The following letter, purporting to
have been written by prominet Wis
consin Democrat, is among the docu-
ments laid before the Harper's Ferry In
vestigating Committee of the Senate
1t is authoritatively pronounced for
gerry, and the alleged author offers re-
ward for the detection of the perpetrator
of this rascality. The document, and
the careful manner in which it has been
kept from the public hitherto, illustrate
not only the means by which Wise was
so badly frightened, but also the gentle
treatment with which Democrats, ap-
parently implicated, have been treated:
JANEsv,LLE Cry, Nov. e5, 1859.
DEAR CAPTAIN: [ am personally un-
known to you, but write to tell you to
keep up good courage, don't despair of
deliverance.
Five hundred good men and true are
now leaving for Charlestown from this
State, bound to rescue you from the hands
of the hound-like Wise; they leave in
small squads to avoid any suspicion, but
will be on hand in time, with the Ohio
thousand We will be enough for them,
I think. Keep up yonr spirits and rely
on your friends.
Yours in the good cause,

with the mails of the Sth inst, not so
late as the dates by the Europa, but yet
embracing many items of interest not yet

fed in a previous battle on the 31st of
January. The Moors commenced by "a
fierce attack on the Spanish advanced
posts, being repulsed, and again and
again returning with increased fury to
the attack, and finally closing with the
Spanish battallions and fighting hand to
hand, and obstinately disputing every
foot of ground until finally defeated.

For the Pom eroy Weekly Telegraph

Dear Telegraph:-1, with many other
Republicans, have been rejoicing over the
visit of the Legislatures of Kentucky and
Tennessee to the Legislature of Ohio,
and at the Interchange of good feeling
and patriotism which took place on that
occasion [ rejoiced that, at last, there
had been Union meeting made up Of
live men, and not of broken down poll
ticians, as is generally the case. But [
was somewhat disappointed, on looking
over the Telegraph, to learn that the
"Member from Meigs," "not supposing
the Union to be in danger, at least from
any act of his, felt constrained to vote
against any such doings," and so the
people of Meigs County were not repre-
sented on that occasion. Now, when we
consider that the gentleman has pub
lished the misdoings and fanatical freaks
of the South, and commented on them in
articles equally infammatory, it is to be
regretted that he did not write, with 9TH
ers, to allay the excitement and ill-feel-
ing which exists between the two sections
of our country. True, he was not elected
to attend such gatherings, and as free
man has perfect right to oppose them,
but / only regret that he views the mat
ter as he does. In another column of
the Telegraph is communication from
"Civis," who, it seems, is very indignant
because the Representatives of three ad-
joining States get together and have a
good time. HCiyis'' thinks that because
certain Governors and Legislators did
thus and SO, in matters concerning citi-
zens of their own States, therefore the
Legislature of Ohio should have given
them the ''cold shoulder on their ban
ter to visit Ohio. I presume ''Civis' is
one of those persons who think that the
best way to get to Heaven is to take a
copy Of Helpers book and travel South.
Now is it necessary, in order to elect a
Republican President in 1860, for the
Republican newspapers and orators to
harp continually on the wrong and fool
ish acts of our Southern brethren? Are
not the great principles of our party suf-
fcient, of themselves, to carry an cleo
tion? think that they are, and regret
very much that there is disposition at
the North to magnify every fanatical act
of the South, and blow over it, as a mat
ter endangering the whole country
Surely, the Republican party, with its
noble principles, can afford to be gener-
Gus, which is much better than being
spiteful. At least, SO thinks your sub
scriber, RopER1ek.

On Tuesday evening, November 18th, 1859
It Bashan, Meigs County, Ohio, Mr.. JOIN
MASON MCKENZIE, in his thirty-sixth year.
Thy memory, my brother, dear,
Still fingers in my heart,
And causes oft the flowing tear
And bitter sigh to start.
Methinks 1 hear thy lovely voice,
Attuned to sweetest song,
Call from afar, "Come and rejoice
Amid the heavenly throng"
My brother, dear thine image fair
No longer greets mine eyes;
But unto God l breathe prayer
Ts meet thee in the skies,
And hear thy voice, that now is still
To all thy friends below;
II learn the song, the joy to feel,
That mortals may not know.
My brother, DEAR we love thee yet,
Though thou from earth hath gone;
Nor can our saddened hearts forget
Their loved and cherished one
My brother, dear, when youth was thine,
When hopes enlivening ray
Cleaned brightly on thy spirits shrine,
Death summoned thee away.
o. what sad yet glorious hour,
When thou vert called to die;
Thou trusted in the heavenly pow'r
Thy spirit scared on high.
My brother, dear, the angel throng,
Who praise God night and day,
Have welcomed thee to join their song,
While l wanderer stay;
But hope to join that happy band,
Upon yon blissful shore,
And dwell in that immortal land,
Where parting is no more.
