WM. H. WOOD,
Chairman,
To the Patrons of the 'Journal. ,
The relation which has existed between us
for the last few years is now terminated. With
thw number our connection with the JunnivAL
.aaeaseinnt.te be.
terest in the Press, Type, and Subscription
List, to JOHN LUTZ, Esq., of Shirleyeluirg.
Ma. LUTZ is a gentleman of talent and ex
perience, vigilant and firm in conducting a
newspaper, a Whig of the Old School, and
an active and influential nietuber of the pres•
eta party of the People ; and this change of
proprietorship works uo change in the politi.
ical principles beretofo.e advocated and sus
tained by the JOURNAL.
While we confess that we experience a feel
sing of releif in turning over upon the broad
shoulders of our euecessor, the burden of do ly
cares and perplexities which the publishers of
a newspaper must bear, we at the Came time
cantina take leave of our Patrons without
pain and regret. In all the vieisskudes and
vexations of Editorial life, the constant
port of a noble band of Patrons huaencouraged
and eustained us; and we would du violence to
OW feelings if we did nut, in . parting, publicly
express our obligations to you. Into whatever
new sphere of life our future lot may be cast
we shall bear with us a grateful remembrance
of your kindness and sympathy.
Permit us in conclusion to urge upon yon to
attend to, and sustain the principles of your
party—the strife may be fierce and protracted
but true victory will be sure.

CHARLESTON, VA., N0v.22,
Gov. Wise is here reviewing the mill.
tary, and in the afternoon he had en inter
view with the prisoner,. The C4overrior
urged upon then► the necessity of prepar•
ing for death, as the sentence of the court
would by carried out, without any inter
ference on his pert.
Brown declared himself ready to die--
He justified his course, only regretting his
error in not allowing the train to pass with•
out interruption.
Cook acid he was willing to be shot,
but always had a great reOugnattee to hang
Gov. Wise said that Coppee was the
only one that he had ever thought of cam
touting, but he had now determined to
hong than all.
Gov. Wise, yesterday, received a dis
patch kindle Governor of Smith Cart&
na, tendering him any amount of military
aid, in the defence of Virginia. Mr Wise
replied by thanking him for the offer, but
wearing the Governor that Virginia was
able to defend herself.
Richmond mill try were all ordered
to return home yesterday, but the people
protested against such a c torso, declaring
that if there was any necessit7 for them to
come, that necessity 'till existed. Finally
Governor Wise ordered two Richmond
companies to remain, and also the Petere
burg Artillery.
Several of the Richmond companies star
ted *home this morning, and others will
Gov'. Wf..4 c....
ping. lle expresses the intention of hay
ing a thousand military present on the day
of execution.
It seems that by the law of Virginia,
even after trial and conviction, upon'asug
gestion made of insanity, n prisoner may
have that potut tried by a Jury. To give
the counsel of Jelin Brown an opportuni.,
ty to have such an issue framed and tried
an npplicetion hits been made to Gov. Wise
to postpone the execution of salience; and
is a basis for his action in the premises. a
collection of affidavits taken in Ohio among
the relatives and early acquaintances of
Brown has been submitted to him. We
have had an opportunity of examining
these affidavits. It appears from them
that Brown had resided the greater part
of his life in Hudson, Summit County,
Ohio, of which his father was one of th e
original settlers. Brown was absent many
years since, for is few years in Pe nnsyl.
yams, but returned again to Ohio, whence
he removed some four or five years ego to
Essex Co., N. Y.
It is abundantly shown by these nffida
vits that.On 'The mother's aide Brown be•
lunged to a family in which insanity was
hereditary. His maternal grandirtothgr
watt insane for six years and died insane--
, Three of her children, a brother and two
sisters of Brown's mother, suffered from
the same disorder, and another brother
who himself escaped. had three insane
children, cousins Of John Brown. 'l•lte
only sister of John Brown was also liable
to attacks of insanity, as .vere a child of
here, and two children of John Brown him
self.
A br •ther of John Brown's first wife
states that at the time of hor death, some
twenty-four or five years ago. the conversa
tion and conduct of Brown strongly impres
ses his relations with the idea of insanity
on his part; and it is the opinion of this
brother in law that ever since at intervals
the mind of Brown has been more or lees
disordered. An uncle of Brown's who
might be supposed to hove setae knowl
edge of the symptoms of insanity, as his
own mmher and three off is children were
the victims of that disord r. states that he
has regarded Brown, for twenty yenta, as
subject to periods of insanity, not of a very
marked type, but partaking of the charac.
ter.of monomania. Signior testimony is
given by I netwons who describe
themselves as acquainted with Brown Prow
early childhood. A physician of Hudson
who has known Brown since (812. has es
teemed hien subject to minks of insanity
and tine at times been fully convinced that
such wss life condition. A lawyer whom
Brown was in the habit of consulting shoot
his business affairs. comodered him of a
very excitable temperament and as consti.
tutionally predisposed to insanity. Say.
cral of his old acquaintances, who saw
him after his return from Kansas, state
that there was something is his meaner
and cativ'ersetten, and *specially, the Idea
with 'hich he seemed to be itopressed,
and of which he often spoke, the. he was
an instrument, in the In of tlal for the
overthrow of Shivery, which strongly im
pressed them 'with the idea that his mind
was disordered.
The whole history. of John Brown for
the lust two years, so far as it has come
to light; nod all the incidents of his fa
mous foray upon Harper's Ferry, have
neva appeared to us, from the first, as
consistent wi,h soundness of mind. We
have no dont), that, if the issue could be
tried, a very strong case might be made
out, It would, however. be too mortify mg
to the , pride of the Virginians to adm it
that they had been so frightened by a cra
ay man, and Gov. Wise to ill no doubt dis
pose of this application as sum•uurilyat
the Court of Amtrak did of the a pplica
'lion for a new trial.

patch front GUY. Packer of Peatisyivenia.

for the oiler, assuring Gov. Packer that
