Douglas Clubs in Ohio and New York-. From the papers who fly the flag of Mr. Doug las. we learn that his friends uhio are busy in tne formation or wnacmeycau "Douglas (Jiuss, the object, scarcely disguised, being to secure his nomination at Charleston. The idea was taken from New York, where these Clubs have been in existence for mouths the or ganization being covered under the name of "Spartans," just as the Know Nothings covered theirs under the sounding title of "Order of United Americans." The first we htard-of these Spartan Douglas Clubs was from a friend who viaited ISulUlo Uity in July last, ana being mista ken for a friend of Mr.

Douglas fVr nomination, gleaned the. fact that it was a secret order, and tbat arrangements had been made to have branches in Cleveland and other parts of the Western Reserve. On the 18th of July, these Spartans, finding that the secret of their order was known, held a meeting, and agreed to publish a platform. which appeared in the Buffalo Weekly Republic of the next day. They profess to go the Ciccin-nati platform, not as it is written, and as it passed the National Convention, but "as expounded bu the people's champion, Stephen A.

Dovgtas" but their onject )S more luuy sec rorcn in tne otn resolve, which reads as toliows Resolved, That in order to make ourselves effect- iva at the polls, we will act as a unit in casting OUH BALLOTS POR WJIO SHALL HAVE DilKN IN DORSED B5T THIS UKDJJilU" This resolve is so simitar to that of the Know Nothings, that it has created a well founded belief that both sprung from the same common parent and are orotners or tne same common laith. ihe Know Nothing candidate, in taking the third degree of that Order, on bended kneed, his left hand raised toward Heaven, his riant grasping the flag of the United States, is made to say, that, of his own free will and accord, he takes the oath that Whenever I may vote at an election, that vote shall, in all cases, be given for native born American citizens only, and tJiat I will ever seek the political advancement of those nun who ARE GOOD AND TRUE MEMBERS OF THIS ORDER" There is so much of a muchness between the Know Nothings" and the "Spartans," both being secret orders the one being to ostracise all foreigners, the other all Democrats who believe that there are other democrats, beside Douglas, ht for President, that it may well become the friends of that gentleman in this region, to rid themselves of the suspicion that they are not of the same sort, and that these Douglas Clubs, having the same object in view, are Dot obnoxious to the sus picion or being a new urder ot Know JNothmgism, disguised under a new name.

The Religious Press on Old Brown.

The N. Y. Observer, organ of tho Old School Presbyte- ians, taxes strong grounds against pardoning Old Brown. Assuming that he was guilty of murder and insurrection, it argues as follows: Punishment ia the government oi God and man does not spring from a spirit of revenge. It is the Iruit ot love.

demands that one who has made war upon society shall die. Philanthro py, the love or man, tne love ot the human race, the love of the greatest number, requires that murderers be punished, as Uod, who ia love, or- daintd. And we tremble less iu view of Brown's mad freak, then we do in the face of the fact tbat there is abroad in the land a senti ment that would shield him aud others from the ust consequences of their crimes. When those men embarked in this war upon the State; when they prepared guns for the white men and a thousand spears for the blacks, to be used in barbarous slaughter; when they imbrued their hands blood by taKiug the nrst victim (an honest col ored man who made no resistance, but was only seeking to escape from their hands) and murder- lug nim cold blood; when they relnsed to lav down their arms after being overpoweredj and continued their murderous worK, thy threw away all claim to compassion and put themselves on the hazard of the revolution they had begun. If others cau find any cause for pardoning such crime we cannot.

Plot Discovered A Keg of Powder Found Under the Gazette Builjjing A Villain at Labgb. On yesterday morning, Messrs. Douglass Walsh, the proprietors of ttte tuloGn in the corner room of the Gazette building, had occasion to remove a large number of barrels in the celler immediately under their establishment, and while thus engaged, discovered concealed iu a dark corner under some rubbish, a keg of rifle powder, with a slow match attached. Uur reaaers win rememoer tnat on tne morn ing ot the 7th ot Julv last, an attempt was made to fire the building, and the torch the iuceu-diary wes applied to some straw in the cellar. From the saturated condition ot the powder as fouud yesterday, with other circumstances in the case, it is supposed that the powder had been concealed previous to that time, and the villain who fired the house, also determined to blow it up.

tue plot oeen discovered at tne time, it is ore than possible that the heartless wretch would have been brought to justice, but so long a time having elapsed, there is now uo probability of finding any ciue to the perpetrator. Nashville Uazette, ytsterday. A Woman Attempts the Lifk of Hbr Husband. A woman named Jane Brown was brought before Mayor Foley in Covington yesterday mnrn ing, charged with an attempt to take the life of her husoana, Jaenry urown, uignc oeioreiast. The parties, who reside on an alley, near Greenup street, below Fourth, have mutually indulged in fits of jealousy, and criminations and recrimina tions have been common lor some time.

iNigoi before last, Brown went homo and sat down a chair, when his wife, without uttering a struck him such a blow over the head with the poll of an axe that he fell senseless on the floor. Other blows were dealt out until he was apparently lifless. She was arrested and taken to jil soon after. The wounds mnicted, however, were not so serious as she had hoped, and Brown ap peared before hia honor to testify against his wife and to ask the protection of the court. She whs committed to jail, in default of bail, for her appearance at the next term of the Circuit Court, on acharffeof assault with intent to kill.

She de clares that if ever she ia released she will kill her husband yes. Gin. Gaz. The Sons of Malta. The brethren last evening celebrated the entrance of St.

to Hold Court. Owenton, the connty seat of "sweet Owen," was the scene of a rather curious affair extra judicial the other day. Monday last was the day fixed by law for the commence' ment of the two weeks term of the Circuit Court in that county. The case of the Commonwealth va Richard Thompson for the murder of his brother in Scott county some years was to be tried. The Judge and Commonwealth's Attor ney was present, also the witnesses in the case, among whom.were ex Gov.

Morehead, and a score of ladies from Scott county. The first business on the docket was the de mand of the contractor for the payment of $100 for the use of the courthouse, (which was unfinished) threatening in the event of the refusal of the Court to allow him that sum to prevent the Court from continuing ita seesions. This allowance Judge Nuttall refused to make, whereupon a gal lant gentlemen, a friend to the ladies in attends ance, offered to pay the contractor the sum of $100, and; thereby, enable the Court to proceed with its 'business. The proffer, however, was re jected. The next thing that occurred startled every body.

Judge Nut tall said he didn't intend to hold court. That the audden snap of cold weather was propitious for the farmers to kill hogs; the. hold ing of court would prevent them, and if it were to get warm soon the hogs would eat up too much many persons nadn iaia in their wood, and be would give them a chance to do so, to keep their families from suffering. He said for these reasons be intended to adjourn" over until May. Various attempts were mAde to secure a con tinuance of the session.

P. TJ. Msjor, Commonwealth's Attorney, as an officer of the Court, sked a hearing, which was denied. He then demanded that the witnesses be recog zdd to appear in the murder case. Judge Xuttall said he didn't care whether they returned or not, and peremptorily ordered the Sheriff to.

adjourn, court. That functionary obeyed, and. the Judge left the bench, stalked out of the lit hia pipe, got on his horse and rode away from the amazed but indignant assemblage. The village was full of men from the county, nd many of them, waxed indignant. A demou-stration was made towards pursuing the Judge vr ith violent intentions, but it was subsequently abandoned.

The gentleman from whom this information was obtained, assures us there was no other reason assigned by Judge Nutall for his arbitrary conduct than what is here published. A curious case in jurisprudence. Acquitted. James B. Gay was tried last week in the Clarke Circuit Court for shooting James Price, with intent to li ill, and was acquitted.

The shooting occurred in the same affray in which Pi ice's son was killed, of which Gay was acquitted at a previous term of the court. The Highest Yet. Messrs. W. B.

C. Poin- dexter, one of the editors of the Nash villa Union and American. Mr. Poindexter was killed yester day in a street rencontre, by Allen A. Hall, editor of the Nashville News.

The difficulty grew out of newspaper discussion, which led to a collision on Thursday between a son of Mr. Hall and the deceased; and subsequently to the fatal issue of which we have no complete advices. Mr. Poindexter was a grand son of the famous id eloquent old Mississippi Senator. He was quite a young man, but had already dist nguished himself in the editorial profession.

Thoroughly educated, he conducted his paper with an elevation of sentiment rarely observable in the press. He was a generous, high minded, and honorable man, aud ia his early death the profession has cause to mourn one who would have shed great luUer uuon the literature of the Sou h. Mr. Hall is an old editor, who has recently re introduced himself into the political world. Un der Gen.

Nov. 1-4. 1859. Editors Louisville Courier; The Harper's Ferry insurrection being a matter of much concern to the people of the State of Kentueky, I called at this place, on my way to the East, for the purpose of gaining such particulars of the transaction aa might have been overlooked in the excitement which prevailed for some days afterward. The negro Copeland having stated that a simul taneous movement was to he made the S'atea of Kentucky and Arkansas, I hoped to get something definite upon that subject.

On my arrival at Harper's Ferry, on Saturday night last, I found tue piace strongly guarded. A company of U. S. soldiers were stationed in the armorv vard and at the eagine house, now famous as the place where Brawn's men were garrisoned and his prisoners confined. The citizens had formed a patrol of their most reliable men, who were to be aeeu at almost every street corner, armed with Sharpe's rifles, No man was theu or is now allowed in the place unless he could give substan tial references as to who and what he was.

I was very politely notined of that tact, and requested to give the name of some citizen who could vouch for me. Having done so, I was allowed the freedom of the place. On the next morning I visited that part of the armory yard where the active hostilities were commenced and kept up. A description of that locality and the incidenta connected therewith haye already been given to the public in a tolerably correct form. I heard the question asked very frequently before came here, "How could those men have taken possession of the armory yard and engine house, the gates and doors of which were locked and bolted, without alarming the watchmen stationed ihereP" I will answer the question as far as practicable.

The armory yard is an oblong square; from the gate at which Brown's men eutered to the opposite end is four or five hundred yards. It so happened on thenightof thelGih ult tbat all the watchmen of the yard who should have been near the gale, were at the extreme end of the yard, and consequently could not hear the blows of sledge hammers on the locks, or the prying of the crowbars under the gates. The citizena who did hear thought, of course, the watchmen of the yard were in their appropriate places, and would not suffer any one to unlawfully enter; and, hence, they gave themselves no uneasiness. The fact of the watchmen having been subsequently taken pris oners by Brown, may be plead in extenuation for any lack of vigilance on their part. In the preservation of the lives of the prisoners Brown had confined id the engine house, there was a special interposition of Divine Providence.

To look at that house now, and see it riddled and battered by the nne and musket balls to know the number and position of the citizens confined therein it seems as if nothing short of a miracle could have saved them harmless. It vrai an uncharitable remark of Gov. Wise that the prisoners behaved like sheep, or that qowardice waa exhibited by either the prisoners or citizens at tbat time. From what I have Been and heard, I think it clear tbat they did ali they could have done. On the morning of the 17tb, John Brown and his men had undoubted possession ot the town of Harper's Ferry.

They had by adroit management taken possession of the armory and rifle factory. The citizens not dreaming that it wouid ever be necessary to keep rifles and muskets in their houses for defense, were wholly unprepared for the emergency. They had no idea of the strength of the invaders or insurgents They could see that they were well armed, and that they were bloodthirsty men. They saw some of their best citizens shot down in cold blood. They could not muster a dozen rifles or muskets fit for use in the whole town.

When they did, at the risjj of their Uvea, get a few muskets but of one of the buildings in the armory yard, where it was not usual to store them, and therefore overlooked by Brown, they had no capi or balls to suit them. It required time to make moulds so that bails might be run, and to bunt up caps that might be made to answer. When they were thus indifferently prepared, they were not long ia regaining possession of their town. The greater part of the work was done before any troops reaobed them. Wheu Col.

Lee with the marines arrived, he prevented the citizens from taking any part in the attack on the engine house. While the citizens think that they should have been allowed to take old Ossa-watomie, they all unite in praising the gallantry and brave conduot of Lieut. Israel Green, of the marines, who pulled one of his men aside so tbat he might be the first to face the rifles, revolvers, and spears of the insurgents. On my arrival at this place I found it as strongly guarded as Harper's Ferry. I had no difficulty in mating mysen Known.

Through the kindness of Oapt. Aris, the jailer, I was permitted to see the coudemned men. I first entered the cell occupied hv XlUfildft ft refill, fi'tiiw nrnl nnrf Hazlett. The two former being negroes, and the lattsr toe insurgent who was arrested at Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Ihe description ot all the prisoners you hnve had, I will only iriveyou the conversation I held with them.

I asked the negro Copeland how long he had known of Capt. Brown's intentions to run off slaves from the of Yirgiuia? He answered, since last spring. I asked him from whom he got his information? The answer was almost precisely the same as given to Mr. Johnson, the U. Marshal of Ohio.

I asked him if he knew anything of an attempt that waa to be made to run off' slaves in Kentucky? He said he did; that he had heard of it in Cleveland, Ohio, last summer. I asked him to give me the names of his informants; and also such particulars concerning it as he was in possession of? He replied that he could not do so, for the reason that no good would result from his giving such information. I stated to him that it might be the means of warning the colored people against the fate that awaited him. ne replied that tho disastrous re sult of the Harper's Ferry insurrection would put an end to any attempt at insurrection in Kentucky or elsewhere. If it did not, let the slaves be warned by experience as he had been.

He gaid, however, that to prevent any suspicion as to his informants, he wou.ld say that they wore not the same persons who had aided him getting to Yirtftma, and whose names he had eiveu to Mr. Johnson, the U. S. Marshal of Ohio. Copeland is an intelligent negro.

Shields Green, or Emperor, said to me that ho had been at Brown's house in Maryland ever since tie latter part of August; that wheu he went there he did not know that anything was to be done but run off slaves. He had never heard that foroe was to be used against the only persausion with the negroes. That when he arrived at Brown's quarters he waa taken up stairs and never allowed tbcome down again except to attend calls of na ture, after which he was compelled to return. He was not allowed to write or communicate with an' one except Brown's men. Ho stated that a number of the men were similarly restricted.

IJe said he knew nothing of Fred Douglass in the Harper's Ferry matter; all the proceedings were kept from him; that he would have left Brown before the attack if he could have done so. He said running off slaves is quite unprontaoie, and recommended everybody not to attempt it hereafter. Hazlett not having been tried denies tbat he had anything to do with Brown in that denial be tells a willful li he is recognized as the man who shot Turner. The proof against him is positive. His countenance ought to have caused his hanging IoDg ago.

I next entered the cell occupied by Capt. Cook and Coppic. Cook was seated on the bedside engaged in reading the poetical works of Mrs. Hemans. If 1 waa ever astonished in my life it was when he raised his blue eyes from that book and extended me his hand.

If be had not confessed his connection with the treasonable doings of Brown, I should never have believed that it was possible for him to have been so con nected. His loos, nis language, his action, everything would give the lie to such a charge. He said to me that he was glad to see me that he bad spent some pleasant times in Louisville, and had some pleasant reminiscences ot some or the citizens whose names he gave me. He said his quaintance with Brown commenced in Kansas tnat he was placed under pecuniary obligations to him that he had renlly befriended him that he, Cook, believed as did Browu on the subject of slavery, and tbat he intended in good faith to set the slaves free that he could have lei Brown, but having taken a solemn oath to stand by him he would forfeit everything rather than violate that oath. Ha fully corroborated the statement made by Green, the negro, in reference to the watch tbat was kept on a part of the men who were at Brown's house.

He said that that portion of them who were kept up stairs did not know anything ot the intentions of Brown until 11 o'clock on the Sunday morning before Harper's Kerry was taken. The Constitution was then read to them by Stevens, and tbat some of them did not then seem to understand it. He denied, with feeling, that he ever came to Harper's Ferry as a spy. He said that Captain Brown had learned that Forbes had divulged the secret to the Secretary of War, and ordered him, Cook, to repair to the Ferry to ascertain whether such the fact, believing that if Forbes had betrayed tb.3 plot, it would be easier to find it out at the ferry tnan at Washington. He said that heknew the arms were to be used, for he had taken apart one half of the pistols and thoroughly cleaned tbem that he had also fitted and fastened on the handles of most of the spears.

He admitted that Irom his position on the mountains he had kept up a continual firing on the citizens on the day of battle. He said he had no desire to escape as long us there was the slightest hope of aiding Captain Brown. He said that there was really no necessity for his being taken, because Tidd and Coppic, brother to the one in the cell with him, were with him fifteen minutes before he was taken; that he could have sent either of them for provisions, saved himself, biit he would not place any-one in a position he was unwilling to occqpy himself. He said that there was only 22 men, all told, with Brown; hut they were as brayp men ag ever lived, or would ever die. He said that a mistake had arisen as to what he said of Fred Douglass! he never stated, of his own knowledge, that Frtd Douglass was to be at the Ferry, in person.

He says tbat Owen Brbwn told him so, and he don't tiink Owen Bro.wn would lie. In talking with Cook I could not help feeling sympathy for him; with his intelligence and the true game he evinces, he mighi have made for himself a brilliant name." Coppic bays he did not know anything of the attack until the Sunday morning before at 11 o'clookj that he went into SATURDAY NOVK1HBEK 10, 1859.

Brownsville in Ashes- The telegraph last night brought an authentic intelligence of the capture of Brownsvile, Texas, by Cartinas and his band of brigands. The city was luid in ashes, and over one hundred citizens brutally murdered. Immediate steps should be taken to punish these Mexican outlaws. We have no doubt but that the Government will exert every energy to bring these villains to justice.

Gov. McWillie, of Mississippi, in his recent message, takes the position that the terms Abolitbniata and Republicans are synonymous, and that the rabid Abolitionist is the least dan gerous of the two." In view of what he considers the probable contingency of a Republican President, he recommends that the Legislature should snact a law making it the duty of the Governor, in the event of the election of a Republican President, in November, 1850, to issue his proclamation ordering an election for delegates to a State Convention, to be holden on the first Monday of December next thereafter, and that said delegates be appointed to assemble at the capitol, in the city of Jackson, on the third Monday of the said month of December, 1S0O, for the purpose of adopting such measures as may meet the exigency of the occasion. 1 would farther recommend that you should adopt resolutions inviting the other Southern States to co operate with the State of Miasissip pi in tho adoption of such measures as may be necessary for the maintenance of their and our rights, as coequal members of the Confedeiacy. This is all that, for the present, I would recommend to be done." Impiiovements in Jefcerson ville. Arrangements have been made for the erection of a very large cotton mill immediately above Smith Smy-ser's large flouring mill, by a company of capital ists from Lowell, Mass.

The factory will be five stories high above ground, and will employ several hundred hands; in fact it will be one of the largest establishments in the country. Messrs. Smith Smyser will have an interest in the factory, and will have charge of the erection of the buildiugs. The propelling power will be water from the falls the same water used by the flouring mill. "We shall expect to see, in a few years, numerous other factories along the margin of the falls, as capitalists must see tbat this is the best place in the country for the erection of manufac-Jurirg establishments.

We, speak from direct personal knowledge of transactions in Washington, when we say that within the present year not less than eleven British naval officers and merchant cautains have received testimoni als, io some form or other, Irom the President of the United State "sent acunowieogment otser-yices rendered to distressed Americans at sea. A', handsome gold chronometer, appropriately inscribed, together with a gold chain, was presented by the President, in February last, to Capt. Charles Robertson, Of the British ship Sir John Moore, for rescuing 16 seaman and 35 passengers from the wreck of the American Bbip May Queen, on 1st oPSeptember, 1858.

A similar chronometer and chain was presented in June last, to Capt. Hodgson, of the British brig Antigua Packet, for rescuing the crew and passengers of the American ship St. Petersburg, from their sinking ship, in October, 1858. In. the same month, a gold medal, with a neat inscription, was presented to Capt.

C. Matthews, of the British ship Admiral, for rescuing the crew and passengers of the ship A. of New York, at sea, on the 5th of October, 1858. Ia July of the present year a gold chronometer and chain were sent to Capt. fctraker, of the British bark Constellation, for rescuing from the wreck of the American three masted schooner Gulf Stream, in December, 1858, the captain and crew of thai vessel.

During the month of September a gold cbro-cometr and chain were presented respectively from the same high functionary to Capt. Robert Waite, of the British ship Retriever, for rescuing the crew of the American ship Sarah Minot, destroyed by fire at sea on the 29th June of this year, and to Capt. Peter Conrai Petrie, of the hcrew tteamer City of Washington, for the same service to the oaDtaiu and crew of Amerioan ship Gray Oak, by taking them from their boats after their ship had foundered in the month of March lust. The President has also lately presented a trulv valuable sword of honor to Lieut. J.

Jenkins, of Her Maiestv's eunboat Banterer, for rescuing certain American citizeDS and their property from Chinese pirates in the River Mi in December, 1353. A gold chronometer and chain have been pre sented to Capt. Wm. Williams, of the British bark Imogene. for rescuing the crew of the American ship Fleetwood, lost iu the South Atlantic in May last.

In February last the President's thanks were transmitted to the officers of Her Majesty ves- Kite and Jaatur, at Bermuda, tor tbeir alacrity in searching lor the American bark Parthian in November. 1853. at which time she was report- ed to be in distress off that island. At the same time the President's acknowledg- ments were made to the officers of her Majesty's ships Samarang and Vulture, forservices rendered to the American bark Sea breeze, at Gibraltar, in October, Since that time a similar compliment has been paid to Capt. Hand, of the Royal Navy, for de tailing Lieut.

J. Jenkins, with the Banterer, against the Min pirates'. Although not strictly from the United States Government, the forty-one gold medals recently piesenttd by the Chamber of Commerce and citizens of New York to the officers engaged in laying the Atlantic cable are not to be omitted from this list. They, like the gifts from the President, will prove heir-looms in the families of the recipients, and will aid in creating ties which the quarrels of politicians will fail to break. Now each of these instances tells doubly; for let us remember that every gift in the list is a return for English services English services of sue 3 a kind as to challenge attention and public recognition from the chief of a great State.

One of the largest and most ueautiful nurseries Iq the vicinity of Cincinna ia that of Dr. Joseph Taylor located on the Kentucky side of the river, a short dis- tancu above Newport. We paid a visit to it, on Saturdav, and while we were astonished at its extent, and the almost un limited variety of trees and shrubs, we were es pecially struct with the wonderful thriftiness of the plants. To persons procuring young trees for an orchard, or ornam iiital trees for their grounds, it is ot the hrst importance to have them thrittv. Such trees grow rapidly, aud soon repay their owner by their fruit and shade, but unthrifty trees in thp nursery, are apt to have a sickly existence afier transplantation.

It may seem singular that oue of the largeBt and finest nurseries in this celebrated fruit growing region should be on the Kentucky side, although it Is well known that some of the finest specimens exhibited at the Horticultural Society have been raised by amateurs on that side of the river. It is not only the position of the Kentucky hills, sloping to the river and lying in the warm sunshine, but the soil seems peculiarly adapted to promote the growth of young trees. With Dr. Taj tor, the business of cultivating shrubbery is a labor of love. Re pursued it as uu amateur for many years.

With him it is a matter of pride to have the best uud thriftiest of every variety, and those ordering from the Terrace Garden Nurseries may rely upon getting a first rato article. Cin. The Nursery named above is one of the finest in the country, and recommends itself to those who wish fruit or ornamental trees. Dr. Taylor will have aa agent here in a short time, who will receive orders, or they can be sent as above.

Conjectures were rife about tbe matter and in tbe absence ot Mr. Jueriam tbe prevalent opinion was that one of the numerous balloons which the scientihc amateurs tbat secticn or the city have been so fond of infUting and setting oil had exploded, and the expanding gas taken fire, producing the remarkable appearance. The General Superintendent telegraphed to inquire whether the great balloon at the Central Krk wa-ssafe, aud received for reply that all was correct.

Even crustiest of old bachelors must acknowledge this in his heart, nowever disappointment may bfto soured his temper.

Of course every mother recognizes this description of ringworm to which the still more disgusting cuta neous aueouou kduwd ub beam neaa is next or sin. Probably nine-tenths of us have had a touch of these unpleasant eruptive complaiuts at onetime or other, and most ot us know that they are not only disfiguring but excessively annoying and painful. vVe are aware too that moat ofthe nos trums recommended for them merely spread and aggravate inflammation, and that it irequently leads to confirmed disease of the skin.

The organization of "Rifle Corps" ia going on in every quarter, and almost ever- newspaper we open irom the Thunderer down has a leader on the subject. The Loudon correspondent of tbe Manchester Guardian, writing just before the departure of the Asia, says "SliU tbe same uneasy feeling in the minds of all with whom I exchange ideas on the subject of our foreign relations. I am afraid that this uneasiness grows mora and more serious the nearer' we mount to the fountain head of publio action.
