JOHN BROWS INYASION, FUBTTIKB RrTEBEBTTNO IM I DENTS OF THE EXEfimON. Proas Oar rlaocial Dec. 3, 1869. la looking over the note-book of my jmmt mm he wu abont fearing town, 1 observed that he aad omitteil certain matter? which are not without eou aederabfe mtereet, and which I will Lay before yoo at this time Certainly no one who witnessed the scene nveeented on the field of execution can obliterate it Brem hit memory; for, netting aside the nstaxBsrlj aaemornble rrent which called it out, the grouping, anmrehing, and deploying of the troops, seen in the ennlight, and with so grand a background, would koenre he permanency. The ann arose clear and bright, but was presently lost behind a haze which I thought augured badly for the day.

By 9 o'clock, however, aJuioet the entin expanse of ice Woe beavens was free of clonds, and iheruiometer stood so high that, until lute in the afternoon, the windows of honscs were open, and all the world were sitting on their (torches or promenading the streets. I walked ont to the field of execution at aa early hour to wntcb all tbe preliminaries, and secure as good a plaro as tbe fears of the mil? itary anihorities would accord to a peacefn cibten frota the North. Tne timber fur the SCaJtold. all framed ready for erection, wns hauled to the ground the evening previous, and at 7 o'cl Mat, the carpenter and his assistants began putting it together. The scaf? fold was about six lect high from the ground, perhaps twelve feet wide, and fifteen or eighteen long.

A hand-rail extended around three aides and down the tight of steps. On the other tide, stout uprights, with a cross-beam which was by strong braces. In tbe center ol the cross-beam was an iron book from which the rope was The trap beneath was arranged to swing on hinges, attached to tne platform so slightly, as to break from it wbtu the cord was cut that upheld tbe trap. The cord, knotted at the end, parsed through a hole in the trap, through another hole in the cross-beam, o.ei the corner and down the up? right to a book near the ground, to which it was tied. It will thus be seen, that the weight of tbe prisoner being upon it, the sheriff bad only to cut the cord near the Look, and the trap would fall at once.

The rope used to strangle Hrown was only three feet long. It was of hemp, made in Kentucky, and sent in a box to Sheriff Campbell by a planter lor this exprem purpose. Other topes had been sent from other sec? tions. One made it South Carolina cotton, in Alex? andria, has already been publicly ined. This would have been preferred beyond all others, because of the eminent fitness of the moral it conveyed the consider? ation of all sympathizers with this deluded Bot Providence willed otherwise; for it was found on trial unable to sustain a much less weight than that ef a man's body.

Another, almost as gre it a pet with onr CharlesLown friends, was of hemp, made in Mis? souri ky the tUves of Maliala Doyle, and stint by her with it particular request that, for the sake of retribu? tive justice, might be used to hang the man whom she aastrts murdered ber husband and two sons. This was tried in the balance, but found wanting also. So the precious gift from Kentucky was applied to tbe purpose. Tbe rope was arranged so as to give the body a fall ef just eighteen enough it wai thought by some, who expressed a desire tliat. Brown might sail ten feet, so as to insure bis death beyond a perad eenttrre.

Oa Thursday afternoon, a corporal and some of his guard went to to the field with a wagon-load of white lasts fixed on short sttkes, which were stack in the ground at twenty paces apart all around (he lot, in two rows, the rows twenty paces apart. These were in? tended Ui mark the posts of the sentries. Other similar flags showed the positrons for the Commander-in-Chief, with Lb staff, the several companies and troops, aud a narrow strip on the town side, where worthy and well qualified citizens who came properly vouched for, should be allotted positions. They need not have gone to tLis latter trouble, however, for when tbe time for the execution came, the people hud been so warned, snd bajotietted, and arrested, and scared, and bam? boozled by the military, that they generally remaiued at hon e. There were not 400 nM ihans OBJ the ground, aad as lo the poor country people, they might have fceeu seen from the scaffold, away off on roads and belds, at least a mile olf.

and nil under tbe watchful supervision of valiant troopers and foot soldiers. By I o'clock the first of the troops itme to do their perilous duty. The double line of sentries war ar? ranged, and nt the word of command each imtu in bis tarn right-faced and forward-marched, and went to pacing up und down bis beat, for all the world us if moved by machinery. Cavalry troopers clothed in scarlet jaeket? sat like statues on their horses at die taiiees of fifty feet from each other, bot lapse of time bringing weariness, they relieved themselves by assuming sundry graceful postures of body, such as hanging leg over their horse neck or sitting i-ide wise like a wmnan. Then came an atdlery company, with a brass cannon ef large sire and most approved pattern, which was skillfully pointed so that in the event of uu attempted rescue the poor prisoner might tie ah into shreds by the heavy charge of grape-shot that lay jxrtlu in cavernous depths.

So von see the brave Virginians wtre determined to vindicate the majesty of the law in nay, event. This no joke I nature you. The there, and actually loaded; for I etw it with my own eyes, and fek with my own hands. IThis was not the only cannon iu question, either, for Cap'. Nichols company bad their guns pointed so as to sweep the jail and even approach to it, in case of need; which, considering that the fearful enemy was being quietly banged at a little off, reminded are of dog Noble watching a certain after a certain squirrel had run satcly Iroui it.

I do not speak of the remaining in jail, for no one feels afraid of them. Uro? is the bead devil, and almost tile oulv inrnbus on their breasts. After the artillery, more cavalry and infantry, and so on until all but the escort were on the The field contains about forty acres, I should say, part of in corn stabi le, but the greater part in grass. The sur face is undulating, and a broad hillock near the pubile road was resected as the site for the gallows, because it would afford the distant fair view, and place -prisoner so high that if to tire upon him, the soldiers need not shoot each other or the civilians. Tbe field was bounded on the sooth by the road, on the north by a pretty bit of woodland, and on the remaining two by lueloeod fields.

The sail shone a ith great splendor as the prisoner eeeort casne up, and alar off could be seen the bright gleaming muskets and bayonets of his body-guard, budging hint in, in close runks, all about. On the fit-Id the several coat panier glittered with the same sparkle ef guns nnd tbe guy colors of their uni forat, made more intense in the glare, came out into strong relief with the dead tints of sod and Away of to the East and South, the splendid mass of the Blue Bidge loomed against the sky, and shut in the horisoa. Over the woods, toward the Northeast, long, thin stripes of had grad'Utl'y accumulated, and foreboded the vlorm that cauvr in due time, while, lookup toward the South, tbe eye took in an undu? lating fertile country, mretching out to the durtan AD Nature seemed at a. and the sha dow of tbe approaching solemnity seemed to have tsran cast over the soldiers, lor there was a sound to be heard the column came slowly up tbe road There no band of musicians to higbten the effee tha by playing tha march of the dead but with solemn tread the heavy fortfalle came, aa i those of one man. they passed to their station on tbe eavsteriy side of the scaffold, and the old man calmly descended from the wagon, mounted the gallows stairs with umfaltering step, and wan led to his place on the fatal trap.

The animal heat remained iu his body so long, that although it whs to left under esco ol' a di ta? mt of the Richmond Grays at the physicians detained it an hour and a half longer to cool.

This amiable is 0:1 a par with that of the students nt the Winchester Medical College, who hftve skinned the body of one of Brown's bohs, separ? ated tbe nervous and muscular and venous systems, dritd und varnished them, and have the whole hung up us a id anatomical illustration. of the stu? dents wished to stuff the skin, others to make it into game pouches. They had better not stuff it, for it the oecnpant gave them so bad a scare that it requires nearly three thousand troops ft quiet them, the very dried skin stuffed w'ith straw would keep them at least in a perpetual tremor. If there are cowards und blusterers in this part of the country, do not set down all Virginians as such, for I am well assured that there are thousands of stout hearts and strong arms ready nt this moment to fight for her soil.

No one bnt a natural fool ran see such men in arms as aie occasionally met in the ts of Charlestown, alongside as brave hoys as ever looktd into a cannon month, without being sen? sible of tbe spirit which actuates some of the There is great feeling of e.xasjieriition in Jefferson County against (iov.

Things have got loMit a puss that old citizens cannot go from tlieir houses to their stores wi'hout danger of several arrests. Farmers ishing to sell produce in town, or purchase necessaries tor their families tire stopped on the high? road at the point of the bayonet.

The usual form is this: Who comes there A friend, with aft roitiiteraign." "Advance, friend, and give the count, rs'gn." "Trenton." I'ass friend." But the poor friend has to go through this ordeal 1 quarter or half mile, and it becomes miserably tiresome II tore the dozen of eggs are sold or the pound of can? dles purchased. fJov. Wise's Jcfferton-Countv vote, iu case of his nomination, will be intinitessimally small. The village, turn where you ill, presents every pearanic of a besieged town, what with canntn in the streets, troops marching and parading, sentries pacing to and orderlies horn ftg hithei ami thither, public buildtfies, chunhes. and private houo-s imed into barracks, and around them all the coking, clean? ing of accoutrements, and the thousand other accesso? ries of soldiers' There is great want of system in tbe military ar? ranging ills, and in the event of a combined attack at dirlennt poicts, tliie contusion would ensue.

If niv military does net go for naught, I must be lieve tluit, with the present disposition of the several ft dus of mmps, a general alarm ould result in great slaughter of the soldiers by their ow friends. But, fortunately, there will be no occasion to test practi? cally tie value of my obesetvation. for no foe will, or ever intended to, attack'tbe troops. It is possible, but not, in my opinion, probable, tlist if piecautions had not Ixen taken, a email band of I'mtvn comrades might have attempted to cai-ry him off by stratagem. That all out of the question now, however, for be wilt dialuri? no tuore Yirginiuua, ex? cept bis memorv ma) incite to a repetition ol foil-.

The newspapers that I have seen at this plate make no mention of tbe fact that, toeitberthe stupidity or inexperience of the cavalry erct rt. they did fall into position about the gallows for so long a time tha: li commanding oflicer, impatient at he delav, and not wishing to keep standing on the with the noose his neck, gave the signal when eight minutes had expired, and the poor man swnng off hile tic troop was passing witlun a few of him. As the trap fell its lunges gave a wailing sort of scree, that could heard at every point on the field. Was this symt-olic of tbe wail of grief that went np at the moment fr.ends to the cause of eman ate 11 throughout the land Iu the ad etillueee of ti hour it went to my heart like tbe ail for the de that mav be heard some highland glen.

the field was quickly deserted; the cannon lim? bered up agnin, rumbled away, and the companies of infantry and of cavalry, in solid column, away. Tb? body had not left the field before the carpenters began to take the scaffold to that it might be stored up against the 16th proximo, wheti it will be need to barg Cook and together. A separate gallows will be built lor the two negroes.

JOHN BKOWN8 BODY IN PHILADELPHIA. from The Philadelphia Sunday Trantmpr. The booy of John Brown passed through the city yesterday "afternoon.

It arrived by the Baltimore train, and was met at the depot By a' large concourse of principally colored. The came in charge of Mrs. Brown, the widow of the deceased, companieii bv Miller McKim and Messrs. lb I Tyndull of tVis city. These persons went to Haiper wvttj Brisk Mia Brown, and in all her troubles mani? fested themselves her friends.

The train by which the body arrived came in from Baltimore, at Broad and Crime streets, at twenty minutes of one o'clock. For half an hour previous, a crowd of colored and a few white sympa who, mingling with the usual of carriage und omnibus drivers, baggage smashers, Ac, ho rol? le, ahotil the station at Bioad and Crime streets, blockaded the depot entrance. A ptioii omr iitee. headed by Dr. Furiiess, was in attendance, to receive Mrs.

Brown aiaf party, al the station; while a large poliie force was also de? tail. .1 lor service; the Mayor and Chief of Police were prcti nt on ti arrival of the train, and were gaped at by tbe crowd in a very decided manner. Wlstl the train came in, Mrs. l-i-mn, with two ladies accompanying her. left the cars and passed dow Washington street, leaning on the arm ot Mr.

Tyndfdl. Al Eleventh aUeet lin took a city railway car. and passed up to Arn street. Mr-. Brown will remain in thi? i it) mil JUFnioi row at the bouse of a friend.

Mrs. Brown is an aged lady, stout and firm in de? meanor, and is dressed in mourning. Tin: removal of the body in sab ty was a ma'fer re? quiring I. I tineevc. The Mayor, we have -aid, was presi nt.

The Mayor surveyed the mob ol medical students and colored people, and in fern a possibility that a suiiabble might ensue, und the hotly be snl jeded to indignities. 'I be Mayor now adopted a ruse, rendered all the I mote necessary in conreuiience of the espionage of a lot of Ixiys, who climla-d to tbe top of tin high fence and reported progress to the crowd that -urrounded the building. The May or now procured the services of a furnituie wagon, drawn by a liflcen-dollar gelding. Into this was placed an old tool chest that belonged to the tail' nter at the deimt, which was mutib in a horse-blanket, and went was at once passed to tbe throng by the urchins that Brown's bod; wue about to start. moment afterward the vehicle while a shout went up from the mulliiude that sounded like thunder in miniature.

Instanter the mob followed in pursuit. The driver of the vehicle urged his raw bom steed to the top of his gait, and after him ran the pHhting people, black and while, all intcrmitlgied in indiscriminate confusion. As as on. became blown'' others filled their places, and this inch teriba hly ludicrous scene was prolonged very nearly until the vehicle reached ihe amden By that time, how ever, it" followers had wearied, and the driver hav? ing received bis fee in advance, went about hie regu? lar business. The ruse was a perfect success, and entirely cleared the depot.

The body of Brown then leisurely und di eeiitlv removed, und conveyed to amdeu in a suita? ble vt hide, from which it was taken to the place of its destination. Itissaid. but we know rot with whai that when md the reach of medical students and conservative men, the Ixidy ot Brown will be hibited to the pcoj le of the towns through which it is lo pass.

He At this moment the of this village are tolling the deaih-knt-11 ot John Brown. Every one, except the Demoeiacy, and even many of them, wears a sad? dened countenance betokening the deep-settied sym Mlaty which they entertain for that but old man. John Brewn was known our citizens, having formerly resided within a few milee of this place, and was known to them as an al Ssomt of the rampant Democracy are gnash? ing teeth over this demoiuitration of to the martyr of liberty, and even have gone so tar as to advise the personal insult of those engaged in them, battering down of the with camion.

Andrew vom fur the I correctness of the explanation: It is within a few that I have seen printed "confession'" of John E.Cook. So far as i' re'ates to S. G. Howe, it is in words: I km vv that Dr. Howe gave Cant.

At what time and lor hat purpose they were given lo Capt.

Amutw. JOHN I KOWN MA1TKR IN Tllf. I.H.KI. tri KK. The following is 'he concluding portion of the bste in tbe Massachusetts Legpdature upon the John Drown matter: Mr.

Atwill of Lvun thought it was unnecessary for the House to express an opinion ujhjii John Brown I his acts, and that it ought to go on with the busi? ness of the session. I Mr. Robinson of Middleboro' was opposed to ad? journment, at any rate, und he was unwilling to say that John Drown was right, though he respected him, and thought bis motives were good. On this prim-is pie be hoped the preamble of tbe motion would struck out. Mr.

SiMitlord said he was surprised at the position of the gentleman from Maiden. He had seen a notice that he ould speak at a meeting tili? la honor af Drown. If Drown had done his duty, then it was proper lor the House to adjoitvu. The gentle i.nl ad said that this was not a political question. What else is it I he other dav a gentleman died in New-York iMr.

who had done more for ti i.iutitry than a million John Browns; but nobody proposed to do honor to him. It the House is disposed to do honor to John Brown and his acts, lei it do so manfully ami boldly. Eet no ntb nu who have likei.ed los gail? to the skulk behind any technicalities or any pretense that it is not a political question. Mr. in con tl usn know edged that he was in a heat, ami he thought there was need of it.

He was shaking for the Cnn und the Constitution us well as for his con eti'm nts. Mr. Wentwonh satirised Mr. Spofford'sexhibition of zeal tor the constitution and Cnion, but he thought it unnecessary. We are all for the Constitution and the I im n.

Without expressing auv opinion as to the pr? eise meaning of the it indorsed hn Drown arts, or merely praised his piety and fidelity to thought it not wise to adopt the preamble, or to adjourn. John Drown is to be exe? cuted to-day. Let rginia take the responsibility; anc let it not be said that she executed Drown on ac ensjal of the exhibitions of Northern sympathy for him. Mr. Griffin said the gentleman iMr.

Spofl'ord) seemed to infer a treasonable inl? nce in the resolution. It was not the legislature ot Massachusetts which enter? tains the treason. The telegraph tells ns daily where the treason is lurking. The gentleman from Newbury port can do no better hen bis services here are i than to make trucks for South Carolina. He called the gentlemiin's attention to the resolutions of the South Carolina Legislature, proposing to establish a South? ern Confederacy, and ihe rimarks of the Governor on if.

This furnishes a beautiful theme for the gentleman from New bury port. Where can his young head find greener pastures than this Why should he his breath here itb these fanatics when bis brethren of South Carolinaare willing to take up arms tor the overthrowing of thi? Constitution' Reis needed in South arolum. They are crying for him, as babies down town are said be crying tor worm lozenges. Mr. GriHm had high views of John Drown, and his value to the race, but this was not the place to express the-e views.

In other places it may In1 done. Had then- been a motion to adjourn out of respect to Wash? ington Irving he wonld have opposed it. He renewed the motion to indefinitely postpone. Mr. Tucker of Boston" condemned severely Drown's ieked and uncalled tor folly; he pitied bis rash Hands anna.

Pntdsaw if Mr. Oilnli was in Virginia he would not sneer at the meu of that State. It he as there he might not do it. Mr. Tucker railed the attention of ihe gentleman to the killing of Bate beider, nt the time of the Burns surrender, and alluded lo the Wnrcester County men surrendering their banner to two Boston I i imen, as showing their bravery.

What, be asked, is left to the Southern men to do, hu? to make a Southern I 'onf'ederacy I They are driven to it in self-defense. Rend the articles of the fanatical wanderings and ravings of the Boston press. Tbe Southern press is mild, compared with them. What good have all your ravings been to your Union; or what relief has it been to one slave1 Not any. But it has destroyed tbe peace of the country, and done only injury." The gemleman from Ixrwell, with his usual cunning, say its only John Brown and his seventeen followers.

I toes he mean to say Brown would have attempted it if be hadu promise of succor from without. He knows Drown wss prompted to it by the coward Dr. Howe and others. John Brown wait not insane us ho was said to be. There was method in his madness.

'Ihe nsnntsasBssj km-w better than to aav it was only John Brown and his seventeen followers. Mr. Went worth explained that he said Brown and his followers maden pitched battle and stood a regular siege. Mr. it's easv enough to do that, be? cause thev had taken the L'niled States Arsenal.

Mr. Heals of Wey mouth opposed the motion to ad Mr. Cpton of Salem moved the previous question. The hair derided that the motion to indefinitely was not in order. The ID use refused to adjourn al I o'clock.

The motion to strike out the preamale was carried by a te of DM to 3d. The question recurring on the motion to adjonrn, the House refused the Yeas and Nays, and then reject ad ti motion by a vote of ii Yeas HI Nays. CARD OF THE ILLI STRATED To Its Jailor y. Tribune. SiK: The special reporter who represented your iri.al at ('baric-town during the last few days of John Brown, made, no doubt unintentionally, an in? correct statement in regard to the representatives of the rees ho had any privileges extended to them at that place, by saying, Mr.

Leslie alone, having made explanations, dad been admitted to favor." As this statement is calculated to do us considerable injury, since it must necessarily give rise to ihe supposition that neither we nor tbe proprietors of other pictorial journals would be in a position to give any bat farrty sketibes of the se ries attending the execution, thank justified in appealing to your fairness to state, through the medium of your columns, that our artists met with every favor at "Charlestown, inas? much as they wete provided with documents to prove the very ptaceable purpose they went there for, and that, being enrolled among the military who sur? rounded ihe scutlold, they had ample opportunity to do at least as much aa any of their brother artists. We remain, gentlemen, roan, rery respectfully. j. WARNI.K CAMPHKLL A Cs. III utt rated Xnti.
