He has been arrested and committed to
jail at Memphis.
