with several aliases. She was arrested a
few days ago at Belleville, N. J., and on
Monday last departed for Tennessee, un
der the care of a member of the New

Old Brown’i Antecedents.
The most authentic statement which
has yet appeared of Brown’s antecedents,
and his purpose in going to Kansas—at
least, the one emanating from his most
devoted friend who has the information
at command—is that written for the Bos
ton Atlas by James Redpath, of Kansas
notoriety, one of Brown’s coadjutors in
the troubles and conflicts in that Terri
tory. The following is an extract from
Redpath’s statement:
For thirty years he secretly cherished
the idea of being the leader of a servile
insurrection; the American Moses, pre
destined by Omnipotence to lead the sor
vile nation in our Southern States to
freedom; if necessary, through the Red
Sea of a civil war, or a fiercer war of
races. It was no “mad idea,” “con
cocted at a fair in Ohio,” but a mighty
purpose, born of religious convictions,
whioh he nourished in his heart for half
a lifetime.
New Orleans Cotton Receipts and
Exporta.
The receipts of cotton at New Orleans,
from the 28th ult. to tho 2d inst., com
prise 43,581 bales against 36,110 during
the corresponding period last year. Os
these, 30,171 were exported to foreign
ports, and 3,164 coastwise, leaving on
hand a stock of 276,727 bales against
214,210 bales same time last year. The
receipts proper since the Ist of Septem
ber to the 2d inst. were 103,120 bales
more during the same time last year, and
the net increase at all the porta to the
same date is 113,513 bales (763,416
against 649,933.)
Milledgeville Dailies.
The Federal Union and Southern Re
corder have both issued several numbers
of their Dailies, which will be continued
during the session of the Legislature.
They present a very neat appearance,
and contain, and will continue to pub
lish, full reports of the proceedings of
the Legislature. Full reports every day
will be very convenient to exchanges,
and the public generally.
CHattanooga Markets.
The produce market on the 3d instant
was dull, the demand from the Southern
market not having as yet come up, and
besides the money market is stringent.
Wheat was quotable at from 90c. to $1 —
little doing; Shoulders 9c. ; ‘Clear Sides
12c. Packed and delivered in depot at
these figures. Stocks were very light
and transactions limited.
Col. W. O. Winston.
We learn from the Chattanooga Adver
tiser, that Col. W. O. Winston, of Ala
bama, President of the Mills Valley Rail
Road, will shortly remove to and become
a permanent resident of that town.
The Early County News states that on
the 25th ult., eleven hands on the planta
tion of J. B. Ransone, picked over thirty
five acres of the poorest land in cultiva
tion, and obtained 3,600 pounds of good
clean cotton.
Mr. I. C. Morgan, an old citizen of
New Orleans, and founder of the Literary
Depot in the old Merchants’ Exchange in
that city, died recently at Great Barring
ton, Massachusetts.
All Saints’ Day.
All Saints’, one of the most beautiful
and imposing holidays of the Catholic
Church, and which is taken occasion of
by almost all creeds, and classes in New
Orleans, to remember the dead so touch
ingly, was celebrated as usual yesterday.
The weather was cool but pleasant. From
early morning until night settled upon
the earth, the cities of the dead were the
resort of thousands of visitors and citi
zens. Many a scene of sorrow actually
felt by mourners by loved tombs, might
be seen in the aisles of the cemeteries;
many a simple tribute to dear ones gone
was there more eloquent than sculptured
and ornately decorated mausoleum, many
of which might be seen beside lowly
graves; and many a scene too, half of
levity and half of the serious decorum,
irresistibly impressed by the place, could
be witnessed along those thronged tene
ments of the dead. But the pathetic and
the sublime predominated, and doubtless
all who went yesterday to visit the cities
of the dead, whether from motives of
true sympathy with deceased relatives or
friends, or from curiosity, left with feel
ings purer and truer than before they
went.—AT. O. Bulletin.
‘A Daughter of Evt Beguiling Ser
pents.
At the Erie county, N. Y., fair, there
was a young girl, sixteen years of age,
who had with her a box of snakes, com
prehending several rattlesnakes, copper
heads, California racers and others, all
of the most venomous character. These
snakes she handled in the roost fearless
manner, winding them about her neck,
waist and arms.
Gold Fish.
These beautiful fish, which were first
brought to our*country from China, and
once kept in glass vasses as objects of
curiosity, have now become quite numer
ous in several of our rivers. In the Po
tomac, large shoals of them may be seen
sporting in the silvery waters, and they
are quite common in some of the creeks
which feed the Hudson river.
In cutting up a large elephant’s tusk
in Cincinnati, last week, a bullet was
found imbedded in the ivory. From in

task for some thirty years.
GOVERNOR’S MESBAGE.
The following is a synopsis of the Mes
sage of Gov. Brown to the two Houses of
the Legislature:
He recommends the discouragement of
hasty and inconsiderate legislation, and
expresses determination to withhold bis
official approval from all such bills as
were passed in the hurry and confusion
which precede an adjournment, together
with all that have not been plainly and
correctly enrolled, and signed by the
proper officers. He condemns the local
and class legislation, which benefits a few
individuals at the expense of the public,
and intimates his intention to stick to his
prerogative in exercising the veto power,
whenever his judgment approves it.
new counties.
There are now 132 counties in the
State, a considerable number of which
pays less into the State Treasury than it
draws therefrom for the payment of its
members. He recommends that no new
Act be passed for the formation of anew
county until the Legislature is satisfied
that the State tax to be paid by it shall
be sufficient to reimburse the State for
the expense incurred by the State on ac
count of its formation, and that each
county from which territory may be
taken to form the new one will be left
with the like ability.
REDUCTION OF THE LEGISLATURE.
Another reason for the objection to the
formation of new counties is, that it in
creases the number of Senators and Rep
resentatives. The Legislature is recom
mended to the consideration of a change
in the Constitution, so as to reduce the
number of Senators and Representatives.
Thirty-three members in the Senate, be
ing one to every four counties, and one
hundred and fifty-two Representatives,
being two to each of twenty counties
having the highest representative popu
lation and one to each of the remaining
counties, would reduce the Legislature
from three hundred and one to one hun
dred and eighty-five, beiDg a reduction
of one hundred and sixteen. Should the
sessions of the Legislature last but forty
days, a total of $31,436 would be saved
to the State by the proposed reduction,
and if the sessions be longer, a much
larger sum would of course be saved.
The Legislature, as organized at present,
costs the State about $2,520 per diem.
The Legislature is recommended to call a
convention of the people to consider this
matter and other alterations in the Con
stitution. Should a reduction of the
Legislature be made, the expense saved
to the State thereby would pay the ex
pense of the Convention.
A LAW REGULATINQ PAY OF CLERKS, PER
DIEM OF MEMBERS. AC.
The item of Clerk hire has been exor
bitant, and has frequently resulted from
the practice of employing supernumera
ries by the Secretaries of each House. A
law is recommended fixing the pay of
each Clerk at $4 per day, and that of the
Enrolling Clerks at $5 per day. Also a
law fixing the compensation of the Secre
taries of each House at $lO per day,
without further appropriation, and that
of the per diem of the members of the
Legislature. This would prevent em
barrassment in considering the bill ap
propriating money for supporting the
Government, as any proposed change
could be considered on its individual
merits in a separate bill.
AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION.
At the last session a law was passed by
the Legislature authorizing a change in
the Constitution so as to secure a change
of venue in criminal cases. The bill not
being properly authenticated by the sig
nature of the President cf the Senate,
the law requires it to be passed by two
successive Legislatures, each by a two
thirds majority, before it shall become a
part of the Constitution, and as a diver
sity of opinion as to this requirement
prevailed among the legal profession, the
Governor published the bill as required
by the Constitution. He deems the pro
posed change an important one.
AMENDMENT OF THE PENAL CODE.
The attention of the Legislature is di
rected to the case of a defendant con
victed of a crime punished by death or
imprisonment in the Penitentiary, carried
to the Supreme Court and affirmed. To
avoid the delay in such cases, it is sug
gested that the law be so changed as to
authorize the Judge of the Supreme Court
to pronounce the sentence in vacation at
Chambers, on motion of the Solicitor
General. A change is also recommended
so as to enable the Defendants against
whom indictments are found, to demand
a trial at the term at which they are
fouud, and a statement of the case read
in open Court by the Solicitor General,
or at the first or second term thereafter,
or at the third term if the Solicitor fails
to read the statement of the case in open
Court at the term when the bill is found,
or to notify the Defendant or his counsel
that the bill has been found true by the
Grand Jury. A change is recommended
so as to compel Defendants in criminal
cases to come to trial by the second term
of the Court after the bill of indictment
is found, unless further time, for Provi
dential cause, be given by the Court.
TARDONING POWER.
As to the pardoning power, and re
spiting criminals after conviction, he has
exercised both very rarely and oautious
ly, and believes the Constitution invests
the Governor with a sound discretion in
referring causes to the consideration of
the Legislature.
PENITENTIARY, AC.
The repairs and re-construction of
the Penitentiary, are progressing under
the direction of Gen. Eli McConnell, the
keeper. An additional appropriation of
$25,000 is recommended for their further
completion.
WESTERN AND ATLANTIC RAIL ROAD.
The amount paid into the State Treas
ury from this lload the past year, was
$420,000, which amount has exceeded
his expectations. Since the Ist of Janu
ary, 1858, the old irou on about twenty
five miles of the track has been taken up
and supplied with heavy new rail. The
Road-bed and superstructure are kept in
excellent order. No new debts are
contracted which are not paid monthly,
if demanded. The conduct and manage
ment of the Superintendent and subordi
nates, are highly commended. As near
as can be ascertained, the original cost of
the Road amounts to $4,441,532 15.
Large amounts of its gross income since
its completion, have been charged by
some to construction. These sums were
more properly chargeable to repairs, &c.,
as in the case of fte Etowah bridge,
burned down last year, which bad to be
rebuilt. The original construction ac
count was at an end as soon as the Leg
islature had appropriated a sufficient
sum to place upon jit the superstructure,
machinery, &c., necessary for business ;
all after expenditures are properly
chargeable to the account for keeping up
the Road. Estimating the original cost
of the Road at $4,441,532 15, it has paid
into the State Treasury nearly nine and
a-half per cent, on the investment. It
was built at a time when building Rail
Roads was not so well understood, and
at a cost much greater than would have
been expended even at lhat time By a
private company. Had the same econo
my been used, as could have been used
by a private Company, the original cost
would probably not have exceeded
$3,000,000. The sum paid into the
Treasury the last year is fourteen per cent,
upon that sum. It is due to the pres
ent officers of the Road to compare its
management, and to count the per cent,
upon such sum as it would have reason
ably cost, bad it been constructed by a
Company, instead of upon such a sum as
it may have co9t under the present ex
travagant system, sometimes practiced
in the original construction of public
works.
GEORGIA MILITARY INSTITUTE.
It is regretted that this Institution is
not as prosperous as anticipated by its
friends, and is ascribed to defective legis
lation regulating its government. The
Legislature is recommended to appropri
ate $2,500 to pay the salary annually of
Maj. W. F. Capers, the Superintendent,
until the income of the Institute shall be
sufficient to defray its own expenses. The
Legislature is also recommended to ap
propriate a sum to pay the salary of Rev.
J. W. Baker, assistant Professor, as well
as to pass other acts securing an efficient
government for the Institute.
MILITARY SYSTEM —VOLUNTEER CORPS.
The Governor recommends the encour
agement of a military spirit, and the or
ganization of volunteer corps, and to this
end proposes the suspension of all laws
requiring the performance of military
service other than that performed by
volunteer corps, except in case of invasion
or insurrection, and that a commutation
tax be assessed and collected from each
person 21 years of age and upwards who
is subject to military duty, and not a
member of a volunteer corps. As soon
as a sufficient sum is raised from this
source, to apply it in erecting a foundry
for manufacturing arms and other muni
tions of war. This would make the State
independent in case of emergency.
CODIFICATION OF THE LAWS.
To prevent a failure of the Commission
appointed by the last Legislature, for
codifying the laws, the Governor ap
pointed T. R. R. Cobb and R. 11. Clarke,
Esqs., to fill the vacancies occasioned by
the resignation of the Hon. 11. V. John
son and Iverson H. Harris, Esq. The
Legislature is recommended to extend
the time within which the codification is
to be completed to two years, instead of
twenty months, and a compensation of
$3,000 per annum to each Commissioner,
while engaged in the work, and also the
allowance of a salary to B. B. DeGraffen
reid, the Clerk to the Commission. The
Governor also recommends an appropria
tion to pay the $12,000 remaining due
on the State’s subscription to Cobb’s
Statutes and Forms.
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
One hundred and thirteen counties
have been supplied with the standards of
weights and measures, on the Governor’s
being informed of the deficiencies in
those counties. Since then, such other
counties as have reported a destitution of
them have been supplied, and 27 sets
of the same standards have been depos
ited in the State Arsenal, subject to a
future direction of the Legislature.
CENSUS, LIBRARY, AND MINERALOGICAL
AND GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS.
The State Census has been taken this
year, in accordance with the act of the
last Legislature, aud the septennial ap
portionment of representatives will have
to be made among the respective counties
according to population.
A recommendation is made to appro
priate SIO,OOO or other necessary sum,
to build a fire-proof brick building, to be
used as a State Library.
The recommendation is renewed to
make provision for a Mineralogical aud
Geological survey of the State.
BOUNDARY LINE BETWEEN GEORGIA AND
ALABAMA.
The Legislature of Florida has agreed
to the propositions contained in the joint
resolutions of the last Legislature, rela
tive to the settlement of the boundary
line dispute between the States. Survey
ors have been appointed by the Executive
of each State to re-survey the terminal
points, and the passage of an Act is re
commended to defray the expenses of
Prof. Orr, Surveyor on the part of Geor
gia.
ATLANTIC AND GULF RAIL ROAD
The Board of Directors having certi
fied as the law directs, that the private
stockholders have paid in their install
ments due of their subscriptions, the
Governor has in each case issued $50,000
of the State’s bonds as the statute di
rects, and delivered them to the Company
at par as the State’s installments due
upon her stock. $50,000 more of the
bonds have been prepared, which are
ready for delivery, the fifth installment of
the $60,000 having been paid by the pri
vate stockholders.
STATE AID.
The Legislature is recommended to pass
a general law establishing a uniform sys
tem of State aid to Bail Roads. The
State should not endorse the bonds of
Rail Road Companies until after the com
pletion of a certain portion of the Road,
and then for a sum sufficient to purchase
the iron to complete the rest as fast as
the Companies shall have graded the
Road and laid the timbers and super
structure ready for the iron. To secure
the State against loss on this account, it
ia proposed that she take and retain a
mortgage or statutory lien upon the en
tire Road, as well as the part completed
before her liability was incurred, with
all the fixtures, superstructure, rolling
stock, franchises, and appurtenances of
every character, with the power to sell
the same after ninety days’ advertisement
whenever the companies fail to meet and
promptly pay any installment of interest
or principal due on said bonds. The de
ficiency remaining of the State’s liability
after the sale of the Road, to be divided
among the solvent stockholders in pro
portion to the shares owned by each, and
execution be issued by the Comptroller
under an order from the Governor, to be
j levied and collected in the county in
I which the defendent resides, or in any
county in which he may have property.
The policy of the State’s taking stock in
; Rail Roads is opposed. It is the Gov
ernor’s opinion that she should have no
| interest in property over which she has
not the entire control.
BANKS AND BANKING.
The Governor favors the reformation
of the banking system, and the enact
ment of such laws as will prevent the
suspension of specie payments, and
check the banks from reckless nnd ex
travagant speculation. In case of the
first happening, a change in the law of
1857 is recommended, so as to give the
plaintiff in any case, the principal and
interest upon each note, with twenty-five
per cent, damages, the interes* to be com- 1
puted from the time of refusal to pay the !
note and specie wheu presented, and 1
judgment be given at first term of the
Court. Io case of suspension, to give
the Grand Jury of the county, wheie the
baDk is located, power to find bills of in
dictment against the President and Di
rectors, the suspension to be deolared
conclusive evidence of fraud, nnd pun
ished by confinement and hard labor in
the penitentiary, not less than five nor
more than ten years.
EDUCATION.
The educational system of the State is
reviewed at considerable length and the
Legislature urged to revise and amend it.
Among other changes, the most impor
tant 19 the recommendation to create the
office of Superintendent of Education for
the State. School statistics have been
received from 102 counties, aud it ap
pears by these returns that 84 of the 102
have levied and collected a county tax to
be added to the school fund of the county.
Clark and Effingham have levied fifty per
cent upon the State tax for school purpo
ses. This is the highest per cent in any
county. Meriwether assessed 5 per cent
on the State tax, which is the lowest per
cent levied by any one of the counties.
The aggregate amount raised by the 84
counties for school purposes is $64,997.
As many of the counties refused to
levy an additional tax, a change is recom
mended in the law authorizing the Gover
nor to withhold from each county in the
State its proportion of the fund from the
State, until its proper authorities shall
have levied and collected a tax of at least
25 per cent upon the State tax, to be
added to the amount it receives from the
State for educational purposes. This
done in each county, it would nmount to
SIOO,OOO, which added to the $200,000
distributed from the Treasury, would in
crease the educational fund for the next
year to $300,000, which sum would be still
further increased annually by the inter
est on the bonds to be issued upon the
payment of the public debt. This $300,-
000 annually would be equivalent to six
per cent, upon a fund of of $5,000,000.

lature convened in the Hall of the House

Incendiarism.
The Cuthbert Reporter says an attempt
was made on Thursday night, the 20th
ult., to destroy the town by fire. An
armful of fat pine, saturated with oil,
was put under the edge of the house oc
cupied by S. W. Waxelbaum & Bros, and
set on fire, and but for its timely discove
ry muny of the business houses of the
town would have been inevitably reduced
to ashes. Another fire occurred on
Wednesday Dight about one o’clock, in
the unfinished residence of F. D. Bailey,
Esq. The out houses were saved from
being consumed by the exertions of the
citizens. This fire is supposed to have
been caused by the carelessness of some
of the negro workmeu.

For the Sun.
Barbour Circuit Court.
Eds. Sun: As this is the third find last
week of our Court, perhaps it will be a
piece of news to your readers to learn
something of the trial of the Iloustons,
charged with the murder of James Orr.
The Court has consumed four days in
the trial of this case, commencing Mon
day morning and continuing until about
12 o'clock Thursday uight. From the
beginning, the counsel for the defense,
ex-Chief Justice Rice and Edward C.
Bullock, Esq., have fought the case with
that determined zeal peculiar to their
characters. On the other hand, the pros
ecuting counsel, Messrs. Buford and Seals,
Cato and Baker, and the Attorney Gene
ral, M. Baldwin, have prosecuted them
with that ingenuity and ability, for
which they are distinguished, proving
numerous and repeated threats, malice
and sufficient circumstantial evidence, to
warrant the Grand Jury of this county in
finding a “ True Bill” against them. It
was in evidence (but ruled out by the
Court) that John B. Houston weut to a
“ Fortune Teller” to know certain facts,
and among others, an ominous one, (as
the witness testified) that weighed heavily
upon his mind, and wanted to know it he
would come off victorious. It was also
in evidence he bad said that the deceased
would not live through the year, and
further, that Edward Houston asked a
witness, a short time before the murder,
“If a man was shot down, would they
not have to prove it?” All the facts and
circumstances go to show that they were
guilty of the murder, although twelve
good men of Barbour county have said,
by their verdict, that they were not. It
is a remarkable case—being wholly con
stituted of circumstances and threats,
which show that there were co conspira
tors with the slave Matt, who has al
ready suffered for the same offense. As
the law will not allow a man to be tried
for the same offense twice —whatever evi
dence may, in future, reveal itself in re
lation to this midnight assassination, will
be of no use to the injured party.
We have read of the ancient Greeks
and Romans consulting their oracles be
fore going to battle, rapine and murder,
but it is anew dot in this age of civiliza
tion to consult the oracle about being vic
torious in a midnight, assassination. The
oracle was correct in telling him (John
B. Houston) that he (oracle) “saw noth
ing to hinder it.” For after the victory
! of murdering his enemy, be, with Ed
j ward, his father, and Washington, his
; brother, have been acquitted by twelve
i men of Barbour county. Prophesy ful
i fitted!
I Reasonable doubts are very ingenious
connivances of the law, at villiany. What
scoundrels are there but what revel in
the idea of getting acquitted on a reas
onable doubt ? A nice little word which
our ancestors placed upon their statutes,
without any idea that under its cloak
murderers would shelter themselves;
robbers carry out their diabolical deeds,
and every trangressor of the law fly to it
as a subterfuge.
I impugn not the Jury that set on this
case, for the law. as given in charge by
the Court, justified their verdict, but
rather think, if I were they, I would have
an “ eternal drip ” of conscience.

Claytod, Nov. 4. COKE, Jit.
Coolness of a Burglar.
About 2 o'clock yesterday morning,
says the Louisville Courier of the 25th,
Mr. A. Frentz, the jeweler, who rooms in
the rear of his store on Market street,
was aroused by a noise in his room. The
jeweler rubbed his eyes as a fellow is
apt to do, and peering through darkness
saw a man searching in his pantnlooDS
pockets. Frentz asked the fellow what
he was doing. “None of your business,”
quoth the burglar. Mr. Frentz then told
bir: to leave or he would blow his brains
out. To which the burglar replied, “I’ll
bed and if it won’t be the last man’s
brains you blow out.” The owner of the
store insisted upon his leaving, but the
rascal demanded, with much coolness,
that he should light him out the front
way, remarking, “I don’t intend tetake
the trouble to crawl out the Jback way.”
But he did, when Frentz commenced
calling for the watch. Mr. F. did not
attempt to take hold of the fellow, think
ing, perhaps, he might catch a tartar.
Absence of Mind.
A countryman drove his ox-cart up
before one of our stores, the other morn
ing. After unloosing his oxen from the
cart-tongue, he walked in and brought
out sundry goods he had purchased, and
put them in the cart. Seeing that all the
packages were properly adjusted, he
walked around, took up the lines and
drove off; and actually guided the steers
several hundred yards with nothing but
the yoke on, before he discovered that
the cart was left behind. What is more
strange than all, the man was cool sober
at the time. He looked rather cheap
when he came back “geeiug” his bovine
team round the corners, amidst the shouts
of laughter which broke from the crowd
that had witnessed his strange perform
ance.—Eufaula Express.
A Fight with Pirates.
A fearful story is told of a fight with
pirates on board the ship Aararat, be
tween Singapore and Bombay. There
were 75 pirates on board manacled, but
one night, in a storm, when the vessel
was rolling badly, they got loose, armed
themselves *ith marlinspikes, blocks and
holystones, and attacked the Captain and
crew. They stabbed the sentry to the
heart. After an hour’s hard fighting the
pirates were driven to the top gallant
forecastle, and there charged with the
bayonet, and killed, or forced over the
bows. When lights were procured, and
the loss on the side of the pirates was
ascertained, out of sixty who bad come
on deck, twenty-eight were dead or mis
sing. Some were wounded besides.

Death Sentence passed on Brown—
His Speech to the Court.
Charlestown, Nov. 2.—This morning
Brown was brought into court, to hear
his sentence. The clerk now asked the
prisoner j/he had anything to say why
sentence should i ol be pronounced against
him. , ~ . ,
Brown stood up, and in a clear, distinct
voice, said : “ I have, may it please the
court, a few words to say. In the first
place, I deny everything but what I have
all along admitted, of a design on my
part to free the slaves. I intended cer
tainly to have made a clean thing of that
matter, as I did last winter when I went
into Missouri and there took slaves with
out the snapping of a gun on either side,
moved them through the country and
finallv left them in Canada. I designed
to have done the same thing on a larger
scale. That was all I intended. 1 never
did intend murder, or treason, or the des
truction of property, or to incite slaves
to rebellion or to make insurrection.
“ I have another objection, and that is
it is unjust that I should sutler such a
penalty. Had I interfered in the manner
which 1 admit, and which I admit has
been fairly proved—(for I admire the
truthfulness and candor of the greater
portion of the witnesses who testified in
this case) —had 1 so interfered in be
half of the rich and powerful, the intel
ligent. the so-called great, or in behalf of
any of their friends, cither father or
mother, brother or sister, wife or chil
dren, or any of that class, and suffered
aud sacrificed what I have in this inter
ference, it would have been all right, and
every man in this court would have
deemed it au act worthy of reward rather
than punishment.
“ Tips court acknowledges, too, as I
suppose, the validity of the law ot God.
I see a book kissed here which I suppose
to be the Bible, or at least the New Tes
tament. That teaches me that all things
‘whalsoever I would men should do to
me I should do even so to them. It
teaches me, further, to ‘remember them
that are in bonds as bound with them.
I endeavored to act up to these instruc
tions. I say lam yet too young to un
derstand that God is any respecter of
persons. 1 believe that to have interfered
as I have done, and as I have always
freely admitted I have done, in behalf of
His despised poor, was no wrong, but
right.
“Now, if it is deemed necessary that I
should forfeit my life for the furtherance
of the ends of justice, and miugle my
blood further with the blood of my chil
dren, aud with the blood of millions in
this slave country, whose rights are dis
regarded by wicked, cruel and unjust
enactments, I submit. So let it. be done !
Let me say one word further. I feel
entirely satisfied with the treatment I
have received on my trial. Considering
all the circumstances, it lias been more
generous than I expected ; but I teel no
consciousness of guilt. I have stated
from the first what was my intention, and
what was not.
“I never had any design against the
life of any person, nor any disposition to
commit treasou, or excite the slaves to
rebel, or make any general insurrection.
I never encouraged any man to do so,
but always discouraged any idea of that
kind. Let me say, also, in regard to the
statement made by some of those connect
ed with me. I fear it has been stated by
some of them that I Lave induced them
to join me. But the contrary is true. I
do not say this to injure them, but as re
gretting their weakness. There is not
one of them but joined me of bis own ac
cord, and the greater part at their own
expense. A number of them I never saw,
and never had a word of conversation
with till the day they came to me, and
that was for the purpose I have stated.
Now I have done!”
While Brown was speaking perfect
quiet prevailed When be had finished
the court pioceeded to pronounce sen
tence.
After some preliminary remarks, in
which the judge said that no reasonable
doubt could exist as to the prisoner’s
guilt, the court sentenced him “to be hung
in public on Friday, December 2d.”
Brown received the sentence with com
posure, and the only demonstration made
was a clapping of hands by one man in
the crowd, who is not a resident of Jef
ferson county. This indecorum was
’ promptly suppressed, and much regret
| was expressed by citizens at its cccur
’ rence.
After being out an hour, the jury came
j in with a verdict that Coppee was guilty
ion all the counts in the indictment. His
j counsel immediately gave notice of a mo
! tion for an arrest of judument, as in
| Brown’s case. The court then adjourned.
Hissing an Actor by Steam.
} A few nights ago Mr. B. G. Rogers, the
comedian at the theater, was very much
annoyed by a sibilant sound, which salu
; ted the tympana of his ears whenever he
j made his appearance upon the stage. It
seemed to proceed from the parquette,
aud was regarded by Mr. R. as an utter
! ance of disapprobation directed against
| himself. He was unconscious of having
given cause of offense, and complained to
Mr. Phillips, the stage manager, of the
supposed expression of censure. Mr. P.
came forward to the footlights and ad
dressed the audience. He desired to
know what offense Mr. R. had committed
to provoke the hisses of any one among
the audience. A gentleman in the par
quette suggested that the hissing pro
ceeded from a locomotive standing on the
rail road track, in front of the theater,
and was caused by the escape of 6team
from the boiler. The correctness of this
explanation at once occurred to Mr.
Phillips, and he retired with all the
| grace he could, amid the laughter of the
! audience. Mr. Rogers is perhaps the
only actor, living or dead, wbo has been
hissed from the stage by steam. This is
a great country! —Richmond Whig.

Speaking of rare coins of the United

says, the first copper money coined in
America was made by a Dr. Higley, in
Granby, Conn., and that as high as sl4
has been paid for one of them! The fol
lowing coins are very rare, and have
brought the prices attached to their re
spective dates:
Dollar of 1794 §7 25

A Duelist of the Old School.
A late letter from Paris contains the
following account of a noticeable death,
in that city:
Among the deaths in Paris to be record
ed without being deplored is that of the
once renowned duelist Choquart, who
died in the hackney coach which was
; conveying him to the Hospital St. Louis.
No one knew whence he came, or who
j were his ancestors, but it was generally
supposed that he must have belonged to
, one of the great families of emigres, who
{fled at the time of the revolution; for
immediately after the restoraticn he was
admitted amongst the pages of the Tuile*
ries, through the protection of the Duch
ess de Berri. At the revolution of 1830,
! he was in the Gardes du Corps, and at
j the dispersion of that body took tolitera-
I ture as the only resource to obtain a liv
ing. Although the greatest duelist of
! modern times, Choquart confessed him
self as singularly unfortunate in bis
speculations of this nature, lor out of
thirty duels he fought during his life he
was worsted uine and twenty times, and
only once succeeded in wounding bis au
versary. Numerous are the anecdotes,
most of them laughable, which are told
of his belligerent humor. Ont day, being
at the Case des Milies Colonnes, he per
ceived his opposite neighbor busy in the
perusal of the Constitutibnnel, a paper to
which he always most strongly objected.
“ Monsieur,” said he, bending across
the table, and speaking in a voice trem
bling with rage. “ When you had done
wih° the Charivari.” “It is the Con
stitutionnel, Monsieur,” replied the read
er, without looking up. Choquart pre
tended not to have beard, and renewed
the question, “Monsieur, when you
have done with the Charivari.” “But,
sapristi, Monsieur, it is the Constitution
nel, I tell you.” Again did Choquart
renew the question, until at length he
bawled out, unable longer to contain his
fury, and tearing the paper from the
hand of the astonished stranger, said,
“ So, you make me out a liar. I say
Charivari, and you answer the Constitu
tionnel. If I tell a lie, we had better
fight it out at once.” This time, fighting
with pistols, Choquart got hit on the
knee, from which he suffered a weakness
until the day of his death, and although
constantly reminded of his imprudence by
his lameness, and Laving been likewise
soused beneath a pump for fifteen succes
sive morning, by a peaceful, sensible in
dividual, who refused to fight, and treat
; ed him in this manner every time he
presented himself before him to call him
out, yet he has gone to the grave covered
with the scars acquired in this kind of
warfare.

Opelika and Clilldersburg Kail
Road.
We have been shown a private letter
from Mr. R. J. Slangbter, president of
the above Road, in which he speaks in
the most encouraging terms of its pios
pects. Mr. Slaughter had just left the
surveying party who have found the route
far better than they anticipated—quite
straight and little lost by curvatures. It
is estimated that the grading will cost
less than $6,000 per mile. Great inter
est has been manifested in the matter,
by the people along the line, which is
much enhanced by|the practical nature
of the enterprise demonstrated by the
survey. The right of way has generally
been given free of charge, and all classes
seem determined to aid the enterprise to
the extent of their ability. About $200,-
000 are already subscribed, and in addi
tion to this, Mr. Slaughter represents,
that there are between $150,000 and
$200,000 arranged by companies to grade
and take the greater portion of it in
stock.
The surveyors have subsequently reach
ed Childersburg, and fully sustain the en
couraging representations made by Mr.
Slaughter. The opening of this road
either to Childersburg or to Talladega,
will penetrate a region of country, aboun
ding in mineral wealth of untold resour
ces and value, and will prove of incalcu
lable advantage to Georgia, and the
Southern cities of the Atlantic.— Tallade

j Ia in now supplying the trade with pure Cognac
Brandy, in bottles, both for medical and private
| use. The immense success that has crowned my
I efforts to place a pure Gin within the reach of all,
j under the name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps,
i and to drive oat of the market the pernicious com
’ pounds sold ns Gin throughout the country, led
many leading druggists, apothecaries aDd medical
men, tor some years past, to solicit me to pursue
the same course in regard to the article of Brandy.
I should have complied with these requests from
all quarters long ago, but was deterred from it by
the fact, that owing to the exhorbitaut prices of
Brandy in France, consiqueut upon the shortness
of the grape crop for some years, there was no
chance of my being able to inport the choicest
Brandy, bottle it and sell it at moderate prices.
Fortunately for me, the grape crop for the last and
previous year (and the prospect for this) was
abundant, and prices of Brandy have fallen to
the standard oi ten years ago. The duty on Brandy
is also seventy per cent lower, and I have now
made arrangements with four Brandy exporters
in Franco, of the highest repute, aud am regularly
receiving consignments of the best Cognac Brandy,
which I am bottling and selling as Wolfe’s Genu
ine Cognac Brandy. I guarantee, with my seal,
labels and certificates, the Brandy so bottled by
me, as the pure, unadulterated article, and it will
be found, when used as a medicine, a beverage, or
a cordial, healthful aud invigorating. It has been
a matter of universal complaint, that a bottle of
pure, unmixed French Brandy, was very difficult
to obtain, and the purchaser, nine times in ten,
was deceived with a vile manufactured imitation.
Os all descriptions of ardent spirits, Brandy, from
its high price, has been the one article that mixers
and sellers have turned their attention to, and
millious of gallons of the so-called French Brandy
have been scattered annually through the land,
and have been the primary cause of murders, sui
cides, cruelties and crimes, aud have seDt thou
sands to au early grave, self-destroyers, from de
lirium tremens, mania-s-potu and horrors, mimes
unknown, until unprincipled men began to make
maddening compounds and sell it as the pure
I French Brandy.
The virtures of pure French Brafi’y need not
be told by me. They are known throughout the
world as a medicine or mild stimulant. It is, a*
the French nation poetically call it ‘ Fau de la
vie,” the water of life. But this applies to it only
when pure and nnadulterated. Manufactured with
the fearful ingredients that make agood imitation,
it becomes a death drink to innocent ten6of thou
sands of our race. To remedy a fearful evil, I
have commenced importing Brandy, bottling it,
and selling it as “Wolfe’s Genuine Cognac Bran
