The S.ock market was extremely dull to-day, and
the movements were quite irregular. The only
important dealings on the share list were in Rock

yielded slowly under a better supply of cash stock,
and was finally done on the second call at 62. New
York Central was firm AZ ia. with but moderate


transactions. The cash stock very scarce for i'm

Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice:

To His E1celiency Gorernor John B. Weller:


SIR There is at present in this county some
three hundred armed men, whose object is to
expel Chinese from portions of this county, dis
regardless of the law and its officers. The mob
is composed almost entirely of reckless and ir-
responsible men, most of them from portions OF
the county where Chinese do not work the mines.
| have endeavored, as far as possible with the
means at my command, to prevent it and have ar
rested several rioters; but it is almost useless
as we cannot get convictions. They will avoid
the authorities while in the act of DESTROYING
property belonging to the Chinese, and their
numbers deter men from informing on them, and
If arrested while driving them, then they will
prove that no violence has been used, and that
they have violated no law in marching behind
them, ETC. know of no way to get at this mat
ter to efectually stop any further outrage, ex-
cept to send the Chinese to the district from
which they have been expelled, and station a
party OF armed men in such district who will be
present and prepared at all times to defend them,
and show them that if the law cannot be peace
ably enforced, that extreme measures will be
used.


Fam anxious to enforce it atany cost, as think
that eftectually putting down a mob in any one
county would have beneficial effect through
out the State. y large majority of the citizens
here are ready to respond cheerfully to any call
that may make upon them. Many do not sus-
tain me as they should on account of the ex-
pense the county will necessarily incur. ! re-
gret to say they would rather the law should be
violated than be burthened with an addition to
an already large debt.


BE assured that | will use every possible
means IN my power to prevent any further out
rage. The law shall be sustained in the county
while am officer. Aay.sdvice from you would
be thankfully received.

We observe n movement being made by the
conservative journals of the North in favor of the
Communication of the sentence of "old Brown"
from death to imprisonment for life. The New
York Journal of Commerce is in favor of this,
and gives three reasons why it should be done, as
follows:


II we are asked why we are opposed to putting
these wicked men to death. we would say we are
opposed to it on three grounds. First Because it
would convert them into Martyrs in The estimation
of many misguided people. Death has a wonder
full effect in such cases. 1t often makes men
Martyrs for very insufficient reasons. But i'm
prisonment for life at hard labor would only make
them felons. Few meu sympathize with the felon;
almost all have tears to she'd for the martyr.
John Brown should not be made martyr. He
is not worthy of it. In the second place, the
putting of these miserable men to death, in the
present excited state of public feeling, would
exasptrate, instead Of giving time for cool reHec-
ton. The latter is what is now needed by the
masses of the people in all sections of our coun-
try. And in the third place. the Imprisonment of
these men for life, and hard labor, would answer
all the ends of justice. Most of the band of
the desperadoes were killed in the struggle. Their
weak and foolish attempt demonstrated that the
slaves around Harper's Ferry, in Virginia and
Maryland, are attached and faithful to their mas
ters; there is nothing to be gained by inaugural
ing system of terrorism, when it is so manitesty
unnecessary.


For these reasons-we might assign more IT the
occasion required tive do most earnestly hope
that the Executive of Virginia will hot allow mat
ters to be pushed to an extremity. 1t often holds
off the erecutoa of the law as of the nature Of the
law, that the old legal axiom is true:


SunmHm jus surmd su1amd mjurid.


Let moderate and general counsels now prevail,
and not vindictve and blind feeling


We admit that there is much truth in the
reasons assigned above why old Brown should
not be hung and thus be made maltyr of, but
we think that there are stronger reasons why he
should be put to death. If his death will make
him an example to be initiated by miserable and
misguided fanatics, it will also make him an
example to deter the more thinking and cautious
of the abolition desperadoes. We hope Gov.
Wise will pass unheeded all appeals for clemency
and mercy. Old Brown deserves to- die, and he
has been condemned to death by jury of his
countrymen. Let him have his deserts.

and character of Lord Brougham, by Mr.. f.
interesting extract:


HIS YOUTH.


His parents, though neither wealthy nor
distinguished by arisocratic titles, were in
comfortable circumstances, and occupied a
highly respectable social position. In child.
hood he was delicate and feeble to such de-
gree-being subject to frequent attacks of
illness-that only faint hopes were entertain.
ed that he would ever attain the age Of man
hood. The apprehensions thus excited were
rather increased than diminished by the pre-
cOcious development Of his mental faculties
another child of the Brougham family,
whose intelligence and memory had been
equally remarkable, having died in his tenth
year-for young Henry had not only learned
to read with facility, and to perform the sim
pie operations in arithmetic, when six years
old, but was capable of reciting whole pas
sages from Waller, Dryden and Pope with
unerring accuracy. The family physician
concurred in the opinion that it was not de-
sirable to encourage his intellectual progress
as long as his health continued in this preca.

to upon herself the responsibility not only
of furnishing him such books as he wished
but devoted herself earnestly to teaching him.
She hat been engaged nearly year at this
labor of love before the secret was discov-

as healthy as any of his playmates, it is al
most needless to say that she did not receive
much blame from his parents; although the
doctor felt somewhat mortified when it be-
came evident that, after all, it was not his
learned and skillful advice which was attend
ed with such excellent results. This little
episode, tlitling as it is in ITSELF and enrly in
the life of Brougham as it occurred, is worth
mentioning thus parenthetically, as an addi-
tional instance of the important influence ex

illustrious men. 1t is ole to which Lord
Brougham refers himself with pride and graf

Mr.. EDITOR: The Santa Fe mail arrived
on Tuesday last. The Conductor reported
narrow escape. The Indians attacked them
and made them give up nearly all their pro-
visions. and told them not to return again,
as it was their intention not to allow any
white men to pass there after the grass
commenced growing 1t is not unusual
for the Indians to make such threats, tho
they seldom kill travellers on this route
They are in too much fear of the United
States troops; which is fortunate for those
travelling that way.

The distance from this place to the State

there long.

more deeply Interested in the success of this

This is mo,v the best agricultural County in
The Territory. and is settled by men who
know the value of railroads. and knowing,

does through the richest portions of Kan

business, and win be the outlet of travel to

sas. The officers of this road both in the
Territory and Missouri, deserve much credit
for the energy and perseverance they have
displayed in pushing on this work. in spite
of the many obstacles they have had to en-
counter. While many of the Railroad com
