A letter to the .Pittsburgh Chronicle, from
Harper’s Ferry, says: ; ... ,
It was not known to me until yesterday, and
may possibly be unknown to you, that Colo ml
Robert E. Lee, IJ. S. Army, now General Lee,
Confederate forces, was one of the chief actors
' in the prologue to the tragic national dram:,
the different acts of which the whole country
has been watching with such exciting interest
for the past three years. It is, nevertheless
the fact, however. Let me tell you about it
briefly. ' “Old John Brown” -had not only
worked at the arsenal at Harper’s Ferry, but
tvas intimately acquainted with all the de
tails of the works, and knew, besides, what
building among the ruins of some fifty now
remaining, was the strongest for defence.
This was the engine house, and at ter mak
ing a little raid to HaUtown and capturiug Col.
Lewis Washington, among other slaveholders
of the Shenandoah Valley, he moved back to
the Ferry, and ensconced himself with his
twenty followers in this engine house. The
alarm 'throughout Harper’s FSrrv that night
was terrible, and during the whole of the fol
lowing live-long day Brown held his position,
and having made port-holes through the brick
Avails, shot several citizens who had the temerity
to show themselves about the building. The
lookers on were terror-stricken, and the two
thousand Virginia Militia men, with their Cap
tains, Colonels, and Generals, who' had as
sembled in the vicinity of John Brown’s strong,
told, not knowing the force that he really had
were completely non-plussed, and waited anx
iously for the Government troops from Wash
ington, who had been sent for.
By three o’clock the following morning,
sixty marines, under the immediate command
of Lient. Green, but directed by Col. Robert
E. Lee, reached the Ferry by cars, from the
capital. Col. Lee ordered his detail to stand
under arms in’ the public street till sunrise,
when he conducted the men, he himself leading
' them, to the front of the building fortified aud .
occupied by Brown. The lookers-on viewed
this soldierly movement with astonishmeut
and awe, expecting to see Colonel Lee shot
“down as other leaders had been. But not a
shot was fired. Lieutenant Green was ordered
to demand a surrender. He knocked at the
door of the engine house. John Brown asked,
“Who goes there?” “Lieut. Green, United.
States Marines, who, by authority of Col. Lee,
demands an immediate surrender.” “I refuse
It,” said Brown, “unless I, with my men, are
allowed to cross the bridge again into Maryland,
unmolested, after which you can take us pri
oners if you can.” Lee refused to allow this,
and ordered .Lieut. Green to renew his demand
for an immediate and unconditional surrender.
John Brown refused these terms, and four of
the marines, who had got tremendous sledge
hammers from the works, began battering at
the door of the engine house. The engine had
been moved against the door, and it would not
yield. “ Ten of you,” said Lee, “ take that
ladder and break down the door.” Five on
each side, the soldiers drove the ladder against
the door, and at the third stroke it yielded and
fell back. Gol. Lee and the marines jumped
In—one man John Brown shot through the
-heart—and then was overpowered and sur
rendered. Col. Washington, with other citi
zens, was released, and John Brown handed
over to the civil authorities, after which
Colonel Lee took the train to Washington
again.
And such is the historical episode which I
listened to last night from a citizen who was
liimself a witness to it. Who knows how much
it may have influenced Robert E. Lee to for
sake the flag of the United States and become
a chieftain in the rebel cause ?
Extbess Robber Convicted. —The trial of
A. P. Murphy, of Uniontown, Pa.; lately agent
of the Adams Express Company at that place,
took place last week, before Jndge Lindsay.
As young Murphy had previously occupi 3d a
fine position in society there, and as the amount
alleged to have been taken by him was over
$2,000, a great deal of interest was manifested,
and there was > a large attendance during the
trial. The testimony was very full and conclu
sive against the accused, and the jury had no -
difficulty in finding a verdict of- guilty. The
prisoner maintained an attitude of entire indif
ference during the trial. Upon the rendition
of the verdict, and the remarks aud sentence of
the Court, although he is not yet twenty-one
years of age, the Conrt stated to him that it
was evident he had accomplices who were more
guilty than he, and that if he would divulge
their names the sentence would be made as
light as possible. He refused to do so, and was
sentenced to imprisonment to the Penitentiary
for eighteen months. No part of the money
has been secured by the Company.

-L\ P., March 11, 1364. DR. SOHENCK—Dear
S.r: Se veral months since I was compelled to re
linquish active business pursuits in consequence
of a severe congh, contracted by exposure. I.
placed myself under the treatment of my family
physician for atime without apparent relief, and
he finally pronounced my lungs diseased, assuring
me that It was useless to seek relief from medicines.
Be informed me that the only means by which my
disease could be overcome was by seeking, through
stimnlatingfood and proper care, to reinvigorate
my system; that; if there was sufficient vigor left,
1 might thus regain ray health; otherwise, my case
was hopeless. At that time I was rapidly failing,
and many ofmv friends thought I was beyond all
hope. My cough was very severe, sometime* last
ing for nearly half an hour at a time, with a very
copious expectoration, olten accompanied with
blood. My appetite was very poor, and my stom
ach so extremely weak that I could scarcely eat any
food without being compelled to vomit immedi
ately thereafter.
Alter consulting various physicians without
success, a friend advised me to give your medi
cines a trial. In accordance with this advice I
visited yon, and the examination under your Re
spirometer proved very satisfactory, convincing
me that you understood my case perfectly. I en
tered upon the treatment prescribed, and in a short
time found great relief I am now enjoying greatly
improved health, my congh troubles me very lit
tle, myjsppetite isgood.andmy strength gradually
in ct easing.
It affords me pleasure to make this acknowledg
ment of the benefits I have derived -from the use of
your medicines, as well as to express my grati
tude therefor; and I ireely make this statement,
which you are at liberty to use as you may deem
proper, with the sincere hope that it may be the
means ol benefiting others who may he suffering
from the same disease. Yours, resp-cttuPy,

QIHE GREAT CENTRAL FAIR
UNITED STATES SANITARY COMMISSION
Office of the Committee on Laboc, Incomes
and Revenues, No. US South Seventh
Street, Fhiladelfhia. March is, 1561.
The Commiuee on ‘-Labor, Incomes and Reve
nues, ” invite co-operation with them in the
particular work lor which they have beeu ap.
pointed. As no portion of the people are more
patriotic than the working men and women of
the country, it is bat just and proper that they
should alike have an opportunity to contribute
to the objects of the Fair. The most equab'e
plan for accomplishing this, and, at the same
time the easiest one, is to ask for the contri
bution of a tinqlt dry’s labor from all classes in the
community. Many will contribute a day of their
labor willingly, who Would not subscribe their
money. Toreach every department of industry
and art will be a work of great.labor, but, if at
tained, will be productive of immense results
The success ol the plan will dqjffad upon the
hearty co-operation of every element of miluence
within onr limits, and we iuvite all the guardians
ol the indnstii, 1 imerests, and ail others, to lake
hold with us in furihering this great work of pa
triotism and humanity.
The Committee is charged with the following
duty, to wit:
First— To obtain the contribution of “one day’s
labor,” or earrings, from every artisan and la
borer, foreman, operative and employe; president,
cashier, teller and clerk of every incorpora'.ed and
unincorporated company, railroad and express
company, employing firm, bank, manufactory,
iron works, oil works, mill, mine and public of
fice; frem every private banker and broker; im
porter, anctieneerand merchant; clerk, agent aud
salesman: designer, finisher aud artist; publisher,
P’inier and mechanic; from every Government
officer, contractor, and employe; grocer, butcher,
baker and dealer; farmer, horticulturist, and pro
ducer; from every mantua-maker. milliner and fe
male operative; every individual engaged in tarn
ing the soil, ten ling the loom, or m any way earn
ing a livelihood, or building a fortune within the
States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Dela
ware.
.Second—'To obtain the contribution of ono day’s
‘•revenue’ ’ from all the greatemploying establish
ments, firms, corporations, companies, railroads
ana works.
BAXTER
Third— To obtain the contribntion of one day’s
Income from every retired person and person of
fortune, male and female, livingupon their means,
and from all clergymen, lawyers, physicians,
dentists, editors, authors, and professors; and all
other persons engaged in the learned or other pro
fessions.
Much of this ■work roust be performed by the
personal influence and effort* of ladies aod geutie
men associated, or to be associated, with the Com
mittee in canymg out the plan.
The Committee feel the responsibility of the work
'they have undertaken, which, to be successful,
will require a very perfect ramification of their .
plan, and they therefore call npon all earnest peo
pie to assemble themselves together inevery town,
township and county and form organizations of
ladies and gentlemen to co-operate with them in
this great weik and labor of love. In the mauu.
lacturing counties, the coal and oil regions, audin
the agricultural districts, especially, let there be
organizations .in the larger towns, so that the
young people may have an opportunity thus to
render assistance to their relatives and friends
fighting the battles of their country in the armies of
the nationX
The workyf this Committee, may be prosecuted
where n o other effort csjn be made for the Fair, as in
the mines of/thecoal regions. A day’s earnings
of the mlueije, and a day’s product of the mines
can be obtained, where no portable article could be
procured fortransportation. Indeed, there is no
part or section of these States where the
labor may not be obtained, if organizations can be'
termed to reach them.
The Committee cannot close without urging
npon all proprietors of establishments the duty of
taking prompt and energetic action to secure the
benefit of the day of labor from all within their
control.
The Committee deem it unnecessary to do more
than thus to present the subject to the people of the
three States named. In the coming campaigns of
onr armies the labors of the Sanitary Commission
will be greatly augmented. By the first of June,
700, CRH I men—one of the largest armies of modern
times—will be opera’ing in the field. So large a
force, scattered over regions to which the men are
unacclimated, must necessarily carry along with
it a large amount of sickness, safferingand death,
to say nothing of the gathered horrors of the
battle-field.
These sufferings it is onr bounden duty, as men
and Christians, to relieve.. A great and enlightened
p*ople, enjoying the blessings of a Government of
their own making, cannot retuse assistance to men
suffering to maintain its authority, and we will not
believe that the
GREAT CBNTRAL PAIR,
drawing its products from the three States of
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, so
aflluentm all mineral, agricultural and industrial
wealth, shall fall behind any similar effort which
has yet been made for the relief of the nation’s
children. . -
As it is dssirable not to multiply circulars, no
further authority than this circular will be neces
rary for any employing firm or company, or any
respectable committee of ladies and gentlemen to
proceed at once in the work of this committte.
Subscriptions will be immediately acknowledged
in the newspapers of Philadelphia, and it is very
desirable that they commence at once, as each fresh
acknowledgment wilj stimulate further effort.
All subscriptions should be addressed to John
W. Claghorn, Treasurer, Office of the Committee,
