A. H. GALE Sc CO., June SO Wly lei Knot 12th St., New York. TO VICTOR II I CiO. Sir , —Your letter to the London Star has found its way into the American Press, for which it was doubtless intend ed. If ardent enthusiasm could win jus tice from her strict course, yours might have had some effect upon the destiny of John Brown. But all the eloquence of genius cannot take the blackness from treason, or the crimson stain from mur der. It requires something more than an outburst of fine poetry to turn crime into patriotism—something more than impetuous denunciations to check the solemn footsteps of justice. Before this time you Mill have learn ed that Virginia has vindicated the maj esty of her laws; and that John Brown ; and his unhappy confederates have pass- i ed to a higher tribunal for judgment.— j You will learn, al>o, that out of nearly thirty millions of people, spreading over a great continent, there is but a handful of men and women who have received the news of this execution with disap proval. North and South, the great body of our people acquiesce in the fate of John Brown, as an ineveritable neces sity-u solemn obligation to the laws.— Like you, we may feel compassion, for the man who wasbrave even in hiscrimes; but he was a great criminal and so per ished. God have mercy on his soul! The impulses of humanity which prompted your letter meet with sympa thy from every true heart. But no out burst of compassion, no denunciation from abroad, is likely to influence a people who have learned to govern their passions while they protect their rights, j When, in the ardor of your fancy, | Washington stood before you—immortal ( with heavenly greatness —your intellect j should have gone a step farther, and in formed itself more coircctly regarding the Consitution, to establish which ho | gave the best years of a glorious life.— You would have learned that each State of this Union is sovereign in itself—in | its laws and in its power to punish crimes committed on its soil. To establish the distinct sovereignty of these States and link them in otie beau tiful confederation, concessions were made and obligations of forbearance were j entered upon to which the sacred honor of our Revolutionary Fathers were pledged—not for them-elves alone, but for their children and children’s children, i These obligations make slavery with us ‘ a forbidden subject. Washington himself was born in a slaveholding State—lived and died the master of slaves. Neither on the battle 1 field, the floor of Congress, nor in the Presidential chair, did he suggist the possibility of revolt against the solemn compact made in the Constitution. Ilad treason, like that of Old John Brown, broken out in bis time, he wou ! d undoubtedly have done what James Buchanan is doing now. Maintaining his august position as the chief of a great confederation, our President respects the rights of a sovereign State over w hose internal laws he has no authority, and leaves to her Courts the punishment or pa-don of the treason which broke out on her territory. Washington could have donn morn than this, crown him with the halo of poetry as you will. Virginia, a sovereign State, has main tained her authority. John Brown is dead. Proven guilty of treason—con demned for atrocious murders—he has atoned for those crimes on the scaffold. It is impossible for a man to stand upon the verge of eternity, into which he roust he launched by a violent death, without filling every good heart with grief and compassion. But when he is brav > — when his path of blood has been lighted by the lurid torch of fanaticism or insan ity —such minds as yours, afHuant, earns est, and poetical, may be expected to clothe his crimes in white garments, and forgetting the murderer in the brave man, sing ptcans to the martyr of a viv id imagination only. I am of a sex and of a nature to whom these feelings are kindred. I can- ! not think of old John Brown upon the scaffold without a shudder through all ’ mv being. I cannot think of a man made in the image, of the (Jod, suffering an ignoininous death without thrills of pain. But 1 find it impossible to fix my , mind on the scaffold of this old man. It goes back to his victims at T{arper’s Ferry—to the women made widows by the outbreak of a single morning—to the orphans, who had never wronged him, so cruelly bereaved by his crime. I see the two sons who st> blindly followed lead fall martyrs to his rebellious spirit. 1 look beyond all this, far away into the beautiful South, and instead of an old man on the gallows, I see thousands of my own countrymen, gentle, good and lovely, given up a prey to wild in surrection —I see those murderous pikes, 1 manufactured with such cruel forethought piercing their boson.*'—l hear the cries i of children calling for the mothers who : will never answer them again—i see proud, strong men struggling against the brute stremr h of their own household servants. This picture strikes my com passion dumb, and I can only cover my face and pray God to have mercy on the old man’s soul! John Brown was tried, condemned, and executed as a traitor—a guard of American citizens stood around the scaffold, sad at heart, but steady” in their devotion to the laws. The Legislature of a great Commonwealth sat, deliberate ly, after his sentence, and pronounced it just. The Federal Union, in which thir ty millions of souls throb, stood by in solemn silence while the treason of this man was expiated. Out of all these thirty millions of in telligent, educated men, who make their own laws and abide by them, not one hundred thousand can be found to join with you in condemning the execution of John Brown, while every good heart a mong them must sympathize in the pity for his fate, which mingles so eloquently with your denunciations. Some there may he, —ray, certainly are, —who would add bitterness to your words, and wing thorn, like poisoned ar rows, far and wide, if they had the pow er. But these are the vary men and wo men who instigated his crime, who urg ed him on to revolt, ana shrunk away into safe place* when the gloom of his deeds settled around him—men ami wo men who. make money by incendiary books, sermons and lectures, and while they incite crimes which coin gold for themselves, have no courage to meet the danger when it arist s. But thousands and tens of thousands sh ire your pity for the old man—guilty and mad as he j was—while they put your denunciations ’ aside with calm forbearance, feeling how I little knowledge you possess on a sub ject which agitates you so deeply. But if the great mass of my country men join in your pity for the unhappy man, it is rot because they condemn Ids execution or sympathise with his revolt. Probabiv twenty-nine millions and nine hundred thousands of our people look upon this execution as a fail and solemn atonement for crimes in which they have no sympathy. Our country is now di ; vitled into three political parties, none j of which will endorse this rebellion or ’ condemn the course justice has taken.— When you call upon the Federal Union | to interpose its authority against the laws of Virginia, there is not a school boy throughout the land—for to all such our Constitution is a text book— who would not smile at your idea that the General Government has any right to inteifere with the legal acts of an inde pendent Commonwealth, or that the ma jority of a single State would so inter fere, if it had the power. Your picture of John Brown’s trial is a painful one. It must be a hard heart w hich does not swell with compassion as it presents itself. “Upon a wretched pallet, with six half gaping wounds— scarcely conscious of surrounding sounds —bathing his mattress with blood, end with the ghostly presence of his two dead sons forever before him.” Thus you place the unhappy man before the world, forgetting that those ghastly wounds are but the evidence of a more ghastly crime— the fearful witnesses by which his guilt was confirmed. It is. indeed, a terrible picture you have drawn; but the streets of Harper’s Ferry had one more terrible still. There innocent men, all unconscious of danger, were shot down like wild animals.— i There widows, newly bereaved, knelt moaning over their dead, and orphan children cried aloud for (he r parents, that John Brown had so ruthlessly mur dered. This picture you have forgot ten to p'ace side by side with the other; but. we who love ynr countrymen have sympathy for the innocent as well as pity lor the guilty. You complain that his trial was hur ried, that, ihe jury sat only forty min utes, and that all proceedings were in decorously urged forward ; but were they so swift as the i ilit; balls that shot down unarmed men in the streets at Harper’s Furry 1 Were thdy so ruth less as John Brown’s midnight descent upon a sleeping village in Kansas, w here husbands and sons were drained out of thpir beds, and shot down within hear ing of their wives and mothers ? Is this the man whom yon speak of as “pious, austere, animated with the old puritan spirit, inspired by the spirit of the Gos pel;” while you cdl his companions, “sacred martyrs?” This, sir, is the blasphemy of a highly wrought imagination — excuse me f>r saving—not original with you; for wil der and moretrreligious men than 1 trust you are, have gone to greater lengths, and blasphemed more eloquently than this. They have pronounced John Brown’s gallows holier than the cross, and held up his rebellion as a rebuke to the unfinished mission of our Lord the Saviour. “At this moment,” you say, “Ameri ca attracts the attention of the whole world.” Not at this moment only, but ever since the became a free nation this has been a truth. To all the Kingly Gov ernments of Europe she lias always been a contrast and an irritation—a subject for criticism and whenever an opportu nity for blame arose, of denunciation.— It is not strange then that a rebellion in part lostered in Europe should call forth bitter remarks there. “Let the .1 udges of Charlestown and the slaveholding Jurors, and the whole populati m of Virginia ponder on it well —they are w atched—they are not alone in the world.” They have pondered on it well, and I the execution of John Brown has taken I place. If the w hole American Republic were responsible for Ins death, as you j say it is—it would simply be responsible for a most painful duty solemnly per formed; and received wnh mournful re signation even by the most merciful, be’ cause of its imperative necessity. Jus tice demanded the life of this man for he had taken human life—necessity de manded it, for he was the spirit and soul of a treason that threatened the foun dations of our nationality—that would forever have been plotting mora blood j shed so long as he lived on earth. You call the execution of Brown “a j brotherhood of blood”— vou say that “the faces of our splendid Republic will be bound together by the running noose that hangs from his gibbet.” If this is true —if any brotherhoo o blood is connected with this painful event it rests neither with the “whole” Amer ican Republic nor with the State of Vir- I ginia ; but its red track may be found across the foam of the A'antic, linking Exeter Hall with the sensation pulpits on this side the ocean. The weight of John Bown’s blood lies with England and the confederate* of England, who have by their teachings, their money | and crafty sympathy, led the old man on j to death. What bur, this “band ofblood’’ did the people of Ragland expect when j they gathered penny contributions ; throughout the length and breadth of I their land, in order to urge this ii.cendi ! ary spirit forward in America ? Penny contributions —as if Liberty were a Ty rant or a Pauper, to be intimidated or 1 bribed by their infamous copper. What was the contribution intended i for l An insult, or a fund for incendiary u*cs ? It sent to the I nited States for the purpose of inciting insurrection, or in any way opposing our laws, then that | money lias been the price of John Brown’s blood, and was the first strand# , of the halter that hung from his galiows. What did the people of Scotland ex | pectwhen they rent the American flag in twain, and hung it, tattered and quiv ering beneath the indignity, over the head of an American woman, who smi-i ed benignly under the insult and received aims after it was offered'? Out of such acta and such insuits, the halter of John Brown was woven; to such insidious encouragement the old man owes his death. W as there an English man or woman i living, who supposed that a great nation would allow the treason thus Jinstiga , ted on a foreign soil, to ripen in her bo som, and fail to punish it with all the force of her jut laws ? It is the people of England, then, with a very small party in the United States, who are united by this “bond of blood.” It reddens the vestments of our sensation ministers, not the ermine of our judges. The sacramental tables of our political churches are encrimsoned with it, and the places once sacred arc overshadowed by the old man’s crime. In these places when you call John Brown “the cham pion of Christ,” it may be considered meek and holy language; but the great mass of our American people will turn from such impiety with a shudder. “Your letter closes with an appeal to our Republic, calling it the sister of the French Republic. Jlowlittle you know of the great land you compliment and revile in the same breath. Liberty with ns subjects herself to the laws which she has inspired, and he who revolts against those laws sms against her and the whole people whom she protects. She sprang another Minerva from the minds of pa triot statesmen, modestly clad, serene and biauliiu), she presides over our Republic, and has so far protected it from anarchy or oppression. It ts that our Republic may have no sisterhood with those of France that such insurrections as you denominate “a sacred duty” arc met with the whole force of our laws. Were they permit ted to obtain a foothold in the land, our Republic might indeed become sister to those of France, aud peri*h as they did. Had the insurrection at Harper’s Fer ry succeeded, the Scenes of anarchy which left France lying like an unnatur al monster satiated with the blood of her own children, might have been repeated here. But we are not vet prepared to see innocent babes shot down m battal lions, or fair girls compelled to drink blood frothing from a yet warm human heart, in order to redeem their fathers from the hatchet. We are not prepared to see our pastors slaughtered at the foot of their own altars, or hear coarse songs thundering through the solemn arches of our temples. It is to save our country from consanguinity with Republics founded on attrocities like these, that our laws crush rebellion when it first crests itself. Rest, Sir, upon your knees before ihe star spangled banner. While our pul pits are turned into political forums, and their Ministers preach ranine and blood shed, the foot of the flagstaff, is per haps, the most sacred place for devotion that we have to offer you. There, cer tainly, a pure spirit should inspire your prayers. V es, kneel reverently, and plead that the great country protected by its folds may fling off the poison so : insidiously circulated in her bosom by ; foreign nations. The spirits of our im mortal statesmen will be around you when that prayer is uttered ; ard, if you are ft true patriot, one heavenly voice w ill whisper, in tones that must be charg ed if they do not penetrate to the depths of your soul—‘l know no North, no South, no East, no West; nothing but my country!’’ Kneel, kneel, I beseech you, sir, and let this patriotic sentiment be the burden of \otir pravvr. Millions of souls on this side of the Atlantic will swell the breath, as it passes your lip*, into a cloud of sacred incense, which the spirit of Washington, and the mighty ones w ho have joined him, shall waft to the feet of Jeitovaii and grow holier from the work. ANN S. STEPHENS. New York, Dec. 27, 1839. Rainy or Vo Rain. The little parish of Yellowdstlc fanners had long been without a minister. One day, Rev. Mr. Surely visited the village, and was asked to stav over Sunday and preach to them. The people were pleased with his sermons, and some were anxious to have him stop. A meet ing was called to know the mind of the parish. “I don’t see any use in having a minister,” said Sharp, a rich old farmer; “a parson can’t learn me anything ;if wove any money to spare, we better lay it out in something that will bring a fairer return.” The Sabbath loving part of tliv people argued strongly against him. “Well,” answered Sharp, not choosing to show himself convinced, “I’ve heard tell of ministers that could pray for rain, and bring it; if we could hit one of that sort, I’d go in for hiring him.” Mr. Sharp was a man of conse quence, and the younger and less knowing of his neighbors were quite taken with the idea. “That would dc a minister worth having,” tlu-v thought. And after much talk, it was agreed to hire Mr. Surely up on this condition —that ho would give them rain, or fair weather, when they wanted it; for their farms often suffered both from seven droughts and heavy .rains Mr. Surely was immediately waited up on bya committee of the parish, w ho soon came back, bringing the minis ter with them. “1 will accept your terms upon one condition,” said he, “that you must agree upon what sort of weather you win .” ‘This appeared reasonable, and matters were arranged for a year’s stay at Y^llowdale. Weeks passed on, bringing mid summer heats. For three weeks it had not rained, and the young corn was beginning to curl with drought. Now for the promise. “Come,” said Sharp, with one or two others whose hilly’ farms were suffering, “ we net l rain, you remember your promise.” “Certainly,” answered the minister, “call a meeting.” A meeting was called.” “Now, my’ friends, said the pastor, “what is it you want ?” “Rain, rain,” shouted half a dozen voices. “Very well; when will you have it ” “This very night, all night long,” said Sharp, to which several assen ted. “No, no ; not to-night,” cried Mr. Smith, “I've six or seven tons well made hay out ; I would not have it wet for anything. “So, have I,” added Mr. Peck, “no rain to-night ” “Will you take it to-morrow ?” asked the minister. But it would take all to-morrow to get it in. So objection came up for two or three days. “In four days then ?” said Mr. Surely. “Yes,” cried Sharp, “all the hay will be in, and no more be cut till”— “Stop, stop ! ’ eried Mrs. Sharp, polling her husband smartly by the sleeve, “that day we have set to go to Snow-hill, it musn't rain then.” In short, the meeting resulted in just no conclusion at all, for it was found rptitc impossible to agree. “Until you make up your minds,” said the pastor on leaving, “we mu. i all trust in the Lord.” Both Mr. Smith and Mr. Peek got their hay in, but on the day the Sharps were to goto snow hill, it l>e , gan to rain in good earnest. Sharp [ lost bis visit, but his crops gained. And so it happened once or twice again. Tiie year rolled by, and tin people could never all agree upon what kind of weather they wanted. Mr. Surely, of course, had no oeca sion to fulfil his part of the eon tram, and the result was that they began to open their eyes to the fact that this world would he a strange pin ■ if its inhabitants should'gOvern it.—3 •o They saw that nature’s laws could be safely trusted in “hands of na ture's God. At the close of the year the minis ter spoke of leaving. This the peo ple would not listen to. ‘But L can not stay under the old contract, ’ i said he. “No do I want you to,” said Sharp j much humbled ; “only stay and i teach us and our children how to know God and obey his laws.” “And all things above our proper sphere,” added the pastor, “we will leave with God, or ‘He doeth all things well.’ ” The Rig Trees or California. A correspondent of the San Francisco, Cal., Pucijic , of Nov. 3, gives the follow ing interresting account of some of the forest giants found in California: The big tree grove contains about a hundred of these monsters, which have arrived at a good degree of maturity, besides a great number of others of the s.ime species, of all sizes, from the sintll est sapling upward. There are also other kinds of trees interspersed among them. The whole area occupied by the grove is about fifty acres. The land is ; claimed by the owners of the* hole 1 , and great care is now taken to preserve the , trees from the ravages of fire, which heretofore has damaged rmny of them, and from the attacks of human vandals, who, if permitted to do so, would soon 1 destroy the most important of them by ettiling them, aud carrying oil speed’ mens of bark and wood. Sallying out from the hotel to see the wonders of the place, the visitor natu rally first examines the enormous stumps of the trees near the house, which was cut down by sacrilegious hands a few years since. This was the one first seen by Down, the hunter, the original dis coverer of the grove. The slump is now inclosed within canvas walls, the top having been smoothed off like a floor, for dancing purposes, and is sur rounded by a row of seats. Here the Alleghanians once gave a concert to fifty persons, all of whom, with the per formers. occupied the stump at the same time. Go one fourth of July, thirty two persons (four sets) danced a cotillon upon it at once, without inconvenience. 1 stepped off the distance across it and found it to be ten good paces, although the top is about six feet above the ground and the bark has been taken off. The stump is sound to the core. It required no little ingenuity, as well as persevering Jabor, to fell this enor mous denizen of the forest. It could not be accomplished with axes. llow then, think you, it was done ? By bor ing a series of holes completely mound it, from circumference to center, with augers of upwards of fifteen feet in length, made for the purpose. But when the trunk had thus been severed, so NUMBER 40- plumb was the tree that it would not fall. Alter trying in vnui various exped ients to tepph it over/at length a large tree of another species ••nandiug near was felled against it. but stdl it stood. A second resort of this kind finally sue j cetded, and the noble monarch of the ! woods yielded, and bowing his head, fell I prostrate, with a crash that reverberat j td iike a thousand thunders among the* mountains, and shook the solid ground like an earthquake—the huge trunk breaking in several places like a pipe ! stem. Five men were engaged for j twenty-five davs in this infamous work. If their names oouid be ascertained, they ] ought to be inscribed on a pillar near, j enclosed in a black border, and thus be I held up to the execrations of ali the ; visitors to this spot. A portion of the trunk still remains near the stump, and the top of it, as it lies horizontally, reaches abov e the eaves of the house. It is ascended by a flight of steps, twenty-six in number, and nearly perpendicular. A man looks like a pigmy standing beside it. At a little distance, a double bowling-alley has been constructed on another portion of the trunk, which has been cut down flat for the purpose. Leaving the immediate neighborhood of the hotel, the visitor is conducted next through the adjoining grove, by a path that has been so constructed as to take him near to all the remarkable members of the group. This is the “ grand tour. ” The trees have all re ceived more or less fanciful names, which are posted upon them, either inscribed on tin plates or marble tablets. Their height and circumference is also given. I have not space for a particular descrip tion of each tree, and will therefore se lect a few as specimens. “ The Miner’s Cabin” is 300 feet high and eighty feet in qircumferandt, taper ing very gradually, It has an opening in the trunk 40 feet high and 17 feet wide. “ The Three Graces” are beauti ful specimens, ail growing from the same root, very straight and peifect, nearly 300 feet high, and having no limb with in 200 feet of ground. “The Old Bache lor” is a forlorn object, 00 feet in circum ference, and about 300 feet in height, with a very rough bark and a forbidding appearance. “The Hermit” stands alone 320 feet high, remarkably straight and sy metrical, and 75 feet in circumfeieuce. “Hercules” is a most striking object, it is 350 feet iu bight and I ‘>7 in circum ference, or more than 32 lcet through 1 It is the largest, perfect standing Lee in the grove. It has been carefully esti mated that it would make 723,000 feet of lumber, or enough to load a large ship! L leans so that the topis about 40 met out of tlie perpendicular, and hence it should have been called “The Leaning Tower.” What an enormous weighs must be supported by the butt, as the tree stands. It seems to b perfectly sound and vigorous. Besides the.se, there are “ The Hus band and Wife,” standing near together, and affectionately inch mug towards each other ; “1 he Old Maid,” still and j rim, with a cap-like mass of foliage near the top; “Gen. Scott,” “Gen. Jackson,” ‘The Empire State,” “Vermont,” etc., aie all very remarkable. “The Family Group” consists of the farther, mother aud twenty-four children. ‘The father was blown many years ago. The fallen trunk is 110 feet in circumference, and the whole tree must have been 450 feet high. There are 300 feet of the length remaining, and at the point where the body was broken it is 40 feet in circum ference. It is hollow, and might furnish room apparently to quarter a regiment- Visitors made their egress through a hole in the side (except ladies with hoops) and us they emerge they furnish a ludicrous illustration of the way peo ple sometimes “creep out of a knot hole,” or recede from a false position. Half the prostrate trunk is embedded in the earth, and’ there is a never failing pool of water standing in atone point, ted by a living spring. The mother in this group is a stateiy dame, 91 feet in cir cuinference and 327 feet in height. The children are all of age, beyond question, and large enough to speak for themselves . The most melancholy object in tl e grOve is the fallen trunk of a huge tree still standing, from which the bark was stripped a few years ago by some unlucky speculators to be carried to the Atlantic States and Europe for exhibition, but it was a losing venture, a nobody would believe it to be from a single tree. The whole was pronounced a humbug, or Yankee trick, and a large portion of the expense incurred was a dead loss. N > one can pity the unlucky speculator*, v. ho ought to have been hungup on the highest limb of the tree thus barbar ously mutilated. Stagings were erect ed around the trunk, and ihe bark was removed in sections, to the height of 11G feet. The tree is 325 feet h ; gh and 78 in circumference. 1 walked around it nt. the roots, as near a* I could get to the trunk, and found the distance 50 paces ! The bark was in places nearly two feet thick ! 1 will only speak of ouc more, “The Horseback liide.” This is the fallen tiunk of an ojd tree, which is hollow, but with a perfectly sound shell.— Through i his 1 rode on horseback, a dis i tance of 75 feet, without difficulty, and saw others do the same. The horse was or ordinary height, belonging to a visitor. This gives, perhaps, the most impressive | idea of the vast, sjze of these enormous j natural wonders.
