Bayaud Taylor and Infidelity
The last number of the Presbyterian con
tains & well timed editorial article,; and a
communication, in to Bayard
Taylot’s lecture on .life of Baron Von
Humboldt. Htthlboldt was an infidel, not
withstandlnghis researches into the hid
den mysteries of nature, and was particu
larly .sarcastic in his writings, when refer
ring th the Christian religion of the world.
The Icotitfo of Taylor is condemned in the
articles referred to hccapse he embraces
every' opportunity \to repeat those sar
casmsj and cfocs it in such a way as to in
duce the belief that he is partly an infidel
himself, and bis lectures arc condemned
because they tend to cost reproach upon
christ(ani(y and present infidelity in a
flattering light. It is to be lamented that
such should be the case, and that so
popular and promising a lecturer, as Bay
ard: Taylor has become, should thus de
stroy and the confidence of
the people. - ‘

Br»vra?s Execution.
We copy the following from the tele
graphic reports from Charlestown in rela
tion to the execution of old John Brown
which took:place on Friday last; —
.At an early hoar the town was m nto*6 ihan
usual sdiv even for the stirring times that have'
fallen upon thiftneighborhood. Soonthe move
ments ofthe military drewall the citiaens of
tire place and all others who had been able to
gain admittance to the town to the, vitjpity of
the place assigned for the execution.
The prisoner .was brought out of,jail at eleven
o’clock. Before leaving be bid adieu to all his
fellow-prisoners, and was very affectionate to a l l
except Cook. He charged Cook with haring
deceived and misled him in relation to the sup
port be was to receive from the slaves. He
said he was led by him to believe they were rife |
for insurrection, but he had found that bis repj
resentations were false. Cook denied the charge {
and made but little reply to Brown. The 11
prisoner then told the sheriff he was ready, <
when his arms were pinioned, and he walked to I
the door apparently calm and cheerful. He I
wore a black slouch hat and the same clothes I
Worn during his trial, j As be came out he was
taken under guard ofthe military. Six com
panies of infantry and one troop of horse, with
Gen. Taliaferro and his entire staff were deploy
ed in front of the jail.
At the door of the jail an open wagon, with „a
pine box in which was a fine oak coffin, was
waiting for him. He looked around and spoke
to several persons whom be recognized, and
walking down the steps, was Assisted to enter
the wagon, and took bis seat on the box con
taining his coffin, along with Jailor Avis. He
looked with interest on the fine military display
but made no remark. The wagon moved on as
soon ns he had taken’ bis seat, flanked with two
files of riflemen in close order.
On reaching the field the military had already
full possession, and pickets were stationed at
various points. The citizens were kept back at
the point of of the bayonet from taking any posi
tion except that assigned them—nearly a quar
ter of a mile? from the scaffold. Through tho
determined persistence of Dr. Rawlings, of
Frank Leslie’s paper, the order excluding the
press was partially rescinded, and the reporters
were assigned a position near the General’s
staff.
The prisoner walked up the steps firmly, and
was the first man on the gallows. Jailor Avis
and Sheriff Campbell stood by his side, and af
ter shaking hands and bidding an affectionate
adieu thanked them for their kindness, lie then
put the cap over his face and the rope around
his neck. Mr. Avis then asked him to step for
ward on the trap. He replied, “You must lead
me for I cannot, see.” The rope now being ad
justed, and tho military order given, the sol
dier’s marched and countermarched, and took
their position as if an enemy was in sight. : —
Nearly ten minutes was thus occupied, the pris
oner standing meanwhile. Mr. Avis inquired if
\he was not tired. ■ Brown replied, “No ; but
don’t keep me waiting longer than necessary.”
At fifteen minutes past eleven the trap fell.—
A slight grasping of the hands and twitching of
the, muscles was visible, and then all was quiet.
The body was several times examined, and his
pulse did not cease beating for thirty-five min
utes. It was then cut’ down and placed in the
coffin, and conveyed under a military escort to
the depot, and thero put in a car to be conveyed
to Harper’s Ferry by a special train at four o’-
clock. The whole arrangements were carried
out with a precision and military strictness that
was most an noyipg.
The general conviction is everywhere enter
tained that the rumors of intended rescue were
altogether an egregious hoax.
This morning Capt. Brown executed an in
strument empowering Sheriff Campbell to ad
minister on all property of his in this State,
with directions to pay over the proceeds of the
sale of his weapons, if recovered, to his widow
and children.
BROWN’S INTERVIEW WITH HIS FKLLOW-PEIBOSEB3.
Sheriff Campbell bid the farewell in
his cell, and Brown returned his thanks to him
for his kindness, and spoko of Captain Pate as
a brave man. Ho was then conducted to the
cells of his fellow-prisoners, desiring to ta kehis
leave of them. Entering the cell of Cope land
and Green, he told them to stand up like men
and not betray their friends. He handed each
a quarter of a’dollar, saying that he had no
more use for money, and having said this, he
bid them a final farewell.
Next he visited Cook and Copple, who were
chained together. Addressing Cook, he re
marked, ‘‘You have made false statements.”
Cook asked, “ What do you mean ?” Brown re
plied, “ Why in stating that I sent you to Har
per’s Ferry.” Cook replied, “Did you not tell me
in Pittsburgh to come to Harper’s Ferry and see
if Forbes had made disclosures ?” Capt. Brown.
“No sir! You know I protested against your
coming.” To this Cook only responded : “ Cap
tain Brown, we remember differently.” As he
said this he dropped his head, and Brown, as if
in contempt, turned away, and addressing Cop
pie, said : “ Coppie, you also made false state
ments, but I am glad to hear you have contra
dicted them. Stand, up like a man. ” Brown
also handed Copie a quarter, and then shaking
both by the hand, parted with them.
The prisoner was then taken to Stevens’ cell,
and kindly interchanged with him a good bye.
Stevens said Good bye. Captain—l know
you are going to a better land.” Brown repli
ed:—“l know I am,” and urged Stevens to bear
up, and not betray bis friends. He also gave
Stevens a quarter, and then took leave of him.
He did not visit Hazlctt, as he always persisted
in denying any knowledge of him.
CAPT. BROWS OS IXIB WAY TO EXECUTION
On his way to the scaffold, Mr. Sadler, the
undertaker, remarked to Capt. Brown, “ You
are a game man, Captain.” To which Captain
Brown replied: “ Yes, I was so trained—it was
one of the lessons of my mother; but it is hard
to part from friends, though newly made'.”
Then he remarked—“ This is a beautiful coun
try—l never Bad the pleasure of .seeing it be
fore.” On reaching the field in which the gal
lows was erected, Brqwn said; “ Why are none
but military allowed in the enclosure ? lam
sorry the citizens have been kept out.”
As he reached the gallows he observed Wm.
Hunter and Mayor Green ‘ standing near, to
whom he said, “Gentlemen good-bye;” his voice
not faltering i© the least,, . While on the scaffold
Sheriff Campbell asked if he would fake a hand
kerchief in bis hand to drop as a signal when he
was.rbady; He replied, “No—l do not.vrant
it; but do not detain me any longer than is ac
tually necessary.”

Such is the price paid in i England for the
