Co., that if Virginia moves slowly she moves surely, as the late Puritan partner of Thaddeus' John Brown, discovered to his cost. Not even the dismal atrocity of Harper's Ferry could provoke this pread; some of the conservative Northern journals insisted that it would be bad policy to hang old Brown; some said he was a lunatic, others a saint; women offered to nurse the old sinner, and preachert Gov. Wise could only be on the ground here and see the intense and universal sentiment for old Brown's pardon, he could make himself the next President of the United States by letting the old fello so slowly and calmly that people at last began to say, not only in the North but in the South, "Brown will never be hung.

Smith & Co., received a telegram Saturday morning which read, "Your brig is seized by order of the Governor." Shortly after, the agents of the bark Adjuster received this telegram: Savannah, Feb. 8, 1861. My vessel is seized by order of the Governor of Georgia, on account of arms detained in N. York. Chas. A. Enell. The Journal of Commerce says that later intelligence having announced that other vessels had also been seized, steps were at once taken in New York to obtain a release of all the arms detained by the Police, in order to remove, if possible, all cause of irritation. This having been done, Mr. Lamar telegraphed the fact to the Collector at Savannah, and it is understood that orders were given to surrender the vessels to their owners. A telegraphic dispatch from Savannah, dated Saturday, confirms the statement that Gov. Brown had released the ships.

When the property of which our citizens have b
