The John Brown Raidi Bis Capture, Trial, Execution and Comments.

BY TILDEN GARNETT BAYLOR, Charles Town, Jefferson County, W. Va. The most complete history of the momentus John Brown Raid and attendant incidents that we have ever seen has been prepared our fellow townsman Mr. Tilden Garnet Baylor. It is gotten up with a view to either its publication in book form or use in the lecture field, and in whichever way it may be brought before the public it cannot fail to prove exceedingly interesting, both to the older and younger generations.

In his "introduction Mr. Baylor says "When, on the 17th of October, 1859, the intelligence was flashed throughout this broad land that an insurrection had occurred at Harper's Ferry, it produced great consternation, and shook the fabric of many of the States from centre to circumference and hastened on the greatest civil war recorded in the annals of modern embers of which were lighted in the Missouri Compromise and kept burning until the great conflict of 1861 broke out, in which many of the flower of the youth of the North and the South went down in the forefront of battle, in the cause of slavery." John Brown's idea of government is first given by Mr. Baylor in the constitution framed for his provisional government. He then gives an account of the Brown raid, beginning with Brown's advent into this section, and his settlement on the Kennedy farm, in Maryland, above Harper's Ferry, under the assumed name of Smith. The tragic scenes of that eventful period are recited, and the details given with an accuracy that shows the most thorough labor and Statements of prominent participants and others, taken at the time of the raid, are given, as also the full official report of Col.

Robt. W. Baylor, commanding Virginia troops, to Gov. Henry A. Wise, together with full details of the trials, as gathered from the court records and other sources.

In his conclusion the authur says: "Times have changcd and the scenes with them." The Brown Raid is almost forgotten, the Civil war a dead issue, the enmity between the North and South about wiped out, and the "waste places have been made to blossom as the rose." The past thirty years have seen such progress as no country of modern history records. To-day, the railroads, the great arteries of the in 1S59, tended only a few hundred miles into the "wilds of the so reached out that they connect the waters of the stormy Atlantic with those of the placid Pacific; and what then was a month's journey is now a pleasant one of a few days. As with the railroads, so it is with all the great enterprises of the country. Our country is forging ahead, and new scenes are being enacted every day, of which the most farsiglitcd thirty years ago never dreamed. Harper's Ferry is now a thriving town has become a delightful summer resort for the residents of Baltimore and Washington, who seek rest and quiet from their toils.

Its citizens are no longer awakened by the bugle call to by the martial tread of the "countless thousands" of 1S61 to 1S65. The Armory is no more, the Brown Fort has been removed from its original location to the Murphy farm in one mile distant from Harper's Ferry. During the Chicago Exposition, (1S95,) the Brown Fori was taken down, carried to Chicago anc: erected in one of the prominent squares but the venture proved a failure, simply because there was nothing which coulcl connect the Brown Fort" with Chicago. It had lost its identity. So after a yeai or two it was brought to its present resting place, through the exertions of the late Miss Kate Field.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have constructed a double track railroad and a fine depot where the old hotel and "Fort" there has been erected 011 the site of the Brown Fort" a simple stone shaft, and on it is the inscription, "The John Brown mark the spot where twentytwo fanatical men, who, in the cause ol liberating four million slaves, were killed or captured. Charles Town, which thirty-eight years ago had about fifteen hun dred inhabitants, is now a thriving town of thirty-five hundred. The Court-House, in which John Brown and his followers (seven in number) were tried, lias beer remodeled, the jail in which they were incarcerated torn down and rebuilt; and on the site ot the "execution is erected a fine mansion, the residence of Colonel John Thomas Gibson, who was Colonel of the 55th Regiment Virginia Militia at that time, (1S59,) and who was an active participant in the capture of John Brown and his followers. Most of those in the county of Jefferson, who active participants in the Brown Raid, trial and execution, have passed beyond the "Vale of'Tears." A few of the participants in these stirring scenes are still living in the county, and those whom I can now recall, are: Colonel John Thomas Gibson, Colonel of the 55th Regiment Virginia capitalist; W. W.

B. Gallaher. Lieutenant "Jefferson editor "Free Press;" Colonel H. B. Davenport, Lieut.

"Jeflferson Guards," landholder; George W. Boyer, one of John Brown's farmer: Dr. J. D. active participant; Lewis Starry, who drove Brown to the place of undertaker; Dr.

Gerard F. physician Tlios. Allstadt, who was a prisoner with his father in the "Engine farmer; and R. B. Washington, a farmer.

There may be a few others in the county whom I would like to mention, and would, if I could, recall their names. Most of this brave and faithful little band of heroes I have reached the sunset of their lives, and it cannot, at farthest, be many years until death will call them to the ows of the Great Unknown." Mr. Baylor is a son of Col. Robt. W.

I Baylor, herein mentioned as commanding Virginia troops at Harper's Ferry, and from whose well-preserved papers he got much of his information, and is well qualified for the work he has undertaken, as is shown by the careful and complete manner in which he has taken up and formulated it, producing a work of history at once impartial and eminently worthy of perusal and preservation. Mr. Baylor has in his possession (received from his father) John Brown's sworil, captured at the time of the raid, and afterwards given to Col. Baylor InBrown himself. Charles Town Boys In New York.

Annual Heunion and Banquet. The ninth annual reunion of the Charles Town Society was held at the Arena, Broadway and 31st, New York, Saturday night, the occasion being a quet given by the President of the Society, Mr. Charles Broadway Rouss. 1 New York Sunday News says "fThe sons of the picturesque old town in the Shenandoah Valley have come to New York in such numbers as to makean impression on the metropolis. Some of the most famous of them were present at the banquet last night.

Rouss the handsome oil painting prepared by Mr. C. W. Taylor of this place were as follows: When I look around this festal board and see so many trie ndly and familiar faces of young men of old Charles Town my heart warms, and there comes bubbling up the desire that these happy reunions might be more frequent. My mission here to-night is to discharge a duty imposed upon me by the Independent Steam Fire Company of Charles Town, the dear old town we love so well.

It is incumbent upon me.as the representative of the Indedendent Steam fire (and a pleasant duty I esteem it) to express to you, Mr. Charles Broadway Rouss, the high regard in which yon are held, and the gratitude which is felt and the thanks due you by our Company for the very many favors and benefits you, have bestowed upon us as a Company. To allude to your many would occupy the whole evening, and I have but time to allude only to the one in which you so generously and magnanimously aided and assisted in the erection of the company's handsome buil dinknown as Charles Broadway Rouss Memorial Hall, which cost $11,000, with only a small indebtedness unpaid. Had it not been for your great assistance in of our extremity, we could not have accomplished our object.

Kt. HEW TOM, M.T. Letter From Rippon. W. Jan.

17, 189S. Dear Mr. few days ago I was in town and say that I was startled at the progress it seems to be making. First, I visited the plant of the Electric Light and found everything moving in an electrical sphere. The handsome structure they were lust completing I think a credit to Charles Town.

Tile linemen wires in all directions, and soon the streets of Charles Town will be lighted np with the beautiful mellow lights like those you see in Washington, D. C. We came back then to the Rouss Building, which will do Justicc to this noble patriot through ccuturies to come. Wa then turn the corner and walk down Main street and find customers so clustered around the doors of the up-to-date stores of Palmbaum, Light, Bishop and Burns Shngert. that it was difficult to get along the street.

We then went to the First National Bank, and found the ever faithful Mr. Samuel Howell and Mr. Tearuey at their posts and everything working like clock work. We met old Bro. Talbott on the street, aud from the way he was cutting his tobacco we were satisfied that everything was going O.

K. We went on to Ed. and found the street badly blocked with furniture, aud if he doescn't make an opening by tlio time wa again, we get old Jake after him. Next we came to the two brick building recently erected by the reliable Mr. Bellcr for our enterprising frieuds, Messrs.

Kcrcheval and Bragg. Mr.Kercheval is of the Advocate staff, and Is a hustler. Next we cross over to our old friend L. D. who has erected a three-story building, 60 large that it lias swallowed the well-known Rink Building, which is now entombed in one of the rooms of the new brick.

Lewis don't make much fuss, but he gets there just the same. Now we. come down to the old reliable Bank of Charles Town, where we found the Col. bpsy at his ppst. Wo were afqiid to attempt to crack a joke with him as he looked like it would not be safe, but the two young fellows, Mayor Washington and Mr.

John, looked as If they would not mind mixing a little fun with business. On desk in the bank is a pen wiper presented to Mayor Washington by a friend at the World's Fair. It is the size of a 4 lb. weight aud is a species of California Cactus. It is a curiosity.

When you go to the bauk examine it. I am off now for the jail corner and expect to see sights as I go up this busy street, but will not have time to describe them this time. By the way, I sec tfim Skimipcrliorn got off some of his smartness in your columns about ine and it made me wish that the editor of the Free Press had gotten him during the rcceut campaign. I would like to say something about the genial lawyers of your town, but will have to defer it until another three weeks' raiu. Your's respectfully, ClIinLIE GjUSSIfOX'PEK.
