vehave not, in any irutonct, offered the El 

 Volume of the Rural NftW-Yoiunn for leas than 



our published rates — and whoever expects the 

 lowest club price ($1,88) to be reduced to $1 per 

 ccpj, will be disappointed. Oar aim and deter- 

 mination is lo adam itrictfy to p . 

 treating all friends and agents of the Rural alike 

 fairly and honorably. Any one offering the paper 

 for less than our rates, is cither an imposter, or 

 very generous in paying us more than he receives. 

 Wt ha: < no traveling agents. The persons who 

 have recently been traveling through the West 

 end elsewhere, pretending to act by our authority, 

 or to be connected with the Bubal, are swindlers, 

 one and all. The proprietor of the Rlbal gives 

 no certificates of agency, has no partners in busi- 

 ness, nor any relative traveling in bis or its behalf. 

 We hope some of tbe pretended partners and 

 relatives, who, taking advantage of tbe popularity 

 of the Rural and the gullibility of tbe people, are 

 obtaining subscribers, will be headed and jailed 

 soon. Grutes and gruel would prove salutary.

No expectation is entertained by the Adminis- 

 tration that Mr. Forsyth can make a treaty in 

 Mexico, or enter into any satisfactory arrange- 

 ment. The President considers an armed inter- 

 vention necessary for tbe protection of our 

 ciliieDBi and, as a precautionary measure, lo 

 anticipate a seizure by some other nation, before 

 a total disruption. Eogland has intimated a 

 willingness to our possession, leaving the pay-

Cosuruss met on Monday morning, the 5th inst. 

 Great interest was felt in the organization of the 

 House, and tbe election of Speaker. Long before

 were unable to obtain admittance. Mr. Allen, the 

 Clerk of the last House, called the House to order 

 at noon. Tbe din of voices immediately ceased, 

 spectators were excluded from tbe lloor and the 

 members took tbeir seats. 



Tbe roll was called and J?.l members answered

Tbe Senate was called to order by the Vice 

 President. Forty-eight Senators were present. 

 The credentials of John C. Ten Eyck, of N. J., 

 and Henry P. Haun, of Cat., were presented. 

 Both appeared and were qualified. Tbe absentees 

 are, Messrs. Benjamin, Clay, Crittenden, Davis, 

 Douglas, Fitcb, FtUpalrick, Hammond, Johnson, 

 of Ark., Polk, Sebastian, Seword and Toombs. 



Mr. Mason, of Va., submitted a resolution for 

 tbe appointment of a Committee to inquire into 

 tbe fads attending tbe seizure of tbe armory and 

 arsenal at Harper's Ferry, by a band of armed 

 mm, and whether any citizens of the United 

 States not present were implicated therein or 

 accessory thereto by contributions of arms, 

 money, or otherwise, Ac. Tbe Committee to 

 have full power to send for persons nnd papers. 



Mr. Trumbull, of HI, gave notice that when the 

 came up be should move lo amend by 

 the inquiry to the seizure of tbe 

 Frantal'm. Missouri, 



the forma- 

 tion of our government, was enacted at Cbarles- 

 town, Jefferson Co., Va , on the 'id inst., when 

 John Brown yielded up his life to tbe majesty of 

 the law. We have already published all tbe de- 

 tails of the insurrection at Harper's Ferry, and, as 

 intense iuterest is connected with this cose, we now 

 give the closing scene in the life of the leading 

 spirit connected with that insane foray against tbe 

 regularly constituted powers of Virginia. Th< 

 military assembled at y o'clock, and were postei 

 on the field leading to tbe scaffold, and also a 1 

 various other points, in conformity with the gen 

 eral orders. Everything was conducted under tbt 

 strictest military discipline, as if the town were it: 

 a state of siege, mounied guards being stationed 

 woods, to the left of the scaffold, and picket 



ry which kept the 

 new was joined in two noilow squares, one within 

 the other. In tbe centre of these stood the scaf- 

 fold. Between the inner and outer lines of troops 

 spectators were freely admitted, but none were 

 allowed to remain outside tbe outer line. 



The prisoner was accompanied from the jail to 

 the scallold by the Sheriff and his assistants, and 

 Capt. Avis, the jiik-r, tbe procession being escort- 

 ed by a body of military consisting of six compa- 

 nies of infantry, one ride corps, and a company of 

 horse. There was no clergyman present, Brown 

 having declined all religiouscerenionies, either in 

 the jail or on Hie scaffold. Brown was taken to 

 the scaffold in a small cart, in which was placed 

 also bis coflio, a plain affair, made of white pine. 



On arriving at the scaffold, tbe prisoner looked 

 around calmly upon tbe assembled multitude for a 

 moment, and then mounted the scutlold with a 

 firm step. Ihs arms were now pinioned by the 

 Sheriff, when the prisoner stood silent for a mo- 

 ment. He then uttered a few words of farewell to 

 Cuptain Avis and Sheriff Campbell, when, at 11 '; 

 o'clock, the trap of the scaffold was pulled away", 

 and with a few slight struggles John Brown yield' 

 ed up his spirit. After thirty-five minutes had 

 passed tbe body was cut down, placed in a ooffin, 

 arid conveyed under military escort to the depoi[ 

 when it was put in a car to be carried to the Ferry 

 by a special train at 4 o'clock, and placed in Mrs. 

 Brown's possession. The remainder of tbe insur- 



ew Mexico, says be sow Kit is good health, 

 amediately preceding his departure, and hence 

 npbalically contradicts tbe report of his death.

The Times has again a disquieting article on th» 

 relations of England and France. It complain 

 tbat in France every iostrumeot that can woi k or 

 public opinion is employed to raise a violent spiri

 on a war with England as not remote. The Timei

France.— The formal and official ini

 indicating any place. It is i

 protested against the nomination of a Regent, by 

 Piedmont, as such a Regency would be contrary 

 the conditions of Peace signed at Zurich. It 

 stated also tbat England has made representations 

 agarnit the Regency. 



The Paris correspondent of the Times of Satu 

 day, says that a confidential communication of a 

 important nature, has been addressed by the Mil 

 ister of the Interior to all the Prefects of Franc 

 with a view of obviating tbe effect produced i 

 England by the violent language of tbe French 

 press. The Prefects are instructed to invite such 

 journals to be More circumspect. Tb,

 the rights of the country might easily avoid offend,

 interest of tbe alliance of France, and the main-

The warlike article in the London Times of the
