COLUMBUS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9,1859.
Large Sale of Land in South-Western Georgia
The lands belonging to the estate of Col. Joseph
Bond, late of Maeon, Georgia, were sold at pub
lic auction, in Albany, on Tuesday last. This 10,
perhaps, the largest sale of landed interest, the
property of one estate ever made in Georgia, and
the prices and purchasers of the respective set
tlements may be an item of interest to our
readers.
Tbe settlement known as “Fowltown,” lying
in Lee county, containing 4,750 acres, was bought
by L. A. Jordan, at $25 per acre.
The “Wilkins Place,” in Dougherty county,
containing 1,300 acres, was purceased by Jere
Beall, at $lB per acre.
Thomas Monghon was the successful bidder
for “Oak Lawn” containing 2,077 acres at $24 12
per acre.
Dr. Rice was the purchaser of “Mud Creek, ’
2,830 acres, at $27 per acre.
The “Ducker Place” brought s2l 50 per acre,
2,500 acres, John Jones of Merriwether, the pur
chaser.
“Hickory Level,” containing 4,500 acres, was
knocked off to B. H. Lockett at $24 50 per acre.
The aggregate amount of the sales reaches a
fraction over $356,000.
These lands enjoyed a reputation for fertility
superior to any in the State, and we think the
figures at which they sold, were below the general
expectation.
One reason for the disappointment, doubtless,
is that the settlements were so large as tofexclude
all but very wealthy competitors. The impres
sion seemed to prevail that if they could proper
ly have been divided, a larger amount might
have been realized.
State Aid Bill. —This bill which passed the
Senate, granting the aid of the State to railroads
upon certain conditions, was the special order for
Tuesday Dec. 6, in the House. Mr. Dixon, of
Muscogee, objected to the bill in a few remarks,
but stated if the policy of Georgia was to grant
aid to railroads, all should share the benefit. He
offered an amendment extending the provisions of
the bill to the Muscogee railroad, which was lost
upon a rote. Mr. Harris, of Glynn, addressed
the House in favor of the bill. The bill has been
defeated by twenty majority.
No Speaker.
No Speaker is yet elected over the House of
Representatives in Congress. The Republicans
are voting for Sherman of Ohio; the Democrats
for Bocock of Va., and the Opposition, South, for
Boteler of Va. Hon. Humphrey Marshall of Ky.,
is energetic in his efforts to prevent a coalition of
many of the Southern Opposition members with
the Republicans. Hon. Emerson Etheridge, of
Tennessee, is the leader of the South Americans.
It is thought they will stand out for a compro
mise, and make some sort of a bargain.
Tbe Supreme Court.
From the proceedings of the Leg islature it wi)
be seen that the bill to abolish the Supreme Court
was not voted upon in the House, but a substi
tute passed submitting the question to the Consti
tutional Convention to assemble in May next.
It is thought by letter-writers from the capital,
that the bill for the abolition of the Court would
have passed the lower branch of the Legislature,
had not the substitute been offered. There is
great opposition to the Court, but we trust that
it may be re-organized upon a proper basis and
made such a tribunal as will command the res
pect of the bar and the people.
Free Perilous of Color.
A bill has passed the Senate of Georgia redu
cing to servitude free persons of color. It gives
them, doubtless, opportunity to leave the State;
after which time they must abide the penalty of
the law. In South Carolina, there are two peti
tions before the Legislature, one, Elizabeth Bird,
free woman of color, for permission to befcome the
slave of the Rev. William P. Hill, and the other,
Eliza Andrews, free woman of color, be allowed
to go into slavery.
Bouth-Americans in Congress. —The South
Americans have met in caucus and nominated
Hon. John A. Gilmer for Speaker. They passed
strong resolutions in favor of the Union and
the Constitution, and agreed not to coalesce with
either the Democrats or Republicans. They sent
their action to the Republicans and consented to
at with them, if a South American be voted for
as Speaker. The Republicans could not be
oeught with the Union chaff.
Military Corps.
Hon. James F. Dowdell, formerly a member
Congress from the Sd District of Alabama, is
elected to the command of the Lafayette Guards,
Chambers county Ala. He has proved himself a
true patriot in Congress and should the occasion
present itself will be equally chivalric as a sol
dier. Welcome, Capt. Dowdell to the military
fraternity!
Hon- John Forsyth.
We clip the following from the Montgomery
Confederation for the tribute it pays to the ability
of Hon. Johx Forsyth, formerly the Editor of
the Time*.
Mr. Forsyth's Speech on last Friday, on Fed
eral politics, is commended on all hands as one
of the very ablest of the session. It is not prob
able that we should agree with him, in all his
positions; but upon the great issue, the unity and
harmony of the Democratic party, for the defeat
of the Black Republicans, we can and do heartily
join him. He is true Southern man, and firm
and consistent Democrat. We regard him as one
of our ablest political lecticians ; and shall be
pleased to lay the speech in question, or an ab
stract of it, before our readers.
Charleston Convention.
Washixatok, Dec. 7. —The National Demo

time for the meeting of the Charleston Convention
on the 23d of April next.
Mayor or Sew Jerk.
A special dispatch in the Charleston Courier,
dated at Philadelphia on the 6th, says :
“Advices from New York report the election of

Details Os the Exeentlou of Old Brown.
Charlestown, December 2. P. M. —The des
patch sent at noon to-day has already put the
public in possession of the main features of the
execution of Capt. John Brown for his treasona
ble and insurrectionary doings at Harper's Ferry.
The following embraces all the particulars of the
memorable event that seem worthy of recording.
At an early hour the town was in more than usu
al stir, even for the stirring times that have fal
len upon this neighborhood. Soon the move
ments of the military drew all the citizens of the
place and all others who had been able to gain
admittance to the town to the vicinity of the
place assigned for the execution.
The prisoner was brought out of jail at eleven
o’clock. Before leaving he bid adieu to his fellow
prisoners, and wak very affectionate to all except
Cook. He charged Cook with having deceived
and misled him in relation to the support he was
to receive from the slaves. He said he was led
by him to believe that they were rife for insurrec
tion, but he found that his representations were
false. Cook denied the charge, and made but
little reply to Brown. The prisoner then told
the Sheriff he was ready, when his arms were
pinioned, and he walked to the door apparently
calm and cheerful. He wore a black slouched
hat, and the same clothes worn during his trial.
As he came out he was taken under guard of the
military. Six companies of infantry and one
troop of horse, with Gen. Taliaferro and his en
tire staff, were deploying in front of the jail.
At the door of the jail an open wagon, with a
pine box, in which was a fine oak coffin, was
waiting for him. He looked around and spoke to
several persons whom he recognized, and walk
ing down the steps, assisted to enter the wagon,
and took his seat on the box containing his cof
fin, along with Jailor Avis. He looked with in
terest on the fine military display, but made no
remark. The wagon moved off as soon as he
had taken his seat, flanked with two files of rifle
men in close order.
On reaching the field the military had already
full possession, and pickets were stationed at va
rious points. The citizens were kept back at the
point of the bayonet from taking any position
except that assigned them—nearly a quarter of a
mile from the scaffold. Through the determined
persistence of Dr. Rawlings, of Frank Leslie’s
paper, the order excluding the press was partial
ly rescinded, and the reporters were assigned a
position near the General staff.
The prisoner walked up the steps firmly, and
was the first man on the gallows. Jailor Avis
and Sheriff Campbell stood by his side, and after
shaking hands and bidding an affectionate adieu,
thanked them for their kindness. He then put
the cap over his face and the rope around his
neck. Mr. Avis then asked him to step forward
on the trap. He replied, “You must lead me, for
I cannot see.” The rope now being adjusted,
and the military order given, the soldiers march
ed and counter-marched, and took their position
as if an enemy was in sight. Nearly ten min
utes was thus occupied, the prisoner standing
meanwhile. Mr. Avis inquired if he was not tir
ed. Brown replied, “No: but don’t keep mo
waiting longer than necessary.”
At fifteen minutes past eleven the trap fell. A
slight grasping of the hands and twitching of the
muscles was visible, and then all was quiet.
The body was several times examined, and his
pulse did not cease beating for thirty-five min
utes. It was then cut down and placed in the
coffin and conveyed under military escort to the
depot, and there put in a car to be conveyed to
Harper’s Ferry by special train at four o’clock.
The whole arrangements were carried out with
a precision and military strictness that was most
annoying.
The general conviction is everywhere entertain
ed that the rumors of intended rescue were alto
gether an egregious hoax.
This morning Capt. Brown executed an instru
ment empowering Sheriff Campbell to administer
on all property of his in this State, with direc
tions to pay over the proceeds of the sale of his
weapons, if recovered, to his widow and children.
brown’s interview with his fellow-prisoners
Sheriff Campbell bid the prisoner farewell in
his cell, and Brown returned his thanks to him
for his kindness, and spoke of Captain Pate as a
brave man. He was then conducted to the cells
of his fellow-prisoners, desiring to take his leave
of them. Entering the cell of Copeland and
Green, he told them to stand up like men, and not
betray their friends. He handed each of them a
quarter of a dollar, saying that he had no more
use for money, and having said this, he bid them
a final farewell.
Next he visited Cook and Coppie, who were
chained together. Addressing Cook he remarked,
“You have made false statements.” Cook asked,
“What do you mean ?” Brown replied, “Why,
in stating that I sent you to Harper’s Ferry.”—
Cook replied, “Did you not tell me in Pittsburg
to come to Harper’s Ferry and see if Forbes had
made disclosures?” Captain Brown, “No,sir!
You know I protested against your coming.”
Captain Brown on his way to Execution.
On his way to the scaffold, Mr. Sadler, the un
dertaker, remarked to Captain Brown, “You are
a game man, captain.” To which Capt. Brown
replied, “Yes, I was so trained—ii was one of the
lessons of my mother; but it is hard to part from
friends, though newly made.” Then he remark
ed, “This is a beautiful country —I never had the
pleasure of seeing it before.” On reaching the
field in which the gallows was erected, Brown
said, “Why are none but military allowed in the
enclosure ? lam sorry the citizens have been
kept out.”
As he reached the gallows he observed Wm
Hunter and Mayor Green standing near, to whom
he said, “Gentlemen, good-bye;” his voice not
faltering in the least.
While on the scaffold Sheriff Campbell asked if
he would take a handkerchief in his hand to
drop as a signal when he was ready. He replied
“No—l do not want it; but do not detain me
any longer than is actually necessary.”
Sketch of Old Broicn.
Capt. John Brown was born at Torringford,
Conn. While he was quite a youth his parents
emigrated to Hudson, Ohio, where Owen Brown
(his father) became one of the principal pioneers
of that then new town. He was endowed with
energy and enterprise, and went down to his
grave honored and respected, about the year 1852
or 1853, aged eighty-seven.
At the age of eighteen or twenty, Capt. John
Brown left Hudson, Ohio, and came east, with
the design of acquiring a liberal education thro’
some of the New England colleges. His ultimate
design was the Gospel ministry. In furtherance
of this object, he consulted and conferred with
the Rev. Jeremiah Hallock, then clergyman at
Canton, Ct., (whose wife was a relative,) and in
accordance with advice there obtained, he pro
ceeded to Penfield, Mass., where, under the in
struction of the late Rev. Moses Hallock, father
of the present senior editor of the New York Jour
nal of Commerce, nearly fitted for college. While
there pursuing his studies, he was attacked with
inflammation of the eyes, which ultimately became
chronic, and precluded him from the possibility
of the further pursuit of his studies, when ho re
turned to Ohio. When the Kansas troubles com
menced in 1855, John Brown and his family emi
grated there, and he and his sons—two of whom
were killed in the border ruffian raids—were con
spicuous fighting men on the anti-slavery side.—
From the most correct accounts we have of his
Kansas career, it was marked with great violence
and outrage. He was continually engaged in
affrays with the pro-slavery men, and occasional
ly indulged in running off horses from the settlers
of that party.
We have the authority of the Herald of Free
dom, a Kansas abolition journal, for the fact that
Brown was a party to several affrays against the
pro-slavery men, before either he or his family
were molested; and it has been certified by affi
davits of eye witnesses that he and his son par
ticipated in the Pottawattomie massacre, in which
the family of the Doyles and Messrs. Wilkerson
and Sherman were taken from their beds and bru
tally murdered.
When the broils in Kansas ceased, Brown seems
to have set to work on the organization of the
Virginia insurrection, for which purpose he visit
ed the East, and had interviews with Gerrit
Smith and other abolition and black republican
leaders, endeavoring, and with partial success, to
raise money for the purposes of arms. Finally,
leaving Ohio, wher*he then resided, about July
last, with the few partisans who engaged with
him at Harper’s Ferry, he took up his quarters
on a farm within a few miles of that village.—
Here the arms, consisting of pikes and rifles, wero
collected and stored up for the “Kansas work,”
which was to be renewed in Virginia, and here
the final plans for the insurrection were completed.
The rest of the story is told in the account of the
attempt at Harper’s Ferry, bis capture, convic
tion and condemnation, and the failure of the
treasonable enterprise for which he yesterday
paid the penalty on the gallows. -
