COLUMBUS, TUESDAY, EECEMBER 6, 18.
The Late Gen. Elewellen.
In noticing some of the incidents in the lifo
Col. Tonnille, candidate for Mayor of this city,
in yesterday’s impression of the Times, usi
was made to the late Gen. of
Dr. W. F. Flewellen of Columbus. To i g
courage and genuine bravery, Col. Tennille is in
debted for hi. life at the battle of Ottosey. Hav
ing been severely wounded and attacked by an
Indian warrior, Col. Tennille would have been
forced to yield before the superior strength of his
antagonist had not Gen. Flewellen rushed to his
rescue and saved his life. In thus protec ting the
“scalp” of his friend, Gen, Flewellen was expos
ed to the deadly aim’of the Indian’s rifle which
was levelled at his breast.
The life of the Indian atoned for his offence,
and General Flewellen bearing hi3 comrade be
hind him on his horse escaped with him through
the thick array of 1 yelling savages to the Amer
ican camp. This we believe is tthe true version
of this incident in tne lire *,f cui
reflects-so much credit upon the conduct of his
friend Col. Flewellen, whose entreaties to mount
his horse behind him was only accepted by Col.
Tennille, when t he discovered that his remon
strances were unavailing, All honor to the gal
lant dead and brave soldiers who shed their
blood for our soil at the battle of Ottosey, in the
bloody campaign of 1813.
Pardon of choice,—Veto.
The veto of Gov. Brown to the bill pardoning
William A. Choice for the murder of Calvin Webb
is found iu another column. The announcement
of this veto created much excitement in the two
branches among the friends of Choice, and those
who did not believe the authority was vested in
the Governor by the Constitution to veto bills of
this character. Whatever may be the merits of
the bill pardoning Wm. A. Choice, we do not
propose now to discuss it. Justice may have de
manded its passage. The question before the
Legislature seems to be, that the bill pardoning
Choice is the law of the land without the signa
ture of the Governor, aud that the Governor has
transceenod his authority. We think the bill par
doning Choice requires the signature of the Gov
ernor before it becomes the law, and in the ab
sence of the Governor’s signature the provisions
of the bill cannot be carried into effect.
The Constitution reads thus:
“Sec. 32.—Every veto, resolution or order, to
which the concurrence of both Houses may be no*
cessary, except on a question of adjournment,
shall be presented to the Governor; and before
it shall take effect, be approved by him, or being
disapproved, may bo repassed by two-tbirds of
both Houses, according to the rules and limita
tions prescribed in oaso of a bill.”
Had the General Assembly met, without*a reso
lution requiring the “concurrence of both Houses”
that is to say,one house inviting and the other ac
cepting, and proceeded to remit the penalty of a
sentence against a culprit, there is doubt in our
mind aa to the authority of the Governor to veto
its action.
Without reforonce to the case of Choice, we are
constrained to say that the pardoning power is
greatly abused by the Legislature. It was grant
ed to the Legislature to interfere wuutuo judg
ments of Courts only to prevent their execution
in cases where additional evidence had been dis
covered after the trial, which, in all probability,
would have changed the verdict of the jury. As
to “hasty, inconsiderate” legislation, which it is
the province of the Governor to revise, wo think
the cases of pardon might legitimately come un
der that head. The legislator who can resist the
tears of a weeping relative, tho influence of a
sympathising crowd, the cry for mercy, the di
vine injunction forgive him, is almost regarded a
fiend in disguise, with none of the warm impulses
of a big heart.
The grave of the unfortunate victim is hardly
dry from the weeping of a stricken wife, ere the ‘
footsteps of the murderer crush tho delicate plant
reared by her hand. The sorrows of the dead
are forgotten in the sympathy for the living. All
this is said without reference to the case of Wm.
A. Choice, whom the Legislature in their wisdom,
and perhaps for good and sufficient reasons, have
seen fit to pardon.

Proclamation of Gov. Wise
Visitors to Charlestoicn.
Governor Wise, of Virginia, has issued a pro
clamation, in whioh, after stating that ho has or
dered a military force to Charlestown, in view of
the execution of Captain Brown, and prob
ably call for further military aid, adds :
“Now, therefore, all persons are notified that
the trains of the Winchester and Potomac Rail
road Company are placed under orders of acting
Quartermaster and Commissary General Davis,
for impressment on the Ist, 2d, and 3d of Decem
ber next. He will, under orders of Major Gene
ral Taliaferro, guard those trains for the use and
occupation of Virginia troops alone, and permit
no other transportation but for them. And the
eitizens of this Commonwealth are warned to re
main at home and on guard or patrol duty on the
second of December, and to abstain from going
to Charlestown. Orders are issued to prevent
women and children, and strangers are hereby
cautioned that there will be danger to them in
approaching that place, or near it, on that day.
If deemed necessary, martial law will be pro
claimed and enforced.”
Centennary of Americrn Methodism.—The
one hundreth anniversary of the introduction of
Methodism into the L nited btates is to be appro
priately celebrated by that denomination. The
Christian Advocate says :
The tru>- centennary of Methodism is the year
1860. Dr. Roberts, of Baltimore, has fully de
monstrated this fact from local as well as gener
al documents, and other evidence. The late Lo
cal Preachers’ Convention, at Baltimore, appoin
ted a committee to consult the general conference
respecting measures for its due observance. It is
a happy coincidence that the general conference
meet in this grand epochal year. It will be not,
indeed, the centennial general conference, hut it

The Confession or look. * 3#
The Confession of John E. Cook, one of John
Brown’s accomplices, now under sentence of
death, is published in several of the northern pa
pers, It does not disclose any new fact of im
portance, implicate any persons
names have not already been mentioned in con
nection with the Harper’s Ferry affair. In re
gard to the more prominent citizens of the north
he disclaims all which could impli
cate them.
The story of their journey from Kansas across
the country with a supply of Sharpe’s Rifles and
ammunition, halting here and there, and finally
settling at Harper’s Ferry, is related, but devel
opes nothing new of importance. The outsiders
who had any kn owledge of Brown’s operations,
were a few radical abolitionists, such as Fred
Douglas, and, as Cook thinks, Gerrit Smith. Ail
that Cook says, apparently implicating them, is
as follows:
“He (Brown) came to Harper’s Ferry about
the last of June, though I did not see him until
late in July or the early part of August; when
we met on Shenandoah street, Harper’s Ferry,
opposite Teamey’s store. 1 do not know who
were his aiders or abettors, but have heard him
mention in connection with it the name of Gerrit
Smith of New York, Howe, of Boston, and San
bum, and Thaddeus Hyatt, of New York city.
The attack at Harper’s Ferry was made sooner
than it was intended, owing to some friends in
Boston writing a letter finding fault with the
management of Captain 8., and what to them
seemed his unnecessary expense and delay. I
dv uutl huvn TT L.O ik*ov pwl Dvno WW t-AW for
they were cognizant of his (Capt. B.’s) plans.—
But I do know that Dr. Howe gave Capt. Brown
a breech loading carbine and a pair of muzzle
loading pistols, all of. government manufacture.
They were left either at the house of Captain
Brown, or at the school house where most of the
arms where conveyed.
A short time before the attack Jon Harper’s
Ferry, Capt. Brown requested me to find out in
some way, without creating suspicion, tho num
ber of male slaves on or near the roads leading
from tho Ferry, for a distance of eight or ten
miles, and to make such memoranda that would
be unintelligible to others, but in such a manner
that I could make it plain to him and the rest of
the company.
The remainder of the confession relates prim*
cipally to the abortive attack on Harper’s Ferry.
Os his own participation in the fight, he says:
After going down opposite the Ferry, I ascen
ded the mountain in order to get a better view
of the position of our opponents. I saw that our
party were completely surrounded, and I saw a
body of men on High street firing down upon
them—they were about a half a mile distant
from me—l thought I would draw their fire upon
myself; I therefore raised my rifle, took tho best
aim that I could and fired. It had the desired
effect, for the very instant the party returned it.
Several shots were exchanged. The last one they
fired at me cut a small limb I had hold of just
below my hand, and gave me a fall of about fif
teen feet, by which I was severely bruised and
my flesh somewhat lacerated.
He then narrates his subsequent movements,
after despairing of rescuing Brown and his con
federates. With Merriam and others they slept
on tho side of the mountain beyond Brown’s
house, until three o’clock next morning, when
they went to the top of the mountain, and in a
few hours passed over to the opposite side, re
mained until dark, and then escaped.
Those who desire to read the document
will have to procure a pamphlet copy, as it is
said to have been copy-righted and published for
the benefit of one of the wounded at Harper’s
Ferry. The pith of it, given above, is taken
from what purports to be the confession, as pub
lished in tho New York Tribune.
THE GOVEBMOR’S VETO IN THE CHOICE CASE.
Executive Department, 1
Milledgeville, December 1, 1859. J
To the Senate:
I herewith roturn the bill entitled an Act to
pardon vv illiam a. choice, ox tne county of
Fulton,now under sentence of death for the crime
of murder, without my sanction. The Seventh
Section of the Second Article of the Constitution
of this State, is in these words: “He (tho Gov
ernor) shall have power to grant reprieves for
offences against the State, except in case of im
peachment, and to grant pardons or to remit any
of a sentence, in all cases after conviction, except
for treason or murder, in which cases, he may
respite the execution and make report thereof to
the next General Assembly, by whom a pardon
may be granted.” Looking to this isolated seo
tion of the Constitution, I once doubted whether
tho whole power to pardon, in cases of murder
and treason, was not vested exclusively in the
General Assembly, and whether it was necessary
to the passage of such a bill, or its validity as a
law, that it be submitted to the Governor for his
approval, or whether he had any duty to perform
or any responsibility to incur, in giving validity
to the enactment. But an examination of other
sections cf the Constitution, which must be con
strued in connection with the section ‘ above quo
ted, removes all doubt upon this question, and
satisfies my mind that it is as much the duty of
the Governor to revise and approve or disap
prove a hill of this character, as it is to sanction
or refuse to sanction any other bill. It is true,the
above section of the Constitution vests the par
doning power in cases of murder, in the General
Assembly; and it is also true that the Second
Section of the first fArticle of the
vests the entire legislative power in the General
Assembly. It is in these words: “The legisla
tive power shall be vested in two separate and
distinct branches, to-wit: a Senate and House of
Reresentatives, to be styled the General Assem
bly.” But these grants of power to the General
Assembly are alike qualified by the tenth and
eleventh Sections of the second articlo of the Con
stitution, which are in these words:
Sectiofi 10. He (the Governor) shall have the
revision of all bills, passed by both Houses, be
fore the same shall become laws, but two-thirds
of both Houses may pass a law, notwithstanding
his dissent, and if any bill shall not be returned
by the Governor within five days after it hath
been presented to him, the same shall be a law;
unless the General Assembly .by their adjourn
ment shall prevent its return.
Section 11. Every vote, resolution or order to
which the concurrence of both Houses may be
necessary, except uu ajqaostluu of adjournment,
shall be presented to the Governor; and before it
shall take effect be approved by him, or, being
disapproved, may bo re-passed by two-thirds of
both Houses, according to the rules and limita
tions prescribed in case of a bill.
If therefore, this be a bill, or a vote, resolution
or order of the General Assembly, to which the
concurrence of both Houses is necessary, it is
the duty of the Governor to revise it, and approve
or disapprove it.
The circumstances of the killing as detailed in
evidence in this case, are substantially as fol-
I lows: Calvin Webb was a public officer in the
city of Atlanta, and as guch had in his hands a
bail process against Choice, the prisoner, for ten
dollars. On the night before the killing, he met
Choice, who, it was alleged, was about to leave
the State for New York, and informed him of the
fact that he had the process in his hands, and de
sired him to arrange for the settlement of the
claim. Choice desired Webb to release him up
on his promise that it should be arranged. Webb
refused to do so, and some unpleasant words
passed. About this time Col. Glenn stepped in
to the room where the parties were, and Choice
asked him to stand as surety for him. Col. Green
agreed to see the debt paid, and with this Webb
expressed himself satisfied. After this, Choice
who was at the time excited by the use of intox
icating liquors, cursed and abused Webb. Col.
blenn interfered and pre rented any difficulty—
aft®r which Webb left the room.
Next morning between ten and eleven o’clock
M ebb and another gentleman were walking the
street some distance from the car shed in Atlanta,
and saw Choioe a few steps from them. Not a I
word bad bsen spoken, when Choice presented a
pistol; Webb begged him not to shoot. He im
mediately fired one shot, which did not take effect.
He again presented the pistol and fired a second
time. The ball entered the body of Webb, and
he exclaimed, I am a dead man ; after which ho
walked a few steps and fell dead. This sum- |
mary of the substance of the facts connected with i
the kiiling, presents prima facie, a most unpro- j
voked and aggravated case of murder. The de- |
ceased, on the night previous, had only diseharg- !
ed his duty-as a public officer; for this the defen
dant had cursed and abused him, and on meeting
him next day, without the slightest provocation,
he drew his pistol aud deliberately took the life of
the officer. If pardons are to be extended in such
cases, what protection does the law afford to pub
lic officers, and what encouragement have they
faithfully to discharge their duties ? It is said,
however, that the defendant was insane at the
time the act was committed, and not, therefore,
legally or morally responsible for his conduct. —
If the fact exists, the conclusion naturally fol
lows : Was he insane ? The law presumes that
he was of sane mind, till the contrary is proven,
and when the fact that the homicide was com
mitted by him is established, the burden of prov
ing the insanity is cast upon the defendant. —
Evidence was introduced before tho court and
jury who tried the case, to sustain this plea. The
learned and able Judge in a clear and forcible
manner, expounded to the jury the rules of law
by which they were to. be governed in the investi
gation. They applied the evidence to these rules
of law, and by their verdict of guilty, decided
that the plea of insanity has not been sustained.
After a careful examination of the evidence in
the case, and a long personal acquaintance with
the defendant, I am satisfied that the decision is
correct, and that the insanity was only the tem
porary phrenzy which is produced by a fit of in
toxication : which by the express terms of our
statute is declared to be no excuse for any crime
or misdemeanor. It may have been true that the
defendant,on account of injuries received upon Lis
head some years since, had some predisposition to
insanity, and that he was on that account more
easily excited by the use of intoxicating liquors,
but I entertain no doubt that the excessive use of
these stimulants was the exciting and immediate
cause of mental derangement at the time of the
killing. In a word, the defendant was drunk,
and his reason was for the time dethroned by his
intoxication. He was in tho habit of indulging
to excess, and on these occasions, he is said by
the witnesses, to have been a very dangerous man.
Since the commission of this offence, he has been
confined in prison, and denied the privilege of his
former excesses, and it seems that nothing more
has been heard of his insanity. If on account of
his wounds received years since, his predisposi
tion to insanity was such, that excitement alone
would produce it, why have the exciting scenes
through which he has passed since his imprison
ment and during his trial, failed to have that ef
fect ? If on account of mental derangement pro
duced by his own voluntary act, he is to be ex
cused for recklessly taking the life of an innocent
human being, and again turned loose upon the
community; what guaranty have we that anoth
er victim may not soon fall by his hands in a
like fit of voluntary madness ?
In determining a question of the character of
the one now under consideration, I should be un
faithful to the high trust reposed in me, if I
should permit my reason to be overcome by my
sympathies. No act of my life has been more
unpleasant than the one I now perform. No one
has a higher appreciation of the character of the
relatives of defendant, and no one would more
Sincerely rejoice to be able to soothe the feelings
of a mother, whose heart, pierced with anguish,
now languishes with untold grief. But if it were
proper for me, on this occasion, to be influenced
by considerations .of this nature, I should do
wrong were I to contemplate the sufferings on
one side, and refuse to look upon the picture of
misery on the other. A few months since, the
family of Webb, the deceased, wore comfortable
and happy. His wife and little children had the
care and protection of a fond husband and a kind
father. But in a moment of time, by the cruel
act of the defendant, the wife a widow, and the
children orphans, were left to mourn their irre
parable loss, and were thrown upon the cold
charities of the world, almost friendless and pen
nyless, to make their way through life as best
they can, poor and neglected. But duty forbids
that I should be influenced by the contemplation
of this scene of misery on either side. The laws
must be vindicated and crime must be punished,
or society cannot be protected. And courts and
Juries must be sustained in the administration
and execution of the criminal laws of the land,
or violence and bloodshed will prevail to an ex
tent that will excite and prompt our people to
take the law into their own hands, in the belief
that it is the only protection left them. lam not
unmindful, while making this decision, that the
pardoning power is a necessary one in every well
regulated government, and that there are some
cases in which it ought to bo exercised. As in
cases of partiality, prejudice, or highly excited
feelings on tho part of tho court or jury, by
whom the case was tried, rendering it highly pro
bable that injustice was done the defendant; or
on account of perjury or mistake on the part of
any of the witnesses for the State, which is after
wards discovered, and which may have materi
ally influenced the verdict against the defendant;
or in cases of conviction upon such slight evi
dence that the mind is left in great doubt about
the guilt of the defendant, or in cases of extreme
youth ; in these, and possibly a few other instan
ces, where injustice is likely to be done, and when
the remedy is no longer within the reach of the
courts, the humanity of our Constitution has
wisely vested in another department of the gov
ernment, ample power to prevent the injustice, by
extending a pardon, and thus annulling the judg
ment of the Court*. But it should not be forgot
ten that this power is subject to be greatly abus
ed, and that it was not the intention of those who
formed our Constitution that the verdict of juries
and the judgments of the courts should be indis
criminately annulled by its exercise; and felons
convicted of atrocious crimes thereby turned
loose again upon tbe community. The extension
of mercy to such offenders is the infliction of
cruelty and injustice upon society. I am also
aware that it is urged that the pardoning power
is a God-like power and that it is noble to exer
cise it. But it should not be forgotten, when this
argument is urged, that God himself required no
less than the blood of bis own son as an atone
ment for sin, before he exercised the pardoning
power. “And without shedding of blood is no
remission,” is the language of His eternal truth.
God has said in his revealed law that “the mur
derer shall surely be put to death.” “Moreover,
ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a mur
derer, which is guilty of death; but he shall be
surely put to death.” “So ye shall not pollute the
land wherein ye are; for blood it defileth the
l&iHl; ana tlie Tnnd cannot bo olcanood of the
blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of
him that shed it.” If then we would respect the
revelations of God, and save our land from the
stain of innocent blood, we must execute the law
and punish the guilty. Some may say that the
stern truths of the Bible are not suited to the hu
manity and sympathy of the present age. They
are none the less truths, however, on that ac
count ; and it is none the less certain that the
curse of God will rest upon that State or nation,
which disregards them, and that his blessings will
attend those who obey them.

Treatment of Slates. —The following is aL
extract of a letter written by a northern gentle
man to his friend in the city of New York, and
published in the New York Courier & Enquirer:
Montgomery, Ala., November 14.—A few
days since I was at the grave yard attending to
the tomb of a friend, and while there a negro
funeral came in. The body was in a hearse, and
the pall bearers had on white scarfs. A minister
preceded it, and thsn came a handsome private
carriage with the owner of the deceased—a lady ;
then followed five more carriages, half a dozen
men on horseback, and one hundred men and
women, acquaintances. The body was in a
mahogany coffin, and a marble stone is to be put
at the grave. How long do you think it will
take the Abolitionists to get up an insurrection
where the slaves are treated in this way bv their
owners, which is the case all over the South ?
