These men were the radical abolitionists of the time, to lie sure, but their words and seati- men's were adopted during the war period by the entire North, and since then largely by the civilized world. tut to the average citizen of to day such extra vagant eulogy of a doubtful character is distasteful. The mention of the name of John Brown no longer brings down the house, ami for two or three years the spirit of doubt has been slowly spreading eastward from Kansas whether the man deserves any eu logy whatever. John Brown was a disturi.ing influence in Kansas from the first, lie went to the ter ritory not a- a settler, but to fight. 1 lis voice was alu'ays for war, and he probably was more anxious to light Missouri than to make Kansas flee. Those who had gone to Kan sas to make homes and build a state naturally felt differently. They would fight, it it became necessary, in support of their principles, or in defense of their rights; hut a gen eral war with Missouri or the south was last or least among the things desired or hoped for. It will be remembered that the first Territorial Legislature was was elected fraudulently by voters who actually lived in Missouri.This body of law-maktrs assembled first at Pawnee, in July. 1S55, but ininic- diatclv moved to Shawnee Mission, near "the Missouri bonier, where they completed their labors in a pro- slaverv atmosphere and in life most pro-slavery fashion—establishing the entile" code of Missouri as the laws of Kansas and adding what ever besides they could think of that they believed would aid in the establishment of slavery in the ter riton .

As for our choice Goodloe Yancey orW. B. Burnett would lie our selection, as we know them to lie men of ability, and by no means fence riders. The farmers are put to a great inconvenience by the cotton buyers not having money to pay for their cotton when they carry it to town.

Lee, who presides with so much dignity over the superior court of the High Shoals district, he has consented to make the race for the legislature at the solicition of many friends. We met the new candidate this morn ing in a more profitable business than politice—that of leading a thoroughbred Jersey bull over the neighborhood. Hon. F. P. Griffeth, of Oconee, was in the city yesterday. He says the reason that be did not recog nize the temperance petition sent him was that it would abolish bar rooms in the country and still keep them in Watkinsville; tb it had the petition been for total prohibition lie would have acted -ithcrw.se. Mr. Griflctli says lie has not decided whether to offer or not. Dr. Richardson, of Watkinsville, has moved to Atlanta. Dr. R. is a good physician and a gentleman, and we hope that he may do well in the Gate City, lie has a host of friends hothin Athens and Oconee county that will recommend him for anything he nrav ask.

It is said that they were cheered on their departure by the rifle company’, which is not unlikely, as the nature of their expedition was not known. John Brown, Jr., however, said: “Father, be careful; do nothing rash.’.’ Townsley had in his wagon only the Brown family, including the son-in-law, Thompson. There was another man in the company, whose name was Winer, who rode a pony. Whether he had volun teered and agreed to obey or not we do not know. It is not probable that any of the men at that time knew exactly what they were going to do. It was the Brown family obeying their father, as in duty- bound, with a teamster in their em ploy and a neighbor joined to the expedition, probably because it was going toward his hqm e - When they camped that night they were near the 1‘otawatomie creek, and here old John Brown re vealed his plans for the “war.” He asked Townsley to guide them up the creek some four or five miles, into the neighborhood where he lived, and show them the houses of all the pro-slavery men, say ing that it was his intention to sweep the creek as he came down of all the pro-slavery men living on it. Town sley refused to become even the guide of any such expedition. On account of this refusal the party- stayed in camp all that night and the" next day, talking the matter over. It seemed to Townsley, and probably also to some of the other young men, that this sort of killing was murder. Old John Brown urged that it was necessary as a war measure; it was time for the war to begin in earnest; war there must be to abolish slavery; God had fore ordained him to begin it. Once a decisive blow was struck the fatal peace policy inaugurated at Law rence would be at an end. and the Fr i -State men would lie obliged to unite and fight Missouri. The end of the matter was. that late on Saturday evening Townsley yield ed, either to force or argument, and acted as guide upon an expedition much less extensive than had been originally planned, but sufficient, surely, to cover the name of John Brown with infamy forever. The first victims of this murderous foray were found in a family named Doyle, residing on Mosquito creek, which empties in the 1‘otawatomie. Here Townsley. Winer and Freder ick Brown remained outside the house, while the captain and the rest of his family entered ami brought out James P. Doyle ami his two sons, Drury and William. These “prisoners” were taken along the road toward “Dutch Henry’s” for about 200 yards. Here the captain gave the order for their slaughter, but it was cither misunderstood or disobeyed. Old John Brown then himself drew his pistol and shot the father. James Doyle, in the forehead. Watson and Oliver Brown then fell upon the younger Doyle, and Wil liam fell dead at the first cut of one of those murderous heavy sabres. Drury Doyle started to run to the house, but was overtaken by his as sailants and cut down. There was a younger brother of the Doyles, then sixteen years of age, in the house, whose life was spared at his mother’s tearful entreaty. From this place the ‘'Northern Army.” as the commander styled the little hand, proceeded down the creek to the house of Allan Wilkin son, which was entered in the same manner and by the same men. Mrs. Wilkinson was at the time sick with the measles. When the men rapped at the door she begged her husband not to open it. The men outside asked him to come out and show them the way to Dutch Hen ry's. He replied that he coultl tell them just as well without opening the door. The Brown's then com manded him to surrender in the name of the “Northern Army,” and to open the door or they would break it open. The door was open ed, and four men entered and searched the house for arms, taking a gun and a powder flask. They then told Mr. Wilkinson to put tin his clothes and go with them. He protested, saying that his wife was sick and that he would remain at home and be ready to answer to any charge against him whenever want ed. Mrs. Wilkinson entreated, blit the captain said: “It matters not,” and marched her husband away, without even giving him time to put on his boots. Ire was killed about 150 yards from his house by the younger Browns acting under the captain’s orders. At about 2 o'clock in the morning the party reached Dutch Henry's crossing, and knocked at the door of a house where were four men sleeping, a woman and children. The names of the men were James Harris, William Sherman, Jerome Glanvilte, andjohn Whiteman. The “Northern Army” announced itself as usual, commanded surrender, in quired about pro-slave ry men. about arms, saddles, horses, and whether the men present had ver aided pro slavery men in comii g to the Terri tory, or done the Free-State party any harm, or intende ! to do it any harm. Satisfactory answers were received from Ilatris and White- man. and they were allowed to re- While these events were taking main where they were found. Wil liam Sherman w s killed in the I same manner as the younger Doyle State party, but they received in cantli- flue time the approval and sanction of President Pierce. Then it be came a very serious question what was to be done. A few extremists were in favor of resisting these laws to tlu- hitter end. even to the point of fighting United States troops. But the wiser, and more moderate poliev of submitting, for the pres ent. and fighting out difl'erences at the ballt^-box,finally prevailed, hav ing all along had the support of the best citizens, even the most earnest Aboiitionists. John Brown was among those who scouted the vot ing pclicy and urged an armed re sistance to the fraudulently enacted laws. Not that his voice was heard in the councils of the time, as he was then an unknown and unno ticed m in. but it was afterward re- membe-etl that lie bad always been nunib.ietl among the revolutionists. The leaders of this fighting party, *o far as it can be called a party, were not citizens generally, but cor respondents of eastern newspapers, and people who. in various ways, lived upon money sent from the East to help make Kansas a free state. On the 21 st of May, 1856. occur red wli.at is known in history as the sacking of Lawrence. The Free State hotel was shot through with cannon balls and afterwards burned. The two Free State printing offices were destroyed, many private houses pillaged, and that of Dr. R. Robinson, then "Governor” accord ing to Topeka, or Free-State fac tion. burned. This was done by a band of nearly eight hundred men, partly United States troops com manded by Federal officers, but largely a mob of men from nearly all the southern states, who had conic on their own account to “wipe out the abolition town.” There was no resistance, ami nobody kill ed except by accident. A peace poliev was resolved upon and was strictly carrietl out by the Free- State men. though it cost them heavily that day. o'tained, many miles in the hot sun until he became insane. Hi« father used to show the‘chain in the East on his money-raising excursions, and showed great emotion in nar- rating John Junior's sufferings and consequent insanity. He may well have shown* emotion. That son suffered for his father's crime, which at that very time he was hiding and denying. The effect of these murders was very great upon the community and on the fortunes of Kansas; but it was not at all what the commander of the “Northern Army” antici pated. He expected to precipitate a revolution, but instead of this, the Abolitionists of 1-awrence, even al most unanimously denounced the deed- Public resolutions were passed concerning the matter, la menting it as most unfortunate. The Missourians, however, came on, in flamed with righteous wrath, hunt ing old John Brown and his boys, ready to shoot them at sight. Fred erick they ditl snoot thus, and they burned the cabins of all the Browns and all their kin, drove away their stock, and took vengeance upon them in whatever way they could. Brown’s resistance, and how he fought at Black Jack, are well known. It is not generally under stood' however, that all this fighting at Osawatomie and Black Jack grew out of the Potawatomie assas sinations. The impression was really made in the East at the time, and has prevailed since, that the 1’otawatomie affair was in retalia tion for these abuses anti outrages committed upon the Browns by the border ruffians. * * * The effect of this crime upon the charac ter and cureer of old John Brown was pel vasive, decisive, overwhelm ing. After that night he knew that his life^was forfeited; and he fought, and begged, and planned with a desperateness born of his danger. lie could not live in Kansas, he could not live safely or peacefully any where. He must fight on the end now. The Rubicon was passed. He cut off his long beaid, probably ’as a disguise, anil sought help in New England, reciting the woes of his family, but concealing their cause. His desperare earnestness won the con fidence of some of New England's greatest and noblest men. Had they known fuUv what he had done or even what he intended they would not have armed and helped him as they ditl. * * * The real hero of Black Jacks was Captain Shore. Ossawatomic was not a victory, but a detcat of the Free State party, and no particular bravery was shown by anybody. Old’ John Brown ran away in time tosave his life, which was well enough; only there is a popular impression that he did great things at the battle of Ossawatomie.” That fight, the pil lage and the burning, were in con sequences of his his crimes, and censure rather than praise. At the time of Brown’s execution it) Yir- ginia. which was called in Boston his public murder while the deluded Abolitionists were exalting to the skies a man they did not know, a Free State paper, the Herald of Freedom, of Lawrence, was print ing the plaid, unvarnished truth about him, ami begging the Repub licans of America not to make a he- of him. * » » u; s real ob iect from the fatal night on the Po- tawatomic till his death was to pro voke the South and to commit the North to violence and bring on war. He did not do it; and dispassionate ly weighed for 'twenty years, the verdict of thoughtful men must be that influence in bring on war that afterwards came was infinestimal. The war was brought on by north ern votes and southern succession. The war sentiment caught up the name of Brown and glorified it, but the mail himself was all wrong in principle and practice. His principles were those of the Russian Nihilist—first make a clean sweep of the present civilization, and let the future built! what it can. Surely such a man is not the proper hero for the youth of our country to worship, and we believe that as hi s true history, too long concealed, becomes known admiration for him will tie changed to disgust, and dis gust to anger, that we have been so long deceived.

On the morning of the 22d old John Brown was with these armed men near Palmyra, within twelve miles of Lawrence. It is not quite certain lietlicr he started with one of the companies, or whether he met them on the way. On this Tnursday morning they heard that Lawrence ad fallen on the day licfore, and were undecided whether to go for- ard cr return. It was toward the evening of this day, in the camp of his son’s company on Ottaw a creek, that old John Brown called for vol unteers “to begin the war in earn est.” lie wanted only brave men, and men who would obey him im plicitly. There was hardly any re sponse to this call, perhaps not a single man answered. He had five sons present and a son-in-law; these, at least, he could command. John, Jr., however, protested against the movement, saying that the men could not lie spared, as they were then near the enemy. Then the other four-sons, Owen Brown, Wat son Brown.

Too much over-culture and inter A OnuHlfsUWs Story. BY HENRY SAXTON. About sixty year* ago I was In Paris (or the first time In my life. Bonaparte still lingered at St. Helena; and the ad venturers, good, bad, anti Indifferent in character, who had served in Ills armies hail not yet lost all hope of the return of their idol, and consequently had not yet thought It worth while to settle down into thorough peace and quietness. Young Paul Ferraod, whom I fre quently met at tlie cafe, ami who had Served as a captain at Waterloo, was sure that the Little Corporal would come back again soon. “You have not yet lieateu him,” lie would tell me laughing. “You sent him to Kllia, but he returned; you have sent him to St. Helena, anil he will return again. Ferrand was an exceedingly nice fel low ; and although he professed to cher ish an unquenchable hatred tor Knglatnl and everything English, he hail, liy soinu reason or other, become attached to Alice liae, a young English lady of m.v ac quaintance, anti who had been living with her mother since the conclusion of peace at Paris, not far trout the abode of the ex-captain. And lie was always very friendly with nie un. lie would, it is true, abuse iny country men most unmercifully; but he was always partic ularly good-naturcly; and wnenever lie found himself saying a little too much, he would arrest "himself ami iqtologize so heartily, that 1 never coultl Is* angry with him. I was alone in the French capital, anil hail few friends there except Sirs. Kae, her daughter Alice, and Paul; and so ii happened that I passed a good deal of mv time ill the society of these three. The mother, a woman still in the prime of life, was aconncctionof mine by mar riage, ami that fact gave me it good ex cuse for oU'ering my service aaescort whenever she and her pretty daughter thought tit to go to the theatre or the opera. At such times Paul always had a seat in the stalls; ami between tin. acts he would come up ;o my box, to the delight of Alice who was in love with him, and to the no small satisfaction of Mrs. ltac, who herself had quite a mater nal affection for the young Frenchman, anil ditl nut in the least discourage his attentions to her daughter. If there were no formal engagement between the two, it was at least jierfet'tly understood by all parties that as stsm us Paul should get an appointment, for which at the time he was a candidate, he was to maj- ry Alice; and I,though only a few years her senior, was to give her away. One night the oln-ra house was crowd ed more than usual. A great singer was to ajqieur, ami a new work by a renown ed eotn|ioser was to be performed. But Paul Ft-rraml, sitting in tlie stall, seem ed scarcely to listen to the music or to notice the"acting; anti much more often were bis eyes turned in the direction of my box than in that of the stage. Alice and her mother were with me; anti as the curtain fell at the conclusion of the tlrst act, Paul came up to ns.

They break fasted there and remained ill camp till nearly noon. As the early light of that Sunday morning. May 25. 1S56. came over the new land, so "lately a wilderness, showing here and there at wide intervals a cabin with a little field of planted ground, it revealed five ghastly corpses lying in the grass.

And ti t same morning light found the ste n commander of the army of sevt n in camp with his men and prisoner. As he lifts his hand to heaven to ask a blessing on the food the “dried” blood is seen upon them by the prisoner. The prisoner was set at liberty during the morning, but he was a little too free in what he said about the Browns and was shot not long afterwards near Black Jack, while on his way to Kansas in a wagon. The community was at first start led and shocked by the reports of these midnight murders. Old John Brown and his company of seven arrived at the camp they had left on Ottawa creek about midnight be tween Sunday and Monday after the assassinations. The news was known there the next morning, and John Brown, Jr., immediately re signed his command of the rifle company, mounted his hone and rode away home.

The course of the storm was from southwest to northeast, commencing one and a miles sohthwest of Melburn. The swath cut through the county fifteen miles inlength.

At the distance of eight and ten miles the flashes ol electricity were so incessant and the commotion of wind and thunder, and possibly falling timber, as to almost paralyze one with terror.

We no-fence men con sider this a victory, as it will prac tically decide the issue in our favor. The Ordinary has already issued his proclamation declaring that fences must he abolished next spring, and thev can never get a jury in the county to try the case. I learn however, that the counsel for the fence side refuses to go further with the case unless he is paid a larger fee, and I think they are about tired of thus spending money on a for lorn hope. I believe that the mat ter will now rest where it is, and the case be abandoned. Our side made a proposition to postpone the enforcement of the stock law until January, 1885, which I hope will be Accepted, as it is a fair compromise.” “But wil! that be legal?” we asked. “I do not think it will, but it can be done hy a mutual understanding among the land-owners to keep up fences untilthat time.
