We had a fresh influx of mllliary reeierday via: one company from Norfolk, one from rortiniotitD, one from two one from 300 in ait. Ttae entire force now statloned here is supposed to exceed 1 think them vastly able to repel any bedyof abuliuonists that can begotten togetber.

ini although there have been of rumors in cirenlation, I very much doubt whether any force that ever have been raUfHi lor the rescue ol fifuwn, could, by possibility, have been brought up to a figure one-fifth part of this. We see that even tor the small body of men which he was enabled to assemble, be fonnd a difficulty in procuring the sinews of war. His employera looked upon his enterprise, very evidently, as a speculation, and they were not prepared to embark in it, until it shonld have proved decidedly The spirit of evil ted Brown on, until he bad gone the length of murder and treason, and then it deserted him altogether. 1 have not the least idea that he Knew or imagined what a storm he I iwmhi or thai be would fiad ju beyond the possibility of rescue. He had been in the habit of making incursions into Missouri, where he stole horses and ran oil negroes with impunity, and he fancied he could do the same thing, or even worse, here, lie found himself wolully mistaken, and he pays a penalty which it is impossible that he could have avoided for any great length of lime, under any circumstances.

Nc man ever led such a lite as he did, without ending it on the gallows. I dread no'hing that, auy friends hlB wi in lhe way ol direct What excites my indignation more than any thing else, is the sympathy he has met with at the North. They have laws there for the punishment of then and murder. Theit and murder are regarded there as very bad things. Hut the fact, that Southern men were the victims, in this instance, eutirely alters the nature of the crime, and perpetrator a saint, while the victims are denounced as worthy of any doom, no matter how The difficulty of iiviug under the same government with such people, mnst be very great and it is increasirg every year.

With the Albemarle company, as a member, came Mr W. W. Gilmer, so that the elders are turning out in all directions. 1 think it a good sign, and I think it would be very hard to conquer a country in which age takes the field along with youth, in defence of their common rights. Mr.

Gilmer paid us a visit this evening, being an old friend of our captain, as well the person who sends you this le.ter. Having been called on for aspeech lie made one full of most enterlainiug matter, winding up with a high eulogium upon our commander, who was not present, and whom he bad know from his childhood. Your bumi le servant having been called up, made a few remarks upon matters and things in general, and oid Brown in particular, lie was succeeded by Mr. Win. F.

Watson, in one of those witty pleasant little off-hand speeches which tew persons can make with mt'ch eftect, and of which you have doubtless more than one before this. It may be proper to remark here, that Mr. Watson, who, as well us myself, had to stand some pretty hard hits on the score of his age, is as effective a soldier as any in this company He shrinks trom no duty that is imposed on the rest ol the company, and he discharges ail with the alacrity of youth. Besides this, he keeps the company always in a good humor, by his continual saliies of wit, and is the darling of the men. Ido not see how we could without him.

We pairoled on Sunday night, as I told you, for six hours, an hour and a half and then resting for fifteen minutes at a some of the roughest ground, the greater part of it, this side of the mountains, and lioth he and I stood it as well as the best of them. At the close of it, we broke into the Shanghai trot, and we kept up, though we had been marching so long. This morning we were both upbefore thatyou see the old boys are no so easy to be be ueii as might be imagined. Perhaps this is ihe proper place to express my sense of the kindness which 1 have met with at the hands of this company. I do not believe such a body of well-bred, kind-hearted young men, was ever collected together in one military company.

They treat both Mr. Watson and myself as though they were near relatives. 1 really believe the majority of them would go without any convenience, rather than see us without it. Their politeness is almost painful. Whenever I pass near, tne occupants of camp chairs invariably rise and offer them to me.

I think they would go with, ut a bed rather than suffer Mr. W. or myself to sleep on the floor. Admirable material for a company, is it not They are all, to a man, devoted to our Captain, and take any rebuke lor neglect of discipline in the best possible s. irit.

They are determined to make themselves a crack company, and for that reason submit to discipline in ilie most commendable spirit. Best of all, I have not heard one word of swagger from the lips ol any of them. They boast that they mean to exterminate the abolitionists if they cume, which 1 think is a very good symptom In my opinion, if they should ever called on to flsrht for their country, they will not be found inferior to others. Uur presence here has been productive of, at least, one beneficial consequence. It has exploded the rocket humbug.

I have no doubt that had many of the reports which for the moment agitated the whole country, been irivestigated, they would have been found to be entirely baseless. In such a state of affairs as that connected with Old Brown, rumors of this kind are sure to prevail, and it is only by the most minute examination that the truth or falsehood of what they import can be ascertained. It was Mr. Watson, not Captain Randolph, who discovered the true character of the alleged rockets. A humbug was exploded, if no rockets.

It is said that we shall go home next Saturday. Ido not know whether this be true or not. We have fim sometimes in the camp. The other evening a cart full of bold volunteers, drawn by a mule, passed through the streets The cart was so full that, the leader of the party had to take his seat upon tlie mule, and there he sat urgiug on the animal with exemplary pertinacity. We thought of Bacchus, only our volunteer was not a jolly, little, halt tipsy God, with a pudding bag for what is supposed to be the stomach, but a large, powerful young man, perfectly sober.

The spectacle attracted general attention, and caused much merriment. It resembled scenes I saw iu my younger days in New Orleans during the Carnival, whvu every kind of ludicrous transformation is practiced, as you are well awure. The Cadets left their quarters and marched down the street yesterday. Thecheering which their admirable discipliue produced was tremendous, and it lasted until they got to the end of their march. They are great pets here with everybody.

p. Four companies of U. S. troops, from Fort Monroe, under the command of Col. Lee, passed through Washington, yesterday, for Harper's Ferry.

They take their camp equippage, tents, guns, with them, is presuiced, will remain at the Ferry until the execution of Old Brown and his Several detachments of soldiers, to the number of about 100, from Richmond, Petersburg and Alexandria, passed through Washington, Tuesday, and took the morning train for Harper's Ferry. The Oharlestown correspondents of tbe Baltimore papers give the following, under date of the '29th As the day fixed for the execution of John llrown approaches, the excitement grows more general aud inteuse, and, although yesterday's proceedings were without incidents of importance, still the crowd present filled our streets, and eager inquiries were constantly made as to the latedfcnews and the condition of Brown's mind, as he approaches his now certain fate. Large numbers of ladies from the country were present, whilst the almost entire female population witnessed the parade in the afternoon. The morning train from Winchester brought dowu the Valley Guards, Oapt. Gibbons, 63 men, from Harrisonburg, Ya.

With the company came Capt. Eschman's cornet band, which discoursed most excellent music, not tbe least attractive of which was tbe performance of Master Albert, an infant drummer, seven years of age, who is certaiuly a able child. Tbe Valley Guards have been organized bnt a few months, yet their ranks were full, and they marched with soldierly precision. Amongst tbe members of tbe company I noticed John I). Penny backer.

State Senator, and Lieut. Samuel T. Walker, member elect of the Virginia House of evening train of caw brought another large instalment of military, cunsistingof the Portsmouth National Grays, CI Woodls Eiftemtu. West Augusta Guards. 6U; Monticello Mountain Guards, ailbeing la Una condition.

It may, there, fore, be expected that there will not fee leu than two tbooeand troops here by Fridays- Such a force baa never, within the knowledge of the oldest inhabitant," been assembiSd in ibis section of Virtfaia. The Cadets from the Institate, anHkim. mand of Major Gil lata, bad a yesterday, near town, which attracted a targe number of persons.

The are a iboro ugh ly drilled corps, aad their efforts on this occasion received the plaudits of the crowd. They number about eighty, and vary in ages frcin 17 to 22 years. In the afternoon a dress parade took place of tne First 001. August, in which the Cadets took part. The almost perfect execution of the various orders received the commendation of all.

A large number of strangers from other counties were In town yesterday, ammgst whom was Judge Richard Parker. Mr, O. Jennings Wise, the editor of the Richmond Enquirer, aisu arrived yesterday.and took bis place in the ranks ef Company F. The following is a copy of a genuine letter received at our post-office. The letter is authentic beyond question, as the main facts can be corroborated by a number of persons now here.

It will be read to John Brown this morning: To John Brown, Commander of the Army at Harper's Ferry, Onarlestowu, Jefferson county, Va. Care of Jailor, Charlestown. I kattnnoga, Nov. 20, 1659. Jno.

Although vengeance is ncrt mine, I confess that Ido leel gran fled to hear that you were stopped in your ffendiab career at Harper Ferry with the loss of your twe sons. You can now appreciate my distress in Kansas, when you then and there entered my house at midnight and arrested my husband and two boys, aud took them out of the vard, and in cold blood shot them dead ia my hearing. You can't say you dono it to free our slaves; we had none and never expected to own one, but has only made me a poor, disconsolate with helpless While I feel for your folly, I do and trust you will meet your just reward. Oh, how it pained my heart to hear the dying groans of my husimnd and children. If this scrawl gives you any consolation, you are welcome to it.

Mauau Doyle. N. son John Doyle, whose life I begged of you, is now grown up, and is very desirous to be at Charlestown on the day of your execution; would certainly be there if his would permit it, that he might adjust ttie rope around your neck, .1 Gov. Wise would permit. M.D.

A parly of gentlemen at once subscribed the amount, but the letter being detained, it was ascertained young Doyle could not arrive iu time. It is said that Brown stated to a gentleman yesterday that be had now no hopeof a rescue, but that it was well the authorities had taken snch precaiivious, as his "boys" would never have permitied him to lemain there if ther had been any hope of a rescue. It also said that Brown received a letter a few days ago from his son, who informed him that there was noliopeofa rescue, owing to the military demonstration which had been made. The following is a copy of a proclamation issued yesterday by the officers in command pursuance of instructions from theOovernor of Virginia, notice is hereby given to all whom it may cuncern, that, as heretofore, particularly from now until after Friday next, the-2nd of found within the county of Jefferson, and counties adjacent, having no known and prolyl'business here, and who cauiiotgive asatisfactory account of themselves, will be at once arrested. Tuat on, and for a proper period bef that day, strangers, and especially parties, approaching under the pretext of being present at the execution of John Brown, whether by railroad or otherwise, will be met by the military and turned back or arrested without regard to the amount of force, that may lie required to effect this, and during the said period, aud especially on the 2d of December, the citizens ot Jefferson and the surrounding country are emphatically warned to remain at their homes armed and guard their own property.

Information received from reliable sources, clearly indicates that by so doing they will best consult their own interests. No women or children will be allowed to come near the place of execution. W. B. Taliaferro, Maj.

All applications for passes for civilians attend within the military lines are refused by the Governor, on the gr und that it would conflict with the military programme, lie said that no civilian could, under any be admitted within the military lines, the outer one of which would be nearly a mile from the scaffold. Not a word of what Joh Brown may utter, if he should say anything, will, therefore, be audible to the men forming even the line next the gallows. Gov. Wise stated the cause of this exclusion of all persons other than the military to be. that in the event of an attempted rescue an order to fire upon the prisoner will be given, and that those within th.e lines, especially those sufficiently near the gallows to hear what Brown may say, would inevitably share fate.

This will give you an idea of what the authorities of Virginia think of this The imposing solemnity of the occasion will indicate to the North the feeling here on this matter. The Frederick (Md.) Herald Leesburg Cavalry, Captain Daniel T. Shreve commanding, have been ordered to guard the different fords and passes upon the Potomac river. The company has been divided into four platoons, stationed" at Edward Ferry, Conrad's Ferry, Noland's Ferry, and the Potomac bridge at the Point of Cocks. The men are neatly and thoroughly equipped and present a warlike appearance, being ar.ned with the improved Minnie rifle.

This precautionary force, we understand, will be continued until after the execution of John Brown and his followers, which is right and proper." A letter from Charlestown states that Barnum has an agent there, and offered Brown 910(1 for his clothes and pike, and his certificate of their genuineness. The Charlestown Democrat of yesterday, says: To show the appreciation of the negroes for old Brown and his band, in volunteering to tree them, and how much thankfulness they exhibit for the efforts of these villains in their behalf, we stale the fact, that a number of the negroes in our midst have volunteered to execute him, for the reason that he is "too mean for white men to hang him."

Aa Iceberg Eight Miles The ship Uncowab, which arrived at San Francisco on the 23d of October, from New York, passed a mammoth iceberg about fifty miles to the sonth of Gape Horn, as late as the oth of August. in a description of ibis "wonder of the deep," says: The great berg was seen first by the second officer, from the deck, abont uoon of the 9th of August. It was then a mere glittering hummock on the horizon ahead. Capt.

Kirby at first could not believe that it was ice, and thinking be might have been drifted to the northward during the several days in which he had not been able to get an observation, set it down as an islaud covered with snow. The wind was from the eastward, aud the ship going at the rate of eight knots, she soon brought the whole body above the horizon, and not long after the ice was found to stretch along the whole ahead, and on the weather bow. The course of the ship was then altered, so as to bring the ice on the lee bow, and gradually, as the bearings altered, five icebergs of various sizes were made out. The ship passed within a few miles to the windward of them. One was very lofty, about the sine of Angel Island, which Capt.

Kirby thinks it resembled somewhat in shape, but was much higher- Others stood as though de ached masses of the gTat berg. This monster is estimated to have been Irom eight to teu miles long, and very did mass of ice, a gainst which the sea broke, as upon the iron-bound shores of a continent. At four miles distar.f the water about the ship was agitated with eddies and ripples, caused by the opposing presence of so Jarre a body to the usual ocean The sides along which lhe ship parsed appeared to be precipitous up for more than a hundred feet from the water, when they broke towards fhe peaks in the interiorof lhe and jwu the steeps Lhe spy-glass showed the existence ol great gullies aud water-courses. When the sun shone full upon the Island it reflected the light with great brilliancy. The island being ol such sine it seemed to be nearly stationary, but must have been drifting slowly with the current, which there sets to the N.

N. E. Some ol the smaller bergs assumed a light blue appearance. No dirt, trees or vegetable matter could be seen upon any of them. The day was clear, ar.d afforded a flue view of the islaud.

It was a majestic spectacle, which those who witnessed it will not soon forget The one described by Dana in his 'Two Years Hefore the Mast," was much smaller than It was late iu the afternoon when the Uncowah arrived. About six o'clock a large English packetship, under a cloud of canvas, hove in sight, steering to the eastward, and astern and to Reward of her a bark Captain Kirby displayed his siguals, reading, "ice which lhe ship acknowledged by immediately bauliug up to the northward towards Cupe Horn, and the bark, though too far dMant to read the signals, took 'he alarm and followed suit. The ice was directly iu the track ol vessels bound to the eastward. A New Soubck of PittsbtTg, papers state that there is considerable excitement in that region of country, respecting a subterranean reservoir of oil which has been recently discovered. Companies are engaged in digging wells to obtain the oil.

Whpn procured in its crude state, it sell? for cents jier gallon. It does not coit more to pump it up than 1 cent per gallon, and cents more per gallon will pay for barrels aud trans porta tio to Pittsburg, New York or Philadelphia.

LOCAL Meeting nf pursuance of notice published in the city meeting of the merchants interested in tbe Imports. tion of Fo reign direct to fort, was held at tbe Merehauta' Insurance Office, terday, and was more largely attended than any similar meeting we have ever seen In Richmond. Every importing and wholesale house bad its repiesentatives present, and ail seemed ready to take such action as would speedily eusure tbe consummation of tlieir wishes.

At 12 o'clock the meeting was called by Mr. George J. Sumner, on whose motion IXokace L. Kkkt, E-q was chosen Chairman, ud Mr. II K.

Fcllkn appointed Secretary. Mr. Kent, on taking the chair, stated the object of the meetii gto be, to take the necessary steps to bring about a direct trade betWeea Virginia and Europe. He that some friend of the measure was prepared to offer a plan fur consideration. Mr.

George J. Sumner then the following i ream Me and resolutions, which be hoped would not end as other efforts bad done, in merely adopting resolutions. For htmsell, be was prepared to make sacrifice-, and he believed not only bis fellow-merchants, but tbe entire community, were equally prepared to make sacrifices for the South. Tbe preamble and resolutions read thus: Whtreas, in the opiuion of t'tis ni etin: the time arrived when the meronantsof thisricj should sslaraa practicable, their ci and that those now en. in the importation of foreii rh mil unite to ether for ttte purpose of Itirent Trade; and whereas it is tnat a lftr uroport on of the now rted by our merchint' are landed of tbe Nor'heri.

Mr. L. W.

laze brook made a motion that a committee of seven be appointed, to whom the preamble and resolutions should be referred, to be reported upon. He did not think the meeting had hadsuflicieiit time to lelleet upon the importance of the step about to be taken. He hojied that if the resolutions were referred, thai he would not be placed upon the committee Mr. J. B.

Ferguson seconded the motion to reler. lie wished to have calm ai.d considerate action on the subject of Direct Trade, and was always ready to ai in effecting it, but lie did not wish to be placed iu a siiion to be injured in busiin ss when no good could be effected. If he took a pledge, the effect of which was to close his doors, lie would stand by it to the biiterend. and tor that reason he wished to see every act of the meeting calmly weighed. Mr.

S. M. Price was not a direct importer, but was largely interested in the dry ifoodbusiness. lie wa-s oppo-ed to referring the resolutions, believing that the meeting coulo do nothing less than tuey recommended, if they did anything. Mr.

W. Q. faiue was opposed to referring. The resolutions were plain and practical, fciKt couid readily be understood aud acted upon by practical men. Mr.

W. G-. Crenshaw opposed the resolutions, because tliey did not go far enough. The motion being put to vote, the meeting refused to reter Mr. Geo.

W. Smith did not attend the meeting to adopt resolutions, but to put down the name oi his firm lor the purchase of to run between the waters of Virginia and Liverpool. Mr. A. K.

Parker did not think that goods ought to lie ordeied fn Europe through an agent residing in New York. It that plan were to be adopted, then we had well purchase the goods there. Li us either ordei direct from the inanulectuiers, or through a Southern agency. Mr. J.

B. Ferguson yielded to no man In devotion to the South and her institutions, but he was not prepared to take the step suggested by the gen tii-man vvlio preceded There were foreign agencies at the North, where laige samples cunldbeseen and selec tions matte, and he could see no impropriety in giving orders to those agents. Mr. G. W.

Smith was ready lo cut loose fruin rhe North at once, however great the sacrifice no man in the meeting would stiller greater inconvenience to hie business than won Id his firm. Mr. Summ-r was lor firm, united Ho could see nothing in the resolutions wliich the meeting ought to object resolve ilia; every one present was not prepared to By united action a direct trade could be effected, and that, too, without any i-erious sacrifices to the itnpor ers. His branch of business would sutler most, but 'hose lie represented were ready and willing for the sacrifice. Mr.

Win. de Yoss conld see no difficulty in the way. It was only necessary to purchase packets, at a costol we could then have a vessel sailing lrom Liverpool every mouth in the year. The exports were already sufficiently large to support the line, and whena cai'iro of goods could not be made up at Liverpool, the vessel could be freighted with irou, which would readily sell oil its arrival here. Mr.

Glazebrook hoped that the resolutions would yet be referred 10 a committee, as they uid not go tar enough to meet the viewsuf persons present The Chairman stated that they would only be relerred ai'er a reconsideration. Mr. Faine, to give the meeting an opportuniiy of having the reference, moved a reconsideration of the vote taken. The motion was put to vote, and the meeting refused to reconsider. The question was then Liken on the preamble mid resolutions, and they were adopted.

The Chairman appointed tue following gentlemen a committee of three to report the arrangement to be signed: Messrs. Q-kohok J. Si'mxku, A. L. Ellktt, and John Mr.

Southern Board of Directors of the Richmond and Danville Railroad held a meeting at their office in this city yesteTdav, aud adopted a preamble aud resolution, the object ol which is to eucourage and stimulate home enterprise and industry, aud to cut off all trade with the Northern or free Siates. This action is one step in the right direction towards establishing Southern iude pendence, aud if followed up by the people and the Legislature of Virginia, will do more build up manufactures our midst than all the speeches and addresses that can be made and written tiWdoomsday. Let us resolve to wear Southern cloths, to rely on J-oniheru factories for supplies, to husband our means, aud to go to work to help ourselves, and we shall then have no need for Yankee notions and Yankee manufactures.
