Correspondence of the New York Herald. The Interview between Gov. Wite and Old Brown Misrepresented Remarkable Litter from a Vii--Qini-i Lady for Arm A Massachusetts Lady Ap-pliesio Go. Wi6e for Permission to go Old Brown in Prison. Richmond, Oct.

29, 1859. I hare heard Governor Wise questioned to-day regarding the nature of the interview which he had with "Old Brown" at Harper's Ferry; and whether the statement circulated by the press, that Brown in an impertinent manner said to the Governar, "If you have your opinions about me, I have my opinions about you, was true. The Governor positively denied the truth of this statement and, moreover, added that "Old Brown," during their interview, never uttered a single word which was personally offensive to him. The Governor says that somebody in the crowd applied to Brown the epithet ot "robber," and Brown retorted by saying, "You" (alluding to the slaveholders) "are the robbers." And it was in this connection that he said, "If you have your opinions about me, I have my opinions about you." At this time the Governor remarked to him, "Mr. Brown, the silver of your hair is reddened by thebloud of crime, ana is meet toatyou saoma escnew these hard allusions and thins upon eternity.

lou are now suffering from wounds, which, perhaps, may terminate your existence, and should you perchance escape death from these causes, you will have to submit to a trial in our courts which may involve that result. Your confessions are of such a character which might well justify the presumption that you will be found guilty; and even now you are committing a felony undertbelaws of the State, by uttering sentiments like those you have just expressed. It is better you would turn your attention to matters concerning your eternal luture, tnan Dy aeaang aenuaciations whicn can only injure you. Brown replied by saving, "Governor, I have. from all appearances, not more than fifteen or twenty years the start oi you in the journey to that eternity of which you k'ndly warn me; and whether my tenure here shall be fifteen months or fifteen days, or fifteen hours, am equally prepared to go.

There is an eternity belupd and an eternity before, and the little speck in the cen ter, however long, is but comparatively a minute. Tbe difference between your tenure and mine is trifling, aud I want to therefore tell you to be prepared; I am prepared. You all (referring to slaveholders,) have a heavy responsibility, and it behooves you to prepare more than it does me." Such, as I gathered them from Gov. Wise, were the substance of the remarks on both sides. The Governor denies that Brown uttered them to give offense; on the contrary, he states that Brown disclaimed any such purpose, having merely expressed what were his convictions, aud this in a manner indicating no design of offending.

This explanation the Governor was anxious should be made public, as an act of justice to Brown. A remarkable letter was sent to Gov. Wise this morning, through the Adjutant General of the State, by a lady" from Fairfax county. She states thtit there were a great many Yankees residing in her neighborhood, whom she suspected to be Ab-tlitioniatd, and requested that a Sbarpe's rifle would be forthwith sent to her, to the care of a friuud in Alexandria, whose address she gave. She said she had plenty of nerve, aud all she wanted was the means to exercise it.

I am informed that the Governor send her a rifle, accompanied with a request that she would raise a volunteer corps of women in her region. J'er contra; Another letter was received from a Boston lady, asking the Governor's permission to go to Charlestown to nurse old Brown, and pledging her honor, while she was a strong Abolitionist, that slip would take no improper advantage of the privilege. Ths Jetter poufined a note addressed to Brown himself, which she requested the Governor to forward to him after he had read it. Both were unquestionably the best productions 1 have ever seen from the pen of a woman; and, woman-like, they breathed all the sentiments ot sympathy, kindness and affection that martyrdom in a holiercause might be supposed to elicit. She avowed heraall" frankly a thorough Abolitionist, while disapproving the moans resorted to byBrown to accomplish the ends sought for.

One thins was apparent from these productions, aud that was, that she was truly sincere in her opinions; and the Governor could not help expressing regret that so accomplished a person should suffer under such an illusion as seemed to have possessed her. He will grant her permission, and guarantee her perfect immunity from any violence or indignity in the Siate. but as to the privilege of acting nurse to Brown, that is a matter in the discretion of his physician at Charlestown, and he may admit or exclude her at will. The presumption is, however, that she will havo entire liberty to exercise her humane offices in behalf of that "brave veteran," as she designated old Brown. Washington.

The latter dies game, and made to-day a strong emancipation speech. He is beyond a doubt a monomaniac, and should be so treated.

Every body pitches into Douglas. Senator Gwin has au article in this niormog's Constitutiou, in which he calls upon htm to account for his view that a Territorial Legislature may by non-action irtunlly exclude slavery from a Territory, which, in his judgment, is a great heresy, and opposed to the Dred Scott decision and the view (ormerly entertained by Douglas himself, lu conclusion he thus sums up the Omerence between iur. Douglas and the Democratic party, as sustained by --he decision of the Supreme Court, viz; Whilst he admits that thia lnbirjitea power cannot be exercised directly by Congress, he yet contends that it may be exercised Dy a territorial government created by CoLgres. Now this her- ol Air. uou-nus is not ouiy in conmct who opiuiou of the Supreme Court, but also wit'J thutot the dissenting Judges in this case; for on this one point, that the power of a Territorial government created by Congress could not be contradistinguished from that ol' Congress, the opinion of the Court was unanimous.

roe declaration, then, oi air. uoasias. a ferritorial Legislature can exercise auy power withiu the inhibition of the Constitution upon the power of Congress, 13 contradicted Dy the deliberate judgment ot" every member of the Supreme Court of the United States, aud here I may well rest the question." ALPHA. Thk Trans -Atlantic Balloon. Mr.

T. S. C. Love commenced, on Monday, tbe inflation of his mammoth balloon at the Crystal Palace, New York. A peculiar interest attaches to this enter prise of Mr.

Lowe that raised it above the ordinary level of balloon exhibitions. The daring scope of the proposed trip, and the utter novelty of an air voyage to Europe, together wilh the scientific improvements Mr. Lowe introduces in this, his great experiment in serial navigation, combine to impart considerable importance to tbe undertaking, and to account ior ine general in terest that is ken in it.

About a week or ten days ago I was crossing what might be termed "Literary bquare," since it contains the "Mercantile Library," "Bible House," and "Cooper Institute," and is bounded by the "Historical Society" and "Astor Library," when I observed before me a man of about middle age walking rapidly towards theEast river. It was a very cold, raw day, but the man was dressed a light coat, whits pantaloons, and panama hat.

He was of medium hight, having light hair and com-nleiinn. and a mustache; a high forehead and a clear bright eye gave character to his face. Thia man was Col. Henry Forbes, whose name has just come up in connection with the Harper's Ferry outoreaK. Memphis Racbs.

The Female Forty Thieves still continues to prove an attraction at the theater. It was performed last night for the fourth time to another excellent house. We are pleased to notice that the concert is varied each night. To-night Mr. Robert Jones, the prompter and author of the Hidden Hand, as well as the Female Forty, takes a benefit.

The success of both these pieces is due, in a degree, to the careful manner in which tbey were arranged for the stage by this gentleman, who has no superior in his Bpecial vocation. We hope he will have a crowded house. He certainly deserves one. He presents an exceedly attractive bill, the Female Forty Thieves, the Children in the Wood, and the Yankee Duelist, three excellent pieces. In the latter piece Yankee Bierce, the only real delineator of live Yankees, (since Dan.

Marble,) sustains the principal character. We hare heretofore unintentionally omitted noticing Mr. Hamilton ia connection with the burlesque now performing. His part is not a very important one, but his travestie of Metamora is cleverly done. He is a very accomplished actor in his line, and is deservedly a favorite with the Louisville public.

The great success of his remedies, his Sarsaparilla, and King of Pain, and especially of his Compound Pectoral of Wild Cherry, has give them a world-wide reputation, and his deBk is covered with orders from all parts of the world. His Pectoral stands without a rival ia all diseases of the lungs and throat. Those who wish evi" deoce of the fact have only to call upon the Doctor at his depot, on Fifth street, north of Main, and he will show them well attested cases of innumer able cures thai will astonish them, as they have already astonished the medical attendants of the patient.

Schiller's Centennial. We are pleased to see that our German fellow-citizens intend commemo rating the hundredth birth-day of their immortal poet, Schiller, by a grand concert, ill and supper at the Masonic Temple. This interesting event occurs next Thursday, the 10th inst. Schiller was a man for all time one of thefine3t poets and philosopher's of the age, and it is due that proper reverence should be paid his great name and memory. We foudly trust that many of our native fellow-citizens will combine with their German friends in the proposed ovation.

The confession was voluntarily made to Mr, Johnson, of this city, United States Marshal foi the Northern District of Ohio, and to Mr. Martin, United btaies Marshal for the Western District of lrgvoia.

Copeiand was informed by both these gentlemen, previous to his confession, that there was no possible chance to save his life; that the proof was ovewhelming agaigrhim, and the prisoner seemed fully to realize his situation. He wished, standing, as he was, on tbe verge of the grave, to tell all lie knew about the conspiracy, and he complained bitterly thathe should be made to suffer diath, having been pushed into the matter by others, who should have known better, and who used him as a tool for their wicked designs. Until after he was fully implicated he denies knowledge of tbe insurrectionary character of the expedition, and avers that his only thought was that of stealing niggers to send them to Canaia and there tree them.

This was sufficient to create alarm. On their return the then absconding blacks were tried by the court of three plant-era. Though no direct evidence was adduced, jet enough was elicited to induce the belief that there had been an extensive combination formed for the dreadful purpose. The Governor of Virginia offered the sum of $10,000, and the gentlemen uf the city of Richmond $10,000 morel' as a reward to any one who would give information of the head of this project, but no one was tempted to betray the secret. A lew days after the $20,000 reward wasofiered, a little African boy came into a grocery store in Richmond aad asked for a quart of rum.

The grocer asked him for whom lie wanted it. He said for htsuDcle Gabriel. That African, when twenty-one years of age, had asked his master how much he would take for him. His master replied "Gabriel, no money would buy you." "But," said Gabriel, "should I buy myself!" "In that case," said the master, "I would take five huudred dollars for you." "Then I am ready to pay," said Gabriel. "Had I thought so." said the master, "I would not have made the offer but, as I have said it, 1 will not draw back." Gabriel was manumitted.

He then commenced the learning of the English language, and in a short time tie learned reading, writing, and arithmetic. He was intelligent, sober, and amiable. All people who knew him esteemed him highly. He tvas 25 years of age when the reward was of fered. Such was tbe man who sent his nephew for a jug of rum, which cost him his life.

The grocer asked the ooy wuere nis uncie n-aoriel was. lie replied, iu the Sally Ann, a vessel at tbe dock. just ready to sail lor St. Domingo. Tbe grocer told the boy to wait a nine ror nis return, notice was given lo an officer, and Gabriel was and then put upon his trial.

He thought some one had been tempted by the great reward to betray him, and ho confessed the whole. He said their plan was to fire the city at the end op posite tbe arsenal. Men were appointed to nng tbe fire-bells, aod while the citizens were drawn off to extinguish the fire they intended to seizu tbe arsenal, rusu mto toe city, ana staugnter all indiscriminately, except a few young lathes, who were selected to be tbe wives of some of the leaders. All these measures Gabriel avowed as his own device. He said that bis earliest thoughts wero occupied by thes plans; that he had traded and increased his stock to five hundred dollars at lho age of twenty-one; that he hud made himself ac quainted with learning with this sole olject; that he had traveled expressly turougn tne houuiern States by night, riding down many horses, in preparing the Africans tor his measures, and that he had formed, iu caves and remote places, depots of arms.

He also told the court that had not God interfered by a greet rain, that so swelled a stream in the neighborhood of Richmond that his assembled band could not pass, they would not, at that day, be sittiug as his judges. But, said the Court, "ird.onei, we all osseem you. i ou have not been tnougnt cruel, liow could you devise a scneme oi sucu almost indiscriminate bloodshed?" Gabriel coolly rephad: "It is not that I de light in the shedding of the blood of meo. But there is no other way of procuring our Ireodom. I love my nation.

hnve as good a right to be free from oppression as you had to be tree from the tyranny of the King of Eaglaud. 1 know my fate. You will take my life. I oiler it willingly as a martyr to liberty. My example will raise up a Gabriel, who lead on the Africans to freedom." Gabriel was executed dying without a mur mur, cool, collected, iu ic iaitn mat nis oeatu would not be in vain.

These incidents are em bodied iu a song called "Gabriel's Defeat," and set to a tune of tbe same name, made also by a colored man. The writer of this hss heard the tune in Virginia, where it was a favorite air in the dances of the w'iite people; aud it need not bo added that the song was and pernaps still is popular among the colored population of the State. advertisement. Passenger Railway. Editors Louisville Couritr; i he spirit mani fested by the press some time since in regard to our street railway seems to have worn out eutiro-ly, and it has tacitly cousented to resign this important matter into the bauds of a few stockhold ers and speculators, ii is no uiuie wumier the community that this apathy should be exhibited ou the part of the press than tint the Council should trifle so long and so successfully wito au interest ao important to tnis comumaity.

To me the manner ot disposing of this matter seems most plain and simple. If not, why have other cities, who have led us every other commercial enterprise, established their roads ou varied principles, and witnessed taeir suc cess. New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baliimore, Cincinnati and St. Louis did, without so much wrangling, collusion and frequent attempts at monopoly, give out their grunts without a bonus or tux to the city, others paying a bouus. Beforu the different citizens ot the cities, as, for lastauce, Philadelphia, knew the importance and ultimate success that awaited street railroadsthey were given to the pruutees witbout any indemnity or einolumeut lo the city.

Latterly more has been required by the provisions of the ordinances, as 01 mm isinciuoau. iu ino former case a grant obtained trom the City Council exempting the grantees from tax was vetoed by the Mayor, who recommended an amounts accruing from said grants over a certain sum should bo applied to a public park, This honest but unwise recommendiition of the mayor's will undoubtedly be disobeyed entirely, as the laws of Maryland do not warrant any such dnirfpstion udou the part of the mav or.

Zl, 1859. A prayer meetiug is to be held in Shiloh Presbyterian Church, to-morrow evening, the object of which is to give an opportunity to the Christian friends of freedom in this city of offering their prayers in behalf of John Brown aud hU a3sociatesnow in prison.

Cot'. Malt. a state of great and increasing excitement, which will hardly be allayed so long as "Old Ossawatomie Brown" continues to live. Rumors and reports of movements by the Abolitionists to rescue crown and his men, now on trial at Charlestown, or to avenge their death, Bhould they be executed, were in continual circulation, and the authorities were constantly sending and receiving telegraphic dispatches on the subject. The purport of these communications was not suffered to transpire, but enough had leaked out to keep up the fever.

From the remarks of the counsel tor the prosecution in opposing delay in the trial of old Brown, as well as from the few words dropped by the Court (Judge Parker) in that connection, it was inferred that an attack of some sort was momentarily apprehended. PREPARATIONS FOR DEFBNSB. Arms had been freely issued from the United States armory at Harper's Ferry, and bad been placed in the hands of every citizen in whom confidence could be reposed. A military company the United Guard, Capt. Sinn, from Frederick, Maryland had been lor some days at Harper's Ferry; a company of forty or fifty men had been enrolled in the service of the State at Charlestown, receiving $1 50 per day each, to guard the court house and jail; and, besides, many of tbe inbabitautB bad organized themselves for patrol service, and were scouring the country in various directions.

The reporters at Charlestown were informed, on Friday morning last, that thirty or forty marines had arrived at Harper's Ferry, but no marines had reached thereon Saturday morning, and it is possible that the story was only told in order that the Abolitionists, who are supposed to read the papers, might be deterred from making another attack at that point. THE NEGROES STILL UNDER SUSPICION. The inhabitants are not by any means easy in their minds as to the temper of the slaves and free negroes among them. Colonel Washington, Who was one of old Brown's hostages, does not spend his nights at home, and we are assurred that many other wealthy slave owners, whose residences lie at a oistauce from those of their neighbor's, also regard it prudent to lodge elsewhere for tbe present; and yet the personal courage of these gentlemen cannot be questioned. It has been ascertained, reports to the contrary notwithstanding, that many negroes in the neighborhood, who had been tampered with by Cooke and others of Brawn's gang, had at least cognizance of the plans of the marauders, if they did not sympathize with them.

Qn the night that Col. Washington waB taken, a free negro, who has a wife on the Colonel's plantation, was spending the night there, and although he might iu half an 1 hour have raised the alarm two or three miles distant, he refrained from doing so, and the first news of tbe affair wa3 brought to that village by citizens of Harpei'a Ferry the next day. There is no doubt that Washington's negro coachman, Jim, who was chased into the I river and drowned, had joined the rebels with a good will. A pistol was found on him, and he had his pockets filled with ball cartridges, when he was fished out of the river. A MYSTERY.

On Sunday evening before tbe attack, a gentle- man on thb way to Harper's Ferry was stopped in a loDely place, three or four miles distant, by a i white man carrying a rifle, and two negroes I armed with axes, who told him there was some- thiug going on at Harper's Ferry, and he must turn back. He did bo, aud the men remained standing there until he was out of sight. Who these parties were, or what their connection with Brown's party, is still a mystery. MORE OF BROWN'S HEN AROUND. It is certain that Brown's party was considera bly larger when tho attack was made than he has acknowledged, or was at first supposed.

There must have been at least thirty men, Besides the two sons ot Brown who were killed, another (Owen Brown) was engaged with Cooke most of me day on Monday in carrying arms from the Kennedy farm to the school house in the neighborhood of Harper's Ferry, and made his escape at night. Stevens and Coppee each acknowledged, also, that they had a brother in the fight, and they have not been beard from since. Three or four I men who were stopping at the Wager House on the day Brown had possession of the armory, also left very suddenly at uight, and are suspected ef having been couperned iu the matier. One of them had previously been at the hotel and regis- tered a different name. Circumstances have also transpired leading to tbe belief that wounded men have been concealed the nerghborhood for several days, and have received the attentions of a physician.

At the Relay House, a few nights sioce, a man rolled himself from the train lrom Harper a Ferry while it was still in rapid motion, aud when picked up he was found to have a se vere staD or gun snpp wouua in nis side. rJLe was arrested on Buspicion, and ia still in custody. STRANGERS SUSPHCTED. Every stranger who steps from the cars at Harper's Ferry is closely scrutinized, and at once put under surveillance, especially if at the hotel he registers his name as comiug from a Northern or Eastern State. Auy movement beyond the hotel is sure to be followed by arrest, and an inquiBtiiou as to kin business.

SometimeB ludicrous mistakes are made, as, for instance, iu the arrest of two Southern gentlemen, one of them a clergyman, on their way to a Presbyterian Synod. At Charlestown still greater vigilance is maintained, and no traveling ogent or peddler can remain in the place, three or four of that clas3 having already been sent away. On Friday afternoon, while Brown was on trial in the court house for treason and murder, a well dressed man who had just arrived in town, and who spoke with a rather nasal ccent, was on trial belore a committee ot citizens, in the yard of the court house, on suspicion ol being au Abolition spy. Tbe man appeared highly indiguaut at the questions put to him concern ing nis ousiness, out nnaiiy gave a satisiactory account of himself, and was suffered to go his way. OLD- BROWN INSANITY.

The Virginians will not for a moment tolerate the idea that Brown is a monomaniac on the sub ject of slavery, bedeviug that the plea is only started oy his ineuas at ine iortn ior tue pur pose ol gaining time to nt out an expedition ior his rescue. The apparent madness and folly of his attempt, they say, is only apparent, since he ceriaiuly expected not only an uprising of the td-ives, but large reinforcements from the North. The fact that he left all ins property and his important papers exposed at the Kennedy farm was the only aj mptoui of iuaanity, and can only he accouuted for on the ground thtt he expected them to be taken charge of by other bands of Abolitionists who were to arrive during the day. FKED DOUGLASS' TREACHERY. The reporters were informed, after the arrival of Cooke at Charlestown jail, that he had been even more commuuicativo than old Browu, but reporter was allowed to see him.

His captors (who have occasionally made a few dollars by cntching runaway negroes,) say that Cooke told them if Brown had taken his advice and retreated to the mountains at one with his prisoners and what arms they could gather, they would have been able to succeed, and that as it was the enterprise only failed through the cowardice of the negro Abolitionist Fred Douglass. That individual was to have arrived at tbe schoolhouse with a large band early on Monday, but Cooke says, "I conveyed tbe arms there for him, aDd waited till nearly night, but the coward didn't come." COOKH IN JAIL. A slave owner named Brown visited Cooke in jaii on Friday, and recognized him as identical with a half crazy fellow who visited his place, fifteen or twenty miles distant, in the early part of last summer, and pretended to be engaged in writing a history of Virginia. He went all over the plantation, conversed with the negroes, and finullv staid over nitfht. After he had gone, a letter was found on the parlor table, urging Mr.

Brown to take stock some Southern railroad enterprise. Cooke recognized his visiter, but had very little to say. Mr. Brown observed that whenever he did speak his lip trembled, and he neemed creatlv agitated in view of his approach inir doom. After Cooke was arrested he was kicked and beaten by a gang of men at work on a bridge near by, who had observed his desperate struggle with his captors.
