CLEAKFIELD, PA., EEC. 7, 1859.
Johs Brown is Dead ! lie was hung, in ac
cordance with the sentence, on last Friday,
surrounded by the military of Virginia, Gov.
Wise, and many of the chivalric citizens of
that renowned State. No attempt at rescue
was made, and everything passed off to the
satisfaction of the Virginians, no doubt ; and
now that the mistaken and erring old man is
dead, we suppose the people of the Old To-
minion will breathe freer and sleep sounder
than they have since the time the insurrection
began. Slavery and John Brown were foes.
After the murder of his sons in Kansas, it is
said he took an awful oath that while life re
mained bis hand should be raised against it.
and that he would fight it to the death. Al
though goaded to such a course by domestic
calamities brought upon him by the slavery
propagandists, what else could he expect than
unrelenting hatred when he fell into the hands
of that power 1 He knew no limitations in his
warfare on slavery why should slavery be
lenient to him. defeated and a captive ? It is
a question whether slavery could have spared
the life of John Brown without virtually con
fessing the iniquity of its existence. Death
was the least he could expect and he met
it undauntedly and heroically. We wish it to
be distinctly understood that we are no apolo
gist of Brown's course, liis raid was wrong
and inexcusable the direct consequences la
mentable and pernicious. If slavery is an
evil and even the candid and intelligent men
of the South admit that it is there is a fit and
an unfit mode of combating it. Xo one, when
in a Slave State, should attempt to a.nnul by
his acts the laws and fixed polity of that State.
Xo one, we think, is justified in entering a
Southern State to incite the slaves to insur
rection, even if there was a certainty of free
ing them. If the South is ever to be rid of
slavery, let it be done, through the force of
enlightened public sentiment, in a peaceful
and constitutional manner, and let the South
herself do it ! IIow to remove the evil, is a
problem the South alone should solve we of
the Xorth have no business to interfere with
it in the States wherein it exists. When, how
ever, it comes to spreading the institution in
to the Territories, then it assumes quite an
other phaze then it becomes a matter of as
much, if not more, interest to the Xorth as to
the South then it brings Slave and Free La
bor into direct contact, and our Southern
brethren should not find fault with those who
think it their interest toopposc its extension.
The Governor of South Carolina, in his
message delivered a few days since, says : If,
as I solemnly believe, we can no longer live
in peace and harmony in the Union, we can
form a confederacy, with the ability to pro
tect itself against any enemy, and command
the respect and admiration of the world. The
will settle the question of their safety in the
Union. In accordance with his recommenda
tion, resolutions were introduced into the Le
gislature, on the 30th Xov., that South Caro
lina is ready to enter, with other Southern
States, into the formation of a Southern Con
federation ; and that official information be
given of the State arsenal, arms, ammunition,
number of men enrolled in the State Militia,
the style of their arms, Sec. Here is a case
for our Democratic Union-savers of the Xorth
to look after, and they should do it promptly.
Liberty is the Federal Capitol. Dr.
Breed, formerly an Examiner in the Patent of
fice, was arrested on Friday a-week in Wash
ington city, and taken before Justice Dunn, on
the charge of uttering "incendiary language,"
in expressing his opinion about John Brown,
and required to give security in the sura of
$2,000 to keep the peace ! Louis Xapoleon
and Francis Joseph may now hide their dimin
ished heads. Their despotism is being eclips
ed by that of the Slave King.
EXECUTION OF JOHN BEOWN.
Last Friday, Dec. 2d, was the day set apart
for the execution of old John Brown, at Char-
lestown, Virginia. At an early hour the town
was in more than usual stir, even for the stir
ring times that have fallen upon that neigh
borhood, boon the movements of the milita
ry drew all the citizens of the place and all
others who had been able to gain admittance
to the town to the vicinity of the place assign
ed for the execution.
The prisoner was brought out of jail at elev
en o clock. .Before leaving ne rjia aaieu to
all his fellow-prisoners.and was very affection
ate to all except Cook. He chargea oook
with having deceived and misled him in rela
tion to the support he was to receive troni the
slaves. He said he was led by him to believe
they were rife for insurrection, but he had
found that his representations were false. Cook
denied the charge and made but little reply to
Brown. The prisoner then told the sheriff he
was ready, when his arms were pinioned, and
be walked to the door, apparently calm and
cheerful. He wore a black slouch hat and the
... -. .. , - - .
same clothes worn during nis inai. as ne
came out he was taken under guard of the
military. Six companies of infantry and one
troop of horse, with Gen. iallaterro and ins
entire staff, were deploying in front of the
jail.
At the door of the jail an open wagon, witn
a pine box in which was a fine oak coffin, was
waitins for him. He looked around and spoke
to several persons whom he recognized, and
walking down the steps, was assisted to enter
the wagon, and took his seat on the box con
taining his cotiin, along with Jflilor Avis. He
looked with interest on the fine military dis-
Dlav.but made no remark. The wagon moved
on as soon as he had taken his seat, flanked
with two files of riflemen in close order.
On reaching the field the military had al
ready full possession,and pickets were station
ed at various points. The citizens were kept
back at the point of the bayonet from taking
anv rtosition excent that assizned them near
ly a quarter of a mile lrom the scaffold
Through the determined persistence of Dr
Kawlings, of Frank Leslie's paper, the order
excluding the press was partially rescinded,
and the reporters were assigued a position
near the General's staff.
The prisoner walked up the steps firmly,and
was the first man on the gallows. Jailer Avis
and Sheriff Campbell stood by hi." side, and
after shakina hands and bidding an affection
ate adieu, he thanked them for their kindness
He then put the cap over his face and the rope
around his ntck. Mr. Avis then asked him to
step forward on the trap. lie replied, "You
must lead me for I cannot see." The rope
now being adjusted, and the military order
given,the soldier's marched and countermarch
ed, and took their position as if an enemy was
in siglit. Xearly ten minutes was thus occu
pied, the prisoner standing meanwhile. Mr.
Avis inquired if he was not tired. Brown re
plied, "Xo ; but don't keep me waiting longer
than necessary."
Atfilteen 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
minutes. It was then cut down and placed in
the coffin, and conveyed under a military es
cort to the depot, and there put in a car to
be conveyed to Harper's Ferry by a special
train at four o'clock, to be delivered to Mrs.
Brown, who would convey it north lor inter
ment. The body was attended by a strong
military escort. The whole arrangements
were carried out with a precision and military
strictness that was most annoying.
The general conviction is everywhere enter
tained that the rumors of intended rescue were
altogether an egregious hoax.
In the morning Capt. Brown executed an
instrument ernpoweringSlieriff Campbell toad
minister on all property of his in the State
with directions to pay over the proceeds of
the sale of his tfeapons, if recovered, to his
widow and children.
Mrs. Brown had been allowed to visit her
husband on Thursday. She remained with
him about four hours, when she was escorted
back to Harper's Ferry.
A very dangerous counterfeit on the Phila
delphia Bank was put in circulation last week
in that city. Aim

$3,000 of the spurious notes from Xew York

THE UNION DISSOLVED.
That is to say, the performance is to come
off this week. There is to be positively no
postponement on account of the weather. The
dissolution that was to take place if Xew York
and Xew Jersey went Itepublican was delay
ed to give the stiffnecked rebels one more
chance to repent and return to their allegi
ance; but that was the last mercy. If the
House elects a Republican Speaker this week,
the Union is no more ! Hear Mr. Buchanan's
Washington organ, the Const Hut ion :
"In such a crises as this, would not the elec
tion of a Black-Republican Speaker and other
officers be iustly regarded as a declaration of
war against the South and an invitation to
servile insurrection ? We appeal to every
Southern member of Congress to answer the
startling question whether the success of such
men at such a period would not be truly
considered as inviting the slaves themselves
to insurrection and rebellion? We ask further,
whether if, in consequence of such action,
insurrection, or rebellion should appear in any
portion of the South, would not all who had
cooperated through such an organization with
such associates be held properly responsible
for all the consequences ? We firmly believe
that in the impending crisis a Black-Republican
victory in the organization of the House
would shake tbe pillars of the Union. Al
ready tbe Government is rocking almost on
its foundations under the cflect of the insur
rectionary movements against the South, and
if in the heatt of two Southern States, and
at the very capitol of the Union, these traitors
could now sccomplish such a triumph we may
but little longer boast of a common country.
That the Constitution should be subverted by
those who had just sworn to support that sa
cred instrument that all its guaranties should
be thus disregarded and violated that the flag
of treason should float in triumph in the Cap
itol itself, would cause the stoutest hearts to
tremble for the fate of the Union. While we
still possess a common country, while the
Union still lives, we implore all who would
perpetuate its blessings and benefits to refrain
from such an act in this period of gloom and
.Peril. It evil must befall us if the Constitu-
to?.b wrong, the sacred name of Washing-
menft'ist be overthrown if the Union, ce-

Blair Codnti. On the 26th Xov., the wife
of Mr. John Beard, of Scotch Valley, whilst
engaged at her household duties, suddenly
fell over and died. She was in the 7d year
of her age. . ."V Patrick Mahar, an old man,
whilst removing some car-wheels at the coal
mines or 1'orter, iuillikcn & oo., on tnciStn
Xov., fell from the platform, a distance of SO
or 40 feet, causing instant death. ... The
proposed Lutheran Colony is getting along
swimmingly. A number of applications have
already been received, and it is expected that
a meeting will be held in a short time to make
some definite arrangements as to the place
of location, &c. . . . A little girl four years
old,-daughter of Daniel Fenigan, living at
Rebecca Furnace, was burned to death on
Thanksgiving. It appears that the child was
left alone in the house, and while playing by
the stove ber clothes caught fire. She lived
but a few minutes. . . . On the 19th inst., some
sacriligious scoundrel entered the Evangelical
Lutheran Church, at Xewry, and took away
the trimmings from the pulpit and about one
yard and a half of broadcloth, used as a table
covering on the altar.
Jefferson County. About two hundred
rafts were floated from Brookville on the late
rise. Some of them had to tie up at Troy, on
account of the water falling. The rise was
not high enough to run heavy timber. . . .Scar
let fever is quite prevalent in the southern
part of the county. Quite a number of chil
dren have died. Mr. W. Brown, of Oliver
township, within about two weeks has buried
four of his children. . . . A vein of cannel coal
has been discovered by a couple of Pittsburg
gentlemen, on the farm of Rev. C. P. Cum
mins near Brookville. The coal is said to be
of a superior quality. . . . On the 2Sth Xov.,
the residence of J. II, Sinister, in Brookville,
was entered and two gold watch chains, a gold
pencil and S7 or $8 in money stolen. On the
same evening a half barrel of flour was stolen
from the house of Mrs. Wilson ; the house of
Eli Roll was also entered, but the thieves were
disturbed before getting anything.
Potter County. A frightful accident hap
pened at Benton's Mills, in Burtville, 'on the
afternoon of the 18th Xov. Two little girls,
one named .Ardeil Gray and the other Jsme
More, aged about 8 years each, were playing
around the Shingle Machine, and were riding
on the shaft that drives the drag saw, when
their clothes caught to the shaft, throwing the
children down with great force and mangling
them terribly. Ardell was almost scalped and
both of her thighs were broken. She lived
about two hours. Jane More still survives,
but her life is dispaired of. She was hurt
over the left eye, and her head bled inwardly.
Berks Cocntv. The paper mill of Dr. C.
T. Rober was totally destroyed by fire on the
night of the 24th ult. Loss" $4,500'. Insured
for $3,500. . . . Wm. Mengle, aged 17 years,
was killed by the accidental discharge of his
gun, while hunting on Thanksgiving day.
Several shot entered the region of the heart.
Daniel Becker was run over by a train on the
Reading Railroad, on Friday last, and so hor
ribly mangled that he died next day. An
aged lady, Mrs. Elizabeth Hitter, saw the ac
cident, and was so horrified as to cause an at
tack of apoplexy, from which she died in a
few hours.
Fayette County. On Saturday night, the
12th Xov., the house of Henry Shepperd, of
Wharton township, was entered by burglars and
robbed of some $200 in money, besides some
valuable clothing, blankets, &c, among which
was an elegant shawl. On the same night the
kitchen of Mrs. MeCulIough was entered ami
robbed of bread, meat, preserves, &c. Also,
the springhouse of Mr. James Inks was robbed
of several ponnds of butter. Suspicion rests
upon persons in the neighborhood, but as yet
no arrests have been made.
Mifflin County. Incendiarism continues
its hellish work at Reedsville. On the eve
ning ol the 23d ult.jthe stable of Mr. Reed,oc
cupiud by Mr. Stroup, together with 70 or HO
bushels of corn and a quantity ol hay, was
burned to the ground; on the night of the

during the absence of the family at a funeral,
a large barn on Judge Henry's farm, near
Reedsville, with all its contents and a horse,

Greexe County. A dastardly attempt was
made to poison the family of Mrs. Way, a
widow, residing in Carmichaels, on the 18th
of Xov. Some poisonous drug had been put
into the flour and sugar, but what it was or
who put it there, is not known. Immediately

ed with nausea and uneasiness in the stomach,
which was followed by vomiting, attended in
some cases ty cramp. All,however,recovered.
Centre County. On the night of the 21st
ult., a house in Beech Creek, occupied by

the family. ... A few evenings since, some
villian entered the residence of the late
Daniel Weaver in Spring township, doubtless
lor the purpose of robbing it ; when he was
.discovered and pursued, but made good his
escape.
Mr. Editor : Permit me through your pa
per to say a few words concerning the Orphans'
Home at Zelienople, Butler county, Pa. This
Institution owes its origin to Rev. W. A. Pas
savant, of Pittsburg, who, in the year 1846,
while travelling in Germany, visited the Orphan-house
at Halle, made himself acquainted
with the system of its management, and on his
return to this country, commenced the estab
lishment of one, on similar basis, in the town
of his birth and early childhood. Its funda
mental principles are founded in faith that
God will provide for the Orphans, having no
income of any kind except the lree-will offer
ing of the Christian public. Xo denomina
tional distinction is made; orphans of all de
nominations are received and are now in the
Home. These poor orphans receive a good
English education in which christian training
and good morals form a prominent part. Unlike
other Orphan houses of our laud, the children
are not bound out as servants, which crushes
the energies of the children, but are to learn
trades in the institution as soon as the means
will permit to erect suitable buildings, &c.
In this home are at present forty-two boys,
and nearly as many girls, from four to twelve
years of age. They are dressed in common
but comfortable clothing, which is generally
the free-will gift of chistians. But this year,
in consequence of the frost, is a trying time
for Rev. Passavant and his orphan family, num
bering between eighty and ninety children.
As friends of the fatherless, could not the
christian public of Clearfield county send a
box or two of clothing, consisting of all kinds
of garments for both sexes, bed clothes of all
kinds, and in short any articles which are ne
cessary in a family. Further information can
be obtained by calling on the undersigned, and
any articles for the home can be , left at his
house with the names of the donors.

Washington, Dec. 5. The House met at 12
o'clock to-day, and 230 members answered to
their names. For the Speakership, Phelps of
Missouri, Sherman of Ohio, Davis of Indiana,
Hickman and Grow of Pennsylvania, and Bo
cock of Virginia, were nominated. On the
1st ballot Sherman had 0G votes, Bocock 86,
Grow 43, scattering 35. Mr. Grow then with

be a" union between the Republicans and Anti

The accusasion against Dr. J. C. Ayer, of
Lowell, for stabbing R. S. Fray, Jr., the Trea
surer of the Middlesex Mills, has been with
drawn because the prosecuter found that no
complaint against him could be sustained.
The fact is that Dr. Ayer merely defended him
self as best he might, with a penknife ho hap
pened to have In his hand, against a cowardly
assault made on him from behind, with the
premeditated intention to dishonor and pun
ish him for the exposure he has made and is
making of the wrongs practiced by the officers

fllOIl'LA, OR KING'S EVIL, is a eon
stitutiori.il disease, a taint, or corruption of the
bloo-4, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak,
and poor. Being in the circulation, it ptirvadea
the whole body, and may burst out in disease ou
any part of it. No organ is frco from its attacks,
nor is there one which it may not destroy. Th
scrofulous taint i variously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, or disordered or unhealthy
food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depres
sing vices, and. above all. by tho venereal iul'ac
tion. Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in tho
constitution, descending from parents -to children
unto the third and fourth generation ;' indeed, it
seems to be the rod of Him who sa3-s. '-I will visit
the iniquities of the fathers upon thairch:! Jren."
It effects commence by deposition from the blood
of corrupt and ulcerous matter.whioh, in the luugs,
liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; ir
the glands, swellings; and on the surface, erup
tions or sors. This foul corruption, which gen
ders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, sw
that scrofulous constitutions not only suSer from .
scrofulous complaints, but they have far less power
to withstand tbe attacks of other diseases ; conse
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders whidi,
although r.ot scrofulous in their nature, are still
rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most
of the consumption which deccminates tbe Luiumu
family has its origin direolly in this scrofulous con
tatuination . and many destructive diseases of the
liver, kiducys, brain, and indeed, of all the organs,
arise from or are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous: their
persons are invaded by this iurkingcoui.-sniination,
and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse
it from the system we must renovate the blood by
an alterative medicine. and invigorate it by healthy
food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply il
Ayer's Compound Extr.tr: of Sarsitparitla,
the most effectual remedy which the medical skill
of our times can devise tor this every where pre
vailing and fatal malady. It is combined from the
most active remedial that have been discovered
for the expurgatiou of this foul disorder from the
blood, and the rescue of the system from its des
tructive consequences. Hence it should be employ
ed for the euro of not only srolula. but also those
other affections which arise from it, such as Erup
tive and Skin Diseases. St. Anthony's Fire. Rose,
or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules. Blotches, Elains
and Boils. Tumors, Tetter a::d Salt Rheum. Scald
Head, Ringworm, Rheumatism, Syphilitic and
Mercurial Diseases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debility,
and, indeed, ail Complaints arising from Vitiated
or Impure Blood. The popular belief in -impurity
of the blood'' is founded in truth, for scrofula is
a degeneration of the blood. The practical purpof
and virtue of the Sarsaparilla is to purify and re
generate this vital fluid, without which souud
health is impossible in contaminated constitutiona.
AYER'S CATHARTIC for all the purpo
ses of a family physic, arc so composed that dis
ease within the range of theit action can rarely
withstand or cvado them. Their penetrating pro
perties search, and cleanse, and iuvigorate every
portion of the human organism, correcting its dis
eased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities.
As a consequence of these properties, the iualid
who i3 bowed down with pain or physical debil
ity is astonished to find his health or energy re
stored by a remedy at once so simple and inviting
Not only do they cure the cvery-day complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and dan
gerous diseases. The agent below named is plead
ed to furnish gratis my American Almanac, con
taining certificates of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: CV
tirruess, Heartburn, Heartache, arising from dis
ordered Stomach, JVaitsea, Indigestion. Pain in
and Morbid Inaction of the Bowels, ltatideney.
Loss of Apjtctite, Jaundice, and other kindred
complaints, arising from a low state of the body
or obstruction of its functions.
AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, for the rapid
care of Coughs. Colds, Ittjlaensa, Hoarseness'.
Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consu-mptioM. and for
the relief of Consumptive Patients ia advanced
stages of the disease. So wide is the field of its
usefulness and so numerous are the cases of its
cures, that almost every section of country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restor
ed from alarming and even desreratc diseases of
the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superi
ority over every other medicine of its kind is too
apparent to escape observation, and where its vir
tues are known, the public no longerhesitate what
antidotes to employ for tho distressing and danger
ous affections of the pulmonary organs that are in
cident to our climate. While many inferior reme
dies thrust upon the community have failed and
been discarded, this has gained friends by every
trial, conferred benefits ou the afflicted tbey can
never forget, and produced eures too numerous
and too remarkable ever to be forgotten.
