arding the matter of John Brown's thorough devotion to the abolition of slavery, outside of personal interests, it is proper to state that Hon. Eli Thayer, in letters to the Boston Herald and New York Sun, shows conclusively that Brown committed with his own hands six deliberate murders. Thayer says: In Kansas he (Brown) dragged from their beds at midnight three men and two boys and hacked them in pieces with two-edged cleavers in such a way that the massacre was reported to be the work of Indians. He says further that Brown traveled under false names, claiming at one time in Virginia to be a geologist. In several places he professed to be a Dr. McLain, a specialist in hernia, and examined all the negroes whose masters would permit him to do so. In a Presbyterian family he would be a Presbyterian minister, while in a Baptist family he would be a Baptist minister, and so on. He was a chameleon in religion, and could change to suit the spot he found himself on. And to show that Brown

On the next day they marched to the Governor's house and demanded that Governor Tryon should desist from all attempts to execute the Stamp Act, and forced him to deliver up Houston, the Stampmaster for North Carolina. Having seized upon him, they carried him to the market-house, and there made him take an oath never to attempt to execute the duties of his office as Stampmaster. It was nearly ten years after that the Boston tea-party assembled, when a number of citizens, disguised as Indians, went on board a ship and threw overboard the tea imported in her. This was done in the night by men in disguise, and was directed against a defenceless ship. But the North Carolina movement, ten years earlier in point of time, occurred in open day, and was made against the Governor himself, ensconced in his palace, and by men who scorned disguise. —Senator T. L. Clingham. Every school-boy knows of the Boston tea-party of 1773; how many of my intelligent audience know of the Wilmington

The Tenth Louisiana went to Virginia and shared in all the battles of the retreat. Promotion was rapid in the regiment where, out of the forty officers allowed it at one time, thirty-one were killed or wounded. So not many months of active service had been seen by the regime
