Blackwood's magazine.
This sterling monthly publication for Oc
tober has been received, ft is, as usual,
filled with matter of the highest order. It
would not be an easy matter to put one's An
ger on a duli number of this famous period
ical, and when we announce, as we do now,
the publication of a new number, the reader
may look for at least one paper, the perusal
ol which will be worth his while. We
have no intention or time to canvass the
different articles in the present issue, which
offer the usual variety; but we cannot re
frain from calling attention to, and soliciting
a careful perusal of the abstract from CAFT.
SFEKE'S JOURNAL, in this and the number for
September, giving the details of a journey in
Central Africa, made by him in conjunction
with Lieut. BURTON. Traversing districts
before untrodden by the white man, that of
ficer,having entered Africa on the east coast,
worked up to the northward and westward,
■o me mountains or tne Moon, and in tneir
vicinity has discovered a vast lake or island
sea, to which he has given the name of
"Victoria Nyanza," and which there is
every reason to believe is the long-sought
Fountain of the Kile. This Lake is situated
exactly on the Equator; and its position and
the formation of the country lend much prob
ability to the suggestion.
We cannot produce, nor will we pretend
to, in this brief notice, Capt. SFEKE'S argu
ment on the subject, but we must refer for
the details to the number itself. A continu
ation is promised, which will probably
throw still further light on the solution of
this most interesting problem. An age
which has witnessed the discovery of the
two other famous geographical enigmas, the
mouth of the Niger and the North West Pas
sage, will certainly not much longer be baf
fled by the few miles yet remaining to con
nect the explorations of the Nile from the
North with the recent discoveries of travel
lers pushing up from the South.

THE prisoners of the Harper's Ferry trag
edy are pretty badly wounded, Brown and
Elevens being unable to stand without as
sistance. Brown has three sword stabs in
his body and ope sabre cut over the head.
Stevens has three ball wounds in his head,
two ir. his breast, and one in his arm. He
was also cut on the fore-head with a rifle
bullet, which glanced off, leaving a danger
ous wound. It is thought '.hat all but Capt
Brown will make a full confession.
It is stated that Capt. Brown's object in
refusing counsel was, that if he had counsel
he would not be allowed to speak himself,
aud Southern counsel would not be willing
to express his views in the matter.
Wt learr. from the Danville Democrat that
the new Rolling Mill, of William Hancock,
is rapidly approaching completion. It is
represented as being a beautiful frame buil
ding, handsomely and substantially erected,
120 feet long and 75 feet wide. The main
timbers rest on cast iron seats to prevent
rotting, and which adds much to their
strength. The doors are hung on cast iron
weights, swinging on pulleys. The roof is
covered with slate, and the whole building
is to be handsomely painted. The erection
of this building has been under the super
vision of J. K. Mitchel, upon whom reflects
much credit as a skillful and ingenious ar
chitect and builder.
KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.— Our table has
been graced with the presence of this mag
azine for November, and it is truly an excel
lent number. This is one of the best peri
odicals extant. Every expression which
would not have a tendency to interest or in
struct the mind appears to be absolutely re
jected from its pages. Some of the very
best talent this country affords is employed
in enriching this work. This Magazine is
in 'lis forty Jourtk volume, and certainly stands
pre-eminent among oiher like publications,
receiving a most liberal support which it so
justly merits. It is published by JOHN A.
GRAY, New York. The price of this valua
ble periodical is S3 per annum in advance, i
or twenty-live cents a number, postage paid
by the subscriber.
THE trial of Brown at Harper's Ferry wasi
concluded on Monday last. The jury found
him guilty of treason, advising, conspiring
with slaves and others to rebel, and for
murder in the first degree.
Mr. Chilton, Brown's counsel, moved an
arrest of judgment, both on account of the
errors in the indictment and errors in the
verdict. The prisoner has been tried for an
offence not appearing on the record of the
Grand Jury, so it appears. The verdict was
not on each count separately, but a general
verdict on the whole indictment. The pris
oner has also been found guilty of both
counts for murder of the same persons. It
was manifest he could not be guilty of both.
These points will be argued by counsel on 1
both sides.
Brown was so as to be able to sit up in
his bed while the verdict was being read.—
On hearing it he lay quickly down. He
has since been removed to jail.
THE trial of Coppee, one of the Harper's
Ferry insurrectionists, is progressing, with
Griswold and Hoyt as counsel. The pris
oner, it is stated, seems calm and composed.
THE Republican papers are trying their
hands at making it appear that Capt. Brown,
of Kansas notoriety, is or was crazy at the
lime he commenced the late insurrection at
Harper's Ferry. What inconsistency!
AFTER SHERIFF CAMPBELL read the com
mitment ol the prisoners—Brown, Coppee,
and others—charged with treason and mur
der, Mr. Harding, the State Attorney, asked
that the Court might assign counsel for the
prisoners if they had none ; whereupon the
Court inquired it the prisoners had counsel,
when Brown addressed the Court in the fol
lowing manner:
"I did not ask for any quarter at the time
I was taken. I did not ask to have my life
spared. The Governor of the State of Vir
ginia tendered me his assurance that 1
should have a fair trial, and under no cir
cumstances whatever will I be able to at
tend to a trial. If you seek my blood, you
can have it at any moment without the
mockery of a trisl. I have no counsel. I
have not been able to advise with any one.
1 know nothing about the feelings of my
fellow prisoners, and I am utterly unable to
attend in any way to my own defence My
memory don't serve me. My health is in
sufficient, although improving. There are
mitigating circumstances, if a fair trial is to
be allowed us,that 1 would urge in our favor,
but if we are to be forced, with the mere
form ol a trial to execution, you might spare
yourselves that trouble. lam ready for my
fate. Ido not ask a trial. I beg for no
mockery of a trial—no insult, nothing but
that which conscience gives or cowardice
would drive you to practice. I ask to be
excused from the mockery of a trial. Ido
not know what the design of this examina
tion is. Ido not know what is to be the
benefit of it to the Commonwealth? I have
IMo lu ark Oihci than that I D 6 not
foolishly insulted, as the cowardly and bar
barous insult those who fall into their pow
er."
The Court assigned Charles J. Faulkner
and Lawson Bolts as counsel for the prison
er.
Mr. Faulkner, after consulting the pris
oners, said—"l was about to remark to the
the Court that, although I feel at ary time
willing to discharge any duty which the
Court can legally, by authority of the law,
devolve upon me. lam not, in the first
place, aware of any authority which the
Court has, sitting as an examining Court, to
assign counsel for the defence. Besides, it
is manifest from the remarks just made by
one of the prisoners, that he regards the
appearance of counsel under such circum
stances, not as a bona /hie act, but rather as
a mockery. Under these circumstances, I
do not feel disposed to assume the respon
sibility of that position. I have other rea
sons for declining the position, connected
with my having been at the place of action
and hearing all the admissions of the pris
oners which render it improper and inexpe
dient for me to act as their counsel. If the
Court had authority to order it peremlorily,
1 should acquiesce and obey that authority.
But I am not aware that there is any such
power vested in this Court, and as it iB of
the prisoners' desire, I will see that full jus
tice is done them.
Mr. Botts said he did not feel it his duty
to decline the appointment of the Court.—
I He was prepared to do his best to defend
the prisoners, and hoped that the Court
would assign him some experienced assist
ant, if Mr. Faulkner declined.
Mr. Harding then addressed Brown, and
asked him if he was willing to accept
Messrs. Faulkner and Botts as counsel.
Brown replied—l wish to say that I have
sent for counsel. 1 did apply through the
advice of some persons here to some per
sons whose names I do not now recollect to
act as counsel for me, and 1 have sent for
other counsel who have had no possible op
portunity to see me. 1 wish for counsel if I
am to have a lair trial, but if I am to have
nothing but the mockery of a trial, as I said
before, 1 do not care anything about coun
sel. It is unnecessary to trouble any gentle
man with that duty.
Mr. Harding—You are to have a fair trial
Brown—There were certain men, 1 think
Mr. Botts was one of them, who declined
acting as counsel, but 1 am not positive
about it. I cannot remember whether he
was the one, because I have heard 60 many
names : lam a stranger here; Ido not
know the disposition or character of the
gentleman named ; I have applied for coun
sel of my owr. and doubtless could have
them, if I am not, as 1 said before, to be
hurried to execution before they can reach
here. But if that is the disposition that is
to be made of me, all this trouble and ex
pense can be saved.
Mr. Harding—The question is, do you
desire the aid of Messrs. Faulkner and
Botts as your counsel. Please to answer
yes or no.
Brown—l cannot regard this as an exam
ination under any circumstances. I would
preler that they should exercise their own
pleasure. I leel as if it was a matter of
very little account to me. If they had des
igned to assist me as counsel I should have
wanted an opportunity to consult them at
my leisure
Mr. Harding—Stevens, are you willing
that these gentlemen should act as your
counsel.
Stevens—l am willing that that gentleman
shall, (pointing to Mr. Botts )
Mr. Harding—Do you object to Mr. Faul
kner ?
Stevens—No, I am willing to take both.
Mr. Harding then addressed each of the
other prisoners separately, and each staled
their willingness to be defended by the
counsel named.
The Court issued a peremptory order that
the press should not publish the detailed
toslimony, as it would render the getting of
a jury before the Circuit Court impossible.
WE learn by the Muncy Luminary that
St. James' (Episcopal) Church, of that place,
will be consecrated by the Right Rev. Sam
uel Bowman, assistant Bishop of Pennsyl
vania. on Tuesday, the lfiih inst, at which
time a collection will be taken up to be
applied towards defraying the expense at
tending the erection of this Church. The
cost is said to be upwards of eight thousand
dollars.
THE American Consul in Mexico, Mr.
Chase, ie reported to have been murdered
by Gen. Marquez. It is announced a cold
blooded murder.
Filing the Responsibility.
We extract from the Philadelphia Even
ing Journal, the following portion of a vig
orous article, inquiring who were at the bot
tom of the Harper's Ferry insurrection. The
Journal is an independent newspaper, but
its repeated assaults upon the Democratic
parly, bears testimony that its opinions up
on this momentous occurrence are not dis
turbed by partizan feelings.
After some introductory remarks, it says :
"01 course, in this, as in all like questions,
vengeance will not reach a lithe of those
who are really guilty of this atrocious busi
ness—it will Jail on the few who were act
ively and overtly employed in the conspi
racy—on the miserable tools of those high
apostles of Abolitionism, who preach, from
pulpits and from rostrums, and from the
desk of the journalist, treason to the law
and institutions ol the land, in the specions
name of freedom, and yet take precious
good care to keep their own necks clear of
the halter into which they would willingly
thrust other people's heads, and to which
they have, morally, forfeited tbeir own.—
We hold the 'Abolition party' responsible
for this lust of three attempts to provoke an
insurrection of the southern slaves, and to
enact, in all that region, the horrible atro
cities of St. Domingo We here and now
solemnly indict Messrs. Greeley, and Sew
ard, and Wendell Philips, and Lloyd Garri
son, and Henry Wilson, and Joshua Gid
dings, and the whole fraternity of the anti
slavery agitators, as the real instigators of
lha portentous rebollion which Wilb—per
haps prematurely—begun at Harper's Ferry,
and happily, for the peace of the land and
the cause of humanity, speedily suppressed.
They have "taught the bloody instructions"
which will always find enough ignorant and
insane minds in which to engender their
natural progeny and ripen into diabolical
acts of negro-stealing, murder, and even '
plots of sanguinary revolution.
"The shocking scenes which have just
transpired upon the banks of Potomac,
within a short distance of the national capi
tal, are the proper fruit of their long and
industrious sowing ot the seeds of servile
war and insurrection. Their persistent and
vehement promulgation of incendiary and
disloyal doctrines respecting the wrongs
endured by the southern negro, and his di
vine right to redress them at any cost and
in any possible way—their bold assertion
of the principle of a 'higher law'—a law
above all human law, which every man
may make and interpret for himself, and the
declaration that slavery and freedom, as re
lated in this country under the Constitution,
are engaged in an 'irrepressible conflict,'
Which can only end in the final triumph of
one over the other—are duly fructifying in
just such fearful turmoil and contention as
stained the soil of Kansas with blood, and
now by the forcible occupation of a town in
Virginia, the seizure of the national armory,
and a threatened war of the blacks and their
black allies of the free States for emancipa
tion, has terrified the people of the South
and outraged '.he humane and patriotic in
stincts of the whole land. To show that we
do no injustice, in what we have said, to tho
anti-slavery party, or its individual mem-,
bers, we quote here what their leading or
gan—the New York Tribune —printed yes
terday, in double-leaded editorial type, with
all the evidence of an infernal scheme of
treason and civil war before it. Speaking
of the ringleaders of the insurrection, it
pours forth this maudlin strain of compass
ion and eulogy upon their martyred souls :
"'There will be enough to heap execration
on the memory of these mistaken men. We
leave this work to the fit hands and tongues
of those who regard the fundamental max
imums of the Declaration of Independence
as 'glittering generalities.' Believing that
the way to universal emancipation lies not
through insurrection, civil war and blood
shed, but through peace, discussion, and
the quiet diffusion of sentiments of human
ity and justice, we deeply regret this out
break, but remembering that it tbeir fault
was grievous,'grievously have they answer
ed it, toe will not, by or.e reproach/ul word, dis
turb the bloody shrouds wherein John
Brown and his compatriots are sleeping.—
They dared and died for what they felt to be
right, though in a manner which 6eems to
us fatally wrong. Let their epitaphs remain
unwritten until the not distant duy when no
slave shall clank his chains in the shade of Mon
ticello or by the graves of Mount Vernon.'
"Now, what is this but a cowardly palter
ing, in which sympathy with the object of
a devlish conspiracy is qualified by a feeble
condemnation of the means for its achieve
ment ? Is it not the thin ambiguity through
which a traitor would excuse treason, yet
seem to denounce it? The substance ol the
whole paragraphs is—and we hold it as the
sentiment of the entire anti-slavery party—
that Brown and his confederates were right
in their purpose, but imprudent in the mode
of executing it, and that abolitionism, tri
umphant through safer ways of reaching its
aim, will yet shout hallelujahs over their
noble sacrifice in the cause of 'universal
emancipation.'"
AMERICAN LEADER AND WORKINGMAN'S AD
VOCATE is the title of a new paper started in
Philadelphia by Jhtophilus Fiske. We have
glanced over the specimen number and
found its reading to be such as will interest
the Mechanic and Laborer; and we would
advise them not to hesitate long in making
up tbeir minds to subscribe for it as they
would reap a good benefit from their invest
ment. Terms—single subscriber—s2 00;

Dr. D. H. B. BROWER has taken charge of
the Montour American, whilom his paper.—
We notice very little change in the paper,
more than it is worked a little blacker. The
Doctor writes just as "fearless and free" as
in former days. He is the only man that
can keep up the American. He took her
jnst in time, as she was beginuing to droop
her head. The American, under the present
editor's control, has always been rather a
good newi-paper, both general and local.—
We'll omit the terms.

PETERSONS' COUNTERFEIT DETECTOR. —It is
a startling fact that there never has at any
time, been so many counterfeits and altered
bank notes in circulation,as at present, many
of which are so well executed, as to defy the
closest inspection. Within a fortnight Pe
tersons' Detector notices the appeaiance of
fifty one new counterfeits. Under the cir
cumstances it is imperative for every busi
ness man to have at hand a*reliable detec
tor, and such a one is Petersons'. The best
thing isj'to subscribe to the semi-monthly
issue of Petersons' Detector, and thus get a
copy of it every two weeks. A new feature
has also beenjintroduced intoJPetersons' De
tector. This is a page of information on fi
nance, locally and generally, written ex
pressly for this work by one of the least vis
ionary, best informed, and most able, expe
rienced, and practical monetary writers in
this country. It will be continued in each
number of the Detector, and includes infor
mation on trade, commerce, money, specie,
stocks, bonds, banks and railroads. The
general contents of the work are admirable.
The price of it semi-monthly, is only Two
Dollars a year; or monthly, One Dollar a
year. We would advise all persons to remit
the price of a year's subscription to T. B.
Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia, at once
for it.
STRUMOUS or Scrofulous affections are the
curse, the the potatoe rot of man
kind. They are vile and filthy as well as
fatal. They arise from contamination and
impurity of the blood, and are to be seen all
around us everywhere. One quarter of all
we meet are tainted With them, and one
quartet of these die of them: die foolishly
too, because they are curable. Ayer's Sar
saparilla cleanses out the Scrofulous corrup
tion from the blood, renders it pure and
healthy, and effectually expurges the foul
contamination from the system. No longer
groan under your Scrofulous disorders, since
the irresistable Ayer has provided his mas
terly combination of curative virtues that he
calls Sarsaparilla— Democrat, Wuterbury, CI.

days. *
On the 21st ult., in Wilkesbarre, Mrs.
HANNAH PEARCE, widow of the late Rev.
Marmaduke Pearce, m the 73th year of her
age.
Mrs. Pearce was born in Plymouth, Luz.
Co., September 17th, 1782. She was des
cended from the Jameson and Alden fami
lies, who were among the earliest and most
enterprising of this Valley. Her father,
Lieut. John Jameson, erected one of the
first houses in Hanover township, in 1773.
In 1776, during our Revolutionary struggles
he marched, as an officer of a company of
soldiers raised in Wyoming, to the scene
of military operations, and was attached to
one of the Connecticut regiments ir. New
Jersey. He was present in several battles,
and exhibited that patriotism and courage
which finally won lor us civil and religions
liberty. Returning to Wyoming, he, with
his brothers, William and Robert Jameson
took part in the terrible engagement ol July
3d, 1778 In this battle Robert was killed,
William was wouhded, and John escaped
uninjured. William a few months after
wards, was murdered by the savages at the
Buttonwood bridge, below Wilkes Barre,
and John was shot by an Iddian near the
Hanover church, on the Bth of July, 1782 a
short time before the birth of his daughter
Hannah the snbject of this sketch.
The maternal grandfather of Mrs. Pearce
was Major Prince Alden, who was grandson
of the Hon. John Alden, one of the Pilgrim
Fathers. Major Alden erected the first
dwelling in Newport township in 1772, on
the property now owned by Col. Washing
ton Lee. His sons, Mason F. and John,
built the first forge in the Valley in 1777.
In 1799, Hannah Jameson rnnrried James
Stewart, son of Capt. Lazarus Stewart, who
commanded the Hanover company in the
Indian battle, where he fell bravely fighting
in defence of his country. In 1808 her
husband died, and she was left with several
small children whom she creditably reared
and educated, managing her affairs with
prndence and economy.
She experienced religion in 1806, and
was received into the M. E. Church by the
Rev. George Lane. Her mother was mem
ber of the first class formed in Hanover,
and the house of the widow Jameson was
the home of the early Methodist ministers.
In 1819 she was married a second time
to the Rev. Marmaduke Pearce, a clergy
man of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
well known in this county for his clear and
effective discourses.
Mrs. Pearce was a lady of a most genial
spirit and true piety. Her ready wit and
pleasing conversation drew about her many
friends and acquaintances in whose mem
ory she will long live, and her life continu
ally exemplified the doctrines of Christianity,
A few months ago she met with a most dis
tressing accident, by which one of her
limbs was broken. She bore her sufferings
with wonderful fortitude and resignation,
and frequently surprised her friends by her
hopeful and cheerful words. When death
was approaching she manifested no dread,
but on the contrary she viewed him as a
welcome messenger to relieve her of her
earthly affliction and to usher her into the
rest prepared for the people of God. Among
her last expressions were, "All is well—
God is good."
She was followed to the grave on Sunday
last by a large circle of sincere and sorrow
ing relatives and friends.— Record of the
Times.

I beg leave to call the alien
lion of my numerous friends and the public
to the following : Henceforth no watch will
be charged more than Irom 50 cts. to 81.25
unless on a special bargain. Any thing in
my line, that can be done in the cities, you
can get done here with perfect reliance.
New Clocks and Watches
will be offered at a very small addition to
the wholesale price. If you break a glass
in your spectacles or watch I have all kinds,
also for short sighted, and in all instances
you will find prices reduced
