Boston Munielp&l Election.
An esteemed friend assured us yester
day that we were in error when we noted
tho election of Mr. Lincoln, to the may
oralty ol Boston, as a triumph of the Black
Republicans. The Journal of Commerce
also denies that Mr. Lincoln was the can
didate of the Republican party. %We were
about to make the correction when we
took up the Boston Advertiser of the 13th,
in the tending editorial of which wo read :
It will be obst/Tved by our report in an
other column, that the municipal election
yesterday resulted in tho return of His
Honor Frederic W. Lincoln, Jr., to th.o
mayoralty, tho honorable post which he
has held to the great acceptance of his fel*
low-citizens for two years pat>t. We re
cord this result with much pleasure. * *
We claim the result, likewiso, as a re
publican victory. It is truo that Mr.
Lincoln was the nominee of the “citi
zens” organization, ns well as of the re
publicans ; billet is likewise true that the
other great political parly departed from
the customary routine of party preferment
in the nomination of Wightman.
* * * « «• * <*» *
Tho republiean* have prevailed with their can
didate.
While Mr. Lincoln Is w t a were partisan, there
1h not the least doubt of hla devotion to the essen
tial principles of the republican party; the repub
licans accordingly sustained no loas of principle by
giving him thek nomination, and the people of
Boston in ratifying It have testified conclusively
their willingness to give the republicans thoir full
Tote whenever the candidates whom they propose
are of a charactor to deserve their confidence.
The same paper says:
There were three oandldatea for Mayor in the
field:—Frederic W. Lincoln, jr., the present In-
cumbsnt. who Was nominated by the republicauB
and by the CitIsons’ Committee; Joseph M. Wight-
mau, the candidate of tho democrats and the "roal
citizensand Julius A. Palmer, the temperance
candidate. Frodorlc W. Lincoln, Jr., Is re-elected
by the gratlfyng plurality of 1,128 and by the clear
majority cf 440.
The Board of Aldermen 1r composed of nine re
publicans and temperance men, and ouly four
straight democrats.
Po much, then, for the effect of the great Union
mpetlng In Boston.
writ is Mated that there ij a project
on feat at the South to introduce staves
into Florida from Cuba.
So says the Philadelphia Inquirer. If
the General Government should offer no
moro opposition to a submarine railroad
than it has to the operations of the under
ground railroad, and the prices u! negroes
continue to go up as they linve during the
last five years, we have no doubt that a
very good business might be done in trans-
lerring at..ves Irom Cuba to the South.
VlRQINIA ASP FonEION CoAl The
merchants, mechanics and otiier business
men of Virginia held another meeting on
Wednfsday, when a committee appointed
at a previous meeting submitted a Series of
resolutions, looking to thn better prolec-
tiun and greater encouragement of homo
tnanuiactures, and to induce the cities of
Virginia to engage in direct importation.—
They call upon the Legislature ro aid the
proposed measures, and tho citizens of the
interior of the State to sustain them in their
efforts to inaugurate u system of foreign
commerce, which will enable them, by im
parting into Virginia direct from loreign
ports thoir necessary supplies, to ship the
rich products of tho State without the in
tervention ot Nc/hhern cities.
Virginia Legislature.—On Wednesday,
in both Houses, a bill was reported appro
priating $100,000 for tho purchase of fire-
arms and munitions of war, to bo distribu
ted by the Govefoor among organized vol
unteer companies in oxpoaed portions of
'he Stale. In the House a communication
was presented from the Hon. C. J. Faulk-
uer, urging un appropriation for the relief
of G. W. Richardson, of Mariiniburg, and
Samuel C. Young, of Charlestown, who
were wounded at Harper's Ferry. A bill
was reported in tho House to pay the ex
penses incurred by tho Governor in tho
Harpor’s Ferry affair.
Fanaticism Kebujkd.—Capt. -Harring
ton, Democrat, who was re-elected Mayor
°f Maooheater, N. H., this Week, over the
Republican candidate, is the gentlenman
who, when the fanatics of that city attempt
ed the lolling of tho bell of tho City Hull
on tho day of John Brown's execution, de
feated the,base attempt by dropping their
emissary through a scuttle. Copt. II. waa

I'muauTATtoN 0lTtHBtJa!,V—It Is suggested by
Tho Abolition Demonstration in Phils,
delphte.
The telegraph on Thursday night in
formed ua that (here Waa much excitemeny
in Philadelphia in consequence of an ap
prehended collision between the abolition
ists, who wore about to make an offensive
demonstration, and the conservative's, who
were determined to check them.
In tho Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, of
Thursday and Friday, we have an account
ol the proccocdinga. It seems that the
Annual Abolition Fair, which was in sea-
SaVANNAH. GEORGIA. TUESDAY M () UNI NG. DEC KM B 1C R 20. 1863.
.Ion In the Assembly Buildings, had been * n ^r, H. McCnen, aged 15, inching a
riot outside the Ilai). Held by Alderman
converted into an abolition convention, at
which violent inflammatory speeches were
made, (be speakers holding up Joun Brown
as a hero and martyr, whoso example
should be imitated by all who desired the
abolition of slavery, and denouncing the
recent union demonstration in that city
ridiculous and without vitality. One of
the speakers, Mf. Oliver Johnson, of tho
Anti-Slavery Standard, said :
It has been Baid, over and over again,
that the ami-slavery movement was crush
ed out. At a juncture when it seemed
(the Government awning no territory on
which the tost could be made,), that the
subject must drop, John Brown, as if ex
pressly sent by God, went down into Vir
ginia. N*iw it is impossible to get any
other subject beforo the people. Tho
movements to get up a counter current of
•ympathy now are very ridiculous. Look
at Boston! There was no vitality there.
All the old politicians were unearthed—
those who had been aer aside fur twenty
years—and their dry bonea shaken in the
face of the country. The same ia the case
here. Only the old fogies, not represent
ing the best sentiment of Philadelphia,
could be got upon tho platform at Jayno’s
Hall. Mr. Johnson was never more on-
ouutaged in tho cause than now. lie had
a firmer beliet than two yenrs agu, that
slavery would be peacefully abolished ; but
il the telegraph wires should to-day flash
intelligence that the slaves, at almost any
sacrifice of white and black blood, had
achieved their liberty, ho should cry,
“ Glory ho to God in the Highest!" Shall
we be ashamed of our own work 1 Here
is the effect of our owa preaching. John
Brown waa the type oRiundreds ol others.
Why is the South bo panic-struck f (We
quote the iangtiage of Mr. Johnson.)
Because she knows that Brown struck a
chord which vibrates through the North.
“ It becomes ua to gird ourselves alresli to
the work. If any of you feel called upon
by God to do such work as John Brown
did. go and do it." Tile work of emanci
pation, eller thirty years’ labor, enema to
have just begun. Within ten years such a
blow will bo struck SB will cause the whole
qation to rair.o up and put Blavory down.
Tho proceedings had excited consider
able indignation, and tho owner of the hall
in which the fair waa held, foarlul that
violence might bo done to the building*
had it closed, tho Mayor having also re
quired tltaq tho great anti-slavery Hag,
which obstructed the street, should bo
taken down.
The fair was finally closed, ami the
crowd adjourned to the National Hall to
hear an abolition lecture from Mr. Curtis,
one of the editors of the Harpers’ Maga
zine.
In the meantime notice had been issued
calling a meeting outside of the hall, " to
adopt such measures as the exigencies may
require to prevent the dissemination of
principleacalculated and intended to arouse
a spirit of most intense animosity in the
community, ond lead to fearful conse
quences, and to check hireling incen
diaries from making further inflammatory
addresses in our loyal city."
The meeting in front of the Hall as
sembled about half an hour beforo the lime
appointed for the lecture, evidently fur the
purposo of preventing Mr. Curtis from
lecturing. But the Mayor of tho city had
adopted measures to prevent a riot. The
Bulletin says—
Thero were fully 500 men nn duly,
and they were officered by tho Lieutenants
ol the respective divisions. Mayor Henry
was present during the entire evening, and
al points where danger was most imminent
ho was on tho nlert. The Sheriff and Chief
Buggies were also upon tho ground, and
the dire tr command of the men devolved
upon the chief.
While the from of tho Hall was guarded
by a double platoon of-tuon, the rear was
carefully watched, and a large idreo, con
sisting of the Reserve corps and other of
ficers, were stationed in the saloon. In tile
car house below tho Hall was a lorce of
about one hundred men, who were kept for
servico al any point where their presence
might be uoeded. The onlire force of de
tectives, high constables, and specials were
also on duty.
The crowd were kept from interfering
with the abplitionis’s and their lecturer,
who passed intothe Hail, whers Mr. C. de
livered himself ol an incendiary speech
which elicited muck, applause and some
hisses. Ail who hissed were immediately
arrested by the police. The crowd outside
contented themsolves with groaning and
hissing, and throwing a few stones through
the windows. One bottle of vitriol was
thrown. Miss Fussel, a daughter ol Pro
fessor Fussel, of the Female Medical Col
lege, of Philadelphia, was badly burned
about tho faco by tho acid, and several
otliur ladios bud their clothes ruined.
Messrs. Cyfus Chambers, Allen Moore and
others were hurt more or leys by the vitriol.
One ntan was strock in the eye by a frag
ment ot the bottle, and il was thought the
sight of the organ was destroyed.
The lecture Was concluded and applaud
ed to the end, despite the opposition out
side, alter which the meeting adjourned
and passed out of the hull through an open
ing made in the crowd by the police. The
Bulletin (Black Republican) characterizes
the outside meeting ns having been com
posed chiefly of boys 'and the rabble of the
city, incited and led by seine Southern
medical students qnd a lew respectablo
citizens- Among the arrests made we ob
serve the following—
John Scott, said to belong totheKillor

Thua ended the apprehended riot, which,
but for the prompt action of the Mayor,
might have proved a #ery serious affair.
Judge Kelly, of Philadelphia, who es
corted Mr* Curtis and introduced him to
the audience, called on tho Mayor the next
morning 01 behalf ol Mr. Curtis and tho
other persons who believed their safoty
had been endangered, and returned sincero
thanks for the powerful and efficient pro
tection afforded them by the police force.
The Mayor remarked that ho had no
sympathy with Mr. Curtis in many of tho
sentiments he entertained; but his duty,
to secure to every one tho exorcise of
the undisturbed freedom of speech, was a
very plain one, and he was determine 1 that
so far as his exertions and the exertions of
the force under his control could accom^-
plish it, that the constitutional rights of oil
should be respected and preserved from
violence.
“The fihoo Beginning to Pinch.*'
The people of the North are beginning
tofeel the effects of their course towards
tho South. As a sample how the physic
is working, the Philadelphia Ledger says;
“The excitement which prevails in the
public mind in reference to our sectional
disputes, is very seriously disturbing tho
relations ol business, and, if continued,
will cause a great dual of suffering among
our merchants and laboring population. A
great many of our trades depend upon the
Southern market; some havo suddenly
ceased operations for want of orders from
the South, and consequently employers
have had to discharge their workmen.—
This is particularly trying in thie period
of tho year, and will be still moro distress-
_ unless such confidence is restored as
will enable business to flow naturally and
prpperly in its legitimate channels. Il
Congress has any respect lor the sufferings
of free whito men, they will cease talking
of the imaginary wrongs of the negro, or
ganise tho (louse, and let the Government
proceed in its harmonious and usuul course.
I’lie sooner they do this, the sooner will
confidence bo restored, and the sooner
some of their constituents will find a de
mand for their labor.”
The editor of the Hartford Times says :
“A manufacturer called upon us this morn
ing, and said that a large share of his busi
ness has been done at the South, but that
his trade has beon cut oR thj# full; that he
already Icels most disastrously*the effects
of the unfriendly feeling that has lately
been so industriously encouraged at the
North. His agents at the South want no
more of his goods, and his losses this win
ter will be severe.”
Upon which tho Norfolk Day Book re
marks: We do not wonuer at it. AJI we
have to say, Mr. Manufacturer, is, thut
you will no: be alone in tho experience of
those unpleasant sensations, of the South
wanting no more of your goods. The John
Brown crusade has been instrumental in
awaking the South from her Rip Van
Winkle nap, and her people are boginning
to take a searching glance into a few facta
which they would havo slumbered over till
doomsday, probably, if it had not been for
John Brown. They discover that you have
been trading on their capital, that they
have been paying you two or three hundred
millions of dollars for your manufactures,
and a liko amount for your importations,
and that whilst you us a partner contribu
ted but live millions to the concern, they
havo had to contribute in the neighborhood
of a hundred millions.
But, Mr. Manufacturer, we havo a sug
gestion that will romove you from your
disagreeable dilemma. The South is pop
ulous and wealthy, and her people are de
termined that her manufacturing shall go
on at home ; now if you do not come here
and carry it on, others will, and in thut
event your customers will be lost to you
forever. So, tho iuvitution is as open to
you as it is to any one. The land is rich,
the climate the best in the world, and the
peoplo hospitable and generous ; means ot
travel and transportation exist in abun
dance, and a thousand cities, towns, and
villages erect you on every hand, containing
millions of customers for eviry useful ar
ticle you can manufacture.
Sombthino New-Old Brown Kisbrs a Neoro
Bady.—The Cbarlentown correspondent of the
Tribune publishes the fallowing iucldent, which
occurrsd upon Old Brown’s emerging from the
jail to tak* up his,Hue of march for the gallows :
On leuvlug the jail John Brown had on his faco
nn expression of canines* aud serenity, character
istic of the patriot who is about to die with a living
oouBcioubuesH thnt he is laying down his life for
the good of his fellow creatures. Ilia face was even
joyous, and n forgiviug simlo rested upon his lips,
lie was the lightest heart, among friend or foe, In
' the whole of Ohnrlustown that day, and not a word
watf spoken that nas not uu Intuitive appreciation
of his uianiy courage. Firmly and with olastic
step he moved forward. No flinching of a coward’s
heart there. He stood In the midst of that or
ganised mob, from whose de-potic hearts petty
tvr .ny Mtuined for tho nonce eliminated by the ad-
miration they had in once boholding a mau—lor
John Brown wbh there every inch a man.
As he stepped out of the door a black woman,
with her littlo child in her arms, stood near his
way. Tho twain were ot the desplsod ruce, for
whoso emancipation and elevation to the dignity
or children of Ood he was about to lay down his
life. Ilia thoughts at that moment none can know
except as his an s interpret them. He stopped for
a mouieut in his course, stooped over, and with the
tenderness of one wh .su love is as broad as the
brotherhood of uun, kissed the < hi Id affectionate
ly. That niothor will bo proud of that mark of
distinction for her offspring.
It is a little singular that of all the correspon
dents present on that day, the Tribune man waa
the on y one who witnessed the emphatic buss
which Ossuwatomie gave the negro baby.

demned prisoners, Cook, aud Coppic. us
caped Irom the jail, and were fired upon by
tho sontinols acid driven back to prison.
They are now in,thu custody ol Sheriff
Campbell.
The prisoners had mounted (ho jail wall
when they were discovered by ihu sentinel
on tho outside, who immediately gdve the
alarm and fired upon ihem. They had
sawed their manacles asunder with the
blade ol a Barlow knife, which they had
concealed and made into a fine saw.
It ia ascertained Irom their confession
that they hove been engaged in preparing
for their escape during the last ten days.
They made a hole in the wall near the
window, which they concealed with paper,
hiding tho bricks they removed under the
bed.
Upon the alarm being given, they made
no resistance, but surrendered as soon as
they discovered by the shot of the sentinel
that they wore detected.
The event has produced the utmost ex
citement here, and all are on the alert.
Major General Taliaferro is directing
everything in psrson, and will maintain an

Harter’s Ferry, Doc. 15.—8>s; P. M.—
Great excitement prevails here at the pres
ent time, on account of an attempted es
cape Irom jail ot Cook ahtl Coppic. They
had cut a nole through the wall of the jail
and wore on the wall of the jail yard and
were fired on by sentinels outside.
Another account eaya that the bars of
the windows were sawed, but all is envel
oped in mystery. The prisoners aro now
hoavily ironed, and a special guard is
standing over them. Tho streets in front
and arcund tho jail are also kept clear.
Second Destatcii.—Tho prisoners now
soy that they got the shackles off their feet
by sawing thorn with an old knife, and
then lorccd tho bars.
A misunderstanding occurred several
days ago between General Talialerro and
the Jailor in regard to placing sentinels in
side the juil. The Jailor claims the right
to have his own men.
The General gave way to him but placed
a guard on the outside, which has thus
prevented tho escape of the^ prisoners.
Conk says he could have made his escape
had ho jumped down and throttled the sen
tinel.

Returning Reason in RNOLANo.—Some
of the London journals, according to the
New York Express, take a much more
national view ol the Harper's Ferry out
rage than the “ irrepresaiblo conflict” men
in this country. The Morning Herald
has an article on the subject, t.he substance
ol which is this Slavery is an institution
planted in the South, not hy the present
generation 01 Southern men, but “ we, the
peoplo of England.” The American
colonies made ati effort to rid themselves
ol tho institution while they were British
colonies; hut British influence prevented.
And, to-day, it is this same “we, tho
people of England,” that is the main prop
and pillar ol the samo slavery—supporting
it by buying ol it, as it did Iasi year, over
$150,000,000 worth of slave-groa rt cotton,
rice and tobacco. How unjust, then, bow

l From the Demon Post.J
n . John Brown's Funeral.
Brown’s body arrived at North Elba on
Wednesday last. On Thursday, as we
havo already stated, tho luneral took
placo. The neighbors dug the grave, Rev.
Mr. McKtin read tho funeral service, and
the following is (ho eulogy of Wendell
Phillips t
He spoke as follows* How feeble all
words are here. You think you have
known him. None ol ue seem to have
Known him. Walking serene to the scat-
fold, we say . what courage ! Stooping to
kiss that negro child, he seems all tender
ness ; but he is only the centre of a group.
These quiet homes eent six to that score
ol heroes.' How bravely they died—-each
standing in his post nil his voice said
“enough.” And thesoweeping children
and widows, how blessed, since in the
last throbs ol the brave young hearts at
Harper's Ferry, 1 thoughts of them min
gled with love for Ood and hope for the
the slave. He has abolished sluvury in
Virginia. Some may say that is too
much. Bunker Hilt sevurtd New Eng
land from the mother country. Yet men
that night pitied Warren. We see him
cutting the link. George III. ceased that
day to rule here. History will date Vir
ginia emancipation from Harper's Ferry.
When the tempest uproots one ol thovo
pines, it may live months; but it is tim
ber, not a tree. John Brown has loosened
the roots of slavery ; it may gasp; but it
is dead. He said ho could take the (own
with twenty men, and did it. Who slop,
ped him f Not Virgihta ; her he conquer
ed. The Union scented to check him*
In reality God said, “ that work is dune;
you have proved that a slave State is only
Fear in the inosli of Despotism. Now
come up highest by martyrdom—change
a million hearts.”
Such a life was no failuro. Virginia
stands at the world's bar on trial; round
her victims stand the apostles and martyrs
all who have said “ God is God,,' and
trampled wicked laws under their feet.—
He said : “ My lathers have given their
swords to the master ; I givo mine to the
slave.” If God is ever the Lord of Hosts,
“making one man chase a thousand,”
surely that band at Harper's Ferry may
claim him as their captain. Men say,
how coolly brave ! But in him matchlesr
eotfragf* seems the leust of hiB merits.—
How gentietic^ graced it. When tho
frightened town wished (c b«»r oft' the
body of the mayor, a man said, “ 1 will go
under their rifles if you, Misti Fouke, will
stand between them and mo. Ho knew ho
oould trust their gentle respect for woman.
He was right. He went in the thick of the
fight, and boro ofTthe body in safety.—
That same girt flung herself between
Virginia kriffo* and! your young brave
Thompson Hhey had no pity ; the merci
less bullet reached him in spite ol a wo
man's prayers, though the fight had long
been over. Harper's Ferry was the flow-
ering out of a long devoted life. These
his sons and daughter show how wholTy
he lived for his idea, ns each accepts so
serenely his or her part in the movement—
the share of toil and grief. As time pass
es, history will paint that gallows girt by
thousands oi armed men, guarding Vir
ginia Irom her slaves, and over against it
that serene old man stooping to kiss the
negro child. Thank God for our emblem.
May he move Virginia soon to blot out
hers by repentance and hide it with bro
ken fetters.
Wo envy you your nearer place to these
noble martyrs. Slavery will not go down
oy force. Hearts are stronger than swords.
ow sublime that last fortnight. His
words are c,ven stronger than his rifles.
Tlieye crushed a Slate; 1 hose will yet crush
slavery. God gave him better than a sol
dier’s place—that of teacher. The echoes
ol his rifto have died away among the hflie
his words millions treasure. God bless
this roof—make it bless us. Wo dare not
say “bless vou children of this home,” for
you stand nearer to one whoso lips God
touched, and y/e bend lor your blessing.
God make us worthier of him whom we
lay among these hills. Hero he girded
himself with more of success than ho ever
dreamed,God gave him. He sleeps in the
blessings ol the &lave. Men believe more
in virtue since he has lived. Standing
hero, let us thank God for a firmer faith
and fuller hope.
The coffin was then lowered into the
grave amidst deep silence. Just as it
reached the bottom of the pit, and as the
fitst shovel of earth grated harshly on the
ear, the Rev. Mr. Young lifted up bis
voice, end exclaimed, I have fought the
good light; 1 have finished my courso;
henceforth there is laid up for mo a crown
of righteousness, which the Lord, the
righteous Judge, will give me at the last
day.” The work of filling in the grave
having been performed, .Mrs. Brown and
her relatives slowly wended their way bock
to the house, but the greet bulk of the
crowd remained idly gazing bn the mound
for an hour or so after all was over.
Fliomt of Jews from Morocco.—Wo
have heretofore stated that, owing to the
threatened war between Spain and Mo
rocco, the Jews resident In the latter
country arc flying to Gibraltar and seeking
the protection of the British flag, to avoid
a repetition of the brutal, outragesJo which
they wpre expb^ed id 1£44, wjicn the wild
Kabyle tribe camn down to the coqat and
committed the moat barbarous acts of mur
der and.plunder. At last accounts nearly
3,000 Jews had arrived at Gibrslter from
Tangier, and u waa probable that they
would be followed by meny . thousand
others from othor parts of Morocco. Most
of the fugitives are in destitute circum
stances, being obliged, in thoir sudden
flight, to leave behind them whatever little
property they posseted. Very many of
the sufferers, including young women and
children, could find no resting place upon
reaching Gibraltar, but the bare ground.
An appeal hafr H therefore, been mode in
their behalf to their co-religionists in Eng-
land and the United States, and to the be
nevolent of all persuasions. In New York
city the Rev. S. M. Isaacs, of 694 Houston
street, has undertaken to reccivo dona
tions.

Abolition Sneers at Commertoial Non*
Intercourse.
Tho Roaton Journal says»—‘-Ii seems to
be a difficult matter lor the South-rners lo
carry out their whim of non-iniercoiirsn
with the North. Gov. Wiao recently ox-
pended $26 000 in Hartford buying Shdr?’e
rides and revolvers to arm tho warriors ol
the Old Dominion; and now the Rockville
(Conn.) Republican says lhat the Ameri
can Mill., in that village, have an order
from iho South lor cloth for ihe uniform
of a military company down there, which
i. .cared up, probably, by the John Brown
affair. If our Southern Irienda are ao
enamored of British manufacture, aa they
profeea to be, why do they not send to
Manchester, England, for their cloth ; or
why not buy u British uniform outright, us
their sympathies run that way.
Tho New York Express reminds the
Boston Journal that the fifteen slave
Stutes consent to the protection of from
twenty-live to thirty per cent, for New
England, New York, New Jersey end
Pennsylvania manufactures, whereas, if
the f4onh forces disunion on the South,
tho products ol England will be brought
here duty Iroc. and the tariff be levied on
Northern production., tjtill, says the
Richmond Despatch, we admit the diflicul-
ty of accomplishing the non-interoourse;
but it is not moro difficult than similar
obstacles which our fslhers overcame in
tho Revolution. Lemur volunteer com
panies resolve to wear citizens’ cloths*
rslbor than subject themselves to any
more such taunts as those of the Boston
Journal. As to the purchase ol arms by
Gov. Wise in Hartford, to shoot abolition-
ieis, wo are quite willing to purchase.abo
lition gun* i» kill abolitionism with, until
we can manufacture the seme article, for
ourtelvca. Disagreeable as is the neces
sity of our purchasing weapons, it is at all
events not aa disgracelul aa their selling
ihem ior the purpose of killing their own
relative* and friends!
