A Republican Member of Com
greSs at John Browns
Execution,

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Independent says
/ spoke in my last letter of the visit
Of Republican member of Congress to
Charlestown, and his hasty retreat. I
have since seen one of his Republican
colleagues in tho House-Senator Ash
ley-who not only visited Charlestown,
but actually witnessca the erecution.
With reckless daring almost equal to
to that which characterized John Brown
on his way to Washington, he resolved
in defiance of Virginia threats that Re-
publican should witness the hanging of
Brown. At Ilarper's Ferry he was de-
nounced-thc cars would not take him
to Charlestown-but with cool courage
he hired horse and buggy and drove
down to the beleagured village of Charles.
town, and put up at the village hotel.
He was fortunate enough while at the
Ferry to get the counterslgn, and so drove
straightforward the solid masses of troops.
Some hours before the execution he was
discovered to be spy, and hs plainly
avowed himself to the crowd to be Re-
publican Member of Congress. His in
trepidity alone saved his life. He was
insulted, his life was threatened hum
dred times, but by cool bearing he put
his panic-stricken foes to shame, and they
did not venture to attack or waylay him.
He saw Brown leave his cell with cheer.
full smile on his face, and as he passed mn
old negro woman, heard her say distinctly
to him, " God bless you, old man wish
[ could help you but cannot" And John
Brown heard her too, for he looked at her
moment and the tears sprang instantly
to his eyes.
Senator Ashley says that Brown stood
on the trap while the maneuvering Of the
troops was going on, fourteen minutes, by
the watch. The feeling of the troops and
the vast assemblage was one of horror se
this order of the military commander.
He adds that there was quiet, secret,
yet unmistakable feeling on the part ofas
least portion of the people of Charles
town, against the grand military display
OF Gov. Wise, if not of sympathy tor the

Correspondence of The Star.


GRoRsErowN, October 4. Iesa
There was an Interesting meeting OF the Bell
and Everett Association at the hall on the corner
of High and Gay streets last evening The at.
tendance was very good, and spirited addresses
were delivered by Messrs James A Magruder.
(president,) VIM. II. Tenney, John T. Bangs,
and Bremmer. The two frst named gentlemen
alluded TO the report that the republican meeting
on last Friday evening was disturbed by Bell
and Everett men and expressed their regret at the
occurrence; Mr. Tenney deprecstng the existence
of republican association here, and hoping that
In municipal contests there would be no division
OF the opponents of democracy. Mr.. Bangs stated
that le was present at that meeting, and thai SO
far as he saw no member of the Bell and Everett
Association was RESPONSE bic for the disorder that
the questions on that occasion Were asked bv a
person slightly intoxicated; and, further, that the
shumlng OF feet and changing Of position by the
standing portion of the audience was perfectly
natural while listening to tedious speech Of two
hours and quarter duration. A great difference
Of opinion in relation to the question Of fusion
with the democrats In the Northern States 70 de-
feat Lincoln seemed to exist among the several
speakers. Mr. Bangs was strongly in favor Of
fusion; Mr. Bremmer very decidedly opposed to
IL, preferring defeat Mr. Tenney thought Il no
was voter In State where fusion was proposed
and be thought Bell and Everett would be elected
thereby, he would be In favor Of II.

adjourned TO meet on Thursday evening of next
