The reporting Of the execution of the
"great agtator," John Brown, for the New
York Tribune was one of the most danger
Gus pieces of service that journalist was
ever called upon to perform. 1t seems no.
thing now to go from New York to Charles
town or any other Southern village, and
write about anything or anybody; but in
1859 il was another affair. The Tribune
had exasperated the whole slavcholding
South, and particularly the Virginians, by
its merciess sarcasm and Iunsparing criti-
cisms upon their behavior in the whole
Brown affair; and feeling ran so high at
last that it was openly declared that any
correspondent for that hated sheet who
might show his face within the precincts of
the village of Charlestown should he hung
| from the nearest tree. Three innocent
| Northcners had in turn been chased away
and just before the fatal 2d Of December,
the Tribune was without representative
at the seat of events. At this juhcture
Col Henry S. Olcott, who was then the
way concerned with its news department.
went to Mr.. Dana and volunteered to go TO
Charl .stown and take his chances of getting
back with a whole skin. The offer was, of
course, accepted, and carte 6laache was
given to Mr.. Olcott 20 60 us he pleased,
and do what he pleased 70 effect
the object in view. Accordingly. he
took steam to Petersburg, and the
next day joined a detachment of
the Grays, which was ordered off to REIN
force The company. lie had Il travelling
companion, an officer ON the staff Of the
general commanding the Virginia forces,
and the party reached Charleston in due
course. From the momen, of arriving at
the depot, however. Mr.. Ocott's peril be-
gan. He had to face Il crowd of thous-
and or more lCungers, who had gathered at
the arrival of each train to scrulinze the
passengers. and watch The movements Of
the provost guard who examined passes,
and consigned suspicious characters to the
guard-housc. lIe met two old acquant-
ances in the notorious fre-catcr. Edmund
Ruilin, the man who fired the first gun at
Fort Sumter, and Col. Ware a noted sheep
breeder but he adrotly altered bis fca-
lures so as to pass unrecognized. The men
of the Petersburg Grays were Quartered in
some small offices, where they slept on the
bare floor, packed like sardi1cs in q box
but Col. Olcott sticking TO his friend the
officer, got billet at a house where tie
whole staff lodged. This residence was
directly opposite the field of execution, and
not more than 100 yards from the gallows
so that by simply sitting on the porch he
could see everything that TRANSFERRED. How
he passed his time, the narrow escapes he
had the details of the execution, and the
manner of his departure, are all narrated
in the article contributed by him to "Lotos

least so the papers up there say.
Some people outside Of Vermont think
it was rather clever thing for the senate

returning the Morrill, money, for thus it
stays in the treasury and the state saves its

Representative King of Luncnburgh was,
during the last session. very earnestly in
favor of the bill abolishng the board OF

himself on his success, there were one or
two other things lie seems to have neg
lectcd in his earnest pursuit Of that object.
There was the bear bill, for instance,
in regard to which, if Mr.. Danforth had
been properly seconded, a different result
might have been reached. We are led to
speak of these things, says the Montpelier
Jounal. because one of the six bears pro-
vided for in that bill is still at large in Iu-

More Strikes.

New YORK, Dec. 3.

wages, and new hands have been employed.
1t is reported that the operatives in Hig-
gins & Co.'S carpet factory, Forty-third

about fifty years, camo to this village on
Monday to get some groceries. He was an

GOV. Dix on Tweed's Imprisonment

ALBANY, Dec. 3.
Gov. Dix wrote letter to Mayor Have
meyer on Nov. 9th, three days before the
mayors death, in which he said his atten-
ton had been called to the case of William
NJ. Tweed, and the unlawful indulgences
granted him. The governor had the i'm
preston that Tweed was in the hospital on
account of ill-health, or for service, but he
had ascertained that he has a room furnish
ed with all personal comforts, that he was
allowed to wear ordinary dress, received
visitors and was exempt from the restraints
which were imposed on hundreds of his
fellow creatures guilty of triiing crimes
often committed under the pressure OF
want This distinction is disgraceful to
the state and makes criminal justice q
mockery. The mayors attention is called
to these facts.
