McKim? Interesting Letter from Edwin Coppie? John Brown's Last Epistle to His Wife? Eulogy by Wendell Phillipa, The burial of John Brown, which took place at North Elba, Duex county, N. on Thursday, proved an Interesting event. The corpse, It will bo recollected, left this city on Monday morning last en route for tho grave, in charge of Mrs. Brown, the Rev. Mr.

McKim and Wendell Phillips, and arrived at Troy about one o'clock the same afternoon. There a large crowd gathered around tbe coffin, and much sympathy was expressed for the boreared widow. The directors of the railroad gave the party a free pass, and'provided for their at the American House, where the waa the habit of stopping tbe city. The lhe hotel ghowod Mrs. Brown 0f ber deceased husband, had been oilered $6 by a gentleman who ftftnteed to place it in a $10 frame.

It was here, also, tbat Oliver Brown last parted with bis wife previous to his Jaurney to Harper's Ferry in company with his father. After dinner the party took the cars for Rutland, where they arrived in safety tbat evening, and lodged at tbe Bardwell House. Tbe next morning they departed for Vergennes, intending to cross Lake Cham plain at tbat paint, and then travel over the mountains in wagons to North Elba. At Vergennes the proprietors of the Stevens House very generously refused to take any compensation from either Mrs. Brown or the gentlemen who accompanied her.

Brown, it appears, was well known In Verge nnes, and the register at the Stevens House bore several of bis autographs. None of the signatures are of recent date, but they are objects of ppecial interest to tbe residents of the town, and highly prized. Wken the hoar arrived for the departure of the cortege, tho inhabitants, to the number of sixty or seventy, formed In procossion and amidst tho tolling of boils the corpse was escorted out of the village en its to the ferry. Crossing the lake at Adams' ferry, tbe party arrived at Westport in time for dinner. Here also the of the hotel, who was an old friend of Brown Hs, refused to take any The inhabitants tet iftcii cn bearing lhe expense of transporting the party to North Elba, and providod the best of everything for their comfort on tbe journoy.

CROSSING TOE ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS. The passage over tbo Adirondack mouc tains at this season cf the year is considered a most arduous tie i lying between Lake Champlair. and tho spot eeiectcd by Brown for bis residence beirg one vast wil4ervrfr. order to give our readers oomo idea of the wildnctis the country we might mention the fact of eight deer, two pantVrs. thirteen sable and one wild oat kaving becu killed there this season by a single hunter.

The distance from the lake to North Elba Us only about forty miles, yft ibo Journey is seldom accomplished in Jess tliau a day an a hall, rugged and mountainous is the path After a tedious journey, the party reached Elizabethon Tuesday uUhl, where they halted for Bleep and rrlY'f hrnfnt. The Bbei ilfof Essex county who was tho proprietor of the hotel, received tlio party kindly and offered them the best his house afforded, and at InvitaiKtt OK) inhabitants formed a procession and couveyed tbecorpneto the Court House, where it remained all guarded by six youths who volunteered the. task. ARRIVAL AT NOttTIl ELBA. On Wednesday morning tho journey was reetimed.

The party stopped at the house of Phineas Norton, old friend of Brown's, for rest and dinner, and then pushed on to North Elba, whore they arrived about fcve o'clock tbttevenlng. The meeting between Mrs. Brown and the siirviv ng members of the family was not charac teriz i ll by any loud demonstrations of grief. Tears did mil M' proiusely, perhaps, as might expected under the -cuuistitn jes, but a close observer could perceive thai the unguish tho lious' hold was intense.

The reverend gentleman testified to lie c.iurtosy several pi eminent citizens iu Virginia and Maryland, alio the sympathy trial was felt for Mrs. Brown all along the route from Harper's Kerry to North Elba. He said that they had hi en treated with all proper respect, an I made favorable mention of Mr. Garrett, President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad; Col. Shutt, Dr.

At tho close of the evening the In! was raised Irom tk- collln aud the body of (Nd Brown was exhibited to all present. The countenance of deceased was moro natural than it appeared in New York, and bore a placid aud serene eicpresrion. An hour or so was then spent in conversation, and the household retired for the night. PKRr AltATIONS FOB THE FtTNEKAL. Thursday morulng dawned bright and clear.

More than one Virginian sought to comfort her by (My lag a tribute to bin bravery and consistency. A blunt militia 'Ulcer said in her bearing, "I'll tell you what my opinion ia of Brown; he's one of that kind of met) that God does not put many of above ground." Another ofllcer, thoroughly pro slavery in his sentiments and fool lugs, bad begged for some memento his autograph, or some other relic, however trilling. Mr.

McKitn then spoke ot the incidents before the execution, and described the manly and uoblo bearing of the old hero a be was led forth to die, and as he stood the scaffold lie would attempt nothing as a tribute to John Brown, the fiicts of his life and ol bis bearing in the face of death were his best eulogy. He sympathized most profoundly with the bereaved widow and children, aud felt it a privilege to mingle bis tears with theirs. John Brown and tha sods and aon-ia-utw who, with him, had sacrificed their lives hi an effort to break the chains of the enslaved, were all benefactors, al martyrs In the sacrcd cause. Their lives bad not been spent In vain, and the world would ye acknowledge itself their debtor. Their memory woula be em balmed In history.

Mr. McKitn also ke tenderly those who are yot in prison, aud the following touch letter from Copple, brought to Mrs Brown at Harper Kerry, by the officer who accompanied her husband's body to that Ctur.LtflTOWK Jail, 1850.

EDWIN Some of Captain Brown's Mends, said Mr. Mc' seen to regard the result of tlio affair at Harper's porcy as a disaster. Disastrous it was in some respec' not a failure. It had developed the weakness, the imbecility of a slaveholding State, in such a way as must inevitably lead to emancipation.

Ho has "buililed better than he knew." He had wielded "the sword of the spirit" i ggaiiiBt slavery with wonderrul effect. His words hart out to ttle world and wrro doing their work. were inspired words, seeding neither alteration addition. Tbus, with the sword of the flesb and the of the spirit, John Brown bad performed a double mission, and the handwriting that doomed the syf jtcic'thmcd out cm the wall. Mr.

McKim eald that the the martyr had been made In the very spot by himself. He altio read the inscription for the family monument, which Old Brown wrote after the last Interview with hiswifo, and which was sent to her wtlh his deed body. The inscription was aocompatiiod by B'jmc directions aboct his property, aud also by the following letter? the last, probably, that he ever wrote? Mr Wirr? have time to enclose the within and tin above, which I forgot yesterdays and to bid vou another faro well. "Be of good cheer," and God Mmiphty bless, save, comfort, guide and keep you to "the eud Your all'oo'Aoaato husband, JOHN BROWN Mr McKim Minted with a fow words of exhortation to the family friends, assuring them that by thei sacrifices they made large contributions to the 0f freedom and. humanity and that they bed the earnest sympathy off thousands of the noblest and best -meu in the world.

BT WENDELL PHIILIP8. Wendell. Phillips then followed and spoke as How feeble all words are here. Vou think you have known him. None of rte, seem to have town him.

Walking serene to the wo Bay: what urage! Stooping to kiss that negro child, ho seems all tenderness. But he is only the centre of a gronp. These quiet homes sent six to that score of heroes. How bravel Utcy died? each standing in his poet till his voice sa id "enough." And those weeping children and widows, how blessed, since in the tot throbs of the brave young hewts at Har per'B Ferry, thoughts of thum minjrled wit' a lovo for God and hope for the slave. bits abolished slavery in Vir ginia.

Some may say that is too much. "Bunker Tlill sa vcred New England from the mother covmtry. Yet men that night pitied Warren. We see him cutting tho link George 111. censed that day to rule here.

Just as it. reached rbe bottom of the pit, and as tbe first shovel of earth grated harshly on the ear, the Rev. Mr. Young lifted up -his voice, ami, in loud, impressive tones exclaimed: "1 have fought the good tight; I have finished my course; henceforth there is laid up for tuoacrowo of righteousness, which the tho righteous Judge, will give uie at the last i.ay, The work of in toe grave having been performed, Mrs and her relatives slowly wende-l their way back to the but the great ilk of the crowd remained idly fpsi.ig on tiie mound for an hour or so aiiur all was over. JOHN BROWN'S EPITAPH.

The first at tide of Old Brown's will refers to a monument at North Klba, which he bequeaths to his son, Juhu Brown, with icstroctions to have his epitaph inscribed npou it. Thin stone was erected to tho memory of the m'jeased'B grandfather, who fell in tho Revolution; but it was also intended as a monument for Old Brown himself, as will be seen from the following extract from his wul I toOTVSon, John Brown, toy sun-eying eorasnd tiie. purveyors' If found my old fa rile kionnmem now at Klba I wl, to re oetve iw two sides a further iincrijitin I wli bere Iter write, said stone monument ho never a jvorih Iba so Ion it ny of my children or my wife may re main there as resident The inscripfioi.s that he speaks of were prepared the day holm the execution, and are now in the possession ot Sits.

TUB HOMESTEAD AT NORTH ELBA is built upon the tract of land purchased by Gerrlt Hraltb for a colony of negroes, somo tifteen years ago. It is a rude frame building, two stories high, and has anything but a pretentious appearance. Tne farm, in point of elevation, is said to be the highest in tho Statu; bene it is not what might be called productive land.

The In that part of the country just manage in livu on the product and that iB nil. When Brown first bo til. il at North Klha, about a doas col ire I UrniUen followed him thuher, and it was believed by Smith that a nourishing colony would grow up tmtcuil of increasing in population or wealth, howev rui'iny has lu cp ased in both, and now there aro no( more than half a dowo negro families In place fUl, onterprme proved a complete failure, hut Brown quite attached to the spot, and refused to leave lamily have resolved to make the place jr bom- although few can see the inducement fr a lifetime in such a Ureary wilderness. BERMON BY THE REV. DR.

THE OBJECT, FAILURE AND DEATH TQ. BROWN. Tbo Union church, situated at rj0rIM)r of ninth street and Broadway, vaa wovded to excons last evening, the delivery of a dto coarse on thq Wtwu, inltfntloWg Md fate of John Brown's to revolutionize Virginia. The au" d'CioM for tbo moBt part? or iany 0f whom wero doubtless attracted by the 'popularity of tho them'', and the known ability of the preacher consisted o( persons jn the upper and me ro fashionable ranks of society. long before the serv toes commenced the room was thro aged with an intelliger it crowd, and the utmost atten a was paid to the of the minister, and several the discourse 'actually elicited a sort of subdue applause, which is ratfjor an unusual thing in cases of religious demonstration a.

The services of tb evening began with the singing of a hymn, after the Rev. H. Jlattteon offered op an eloquent and impre'Mlve prayer. In the course of his remarks, be pray ed that God would enable his servant not only to do an'j to say what Aoutd be said, but to Bay it mildly arid kindly, breathing each sentence in a spirit of heavenly chanty, and that the blessing of God might res? upon him to guldo (uk heart and bis touguc, so that nothing should be withheld that should be sail, and nothing aid that should be withheld, and that be migit speak onr- who has to give an account. Ho thuu prayed for the.

unfortunate companions of Jobn Brown, ntw under soutencc of death. He said that before another Subha.it] breaks upon the world tbutso men would be into eternity. Be trusted that God would be merciful to them, and that they might be like brand snatched from tfae burning. He concluded bis prayer by imploring the Almighty to bring about tho causo universal freedom without bloodshed, ooutunUou, or war. The reverend gentleman selected his text from tbo fourth verse of the eleventh chapter of the Epistle of the Apostle Faul to the He being dead, yet speuketh.

This, be said, related to the first nan who died, and whose death grew out of a conflict between right and wrong? just as if it were to foreghadow the great fact attested by all history that in tho moral conflicts of this world, wrong will often be in tbo ascendency, while tho advocates of right will perish; and also, as if to foreshadow this additional fact, that though they die they will speak Btiil by their example, their iunocency, by their principle and influence, that shall live on in the ages that follow to the end of time? that therefore tho cause or right on earth lose nothing by the violent death of Its supporters and advocates. "Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one and slew his brother. And wherefore slew ne lnm? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous." The reverend gentleman then proceeded to explain his reasons for dealing with this subject in the pulpit. Iiret of all, it was an occoj-ence of unusual pubbc interest and significance, and therefore worthy of some nolice from the pulpit. It had Its distinct moral and religious aspects, aud therefore belonged to the pulpit.

He owed a duty to his flock to givt his views on the subject. A great many confused statem' tits, right and wrong, had been made, and it was dtilieult to judge of the truth. It was a duly to the dead, whose lips are now silent forever, and whether ho was in error or not. justice should be done him. It was a duty to the cause wTiiob ho d.

d. It was a duty to oar common country to hasten tho dowufall of slavery. He held no one responsible for his opinions, nor did he soek to coerce or forco any one toadupttbem Whatever might, however, bo said, It must be admitted that Jobn own was sincere and unselfish, acting as he did against what he regarded au an indescribable evil, and with the design of benefitting his fellow beings. Some say be was Insane; others that he was mistaken; others, aitaiti, that he was deceived. so were all charitable opinions, however untrue they may "be.

But attention must be paid to the evi! against which ho was acting and which cost bim bis life. This nation was nw eighty three years old, and bnarts of bi ing the asylum oi the oppressed and the tnoeOl republic. But hero we have four millions oi skives, increasing at tho rate ol 100,000 every year. Knglaiid, Turkey, Portugal, and even Russia, had abolished slavery in their dominion's wbi'o wo.ua seeking to extend the sin and to apprujN iate territory already consecrated to Divine liberty for the empire of slavery. He then characterized the' system rt' slavery as being louni'ed on principles o.

Injustice, extortion, oppression, man stealing and robht ry. Slavery was tho foster parent of a. ultery, fornication and ioa-st it was the school of cruelty inhumanity and murder. Why was th-ro sucu greai difference between the North aud the South? Why Whs But the sound of the pistol heard a'l along the borders of our lakes, and why was thoro no duelling nor lynching heard ol' here? Where, in the most barbarous part of the earth, is it ever beard that men arc burned alive? In India the suttte lone prevailed, but oven that is now si altogi tlier But go to the South of tins couii fry, and what do we find? Men burned alive, not for the crime of murder alone, but for such au offeucc as sti kUig a white mrn. He would give one or two msi'im ep from Southern The Natchez Fi fe Trailer last year supplied the particulars the burning ol a man for striking a white man.

Ui tho State of there were no less than 600,000 alwes, and 20,000 wero anu ii ally wd from this to go tothcikse and augar fields ol tho far South.

In that State alons there were mulai.toes, a fact alone of the morality of ibe 1-eopl. who are always the first to talk about an amal carnation of the I na g. He declared slavery Ui be also a euise to the six millions of non-s'aveholding whites in tho South, who were nothing but posr while trash, as nnll coi.temmd by th. ir wealthy brethren as slaves mselves. Slavery was also the of tlte aatiooal nno order It was the aim and view of John Brown to a ar against so fool a system John Brown was a student oi i lie Bible, and his reason lor believing In tho Divii authority cf that blessod book was that it iusistod aiwnysopou strict moral rectitude.

Neither Avis, tho jnror, Senutor Mason, nor (iovernor Wise consMered thai Bruwu did not believe and revere the Bible. Whether Brown had understood ibo Bible right or wrong, there could be no don tit that he studied, marked and believed ft He was emphatically a man of deeds, and such ini-eii' lary as are containod In Ihe Book of Exodus could not tall to havo their due influeuce upon turn. The reverend gentleman ri welt at some length on the character of Biown, quoting copiously from his published letters and from the reports of the IIkraui, to show that ho was a truly upright ami religious man. Ho then considered hiB object, which, ho sai.i, was never a et.tial msurreetkm nor a butchery of the masters by the wiu? simply to run off companios of as bo had done tn Missouri. The scenes in which John Brown acted so prominent a part li Kansas next came under review.

His son Frederick as ui derert In cold blood, and Ins son John marched lion' issawatomle to Tecumseh loaded with chains, which ate into Ids sKin, from the effects ot which he died? while tin- chains are yet preserved by hi" sorrowing mother. The whole of John Brown's conduct in Kansas wiia basmi on self-defence, aud wheresoever he lniil to take life II was in defence of his own.

John Brown's object and imputes "were noble, for he was actuated by sympathy with the oppressed and a desire to liberate them. Whatever Minor errors he might have committed, be manifested a Christian spirit in all that he did to tbe very last, and we cannot but believe that he has gone to his reward and to (tit rest What a thought was that in'thls free land a nuts should die ss a public malefactor for attempting to liberate the enslaved! But he Is gone, and over tbe gallows, whence bis spirit took its flight, there was, as it were, inscribed tbe words "Treason, murder, insurrection;" but tbe civilized world will read it Homaaity, patriotism, reHgtan." John Brawn was far less criminal in tfcn sight of God than any man or woman in Virginia Who holds a siavo. He (tbe preiwcher) would rather lake John Brown 'schanoes for a seat in heaven than those of the doctors of IMvtoWy who apologise for slavery and attempt to the Bible to its support. John Brown was dead, it is 'true. Slavery took away bis Mfe, but though be is dead, yet doth he sjx'ak.

Urn death was like the trcrmp of Judg went to all the South. The movement be made has shaken the citadel 'Of slavery to its centre and tended to depreciate slave pr operty in an alarming mnnner. As John the Baptist was to Herod, so would John Brown be to the South. After Herod had beheaded Jobn the Baptist be never heard ot any miraculous movement bat iin exclaimed, Obi that's the Baptist 1" and so it will be John Brown Jotm Brawn, John Brown. The reverend gentfemiin then gave a lucid acomint of tbe slavo Insurrection in Jamaica In under the leadership of a preacher named Solomon Sharp, aod that sttompts of this kind were generally undertaken Christian men.

Sharp's insurrection failed and 2,000 sla res were hanged but, nevertheless. In two years after wa rds 890,060 slaves were liberated. John Brown's principles could not be shaken. Even on his wayto th gallows, he saw a poor negro woman with an infant in her arms, and stopping be took the ohkd and affectionate! kissed it, thus evincing a love and sympathy which was stronger than death He bad touched a chord of Christian sympathy throughout the world, as was shown by tbe eflect produced everywhere In the free States on tfcie receipt of the intelligence of bis death Dr. Mattlson very eloquently concluded by predicting that before the little negro child whom John Brown kissed shall grow up to manhood will cease in Virginia, arrl the spot ou which Brown was hanged will bo marked by a monument plied up by the labor of tl je two free races.

That babe will probably live to see it. monument was not built in '76, nor is Wash! ugton's monument yet built; and therefore the day will co me when universal Donor will be done to the memory of a man whose onlv aim was to strike the chains from th captive and to let tbe oppressed go free.

Troops for Charlettown LtougUs in Indiana.

Governor Willard, of Indiana, arrived Id this city on yesterday, in company with the Bon. John 8. Robinson and G. Rose, of that State, and Robert Crowley, of New York, brother In law of John E. Cook, now under sentence of death at Charlestown.

The object of their visit is understood to bo the pardon of Oxiko; bat the action of tho on Wednesday must render all efforts In that rejard hopeless The rare of Cook does not come withiu the jurisdiction of the U'gis'ature, in mnineh as lie is not convicted of treason. It is coraiieteiit for tho Governor to partou or commute in that ewe, as he thinks fli, but ho will lurdly do either, lo view of tho adverse sentiments of the legislature in relation to the pinion of any o( prisoners. The only hope for Toon friends, and iliat upon which they doiihllesa rely, Is to ope rate upon tho Governor, through tho Legislature, Ui their individual or unofficial capacity. But inasmuch as any action of this sort must conflict with their pub.ic course Id this matter, they will harlly bo induced to use any influence in behalf of Cook Very many membwrs deeply sympathise with Governor Willard, but inasmuch as the pardon of Cook through his influence would weir the complexion ef political favoritism, the impolicy of such a comae, aside from the general conviction of the justice of his secteoco, already expressed, will prevent any effort being made in behalf. Mr.

Alfred Caldwell, the Stato Senator from the Wheeling dwtrict, who, It will be remembered, avowed strong publican doctrines in a at hut homo lata Bumm-r, occupies a 'omewhat isolated social position here at preseut. He treuted th extreme coolneits by bis brother iVnutnrs and the members of tbo other bouse.

1U' stands tht- an isolated exception tlie general body iu which Ue serves, as regards the enb rtamed upon the sUverjr qaastion. Mr. J. J.

It is to put forth WrturuiccH that tlie Brown invasion had do at the North, outside of the abolition Ail such assurances are laughei at, and reot tveu oaty at resorts to obviate the to North e-a which muet reautt from the Extern of left feist km intended to be pursued by the Somh.

You trill bear no threats from the South. Their policy mow to act, acid the stringency o' this action will have no other than the constitution. They wiH go to the utmost limit oourdldlional privilege; while in a social point of view and interdicts far more stringent than could be under sanction of law will be enforced. It is idle, utterly idle, to seek to arrest this defirmuiati or obviate such results by assurances that Brewn and his aiwnctates frucd no sj mpatby from ttio mujerity of tbo Nsrth. Thi people uot onl.v argue it favor of disunion as a tit tensity but in their for it fem suddenly to discover natural beoeflts to thb South from rach a policy.

What before was esteemed a involving ruin to both sections, is now regarded a bussing. All at once 'the discovery is made tkat tho South, oat of the I'tiion, would become and prosperous under the ttimutous which her Manufactures would derive from separation and Independence, fn fact, disunion is now presented by many as a panacea for the commercial stagvaticn Irotn which the Sooth has been suffering; and 1 herilute not to say that the Irst feasible opportunity will be ized to liritm about such result. Tie two houses of tho Legislatuw were engaged for a considerable jiortioo ot to day in counting the votes recorded at the late election fCT Govwuor, Lieutenant tfoverner a nd Attorney General.

No lefts than this 3 it been publicly avowed by one having authority to I in language which admits of but one construe Ion.

The Northern PMtearaan most huoored and trusted his tedinc, and wliom that section manifestly intends plane at the heart of tlie general goverument, instead of tt tranquillity which the constitution guarant us, has pi oclaimed ac "irrepressible conllict," which means, and ca mean nothing but war from generation to generation up on that institution whicfc lies at the basis of Southern pri jmwer, civilization and happiness. As a '1 to that announcement, following in the due order of eve ata. comes the developement. not without bloodshed, ol plot couoocted in the North for the liberation of tha slay es of the South by a general insurrection. Th ere can fee no doubt that the so-called republican partj comprising a majority of the Northern people, and tliuB to all intents constituting the North, are -responsible for tin Rrowc'6 scheme of mingled vlllanyl and folly.

That tb? Northern people by the electlous which have eince the Harper's Ferry catastrophe, exhibit a iiamisukahl.i purpose of continuing in power. Its great engines of influence, the press and too pulpit, daily becoming more insulting and aggressive towards our inrtitutions and people. What else, then, haw wc to.oxpe?t, while the Union continues, but the one can say when, where, how often, or with wbwt bio ody isstiss, of attempts like that lately thwarted In Virgin I it is or a pawing thought, that though African is longer an institution of most of tho leading Powe of Christendom? several of them, in whose do ininwi it 'Ouee osisled, having abolished it yet none of Ciem i any disposition 10 interfere with its existence here. The only States that threaton our peace are states united wtfii as by bond of union, the constitution, designed 1V0 throw its. aegis of protection over all.

Great Bri'aki, mixih as she has done and suffered in the cat pe of aholrfuoo, ana though her (lag waves over her ovr.i soil', nearly within sight of the southern coast of Florida, a ttempts nothing lor the disturbance of our repone. Sh knows well, and recognises too fully, the obligations' of international comity. We neither tear her, nor have 'aton four hor. Our aggressions come from other than foreign sources. They oome from men who r.iadly think that, because connected with us in our the? are anrwerable for oarsins, and authorized, by vMriue of 1 his responsibility, to wage a war of extermination Bga: utt our You will no difficulty tn pcrceiviig the drift of llitsc nor do consider it becoming either in myself the occasion to deal language of doubtful 1 mif, as the youngest and least populous of tho Southern can only follow in action tho lead of her yet this constitutes no reason why.

I believe that her voice should be beard In "tooes not loud but deep," In favor of au eternal separation from those whose wickedness asu fanaticism torbiu us longer to live with them in peace and tufaty. There are good grounds for the hope that most of tho Southern will not onnsent to see the general government pass into hem's avowedly hostile to the South. If such their purpose, it Is not unlikely that they will propare lor the emergency of the approaching Presidential election. What, if any steps will be necessary, your part, to provide for Florida's co operation with them In the contingency suggested, 1 leave lor the wisdom of the Legislature to determine.
