SESAfoK ANDY JoNEsoN Dr. JNo: BRoWN'
The following eloquent remarks were
dehvere6 by Senator, tnow Presldent
JOhnson, of Tenuessee. in the Senate
Chamber of the United States Senate, on
the 18th of December, 1859, on the sub
Ject of John Browns raid on Harper
Ferry. They breathe the lofty and patrl
otic spirit which. in still higher sphere
he is now exhibiting to the world:
John Brown stands before the country
murderer. The enolmity of the extraor-
dlnary ferociousness of the father set
the son mad. The blood of these muir
dered menLnot unlike that OF the sacri
heed Abel-cried even from the tongue,
less caverqs OF the earth for pity, and to
Heaven fos Justice, but his iron heart, not
soul, refused to yield; but Heaven, IN the
process o6time, has meted cut to him
Justice on hegallows. Justice divine to
punish sin moves slow-the slower the
pace, the surer the blow twill oyertake
as If living-it will overtake us if dead
Justice has overtaken its victim, and he
has gone 10 eternity with crimsoned
hand, with blood upon his head.

thrown out, perhaps not intended, but
they operate as an apology and excuse in
the minds OF many, for the infamy, the
murders, the thieving, the treacherous
conduct of this old man Brown, who was
nothing more than murderer, a robber,1
a thief and traitor"

Gen. Humphreys Pardoned.

We learn from the jackson Mississir
plan that Gov. Sharkey received a tele
gram from President johnson on Satur
day evening announcing the gratifyin,
intelligence that Gen. Humphreys, Gov
ernor elect, has been pardoned. Gen
Benz. G. Humphreys, according to th.
Vlcksburg Herald, formerly represented
Claiborne county in the Legislature, and
when the storm of secession swept owe,
the State, was quietly residing on his
plantation in Sunflower county. He was
Union Whig, but no politician, neither
was he noisy in proclaiming the fact, but
MS friends who were opposed to secession.
cast their votes for him against the Sc.
cession candidate, 1860. When this>sct
was accomplished, and war came, how.
ever, he regretted the necessity, but
stood by his people. He commanded the
company from SuDfower in the lst Mis-.
sissippi Battalion, and on the oreaniza.
lion OF the 2lst Mississippi regiment was
made Its Colonel. In this capacity he
passed through the ba3tlee around Rich
mond, in 1862, and was with his regiment
at Sharpsburg, Ha1per's Ferry, the noble
and incompatible defence of Fredericks
burg, Marye's Heights, Gettysburg and
Wllliamsport. On the death of the gal
liant Barksdale, on the field of GETTY sbure.
he assumed the command of the brigade,
soon after being promoted to the rank OF
Brig adler General. Since that time he
has passed through the trying scenes Of
the famous First Corps, (Longstreet'sA in
Georgia, East Tennessee, the Wilderness.
Spottsylvania Court House, Turkey Ridge,
Petersburg and the Valley campaign of
Early. Here his career closed. He WIS
at home, suffering from severe wound
in the chest, received in the Valley, at
the time of the surrender Of the Confed-
crate forces.
Since that time his course has been
marked by the same devotion TO his State
which had distinguished his military
career. He has given his entire exer
tions 10 the speedy restoration of the
State to her former relations with the
Federal Union. to that end accepting in
good faith the terms prescribed in the
amnesty proclamation. He has the con.
fidence of the people and the soldiers to |
such degree as almost to be re markable
and there is no man who has more ina
pressed the military aulhorities of his
military influence. He has not sought
Washington to lay his loyalty before the |
fountain head, by letters of introduction
or sycoPhantic declamation, but has con
tented himself with reconciling the brave |
soldier boys Ito the inevitable condition
of affairs"

EXECUTION OF Ex PRESIDENT BARRIos.-
The New York News in speaking of this
affair, says: The news from Central
America shows that the apprehensions OF
the liberals in regard to the fate of Gen.
Barrios were only two well founded. The
ex Governor was tried as a revolutionist
by court martial, without any regard to
the pledge given to the Nicaraugan gov
ernment at the time of his surrender,
and has been ooneicted and shot. He
was notified of his sentence at eleven
o'clock at night, and shot at four the
next morning. General Barrios is said to
have been one ofthe most liberal and in
telligent men 10 Central America, and
his cruel and uuwarrantable death has
created general and widespread dis
tatisfaction in the Central American
States.-Nashville Dispatch.

the Fenian organisation. There are, At
present, about iYe hundred circles in the
country, and they are increasing at the
rate of0ne hundred per month. These

three hundred men. There are also
three hundred female circles in the
country, presided over by Miss Ellen Ma

is also Principal of the Norman School at

SIGNIFICANT PARAGRAPH.-We find thu
following significant paragraph in the
jackson (Miss.) Daily News, Of the 24th
inst.
We are authorized to say that Presi
dent johnson considers the Freedmen's
Bureau an Incubus upon the rights oI
the people; that there is no provision
for its support-no appropriation to sus
tain it and that it must sooner or later
collapse for want of funds"
We have an opinion of our own on
this subject, and it is to this effect :
When the State Legislatures of Mis-,
sissippi and Alabama meet and pass
laws iuly y protecting the rights of fre, d,
men IN person and property, as speci6.
cally ordered by the ordinance passed bv
their respective Constitutional ConYen.
tlons-then these Bureaus will be dis
continued-then the incubus" will be
removed. And the same event, we are
firmly persuaded, and have good reason
to believe, will happen in ali other South
ern States, as soon as they take similar
actlon-but not before. We NAV be ms
taken in our views in regard to this oar.
ticuiar matter, but such, nevertheless
are our honest convictions, founded unon
what we regard as reliable data, to saw
nothing of the natural logic OF events. j.

D@-The New Orleans True Delta very
properly controverts the idea of the New
York Times, that the close imitation oi
the Mississippi Convention. by those ol
South Carolina and Alabama, with the
obvious tendency of other Southern
States to follow the same example, is the
result OF preconcerted arrangement and
understanding.
The True Delta sees in the fact only an
evidence of an unanimous sentiment in
the South, in favor OF being restored in
loyalty and good faith, on the Presidents
plan of reconstruction. e5ubaif

from Monterey.
We learn from gentleman who has

AFFAIRS IN FLoRIDA-The Times
Jacksonville Florida correspondence has
the following:
The progress of re organization, under
the administration of Governor Morrow,
lG wholly satisfactory, and favorable to
the Union cause. In his recent procla-
nation he says: By the operations and
result of the war slavery has ceased to
exist in this State. 1t cannot be revived.
Every voter for delegates to the Con-
vention, in taking the amnesty oath
takes a solemn oath to support the free
dom Of the former slave. The freedom
intended is full, ample and complete
the freedom of the citizens of the Uni
ted States. This does not necessarily in
clude the privilege of voting, but it does
include the idea of the full constitutional
guarantee ofits future possession. The
question of his voting is an open cues
