- STEPHENS and HAzLETT, the last of the
Harper's Ferry outlaws, have been sentenced to
be hung on Friday, the 18th Of March. on
Monday of last week they were carried into
court at Charlestown, to receive sentence from
the Judge; and on being asked whether they
had anything to say why sentence OF death
should not be passed upon them, STEPHENS in
firm and distinct voice, replied that he had, il
it pleased the court Most of the testimony in
his case was true +; but in regard to that Of one
or two witnesses, stating that he wished the
town and people, slso to be burned, he positively
had never used any such language. he had nc
fault to find either with the treatment Of the au-
thorities or the proceedings Of bis trial. AL
had been done for him that he could reasonably
expect-his counsel had done his utmost, but he
appealed to the Court that as he had extended
mercy to others he thought he might expect
some degree of mercy. But whatever his fate
might be, he would meet II as became man,
unshrinkingly.'
HAzLErr's manner was sgitated. He said tina
the testimony against him was false, one witness
in particular being mistaken. His identity was
not fully made out. As prisoner, he had beer
treated most kindly; and his counsel, Messrs
GREEN and Boris, had done more for him thal
Nothern counsel could have done. Since he hat
seen Virginia and her people he viewed SLAYER!
in an entirely new and different light.
Judge Kenny then proceeded to pass sentence
on the prisoners, which he did in the most feel
ing and impressive terms. So the 18th Of Marcl
will see conclusion Of the strange, mad TRACED.

What makes the old man, who has lived for
years in q distant land, long to return to his
birthplace? He has struggled with untamed
nature and wrung fortune, perhaps, from the
virgin soil of the great West. Has not the hard
toll of long years banished from his mind the
scenes of childhood and youth? No! When his
head is gray and his form is bowed, the love of
home which has followed him through all iife's
changes, whispers to him to take his staff and
return to the graves Of the household You
see him amidst the relics of the past-himself
relic; he weeps for joy he smiles in tears; the
shadows and sunlight of thousand sorrows and
delights chase each other over his countenance.
Memory, though trescherous in all things else,
is faithful here; the heart is full, burdened,
overaowing with the scenes, the vivid scenes,
of the past.
No natural affection y more fruitful of good
than this love of HON, 1t is the essence Of
that unrevealed relig Thich dwells within,
before the young heart is stiled with the choke
damp of sin and infdelity. For this reason he
did not blaspheme, who said that father and
mother are the child's God; and, We may add,
home is the temple of the little worshiper.
This love is strong as death-stronger, and it.
self deathless. Itinspires patriotism, generosity,
magnanimity. It leads to great thoughts, great
resolves, great execution. 1t tends largely to
the cultivation of ideal and hence to the pro,
motion of happiness. That union and comming'
ling Of affection, which is best known in homes,
| is wedding of the soul to % joy forever The
old song has world of wisdom in its mellow
rhymes:
Hearts and homes, sweet words Of pleasure,
| Music breathing as they fall;
Each to each the others treasure,
Once divided losing all |"

HYPNOTISM.

Some seventeen years. ago, DR.. JAMES BRAID, OF
Manchester, England, published book on the
Rationale of nervous sleep, considered in rela-
ton with animal magnetism in which he de-
scribes method Of producing nervous sleep OF
insensibility, which he calls Hypnotism. The
method is, to hold small bright object from ten
to twenty inches from the eyes, and in such
position that the eyes must be turned inward
and slightly upward to look Mt it. The eyes and
the mind of the subject must both be fixed upon
the object. By these means, in from one to sew
eral minutes, according to the temperament Of
the person, q state of insensibilty may be pro-
duced, during which teeth may be extracted,
arms cut off, cancers cut out, and the most vio-
lent surgical operations performed without any
pain.
This subject, which seems to have attracted
but little attention for number Of years after
the appearance of DR.. BRAID's book, has been
lately revived with signal success in France

THE FREE NEGRO,

The condition of the free negro in the South
ern States is certainly remarkable. Itisnot our
design here to discuss the question what shall be
done with this class; but simply to call atten-
ton to the subject A law has been passed in
Arkansas, making it optional with them to leave
the State, or be sold into slavery. Some of the
other Southern States have been on the eve Of
passing kindred law. Yet, while this is the
case, the free-soil States, awakening to sense
Of the danger Of flooding their limits with idle,
ignorant and troublesome gangs Of free-negroes,
are shutting their doors upon them. Petitions,
like the following. are said to be in circulation
in Western Pennsylvania, for presentation to
the Legislature of that State:
"7o the Honorable, the Senate and House Of Rep
resentattpes of the Commonwealth Of PennsyIua-
mia, in General Assembly met: .: 49,.
"Your petitioners humbly represent that the
rapid growth of free negro population by lm-
migration, within o brief period, is not only o
burden to your petitioners, by increasing de-
mands on our poor fund, but owing to their great
Incidence and dissipation, they have flled our
prisons, thus increasing our taxes to an enor-
nous extent The recent raid at Harper's Fer
~ will result in stringent laws by the Southern
States for the expulsion Of free negroes from
their limits; SO we must shortly have thousands
more of those unfortunate creatures thrown upon
u.s. many of them in the decline Of life, or other
wise incapacitated for labor The e1igency calls
upon your honorable body to adopt some measure
to prevent an increase Of our already burdened
condition. If your honorable body has not the
power to prevent their emigration to this State,
we would prefer slave code"
The sentiment is evidently gaining ground in
the North West, that the influx of the 'colored
gem'men' is dangerous. Humanity requires
thstto be done, which will result in the greatest
good. They are upon our hands-what shall be
done with them. This is one Of the questions
that, at present, needs the careful consideration
of eyery politician.

genius in depicting the darkest and strongest

THE SOUTHERN CONVENTION.


The gallant and patriotic State of Mississippi
is the first to respond to the wishes of South
Carolina in regard to Southern Convention
The two bodies of her Legislature met in joint
convention on the 9th instant, and selected the
following gentlemen to represent the State in
the Atlanta Convention: Samuel s. Boyd, oi
Adams; Wyley P. Harris, Of Kinds; A. NJ. Clay.
ton, of Marshall; Samuel J. Gholson, of Mon:
roe; W. R. Hill, of Yazoo; Henry Dickinson, Of
Lowndes Hiram Cassidy, of Franklin
In case Of the appointment Of commissioners
by few of the other Southern States, what &C.
ton, it is asked, can be taken by this State p
Shall the Governor appoint commissioners, OF
transfer the responsibility to the Legislature
The great end aimed at by the State is conven'
ton of all the Southern States and the design
of meeting with part only should, we think,
be subject to the action of her Legislative body.
What seems to US most wanting OF the South,
Just at this time is union, harmony, concerted
action. Without this her strength is broken
her friends dispirited ; her enemies emboldened.
The object of the South Carolina resolutions to
Virginia, is to accomplish this unity of purpose
and we think, her Executive would be taking q
heavy responsibility upon himself to appoint
delegates to q convention of only a few Of the
Southern States. He may, however, delegate
commissioners to meet them ell in convention,
whenever it may please his Excellency. So we
think.
But what hope have we Of any such conven'
ton: Maryland will not be there; Virginia and
Texas, in al! probability, will not unite with u.s.
Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri are not likely
to come. We are divided among ourselves on
this important movement. We see no dawn, nc
sunrise, in the direction of Southern conven'
ton.
