in such numbers at the Theatre this evening as

Advibtisino We take pleasure ia calling the
attention cf oar readers to the advertisements or
Mr. Horace M. BaTry, to be found in our . paper
to-day. Mr. Ii.' must sell a good article, and,
cheap, for his ales are very rapid In this - tov

Barry came hero with a large" lot of articles, onl Mis
od sene prompted hira first to let the public
know it by 'advertising, nnd he reaps the reward
of allimch men by quick sales. Ve are acquain
ted with merchants doing busiHesshere thitma
of our citiiei s do nt know that there are such
firroj ia existence. Cutter & French, CoUn &
Rvttenbcrg, and a few others have the attention
of every buyer. It is yet time to profit by such
example?, and we invite their attention to this'
net. If tlfere is any artie'e worthy the attention
vi the poetic u wilt oe louna advertised in our
Tits Street. We'would call the attention of
the authorities to the condition of one or two al
ley ways near our' office. Some -persons are de
termined to keep them filthy, the orders of the
military to the contrary notwithstanding. We
inow the authorities have labored faithfully to
put these ploces in proper order, and it must be
annoying to do over again what ha been done po
well once. The offending parties should be eaught
if such a thing be possible,-and made to suffer, as
th heahh of every one depends almost entirely
upon the sanitary condition of the city.

CooccEping the apparently mysterious organ
ization krrown under the cabalistic-designation
of " B. M. D," Hoxv.pvef, there need be no
mysj-ery. The real signification of these, letters
we uii'dcssMud to be " DiscipUs of the Monroe
doctrine " not defenders,- as heretofore an
i.ouwcvd. The order tad its origin in New Or
leaa1, in Jandary, 1864, aud its defenders were
Col. Burdon, and -ol. George Coolbaufrh, then
recenllj' of Maj.'Gen.McPhersn8 'staff, who
organized a lodge in New. Orleans, where a
constitution and set of by-Haws werfestab.ished,
Major General N. P. Banks elected President
tor the State of Louisiana, and Col: Coohaux't
chosen Gand Secretary.', Thence ti e order
spraad to Texas," where Brig Gen. A. J. Hah
llton. Military Governor of the Stat, was flee
t d President for Tnxag, and accepted the post
irran eloquent speech, denouncing the attempt
of the crowned bead, of Eufipe to put do;n
Republicanism on the American Continent and
insisting upon the. right of American eitiren?
to go t tlie aid of their republican brethren
Kesolutions were' at the slme time' passed' ap
pointing Benito Juarez the Constitutional Pres
ident of the Mexican Republic, also. President
of the Order. Copies pf tb-e resolutions were
torwarded to'Makr General Banks, then in
command at New Orleans, President. Juarez,
Minister Romero, and the First French Nation
al Club of New York. Colonel and Grand Sec
retary Coolbaugh then came on to New York
and assisted in the organ zation which followed
in'the j or them States;
Here is of course, only a brief .outline of the
origin of the order, bat it affords some hints of
its -hamctcr and. purposes, of which the French
Emperor, tho Austrian Hapsburghs, and , Bel
gian Leopold, and their mercenaries, will ltarn
more in due season.

Mr Dear Sir Oh yesterday afternoon a gen

of which the foltowvijg is a copy : "CoPJames

V erv. truly, yours,

ANSWER 01" GOV. WISE TO JFERXAN DO WOOD.- "
-' RicnsioND, Va.r Nov. 4, 1856.
Mt Djeiar;;Sir I .have duly received-, and
weighed every word of your letter, ; I give it all
credit for good motive and good morals, and as
suggesting what, perhaps, is good policy.
No w. listen to me, -for my mind is inflexibly
made up . . . . ,
Ha I reached Harper's Terry bf fore these
men were captured, (and I woufd have reached
there m time -had been forwarded as I ouht
to hare been from Washington arid the Relay
House). I would have ' proclaimed martial law,
have stprmd them in4 the , quickest possible,
time, liNve pien them no qu arter, and it any
had survived I would have tried and executed
them under sentence of court, martial. But I
was too late. Tlie prisoners we e cap'ives, and
I then determined to protect them to the utter.?
most of my power, and 1, did prott ct thomwith
mv own person. I etscorseu uiem 10 pnsuu,
and placed around them Such a force as to oyer-.
awe .Lynch, law.. very cqoaiort wasgiven inem
b v ray orders . And .they h a v been scrupu
lousiy- afforded a fair and , speedy trial, .with
evey opportunity of-defence for crimes wjiich
were openly perpetrated before the eyes of hun
dreds, nod bs openly c6ntessed. ;.vThey; could
escape. conviction onlyhy technical exceptions,
and the chftnees lor these they had to a 'greater
degree by the expedition of prosecution. And
the crimes deliberately done by them are of the
deepest and.dnrkest k'nd whih can be commit
ted against our people. Brown, the chief leader,"
has ht-en legally anU fairly tried Hd convicted,
and admits the humanity, of his tr atment afa
prisouer, the truth of the indictment, and the
truthfulness fthe witnesses against him.., He
has been allowed excels of cduns 1 arid the
freedom of speech beyond any prisoner known
'to me in our trials. It wa impossible not to
conjict him. He is sentenced to hehjang; that
is the sentence of a1 mild-cod1, humanely ad
judged, and requires no: duty from me txcept
to se thaf it be executed. I h.vn t sign no
death warranty If the Executive interposie? at
all, it is topard m ; and to pardon him I have
received petitions, prayer?, threats from alnajat
every free . Statt in tbeDnioo. From ' honest
patr otic men like yourself, many of them, I am
warned that : hanging will make - bin a martyr.
Ah! Will it? .Why ? JTtie obvious answer to
that question Shows me above anything the ne-
cessi.y for hanging vhim. You ask: "Have
you nerve enough to send. Brown to the Stata.
prison, tor life instead of taniing him V 5 Yer,
il I didn't think he outiht to be hung ami ttiat
