No. 672. THE NATIONAL ERA, WASHINGTON, D. C. Vol.

XIV. January, 1860. The National Era is a Political, Literary, and Family Newspaper. It is an uncompromising opponent of Slavery and the Slave Power, an advocate of Personal, Civil, and Religious Liberty, and the friend of the Homestead Bill, and all measures calculated to give to Labor its just consideration, recompense, and political weight. Regarding Slaverv and the issues involved in it as the Great Political Question of the day, it has supported and will continue to support the Republican Party, so long as it shall be true to Freedom.

In principle and policy the Era will continue to be, in all respects, what it has always been. The melancholy event which transferred its responsibilities to the present proprietor, will make no change in its character. The National Era presents a weekly summary of General News and Political Intelli- gence, keeps an accurate record of the proceedings of Congress, and is the repository of a large portion of the most important Speeches delivered in that body. Mr. D.

R. Goodi.oe. for a long time a contributor, and known to you since last January as Assistant Editor, will have charge ot the Political Department, assisted by other able writers. The Literary Miscellany, chiefly original, is supplied by some of the best writers of the country. In the midst of a community hostile or indifferent to its objects, the National Era has for thirteen years labored for the establishment of the principles upon which the Republican Party is founded.

It is certainly important on the eve of a Presidential Campaign, and when incendiary appeals are again made for its suppression by mob that it should be vigorously sustained, and that the seat of Government should uot be surrendered to Pro Slavery influences. The terms of the Era are as liberal as can possibly be afforded bv any pa 1,1 I i i i pri puuuuncu iu una city, reiving upuu iuj suuseription list alone for support. S.

C. WASHINGTON ITEMS. A Colored man Star says, Saturday morning, Alfred Lee, a well known colored man, for many years a dealer in meal, grain, and horse-feed, in this city, was arrested by officer Yeatman, on suspicion of being concerned with Dr. Boyd, now in custody at West minster, in running off a slave of Mrs. S.

E. Howell. The ground of suspicion was the find- i ing of a bag or bags, marked A. Lee.1' with the woman, and also a rumor that one of the horses in Boyd's possession belonged to Lee. The Justice required $1,000 security for a further hearing on Monday week.

Lee bears so good a reputation in this city, that, though the office was filled with the stoutest of ProSlavery men, not one believed that he was guilty of any participation in the affair. It is notorious that Lee's feed-bags have been in very general use where coarse material would answer. Lee says he don't know Boyd or the woman never gave a cent to any slave-stealer's project in his life, and asks a suspension of public opinion until after the final hearing. A Beggar Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says: "On Friday evening last, Detective Allen arrested a stout-built man who was wandering along Seventh street. On being interrogated, the stranger said he was from Harper's Ferry.

He bore the appearance of having been an intelligent man, with an intellect somewhat i paired. A partial examination of his body dis covered numerous marks or scars, which indi cated sharp practice in some way. After ex animation, Justice lnomas t. neia ttie prisoner for another hearing. Officer Allen telegraphed Governor Wise, who quickly responded, directing him to inform President Buchanan, and telegraphed to Harper's Ferry and Charleatown, lor persons to come and identify the man arrested.

4' This morning, Messrs. Michael Ault, George Callis, George Hufmerster, Timothy Harrington, and Linn Curry, of Harper's Ferry, reached here in the cars. They were accompanied by officers Joseph Pearson and Theodore Woodall, of Baltimore, who happened to be at Harper's Ferry when the call was made. Justice Donn, Captain Goddard, Deputy Marshal Phillips, and other officers, met at the prison. They were soon joined by officer Allen, the Baltimore ofti cers, and the visiting gentlemen.

44 TI.e prisoner was brought down in the guard poor, degraded, lazy-looking individual, now considerably improved under the cleansing operation of the prison, the kindness of tome of the guards who had furnished him with trticles of clothing. His examiner was Mr. Ault, who at once recogi ised the prisoner as having passed and paid toll to him last Sunday morning, on tire Harper's Ferry bridge. He told Mr. A.

that he was going to Columbia. Said Mr. Did you not tell me that you were going to Columbia 4 said the prisoner, 4 this is the District of Columbia? The visiting gen tlemen all recognised him as having been arrested at Harper's Ferry, but there being no evidence against him, he was suffered to depart, on condition of his leaving the place in a few hours. it is certain that the loathsome appearance of his entire body is caused by vermin. In reply to a question from Captain Goddard he 4 When a young man, the Freemasons had broken his 4 He intended to reside here born in Philadelphia, claimed relationship with respectable citizens of Boston, Ac The entire interview seemed to satisfy the visiters, as well as mo3t others present, that the prisoner is a sort of4 national who will find employment soon in our work-house.

Of course, he remains in custody, and probably will for some days." We find in the States a thrilling account of the arrest of this fellow. According to that journal, he admitted his complicity in Brown's attack on Harper's Ferry, and had shot-wounds upon his back and neck. We quote as follows He was searched, and, on removing his outward apparel, he proved to be in disguise, and instead of the venerable age of 80 years, not over 34 or 3G. 4" A further examination disclosed the fact of fresh shot wounds, from his neck all over his breast. 44 He was then accused by the officer of being one of the tribe of Ossawatomie Brown? a fugitive from justice.

He admitted that he was in the armory at Harper's Ferry at the time of the riot, and made his escape to the mountains, and took refuge, till within a few days he reached the District of Columbia. 44 He feigned to be insane, and said he was an educated gentleman, and in Pennsylvania, lived in Boston and Philadelphia. He refused to render any other account of himself, denying any knowledge of or com munication with Ossawatomie, or the conspiracy at Harper's Ferry. 44 There teas found on his person a large-size pocket-knife, a case of needles, and a spool oj black If this last fact, in regard to the arms borne by the prisoner, can be relied upon, it is surprising that the fellow bus been permitted to sneak off as an idiot or beggar. The spool of black thread is ominous.

Items Telegraphed from Washington. Washington, Nor. information, just received from that Judges Sini .1 Clair Hliu VII UiCll tu Washington, and Mr. Hartnett, Secretary of the Territory, arrived here yesterday. It appears there continue to be frequent murders and assassinations, but no arrests, as the Mormons systematically obstruct the course of justice.

The opinion prevails among all the Gentiles that the courts will be useless, unless the Government shall change its policy. General Johnston is so restricted by his instructions that he cannot move to afford necessary protection, and ihe -continuance of the army at Camp Floyd only serves to add to the prosperity of the Mormon's by means of the large sums of money spent in the Territories for supplies. The receipts into the Treasury of the United States during the last week were $819,000, a reduction from the amount on hand the previous week of nearly $125,000. Amount subject to draft, $4,741,000.

The Liberal expedition against Tehuacan, Orizaba, and Cordova, was a disastrous failure. Gen. Mejia, without firing a gun, retreated, losing six hundred men taken prisoners, one thousand muskets, and twelve cannon, which Gen. Minon captured without killing one. Gen.

Marquiza had pronounced for Santa Anna, after seizing a conducta having in charge $2,800,000 in specie, which he undertook to escort to Tepicj and appropriated $000,000 of the amount to himself, and detained the rest at Guanajuato. The British and French Ministers energetically protested against the act. President Miramon, against the wishes of his Cabinet, with only four aids, left the capital, ostensibly to collect troops, and pursue Marquiza as a traitor, but it was feared that Miramon was leagued with Marquiza. The Liberals were greatly encouraged thereby. Gen.

Degollado had defeated Gen. Alfard, and captured his artillery. He entered Guanajuato with 5,000 men. Gen. Woll was at and Gen.

Degollado was pursuing. Rio Grande city had been attacked by a portion of Cortiua's band, who pillaged nearly every house. It was reported that Cortina's two bands number 700 men.

The Great Eastern rode out the gale admirably. The only portion of the steamer Royal Charter that was standing on Wednesday evening was a small part of her stern, with the wheel and screw and lifting apparatus. She struck at three o'clock Wednesday morning, and broke up at seven. Before striking, her cables parted, when she tried to steam off the coast; but the wind blowing a hurricane, she drifted ashore, and H70 persons were lost. Only dO were saved.

All the women perished. The steamship Circassian arrived at Galway on the 27th ult. The American Ambassador has returned om Pekin without the ratified treaty, but the ratification has taken place at Pehoang by a commission. The journals of Paris arc daily becoming more acrimonious towards England. A tionary plot has been discovered.

The conspirators belong to the upper class, and possess considerable funds. The Paris Constitutional says that France will not submit to the action of England with regard to the Xuez panal affair. It is stated that Napoleon will visit the King of the Belgians.

Constantinople, Oct. chiefs in the late conspiracy have been condemned to death; this created eTferment among the populace, and i threats of vengeance have mysteriously reach ed the palace of the Sultan.

There had been another heavy gale on the coast of England, but no American disaster had been reported. The ship Charles Holmes, from Liverpool for Mobile, had been totally wrecked, (time and place not mentioned,) ami the crew all lost. The Emperor Napoleou had written a letter to Victor Emanuel, urging him to assist to carry out the Villafranca agreement. The Hungarian sent into the "port of St. John forty-two people, saved from the wreck of a vessel from at the risk of the lives of those on ooard the steamer, for which the captain and crew deserve the great est praise.

She immediately proceeded on her i voyage, after performing this noble act of humanity. Napoleon's letter to the King of Sardinia demands that the Graud Duke be recalled to Modena, and that Pai ma be united to Piedj mont; that Tuscany, in territory, I be restored to the Grtjid Duke, and that the projected confederation of moderate reforms be called out. France disclaims the idea of aiding Spain against Morocco. The Zurich Conference had reassembled. Count Karolitye represents Austria.

All the treaties would be signed in a few days. It was asserted thafa the proposed Congress would take place with the adhesion of England. Spain was expected to commence offensive operations against M. about the 8th oi November. Gen.

Garibaldi had at Turin, to have an interview with the A.ing. He was enthusiastically received alor the route. The Duke of been removed from the French the Interior. Count Bumault is his successor. The Paris correspondent of the London Times thinks we may reckon on a rising in Naples before long.

The Post's correspondent says the Austrian Government is affording every facility to the Neapolitan agents at Trieste in recruiting foi a foreign legion to replace the Swiss, and foi a body guard of his Sicilian Majesty. Corp; of all nations are engaged and forwarded or to Gaeta. Garibaldi has addressed a procla mation to the Neapolitans. The following are extracts: To our Brothers of Naples: Brothers, have com batted the Austrians, we have fough these insolent oppressors of Italy, and we havd beaten them. We have fought as Italians figU when united, and not with us.

TU shout of victory was heard in every dialect ef eept yoars, and we know your hearts beat hir in the cans? of the country, yet Providence lfs decreed the union and alliance of our familybf this poor Italian family. Foreigners and priests labor in vain. In i vain they seek to discord to corrupt fhe THE hapless people whom they have divided often, and so often sold to the strangers in vain. Our brothers of the South have cleared the minds of our brothers of the North. The sons of Pro cedas, the Massaniellos, and the Pieros, have grasped the victorious hand of the soldiers of Palestro and San Martino." rPL i ice raris corresponaent ot tne Times reports the state of affairs between England and France as to the Congress as being more encouraging, and it was believed that, after all, an English plenipotentiary would take his seat with the representations of the other Powers, for the purpose of settling the Italian question.

The French expeditionary force to Morocco is to be augmented by two brigades, including two regiments of Zouaves. The Herald's correspondent says that the tone of semi-official journals of Paris is daily becoming more acrimonious toward England? the Italian difficulty and the Suez canal affair being the principal subjects for abuse. The baihj News continues to announce fresh contributions to the Garibaldi musket fund. Richard Cobden proposes spending the ensuing season with his family in Paris. The hostile article in the Constitutionnel, on the Suez canal, begins by the assertion that the prohibition sent by the Sultan to the Pacha of Egypt has been obtained by the interest of Sir H.

Bulwer, and remarks it is important to the Powers of Europe, and more especially to France, to know this fact officially. France need not be astonished, for it is only in accordance with her eternally aggressive and selfish policy. England is charged with the design of ruining M. D. Lesops, in order, at a further time, to cut through the Isthmus, and thus comI 1 1 picic uci jiuc ui trauiuaive luinrcsa iroin dtrstfj to the East Indies, and at the same time to put herself in a position to cut off all communications between France and Algeria.

This plan, it says, is a grand conception, but too ambitious for the present day, and France will not staud it. PURTHER FROM EUROPE. Nttc Turk, Nov. steamer Asia, from Liverpool, with advices to the 29th arrived here this morning. Though not so late as the advices per steamer Hungarian, telegraphed from Cape Race on Thursday last, yet her papers contain many items of interest.

The Asia's mails left for the South this afternoon. The steamer Vigo leavus Liverpool December 20th, for Philadelphia. The steamer Great Eastern was expected to leave for Southampton on the 2d. It was reported that she goes to Liverpool in the spring, and that Scott Russell's services have been dispensed with. The number of persons saved from the wreck of the Royal Charter was only thirty-nine.

Four hundred and fifty were drowned. Great damage was done by the storm all round the coast of England. Numerous coasting vessels had been lost, and also many lives. The American ship Rockingham, from Cardiff, lost her anchors, and ran on the mud in Penrath Road. The barque Marlborough, from Baltimore, waa tntallv Inst linar 1 lfrai-nmhn fin tti? moot of Devon, and the second mate and pilot were drowned.

The ship Tornado, at Liverpool, from New York, was struck by a heavy sea, Oct. which carried overboard the first aud mates, five seamen, and two boats. The divers, after the examination of the wreck of the Royal Charter, reported so unsatisfactorily as to the probability of the recovery of the gold on board the ill fated vessel, that the underwriters have demanded 40 per cent, of the insurance. Fears were entertained that the bullion-room would not be found intact. A few additional bodies have been recovered.

The bullion in the Bank of England has decreased The money market was slightly more stringent, but active. Lord Brougham has been elected Chancellor of the University of Edinburgh. The widow of Sir Robert Peel is dead. The French Government has ordered one hundred gun-boats, twenty-five of which are to be completed with the utmost dispatch. The arrangements for a combined French and English expedition to China are completed, and its departure fixed for the first fortnight of February.

The United States frigate Wabash was at Naples. I he l'aris correspondent ot the Many savs the recent meeting of the Emperor of Kus sia and Prince Regent of Prussia was subject of great anxiety at Paris. It was the gen eral impression that they agreed not to oppose the annexation of Otentral Italy to Piedmont. The conservatives of Liverpool gave a grand banquet to Lord Derby and the principal tnein bers of the last Administration. A letter purporting to be from Napoleon to the King of Sardinia, dated October 20th, had been printed, and was generally regarded as genuine.

The Emperor observes that the ques tion is not now whether he did well or ill at Vil lafranca, but rather to obtain from the treaty the results most favorable to the pacification ol Italy. It was necessary to conclude a treaty that should secure in the best manner possible the independence of Italy, that should satisfy Piedmont, and yet, which should not wound Catholic sentiment or the rights of the sover eigns in whom Europe felt an interest. The Emperor says he is bound by that treaty, and cannot, in the Congress which is about to open withdraw himself from his engagements. The Emperor demands that the Duchess ol Parma be called to Modena, and that Parma be united to Piedmont. That Tuscany, aug mantotl norKuna Kr a nnrtiftn of torritnrv Kn restored to the Grand Duke Ferdinand, and that systems of moderate liberty shall be adopt ed in all the States of Italy.

The Emperor traces a plan for the Italian Confederation, with the Pope as honorary Pres ident, and says, as this will increase his moral in Hutfice, it will enable him to make concessions in conformity with the legitimate wishes of the populations. The Dresden Journal of the 1st asserts thai England will send a representative to Congress without making any condition. The same jour nal says that this Congress will probably meet at Paris. The London Times, in an article urging dis patch in the China expedition, says "If pri vate American letters from China speak the truth, Mr. Ward was, with a studied intent tc ridicule him, drawn to Pekin by a mule and donkey tandem and if his ratified treaty is found destitute of the only useful stipulation the draft contained, regulations for the trade and tariffs, then we conceive the Americans may by this lime have concluded their humilitj has not The Turin Ministerial journal says, the Cab inet has not adhered to the diplomatic arrangements by which Italy is disposed of at Zurich; and in case Romagna is attacked, Piedmont will take the field to assist them.

Insurrection has not ceased in Italy, as reinforcements of troops were still going there, and numerous arrtests were being made. The Pope is said to have accepted the prin cipies of reform suggested, but desires to be kimBelf the judge of the time they are to be apjiied. Gen. Garibaldi, in his speech at Turin, says; Vith a King like Victor Emanuel, and an amy like ours, and with a people you, i Itiy should not stop until she has freed the lat inch of her soil from the heel of the for! It has been stated that the King of Abyssinia ceded to France the isle and port of Massiiah, in the Red sea. JM.

Marriott A in their Liverpool cotton circular, say the late severe weather had created an impression that corresponding weather had probably prevailed in the United States, which might act detrimentally upon the growth of cotton there, and the produce of any smaller quantity than four millions of bales will now be contemplated with anxiety. Further from Orleans, Nov. advices received by the Tennes see iuuy connrtn me aeteat ot tbe Liberal expedition against the Church party, whose positions were strongly fortified in the mountains near Puebla. In the engagement at Guanajuato, between the Liberals and the troops belonging to the Church party, however, the latter were defeated. General Marquiza, who was formerly in league with the Church party, had abandoned it, and joined the Liberals.

The most authentic intelligence from Rio Grande city is to the effect that only a portion of the houses were pillaged by the Mexican rebels, and that the citi; zens had sent to the Governor for assistance. DOMESTIpSITlllIARY. From Denver Nov. 11. The express from Denver City, of the 3d has arrived, bringing $35,000 in treasure.

Mr. Williams, a delegate from the Territory of Jefferson, comes passenger by the express. I His seat will be contested by Dr. Willing. The election of Mr.

Steel as Governor is confirmed. The Legislature was to meet on the 7th. The weather on the mountains was very fine. The yield of gold at the mines continued large. The Utah mail of the 21st ult.

Gerrit Smith's to Commit regard to the insanity of Gerrit Smith, the Utica Herald says: We learn that he is very violent, and has exhibited a disposition to com mil suicide, and that an attendant keeps constant watch over him, to prevent him from laying violent hands on himself.

This result we hear attributed to the connection of Mr. Smith's name with the Harper's Ferry affair, though many will regard it as the consequence of a longseated and marked disease. Mr. Smith is said to have an hereditary predisposition to I insanity. His father, Peter Smith, though I the possessor of an immense estate, and surrounded by every circumstance of prosperity, was subject to fits of profound despondency, during which he was under the impression that he would die a beggar.

Unlike his noted son, he was exceedingly Bharp in his bargains and money affairs. It is also said that the lata Peter Sken Smith, the brother of Gerrit, was for some time an inmate of a lunatic asylum, though when he died he was generally considered as in possession of his reason. Gerrit Smith has lost all his children but one, the wife of Col. Miller, of Peterboro'. A nephew of Mrs.

Smith, Col. Fitzhugh, was the captor of the fugitive Cook, a fact which greatly disturbed the mind of Mr. Smith. John Cochrane, a Demo cratic politician of New York city, another nephew of Gerrit Smith, has also, by his speeches, purged himself of any complicity in I the Harper's Ferry affair." The Rochester Express says Ever since the denouement of the mad and foolhardy attempt of old Brown at liar! 17 vw, jici a i ciij, uiuc uovc isctch i uiuuia iiiai ucirit Smith was in a most distressing and pitiable state of mind. It is said that he has been constantly wringing his hands and bemoaning the fate of poor Brown, and accusing himself with having been instrumental in bringing his friends into their present sore troubles.

While making a brief visit to the neighborhood of Mr. Smith's residence, a few days since, we learned that his friends were apprehensive that his reason would give way under the load i of grief and anxiety the events of Harper's Ferry and neighborhood has occasioned, and we were I not, therefore, surprised to learn this morning that these fears have been realized, and that the unhappy man is now a raving lunatic. He was taken to the lunatic asylum at Utica yes; terday." The Court orows find the following paragraph in the Alexandria Gazette Notes from one of Brown's associates, has been tbund guilty of murder and conspiracy, but not guilty of treason, because he is a colored man, and therefore not a citizen. George Sennott, the lawyer sent from Bos: ton to defend the remaining insurgents, has made himself exceedingly unpopular. In defending shields Green, one of the negroes, he picked all sorts of Haws in the indictment, and was so irreverent generally, that the court and the spectators began to feel wolfish, and it was with difficulty they kept their chivalrous hands I off him.

I Mr. Brockeft, a Boston artist, arrived at Charlestown on Wednesday, to procure a likeness of Brown, and a measurement of his head, to aid in making a bust, for which he has re i i ceiveu uuiiiiiiissiun, uui iuuiiu it tu obtain access to Brown on account of the new excitement raised by Sennott, and it is doubt1 fill whether he will be allowed to take Brown's daguerreotype. The idea of a statue to the man who has plotted treason against Virginia, does not suit the fitness of things." The Harper'sFerry trial of Cook was concluded at Charlestown on Wednesday evening, by a verdict similar to that found against Brown and Coppic. The same motion for arrest of judgment, with a view to carrying the case to the Court of Appeals, was made as in the previous cases. The prisoner Stevens has been handed over to the United States authorities for trial for treason.

He will be tried by the United States Circuit Court for Virginia, and the decision there will be final, the law providing for no appeal in criminal cases tried in the Federal courts, even where life is concerned. The court on Thursday sentenced Coppic and Cook, and the negroes i Copeland and Green, to be hung on the 16th of December. It is supposed Gov. Wise will reprieve Brown, previously sentenced to be hung on the 2d proximo, and that the execution of all the condemned will take place on the ICth. CowicTtON of Capt.

Charlettoxcn, Nov. jury brought in a verdict to-day against John E. Cook, of guilty of murder in the first degree and inciting slaves to insurrection. The court immediately sentenced Cook and all the other convicts tried since Brown was convicted to be hung on the 16th of December. It is supposed the Governor will respite Brown to that day, and hang all at the same time.

The court adjourned for the term. The confession of Cook will not be published in the papers, as it will be printed in pamphlet form, and sold for the benefit of Mr. Samuel C. Young, of Charlestown, who was severely wounded in front of the Armory gate whilst assisting in the attack on the insurgents. John Brown's A correspondent says: The lady who, with her visited John Brown, for the purpose of offering her services as nurse, and was sent back with little ceremony, was Mrs.

Marcus Spring, formerly of this city, and now of Eagleswood, New Jersey. She is the daughter of the Quaker Abolitionist, Arnold Buffum, and, considering her pacific principles and gentle character, there is something ludicrous in the suspicious scrutiny with which the Virginians regarded her. Frederica Bremer, in the journal of her travels in the United States, makes frequent and grateful reference to the hospitality of Mrs. Spring and her Post. Justice to John Pottawatoi mie read in your issue of this morniog, in connection with a merited flagellation of G.

W. Brown, of the Lawrence Herald of freedom, a tacit admission that John Brown executed the Pottawatomie massacre of May 26, 1856, in which five of Buford's ruffians came to their death. Brown related the cir, cumstances to me in the fall of 1856, substantially as it was given in the Press and Tribune, but "said expressly and unequivocally that he i had no hand in the killing of the men who were found dead, directly or indirectly. I gathered from the conversation which I had with him at that time, that he told some of his acquaint JII.IIIIIKMII D. NOVEMBI anees that the five ruffians had come into the neighborhood in pursuance of an oath to take his (Brown's) life, and that they (the acquaintances) forestalled the death in the manner already known, without Brown's knowledge.

I believe that Brown would not tell a lie I believe so, even without Gov. Wise's emphatic endorsement of his truthfulness. So it appears that Mr. G. W.

Brown was as false in his subject matter as he was mean and malicious in his intentions. writer of the above is an old rerident and well known citizen of Chicago, whose word would be instantly taken, among those who know him, as against the oath of the Herald of Freedom Chicago Frees and Mrs. Mary A. Brown, wife of Captain Brown, now under sentence of death at Charlestown, arrived in Baltimore last Monday week, from Philadelphia, intending to start for Harper's Ferry in the train Tuesday morning. In the afternoon, however, she received a dispatch from the North, requesting her to return immediately to Philadelphia, and she left again for home in the evening train.

She is about thirtyfive years of age, very tall and masculine, and was evidently in great digress of mind." A Precedent for the Harper's Ferry capture of the United States Arsenal at Harper's Ferry was not unprecedented even in our recent history. On the 4th of December, 1853, Captain Leonard, of the United States army, had charge of the United States Arsenal at Liberty, Missouri. Judge James V. Thompson, of that asked of the Captain permission to see the Arsenal, and while there, a party of Missourians, numbering more than Brown's whole force, surprised the place, took Captain Leonard prisoner, forced open the Arsenal, took, cannon, guns, and powder, and then let Leonard go. The arms were used in the attack upon and the burning of Lawrence.

We have not jet heard that either State of Federal authority was exerted to apprehend and punish the Cleveland Leader. Mysterious the last quarter, some fifteen or twenty letters were received at the Warrenton Springs post office, in this county, addressed to persons who have never called for them, and whose names are not familiar to any of the citizens of the neighborhood. We are informed by Mr. A. A.

Thompson, the postmaster, that he has made diligent inquiry, and examined the register at the Springs, without being able to find any names answering to those on the letters. There is a mystery about this matter which catr only be unravelled by the letters themselves. 1 hey may contain some additional information in reference to the recent outbreak at Harper's Ferry, which would perhaps be Warrenton (Fa.)

The resolution was, after some discussion, finally adopted. A schedule of rates was then arranged for the winter, in which the all rail rates from Cincinnati to Baltimore are 120 for 1st, 00 for 2d, 70 for 3d, and 48 for 4th; and for flour, 00 cents. Per rail and water, 110, 82, 43, respectively, with 80 for flour.

Judicial Dignity and Independence in Stump, of Baltimore, thus delivered himself in regard to the newspapers in his court room, on Monday last: The papers, he said, are constantly filled with anonymous slanders and vituperations against me, but I've got. used to it. I don't care a chew of tobacco for these penny-a-line writers, who are no lawyers, and yet write glib ly upon law, and upon other subjects which they do not understand. If I sentence a man for six years for some offence, the newspapers come out and say I should have given ten years, and then some Reformers go down to Annapolis, and importune the Governor to let the fellow off before he has been in jail four months.

Well, I don't care I have been put here, and I'm going to stay here until ray time is out." At Brownsville, on the 3d, affairs continued exciting aud deplorable. The citizens were compelled to be on tbe watch day and night, for fear of an hourly attack, aud were thoroughly exhausted in consequence. All the mails wcw uj wimci itiiu iriiuc at a stand still. Not only was Brownsville in imminent danger of a general onslaught, but the whole country was threatened. Point Isabel had also received warning of danger.

Provisions were being sent from Matamoras to Brownsville. The Mexican authorities and troops of the former place were also rendering piWtiptly all the aid iii their power. The three millions of specie expected soon at Brownsville destined for New Orleans. Convention of Raii.roai> Agents The Winter leading railroad freight ageuts held an adjourned meeting at Cincinnati on the 10th inst. Letters were also read from H.

H. Houston, of the Pennsylvania Central, and H. Mears, of the Baltimore and Ohio, adopting the schedule lately made at Dayton, the latter road relying upon the adjourned Convention taking positive action with reference to the water, rail, and water route of the Baltimore and Ohio to New York and Boston, which the road insisted upon being protected in. A letter was read from the New York Central, stating that that road was already charging higher rates than those adopted at Dayton, and declining to accept any less than their present rates. The first subject brought before the Convention was the differences proper to be made between all rail, rail and water, and water, rail and water, but the Convention was unable to arrive at a satisfactorv basis.

Mr. Smith, superintendent of the Marietta road, admitted that that company had receipted for water and rail rates, but had no fixed policy, and was not disposed to create any trouble, or involve the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in any difficulty with other roads. The schedule referred to above was then adopted. During the deliberations of the Convention, Mr.

H. I). Mean, general freight agent of the Baltimore and Ohio, arrived, but it was understood that he declined to take part in the deliberations. The New York Central road finally telegraphed, through Dean Richmond, its vice president, that that company would not carry out any rates beyond Erie, without consultation with the owners of the road. Reported Capture of Orleans, Nov.

Delta of to day contains a letter, dated Corpus Christi, Sept. 7th, which says it is almost certain that Brownsville has fallen into tho hands of Cortinas, and that the Mexican flag was flying four miles above the town. All direct communication had been cut off. The entire Mexican population on both sides of the Rio Grande was in arms, with the avowed intention of carrying on a war of extermination against the Americans, and reconquering the country to the Colorado river. This news is confirmed by affidavits of citizens of Cameron county, who escaped for their lives.

Another affidavit says the frontier of i the Rio Grande is in a state of war. Cortinas rs sustained by the Mexican population. Earnest appeals are made by the American 1 population for aid. Eighty men were advancI ing to the relief of Brownsville from Corpus but they will eucounter seven hundred i men under Cortinas. Col.

The Drummond Light Dr.

George H. Smith, of Rochester, has just perfpOtPli ii MPW lirrlit tKo nrni is ahead of the celebrated Druminond light, and perfectly marvellous in its brilliancy and power. It is produced by the combustion, through a peculiarly arranged burner, of carburetted hydrogen gas, combined with a certain proportion of oxygen gas. The amalgamated gases are ignited and thrown in tiny jets upon a radiator in the burner, which is rendered by tneir combustion intensely incandescent, so as to produce au enormous quantity of light. The light has been placed upon one of the locomotives of the Central railroad, with which an experimental trip was made for the purpose of exhibiting it to a party invited to the excursion.

The Demoi-rat says: The track was perfectly visible from the machine, for a distance of from twelve to fifteen hundred feet, so that the slightest obstrue tion could readily have been discerned by the engineer. On a long stretch of straight road the locomotive was brought to a stop, and the party alighted to go ahead, in order to ascertain the effect upon an observer. Looking at the light from a distance of tifteen hundred feet, the eye is unable to endure its brilliancymore than an iustant; and from a distance of one thousand feet, it cannot be steadily observed at all. It was found that a man with optics of ordinary power could, solely by the light reflected from the lamp, readily read a newspaper printed in type like that with which this article set, a full quarter of a mile from the locomotive I This seems incredible, but it is literally true. The distance was carefully measured off by a professional engineer, who was iu the party." Letter from Brown, under sentence of death at Charlestown, Virginia, has written a letter to Mrs.

L. Maria Child, thanking her for her tender of services to go there and attend his wants, and saying it is unnecessary, as he is in charge of a most humane gentleman, who, with his family, have rendered him every possible attention he desired, or that could be of the least advantage; and that he Bna on fervni Vi i a an longer to require nursing. lie suggests, however, that Mrs. Child might judiciously extend her sympathy and pecuniary aid to his family, of whom he says I have at home a wife and three youDg daughters, the youngest but little over live years old, the oldest nearly sixteen. I have also two daughters-in-law, whose husbands have both fallen near me.

There is also another widow, Mrs. Thompson, whose husband fell here. Whether she is a mother or not, I cannot say. All these, my wife included, live at North Elba, Essex county, New York. I have a middleI aged son, who has been in some degree a crip) pie from his childhood, who would have as much as he could well do to earn a lfving.

He was a most dreadful sufferer in Kansas, and lost all he had laid up. He has not enough to clothe himself for the wiuter comfortably. I have no living son, or son-in-law, who did not suffer terribly in Kausas." The Arrest of a Kidnapper in Carroll have already mentioned that a white man was arrested in Carroll county, last week, and that he had with hiai a wagon and provisions, and was accompanied by a col! ored man and woman, supposed to be en route i for a free State. They are now in jail at West: minster. Mr.

George E. Wampler, of Westminster, writes to Mayor Berret, of Washington city, to the following effect: The woman is supposed to be a slawe of i Clark Mills, of Washiugton, and the man, who is her husband, is owned in Prince George's I county, out was mrea iu asnington. 1 ne white man is said to have resided in Washington for the last two years. It is probable he will be sent to Virginia to answer the charge of attempting to run off Col. Lee's slaves.

The negro woman says she was brought from the college in your city. The negro man has not revealed where he came from, bnt the white man says he came from Washington, and the whole conveyanoe is well prepared to aid negroes. The white man is fully identified as the man who was with Col. Lee's blacks last spring, and who was taken from here in July last by one of your city officers. He says that he owns but one-fifth of the horses aid wagon, and to keep the horses at livery until oar April term, they will be of heavy expense.

Tour in quiry touching this matter might lead to the arrest of others." A False Alarm in Somerset Cocnty, the night of the 4th inst. a slave man belenging to Washington Waller, was shot dead by a patrol of white men in Dames Quarter district, Somerset county, Md. i The Union says the circumstances are substantially as follow 1 On Thursday night, a needless alarm of insurrection and murder was given at a meeting-house in the neighborhood. The congregation, we learn, were at prayers at the time the alarm was given; the prayers were forgotten, and the utmost confusion and excitement prevailed the benches were broken up for clubs, and with these, and such weapons as the men could obtain at the time, they scoured the neighborhood but finding nothing upon which to vent their indignation, they dispersed, still under froat Tko Ua 0 uv patrol was organized, and with puns, clubs, and other weapons, they proceeded, under great ex- i citcment, to search the huts of the free negroes in the neighborhood- At one of these huts the unfortunate negro was found. He was at- i temping to escape when fired upon bv the excited crowd, who mistook him for an insurgent.

The shot pierced his back, taking effect iu his lungs and bowels, and producing instant death. This has all, we have no doubt, grown out of the excitement produced by the Harper's Ferry affair." I Arrival of thf. Overland Mail. St. Louis, Nov.

Overland California mail of the 24th has arrived. The ship Mastiff, from, San Francisco, had been burned at sea. Her specie and passengers were conveyed to Honolulu. The King of the Sandwich Islands, in a fit of jealousy, had dangerously wounded his private secretary, causing great excitement. The King contemplated abdication, but reconsidered the matter.

i Almost the entire busiuess portion of the towu of Coultersville was burned on the 20th. The Sacramento Standard states that Gov.

The authorities are doing nothing, and the Picuynne urges the city to furnish the money. Particulars of the Visit of the America Minister to Peein, and the Kxcuanok of the Ratified letter from Shanghae, under date of August 22d, gives the subjoined account of the visit of Mr. Ward, the American Minister to Pekin On the 1 lith July, the United States steamship Powhatan was anchored off Peitang, when an Imperial edict arrived, that the American Minister and his suite of twenty should be esI corted with all honor to Pekin. On the 20th, Mr.

Ward and suite landed, were received by an escort, and conducted to Pekin with every show of respect. They lirst travelled 45 miles across the country in covered carts, striking "the Peiho 10 miles above the Tien Tsing thence proceeded in junks within eleven miles of Pf kiu, whence they again took carts to the capi- tal. The trip occupied eight and a half days. The Legation remained at Pekin fifteen days, during which they were confined to their quarters, not, however, as prisoners, for they were at liberty at any moment to walk out, but the commissioner refused them the use of horses and guides, leaving it optional with Mr. Ward to remain or not, as he pleased.

They would doubtless, however, have closed the gates entirely, had not Mr. Ward taken a firm stand at the first interview, that as soon as his movements were at all restricted, he would close all intercourse and demand his return, under escort. It seems that the Emperor was very anxious to see Mr. Ward, but that be also insisted upon his performing that is, prostrating himself nine times, with his head on the ground, which was positively refused. The result was, that on the 14th day it was finally concluded to receive the President's letter at Pekin, and send Mr.

Ward back to Peitang to exchange the treaty, and the next day they returned. At Peitang, on the ICth, the treaties were exchanged, and nn English prisoner named John Powell, was given up, having proclaimed himself an American. The United States steamers Mississippi and Powhatan were at Shangbae, the Toeywan at the Gulf of Pecheli, and the Germantown at Japan." death.
