Nowr," said Lent, who had gone to the
w iodows of the dwelling and inspected erery
part around, "advance, every man. There
is no one there but Brownson himself. We
will call him out and demand his money.
All 'assented."' With noisless steps "they
n ached the house and posted themselves at

voice j com nanded Brownson to come forth.

'I, Peter Lent." j

continued Brownjontas he opened the dopr:

Lent, as he watched the" gaze of hi astonish

They were met by the wife, who jpathetic.

"We would do anything for you, fnadam;
but your husband is a marked man, and must

Thus spoke one of the committee who had
proposed the punuhment. As if convinced
of the right of ret ribu'ive justice, thej woman
offered no further, argument fo'r mercyr but
quietly J though more like a spectre j than, a
thing of flesh and blood, glided to'q j seat in

empty handed, 1 he smiled contemptuously,
saying, as he did t

contains only what a poor man should possess.

Brownson and his wife were buried at the
foot ,f the oal, tree. . As may! reasonably be
supposed, tales of supernatural appearances
connection with the tree were freely cir-
cJlated among the ignorant and credulous,
and the spot was, for a long period, shunned

thfe death of the foroffer and his bosom com.
pajnion, and the impossibility of finding gold
here it was said to be, are excuses for these
nonsensical rumors. j

The scathed and. blighted remnant has all

No dwelling was erected on the sight of
the burned tenement. The only punishment

i Tber Pcuitentiary Question.
The Editor of the" Raleigh Independent,
who is himself in favor of a Penitentiary, says
that he is satisfied from the tone of the Press
ofthe Stale, and the silence observed on the
ubject ut the various meetings lately held.
that the pcblic mind is settled down in opposi
lion to a Penitentiary. We confess thai We
are surprised at this conclusion, as well as at
thej strange premises taken by the Editor
Xrom which he derives it.- It is our opipionl
that a majority of tho Presses in the btate
are! in favor of the' measure; but with one cbn
sent they seem to have determined that the
question shall be, freely discussed pro and con,
and! that no partisan bias shall be .given to it;
