WE THOUGHT c0. On the 19th instant an extensive Abolitior meeting was held at Tremont Temple, in Boston the object of which was to set afoot measure to raise means for the relief of the family of Johi Brown, the martyr. The assemblage was im mense, between two and three thousand peopli being present, and tlhe enthusiasm was tre mendoun. Distinguished lights of the "moderi Athens" illuminated the occasion with their pecu liar eloquence, and launched their fearful anath emas at the South; and if they do not cause us al of this ilk to shake in our boots, our indifference i our own fault, not theirs, and it is certainly dis courteous in us to regard the withering scorn am contempt of our fellow-citizens of the sister corn monwealth of Massachusetts with such contempt nuons apathy. Ought we not to have some respect for them the same glorious banner waves over us, and we are bound in family relationship by all the deeds a our common fathers of the land, by the bonds a citizenship, and by all the ties which can make people one and indivisible-until the act of sever ance annihilates a past and inaugurates a future But, believing with Hamlet, that itis better to " beoa the ills we have than fly to others that we know no of," we will not contemplate a future,but strive ti bear the ills we have untilthey are increased so as t be unbearable, and meanwhile lament that such a schism should gape to dissever us, and invite som patriot to plunge, Curtius-like, into the hungr; gulf to appease its wrath and close its destructive mouth. Perhaps old Ossawatomie Brown fanciei himself the elect patriot to do suicidal sacrifice but he was not the accepted offering, and has onl_ widened the breach. Among the other intellectual and political giant of Black Republicanism who addressed the augns assemblage in the Tremont Temple was Ralpl Waldo Emerson, and his discourse developed fact which we were previously inclined to taki for granted and announce on our own unsupporter responsibility, so strong was the probability whicl sustained our hypothesis. He stated that "Jobh Brown is a farmer, the sixth in descent from Pete, Brown, who came to Plymouth in the Mayflowel in 1020." This accounts for John Brown. Thin pedigree affords him full authority for being I stern fanatic. This ancestry is his abundant ex ease for being the exponent of any folly whiel the human conscience could be warped and dis torted to justify. His fathers burnt witches, tor tured Indians, hung Quakers and drove the godlJ Roger Williams forth into the howling wilderness and where's the wonder that their son should rut an insane tilt against all contemporary propriety and seek to make a holocaust of every slave holder and slaveholder's wife and child in thi land? John Brown would thrust his rascally pike into a Virginia or Louisiana planter with as litthi compunction, and do it upon principle, as old Pete: Brown would have fired up the fagot pile around i witch, or fastened the halter under a Quaker's ear But the misfortune is that all who have the blood in them are not such valiant zealots as old Brown who heedlessly thrust his head into the lion's jaw: and so lost his power of doing mischief; but ar, rather cowards, like Waldo Emerson and hi, brethren, who, on the safe vantage ground of Man sachusetts soil, with specious and incendiarl tongues, have poisoned the minds of the masses until the great body of the people are blinded ant have ranged themselves under the baneful banner of Abolitionism. They are more despicable and detestable than old Brown, for while theyentertai precisely the same views, they have not his plucd to face danger, but add cowardice to their crying sins. We have some respect for old John Brown for he is as brave a murderer as ever whetted the assassin's knife, but we have no words applicable to those who would fain strike but have not the courage to give the blow. Such craven villaino as Emerson, as Howe, and others who have fled their country to escape requisitions, and whe dared not leave New England, though they coun seled John Brown to enter Virginia, disgrace their puritan ancestors, for they were brave with all their faults. Old John Brown will die" game" and they will live poltroons. Ralph Waldo Emerson will live tc preach the apotheosis of John Brown through New England, and to inflame the minds of the peo. pie with his vile pleadings, breathing fire and slaughter against us of the South, whren tihe more valiant old traitor shall have crumbled into dust; and yet Ralph is one of our "dear fellow-citizens," and the broad uagis of the Republic shelters him and us alike ! Are we not a loving family, and does not every element of union and fraternity exist among us? Of course! Then down with the here tics who dare to think that at some time thre Union may become too hot to hold us all in comfort! Down with the seditionists who think that the troubles occasioned by Abolitionism are but in their infancy, that the Ralph Waldo Emersons, the Beechers, tire Sewards and the John Brbwns will wax no worse, and that, with the aid of charitable forbearance, we can always get along with those who seek our destruction, and whose destruction we cannot seek in self-defense, save when they are so incautious as to step south of Mason and Dixon's line I Down with the so-called extremists who dare to contemplate a possible contingency ! Foresight is foolishness, and all men should be as blind as fortune,until misfortune and disaster tear the blind fold from their eyeo, TALK ON 'ORANGE. The gatherings on rue Carondelet and environm yesterday were numerous. Every corner of the great cotton locality had its congregations of bro kers, buyers, sellers, freight brokers, exchangs brokerso with now and then a sprinkling of the useful class, note brokers and stock operators The early part of the day was (by those connectei with the foreign cotton trade) occupied in perusing and meditating on the correspondence by the Ca nada's mails, which were received yesterday ane the day before. The private advices read highly satisfactorily to shippers of cotton, purchased ir September, or what had been received. Some o1 the new crop, Middling Orleans, had attained the high price of 71d., which will do very well; but, unfortunately, the quantity sold at that figure bears a very small pro rala of the bulk of sales, to say nothing of the many thousands of bales which have been knocked off at 4, 4)C5d. The real quota. tions of Middling Orleans on the 4th inst. were 73 @.7d. There was some talk yesterday that the conservative cotton buyers were becoming alarmed at the great number of ships loading in the several Southern ports for Liverpool. Well, we are asked, " what is a conservative buyer; what are his char acteristic?" We are pretty certain he does not buy cotton by candle light, as in days gone by, when purchasers were in such great haste to se cure the staple. We think that was in the year 1838, and possibly at a later period there have been some latitudinarian operations. It appears there are 110 thips loading with cotton in Charlese ton, Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans, which will clear within the next thirty days for Liverpool. The fast folks say, never mind; don't care; we'll put them through anyhow. Cotton is King, and Queen Victoria cannot help herself, with steel hoops, whalebone aid crinoline in general. While talking of cotton and the general import of the let ters per Canada, we are reminded of our private oprrespondence, which is as follows: er Oaenadal LreearoO Nov. 5, 1858. We lhave accounts of frost hav5lng secured through the South on the 20th ult. If tiis be con irmed, and the frost prove ktlling, estimates will be reduced, and we shall hare a very large ad vance. To-day New Middlings were saold at 7Id., but low grades are much neglected, particularly those having a little sand or dust intermi sed The apinners an. manufacturers are realizing Irge pro fits, and what will be the result of a cnrtailment of four millions of bales no one can tell. A ongress of European Powers now seem cer tain, andit is hoped with confidence we ssall have no more war for some time to come. It is hoped ere this that they are in receipt in Liverpool of accounts that there was no sprious in jury from frosts-before the 29th to the 31st of Octo ber; and that there is no question of fonu millions of bales of cotton being realized; therelore, with these figures as the general minimum, speculation will be repressed, wild and hazardous investments be prevented. But while we respect four millions of bales as a fair estimate, we do not surrender ouar own convictions, or our own figures of 4,250,000 bales as the minimum, say four and a qliarter mil lions of bales. There were other matters talked of yesterday. There was something doing on Tchoupitoelas, Paoy dras, New Levee and Fulton streets. The many arrivals from the (Ohio river and Upper Osissisaippi have added largely to the stocks of Weltern pro duce, which created increased activity on the levee and landings; in fact, the levee presented an on usual degree of briskness yesterday. Our Western merchants and traders arB in good spirits, as well as in good credit. By-the- ye, there ought not to be any losses in the greaw Western trade connected with our city. There is every in ducement for the great West to send forward pro duce. There is an abundance of shipping in port, and costs of transportation to foreign countries and Northern Atlantic ports are low ang very rea sonable; so we can talk to the great est-send forward your flour, your corn, your wheat, your pork and bacon; all the resources of tle country Iare available here. Gold and silver, e change of the best character; and as for notes of hsnd or pro mises to pay, they are not used in this market in making purchases of produce. We have been drifting away from cotton, but our t attention is attracted by some suggestions of the quantity on sale yesterday, being only 128,000 bales. The following are the sales of cottoo reported I for each week since the commencembnt of the present commercial year, the 1st September: For he week edng eptembr 0 ................ - 00 .. .. .... . .... ....... ..... .. . 17,5 o• 25 ....... s.e, October 1 ...................... 4 00 , 8 ..................... .. ,U( , S ....................... u,50 S.. . .. 29 t ...............0. 50....... 0a . .

The crop is shorý-the frost has cut short the fond hopes and anticipations of thousands who obtain their livelihood sue way or tanother through the cnltivation of sugar. Steam boat proprietors will feel the effects of the defici ency in the yield, and it will be only in certain cases or instances that the grower or planter will receive, even with a large advance in !rice, any thing of a comparative return with an average sea son. High prices will curtail consumption. The talk closed yesterday with remarks about the weather, prospects of rain, and the next steamer from Europe, which will probably be the North Breton of the 16th from Liverpool for Portland, now fully due. The next Canard stealmer will be the Niagara of the 19th for Halifax. Recent PubllhaUons. AuronOGRAPHa Y OF A R .VOLeuTo'Nr SOLDIEo . Revised and prepared by John M. Roberts, Esq. Printed at the office of the Felicians Democrat, Clinton, Louisiana. To the children of James P. Collins, revolution ary soldier, deceased, the work is dedicated by John M. Roberts, its editor, and he hao our thanks for a copy. It is a book of nearly two hundred pages, and its workmanship is quite creditable to the country press of Louisiana. The writer par ticipated in some of the most stirring end eventful scenes and battles of the revolutionary struggle, and his narrative, simply and clearly .ecounted, is very mberesung. Arrival of the Steamship M.oses Taylor. The U. S. mail steamship Moses Tayor, Capt. Griffin, from New York via Havana, arrived yes terday morning.

The Moses Taylor left New York on the 17th inst., and Havana on the 25th ; p to which date we have full advices from that port. She also brings the regular semi-monthly California mails, with dates fron San Francisco to the 5th inst., and the Panama Isthmus mails, with dates: to the 19th inst., brought up from dspinwall by the Northern Light. From Havana, the purser reports the arrival of the new Captain-General Serrano. There was very little American shipping in port. THE Vnenrios.--The very interestigg and sue cessful play by Dion Bourcicault, "The Willow Copse," will be repeated to-night, with the same fline cast as last night, Mr. Couldock i personatin Luke, and Charlotte Thompson Rose Aedling. An overture composed by Signor Carlo Patti while in the Conservatory of Music, silan, pill be per formed, and the entertainment will conclude with the farce, " To Paris and Back for Five Pounds." ST. CHARLES THEoaTEn.-Lalla Itookh has had a goodly show of the public patronage, and last night, the inclemency of the weather notwithstand ing, was received by a full audience, As a bur lesque nmelange, part pantomime and part vaude ville, it is but indifferently suited to the star's abil ities. It is not broad enough or geretain to the dash pand nir of Miss Gougenheim's stage idiosync racdes. However, as Lalna, this lady won the approbation of the audience on each occasion, and is gairing increased popularity as her abilities are being developed. CONTESTEDn SEATS IN THE UNITED n ATES HoUSE OF REPRESeNTATIVES.--The next Hootse of Repre. sentatives will have a number of caset of contested elections to decide ripen. Among the New York delegation, the seat of Daniel E. Sickles, Demo crat, from the third district, will be contested by Amer J. Williamson, American ; that of William R. Maolay, Democrat, from thie ffth district, will be contested by Philip Hamilton, Repuoblican, and the seat of John B. Haskin, anti-Lecompton Dem ocrat, from the ninth district, will be claimed by Governeur Kemble, Rcgular Democrat. The right of William C. Anderson, Opposition, Ito represent the fourth district of Kentucky, will be contested by James Chrlstman, Democrat. T. B. Florence, Democrat, holds the certificate of election from the first district of Penasylvania, but!his right will be disputed by John W. Ryan, Republican. J. R. Barrett received a majority of the votes and was declared elected in the first (St. Lortis) district of Missonri, but fraud is charged, ant Francis P. Blair, Jr., Republican, his opponent nt the contest, will contest his right to the seat in ronsequence. Ezra B. French, Republican, the representative of the third district of Maine, will also have to make good his claims against the charges of Alfred W. Johnson, Democrat. An effort will probably be made-to vitiate the Baltimore election, and, as usual, he seats of almost all the tgrriterial dele. gates will be contested. TELE.RAPPu E TO THE NEW, ORLEANS ORESCEN IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE 15R0 MEXICI O THE REACTIONISTS RETAEEN TEPIC THE BRITISH CONSUL IMPRISONED AT MAZATLAN, BLOCKADING OF MAZATLAN BY THE BRITISHI THE SOUTHERN PACIsIC RAILROAD, OBTAINMENT OF THE AMOUNT REQUIRED The Capture of Two Cotton Ships. [tN rs eirro~iAr. Leu.] NEw Yoax, Nov. 28.-The New York Times pun lishes a dispatch from Mexico, received by the last California steamer via Panama, stating that tht Conservative, or Church troops, under the com mand of General Gardo, attacked the Liberal army under General Coronado, atTepic, on or about the 8th instant, and a desperate battle was fought, it which the Reactionist finally came off vlctorioes after General Coronado had been killed, with many of his men,in defending the plaee. The Reaction tsat also sustained very heavy losses. The Liberal troops retreated to Kazatlan, whern General Coronado had previously imprisoned the British Consul at that port, because of his refuse to pay a second duty (?) on the treasure shippec by the British war steamer Calypso. Upon the imprisonment of the Consul the Cap tain of the British war steamer Amethist, then is port, brought her broadside to bear upon the town sent a force of marines ashore and released the Consul, and was, on the 8th, blockading the port o Mazatlan. He had already seized two Mexical ships laden with cotton. Capt. Stone has returned to Sonora. Southern Pacific ailroad.

Believing, as we eear tainly do, that upon this question and those relate to it-(the question to-wit, of slavery) -Joh Brown was a monomaniac, we cannot bear th thought of his being hung as a felon. They may as well spare their efbort. Brown wi certainly be hung atthe time appointed, and, as h was found guilty of treason as well as murder, w believe that according to the laws of Virgiia th Governor has no power to either pardon or resplt him without the action of the liegslatere.

Precautionary measuree it were taken in that city, and also in Versailles, by a. appointing an extra police force patrol for each district in the counties.

The same writer relates the following incident A hotel-keeper in this city only charges one dol ar a day for board. But when his guest wishes nt pay, he charges him one dollar for the day and twe oollars for the night A sufferer In this way cams before the Mayor to-day.
