1111110wn's Doings in Kansas.
nrenst I). PEN\ VD tOCER, the member elect
of the Virginia Senate from the Rockingham
district, furnishes the Ilarrisunburg Reyiater
with an account of his experience with Om
watomie Brown in Kansas, which proves the
Anolition martyr to be a robber iii the lowest
acceptation of the term. Mr. Pennybacker
was United States Survey Examiner in the
Territory, mod was with Copt. Pate's party
when it was captured by artifice at Black
J/I. Ile says 'lbw n would nut have spar
ed is prisoners' lives then, but that his own
two sons were in prison at Lecompton. The
statement continues :
While in his hands, I heard Brown's son
boast of the horse* they had stolen from Mis
souri and elsewhere. I al'.o saw it party start
out for the purpose of robliinc an Indian trad
ing post (Joseph liernard'r,) and saw them
return loaded with the goudr (some $S,tO)
worth.) Old Brown exclaiming ns they came
in, NN ell done, my IN !" kin wn told me
himself that his hand was af4ainst every man,
free State or pro-slavery, who vi :Ls not wil
ling to join his band, and that lie would kill
one as soon as the other. Ilia son Frederick
was killed at Os.aa at. by Martin White,
a free State Juan. who had rciuze I to jdin
Brown's company, and was thereupon robbed,
and ordered to le.ive. the Territory.
John 0 *ma afterwards whipped at
o.ostwatoime, and I believe he then left the
out his pathos over a dead donkey, while he
could allow his nearest relative, in her old
s.ge, to suffer from poverty' and sickness and
sorrow without offering the smallest assis
tance or educe, have we had such a display
of affected compassion :Is that made by the
political parsons and Abolition essayists over
the reliel and murderer Brown. Mr. 'toilet,
of B 'sten, thus commented on the condukt of
these pscudo-philanth rapists :
" •The poor child-berth old man !' exclaims
, the Her. Mr. Ward Beecher in his sermon on
slave insurrections. And how came he child
bereft.? In Kansas, La and his sons going
tkere not - to settle but to fight, /tad ourdcrod
four defenceless men in cold 6/God, dragged
front their beds al midnight! Up to that
time, says the Kansas Ilerald of Freedom,
not n hair of ohl John Brown's head, or of
any of his sons, bad been injured. Three
months after that the man of blood was at
tacked in his turn and cue of his eons killed.
Three veers after this he is found conspiring
with Northern Abolitionists to raise a servile
war in Virginia, and he carries his eons there,
who, after dragging tarn from their beds at
midnight, and shooliay down the mayor and
ciker citizens al Hutper's Ferry, are them
selves shot in the act of robbery, invasion,
and murder. And thereulon anti-slavery
philanthropy in the pulpit cries out, 'poor
skied-bereft old man!' Mr. 11. said it remind
ed him of a recent trialolparrieide in France.
The man had stratify Oarderid his father
and mother, sad of wane' he was an orphan
by his own crime, just as Joha Brown is
'child-bereft' by his crimes. The parricide
was convicted; and, on being called up for
sentence, was asked by the )edge if be bad
anyddng to say. Nothing, said he, only I

se-It wculd almost seem that. Truth and
the Sentinel have become strangers to each

coolly stated that in New York the Democrat+

to secure better terms in the future
. from their
natural allies, the Republicans. This is the
only r'..ason for their course, and no One

That he does not give the real truth in regard
to the matter, renders his motive fur assert
ing a falsehood very plain.
So also in regard to New. Jersey. There
the Democrats Lave gained, as in nearly all
the other States, and because of such gains,
the Sentinel makes tho astute declaration that
there was a bargain " between the Devito

can be corroborated by a number of persons

To John Brown, commander of the Army at
Harper's Ferry. Charlestown, Jefrer. on co.,
Va. C.tre of JAilor, Charlestown.
Chown:cga, Tennessee, Nov. 20, 1859.
John Brown—Sir Althomzli enge.inee is
not miss, I confess that I do feel gratified to
hear that you were stopped in your fiendish
career at harper's Ferry with the loss of your
two sons. You can now appreciate my dis
tress in Kansas, when you then and there en
tered my house at midnight and arrested my
husband anti two boys, and took them out of
the yard, and in cold blood shot them dead in
my hearing. You can't say you done it to
free our slaves ; we had nOllO and never ex
pected to own one, but hrisismly made me a
poor, disconsolate widow, with helpless chil
dren. While I feel for your folly, Ido hope
and trust you tt ill nmet your Just reward.—
Oh, how it pained my heart to hair the dying
groans of my husband and Aildren. If this
scrawl gives you any consolation you arc
welcome to it.
N. B.—My son, .Tolin Do% le, whose life I
begged of you, is now grown up. and is very
detdruus to be at Cluirlstown on the day of
Tour execution; would certainly be there if
?de means would permit it, that lie might ad
just the rope around your neck, if Guy. Wise
would permit. M. D.
A party of gentlemen at once subscribed
the amount. but the letter being detained. it
was ascertained y uung Dllle could nut turive
in time.
beirA despatch from Harper's Ferry nays:
`! All applications fur passes fur civilians
to attend within the military lines at the exe
cution are refused b y the Governor on
the ground that it Iv tild conflict with the
military programme. lle snid that no chi
linn could. under any- circumstances, be ad
mitted within the military lines, the outer
one of which would be nearly n mile from the
roaffold. Not a word of what John 'Brown
may utter, if he 041041 say anything, will,
therefore, lie audible to the men forming even
the line next the gallAws. Gov. Wise stated
the cause of this exclusion of all persons tith
er than'the military to be that, in the event
of an attempted rescue, an order to fire upon
the prisoner will Le given, and that those
within the lines. especially ilium: sufficiently
near the gallows to hear what Brown OR iy
say. would inevitably share his fate. The
imposing solemnity of the occasion will ifidi
cate to the North the lechag hate un the
matter."
Gov. Wise's Military Precaution
The Patriot Ural Union of We.lnosdny-says:
—The newspapers tlbat seek to elevate Ohl
Brown into n martyr, and display n spirit
cakulated to incite others to engage in resett
ing him, are the very 0110 A that ridicule the
military prenarntions lif thiv. Wise to prevent
a rescue. thece editors had the courage to
act on their own teachings they themselbes
would march into Virginia at Cie head of a
p.bitty and snatch old Itroa n from the gallon s,
or perish in the attempt. lot they have no
mind to play the part or heroes or Martyr.,
firi4errinz, to keep their preciono per,ons out
of darn4er while they t-ach others that it is
noble and !audible to s•ir up in.orrtction in
tl o t u eof negro liberty. (lot. Wise is pur
suing the proper course in calling out a l a rge
military force to proetit an attempt to re•roe
Brown, fur we arc satistit 4 that it such pre
cautions are not used the impressible con
flict fanatics t ill make:mother attack on Vir
ginia. 'racy hate 'wen repeatedly and opcn•
ly encouraged to do so by the itepublican
press, or el•e what weans this outpouring o f
sympathy for Drown, the-o laments fur his
impending fate, this e,;iistasit denunciation
and ridicule of the autln,rittes of 'Virginia be
cause thoy t\iii nut spare the "poor child-be
reft old mon."
The cry nevi-. Tapers that tit-nen:le Govern
or Wise no st for his military precautions
a;ainst an attempt at rescue aro the very
- enc ,, that militate a state of fueling that males
, ticli precautions nezossary. It is far better
that a large military force shauld prevent the
sli4htest effort to rescue Broirn than that the
Virginians should abandon themselves to a
false security. and thereby invite the inter
ference of the Abolition fanatics. Imagina
tion cannot foresee the direful consequences
of a cotillict around the gnllom s of the prison
er. It would be bt.t the I,eginnitog of a e.m-
Aict truly irre;-ressible ; the 'precaution
(*ken to preieut it is b e part of prodenee
and patriotis;„a. When General \Vashington
. opt twenty thousand soldiers to march
to western Pennsyh aide, and qued the insur
section crested by the refusal Of whiskey dis
tillers to pa? their tn;c*, sorup of the military
authorities of the day, who were much wiser
than he was, ridiculed the extensive prepara
tion. A large army to march against a few
distilleries! But tl.e esti% proved the wis
dom of eflciont measure.. The rebels saw
the hopelessness of their cause and came to
terms immediately. A small force *tight
hare been resisted, the rebellion protracted
and extended, many liras lost, and the majes
ty of the law insulted. Gov. Wise has a pow
er to guard against much more potent than
whiskey, and no force that he can summon
can be out of proportion to the stagtitude of
the danger.
A late number of the Richmond Enquirer
contains an effevtive reply to the charge of
cowardice and unnecessary alarm. It says:
" We have the most satisfactory assurances
from reliable sources that a rescuing party is
organizing throughout some of the Northern
States. The Executive of Virginia to whom
was entrusted the protection of the State and
the execution of the laws, oontidered the best
security against such an effort was ample pre.
partition to meet and repel it. Was there
anything in this effort, to protect the how*
of the State, meriting the abuse that has bees
heaped upon Gov. Wise? And that the peo

The undersigned were appointed treornmii,
tee, at a meeting of the citizens ofGettysburp, ,
held on Monday evening last, to collect and
publish in the papers POMO facts on the suls•
ject of gas-light. Wti desire therefore to pre
sent some statistic 4, fur the information of
our people, upon this subject with special ref
erence to three particulars, the pr fils of gas
companies, now existing in the United States,
the econosny of the light, and the necessary
rxpenses connected with Mc fis 31 introduction
n 1 it ink public edifices, and private dictllinya.
The present article is intended to chow, quite
briefly, the pr (Jill of gas crnnpanies.
A e have in our possessi‘m a Copysuf the
American Gas-Light Journal, fur Oct. 1P4.19,
in which are given statistical tables of ::97
gas companies, now incorporated in the Unit
ed States. Three tables embrace full partic
ulars of the amount of their chartered capital,
the price of shares, the A-Illation of the gas
'Lenient, the number of private meters, price
of gns for 1000 cubic feet, and the anneal divi
dends. From these reliable tables, wo base
compiled the following results, upon the last
particular abut e mentioned, the annual Pro
fits.
Of the shore 207 companies, 135 returned
to the editors of the above paper, the annual
percentage of pr..6t•, and this is n sururnary
of them :

States in general.
We hare also looked at the subject in a less
extensi►e aspect, bow the matter ►toads with
reference to our own State. Jr appears frutn
these same table•, that there are 43 incorpor

But what's.the use talking ;--one might as
well speak to a statue as complain to is deaf
and dumb husband. Bein' as I'm s peaceable
woman I don't mean to fly into a passion ;
but I'll just inform you in ties., Mr. Doodlo,
that I can't nor won't suffer lark goings WI in
this house any longer. It's only three year,
come Christmas that you promised old Drake,
the parson, that you would take me fur better
or worse, and already it appears you bare
taken me only fur worse. But if you think'
you are going to make yourself master over
Susannah Doodle so soon you'll find yourself
greatly disappointed. If you had a spark of
manliness about you* or had any.care f or
pour wife's comfort or happiness, you would
n't loaf about the kitchen, in tie way of the
servants, when you might he doing so many
chores about the house. Instead of going to

question "scolding wires ak ys. smoky chim
neys," it would hare heertench more credi
table to you to bow staid at home and strept
your own chininey and saved your wifo the
misery of a smoky kitchen. It's well for you.
Mr. Doodle, that you have a pious woman to
deal with. It isn't every woman that would
suffer you' to carry on at your club about
smoky chimneys and never once sweep your
own flue for six months together to the con
stant danger of sooty dinners. Bat you say
you intend to sot fire to it and born it out the
first rainy day that comes. We'll see about.
that. If a man of 3 our age and siso.has no
better manners titan all that comes to, I shall
Le under the painful necessity of teaching
you otherwise. You must not think, 0 Doo
dle, that you are going to put me to a whole
hour's scrubbing the fire-place Just because
you are either too good or too lazy to play
the sweep; and, besides, I want you distinct
ly to understand that I consider myself sore-
reign ruler of this house, and
4' My right there i• none to dispute."
May be you are afraid of spoiling your clothes
by creeping up the chimney ? I can assure
you, howmer, that you need bare no fears on
that sc..)re; for in all my born days I never
yet saw another such an incorrigible sloven
as you have been since you prevailed on tub
to become Mrs, Doodle. Indeed, I should be
altogether flu:grated if Mrs. Trim and her
tidy husband ahnuLl c dl in this evening and
find you in such a beggar-like plight. But
yi.ti say you can't afford it; oh ! yes, I know
very well. That's just what you always say.
I'm a'most ready to dig with vexation at the
thought tint I may yet one day be thrown
upon the public fur support and end my days
in a pour-house.
But you needn't think, Mr. Doodle. that
you are going to make, anything :ape by
your stubborn milenee. I know very well
that you would secretly rejoice at my death,
and for no earthly reason but that you might
make love to some saucy chit of a boarding
school Miss. lint I'm determined to spoil all
your nice plarm,(or you ;—if I die on this side
of threescore and ten it chant be my fault.—
It's really too bad jbattbe law does n't make
a man provide for a decent wife in a dement
