I have learned, from tbe highest of all au-

little children—or have come into the world
since my public life began. I know among
them grandfather, and men muster dree, who
were boys at school when ;I first took my seat
in Congress. Time, the mighty reformer and
renovator, has silently and slowly, but surely
changed the relation between us; si^d now I
stand to them, iu loco jjaretitm—in the place of
a father—and receive from them a truly filial
reverence and regard. Yes, sir, they are my
children—who resent, with the quick love of
children, all my wrongs, real or suppoeed. Shall
i not invoke the blessing of our common Father
upon them ? Shall I deem any sacrifice too
great for them '( To them I shall return, it we
are deleated, for all the consolation that awaits
me on this side the grave. I feel that I hang
to existence but but by a single hair—that the
sword of Democles is suspended over me.
If we succeed, we shall have given a new
lease to the life of the Constution. But, should
we fail, 1 warn gentlemen not to pour out their
regrets on General Jackson. He will be the
first to disdain them. The object 'of our cause
has been, not,so much to raise Andrew Jackson
to the Presidency—be his merits what they may
—as the signal and condign punishment of those
public servants, on whom, it they be not guilty,
the very strongest suspicion of guilt must ever
iustly rest.

DESCRIPTION OF PEKIN.
^he Chinese town of Pckin is thus describ-

^8 y*u approach the city, of Which nothing
at all can be seen until you have passed under
its very wall; the buzzing, hissing, moaning of
men, asses, vomen, camels, gongs and birds
of prey? of mcnster kites and pigeons with me-
lodious instruments attached to them, and car-
rying back to heaven the extravagant inspira-
tions of Chinese musicians ; in fact all the noise
and smells that com* floating upon the wind
over this great wall, at if ail the animal crea-
tion were breathing within it, are things so
strange to a traveller, jusi arrived from Paris,
that he cannot describe them. Once he has
passtd under the ponderous northern gate, mea-
sured the thickness of the stupendous wall,and
is fairly in Pekin, he will be entirely bewild-
ered [ all before him is a confused and dusty
mass of colors, men, males, cabs, hundreds of
camels, with \he weary Mongols in their once
red gown, enthroned and fast asleep on their
high summit; an immensity of wide, perfectly
straight and endlet^ streets; a living ocean of
the most degraded began, of eooks, barbers,

at^toon to-day has already pat the
public in possession of the main features of the
execution of Capt. John prown for his treason*
able and insurrectionary doings at Harper's
Ferry. The following .embraces all the parff-
culars of the memaral^ event that seem wor-
thy of recording.
I At an early hoar the town was in moye than
usual stir, even ftrf the stirring times that have
fallen upon this neighborhood. Soon the move-
ments of the military 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 assigned for the execution.
The prisoner was brought out of jail at 11
o'clock. Before leaving he bid adien to all bis
fellow-prisoners, and was very affectionate to
all except Cook. He charged Cook with hav-
ing deceived and misled him in relation to the
support hoiwaa te receive from the slaves. He
said fcg was led by him to believe they were
ripe lor instruction, but he had found that his
representations were false. Cook denied the
charge and made bat little reply to 8ro*n.
The prisoner thea toldthe sheriff h* waa ready,
When his arms were pinioned, and ha Walked
to tlrn door- apparently calm and eheerftd. He
wore a black slouch hat and the same clothes
worn during his trial As he came out he was
taken under guard of the military. Six com-
panies of infantry and one troop of borse, with
<jen. Taliaferro and his entire staff, , were de-
ploying in front of the jail.
At the door of the jail an open wagon, with
a pine box in which was a fine, oak coffin, as
for him. He looked around and spoke to sev-
eral persons whom he recognized, and walking
the Ptrps, was assisted to enter the wag-
oki. and iw.t, on the box containing b
coffin, along with jailor VfM w*ed with
interest on the fine military display, but made
no remark. The wagon mo vol off as soon as
had taken his sent, fiauked with two files of
rjflem^n iu close order.
On reaching the field the military had al-
y dy fnll possession, and pickets were station-
ril at various points. The citirens were kept
ffii-k at tho point of the bayouet from taking
ahv position except tb it assigned them—near a
Quarter of a mile from the scaffold.
j The prisoner walked up the steps firmly,
iilid was the hrst man on the gallows. Jailor
Avis and Sheriff Campbell stood by his sid«,
aiid after shaking hands and bidding an affee-
tjonafi adieu, thanked them for their kindness.
,l|e then put t^e cap over his face and the rope
aro-ind his neck. Mr Avis then asked him to
<!ep ierward on the trap, lie replied, " You
riust lead me tor T cannot see." The rope
njriw beitig adjusted, and the iriili'ary order giv-
ep, the soldiers iJareiitd and countermarched,
and N'ok their petition as if an eu«my was in
ajgh:. Nearly tea minutes wa-. thus occupied,
the prisoner standing meanwhile. Mr. Avis
inquired if he was not tired ' Brown replied,
*' No—but don't keep me waitiug longer than
necessary."
i At fifteen minutes past eleven the trap fell.
4| slight grasping of the bands and twitching of
muscles was visible, and then ali was quiet.
Tin? body was several times examined, and
his pulse did not eea.ne beating for thirty-five
, minutes It was then cut down and placed in
' a coffin, and conveyed under a military escort
i to the d:\. >t, and f heie put in a car, to be enn
| veyed i" Harper's Ferry by epecial tram at t
o'clock
Tbe whole arrangements were carried out
with a preeision and military strictness that
was most annoying.
This morning Capt. Brown executed an in-
strument empowering Sheriff Campbell to ad-
minister on all property of his in this State,
with directions to pay over the proceeds of the
s*le of his weapons, if recovered, to his widow
and children.
ntovrx's interview with his fellow prisoners.
Sheriff Campbell bid the prisoner farewell in
his cell, and .Brown returned his thanks to him
for his kindness, and spoke ot Captain Pate as
a brave man. He was then' couducted to the
ce'ls of his fellow prisoners, desiring to take his
leave of them. Entering the cell of Copeland
md (ireen, he told them to stand up like men
,:nd not betray their friends. He handed each
a quarter of a dollar, saying that he had no
more use for money, and having said thi°, he
bid them a final farewell!
Next he visited Cook and Coppie who were
chained together. Addressing Cook, he re-
marked, "You have made false statements."
Cook asked, " Why—in stating that 1 sent you
to Harper's Ferry " Cook replied, ■' Did you
not tell me in Pittsburg to come to Harper's
Ferry and see if Forbes had made disclosures V
Captain Brown, "No, sir!" "You know I
protested against your coming." To this Cook
only responded: " Captain Brown, we remem-
ber differently." As he said this he dropped
hiis head, and Brown, as if in contempt, turn-
ed away, and addressing Coppie, said : " Cop-
pie, you also made false statements, but I am
glad to hear you have contradicted them. Stand
up like a man." Brown also handed Coppie a
quarter, and then shaking both by the hand,
parted with them.
The prisoner was next taken to Stevens' cell,
and kindly interchanged with him a good bye,
Stevens said; "Good bye, Captain—I know you
are L'oing to a better land " Brown replied :—
•' I know 1 am," aud urged Stevens to bear up,
and not betray his friends. He also gave Ste-
vens a quarter, and then took leave of him. He
did not visit Hazlett, as he ha« always persist-
ed in^lenying any knowledge of him.
CAPT. BROWN OS. HIS WAY TO EXECUTION.
On his way to the scaffold, Mr. Sadler, the
undertaker, remarked to Capt. Brown, " You
are a game man, Captain " To which Capt.
Brown replied : " Yes, I was so trained—it was
one ot the lessons of my mother; bat it is hard
to part from friends, .though newly made."
Then he remarked—" This is a beautiful coun-
trj—I never had the pleasure of seeing it be-
fore."—On reaching the field on which the
gallows was erected, Brown said : " Why aie
none bui military allowed in the enclosure ? I
am sorry the citizens have been kept oat."
. An he reached the gallows he observed Wm.
Hunter and Mayor Green standing near, to
whom he said, " Gentlemen, good bye," his
voice not faltering in the least.
While on the scaffold Sheriff Campbell ask-
ed if he would t ike a handkerchief in his hand
to;drop as a signal when he was ready. He
replied, " No—-I do not want it; but do not
detain me any longer than is actually necessa-

cumstanoes of the Harper's Ferry invamoa.
During his speech Wade was subjectjd_ to a
severe catechising from Sepator Clay, of Ala-
bam*! and some excitement wa* manifested.
At the conclusion of Wade's harangue, the
question was takes upon Trumbull s amend-
ment, to empower tha same Committee U> in-
quire into the circumstances of the United
States Arsenal in Missouri in 1855. The a-
mendment was rejected by a majority of ten
yeas 22, nays 32.
Mason's resolution, as first presented, was
then adopted by a unanimous voto.
The Senate then went into executive session,
after which it adjourned*"
In the House to day there was qwti an ex-
citing debate upon the Helper resolutions and
the question of organizsition. , .
Me&.e, of Miss, charged the Bepubli
members with wilfully delaying the pr«w
tion of the House, hy nominating and wufolly
persisting in voting for a candidate for'H~"-
er, who had recommended Helper's
book.

on pracial application it is figptd to more than

GLAZED WOOD.
Dr. J. N. Von Fuchs, of Germany, has re-
cently made some valuable discoveries in the
chcmical combinations of various substances
with silica, tbrming silicates, and these again
combining with other miuerals, making pastes
that can be molded, or spread over other sub-
stances, forming an artificial stone, very hard,
jtnd capable ot a high polisl/. A silicate of
soda is made by mixing tbity-five pounds pul-
verized quartz (white samlj twenty-three of
anhydrous carbonate of soda, and three of pow-
dered charcoal, and submitting them to a strong
heat m a glass melting pot for live hours, uutil
the whole is fused, ft is then coolcd, broken
in pieces, and dissolved in tive times its bulk
iu boiling water about three hours, during
which, water should.be added to compensate
for the evaporation. When perfectly dissolved
it is ready lor use. A cheaper silicate is form-
ed by using twenty-four parts charcoal and an-
hydrous suiphate instead of carbouate of soda.
Marble dust, when mi.ved with these silicates,
forms a teuacious paste that may be applied to
wood, to which it ndtieres firmly, becomes
very hard, is. insoluble, and capable of receiv-
ing a high polish, it must eventually be ol
great value in the useful arts. Wooden table
tops, bureaus, washstands, etc., may thus be
coated with miueral that will render them as
handsome and durable as marble, while they
will be much lighter and afforded at a cheaper
rate.
A scientific Yankee inventor has already
procured a patent for coating rood with a com-
position ot liquid si.icate and oxyd of sine, lot
writing-slates. 1 he introduction of these slates
into schools throughout the country will induce
further experiments, which must result in
cheapening those compositions by which wood
may be coated, and Bupply a demand for sC
light, fire and weather-proof material.—7W-

transactions impracticable. After waiting for
tlie arrival of the New Orleans packet until
iajte in the afternoon, we were left the choice
of going to press without news, and sending
oikr carriers to perish ot cold, or to await until
this morning with the hope ot improvement—
which we did. The night was in keeping with

exjated with the sleet and ice; the mercury

Funlral of G G. Poindjcxitir.—On last
Saturoay afternoon a large meeting was held
in jNashvilie, tor the purpose ot paying a pub
lie tribute of respect to the memory of the
ing to the future Long were the years to
him. Slbw passed the hours,. Seconds wtre
minuses, minutes were hours, hours days, days
weeks, wbeks months, months years, aud years
were like a^es. Every tolling of ths prison
ball etrue5 deep upon his heart, and every
sunset toi! k auother thread from the long skein.
Nor \ver<v t.^e h mrs less weary to hor. Hope,
that blesiud angel, sat by her day by day, and
reposed oia her pillow by night. Some there
were who laughed at her hoiy love, who sneer
ed so in-auly at h?r lover, a prisoner, miles
away But little it mattered to her. Others
might latigh—she wept; other* might point to
a man in:pvison garb, toiling away from morn
tiil night, with bat one *ur to guide him on.
Shesiw but the honest soul that mighibe saved,
or lo-t. aiid, woman that sue was, nerved her-
self to b«aii their jihef. an 1 jws.
Blessed words came to him in his lonely cell,
words of love, of kindness, and stronger grew
the heart of him who had truly his better an-
gel to watch over his unbroken fortune. Each
word from Iter lightened the hours as they
slowly went by, and larger grew the day ou
which liberty was to come. Men visited him
and with careless woid or speaking eye, threw
into his ceil a maddening thought on which his
soul must feed, and tremblingly shrink to th"
darkest corner of his liviug temple. Tlieu a
letter from her would dasli aside the dark cur
tains, and beckon him on to the spot of sun-
shine outside, and beyond his present reach.—
So passed the years. Friends died and he
wept over them.
The sin was long since atoned for, and at
last the little spot of sunshine crept into his
cell, and entering hy the key-hole of his door,
ied him foith mco tbe bright rays of liberty.—
He was conducted to the office of the prisou
by McGraw, aud a citizen's dress in place of a
prison suit, gave him, and led him into au
inner room where stood she who, years before,
had promised before God to be his. What a
meeting.
On the evening train the two arrived in this
city; and were, by one of our divines, joined in
marriage. Wc were witness to tfic ccre.nouy
and nf-ver shall forget it. Never forget the eye
moistened with happiness, nor the throbbing
of the heart that had. so long waited and trus
ted. Saved, saved !* May the future be all the
brighter fbr the dark cloud that has so long
hung over it, and true friends be ever ready to
lend a helping hand. Wo believe in wo-
man's love—in woman's devotion, the more al
tor knowing the facts above stated. God bless
the true himrt, wherever found.

The most terrible ot pains, says Hall's Jour-

of blood that they swell out, press against the
large nerves, and thus impede the cuculation
of the vital fluid. In smaller nerves tbe dm
tension produces neuralgia, which is literally

ness of the veins is that the bl«x>d is so impure,
so thick, go full of dioeaae, that it caunot tfo*

lucre is no unwholesome speculation, money
continues cheap, aud the m';ans of expanding
commerce in all legitimate direstions, have

always an excellent index ot the position of
the laboring classes—the statistics of mar-
riages aud births. Marriage*, every one
knows, increase most ain«ngftthe poor when
the poor are well employed and the necessaries
