Military Movements.

The Cadets of the Virginia Military Institute,
under command Of Maj. Gillian, numbering a.
bout eighty picked men of the corps, reached
Stanton on Saturday morning little too late
for the cars, and, consequently, remained with
us until the afternoon, when they proceeded on
their way to Chsrlestown in special train
Before leaving at the request of many of ouI
citizens, the corps was drilled as battalion for
short time, executing the various movements
TO the admiration of everybody.
The Cadets had scarcely left, when orders
came by telegraph for the West Augusta Guard,
of Staunton, and the Mountain Guard, of Spring
Hnl Capt. Bushong, to repair Immediately to
Charlestown. Our Company were on parade at
the time, engaged 10 target-shooting, and were,
of course, taken by surprise. All seemed de-
lighted, however, to exchange their sport for &C
tual service Capt. Bushong, who happened to
be in town, Immediately started to notify his
company, and by hslf-past 8 o'clock Sunday
morning had about fifty of his men at the depot
of the Central Railroad. When we remember
that these men were scattered in various parts
of the country, it is wonderful that notice could
be given to SO many in so short time. A
large number of people assembled to witness the
departure of our troops, and three hearty cheers
were given to them as the train moved off,
The alacrity with which the call of the Govern
or is responded to in all quarters, shows the
spirit that is abroad among the people, and af-
fords guarantee that we have nothing to fear
from rebellion at home or invasion abroad.

Execution of Brown.

The Lockport Chronicle, published in the
State of New York, near the Canada line, cop
les paragraph from this paper, on the subject
of Brown conviction at Charlestown, and ba-
SEES upon it some very kind and complimentary
remarks in reference to the general character oil
the Spectator. We appreciate and heartily re-
ciprocate the kind feeling expressed by our New
York cotemporary, and its honest and free
spoken denunciations of Browns conspiracy
have heretofore afforded Us unmingled grstih-
cation. But the pleasure with which we read
the friendly greeting from distant journal,
whose editor is personally an entire stranger to
US, was greatly marred by the fact that the
Chronicle proceeded to advocate the commute
ton of John Browns punishment! 1t says
"However much we may deplore the fact, it is
nevertheless true, that the execution OF Brown
is awaited with keen appetite by the Abolition
lists of the North, who expect by holding him up
as martyr, to increase the zeal and number OF
their followers" The Chronicle thinks, there
fore. that it would have a good effect for the
State of Virginia to dissppoint the expectations
of the friends of the misguided fanatics who are
now under sentence of death.
We confess that arguments of this KIND RON
such journals as the Lockport Chronicle and
few others which might be named, have caused
the only apprehension which We have felt IN
connection with the recent occurrence st Har-
per's Ferry. We expected that Garrison, Phil
lips, Beecher, Greeley and such like, would rave
and iibe aud ieer; but when the true friends OF
the Constitution and the Union at the North
tell us that the criminal laws of Virginia ought
not to be enforced, for the reason mentioned, 1t
Is q confession of weakness on their part which
we did not expect to hear. We beg leave to say
to our friend of the Lookport Chronicle that
Justice is not administered in this State with q
view to political effect. The law under which
Brown and his followers have been tried aud
convicted, was not manufactured to meet the
present emergency; it has been on our statute
book for years past, and whoever violates it,
outsider or citizen, inc1rs its penalty. The Hsr-
per's Ferry eonspirators have been legally tried,
convicted and sentenced,-the laws OF God and
man both call for their execution, and whatever
the effect may be, whether the Abolitionists are
encouraged or discouraged, John Brown will be
hung on Friday next. There is no difference Of
opinion amongst US on this subject and every
citizen of the State will assist at the execution

Proceedings IN Rockingham.

We learn from verbal reports that a goot
deal of excitement was exhibited by portion
of the people at Harrisonburg, on the last Rock
inghaln County Court day, in consequence OF the
rumors Of attempts to rescue Old Brown; ant
the harrisonburg papers of Friday bring us the
proceedings of public meeting held for the pur'
pose of taking action on the subject. The fol-
lowing are among the resolutions adopted:
RssoEced, That having knowledge of the
fact that George Rye, an abolitionist, resides in
the town of Woodstock, in our sister county o.
Shenandoah, that in our opinion he should be
expelled from Virginia; and we hereby request
our fellow citizens of Shenandoah to take such
steps as may be necessary to secure his imme-
diate expulsion.
Rssolued, That if any such persons exist in
the county of Rockingham, they are hereby no.
tilted to withdraw from this county.
Shenandoah, we presume, is considering the
request of her 'sster county," but has as yet, so
far as we know, done nothing in the premises.
George Rye became famous in 1856, as an adj
yocats of Fremont's election.

The GoYernorss Information.

The Richmond Enquirer publishes extracts
from letters received by Gov. Wise, from varl-
Gus places in the North and West, putting hin
on his guard against attempts to rescue the pris
oners at Charlestown. A letter dated Lewis
burg, Pennsylvania, Nov. 10, gives an account
of secret organization at that place, led BY q
Capt. Jas Smelly, the members of which propose
to drop into Oharlestown and the adjacent pls-
ces by ones and twos. The writer says ne was
present at one of the meetings and witnessed the
proceedings. A letter from Clarke county, Ohio,
says: "If reports be true, you may prepare for
a struggle" A letter from New York, Nov. ID,
tells of an organization in that city, extending to
the city OF Boston and the interior of New York
State, switch has for its object the rescue OF
John Brown, the insurrectionist, on the day Of
execution
1t is rumored that Gov. Wise has other infor-
nation on the subject, which from motives OF
policy he has not divulged.

Valley Railroad.

On the 18th of October, the citizens of Roam
oke county held meeting in Salem, to consider
the subject of Railroad down the Valley from
Salem to Harrisonburg, They resolved that the
time had come when preliminary steps, at least,
ought to be taken by the people for the accom-.
phshment of the scheme, and requested their
representatives in the Legislature to use their
best endeavors to procure the passage OF an act
of Incorporation. The counties of Botetourt,
Rockbridge, Augusta and Rockingham were in
vited to co operate, and the following commit.
tee, entrusted with the business of bringing q.
bout concerted action among all those interest
ed, was appointed :-Jno. B. l. Logan, Hon. d.

MIR. Stuart,s Address.

We are gratifed to observe that the address
delivered by Mr.. Stuart, of this place, at the
Richmond Fair, is attracting attention in various
parts of the country aud sincerely hope that its
wise and patriotic oouusels will have the desired
effect in allaying sectional excitement and con-
fict. The Hllsborough (Ohio) Gazette publish
es large portion of the address, and warmly
commends it to the attention of its readers
ave trust" says the Gazette, shat not one Of
them will fail to give it an attentive and thought.
full peruss, for it is not often that an opportunity
is offered of reading an address containing SO
many valuable facts, and thoughts expressed in
so admirable manner, and in spirit so truly
christian and patriotic"

A Word of Caution.

At times of popular excitement, any one who
advises moderation is likely to be branded as an
sold fogy," or something worse. We have no
dread of the charge, however, and shall not
shrink from the discharge of our duty in the
present state of affairs. There is danger, il
seems to US, that some of the people of Virginia
will run into extremes, and rasbly do what may
be regretted hereafter. We observe that in va
rious parts of the State there is disposition
manifested to deal in summary manner with
every man who happens to come along from the
North, instead of taking legal steps with refer
ence to those against whom there are grounds o.
suspicion. We would earnestly demonstrate a.
eainst every movement of the kind. The State
of Virginia is strong in her laws and the loyalty
of her citizens let US therefore act calmly,as be-
comes people who have just cause and fee
confident of their ability to take care of them
selves. We publish in this paper an account o
great excitement which arose in New Yorl
city many years ago, and the lamentable con
quences to which it led contain a warning fol
all people who are in similar circumstances.

we'll calculated to excite the serious alarm of al

violence at Harper's Ferry, resulting in the wan
ton spilling of Virginia blood upon Virginia soil
it is the imperative duty of the people to arm
and prepare for the public defence, and we hold

The great theme of conversation before he was

nzed his friends, grasped them frantically by
the hand, and told them they saw him for the
last time; that he was poor wretch, not fit to

MINISTER WARD AND THE CHINESE EApRRoR
1t is probable that the Chinese Emperor did
see the American Minister during his visit to
Pekin. Lieut.. Habersham, who was in Mr.,
Wards's suite, in q letter to the Philadelphia
Ledger says,
Finding it impossible to agree as to the oere-
mony OF presentation, or, in other words, find
ing that Mr.. Ward adhered strictly to his O.
riginal offer, Kwe lang finally ended the inter-
view by conseDting to the exchange of treaties
without our having first seen the Emperor. On
the 4th, he said, Mr.. Ward should be informed
of the day and in the meantime he wished him
all manner of happiness and success. As they
were leaving, Seth also became amiable, and
took Mr.. Martin, the interpreter, aside, to tell
him that they must not feel offended at the hau-
teur of their manner at their first meeting az
there werc higher persons than themselves pres.
emit, for whose express benefit it had been in
dulged in. This confession but served to
strengthen our previous opinion as to the fact
of the Emperor having been witness to the in
teryiew. 1t would not have done to let ham see
his Ministers treating foreigners with consider
ate politeness. 3 1855.

MORE FANATIoIsM-Und this caption, the
New York Observer comments upon an adver-
tsement which lately appeared in the Richmond
Wing, proposing to raise $40 900 as reward for
the capture of Giddings, or 5000 for his head !!
The Observer says such proposal sis well fitted
to promote the evaporation of feeling now 30
iercely excited, and to create deeper hostility
at the North against the South. We deplore
every fresh faggot thrown on this fire. For
Christ's sake, brethren, stay your hands. We
are brethren yet. The few conspirators left a.
live and at large are flying for safety to Canada
and Europe where we hope they will stay and
die. Let US not proloug this war, but study the
things that make for peace, and that will edify
