I WASHINGTON, D. C. MR. C1IA3E AT WOOSTER. We make further extracts from the excellent speech of Mr.

Chesc at Wooster, Ohio, in exposition of Mr. Douglas's doctrine of popular sovereignty: i A. ArrorvrtD jidces. There is another which seem3to be of aoaie importance. If the people are to be free to regulate their own affairs, they want their own judiciary; above all things, they want their own judiciary, which is to construe their Constitution and all their laws, and to determine every question of private right between man I and man.

We have got that here in Ohio, but how it ia the Territory? This very bill which udge Doagits brought in, and which he refers to as his 91 million of his patent notion of popolar sovereignty, gives to the President the fower to appoint the Judges of the Territory. saw at oace that it was a thing the people needed, and proposed, if we were going to leave this people to regulate their own affairs, to give them an honest system, and I 'ftoved to amend the bill by giving the people the power to elect their own Judges. Who voted for that The Repablk-ans. Who against it? These same Democrats; these men who pride themselves to-dny upon their advocacy of popular sovereigntv. Then the people of the Territory, by this Kansas-Nebraska bill, which Mr.

Douglas always appeals to with such peculiar pleasure as kis hill, as my Kansas-Nebraska bill," had constituted for them a Governor ix defined the powers of that Governor: it refused to give to that people power to exclude Slavtrv, and the power of its Legislature was control led by veto; it refuted to them the power to elect their own Governor, but said, behold this grand embodiment of free institutions upon the plains of Kansas; there is a people who are controlled in every important respect by the Federal authority; behold a people left perfectly free to regulate their owu institutions in their own way. and Was there ever a more transparent humbug oo the face of the earth Is it not amusing that a man, uuder the light of the nineteenth century, can be found to go among the people, and be the especial friend and ad? of popular rights, when he sends men into a Territory bound haud and foot, exposed to the greatest, curse of humauity, and without power to liberate them "-elves ABOUT CGPY-RIGHTEO ARTICLES. But Judge Douglas tells us the people have some power. A few words as to that, and then I shall say nothing more. Mr.

Douglas tells us that he thinks the peo- pi? liarc got some sort of power. lie has got this magazine article, in which he lays down his ideas of popular sovereignty, and he tells us that this harmonious party" is divided into three divisions by ''radical "differences of i opinion." (ihat is a singular kind of harmony,) he savt, which seriously disturbs its harmony, and threatens its unity." I don't think its in- tegrity need he cared much about What are his divisions? 1. Those who h' lieve that the Constitution of the United States neither establishes nor prohibits Slavery in the States or Territories beyvnd the power of the people legally to control il, but 4 leaves the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic insti- tutious in tJieir own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United 2. Thoee who believe that the Constitution establishes Slavery in the Territories, and with- Ldids from Congress and tlie Territorial Legislature the power to control it; and who iusist that, in tie event the Territorial Legislature fails to enai't the requisite laws for its protec- tion, it the imperative duty of Congress to interpose 't3 authority, and furnith such protection. "3.

Those who, while frofcssing to believe that the Constitution establish Slavery iu the Territories beyond the power of or the Icrritorial Legislature to control it, at the samv time protest against the duty of Congress to interfere for its protection but insist that it id the duty of the Judiciary to protect and maintain Slavery in the Territories, without juny law upon the subject." "To control it." Not to exclude it, you observe. You are not to turn the hogs out of vour corn win tlscy come in, but you may control thorn while they are eating your corn. This consists of You will obst: vcj in the place, the (Constitution44 does not establish Slavery in tin? Territory beyond the power of the people legally to control it. What is lepallv They may control it so far as the law atiows them. What is the law? The Dred Scott decision.

It eaves the people perfectly irc-e, subject to the Constitution? that is, the Coiuututiou leaves the people perfectly free, subject to the Constitution, ihe Constitution leaves the inhabitants just as free as the Constitution leaves them! That is a miserable truism, and it i3 mere words, signifying nothing but one projiosilion, and that is, that Slavery is in the Territory, ana the people, some way or other, may control it there. Let us see what Mr. Douglas lays down when he comes into Ohio. When he was at Columbus and Cincinnati, he laid down divers propositions, in which he began almost to talk of excluding Slavery. Wheu lie got up here, some one Lad put into his hands Judge Black's Black, as he called him, or Black Jerry, as seme men call him, and his anxiety ia to pr, tect himself from being unfaithful to the jL-'red Scott decision and the slaveholders.

What he say? Judge Black had said that Dongiu'8 claimed for the people ofThe Territories sovereignty: not that they could keep Slavery out of tltf4 Territory, but that, after tbey had got it into Territory, then, in some way or other, they fJOntrol it so as to turn it oat. Judge Black said was inconsistent' with himself, because he bad that sovereignty. lie (lJouglas) says: This statement con- taius a double falsehood. First, that I advo- cate the conliacaxion of private nroix rtv: and 1 second, that I justify it ou the ground that a Territory is a sovereign power. I never said," eaj a he.

that a Territory is a sovereign I should like to know where popular sovereignty is, then. It is not in a Territory, ac- cording to this. He goes on: "I nev-T uttered 1 ouch a piece of nonsense in any speech or re- port that I ever made or wrote.

Baltimore, Oct.

18, 18o'J. The Baltimore infantry troops have just arrived, aud are now marching to the armories. Their services were no longer required at Har- per's Ferry, the Government and irginia troops being amply sufficient for all emergeucies. The renort of the American commences with a notice of the originators. The principal originator of this short bat bloody insurrection was undoubtedly Capt.

John Brown, whose connection with scenes of violence in the border warfare in Kansas then made his name familiarly notorious throughout the whole country. Brown made his first appearance in Harper's Ferry more than a year ago, accompanied by his two three of them assuming the name of Smith. He inquired about land in the vicinity, and made investigations as to the probability of finding ores there, and for some time boarded at Sandy Point, a mile east of the Ferry. After absence of some months, the elder Brown reappeared in' the vicinity, and rented or leased a farm on the Maryland side, about four miles from the Ferry. They bought a large number of picks and spades, and this confirmed ihe belief that they intended to mine for ores.

They were freqnently seen in and about Harper's Ferry, but no suspicion seems to have existed that Bill Smith was Capt. Brown, or that he intended embarking in any movement so desperate or extraordina- ry. Yet the development of the plot leaves no doobt that his visits to the Ferry and his lease of the farm were all parts of his preparation for an insurrection, which he supposed wonld be successful in exterminating Slavery in Mary- land and Western Viiginia. Brown's chief aid was John E. Cook, a com- uiifcuj miu una rcniucu iu mju near Harper's Ferry some years.

He was first employed in tending lock on the canal, and afterward taught school on the Maryland side of the river; and after a brief residence in Kansas, where, it is supposed, he became acquainted with Brown, returned to Harper's Ferry, and married there. He was regarded as a man of some intelligence, and known to be Anti-Slavery, but was not so violent in the expression of bis opinions as to excite any suspicions. These two men, with Brown's two sons, were the only white men connected with the insurrection that had been seen about Harper's Ferry. All were brought by Brown from a distance, and nearly all had been with him in Kansas. The first active movement in the insurrection was made at about o'clock on Sunday light.

William Williamson, the watchman at Harper's Ferry bridge, while walking across toward the Maryland side, was seized by a number of men, who said he was their prisoner, md must come with them. He recognised Brown and Cook among the men, and, kuowing them, treated the matter as a joke; but, enforcing silence, they conducted him to the Armory, which he found already in their pos- r. uangerneia, raymasiera uierK. I hese three gentlemen were imprisoned in the enginehouse, which afterward became the chief fortress of the insurgents, and were not released until after the final assualt. The workmen were imprisoned in a large buildiDg further down the yard, and were rescued bv a brilliant Zouave made by the railroad company's men who uwk lifiwn from Martinsbnrg.

This was the of things at daylight, about which time Capt. Cook, fwo white men, accompanied by thirty slaves, and tauing with them Col. Washington's large wagon, went over the bridge and struck up the mountain-road toward Pennsylvania. It was then believed that a large wagon was I used to convey away the paymaster's safe, containing $17,000 Government foods, and also that it was filled with Minie rifles, taken out to supply other bauds in the mountains, who were to come down upon Harper's Kerry in overwhelming force. These suppositions proved untrue, as neither money nor arms were disturbed.

As day advanced, and news spread around, and people came into the Ferry, the demonstrations of resistauce were made to the inaarnecuiguuts. A general wartaie chiefly led on by a man named Chambers, house commanded the Armory yard. The named Hayward, a railroad porter, was shot1 earjy in the morning, for refusing to join the movement. The next man Joseph Burley. a citizen of the Ferry, lie shot standing in his own door.

The insurrectionists by this time, (' 11 r. a iftaaaailian IliuuiKg IP MUU lU tUiliU UiCUlt una WILUdrawn nearly ait within the Armory grounds, leaving only a guard on the bridge. About this time, also. Samuel Voting, wan shot dead. He was coming into town on horseback, carrying a gun, when he wn? (hot from the Armory, receiving a wound of whicft If died during the day.

He was a graduate of West and greatly respected in the neighborhood for his hUh character and noble qualities, At about noon, the Charlestown troops, under command of Col. Robert W. Baylor, crossed i the tshenandoah ri.ve* sotae distance np, and marched dowu the Maryland side to the of the bridge. Firing a trolley, tfcey wode gallant dash across the bridge, dealing it of the insnrrcctionists, who retreated rapidly down toward the Armory. In this movement of the a man named William Thompson prisoner.

The ibephefdan, next arrived, marching down the atfg, ond joining the Chnriestowu forces at the bridge. 4. exchange of shots followed, one of wiucwMruoa, Mr. Fouutain Beckham, Major of the town, and agent of the Railroad Company, entering his breast, and passing entirely through his body. The bail was a large elongated slug, and made a dreadful Beckham died, almost immediately, ile was without fire-arms, and was exposed for only a moment while approaching a water-station.

His assailant, one of Brown's sous, was shot almost immediately, but session. 11c was detained till after daylight, and then discharged. The watchman who was to relieve Williamson at midnight, fonnd the bridge lights all out, and was immediately jeized. Supposing it an attempt at robbery, be broke away, and his pursuers stumbling over him, he escaped. The next appearance of the insurrectionists was at the house of Col.

Lewis Washington, a large farmer slave-owner, living about four miles from the Ferry. A party headed by Cook proceeded there, and rousing Col. Washington, told him he was their prisoner. They also seized all the slaves near the house, took a carriage horse and a large wagon with two horses. When Col.

Washington saw Cook, he imme- diately recognised him as the man who had called upon him some months previous, and to whom he had exhibited some valuable arms in his possession, including an antique sword presented by Frederick the Great to George Washington, and a pair of pistols presented by Lafayette to Washington, both being heir-looms in the family. Before leaving, Cook wanted Col. Washington to engage in a trial of skill at shooting, and exhibited considerable certainty as a marksman. When he made the visit on Sunday night, he alluded to his previous visit, and the courtesy with which he had been treated, and regretted the necessity which made it hia duty to arrest Col. Washington.

He, however, took advantage of the knowledge he had obtained by his former visit, to carry off all the valuable collection of arms, which the owner did not reobtain till after the final defeat of the insurrection. From Col. Washington's he proceeded with him as a prisoner in the carriage, and twelve of his negroes in the wagon, to the house of Mr. Allstadt, another large farmer on the same road. Mr.

Allstadt and his son, a lad of sixteen, were taken prisoners, and all their negroes within reach forced to join the movement He then returned to the Armory at the Ferrv. All these movements seem to have been mane without exciting the slightest alarm in town, nor did the detention of Capt. Phelps's train at the upper end of thw town attract attention. It was not until the town thoroughly waked up and found the bridge guarded by armed men, and a guard stationed at all the avenues, that the people saw that they were prisoners. A panic appears to have immediately ensued, and the number of insurrectionists was at once increased from fifty (which was probably their greatest force, including the slaves who were forced to join) to from five to six hundred.

In the mean time, a number of workmen, not knowing anything of Jiad occurred, entered the Armory, and were successively taken prisoners, until at one time they had hot less than sixty men confined in the Armory. Among those thus entrapped were Armistead Hall, Chief Draughtsman of the Armory; Benjamin Mills, Master of the Arinorv: and J. E. .1 in I THE NAT 1 1 1 managed to get back to the engine house, where his body was found next day. The murder of Mr.

Beckham greatly excited the populace, who immediately raised a cry to bring out the prisoner, Thompson. He was brought out on the bridge, and there shot down. He fell into the water, and some appearance of life still remaining, he was riddled with balls. At this time the general charge was made down the street from the bridge toward the Armory gate by the Oharleatown and Shepherdstown troops and Ferry people. From behind the Armory wall a fnsilade was kept np, and returned by the insurrectionists from the Armory buildings.

While this was going on, the Martinsburg levies arrived at the upper end of the town, and, entering the Armory grounds by the rear, made an attack from that side. This force was largely composed of railroad empieyees, gathered from the tonnage trains at Martinsburg, and their attack was generally spoken of as showing the greatest amount of fighting pluck exhibited during the day. Dashing on, firing and cheering, and gallantly led by Captain Alburtis, they carried the building in which the Armory men were imprisoned, and released the whole of them. They were, however, but poorly armed, some witn pistols, ana others with shot-pans ana when they came within range of the enginebouse, where the tlitc of the insurrectionists were gathered, and were exposed to the rapid ind dexterous use of Sharpe's rifles, they were breed to fall back, suffering pretty severely. Conductor Evans Dorsey, of Baltimore, was tilled instantly, and Conductor George Richirdson received a wound from which he died luring the day.

Several others were wounded, among them a son of Dr. Hammond of Martinsburg. A guerilla warfare was maintained during the rest of the day, resulting in the killing of two of the insurrectionists, and the wounding cf a third. One crawled out through a culvert leading into the Potomac, and attempted to cross to the Maryland side, whether with the view cf escaping, or conveying information to Cook, is not known. He was shot while crossing the river, and fell dead on the rocks.

An adventurous lad waded out and secured his Sharpe's rifle. The body was afterward stripped of a part of its clothing. In one of his pockets was found a captain's commission, drawn up in full form, and declaring that the bearer, Captain Lehman, held that commission under Major General Brown. A light mulatto was shot jnst outside of the Armory gate. The ball went through the throat, tearing away the principal arteries, and killing him instantly.

His name is not MHIWI1, UUl Ilt3 IS UI1C IUC UUV WIIU came with Brown. His body was left in the street until noon vpsterday, exposed to every indignity that could bo heaped upon it by the excited populace. At this time, a tall, powerful man, named Evans Stephens, came out from the Armory, conducting some prisoners, it was said. He was twice in the side, once in the breast. He was then captured, and taken to a tavern, and after the insurrection was quelled was turned over to the United States authorities in a dying condition.

Duriilg the afternoon, a sharp little affair took place on Shenandoah side of the town. The insurrectionists had also seized Hall's rifle works, and a party of their assailants found their way in through a mill-race, and dislodged them. In this rencontre, it was said, three insurrectionists wore killed, but we found but one dead body, that of a negro, on that side of the town. Night by this time had set in, and operations ceased. Guards were placed around the Armory, and every precaution taken to prevent escapes.

At eleven o'clock, the Monday night train, with Baltimore military and marines, arrived at Sandy Hook, where they waited for the arrival of Col. Lee, deputized by the War Department to take the command. The reporters pressed on, leaving their military allies behind; they found the bridge in the possession of the military, and entered the besieged town without difficulty, the occasional report of a gun or singing motion df a Sharpe's rifle ball warning them that it was advisable to keep themselves out of the range of the Armory. The first visit was made to the bedside of Aaron Stevens, the wounded prisoner; they found him to be a large, exceedingly athletic man, a perfect Samson in appearance, lie was in a small soom, filled with excited armed men, who more than once threatened to shoot him, where he was groaning with pain, but answering with composure and apparent willingness every question in relation to the fray in which he was engaged. He said he was a native of Connecticut, but had lately lived in Kansas, where he knew Captain Brown.

He had also served in the United States army. The sole object of his attempt was to give the negroes and Brown had represented that as soon as tlu-y seized the Armory, the negroes would flock to them by thousands, and they would soon have force enough for their fbr which he would sacrifice his he said he thought Browu had been greatly deceived. He said that preparations had been making for some months for a movement, but thit the whole force consisted of seventeen white men and five free negroes. This statement was repeated without variation by all the prisoners with whom we conversed. All agreed as to the in the movement, and as to its objectsj which some called the work of philanthropy.

Lewis Leary, a negro shot at the rifle mill, stated, before he died, that he enlisted with Capt. Brown for the insurrection at a fair held in Lorraine county, Ohio, and received the money to pay his expenses. Tboy all came down to Chambersburg, and from there they travelled across the country to Brown's farm. The night passed without any serious alarms, but not without excitement. The marines were marched over immediately after their arrival, when Col.

Lee stationed them within the Armory grounds, so as to completely surround the engine-house. Occasionally, shots were fired by country volunteers, but what for was not escertained. There was only one return fire from the insurgents. The broken telegraph was soon repaired, through the exertions of Superintendents Westervelt and Taicott, accompanied the expedition. The announcement that communication was opened with Baltimore gave the press representatives abundant employment.

There was no bed to he had, and daylight was awaited with anxiety. Its earliest glimpses were availed of to survey the scene. A visit to the different localities in which the PftrnaPR nf flip inknrrprtinniala and bloody, a peep close or far off, according to tho courage of the observer, at the Malakoff of the insurgents, wag the established order of sight seeing, varied with a discussion of all sorts of terrible rumors. The building in which the insurgents had made their stand was the fire-engine-house, and no doubt the most defensible building in the Armory. It has dead brick walls on three sttUa, on the fourth large doors, with window sashes aoovc, eight feet from the ground.

A dead stillness surrounded the butWings, and, except that now and then a man might De seen peeping from the nearly-closed door, and a uog'u nose slightly protruding, there was no sign of life, much less of hostility, given. Various opinions as to the number of persons within, and the amount of resistance tbey would be able to offer. The eantton eonld not be used without endangering the safety of Col. Washington, Mr. Daugerfield, Mr.

Ball, and other citizens, whom they still held prisoners. The doors and walls of the bnilding had been pierced for rifles, but it was evident that from these holes no range could be had. and that without opening door they would be shooting in the dark. Man7 thought that the murder of the held was determined upon, and that a fight to the death wdtlld be toe ending of attempt. While people looked and speculated, the door was opcued; fcn4 one of the men came out with a flag of trnco, aua yhat was supposed to be terms of capitulation.

Th? continued preparations for assault showed tbey were assented. Shortly after seven o'clock, Lieut. E. B. Of lst cavalry, who was feting as aid for Col.

Lee, to parley wuti U.e ieged, Samuel Stridor, uftQld aud respectable citizen, liearing a flag of truce. They were received at the bv Capt. Brown. Lieut. Stuart demanded an surrender, only promising them protection from immediate violence, and a trial by law.

Captain Brown refused all terms but those previously demanded, which were, substan tially, "Jhat they should be permitted tc Ml TONAL ERA: WASHES march out with their men and arms, taking their prisoners with them; that they shonld proceed unpursued to the second toll gate, when they would free their prisoners. The soldiers would then be permitted to pursue them, and they would tight if they could not escape." Of course, this was refused; and Lieut. Stuart pressed upon Brown his desperate position, and urged a surrender. The expostulation, though beyond ear-shot, was evidently very earnest; and the coolness of the Lieutenant, and the courage of his aged flag-bearer, Won warm praise. At this moment, the interest of the scene was most intense.

The volunteers were arranged all around the building, cutting off au escape in every direction. The marines, divided in two squads, were ready for a dash at the door. Finally, Lieut. Stuart, having exhausted all argument with the determined Captain Brown, walked slowly from the door. Immediately the signal for attack was given, and the marines, headed by Col.

Harris and Lieut. Green, advanced in two lines on each side of the door. Two powerful fellows sprung between the lines, and, with heavy sledge hammers, attempted to batter down the door. The doors swung and swayed, bat appeared to be secured with a rope, the spring of which deadened the effect of the blows. Failing thus, they took hold of a ladder, some forty feet long, and, advancing at a run, brought it with trc- mendous effect against the door.

At the sec- ond blow, it gave way, one leaf falling inward in a slanting position. The marines iramedi- ately advanced to the breach, Major Russell and Lieut. Green leading. A marine in front i fell The firing from the interior was rapid and sharp. They fired with deliberate aim, and for a moment the resistance was serious and desperate enough to excite the spectators to something like a pitch of frenzy.

The next tnoraunt, the mariues poured in, the firing ceased, and the work was done, while cheers rang from every general feeling being that the I A -11 marines nau uuua uieir pari, aamiramy. When the insurgents were brought out? some dead, and others we i greeted with execrations, aud only the precau- tions that had been taken saved them from immediate execution. The crowd, nearly every man of which carried a gun, swayed with tu- multnous excitement, and cries of Shoot them!" Shoot them!" rang from every side. The appearance of the liberated of whom, through the steadiness of the marines, escaped the current of feeling, and prolonged cheers took the place of howls and execrations. In the assault, private Rupert of the marines received a ball in the stomach, and was believed to be fatally wounded.

Another received a slight flesh wound. The lawn in front of the engine-house after the assault presented a dreadful sight. Laying on it were two bodies of men killed on the previous day, and found inside the house; three wounded men, one of them just at the last gasp of life, and two others groaning in pain. One of the dead was Brown's son Ottoway; the i wounded man and his son Watson were lying on the grass, the father presenting a gory spec- tacle. He had a severe bayonet wound in his side, and his face and hair were clotted with blood.

A short time after Capt. Brown was brought out, he revived, and talked earnestly to those about him, defending his course and avowing that he had done only what was right. He replied to Questions substantiallv as follows Arc you Capt. Brown of Kansas? I am sometimes called so. Are you Ossawatomie Brown I tried to do my duty there.

What was your present object? To free the slaves from bondage. Were any other persons but those with you now connected with the movement? No. Did you expect aid from the North? No 5 there was no one connected with the movement but those who came with me. Did you expect to kill people in order to carry your point? I did not wish to do so, but you forced us to it. Various questions of this kind were put to Capt.

Brown, which he answered clearly and freely, with seeming anxiety to vindicate him- self. He urged that he had the town at his mercy; that he could have burnt it, and murdered the inhabitants, but did not; he had treated the Erisoners with courtesy, and complained that was bunted down like a beast. He spoke of the killing of his son, which he alleged was done while bearing a flag of truce, and seemed very anxious for the safety of his wounded son. His conversation bore the impression of the con- viction that whatever he had done to free slaves was right, and that in the warfare in which he was engaged he was entitled to be treated with all the respect of a prisoner of war. He seemed fully convinced that he was badly treated, and had a right to complain.

Although at first considered dying, an examination of his wounds proved that they were not necessarily fatal. He expressed a desire to live, and to be tried by his country. In his pockets nearly $300 were found in gold. Several important papers, found in his possession, were taken charge of by Col. Lee, on behalf of the Government.

The following is a fragment of a letter found in Brown's pocket: "Capt. Sir: I have uiBnppuimeu in utn Beemg you nere ere tins to take charge of your freight. They hare been here now two weeks, and 1 hare had to saporintend the proriding for has imposed upon me no small task; besides, and if not soon taken off, some of them will go back to Missouri. I wish to know definitely what you propose doing. They cannot be kept here much longer without risk to themselrea, and if any of them conclude to go back to the State, it will be a bad termination to your enterprise." foregoing occupies a page of fine note paper, straw-tinted, is written in pencil, and not dated, and was evidently written by a person of education, and the freight he had was, no doubt, that usually carried on the underground Besides Captain Brown, the prisoners taken son, who is seriously injured in the abdomen, and who is not likely to live; Edward Coppich, who belonged to Iowa; and a negro named Shields Green, who came from Pittsburgh to join Brown.

The stories of all these men are precisely the same. They agree as to the objects proposed to be accomplished, and the number of persons in the movement. Young Brown, in answer to a question, said there were persons in the North connected with the movement, thus differing with his father on this point. Coppich, the other white prisoner, is quite yonng, and seems less shrewd than the others. He said he did not wish to ioin the expedition, and when asked, gave a reply which showed the influence which Brown had over him.

He said," Ah, you gentlemen don't know Capt. Brown; when he calls for us, we never think of refusing to come." Several slaves were found in the room with the insurrectionists, but it is believed that they were there unwillingly. Indeed, Brown's expectation as to slaves rushing to him was entirely disappointed. None seem to have coinu to hijn willingly, and in most cases were forced to desert masters. But one instance iu which slaves made a public appearance with arms in their hands is related.

A negro who had been sharply used by one of the town people, when he found that he had a pike iu his qaod, used his brief authority to arrost the citizen, and have him taken to the Armory. The citizens imprisoned by the insurrectionists all testify to their lenient treatment. They were neither tied nor insulted, and, beyond the outrage of restricting their liberty, were not ill usod, Cant. Brown was always courteous to them, and at all times assured them that they should not be injured. He explained his purposes to them, and while he had them (the workmen) in confinement, made an abolition speech to them.

Col. Washington speaks of him as a man of extraordinary nerve.

There were also found a quautity of United States ammunition, a large number of spears, sharp iron bowjg knives fixed upon terrible looking weapon, intcuded for the use of the spades, pickaxes, shovels, and everything else that might be proving that the expedition was well provided for, that a large party of men were expected to he armed, and that abundant meaus had been provided to pay all expenses. How all these supplies were got up to this farm without attracting observation is very strange. They are supposed to have been brought through Pennsylvania.

The Greys pursued Cook so fast that they secured a part of his arms, but, with bis more perfect knowledge of localities, he was enabled to evade them. On tlipir arrival at. t.hp tlio evening's spoils, they were greeted with hearty cheers. The wagons were driven into the Armory yard, and given into the custody of the Government. As everybody eke helped themselves, why should not the Greys have a share of the spoils The insurrectionists did not attempt to rob the paymaster's department at the Armory.

A large amount of mouey was there, but it was not disturbed. Perfect order having been restored, the military, with the exception of the United States who remained in charge of the prisoners, left in various trains for home. An immense train brought the Baltimore troops (accompanied by the Frederick troops to the junction) home. HIUHJL.Y IMPORTANT THE STATEMENT OF OI.D The Hon. Henry A.

Wise, Governor of Virginia, has established his quarters in the hotel at Harper's Ferry, and is extending his investigation of the insurrection in every direction. Wituesses were being hourly brought before him, and the most alarming proof of a formidable plot was being gradually traced out. Parties of scouts ou horseback, and accompanied by bounds, bad gone to the mountains in search of others of the implicated parties, and for the purpose of recapturing any parties of slaves that might be found making their way into the free States. The Governor is aided in his investigations pcct the aid of from 2,000 to 5,000 men at auy time I wanted. Help was promised me from Maryland, Kentucky, North and South Carolina.

Virginia, and Canada. The blow was struck a little too soon. The passing of the train (Phelps's, on Sunday night) did the work against killed us. 1 should not have let it pass. But I only regret I have failed in my designs, but I have no apologies to make or concessions to ask now.

Had we succeeded, when our arms and fuuds were exhausted by an increasing army, contributions would have been levied on the slaveholders, and their property appropriated to defray expenses, and carry pn the war of Freedom. Haa I known Government money was iu the safe here, I would have appropriated it." Old Brown here appeared quite exhausted, and leaned back in his bed, looking calmly around. Gov. Wise told him he bad better be preparing for death, to which Brown responded, that he, (the Governor,) though he might live fifteen years, would have a good deal to answer for at last, and had better be preparing now too. copt ok xiik anonymous clue to the mystery.

The following is a copy of the anonymous letter sent to the Hon. Secretary of War, from Cincinnati, some two mouths since, and which aliords a clue to the mystery of the insurrection at Harper's Ferry. "Cincinnati, August 20. "Sir: I have lately received information of a movement of so great importanoe that I feel it to be my duty to impart it to you without delay. I have discovered the existence of a secret association, having for its object the liberation of the slaves of the South, by a general insurrection.

The leader of the movement is Old a i.t i v. j'jnri miu ui ivansns. uc uao uccu ill Canada during the winter, drilling tbe negroes there, and they are only waiting his word to start for the Sonth to assist the slaves. Tbey have one of their leading men (a white man) an armory in Maryland where it is 1 am not enabled to learn. A.8 soon as everything is ready, those of their number who are in the Northern States and Canada are to come in small companies to their rendezvous, which is in tbe mountains of Virginia.

Thev will pass down through Penn sylvania and Maryland, and enter Virginia at Harper's Ferry. Brown lefi the North about threO or four weeks ago, and will arm the ne.groes and strike a blow in a few weeks, so that whatever is done must be done at once. They have a large quantity of arms at their rendezvous, and are probably distributing them already. I am not faliy in their confidence. This is all the information I can give you.

I dare not sign my name to this, but trust that you will not disregard this warning on that aecoant." i osno mi by District Attorney Ould, of Washington, who has prepared the papers necessary for the commitment to jail of those of the insurgents captured. The following is the only correct list of the insurgents killed and captured, both black and white, with their nativity and places of residence LIST OF THE INSURGENTS.

Brown has nine wounds, and Stevens three wounds on his person. Edward Coppee is unhurt, and with the negro Copeland was yesterday taken to the jail at Charlestown, Va. Einperor, also negro, is in chains at Harper's Ferry. These five are the miserable remnant of the fanatical hand. THE GOVERNOR'S INTERVIEW WITH OLD BROWN.

Yesterday morning, Gov. Wise, accompanied by District Attorney Ould and several others, visited this remarkable man in his bed-room. Brown was propped up in his bed, evidently suffering great pain from his numerous wounds, but with his mind collected, aud looking calmly about him, now and then giving vent to a groan. The Uovernor, after questioning him several times, got him into a talkative mood, and he voluntarily made the following important disclosures: i "I rented the 'Kennedy Farm' from Dr. Kennedy, of Sharpsburg, Washington county, and named it after him.

Here I ordered to be sent from the East all things required for my undertaking. The boxes were double, so no one could suspect the contents of them, even the carters engaged in hauling them up from the wharf. All boxes and packages were directed to J. Smith Son. I never had more than 22 men about the place, but I had it so arranged that I could arm, at any time, 1,500 men, with the following arms: 200 Sharpe's rifles, 200 Mayuard's revolvers, 1,000 spears and tomahawks.

I would have armed the whites with the rifles and pistols, and the Macks with the spears, they not being sufficiently familiar with the other arms. "I had plenty of fixed ammunition and enough provisions, and had a good risht to ex 27, PORTRAIT OF DR. BAILEY, EDITOR OF ERA."
