The Whereabouts of Cnpt. Cook and his Insurrectionary Arms. HAOERSTOWN, Oct. gentleman just from Harrisburg says that Cook's wife came' into that town day before yesterday, and stopped atthesame place where Old Brown's son's wife was boarding. HAOERSTOWN, Oct.

statement must be true. Cook's wife is not at Harper's Ferry. She left some days ago. The sheriff of this countv tracked Cook as far as Green Castle to dav, anil the impression there was that Cook had left for Chambersburg. The opinion here entertained is that Cook passed through last night.

The sheriff was credibly informed at Green Castle that a load of boxes passed through there ou Tuesday for Washington county loaded with rifles, pistol and pikes. Sheriff Hank is now on the look out for them. A gentleman named John Cuthbertson, who resides in Chambersburg, informs us that Cook's wife certainly did go to Harrisburg on Tuesday, and took boarding at the same place where Brown's daughter-in-law has been lodging for the last two or three weeks. Cook's wife left the Ferrv several daps before the disturbance broke out.

PARSING COUNTERFEIT A man named Ernest Trautman, keeper of a lager beer shop on the Point, was arrested yesterday by Captain Lynch, charged with passing'spurious gold coin, ft seems that Trautir.an went into the liquor shop of a man named Mice, in Fell street, and there made a pur chase, tending in payment what was thought to be a gold dollar. Change was given him and he left the house. It was subsequently ascertained that the piece was made of pewter. A pet son who saw the transaction in Mice's honse related the circumstance to Capt. Lynch, who was in the neighborhood.

and shortly after Trautman was observed walking on Canton avenue. He was watched until he entered the cigar store of John Kelner on Canton avenue, when the officer approaching, looked through the window and saw him receiving some change from the proprietor. Immediately on his exit Capt. Lynch went into the store and asking to be shown the money Trautman had pronounced it a counterfeit, and quickly pursued and arrested the accused. There were two or three plugs of tobacco and nearly two dollars in silver found upon the person of Trautman.

He was committed to jail by Justice Griffin. REGULAR RESUMPTION OP TRAVEL ON THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO QUIET. The mail train from the West, under conductor iley, arrived at the Camden station in due time yesterday at 3 o'clock P. and everything is reported as being perfectly quiet at Harper's Ferry. Governor Wise returned lion yesterday, and the troops of all descriptions have been with'drawn from the scene of the late insurrection.

Colonel Shutt, in the employ of the Railroad Company, left yesterday afternoon in the 4 o'clock Western train, for Ha per's Ferry, being commissioned tn organize a sufficient police force whose duty it shall be, to guard at all times, the railroad bridge at the Ferry. This is done on the part of the Railroad Company, to allay fear and quiet all anxiety on the part of the travelling public. DEPARTURE OP The United States Artillery from fortress Munroc, who have been quartered since Tuesday lnorniag at Fort McHenrv, received orders yesterday to return to their old quarters, and departed in the Norfolk boat at 4K o'clock, leaving behind, however, some forty men, who had received passes, allowing them'to go through the city and view the sights, and to whom the latest orders, could not be communicated. Lieut. Cooper, yesterday evening, called upon Mr.

Barrett, Superintendent of the Police Telegraph, who kindly communicated to ail the police stations, tiie purport ot the last orders; also requesting the officers of the several districts to notify all the soldiers, whom they should discover on the streets, to report themselves at Fort McHenry to-morrow morning. CHARGE OK ENTICING AWAY A Hester Tilghinan, ncgress, was arrested yesterdav by officer Thornton, charged with enticing a boy slave from the service of Peter S. Spilcker. It appears that Hester is the mother of the boy, and some time since, before the Orphans' Court, swore that he was an orphan and had him bound to the service of Spilcker. Subsequently the boy disappeared, but was afterwards found, under circumstances leading to the belief that the woman had enticed him away, and she was sent to jail upon that charge.

She was released a short time since, and the boy again disappeared and has not been heard from. Hester was arrested the second time at the instance of Spilcker, and committed to jail by Justice Audoun to answer the above charge. MEETING OF THE AMERICANS OF THE EIGHTEENTH WARD. A meeting of the Americans of the 18th ward took place last night in Ilollins Market Space. The evening was very cold and windy, notwithstanding which a pretty large crowd was assembled round the platform.

A band of music was on the stand, and there was some display of fireworks during the evening. Mr. McPbail spoke first, and said that it gave him pleasure to meet his fellow-citizens of the 18lh ward on this occasion. They were about entering on the sharpest contest they had had since the existence of the American party, from the enemy by whom they had been un formly opposed, but on this occasion they came under another form, and that was Re- form. We have met them as Union men, as party men, and as militia men, and then we gave them the worst licking they ever got.

But in God's name, what do they desire to reform Is there anything in the principles of the American party that needs reforming at the hands of any American whose heart is in the right place We have been able to drive them back heretofore, and I think we can drive them back in the next contest. Did we not successfully drive in their pickets, and shall we not, in this 18th ward, knock down the fabric on election day which they have erected? After alluding to the Harper's Ferry riot, and asking where the Reformers were on that day, the gentleman took his seat, on which loud cries were made for Hon. Henry Winter Davis, who came forward amid much cheering aud the smoke is lifted a little from the field of battle of Wednesday last, and we found out where cur enemies are, and what encourages them, and we wish to encourage them again after the same fashion. (Laughter.) We have beaten them very badly. The time was, when securing one-third of the City Council would have been considered a mere defeat; but we see them, R3 soon as the smoke has risen from the field, congratulating themselves on the great results they have achieved.

They set out to relieve Baltimore from the horrors of club rule, but, it is singular to say, Baltimore still prefers club rule. Starving to death from the withdrawal of confidence in trade, it is singular to say that Baltimoreans prefer an empty stomach to a full one. They started out bewailing the deplorable condition of the city, and now two-thirds are joined in bewailingthe deplorable condition which they have inflicted on themselves for another year. These are the results of one day's preliminary contest. It is a pity that these patriots who met in solemn conclave to dedicate a whole day to their country, should not be allowed to dedicate a whole year to the city.

(Laughter.) You all know of three longi ohereanet, adopted by them in Monument Square, some of which have pnt by for historical reference when I come to be an old man. Governor Ligon lost confidence in the people of Baltimore, and he supposed that, because he lost confidence in them, the people had lost confidence in BALTIMORE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1859. themselves. He came to this citv, supposing that the people of Baltimore were afraid to resist, and offered all the guarantees of the Executive authorities of the State, and went away disgusted with the people because they prefered to submit to the outrages to which they were subjected. Fellowcitizens, are they not a little mistaken in reference both to the condition of Baltimore and the opinions of its people? Are they not a little interested in the representations they have made in reference to Baltimore? They have yet something to gain that must he a reason for something that is palpably false, but perhaps we will be able to understand what is the real motive in this.

1 think that it is not any interest in the city of Baltimore, but in their interest in the ruling of They think that if they can sufficiently terrify the merchants and business men of Baltimore, that possible they may affect their politics through their presses. Now, fellow-citizens, we have encountered them in one form, and we have now to encounter them in a new form. It is the same body of men, actuated by the same principles, having no other view than to grasp power. They cry out that violence and club-rule prevail here, and that they have existed at elections. I ask, who are responsible for them? At the first election at which 1 was a candidate, was it not a battle? Were there not arms from the United States Armory, bearing date 1850, and at dates subsequent to that time.

There were deplorable scenes accompanied that election, and therefore I it was that the American party resolved to meet their opponents with tie weapons they themselves chose, (A At the next election, you remember, of 1856, the Mayor's election, events of the same kind were attempted, and that, in almost every instance, direct and violent assaults were made upon the American party in arms, and you know very well that the results of these fights were deplorable in the extreme in the death of very many of our fellow-citizens, and when the casualties of the day were counted, many more of the American pnrty were hurt than the others. Alluding to the Irish riots at the Bth ward, Mr. D. said it was then that the talk commenced about midnight assassins and bloody men, it was then that thev began to talk of the necessity of quiet at the polls. It was the terror of men chastised, who had drunk of the chastisement.

This is the origin, and whether it be true or false, they keep it up. Whether it is the charge of corruption against Henry Clay, and Daniel Webster, or of Abolitionism against Henry Winter Davis, truth or lie, it is the same unblushing, continuous yelp. Whether they know the foundation or not, they keep repeating it until, perhaps, they themselves believe it. Another election came on. Where were the American clubs at the election of 1857? Was there one man wounded during that day Was there any fight during that day I defy any man to point to one, excepting that the Irish ot the eighth ward cowardly killed Sergeant Jordan.

They were met bv the regular and legal police army, and driven back howling to their lair, and yet not one man was wounded except the police themselves. The catalogue of that day was killed one and wounded nine, and immediately after that Gov. Ligon came to this city and ordered out 10,000 troops for the purpose of controlling it. The only fight that took place was between the Democratic Irish and the police of the city. There was no fight, and no man wounded during that day.

What did Gov. Ligon come here for? To constitute himself the Mayor of the city of Baltimore, because the police were not competent to keep the peace of the city. Did any of them flinch in the discharge of their duty. Why did he come here We want a quiet city authorities were not competent to keep the peace, that is to say, the city authorities had repressed the Democrats from renewing these scenes in 1855 and 185 C. He came not to keep the peacehe came to create a war.

He knew that the elements of the American party would not tolerate a military organization on the day of election, and that there would have been a collision from one end of the town to the other that would have made that day a day of battle instead of a dav of election. Suppose you walk up to a man in the street and shake your "fist in his face, is that the way that men take to make things quiet and peaceful? If anything should have made them call out the military, they were responsible for it. They bad no right to go into the midst of an excitable people on the day of an excited election, and threaten them with military violence. In morals as in law, the provocation to the assault is equally guilty with the assault that returns it. After mating some remarks upon the election of 1857, Mr.

D. said we all know that about a year ago we had a Vigilance Committee disguised under the City Reform Association, but they melted away during the winter for it was a very warm one. One man published an article in the American, another one in the Exchange, saying, "Why don't we get up a meeting Thinks Ito myself, what has become of the Vigilance Committee, but under the cold winter their patriotism bad become frozen up. It would not do for the Democrats to go and call themselves the parties that were coming into the field. There was a tirade in the newspapers for about two months pouring hot shot down upon the American on the head of Air.

Swann; and if he had been living in a very strong house he could not have stood it out, and men who were making more money than they had ever made before, were told that they were becoming beggars. At the head of that great meeting held in the Square, was my old, quiet, respectable, theological friend Hugh Davy guarantee to the people of the perfectly peaceful intention of the association, but I take, as the origin of this Reform movement, that it is a cover wherewith the Democrats might obtain forces to arrav induce certain portions of the American party to join them. They have secured to themselves no "small number of our party friends, men on whom 1 desire to cast no imputation, but who I think have been sadly misled and I think they begin to find this out. They have thrown themselves into nothing but the Democratic party in disguise. Violence and hypocritical manifestations, everything has been combined to accomplish the result, any ally being useful in the contest.

We are at the origin, and I think we are now about at the end of the reform movement. They professed, among the whereases and resolutions, that they were entirely free from party bias and their only intention was to do good to the the city can't be better so long as political rule rests w'here it now is." Do they mean to take it away Do they mean to give it to themselves? And in taking that rule is not that taking political power. They want a quiet election, and therefore they go to the Mayor and ask him to array 4,000 men on the day of election. The Mayor refuses their application. hey go to the Sheriff.

What is their object They have been beaten in reference to the City- Council on their own profession. They have alreadV nominated candidates for District Attorney, Sheriff Orphans' Court, and I have illustrated the manner in which they have attempted to control the city, and what their pretences. They say that justice is not administered, and that violence prevails, and they want to get possession of the machinery of the Courts in order that they may administer it to suit themselves. I call your attention again to one of their resolutions "We are resolved that all who seek to molest or interfere with voters shall be visited with the heaviest penalty of the law." That is the purpose of the Reform It is a secret organization to prosecute men who violate the law, and if any make a disturbance on the day of election, the sheriff shall have power to keep them confined during that day. If they succeed in electing the sheriff, that is the use they will make of him.

If they succeed at this time, then, on next day of election, when the full play of freemen's spirits ought not to be controlled by any harsh application of law, nor individual conduct be closely inspected, on that day they mean to clothe the Sheriff'with extraordinary and illegal power. What will be the result of this They are not to be released during the day of election. There can no inquiry whether they be guilty or not. If is were so, active men on the one side inav be ken, and active men on the other side left, thev ant the Sheriff for another purpose. They 'ave used him elsewhere for that The Sheriff summons juries.

They want a Sheriff' that will summon a jury that will convict these parties. If they can succeed in getting the Sheriff'and prosecuting Attorney, with the secret Vigilance Committee to institute proceedings, it is plain that a reign of terror immediately exists in our midst. We have all seen it stated in the that certain persons were to be prosecuted for their proceedings on the day of election. Some men may have got stuck with pins, there may have been a little fighting, and a few black eyes agoing, but that is nothing but what occurs everywhere. It is probable that we shall have a fair grand jury and a fair petit jury, but if thev succeed in electing the Sheriff we will have neither the one nor the other.

1 am ridiculing the preposterous howl that is made over so small a matter. They have selected in Washington the whole of their grand jury without a single American in it, and out of 26 or 28 in the petit jury, they have selected about 14 Americans. Alluding to a decision of misdemeanor at election, in which Judge Giles was censured by the press for the leniency of his the speaker continued: What they (the Reformers) wish is, to get a metropolitan police for the city of take from you that power which is exercised in every other city in the United States, New York excepted. This covers the whole series of their policy, exhibiting their desire to break down the American party. How is that to be accomplished They have fixed their standard at the ilth ward, (it was the great centre of strength when I was a candidate four years ago.) These broadcloth gentry of the 11th ward are casting heavy majorities to break down the American party.

They have got the police to play gentlemen ushers as they escort them all up to the" polls. The whole of it can be summed up in two wordsthev can be numbered on a sheet of paper, but their venom can't be held in any vessel. There is no imputation that they cast on you or me that is too bad. We hear those Reformers after the events that have at Harper's Ferry, crying out in the street, Good heavens! shall we trust Winter Davis in Congress now? It will never do to let him go down there. Did he not say so in his speech delivered in the Maryland Institute.

Did he not say that we have no interest at all in common with these Northern people? Did not Davis say so? We must nominate Harrison. I have heard that to-dav in whispers but nobody attempts to say that above his breath. They do it sometimes in dirty papers, because they know that I consider them as such, and do not presume to contradict it; but when any gentleman utters that in presence of you, tell him that I say he lies, and let them come to me and I will say so too. After some other remarks from Mr. Davis on the same subject, and addresses from several other speakers, the meeting broke up.

The cotton brokers of Liverpool and the manufacturers of Manchester were again raising a loud cry against the practice of mixing sand, dust, with American cotton. The Brokers' Association of Liverpool had presented a memorial to the American Chamber of Commerte, requesting its influence to be exerted to stop the practice. The memorial says for the past year the sand and dust has probably been equiqalent to 100,000 bales and caused a still greater depreeiation in the value of cotton.

THE HARPER'S FERRY INSURRECTION. ADDITIONAL DETAILS. THE LETTERS DISCOVERED, ETC. We give again to-day copious details of the late extraordinary rebellion at Harper's Ferry, which we were unable to find room for in our paper of yesterday. We also annex the opinions of the press so far as they have reached us: SEIZURE OF ARMS.

Shortly after the storming of the citadel of the insurrectionists, several respectable looking citizens of Harper's Ferry approached Major Warner excitedly, and declared that a large number of the insurrectionists, under the command or J. F. Cook, one of the leaders of the rebellion, had entrenched themselves within an unoccupied log cabin, sometimes used as a school house, and had fired upon certain citizens a few moments before; and the assistance of Major Warner was asked to dislodge them. The latter replied that his corps being under the command nf General Egcrton he could not act without orders from him, but they were eagerly willing to volunteer for the service. Meantime Gen.

Egerton, having received intelligence the same effect as that communicated to Major Warner, had detailed the Independent Greys, Lieut. Simpson, to dislodge and capture the party. The gallant Greys proceeded at "double-quick" time, along a constantly ascending and rockv road to execute the order. About a mile from the' Ferry, they arrived within sight of the school cabin situated in a gloomy hollow, and, apparently, closely barricaded. Halting for a few moments, the Greys formed into two platoons, under the respective commands of Lieuts.

Simpson and Kerchner, and, at a given signal, dashing down the declivity of the road, with the butt end of their muskets, battered in the doors and windows, through which they entered. The cabin was entirely duply of occupants, though on all sides were discovered evidences of recent occupation, and a hasty retreat of its inmates. Against the front door were piled sixteen long and heavy boxes, ore of being burst found to contain ten newlv-tinished Sharp's breeeh-loading rifles, evidently fresh from the hands of their maker. There was also discovered one large square box, exceedingly heavy, which was suffered to remain unopened; a large and heavy black trunk, a box filled with bayonets and sabres, and several boxes of rifle cartridges and ammunition. There were in all 21 boxes, several of which were filled with Mavnard's largesized patent revolvers, with powd: tl i ks accompanying.

The room was littered with Sharp's rifles, revolvers and pikes. Evidently distributed with a view to their immediate nse, either for the purpose of defense or an aggressive action. After satisfying themselves that the traitors had fled, the gallant Greys proceeded to possess man a rifle, and a pair of revolvers, the remainder being placed, together with a largo number of pikes, upon a large new wagon, (purchased but a few davs before by Smith, or Capt. Brown, as he is now known,) to which the captors harnessed a pair of fine horses they caught grazing in the enclosure, and conveyed their valuable prize into town, where they were received with loud cheers by the citizens and military. The captured boxes wore placed for safe keeping in the Arsenal of the United States, though the Greys asserted an exclusive right to their possession as the lawful prize captors.

The revolvers and rifles were entirely new, and evidently expressly manufactured for the insurrectionists, the initials of whose leader's name, F. were stamped upon every weapon. The boxes in which the weapons were contained were marked railroad via Pittsburg and Harrisburg. J. Smith A Sous, Chambersburg, By American Express Company.

Keep drv." One box was directed to F. McClarney, Marine Bank Building." The name of the town had been obliterated, but several legible letters indicated that Cincinnati was the place. One small box, containing cartridges, was inscribed with the initials 8.," written on the back of a nearly obliterated card, with the following printed advertisement, "From Burr Swift, wholesale and retail dealers and importers of groceries, fish, fruit, tobacco, cigats, glass, salt, rope, woodenware, commission and forwarding merchants, lowa." Another unopened box, supposed to con tain rifles, was addressed to 11. Eldridge, Mt. Pleasant, The succeeding portion of the address, the name of the State perhaps, had been carefully obliterated.

DISCOVERY OF THE PAPERS OP THE INSURRECTIONISTS. The excitement attending this clever exploit had scarcely subsided, when another alarm was given, that the notorious insurgent leader Cook, had a few minutes before been seen upon the mountains on the Maryland shore. A scouting party consisting of several members of the Greys, (the only foreign corps in the town, quite or nearly all of those present in the forenoon having left for their homes,) some score or more of volunteers, and about twenty U. S. Marines undecommand of Capt.

J. E. B. Stewart, was instantly formed, and proceeded rapidly in pursuit. Following the same path which the Greys had pursued in making their discoveries; and which is known as the "County road," leading into the heart of Washington county, the party continued their course for a distance of 4 miles from the Ferry, until they reached the farm and house bought and occupied by Brown, under the name of John Smith.

The dwelling, a log house, containing two unpaved basement rooms, used apparently for storage, and in which were several empty gun boxes; two rooms and a pantry upon the second floor; and one large attic room in which were about six husk discovered to be unoccupied, save a huge, savage looking mastiff tied with a rope to the railing of a small piazza outside the house, but there were abundant evidences of its recent hurried vacation. The floors of all the rooms were littered with books, papers, documents and wearing apparel of several persons, hastily snatehed from eight or ten trunks and an equal number of valices and coarse carpet bags, strewn around, the fastenings of all of which had been forcibly broken, as if tbeir violaters were too much hurried for time to adopt the tardier method of entrance, by looking up keys. In the pantry, which appeared to have been used for kitchen purposes, beside an almost new cooking stove and an abundance of tin utensils, were two barrels of flour, a large quantity of sausage meat and cured hams, together with several pounds of butter, lard, Ac. The fire was yet smouldering in the stove, and the water in the boiler was quite hot at the time of the entrance. But the most valuable discovery was a trunk belonging to Capt.

Brown, containing a great number of highly important papers, documents, plans, and letters from private individuals throughout the revealing the existence of an extensive and thoroughly organized conspiracy, whose leaders were Captain Brown and J. F. Cook, and the well defined, determinedly expressed object of which, was the hastening of "irrepressible conflict" predicted by Senator Seward, and recently by Gerrit Smith, which was to result in the "disenthralment of the slaves of the South," and the extinction of the "Slave Power." The most undoubted evidences have thus been obtained, not only of the plans and hopes of this formidable insurrectionary organization, but of the indisputable fact of its extension throughout the Northern and Western States, from the influential citizens of whom the treasonable movement has received its sustaining support and encouragement. STARTLING POINTS OF ATTACK. In a trunk, supposed to have belonged to Capt.

Brown, was found seven small though elaborate maps of as many different States, bearing peculiar marks, which would seem to indicate that the points of attack, and the course of the insurrectionary movement through the South, had already been carefully determined upon by this well organized and confident league of traitors. Certain counties in the seven States, of which only these maps were obtained, bear cross-marks, formed by a pen, and in several instances as if to command greater particularity of attention, or to suggest perhaps more available points of attack, circular lines are drawn around the crosses. IN SOUTH CAROLINA. The following districts in South Carolina (the farthest Atlantic State North of which any map has been found) are thus specially designated Marlborough, marked with a cross; Darlington, the same; Sumter, a cross within a circle; Georgetown, with a cross and a single dash pointing southward; Charleston, near Monk's Corner, a cross and a semi-circle; Colleton, between Scull creek and the Edisto, a cross within circle; Saint Luke, near Grahamville, a cross within a double circle; Orangeburg, on the Middlepen Branch, near Orangeburg, a cross within a circle; Barnwell, between Buck and Turkey Creeks, on the line of the South Carolina Railroad, a cross; Edgefield, near Horn's creek, in the neighborhood of Williston, a cros3; Abbeville, near Long Cane creek, a cross. IN GEORGIA.

In Georgia, the following counties are marked, Camden, near Burnt Fork, with a cross; and near Wavnesville, in the same county, with a cross also; Glvnn, near Bethel, across; Mcintosh, near Jones' Creek, a cross; Liberty, near Taylor's Creek, a cross within a circle: Bryan, near Fort Argvle, a cross; Chatham, near Whitesville, a cross; Scriven, near Black Creek, a cross; Burke, near Beaver Dam, a cross within a circle; Columbia, near While Oak. a cross, Lincoln, on the Savannah river, a cross; Warner, near May field, a cross; Taliafero, near Crawfordsville, a cross: Greene, near Parks' Branch, a cross: Hancock, near Sparta, a cross; Putnam, near Kingston, across; Milledgeville, near Green Hill, across; Jones, near Hillsboro', a cross; Monroe, near Forsyth, a cross; Upson, a cross; Crawford, near Hammacks, a cross; Talbott, near Davison, a cross; Harris, near Mulberry Grove, a cross, Troup, near Shiloh, a cross. IN ALABAMA. The following counties in Alabama are marked: Russell, near Lexington, a cross; Macon, near Fort Bainbridge, a cross; Montgomery, near Mt. Meigs, a cross; Lowndes, near Mt.

Willing, across; Augusta, near Kingston, a cross; Dallas, near Selma, a cross; Wilcox, near Allenton, a cross; Monroe, near Bell's Landing, a cross; Marshall, near Laurel Hill, a cross; Suinter, near a cross; Washington, near Barrytown, a cross. IN MISSISSIPPI. In this State the following counties are designated: Noxub near Mashulaville, with a cross; Warren, near Warrenton, a cross; Clair'borne, near Bartonton, a cross; Jefferson, near Church Hili, a cross; Franklin, near Malcolm, a cross; Adams, near Kingston, a cross; Wilkinson, near Cold Spring, a cross; Washington, near Clear Creek, a cross; Bolivar, neaT Tillaioba, a cross In Louisiana, Florida, Tennessee and Kentucky, there were no counties marked. The designated counties in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, form a continuous chain of districts, or route of travel from Georgetown: and from South Carolina, along the Savannah river, to the' Chittahoocbe river, on the western border of Georgia; from thence passing through convenient points on the Alabama and Tombigbv rivers to the borders of Mississippi; from whence it continues with little interruptian to the Red river. The maps, which are about 18 by 12 inches, are carefully and neatly pasted on stout cambric Upon the marg'in of each map is pasted the census returns of 1850, of its State; giving in detail the relative strength of the white and slave population of each county, and the proportion of females to the whole number of inhabitants.

By referring to the counties marked, it will be perceived that in them the slave population vastly preponderates, and might therefore have been "deemed a safer field of operation for the abolition invaders. IMPORTAST LETTERS AND NOTES. In the same trunk in which the maps were discovered, were fonnd a number of highly important letters from certain well-known Northern abolitionists, conveying both "aid and comfort" to the insurrectionists. Among the papers found were the following: I LETTER FROM GERRIT SMITH TO CAPT. JOHN BROWN.

1 "PETERBORO', June 4, John My dear wrote you a week ago, direct- I ing my letter to care of Mr. Kearnev. He replied, I informing me that he had forwarded the letter to But as Mr. Morton receiving last I evening a letter from Mr. Sanborn, saving your address would be your son's home, viz: West Andover, I therefore write you without delay, and direct my letter to your son.

I have done what I could thus far for Kansas, and what I could to keep you at your Kansas work. Losses by endorsement and otherwise have brought me under heavy emembarrassments the last two years, but I must nevertheless continue to do in order to keep you at your Kansas work. I send you herewith my draft for 8200. Let me hear from you on the receipt of this letter, l'ou live in our hearts, and our prayer to God is that you may have strength to continue in your Kansas work. My wife joins me in affectionate regard to you, dear John, whom we both hold in very high esteem.

I suppose you put the Whitman note into Mr. Kearney's hands. It will be a great shame if Whitman does not pav it. What a noble man is Mr. Kearney! How liberally he has contributed to keep you in your Kansas work Your friend, GERHIT SMITH." On the back of this letter is Smith answered June 17th, and enclosed E.

Perhaps he can finish up one-half the number soon, if you desire it.

But he has positively agreed to have them all out in eight weeks. I find that some of the handles have come up missing, and I shall not be able to make out more than about 950. Considering the delay and the extra trouble I am to be at, I think you will be satisfied with that number. I could have furnished them when I had them under way for much less than I can now. "Wishing you peace and prosperity, 1 remain yours, truly, CHARLES BLAIR."

K. DELANEY TO J. H. KAGI. Among the papers was found a lettei dated at Chatham, Canada, August 16th, one or two paragraphs of which are of interest.

Delaney says: "I have been anxiously looking and expecting'to see something of uncle's movements, but as yet have seen nothing; the letter from you being the first intimation of his whereabouts since he wrote me. Please send me any paper that may mention your doings. AH are in good spirits here, hoping and waiting for the good time coming." The letter fell into the hands of Tidd, who opened it and appended to Kagi, seeing a letter fnr you from Canada, and knowing that" a letter from there would relate to business, I took the liberty to peruse it. I know you will not think hard. TIDD." Besides the above were several letter sheets of manuscript so closely written as to be almost illegible, but it was a'sort of scriptural writing; a poetical effusion by YY H.

Leeman, one of the insurgents, and several papers which were taken by Gov. Wise, and which are mentioned under the telegraphic head. A manual of guerilla warfare, with instructions to use Hie lance, so many of which were found, was carefully preserved. The Independent Greys were ftiost hospitably entertained at tlio houses of Messrs. Shubridge and Albert Ileal, who reside on the mountain near the town.

There are yet other letters not yet madia public, which implicate several well known politicians of lowa, New York and Pennsylvania, in the conspiracy to cieate a slave insurrection throughout the Southern States. Among a quantity of paprs in our possession, found in the house of Capt. Brown, is the following brief, written upon a scrap of paper, in a good professional hand writing: "At the right hour, bv all you deem sacred, remember me. GEO. B.

John Brown, care of Dr. S. G. Howe, Bromfield street," were a number of clippings from the New York Tribune, Cleveland Plaindealcr and Rochester Union, referring to the Kansas exploits nf "Ossawatamie" Brown. Scattered over the floor of the rooms were hundreds of copies of a pamphlet work entitled "Extracts from the manual of a Patriotic Y'olunteer on active service in regular and irregular war, being the art and science of obtaining and maintaining Liberty aod Independence." By Hugh Forbis.

Certain passages in one of the copies in our possession. referring to the duties of riflemen, is penciled down the margin, and dog-eared as if for future reference. COOLNESS OF BP.OWN. Col. YVashington, who was a keen observer of Capt.

Brown during the events of Monday and Tuesday, expresses the highest admiration of the cool, calm courage of the insurgent leader, and of his humanity. He told us that he heard Captain Brown give explicit orders to his men, not to injure, if possible, any woman, and only to aim at those who carried guns. Captain Brown's coolness and courage inspired his men with a like contempt of danger, and their conduct and conversations were marked bv a remarkable calmness. Brown, the younger son of "Ossawatamie," and who was desperately wounded by the Martinsburg men (he has since died) on Monday forenoon, suffered intensely during Monday night, several times requesting his comrades to his brains with their guns, and thus to relieve his sufferings. On Tuesday morning his agony had apparently become unendurable, and seizing a pistol, he was about to shoot himself in the his father, staying his hand, calmly told him that the time had not yet arrived for such a deed as endure a little longer, and he might die as befitted a man; we saw and spoke with this young man a few minutes after the assault, and could not divest onr heart of something akin to pity for him.

He feelingly inquired whether His father was alive, and on being answered in Ihe affirmative, looked his thankfulness. He was informed of the death of his brother in the assault, but exhibited no emotion at that announcement. In reply to certain questions, he stated that his father had been assured of the co-operation of several hundreds of men, who were to have rendezvoused at the Ferry on Sundavnight, and frequently affirmed his conviction of the justness of the cause in which he had been so disastrously engaged. Edwin Coppie, the only one of the party except a negro, named Green, who escaped unhurt, is too ignorant to appreciate his position. He spoke glibly and good-naturedly of the occurrences through which he had passed as if it was a matter upon which he should pleasantly congratulate himself.

He informed us that, on Monday night three of the party had advised a surrender, but that Gaptain Brown quietly but firmly opposed the propo sition. Upon the entrance of the marines into the building, Coppie shouted out "I surrender!" when Captain Brown exclaimed in as loud a tone "But one surrenders!" The following is District Attorney Quid's despatch to the President: HARPER'S FERRY, Oct. 18, 1859. To his Excellency the President nf the United States Everything is quiet. There are only five prisoners, tfiree wounded and two unhurt.

Six citizens have been killed, and one marine. All the citizens were killed outside the limits of the United States Territory in Y'irginia. The marine was mortally wounded within it. 1 have seen Col. Lee, but not Gov.

Wise. Only nineteen persons were engaged in the matter, of whom five were free negroes from the North. Brown has been living a few miles from here, in Maryland, since June last. His premises were searched to-day, and filteen hundred pikes and two hundred guns found, besides flints, axes, blankets, clothing, in abundance. Brown says he has contemplated this movement since 1856.

All of his party are either killed or captured except one, who left on Monday. They were driven by the Y'irginians into the armory, and there Col. Lee and twelve marines did the balance. AH the slaves engaged, if any, were forced. None of the persons held by Brown were hurt, although all were in the building stormed by the marines.

The books and papers of Brown are secured, which throw considerable light on the movement. Strange it is, but true, that Brown and his eighteen men took possession of the Government property and town, and held them during Sunday night and Monday. The Government money is ail safe. It is not" known which party killed the marine. The man who carried off' Lewis Washington is one of the wounded prisoners.

Ido not apprehend any violence to the prisoners. ROBERT OULD. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS. the Philadelphia Ledger Independent) of Oct. The more facts come to light respecting the unsuccessful insurrection at Harper's Ferry, the more evident it becomes that the plot was more extended than is generally believed, and that it had been a matter of consideration with, if not of countenance by, parties in the North.

One of our citv papers quotes the observations of a "leading anti-slavery man in this city," who had been consulted a year ago about a-guerrilla war against slavery in Y'irginia. The person who had the interview with him is declared to be "a soldier by profession; had fought for freedom in Hungary and on the plains Kansas, and was now ready, if an opportunity would offer, to draw his sword in the same behal in the mountains of Virginia, or ia the swamps South Carolina." At tnis interview the name John Brown, of Os3awatamie, was mentioned a the per on who wanted to organize a band to gi South and establish himself in the mountains where he could successfully carry on his guerrill; war. This "leading anti-slavery" witness furthei says: "Soon after this, heard, from another source that John Brown was still meditating a descent or the slaveholders, and was only waiting to find co adjutors. And about six weeks ago, a highly res pectable gentleman, just returned from foreigr travel, stopped in this city, and, in the course of i conversation I had with him, dropped expression: implying his knowledge of Brown's intentions, and what surprised me most, of his approval of them. Ascertaining my sentiments on the subject, he did not make me a confidant, and, not anticipating any serious result, nor any immediate result of any kind, I made no particular inquiries." This witness certainly ought to be sought out by the Federal Government.

His voluntary testimony affords evidence of his complicity with these treasonable designs sufficient to involve him as an accessory before the fact. The Government should probe this matter to the bottom, and let the people see who are the parties engaged secretly in batching treason and providing for disunion and revolution. the Neio Tork Times (Republican) of Oct. There seems to be no reason for believing that the plot had any extensive ramifications, or that any further danger is to be apprehended. Yet the aflair can scarcely fail to startle the public mind in Virginia, and it may have the same effect as Brown's movements'had in Missouri, and increase, largely and rapidly, the transfer of slaves from Virginia to the more Southern States.

Everysuch outbreak, from whatever causes it may spring, quickens the public sense of the insecurity of slave property on the borders of the slaveholding States, and so tends to the removal southward of that frontier. As a matter of course, the violent partisan prints will seek to make the most of the affair. But we see no reason for supposing that it had any connection whatever with any political movement, or that any party can with justice bo held responsible for it. It seems to have been the work of a single under a sense of personal wrong, and insanely seeking to avenge them upon a whole community. He will probably pay the penalty of his rash insanity with his lifej and leave, we trust no inheritors of his passion or his fate.

the New Tork Herald fnkependent) of Oct. 20.1 The affair at Harper's Ferrv is one of the straws that show which way the political wind blows. Its lesson should not be misunderstood. Let the Southern opposition members of Congress, when they come to the organization of the House, not forget the Harper's Ferry outbreak and the lesson it teaches them. That Mr.

Seward is the archagitator who is responsible for this insurrection no one who has read his Rochester manifesto can deny. That his elevation to the Presidency would stimulate servile insurrections all over the Southern country, is likewise beyond peradventure. Mr. Seward once in the White House, his doctrines, howsoever fanatical, or brutal, or bloody, or cruel they may be, have a degree of importance and weight which they can obtain in no other way; and while we should be among the last persons in the world to predict anything like real danger to the Union of the States or the security Of all our people in the enjoyment of their homes and the peaceful possession of their properties, of whatever kind they may be, yet it must be admitted that the election" of Seward would act as a powerful incentive to men of the Brown stamp. The leading Seward organ in this city is quite lachrymose over Brown, and the abolitionists all mourn i'or him as for a chief in Israel fallen in the front of the battle.

From the New Tork Tribune (Republican) of Oct. 19.) will be enough to heap execration on the memory of these mistaken men. We leave this work to the fit hands and tongues of those who regard the fundamental axioms of the Declaration of Independence as "glittering generalities." Believing that the way to Universal Emancipation lies not through insurrections, civil war and bloodshed, but through peace, discussion, and the quiet diffusion of sentiments of humanity and justice, we deeply regret this outbreak; but, remembering that, if their fault was grievous, grievously have they answered it, we will not, by one reproachful word, disturb the bloody shrouds wherein John Brown and his compatriots are sleeping. They dared and died for what they felt to be the right, though in a manner which seems to us fatally wrong. Let their epitaphs remain unwritten until the not distant day when no slave shall clank his chains in the shades of Monticello or by the graves of Mount Vernon.

the Philadelphia North American (Republican) of October 2Bth.) The whole of this bloody drama is a sequel of the border outrages of which we all read and all condemned, several years ago. From the far western plains the scene has been shifted to the centre of the older States. The actors are the very men who figured in Kansas. There they learned the lesson and imbibed the spirit of which they now make a display. Long ago we pointed out what would be the consequences of the feud that existed in the disputed territory.

We saw from the first, as everybody else, not blinded by partisan zeal, must have seen, that the difficulties iu Kansas must issue in deadly collision. The scenes, therefore, that took place there before the political complexion of the territory was finally determined, were not unlooked for. But we little imagined that the stage was to be transferred to Virginia, and that a systematic fedort would be made there to carry off large masses of slaves, by the very men trained to border warfare by their experience in Kansas. the New Tork Post of Oct. 19M.1 That Mr.

Buchanan will be prompt in the suppression of the Virginia disturbance we have no doubt; although he has dealt so laxly with the filibusters and slave traders; neither have we any doubt that Mr. Chase, or Mr. Seward, if either of them were President, would be equally efficient. Nothing in Ihe public life of those eminent men has ever given warrant for the suspicion that they would sympathise with disorder and bloodshed. They are opposed to the extension of slavery, but thev have always made that hostility known in a legitimate way.

The weapons of their warfare have been truth and justice, and not the rifle or the bowieknife. Their hopes of success in rescuing the territories from the curse of bondage, and putting a stop to the spread of a pernicious social system, repose upon their confidence in the good sense and nobler instincts of the American people. Revolts, insurrections and civil wars, they are fully aware, as every sensible man must be, will not further their objects, while they can only produce incalculable mischiefs. The States, the Journal of Commerce, the Herald, and other democratic newspapers, know this perfectly well; but they cannot resist the temptation of trying to turn the odium which properly attaches to tampering with slaves to the disadvantage of their politicrl opponents. But the public is not so arrant a fool as these journalists imagine.

the Washington States (Democratic) of Oct This is altogether the most alarming and daring insurrectionary demonstration that ever has been made in the United States. It is a natural corollary to the "irrepressible conflict" emanation and an essence of Black Republicanism. The plan seems to have been deliberately preconcerted. To what extent the leading Sewardites are complicated in it, by their aid and advice, may never be ascertained. It cannot be reasonablydoubted that it was formally inspired by them; and yve hope means will be found to bring every guilty wretch connected with it to condign punishment.

The slaveholding States are noyv more distinctly forewarned than ever as to that which Black Republicanism is prepared to consummate when it gets posse-sion of the reins of the national government. It is the part ofwisdumfor them to forearm. Wo suspect that the bloody scheme of Harper's Ferry had its aiders and abettors in Washington. We shall not be surprised if it is a concentrating point lor the concocting of desperate Black Republican schemes. The time for striking was in all likelihood arranged here.

No moment was so favorable as that which brought the intelligence of triumphant Sewardism in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Jtc. There must be no temporizing policy pursued towards the insurgents. Their enormities have been such as to turn mercy itself into an executioner. the Boston Courier Old Line Whig) of Oct. The "irrepressible conflict" seems to have begun and been as quickly repressed.

The spirit and energy of the officers and troops at Harper's Ferry cannot be too much commended. As for the leading spirits iu this absurd yet traitorous insurrection, the general execration of the people will pursue them to deserved doom. The nearest tree yvould be their fitting mode of exit from their scene of mischief; but wo presume the forms of law will be gone through with against these ruffians shooting down peaceful citizens and in open revolt against the law 3. The revolt at Harper's Ferry brings the question directly home to every considerate mind, you sacrifice the inestimable blessings of this Union for party ends'? Will you listen to the counsels of Greeley and Giddings, and of Banks, who is yvilling, under certain is, when he thinks he can administer a Northern confederacyto let this great sovereign Union of popular nationality Or, will you recur to the advice of the noble fathers of the Republic and of their truly patriotic sons? We trust that every city and town in the nation will seize upon the occasion, and speak out upon this deplorable theme. Let the people, yvho are the source and strength of the government, give utterance to a common expression of true national sentiment.

the Washington Constitution (Administration Organ) of Oct. When Mr. Seward first announced to his followers the dogma of "an irrepressible conflict" between the slaveholding and non-slaveholding States, no one anticipated that we should be called upon so soon to record its first fruits. It was evident, however, that it was simply a question of time when the conflict should begin, and how it should terminate. The time has come yvhen the choice must be made by our Northern brethren between the peace and safety of the country, upon the Constitution and laws of the land, on the one hand, and Mr.

Seward's dogmas of "higher Inwism and irrepressible conflicts." on the other. There can be no doubt of the decision which the patriotic people of the North will pronounce if they can be induced to look calmlv and deliberately upon the subject, and properly weigh the results, which depend upon the justice and correctness of that decision. If the scenes at Harper's Ferry, which have given occasion for these reflections, had occurred at a time when Mr. Seward occupied the presidential chair, what would have been the result? With his avowed doctrines of "the higher law" and the "irrepressible conflict," and his equally emphatic announcement that "slavery can and must be abolished, and you (addressing himself to the Northern people) and I must do it," in connection with his denial of the constitutional guarantees of slaverywith these principles, views and doctrines, what, we ask, would have been the course of Mr. Seward if he had been President at this critical juncture! There can be but one answer to the inquiry.

Ht must either have been false to all his own profes sions or false to the Constitution and laws of the land. RUMORS ABROAD. The New York Day Book has the following: A MEMBER OF BEECHER'S CHURCH AIIen Evans, who is now lying dying, having been one ol Brown's party at Harper's" Ferry, is said to be oi have been a member of Beecher's church, in Brook lyn. He was one of the representatives of the Ply mouth church in the Sharpe's-rifle affair.

They create "irresistible con' etwee the North and South, and they in-1 spire the men who carry them out.

Ihe reporter of the Express has been making inquiry among the "better sort of colored people" of 1 eW a fathered from them that they 'TO dar cloud hangs over the Southern States on the Eastern Coast Seve of theul threw out hints'of a regular bureau being organized even in this citv for the I especial purpose of co-operating, if necessarv, with the insurgents in Virginia, whose express their belief to be, is to get up a servile war with the view of emancipating the slaves in that section ot the Union. In regard to certain rumors that are afloat of telegraphic messages being sent to and fro, between the alleged bureau of Abolitionists in Aew i ork and the insurgents, opinions are divided. Some profess to believe that the idea is an absurdi: ty, from the simple fact that no such messages would be sent by the operators while others suggest the probability of sending them in cyphers, so as to keep each other posted as to the posture of affairs and the measures to be adopted. Nearly all agree, however, that there is some mysterious method of carrying intelligence, similar to the Underground Railroad. "Among the 'irrepressib'e conflict' portion of them there appears to be a firm belief that though the insurrection at Harper's Ferry has been put down, through its premature explosion, and the activity of the Federal and State troops, yet 'the end is not but that the flames lighted up in Virginia, though prematurely quenched, will hereafter spread through Maryland, the and Georgia, to the banks of the Mississippi, carrying in its train a wide spread desolation, and resulting in the complete emancipation of the slaves." The New York Day Book savs: "We have reason to believe that there is a regular organized society in this city of negro stealers, and that it includes many clergymen and laymen, and that even not a few business men contribute to fill its treasury.

What is more, we have the names of some of the individuals reported to be engaged in this criminal business." The Richmond Examiner says: We arc informed by a highly respectable gentleman of this city that he saw, yesterday morning, a letter which Mr. Samuel Gordon took from his negro, which was addressed to a negro from Baltimore, saying that he (the recipient of the letter) was expected in Baltimore by the 15th of this month, that a post had been assigned him, and that he was expected to be there by that time. The letter concluded in these words: "And you know what will happen next day." Ihis shows, manifestly, that the conspiracy was wide-spread. The letter above mentioned acknowledges the receipt ot one bv the Baltimore negro from the slave here." LAW INTELLIGENCE CRIMINAL Hon. Henry Stump, Judge.

O'Sullivan by shooting him with a pistol in the back of the head, causing a mortal wound of Ihe length of halt an inch and of the depth of four inches? from which wound the said O'Sullivan instantly died.

The jury in this ease, who retired at 12 o'clock on Wednesday, returned from their quarters yesterday morning stating that they had not agreed upon their verdict. They were directed by the Judge to repair to the jury-room in the court-house and stay there until they had agreed, After the opening of the Court, Mr. Whitnpy remarked that the trial of Thomas Hoffman, indicted jointly with Miller, had been fixed for to-day, but the State could not go on, owing to the fact that thejurv up stairs had possession of the indictment. Mr. Yellott, counsel for Hoffman, said there were two reasons why the trial of Hoffman could not be proceeded with; first, the jury in Miller's case had the indictment in their possession: and, again, the defence claimed their light of challenge to the i whole panel of jurors, several of whom were on Miller's case.

The Judge remarked that Mr. Yellott could hardly expect to select any of the present panel, as hey had not agreed on their verdict, and having heard all the testimony, must have formed their opinions. Mr. Yellott remarked that, granting such to be the fact, still they claimed the right to the whole i panel. The Judge at twenty minutes past ten o'clock sent a bailifl to the jury, who soon, returned and said they had not agreed.

The Court said the jury must stay in the conrt I house. Mr. Whitney remarked that, the State could go on with the case of the Coulsons. Mr. Yello't, their counsel, said the defence was not ready, they had no witnesses present, as it was the understanding that Hoffman should be tried iin mediately after Miller; again, the defence claimed in this case, also, the right of challenge to the whole panel of jurors.

No witnesses being present iu any ether case, a jury tie lunatico inyuirendo was empanneiled, and liios. Addison was found to be a lunatic and pauper, and ordered by the Court to be confined in some hospital at the expense of the State. At twenty minutes of one o'clock, the jury in Miller's case sent a communication to the Court stating that they had not agreed, and that there was no probability that they would prayed the Court, under the circumstances, to discharge them. Mr. Waters, counsel for Miller, was then sent for.

The following parties were then arraigned: Peter Miller, indicted for the larceny, on the 28th of July last, of one silver watch, valued at S3, the property of John Potthouse, pleaded not guilfv. John W. Smith, indicted for stealing, on the 25th September last, one cloth coat and one slouch hat, valued at 511.50, the property of George W. Smithson, pleaded not guilty. William Hubbard, charged with stealing a clock valued at S7, the property of Wm.

Cooper, pleaded not guilty. Mr. Waters here came into Court wheu the Judge stated that the jury had not agreed, and had formed the Court that there was no probability of their doing so, and praved to bo discharged. He asked what course Mr. Waters wished to take.

Mr. Waters said that in such cases, he always yielded to what the Court, in its discretion thought would be the best course under the circumstances, The Court remarked that it thought yest-rday, by allowing the jury refreshments, they would come to a conclusion sooner than locking them up. The Court then sent a written communication to the jury to the effect that it would not nowdis; charge them, not knowing the point, upon which i they differed. Shortly after one jury came i into Court, and announced that they had agreed. Miller was placed at the bar, and the jury being called rendered a verdict of "not guilty." I There was some demonstration of applause upon I the rendition of the verdict, which however was I quickly checked by the bailiffs, the Court ordering any party to be arrested who attempted to act imi properly.

Miller, on motion of Lis counsel, was then disj cha ged by the Court. I The following parties were then arraigned i William McFay, charged with stealing a slouch hat valued at 51.50, the property of Wm. W. Ar- I cher pleaded not guilty. Charles Weaver alias Deever, charged with i stealing a market basket valued at cents, the I property of Rose Ann Rudolph, pleaded not I guilty.

Ann Maria Cornish (negress), charged with stealing a muslin do laine dress and a muslin shirt, pleaded "not guilty." Margaret Duncan, charged with stealing a lawn dres3 belonging to Sophia Waterman, pleaded "not guilty."

The officers of justice are widely ignored by the citizens, who have taken the administration of justice into their own hands. Where is this to end? The Pelican of the Bth inst.

contains the proceedings of a meeting of citizens held at Marksville, (or the formation of a vigilance committee. The cause of this movement seems to be the number ot refu, gees from Attakapis. The Pelican says: The Committee of Vigilance will put into the hands of the law all persons guilty of crimes that can be reached by law; but in cases where there is i not sufficient proof to insure their condemnation before the Court, the committee will judge them, selves, and their sentence will be executed in the shortest possible time. The Baton Rouge Gazette comments on this as follows, which will be approved by all good citizens There is a species of heroism and patriotism in the act of law-abiding citizens furthering the ends of justice, by voluntarily assisting the officers of I the law to bring offender's to trial, that commands admiration. Let Col.

Cannon and his colleagues go thus far and no farther in their functions, and the whole State will applaud their action; but let them on the other hand, go to the extent hinted at i in the latter part of the above extract, and altof gethcr another verdict will be pronounced by public opinion. There is something so monstrous in the proposition to execute summary punishment on those who have been acquitted by the courts for the want of proof that we are disposed to doubt the fidelity of the published proceedings as true ot what actually took place in the meeting..
