The fall Of gold to lla on Tuesday was the
lowest point reached since last Sprrg, or before
the European war excitement took it up to
l24s. The decline was due to the prepayment
of the November interest by the Sub treasury,

by about thirty, five million dollars more sixty
days hence. Yesterday, however, there was
slight recovery. the closing quotation at New

GEN. LEE AND TIE JOHN BROWN RAID.

ZEN. LEE AND THE JOHN BROWN RAID
Our personal acquaintance with General Lee
commenced at Harpers Ferry at the time Of
the John Brown raid. General, then Colonel
Lee, was in command OF the first regiment of
dragons which had been ordered 10 Texas
Colonel Lee was in Washington to receive 10
structions, and, when news came there of
Brown : raid, he was asked to take command
of a company of marines. and 60 to Harper
Ferry to protect Government property. He
did SO, and when he arrived there Brown was
shut up in the engine house and only safe
until the house was stormed. When General
Lee summoned Brown to surrender on Tues.
day morning, Brown asked what terms be
would give him. Colonel Lee told him PRO
lection from the people, and fair trial BY the
laws Of Virginia" Brown said he would &C
cept no such terms as that" and slammed the
door in the face of the messenger. Colonel
Lee stood, then, as calm as if on parade, and
ordered his men 10 bring them out" They
did so, and as soon as it was over the Colonel
went TO work to prevent bloodshed and to res
cue the prisoners from violence. That was all
he had to do with the Brown raid. He re.
turned to Washington the same evening"
