embarked in the Dry Goods business. They
Shave purchased the stock.of Messrs. Evans
& Horne, and have engaged in' business at the
storeroom recently occupied by them. Mr.
H. P. Vaughan is well known as a business
man, and of course his oid friends and custo
mers will call and see him—we mean the stock

Military Companies.—The attempted in
surrection at Harper’s Ferry seems to have
| quickened the military pulse throughout the
J slavoholding States, and we observe in almost
# every direction that military companies are
being organized, and necessary efforts made to
sustain them. This is altogether correct.
Although not one slave joined Brown and
‘S ms confederates—still, a well regulated
f; system of military preparation would prevent
f" such characters from even attempting again
their nefarious system of murder and revolu
tion. The people of the South should prepare
| themselves to meet such emergencies. Arms,
I accoutrements, &c., are doubtless in posses
|" sion of Gov. Conway, andean be obtained by
1 lawful and proper application. Shall we or
! ganize an efficient Volunteer Company at Des
Arc?
Heartrending and Fatal Accident.
On Sunday last a promising little son of Col.
L. S. Poe, aged near six years, at West Point.
White county, while at the residence of his
brother-in-law, by some means obtained a
pistol from the mantle-piece, with which he
li shot himself. The ball entered near the cor
i nerothis mouth, ranging upward, breaking
the skull, but did not pass out. The poor lit
is tie follow must liave died instantly. A ser
t vant girl was in the room when he entered,
but she hid passed out to attend to dinner.
Most deeply do wc sympathise with his pa
: rents in their sad bereavent. “There is a
r divinity that shapes our end, rough hew them
j how we may.”
Acquitted.—Our townsman, Col. W.
Wair, who shot Moses H. Kerr, Esq., on the
-1th of June, 1858, in Des Arc, seriously in
juring him, was tried upon a charge of assaull
with intent to kill, during the recent term oi
our Circuit Court, at Brownsville, and acquit
ted. The proof was that the Colonel, anc
other members of his family, had been threat
ened with extermination by Kerr, as well a:
other threats of violence. The jury returnei
a verdict of “Not Guilty” in less than fivi
minutes from the time they received the chargi
of the court.

EXECUTION OF BROWN—THE MILI
TARY OUT IN FORCE.
Harter’s Ferry, Dec. 9.—Brown was hung
at a quarter past eleven o’clock. The militaiy
! as*einbled at nine o’clock and were posted on
I the road leading to the place of execution, and
| also at various points as laid down in the
| general orders. Everything was conducted
. under the strictest military discipline, as if
! the town was in a stage of siege. Mounted
I scouts were stationed in the wood to the left i
! of the scaffold, and picket guards stationed
out toward the Shenandoah mountains in the
rear. The military on the field formed two
hollowed squares. Within the inner one was
the scaffold, and between the inner and the
outer lines the citizens were admitted, no one
being allowed outside of the lines save the
mounted guards. At eleven o’clock the pri
soner was brought out of jail, accompanied by
Sheriff Campbell and assistants, and Capt.
Avis, the jailor. A small wagon, Brown
taking his seat on his coffin. Six companies
infantry and riflemen, one company of horse,
the General and his staff, numbering twenty
five officers, headed the procession, and moved
toward the place of execution. He was ac
companied by no minister, he desiring no re
ligious services, either at the jail or the scaf
fold. He looked around on the people with
full self possession, and mounted the scaffold
with a firm step. His arms were pinioned by
the sheriff. He then bid farewell to Capt.
Avis and Sheriff Campbell, and at half-past
eleven the trap of the scaffold was pulled
away, and, with a few slight struggles, John
Brown yielded up his spirit. The body was
placed in the coffin, and is now on the way to
Harper’s Ferry under strict military escort, to
be delivered to his wife.
INCIDENTS CONNECTED WITH JOHN BROWN.
A short time before the execution, Brown
visited the ceils of the other prisoners. He
told the two negroes (Copeland and Green) to
stand up like men and not betray their friends,
then handed to each a quarter of a dollar, say
ing that he had no more use for money, and
bid them good-by. They made no remark, ex
cept to return his salution. He next visited
the cell in which Cook and Coppie were con
fined, chained together. To Cook he said,
“You have made false statements.”
Cook replied—“What do you mean?”
Brown—“Why, by saying that I sent you
to Harper’s Ferry.”
Cook—“Did you not tell me in Pittsburgh
to come to Harper’s Ferry and see if Forbes
had made disclosures?”
Brown—“No, sir. You know that I pro
tested against your coming.”
Cook closed the conversation by replying.
“Captain Brown, we remember differently,”
at the same time dropping his head.
Brown then turned to Coppie and said:
“Coppie. you also have made false state
ments, but I am glad to hearyou have contra
dicted them. Stand up like a man.”
He then handed Coppie a quarter, shook
him and Cook by the hand and left the cell.
He then returned to Stevens’ cell and spoke
kindly to him.
cowl. -Ivr ronfitin I Irnnw
you are going to a better land.”
Brown—“Yes, I know I am.” He then
counselled Stevens to firmness, warned him
against betraying his friends, and closed by
presenting him with a quarter.
He did not visit Haslett’s cell, having al
ways persisted in denying any knowledge of
him.
On his way to the scaffold, Mr. Sadler, the
undertaker, who was in the wagon with him,
remarked—
“Captain Brown, you are a game man.”
Brown—“Yes I was so trained np. It was
one of the first lessons of my mother. But it
is hard to part from friends, even when newly
made.” Brown continued the conversation by
remarking on the beauty of the country, which
he said “he never had the pleasure of seeing
before.” On reaching the gallows field he
said—“Why are none but the military allow
ed within tho enclosure. I am sorry the citi
zens have been kept out.” Observing Mr.
Hunter and Mayor Green standing by, he said
to them, “Gentlemen, good-by,” his voice not
faltering in the least.
Whilst on the scaffold Sheviff Campbell ask
ed him if he would take a hankerchief in his
hand and drop it as a signal when he was
ready. Brown replied, “No, I do notwantit.
But do not detain me longer than is actually
necessary.” \
DEPASTURE OP MRS BROWN.
The interview between Captain Brown and
his wife lasted from four o’clock in the after
noon until near eight o’clock in the evening,
when Gen. Talliat'erro informed them that the
period allowed them had elapsed, and that she
must prepare for her departure to the Ferry.
The carriage was again brought up to the door,
and the military took possession of the
square, and with an escort of twenty mount
ed men, the cortege moved off, Capt. Moore,
the Montgomery Guards, accompanying her.
The interview was, I learn, not a very affect
ing one, but rather of a practical character
with regard to the future of herself and chil
dren, and the arrangement and settlement of
business affairs. They seamed considerablyjaf
fected when they first met, and Mrs. Brown
was ror a tew moments quiieuvcjtumc,uui,uc
was as firm as a rock, and she soon recovered
her composure. There was an impression that
the prisoner might possibly be furnished with
a weapon or with strychnine, by his wife, and
before the interview her person was searched
by the wife of the jailor, and a strict watch
kept over them during the time they were to
gether. At the time of their separation they
both seemed to be fully self-possessed, and the
parting, especially on his part, exhibited a
composure, either feigned or real, that Was
truly surprising.
Airs. Brown resented the idea that Captain
Brown had done anything to deserve death oi
to taint his name with dishonor by the igno
minious character of the punishment that was
l about to be inflicted upon him. She regarded
■ him as a martyr in a righteous cause, and was
proud to be the wife of such a man,—that the
gallows had no terrors to her or to him. She
' stated that she had not seen him since last
June, about six mouths ago, and that they had
| been' separated, with the exception of a few
I days, for nearly two years. They had, how
ever, corresponded, and she alw ays felt a deer
interest in me cause in which he was engaged
The prisoner said that he contemplated hi!
; death w'ith composure and calmness. Itwouh
1 undoubtedly be pleasant to live longer, but a:
it was the will of God he should close his ca
reer, he was content. It Was undoubtedly bes
t that he should thus be legally murdered foi
> the good of the cause, and he Was prepared t(
i submit to His will without a murmur. Airs
Brown becoming depressed at these remarks
" he bid her cheer up, and told her that his bod;
would soon be with her, and-that they wouk
1 be united again in Heaven.
With regard to his execution, he said he de
y sired no religious ceremonies either in the jai
e or on the scaffold, from ministers who consen
s or approve of the enslavement of their fellow
e creatures—that he would prefer to be accoui
panied on the scaffold by a dozen slave cliil
3 dren and a good old slave mother, with thei
appeal to God for blessings on his soul, tha
t all the eloquence of the whole clergy of th
n Commonwealth combined.
' During the past week several letters cor
d taining checks and drafts had been forwarde
ls to him by his friends in different sections (
the country. These he all endorsed, and oi
dered payable to his wife, Alary A. Browi
one of them for $100, and another for $50, an
^ handed them to her.
THE REMAINS OF BROWN.
Harper’s Ferry, 10 p. m.— The remains (
J. Brown arrived here in a special train at
I o’clock, and will be- taken on by Mrs. Brow.
; I and her friends by express, direct to Alban;

! lie demonstration, and it is determined thi
i the body shall not be visible anywhere on tl
>s route to North Elba, New York, whore he wi
ls be interred in the family burying-ground.
Mrs. Brown acknowledges very warmly tl
courtesy and kind treatment extended to h
le by the citizens and authorities of Virgini
rd She is, of course, in great distress, but has f
1(j vorably impressed those who have come in co
tact with her, as a woman of fine feeling, ai
le having great affection for her husband.
