The Deeds of Marion's Men. A SONG OF THE SOUTH. Our poets may sing of the lives that fling Their light o'er a world sublime, And sages may tell of the names that dwell Like stars o'er the clouds of time: But among the deeds that are sung or told, In the legends of now or then, There are none more bright, there are none more bold, Than the deed.s of Marion's men. In the gloomiest strife of our country's life, When her dawning was darkened by night; When tyrants were found on her holiest ground, And her friends were scattered in flight; When the best of her children, unarmed and unfed, Were hunted through cavern and glen The red ranks of Albion trembled with dread, At the deeds of Marion's men. Ah ! the emblems we raise to acknowledge their praise Will not crumble in tempest or wave; Their monuments stand thro' thelength of the land, In the hearts of the noble and brave: For their mem'ry will shino, and their glory will last, Giving light to the days that have been; And long shall our freeraen he proud of the past. And the deeds of Marion's men. Whenever a gun in the glad morning sun; When the stars of our banner unfurled, Proclaim the great day whose beautiful ray Gave freedom's first hope to the world; When the shouts for our heroes like deep thun ders roll From ocean to mountain top-then Remember the grandeur of Marion's soul, And the deeds of Marion's men. J. 0. C. Remember. 'Tis well to walk with a rheerrul heart, Whenever our fortunes cull, With a friendly glance and an open hand, And a gentle word for all. Since life is a thorny and difficult path, Where toil is the portion of man, We all should endeavor, while passing along, To make it as emooth as we can. The Old Crow. On the limb of an oak sat a jolly old crow, And chattered away with gloe-with glee; And he saw the old farmer go out to sow; And he criod-" It is all for me-for me! " Look, look, how he scatters his seed around, He is wonderful kind to the poor-the poor: If he'd empty It down in a pile *on the ground, I Could find it much better, I'm sure-I'm sure.' "Ive learned all the tricks or this wonderful man, Who has such a regard for the crow-the crowZ That he lays out his ground in a regujlar plan, And covers his corn in a row-a row. "He inust have a very great fancy for me, He tries to entrap me enough-enough; But I measure the distance as well as be, And when he conies near me, I'm off-I'm off!" Non-Intercourse the First Remedy. The Richmond Jptirer of the 2d instant contains an article, with the caption ab->ve, from which we take tho following extracts: Full and complete n,. intercuarse, enforced byfines and yinalies that will keep out of our borders every article of uortbern mnanu facture, or imporitation, will teacha nor'therna merhants and manufacturers, that a peopie slandered by their papers, pialaged by their citizens, and murdered by their ruffians, may be for a wvhile still longer enslaved by the Constitution, but that every moral cord k.av ing been sundered, by their fanaticism, the last ligament, that of trade, we will sever, and make the Union as worthless to the North as it has become odi .us to the South. A New York merchant recently visited our office, as ho passed through Richmond, on a business tour to the South, and informed us that the cool manner he had been received by Richmond merchants convinced him tof the feeling of our people towards the North more than everything he had seen in the newspapers. Business transactions, and even conversationi, he found embarrassing, and be concluded to pass on further South andl to await a calmer mioment before again giving Richmond a call. We hope the merchants of our sister south ern cities, will treat every northern dr-unmer ith politeness, but decline all transactions of a business character. The letters of these drummers to their employers will go up to the North with far more potency than any other mode of address. T[he stilt sall coice f a repulsed drummer will act most potent ly upon northern sentiments. By success fully defeating northeFn trade with the south ern States, we may, if desired, see negroes boght and sold in Boston Common as im days gone by. Manufactures and commerce, the twin idols of northern religion, once trown down, a shout of condemnation will risc from the pennyless employees of motion less manufacturers, from tho starving owners ,f ships rotting at their wharves, that will silence the saturnalian howl that now reigns throughout the North over John Brown. This Act, " That roars so loud and thunders in the index,' revealing the "black'and grained spots" of aaticism, will make the North "Assume a virtue if they have it not." To show how munch the North is in the power of the South, we maay cite an instance within our own experience. When about es talishing our Adrertising~ ~S'pplemecnt, we visited New Ysork amnd Botonm to consult with the large houses in those cities aa to the pro priety of embracing the North-western states in the gratuitous circulation of the .edrerti sing Su1plement. Without .in exception, every northern house, consulted by us, ad vised omitting the North-west, saying that it was bankrupt, and that twudb in years, if ever, before New York recovered the losses of her merchants in the North-west prior to the late financial revulsion. These houses wished to deal with the South-de sired their advertisements to go before the southern people, whose staples brought the ready cash, and whose merchants wvere the most punctual customers of the northern houses. The pocket nerve, the miost sensitive nerve in the organism of the northern people, can be so touched as to produce lock-jaw at least upon the press. Every enactment of our Legislature, every well-sustained resolution of our people for non-intereourse, tingles along this nerve, anid produces spasms more or less violent according as the occasion is stringent. We hope non-intercourse laws will be adopted by every southern State. Once let these laws stand upon our statute books, showing to the foreign world that their goods will find a preference in the sotuthern mar kets, that our tobacco, cotjon, flour, rice, iiu p=r and con wm at hand ton make the retum cargo, and we will no longer be tributary to the North. We will then have this poor, barren, bleak manipuladnig, not producing section, laid suppliant at the feet of the Sout b: the cry of abolitionism will have no more potency than a puppy's whine. But our peace will not only he attained, an impetus will be given to southern manufactures, that will place us independent of the world. While the factories of Lowell, Lynn and Springfield will become the haunts of bats and owls, those of the southern States will be vocal with the hum of life-giving trade. Let non-intercourse be-enforced byfines and penalties, that shall make itfull, peifect and coniplde. Let the State send a commission of two of her ablest and most talented citi zens to the l-xecutives and Legislatura of the southern States to urge the adoption of similar laws, as well as to confer with those States as to the propriety of immediately summoning a convention of the southern States to decide upon the future course of the United South. "Non-intercourse," as the Enquirer con tends, is the first and best remedy which the South can employ to protect itself front the insults, the dangers, and the wrongs, to which it is exposed, by the aggressive anti-slavery fanaticism at the North; fur it would bring about almost the same relations in trade be tween the two sections of the Union, which disunion would produce, and teach the North, what we fear it will not believe, until the fact is demonstrated, that the Union is worth in. finitely more to it, in dollars and cents, than it is to the South. The South has often threat ened the North, with declarations of cominer cial independence, which she has treated as empty threats, asserting that the South never can be commercially independent of her un til she can manufacture and carry for herself, and that she can never do either as long as she employs slave labor. And there has al ways been a large party at the South, ready to treat the suggestion of commercial non intercourse with the North the same way. But this party is jutt now smaller than -it ever was, and if Virginia can devise a plan, which can be enforced, by which she can break the chains of that commercial and in dustrial vassalage to the Nort h. in which she and her sister States of the South have been bound soong, there are other southern States which are ready to adopt it and carry it out. But, we have republished the preceding ex tracts from the Enquirer, for the purpose, particularly, of endorsing the suggestion which they contain, that a convention of the south emn States should be called for the purpo-e of adopting some line of policy, in the present critical condition of affairs, upon which they may act as a unit. Such a - convention, it seenis to us, is absolutely necessary, if we desire to preserve the Union, and at the same 'time protect our rights. The Union, as every man of any iscern ment must perceive, is weaker to-day, in the affections of the people of the South, than it has ever been. Its enemies are confirmed in their hostility to it, and even those who have claimed to be its friends, as the paramount political good, are ready to abandon it, as something which is worse than worthless to the South. 1 These lamentable facts may be traced to the recent affair at Harper's Ferry, and to some of the results which have fol lowed it. That affair, in itself, was a con temptible effort to excite a servile insurrec tion at the South, which ended in the most Rignal failure. But, it has been followed by manifestations of the feelings and opinions of the northern public, in referet:ce to slavery, which have exasperated the people of the South, exhausted their forbearance, and weak encd the ties which have heretofore bound them to the Union, through thirty years of continued insult and oppression. front the North. They expected, from the North, an outburst of horror at the bare attempt of old John Brown to overthrow the General Government, by delugimg the South with blood, arid an inidigniant protest against tihe suspicion of sympjathby or complicity with hinm. In these reasonable expectations they have been disappointcd. The North has openly avowed its symupathy with old John Brown.-has made a demi-god of the vulgar vagabond who has been guilty of all the etimues in the Code, from petit larceny to treason ; and after he has died the death of a crinuinal on theC gallows, has cantonised him, in its presses and its pulpits~, as a imyrtyr andl a saint, and declared that his coniduct was worthy of Chris:ian, benison, instead of sha:imie Fuml death.

Cui.a4arsioY, Dee. 2.-Captain Brown was hung to-day at quarter past eleven o'clock. the military assembled at nine o'clock, and were posted on the field where the execution took place, and also at various points sur roundiug. as laid down for the general orders for the day. Everything was conducted ac cording to the strictest military discipline, as if the town was in a state of scige. Mounted scouts were stationed in the woods to the left of the scaffold, and picket guards were stationed out towards the Shenandoah mountains, in the rear. The military on the field formed two hollow squares ; -within the inner one was the scaffold, and between the inner and the outer lines the citizens were ad mitted-no one being allowed outside of the lines except the nounted guards. At eleven o'clock the prisoner was brought ont of the jail, accompanied by Sheriff Camp bell and his assistants, and Capt. Avis, the jailor. A small wagon containing a white pine coffin was driven up, on which Brown took his seat. Six companies of infantry and ri flemen, one company of horsen:en, and the general and staff oivers, numbering twenty five, headed the procession, which soon moved towards the place of execution. The prisoner was not accompanied by any minister, desiring to have no religious cere monies either iii the jail or on the scatold. He looked calmly around' on the masses of the people, seemingly fully self-possessed. On reaching the scattoild he mounted it with a firm step. His arms were pinioned by the sheriff, and he bid fArewell to Captain Avis and Sheriff Campbell. At half-past eleven o'clock the trap was pulled away, and with a few slight struggles John Brown yielded up his life. The following embraces all the particulars of the memorable event that seem worthy of recording: At an early hour the town was in more than usual stir even for the stirring times that have fallen upon this neighborhood. Soon the movements of the military drew all the citi zens of the place and all others who had been able to gain admittance to the town, to the vicinity of the place assiged for the execution. The prisoner was brought out of jail at elev en o'clock. Before leaving he bid adieu to all his fellow-prisoners, and was very affection ate to all except Cook. He charged Cook with having deceived and misal him in rela tion to the support he was to receive from the laves. He said he was led by him to believe they were rife for insurrection, but he ha-l ftundi that his representations were false. Cook denied the charge, and made but little reply to Brown. The prisoner then told the sheriff he was ready. when his arms were pin ioned and lie walked to the door, apparently calm and chieerful. He wore a black siouch hat and the same clothes worn during his trial. As lie came out he was taken uuder guard of the military. Six companies of infantry, and one troop of liose, with Gen. Taliaferro and his entire staff. were deploying in front of the jail. At the door of the jail an open wagon, with i, pine box, in which was a fine oak coffin, was waiting for him. He looked around and poke to several persons whom he recognised, and walking down the steps, was assisted to enter the wagon, and took his seat on the box containing his coffin, along with Jailoi Avis. He looked with interest on the fine military lisplay, but made no remark. The wagon moved ol as soon ~as he had taken his seat, lanked with two files of riflemen in close or ier. On reaching the field the military had al ready full possession, and pickets were sta tioned at various points. Tlie citizens w re kept back at the puint of' the bayunet from taking any position except that assigned theim-iierly a quarter of a mile from the seatuold. Through the deterinitmed persistance )f Dr. Rtawlings, of Fraik L-slie's paper, the .rder excludinPg te press was parially re sinded, anmd the reporters were assignedl a po sitiomn near the.General's staff.

Entering he Cell of Copeland and Green, lie told them to tand uip like men and not betray theIr riends. He handed each a rituarter of a dol lar sayinig that he had ino more use for money, an having said this, he bid theum a final fare well. Next he visltedl Cook and Coppie, who were hained together. Addressing Cook, he re marked, " You have nmade false statements." Cook asked, " What do you meanu?" Brown replied, " Why in stating that I sent yonm to Iarper's Ferry." Cook replied, " Did you not tell me in Pittsimrg to come to Harper's perry and see if Forbes had rmade disclos res?" Captain Brown, " No sirf You know [protested against your coming." To this Cook only responded : " Captain Brown, we remember differently." As he said this he ropped his headl, and Brown as if in con tempt, turned away, and addressing Coppie, said: " Coppie, you also made false state merts, but I am glad to hear you contradicted hem-stand up like a mian." Brown also banded Coppie a quarter, aind then shaking both by the hand, parted with them. The prisoner wacs next taken to Stevens' ell, anid kindly interchanged with him a good bye, Stevens said: " Good bye, Captain-I know you are going to a better land." Brown repie : " I know I aim," aiid urged Stevens to bear up, and not betray his friends. He also gave Stevens a quarter, and then took leave of him. He d-d not visit Hazlett, as lie always persistod ini denying any knowledge of himt. Captain Brown on hiis wa|| to the Execu fin.-On his way to the scaffold, 3Mr. Sadler, the undertaker, remarked to Capt. Brown, " You nre a game man, Captain." To which Capt. Brown replied: "Yes, I was so trained -it was oiie of the lessons of my mother; but it is hard to part fronm friends, though newly miade." Then lie remarked: " This is a beutifud country--I never had the pleasure of seeing it. before." On reachinig the field ini which the gallows was erected, Brown said: "Why are none but military allowed in the enclosure ?1 I anm sorry the citizens have been As lie reached the gallows he observed Wil lian Hunter and Mayor reen standing near, to whom he said, "Gentlemen, good-bye ;" his voice not faltering in the least. While on the scafold Sheriff Campbell asked if he would take a handkerchief in his hand to drop as a signal when he was ready. Ie replied, " No-I do not want it; but do not detain me any longer than is actually necessary." The body of Capt. Brown arrived at the Ferry at five o'clock, and will be taken on by Mrs. Brown and her friends by express direct to Albany, New York. It is desired to avoid all public demonstration on the route, and Mrs. Brown is determined that the body shall not be seen anywhere on the route to North Elba, v-here. it. will lie depoitel in the ftumily burying groind.

Dec. 2.-John Brown's execution to-day attracted considerable crowds ahone i he newspaper otlicos a. I lie evening editions were issued, and several individuals proienaded the streets with crape attached to their per. sons. Religious services were held in several of the culored churches the mnost part of the day. Otherwise there were no: manifestations unusual to every day life in this city. The meeting at Tremont Temple to-night will be presided over by S. E. Sewall. At the mee ting of the Senate to-day, after prayer by the chaplain, Mr. Luce, of the Nan ticket district, moved the Senate adjourn on account of the execution of John Brown. Mr. Rich, of Suffolk, opposed the motion, and the yeas and nays stood eight for adjournment, and eleven against. In the llouse, Mr. Ray, of Nantucket, moved an adjournment, ofilering at the same time resolutions of :ympathy for Brown. A spicy debate followed, when the motion to adjourn was defeated-yeas six, nays one hundred and forty-one. At Concord, New Hamipshire, the bells were tolled for Brown. Tremont Temple was crowded this evening to commemorate the death of John Brown.

T. !y have heretofore been published. J. S. Martin, a negr? of Philadelphia, fol lowed. He lauded the acts of John Brown, at the same time slightly rapping the Repub lican party for its lukewarmness inmnot doing likewise. A remark made by him that Vir ginia in her act to-day was the most guilty of all the guilty mothers of the American Gov enent, was received by mingled hisses and applause. J1. Q. A. Griffin of Malden, a member of the House, next addressed the meeting. HeI claimed that the heinons oifences of Pontius Pilate in crucifying our Savior whitened into virtue when compared with those of Governor Wise of Virginia, in his course towards John Br:own. He also stated that it was the opin-1 ion of no less a Democrat thain Hon. Caleb1 Cushing, asa lawyer, that the proceedings of the Gxoverno~r and court of Virginia in trying and coiindxig Jrohn Br-own, were without the sanction cd the Constitution and laws of the United States.

Senator of Ithode Island, has wrkten a letter, condemning the foray of John Brown. He adds: There are some distinguished men from whom we differ upon this subject. Now, thore is one thing we should like to have explained by Mr. Emerson Mr Phillips and the others who tell us that John Brown is the man who has made it possible for an American to own without shame in Europe that he is an Ameri can, who proclaims that his cause is the one for a true man to follpw ; that his gallows is to be forever glorious, like the cross, and much more in the same style. If all this is so; if John Brown, in his late.attemipt, was the mod. el man; if he did what it is uie high duty of a noble-hearted spirit to do, if he set the example which is worthy ofstieh unqnualified aldhmiration aml of iimitation, why in the world do not these heros ine..n wh talk 'io loidly go and do what ie did ?
