PAPER, inflow SMes, Pitta Frames, Mollis, and Clromos, 93 Massachusetts Street, could scare a company of them. I al ways understood that Geo. W. Grant came to our camp on uttawa urees, near Captain Shore's, with a message from his father, John- T. Grant, to John Brown, asking for protection from threatened assaults of the Shermans and other pro slavery ruffians.

But I did not know Geo. W. Grant at the time and do not remember ot cee- 1 it I "1 1 ing him. rrequentiy neara tne cir cumstance mentioned as a fact. Atter the killing of William Sher- n.

"ii 11 man, sometime alter mionignt, we an went back to camp, about one mile dis tant, where we had left my team and other things. We remained in camp until after noon of the following day, and then started to again join the Pot awatomie company under Captain John Brown, Jr. When we reached Ottawa Jones' about midnight, we found them in camp at that place. The next morning the company was called together just after breakfast, and John Brown, announced his resig nation, and requested the company to elect another Captain in his place. The name of H.

H. Williams, now of Osawatomie, and my own were presented and a vote taken which resulted in the election of Williams. The com pany then broke camp and started for "home. After crossing Middle creek at Mount Vernon, John Brown, with the rest of the party who accompanied him on the Potawatomie expedition, fell back from the balance of the company and struck on to the lett ot the main Potawatomie road in the direction of the cabins of John Brown, and Jason Brown. That night we staid at the cabin of the former, keeping up a guard all night, ihe next night we went to Jason Brown's about one mile and a half away.

Here we remained several days, all the time on the watch. hile we remained here August Bundy, and I think Benjamin L. Cochran, joined us. Atter several days, as I now remember, a young man by the name of Car-i penter came to us from Prairie City and gave the information that Capt. Pate was in the vicinity in search of Brown That evening we all took horses and started for Prairie City, where we ar rived the next morning about daylight and camped in the timber on Ottawa Creek near Captain Shore's.

While John Brown was cooking breakfast for the company, James Red path came in to our camp and had some conversation with Captain Brown. I saw Redpath again after the battle of Black Jack, near Blue Mound, and I desire to say, in this connection, that. I never told Redpath at any time that John Brown was not present at the Potawatomie tragedy. His statement, which has been read to me, to the el tect that two squatters, who aided in the execution," gave him such informa tion, is totally false, so far as I am con 1 ft 1 cerned. as wmer and myseit were the only settlers in the neighborhood, not members of Brown's family, who were present at the tragedy, I can only conclude he referred to us.

In the af ternoon after we camped in the timber near Captain Shore's, we moved up in to Prairie City. We picketed out our horses and laid down not over a hundred yards from the store. About the middle of the afternoon six of Pate's men came riding into town, four of whom we captured and held as prison ers. During the afternoon Captain Shore raised a company of about thirty men and in the evening we started in pursuit of Pate. The next morning be fore daylight we obtained information that he was camped at Black Jack Point, and we moyed forwards with about twenty-four men to attack him When within a mile of Pate's forces we all dismounted, left seven men in charge of the horses, and with seven teen men made the attack.

In about fifteen minutes we drove fhem into the ravine. The fight continued about three hours when Pate surrendered About the time we got the captured arms loaded into the wagons ready to move, Maj. Abbott's company came up and we all marched back to Prairie City with the prisoners. Here we re mained until Col. Sumner released them.

At this time I left John Brown, and in company with Charley Lenhart and some other Lawrence parties, camped in the timber n- ar Ottawa Jones'. A day or two after we went to Blue Mound, a few miles south of Lawrence Here I again met Winer, Bundy, and also saw Redpath as before stated: Winer, from this point, went to Leav enworth, and thence to St. Louis, as I have been informed. I went on to Lawrence, and from there to Topeka, where I staid one niarht and then re turned to Lawrence, which place I made a sort of headquarters for several weeks. I was acquainted with Martin F.

Conway and his brother Jefferson, and saw them frequently while I was there. I knew the Conways in Maryland, and they were the first persons of my acquaintance that I met after I came to the Territory. I visited my cabin on the Potawatomie occasionally, but not to stay any length of time, and in uly I went to Birmingham, to get work. I was taken sick on the way with the ague, and was unable to do much of anything for weeks. In the later part of the season, Col.

S. W. Eldridge passed through Iowa for Lawrence. with a company I After my team was ted andthe carty had taken suDDer. John Tirnwn told me for the first time what he proposed to do.

He said he wanted me to pilot the company up to the forks of the creek some five or six-miles above, into the neighborhood in which I lived, and show them where all the nrn-slavprv men resided; that he proposed to sweep r- the creek as he came down of all the pru-siavery men living on it. 1 posi tively refused to do it. He insisted upon it, but when he found that I would not go he decided to postpone the I expedition until the following night. I 1 then wanted to take my team and go I home, but he refused to let me do so I and said I should remain with them. 1 We remained in camp that night, and I all day the next dav.

Sometime after I dark we were ordered to march. We started, the whole company, in a northerly direction, crossing Mosquito creek above the residence of the Doyles. Soon after crossing the creek some one of the party knocked at the door of a cabin but received no reply I have forgotten whose cabin it was, ii I knew at the time. The next place we came to was the residence of the Doyles. John Brown, three of his sons and son- in-law went to the door, leaving Fred- erick Brown, Winer and myself a short distance from the house.

About this time a large dog attacked us. Fred erick Brown struck the dog a blow with his short two-edged sword, after which I dealt him a blow on the head with my sabre and heard no more from him. The old man Doyle and two sons were called out and marched some dis tance from the house toward Dutch Henry's in the road, where a halt was made. Old John Brown drew his re voiver and shot the old man Loyie the forehead, and Brown two youngest sons immediately fell upon tbe younger Dovles with their short two-edged swords. One of the young Doyle's was stricken down in an instant, but the other at tempted to escape, and was pursued a short distance by his assailant and cut down.

The company then proceeded down Musquito creek to the bouse of Allen Wilkinson. Here the old man Brown, three of his sons, and son-in law, as at the Doyle residence, went to the door and ordered Wilkinson to come out, leaving Frederick Brown, Winer, and myself, standing in the road east of the house. Wilkinson was taken and marched some distance south of his house and slain in the road with a short sword by. one of the younger Browns. After he was killed his body was dragged out to one side and left We then crossed the Potawatomie andjeame to the house of Henry Sher man, generally known as Dutch Henry Here John Brown and the party, ex cepting Frederick Brown, Winer, and myself, who were left outside a short distance from the door, went into the house and brought out one or two persons, talked with them some, and then took them in again.

They afterward brought out William Sherman, Dutch Henry's brother, marched him down into the Potawatomie Creek, where be was slain with swords bv Brown's two youngest sons, and lett lying in the creek. It was the expressed intention of Brown to execute Dutch Henry also, but he was not found at home. He al so hoped to find George Wilson, Pro bate Judge of Anderson county, there, and intended, if he did, to kill him too. Wilson had been notifying Free State men to leave the Territory. I had re ceived such a notice from him myself.

I desire to say here that it is not true that there was any intentional mutila tion of the bodies after they were kill ed. They were slain as quickly as possible and left, and whatever gashes they received were inflicted in the pro cess of cutting them down with swords I understood- that the killing was done with these swords, so as to avoid alarm ing the neighborhood by the discharge of firearms. I desire also to say that I did not then approve of the killing of those men, but Brown said it must be done for the protection of the Free State settlers; that the pro-slavery party must be terrified, and that it was bet ter that a score ot bad men should die than that one man who came here to make Kansas a free State should be driven out. Brown wanted me to pilot the party into the neighborhood where I lived, and point out all the pro-slavery men in it, whom he proposed to put to death. I positively refused to do it, and on account of my refusal we remained in camp all of the night upon which the attack was first intended to be made, and the next day.

I told him I was willing to cro with him to Le-compton and attack the leaders, or fight the enemy in open field anywhere, but I did not want to engage in killing these men. That night and the acts then perpetrated, are vividly fixed in my memory, and I have thought of them many times since. I then thought that the transaction was terrible, and have mentioned it to but few persons since. In after time, however, I became satisfied that it resulted in good to the Free State cause, and was especially beneficial to Free State settlers on Potawatomie Creek. The pro slavery men were dreadfully terrified, and large numbers of them soon lett the Territory.

an We-are enabled to lay before our i readers, this morning, the most important contribution ever made to Kansas history, A full and circumstantial account of the Potawato- mie trageay. in May, itsoo, irom one who was an eve-witness and Darticioat- a ed in that terrible affair. The history of the paper which we publish below is as follows: In the course of the various articles which have been recently published in the Journal in regard to this affair, and the discussion which has ensued, it be came important, if possible, to determine just where John Brown and his company went after they left camp on that historic afternoon when the old man called for volunteers and depart ed upon his secret expedition; whether John Brown remained with the com pany; if he did, what part he took, if any, in the tilling; where the party went that night after the killing was done; and their subsequent movements until they returned to John Brown company at Ottawa Jones'. It was evident that these facts could only be obtained from some one who was a member of the party. The only per son supposed to be living in Kansas, and known to have been one of the party, was Mr.

James Townsley, of Os- awatomie. John Hutchings, of tms city, wno has taken the deepest in 1 -m a terest in this history, volunteered to visit Mr. Townsley and if possible pro cure from him a full and circurastan tial statement. On Thursday, Decern ber 4, Mr. Hutchings left Lawrence and rfl.fhftd Tjanft.

Franklin in afternoon, and put up with Juig Hanway. He called into requisition the services of Judge Hanway and Johnson Clark, Esq. Mr. Townsley, in respose to an invitation from these gen tlemen came to Judge Han way's house ana alter spending several hours in conversation respecting all the points and details of the tragedy dictated to Mr. Hutchings the following statement, which is so far the only full authentic and detailed history of the Potawato- mie tragedy ever given to the public.

It is needless to say that both the Journal and the public are under deep obligations to Mr. Hutchings for the efforts he has made to get at the bottom tacts ot this most tragical event in Kansas history. The following is the statement. Ed. I am a native of Harford county, State of Maryland, and was born Aug txst 29th, 1815.

In August, 1839, 1 en listed in Company Capt. Benjamin L. Bell, Second United States Dra goons, and served five years in the Florida war waged against the Semin ole and Creek Indians, a part of the time under the command of General Taylor, and was discharged in August, 1844, at Fort Washita, Indian Tern tory. I am a painter by trade, and followed that business in Fallston, in my native county, until Oct. 20, 1855, when I emigrated to Kansas with my tamily, and settled in Anderson county, on the Potawatomie Creek, about one mile west of Greeley.

I joined the Potawatomie rifle company at its re organization in May, 1856, at which time John Brown r. was elected captain. On the 21st of the same month information was received that the Georgians were marching on Law rence, threatening its destruction. Tbe company was immediately called to-: gether, and about four "o'clock p. m.

we started on a forced march to aid in its defense. About two miles south of Middle Creek we were joined by the Osawatomie company, under Captain Dayton, and proceeded to Mount Ver-; non, where we waited about two hours until the moon rose. We then marched all night, camping the next morning the 22d, for breakfast, near Ottawa Jones'. Before we arrived at this point news had been received that Lawrence had been destroyed, and a question was raised whether we should return or go on. During the forenoon, however, we proceeded up Ottawa creek to within about five miles of Palmyra, and went into camp near the residence of Captain Shore.

Here we remained undecided over night. About noon the next day, the 23d, old John Brown came to me and said he had just received information that trouble was expected on the t. Potawatomie, and wanted to know if I would take my team and take him and his boys back so that they could keep watch of what was going on. I told him I would do so. The party, consist- 4 ing of old John Brown, Frederick Brown, Owen Brown, Watson Brown, Oliver Brown, Henry Thompson, (John Brown's son-in-law,) and Mr.

Winer, were soon ready for the trip, and we started as near as I can remember two o'clock t. m. All of the party, except Mr. Winer, who rode a pony, rode with me in my wagon. When within two or three miles of the Potawatomie creek we turned off the 1 il '-LI main ruau tu iuo ngui, mum uunu into the edge of the timber between wa east.

I talked with him, and he advised me not to return. This was the last time I ever saw him. Tiiere is an error in the published statement of Mr. Johnson Clark, fixing the time of the killing of the Doyles, Wilkinson, and Sherman, on the night of tbe day we left the camp of John Brown, at Ottawa creek. Mr.

Clark must have misunderstood me. I certainly did not understand his state ment as it now reads. It was imme diately, or soon after we camped that night that 1 retused to go any tarther, because Brown required me to take them into the neighborhood where I lived, to commence operations, and hence nothing was done until the next night. I make this statement at the urgent reauest of mv friends and neighbors. Judge James Hanway, and Hon.

John son Clarke, who have been present dur ing all the time occupied in writing it out and in whose hearing it has been several times read before signing. James Iownslet. Lane, Kansas, Dc. 6th, 1879. MR.

TOWSSLEV8 STATEMENT, At last, we have the details of the Potawatomie tragedy from an eye witness, in Mr. James Townsley's statement published in the Journal this morning. This statement gives us, for the first time, the movements and the whereabouts of old John Brown and his party from the time they started out of John Brown camp, on Ot tawa Creek, on the afternoon of May 23, on their Potawatomie expedition, until their return to his camp at Ot tawa Jone's, after the killing had taken place. It shows that old John Brown led and commanded the company during the whole time. This statement also gives the details of the killing and aifirms, what has been the generally re ceived account in the neighborhood, that old John Brown himself, with his revolver, killed the first man slain, viz: old man Doyle, while the others were slain with short swords by the younger Browns.

After the killing of Sherman the party returned to the camp from which they had set out and where they staid the remainder of the night, and until the afternoon of the following day, when they set out to again join the company under John Brown whose camp at Ottawa Jones' they reached at about midnight. This accounts for every moment of the time from the minute they left John Brown camp until they returned to it. It estaDlishes, beyond all reasonable doubt, that old John Brown was pres ent at and participated in the killing. The only doubt ever existing on this point was caused by the statement, to the contrary, by Redpath, in his life of Brown, by Sanborn's affirmation that Brown frequently told him he was not present, and by some reported statement of Brown at Harper's Ferry. We have reason to believe that Redpath was aware of the true state of the case.

Mr. Sanborn must have made a mistake, for John Brown never, in Kansas, denied his presence at the killing, and his; responsibility for it. His statement at Harper's Ferry may not have been correctly reported, or the old man, being under duress, may have felt that he was under no obligation to furnish testimony against himself. Whatever the explanation, the fact, until some stronger evidence to the contrary than has yet been made public, must be accepted, that old John Brown was the leader in the killing, and himself did a part of it. It would be interesting to find out just who it was that carried the message to old John Brown in camp on Ottawa creek from Potawatomie creek apprising him of the threatened attack upon the Free State people.

That such a message was brought by some one, is beyond a doubt. During the absence of the Potawatomie company from home on the expedition to relieve Lawrence, the old storekeeper, Morse, had been driven from his premises and his life threatened, Sherman had also notified the Grants that the Free State settlers had to get out. It has been the tradition that George W. Grant was sent as tbe messenger to Brown; but he was a member of the Potawatomie company, and was at the time with them. It is quite possible that it was the man Winer, for he was present on a pony which he rode on the trip with the party from Ottawa creek to the Potawatomie.

Mr. Winer is still living we believe in Kansas, and we may possibly yet hear from him on this and other points. POSITIVE RESULTS. There are numerous remedies that cure sometimes and become trusted as useful, but none have ever proved so effectual cured so many and such remarkable cases as Dr. Ayer's medicines.

The Cherry Pectoral has restored many patients who were believed to be hopelessly affected with consumption. Ague Cure breaks up chills and fever quickly and surely. Ayer's compound extract of sarsa-parilla eradicates scrofula and impurities of the blood, cleanses the system and restores it to vigorous health. By its timely use many troublesome disorders that cause a decline of health are expelled or cured. Ayer's Pills and their effects are too well known every where to require any commendation from us here.
