That company, with white . Abersin their three cornered hats, anc with antiquely ‘ts coats, yellow buff breeches and Hessian boots, is the ‘“Whobester Continentals. Notwithstanding that they have "been ou service for the last six weeks, their uniforms look “pright and their arms well polished. The Young Guard, ef Richmond, Capt. Rady, are resting on their arms, in the street facing the jail. The Petersburg Greys, Capt. feots, occupy & position in the Court House yard; and the “@erman Rifles, of Richmond, are drawn up in line in front ~ef the Carter House. Company F, of Richmond, is sta- ‘thened higher up the street, and a troop of eavalry, most- Jy wm civilians’ dress, and armed with a carbine rifle and sword bayonet, are on the south side of the jail. This eompany, with red shirts, white cross belts, and glazed ‘eape, which is marching up toward the field with two brass howitzers, is the Virginia Cadets, from the Lexing- ten Military Institute. They are all youths, but their sol- dierly bearing and handsome appearance elicit general admiration. Among them marches old Edmund Ruffin, swith white locks streaming behind him. In every direction ‘Me 2couts, who have now got red shirts, as part of their ‘uniform, are riding in hot haste. Generals and colonels ‘and staff officers enough for the whole French army are @isplaying their epaulettes and dress swords with im: mense satisfaction to themselves, and appearing to be ‘very busy. Col. Davis gwho had been in commander-in- @hief before Taliaferro’s appointment, and who is now Quartermaster General of the army, rides about in plain @ethes, with a Colt’s pistol fixed on a carbine stock flung ever his shoulder. Onall the roads leading to the town ‘piequets are stationed to prevent the approach of country people, and sentries are 80 placed throughout the village ‘as effectually to check all circulation.

The ia was planted beside the scaffold, and that of States at the further corner of the ground. ‘There were but few civilians, certainly not over a hun- red, within view; and—be it said to the credit of the Ghariestown ladics—not a single member of the gentler sex made her appearance near the ground, nor were any @bserved at the windows which commanded a view of the plaee of execution. It was algo remarked that there were te colored people among the spectators. THE PROCESION. At five minutes before eleven the glistening bayonets of ‘the advance guard were seen entering the gate from the irection of the jail. First came a troop of cavalry, six abreast; then a regiment of infantry marching in columns; ‘then a common country wagon, drawn by two grays, and eentaining the conderined man. Behind it marched the ‘Winehester Continentals, followed by the remainder of ‘he escort in the order assigned it. ‘The wagon stopped ‘en the west side of the gallows. Nothing is seen of Brown from the spot-where the reporters stand, until four men are observed watking up the steps. The first is Brown. - BROWN’S BEARING. Coolly and bravely, and with as much apparent uncon- @ern as if he were it to address a political meeting, he mounts the scaffold, advances forward, takes off his hat, vans hie hand through his bushy gray locks, and then turns round and shakes hands with the Sheriff. Without ® moment’s delay the rope is placed round his neck, his arms more securely pinioned, his fect tied, and a long white linen cowl drawn his face. in that atti- bi ttl & 3 Be ¥ eH was toward the south; the sun shone warmly upon him, and the pleasant breeze played about him for the last tame. ‘THE FINAL MOMENT. At length the companies were all at their posts; the ‘Sheriff and jailor bade Brown s final good-bye, and de- weended from the scaffold. I turned my face from the fear- agas by misrepresentations (1 ‘assured him the slaves would rally to his support), and had made false statements (in his confession), and that he should not, for the sake of “saving his own bacon,” be- tray his friends. Said he to him, ‘You stated that I told you to come to r’s Ferry, when the fact was that I antioned you at Cleveland coming.” Cook ro- plied:—*Well, sir, there is a of opinion between U8 as to ;, Perhaps our memories are at fault.”” To that Brown rejoined:—‘Sir, your memory is very treacher- ous.” ee he advised him to repent bis sins and to ie game.

BROWN’S RETURN FROM CHARLESTOWN TO HARPER'S FERRY. OUR HARPER'S FERRY CORRESPONDENCE. Harpsr’s Ferry, Va., Dec. 2, 1859.

Mrs. Brown returned to this place on Thursday night from Charlestown, in company with Capt. Moore, of the Richmond Guard, and an escort of nine mounted rifle- men, Before leaving Charlestown she took supper with her husband in the jail, and afterwards acknowledged the satistaction she felt at being afforded that opportunity, During the trip from Charlestown she seemed to grieve much more than before her interview with her husband. She wept silently most of the way, and the only conside- ration which seemed to reconcile her to the fate of her husband was that he was dying a martyr. Her sorrow would apparently diminish with every reference to that destiny; and no sooner would allusion be made to his im- pending fate than she invested it with the honors of mar- tyrdom, as if to console herself. She arrived here about ten o’clock at night, and put up at the Wager House. The lady and two gentlemen who ‘sccompanied her to this place were permitted, at her re- quest, to remain and accompany her back, though the order soon after their arrival here was that they should retarn. During yesterday Mrs. Brown kept her room. Several persons, members of the press in particular, anx- jously sought interviews with her, but the gentlemen who accompanied her invariably objected. She is not disposed to be communicative, and is said to be particularly re- served when aware of the presence of any one connected with the prees. I was one of a party of three gentlemen who were admitted to her room last night. She was gested near a table in the centre of the room as we en- tered. One of her male companions, through whom we had secured the privilege of an interview, introduced each of us as we went in, after which we all took seate. A gen- tleman connected with a New York illustrated journal took a position immediately opposite her at the table. He commenced a conversation with her by asking if she had ‘an interview with Mr. Brown. She replied that she had. « Did he seem to be in good spirits?” asked this gentleman. She said, ‘‘Yes—he expressed a hope that God would be with her, and assured her that God was with him.’’ The next question was, “Did he receive you warmly, madam?” She answered in the affirmative, and then rose from her seat, and, removing back from her interrogator towards the bed, held down her head and began to weep. At this time the gentleman who introduced us interposed, and said he would allow no more questions to be asked. We all then left the room, leaving her and her lady compa- nion together. Before the introduction to Mrs. Brown, it appears that one of the companions agreed in her behalf, and with her sanction, to allow her Ifkeness to be taken for a New York illustrated journal, for the sum of fifty dollars. The representative of this journal, Mrs. B.’s com- panion and myself, retired to an adjoining room to perfect this arrangement. Iwas merely a spectator, ha interest in the matter. The representative of the, in question took his seat at the table and wrote a LOIN OOOO LO BOOIO DIO IE DOLE LOLODE LODE DI DODD Hagren’s Fenny, Va., Dec. 7, 1860.

The coffin was enclesed in a plain pine box and taken in care by the friends of the deceased. Mrs. Brown also accompanied her husband’s remains, in company with two ladies and gentlemen. Quite a num- ber of gentlemen also proceeded to North Elba, among them, it is said, was Dr. Cheever, to attend the funeral of the deceased. The funeral will take place to-day, and will no doubt be largely attended. Tror, Dec. 5—P. M.

En, Pa., Dec. 1, 1859. I have just been shown a statement, originating and ap- pearing in the Cleveland Plaindealer of yesterday, and copied, with improvements, into this day’s Cleveland Na- tional Democrat, tho substance of which is, that on my way home from my recent visit to the prisen of John Brown, while stopping a few hours in Wheeling, Va... ms of the citizens of that place waited on me, rope in nd, and warned me from the State in fifteen minutes, on pain of death, and that I, seriously a) danger, made a speedy and cowardly exit from the town. The statement hag no possible foundation in fact. It is contemptibly false from beginning to end, in general and in detail, in conception and construction.’ Nothing bear- ing the shadow of a semblance to such a transaction ever occurred. The article in question also attempts to cast reproach and discredit upon me for my connection with the ‘Erie war.” Of course, whatever opportunity presents itaelf for aspersing and abusing this city must never be suf- fered to go unimproved. In reply to this partof the Statement of the Plaindealer, 1 have nothing to say other than that the citizens of this city, of which I am proud to be one, have defeated in all our courts, local and supreme, those recklegs corporations which go villanously sought our destruction, and that (a fact which a foreign press never cared to record) these same corpo- rations, after expending a million of dollars to fight ug, are now duly compelled to respect and obey the requi- sitions of their charters, for asking them to do which they aimed to sink us. M. B. LOWRY. TWELVE HARPER'S FERRY INSURGENTS IN CANADA. The Muscatine Journal learns that the mother of Edwin and Barclay Coppie, who resides in Springdale, Cedar county, Jowa, has received a letter from the latter, who is now in Canada, stating thut he and eleven of his com- panions have arrived safely in her Britannic Majesty's dominions. Four of them were wounded—one of them so severely that his comrades were obliged to carry him most of the time for the first four days of their flight.

Monpay, Dec. 5, 1859. ‘The bank statement of this day compares as follows with that of last week:— Weekending Loans. Specie, Circulat’n.

But the public will see with regret the movement of increase in the loans. No such movement is required at the Present time by the great intercsts of trade; it is a forced expansion, undertaken by the banks solely in view of dividends, and without regard to the permanent interest of the public. If persevered in, it will cause an excessive importation of foreign goods next spring, and can- not fail to lead to disaster next fall. It seems singular, with the experience of 1857 before them, and knowing, as they do, that the export of specie this year will prove to have been seme $30,000,000 in excess of the production, that our bank managers should recklessly pursue a course of which they must sooner or later be- come the victims. But such isthe fact; and it only now remains for Congress to apply the remedy which seems best calculated to secure the public safety. ‘The money market is active. The amount of paper offering to-day has been large, and, with a few exceptions in the case of very prime short acceptances, the prevail- ing rate for first class has been seven per cent. The bro- kers are fairly supplied with money at6a6 per cent. ‘The financial authorities are generally surprised at the turn the market has taken, and do not believe it will last. Foreign exchange opens flat for Wednesday’s steamer. Rates have not varied from those last quoted—109% a 7% for bankers’ sterling 60 days bills, and 6.1334 a 133¢ for francs; but at these figures the demand is slack; very good commercial bills are selling at 1095, and 6.15 for francs. ‘The steamer of Wodnesday will probably take from six to eight hundred thousand dollars in specie, nearly one- haif of which will be in silver; against which the steamer from Havana to-day brought $462,000 in silver.

Sight Xa ‘The stock market continues dull and depressed, and the opinion gains ground that we shall not see any active movements till after the holidays. To-day, the meeting of Congress, the unfavorable woather, and tho rather vigor- ous operations of a prominent seller, affected the market unfavorably, and we mote @ pretty general decline in prices. State stocks were especially dull, amd to offect sales holders in most cases submitted to a decline of 4 per cent. The only railroad stock which held its own was Reading, which was firm, in the morning, at 4134, and closed in the afternoon at that bid. Rumor has it that some new developements are likely to increase the value of this property. Pacific Mail was active at 4 per cent, predicated on the probability that freah efforts for a com- promise with Vanderbilt will shortly be made. The stock closed at 78 bid. Central was steady all day at 805; a 4; it closed 807% bid. The Western shares were all lower and dull, Galena was unfavorably affected by the opposi- tion with the Rockferd and Kenosha Road; some heavy sales wero made by prominent holders, and a declino of 2 per cent ensued. Panama fell back to 18334, clesing 138 bid. In the afternoon the market was generally steady, with the exception of Galena, which was lower. Stocks closed irregular at the following quotations:— Missouri 6’s, 8374 a 84; Canton, 1734 a 18; Cumberland Coal preferred, 113 a 12; Pacific Mail Steamship, 78 a 4; New York Central, 80% a 3¢; Erie, 8% © 9; Hudson River, 4034 a4; Harlem, 9% = 10; do. preferred, 35% a %; Roading, 4134 a 5; Michigan Central, 89% a 40%; Michi- gan Southern and Northern Indiana, 63 8 5; do. guar- anteed, 1734 a %; Panama, 138 a X; Inois Central, 6534 a %; Galena and Chicago, 603 a %; Cleveland and Toledo, 20 @ 34; Chicago and Rock Island, 64% a 3. ‘The following was the business of the Sub-Treasury to- i day:— ‘Total receipts -8131,179 54 —For customs. - 00 99 agai 3910 ‘The exchanges at the Bank Clearing House this morning were the largest that they have been since the 17th of August, 1857, amounting to $30,790,618 68. ‘The balances ‘were $1,614,159 81. ‘The Delaware and Hudson Canal Company has declared ‘a semi-annual dividend of three and a half per cent, paya- ble on the 2lst of December. ‘The Chicago Press of December 2 states that ‘the war between the Galena and Chicago Union and the Kenosha and Rockford Railroad companies has commenced.
