JOHN BROWN;
1859.
Each letter and figure is one foot
high and nearly one wide, and cut
n inch into the rock. Mr.. Alexis
Hinkley, the present owner and &C.
cupant Of the house-a gentlemanly
and well informed young man-said
to me: "This word was done by a
stone.cutter," J. A. Daniels. He was
sent here for that purpose by Won
dell Phillips and Francis Dee. 1t
took him three days and a half to ac-
complish it. John Brown is buried
with feet to tho rock, with his head to
the west in a, line with the two OPP
posite corner of the lot and the house.
The head stone is of coarse granite,
three feet eight inches high twenty
two inches wide and two inches
thick. 1t was procured and letter
ed u long time ago in Congress, for the
grave Of Captain John Brown: but,
AS it did not suit his children, it was
mover erected there, but remained
till his son who lioo here, brought it
to Westport, and there left it. When
Mrs. Brown was with her husband in
a Virginia prison, as / understand; he
expressed a wish to be buried near his
house in North Elba, and have this
stone placed at his bead. Although
other inscriptions are upon it still on.

duced | have never been a follower
of John Brown, but standing by his
grave and looking off and around, |
can truly say how wonderful! In
this high region is the rock that |
have described. To appearance, for
several milos each way from this
rock the earth is comparatively level
though undulating and beautifully
diversified by lakes and streams and
groves. All around beyond this dis
lance the earth rises into hundreds of
mountains and hills, rearing their
SUBMITS into the heavens and form

you find Monns Marcy-the highest

dacs, ]-also, Mount Mcintyre, Mount
McMartin, Whiteface, and Others,

this spot for some specific object
Was this rock placed here purposely
as a monument for the one who alone
and silently lies at its base? Was
this mountain chair designedly reared
to wall this spot around? And Iastlyl

Brick POmCrOy,

NJ. NJ. Pomeroy, who publishes q
dirty sheet at La Cross, Wisconsin, is
becoming II sort Of Democratic Apol-
To-. The editor of the Cory, Pennsyl.
vania, Republican who claims to be
personally acquainted with Brick,
gives his readers the extracts from the
La Cross Democrat, on General Sher,
man and the clergy, which he culIed
some time ago, and then proceeds to
paint "Brico" thus;
Tho author of the above outrage
was born minus the moral attribute of
n manly character. He is a thief, liar,
drunkard aud wife, beater, to our per-
sonal knowledge, We have known
him to beat his wife and children I'M
mercifully, without the show of prov
ocation, and forbid the merchants to
trust them for The necessaries Of life,
while carousing in dens of prostitu-
tion, And such a thing the leader of
the Democratic party !. We have
known him to sing bawdy songs and
crack obscene jokes over the dead
body of his friend and companion,
who was ssrangled to death in an at
tempt to drink a gallon of whisky on
q wager, in the city of Milwaukee.
And we have heard him curse tho sun
and defy the power that sustained it.
In personal appearance, Pomeroy is
lust what the Imagination of q de-
cent man naturally pictures, after
reading the above characteristic of his
polluted mind. He has red, bushy
hair, (wears it long to hide his horns
a whisky-bloated face, and n red rum
blossom nose-in short, he looks like
the pcrsonifcation Of sin puSed out
red hot from the bowels of hell.
The Nashville Republican Banner
one of tie best toned Conservative pa,
pers in the country, in speaking OF q
book lately issued BY Brick, sensibly
entitled Nonsense" says:
W. confess that We are not an ad.
mirer of Mr.. Pomeroy any than
VIC would DO likely to admire any oth'
err charlatan or humbug and Mr.. P
is only a second rate hnmbug at best
For ~vulgarity and sonsationalism, hi:
book, in its matter and woodcut illus
tlation, is about on par with his de
teotable newspaper. It is said tina.
the latter has a circulation ofone hnn.
bred thousand subscribers. If so
then, it is a sad commentary on The
times, and does not speak well for The
taste and intelligence of a hundred
thousand of our Countrymen.
