A few powerful efforts shattered the strong doors of this outhouse of the government, which was filled with fire engines, and as they yielded to the force of this battering ram and flew in pieces, an extra shout went up from the multitude. The moment the upper part of the doors went down, Lt. Green and his marines fired a volley into the insurgents with deadly aim. Maj. Russel then sprang upon the ladder and preceded them.

The conflict was terminated in a few minutes. One of the marines, private Quinn, was borne off fatally wounded by a shot in the abdomen, -'nd another private, Rupert, received a flesh wound in the upper lip and had one or more of his upper teeth knocked out. The imprisoned names havebeen mentioned, then rushed out, and leaving the enclosure were greeted most warmly by their friends, some or them having been confined since Sunday evening last. Two white insurgents were brought out as prisoners, one named Watson Brown, a son of the leader of the was in a very helpless condition from wounds received on Monday, and another named Edwin Coppee, of Iowa, who was uninjured. A free negro from Harrisburg, named Shields Green, a somewhat notorious character, was also arrested.

Four or five other negroes were also taken out of the engine-house, who were known to be slaves belonging to the neighborhood, and supposed to have been forcibly detained. But several of the insurgents had been killed in the assault by the marines, and the most painful and exciting act in the tragedy was the bringing out of the dead bodies. Five of them lay upon the grass, one named J. Anderson in the last agonies of dissolution; another, the leader, the older Brown, with a hea. vy gash upon his forehead.and three other wounds upon his body, supposed to be mortal, but still calm and collected, and conversing intelligently, without an indication or emotion of pain, and answering all the questions of the crowd about him.

Another son of the leader, named Brown, was was taken out stark and cold, he having been killed the day previous; Stewart Taylor, also killed instantly by a ball through his head and one through his body, and Albert Haslitt, killed instantly. The wounds were shocking to behold, and all were weltering in blood. The writer had a conversation with the dying man, Ander-derson. He said that the elder Brown had been their leader, and he had always looked up to him as a great man. A letter was found in his pocket from his brother, J.

J. Anderson, of Chilicothe, stating that the contents of his last letter upon the question of slavery were "devoured with eagerness." Upon the body of Haslitt was found a lock of his wife's hair and a piece of her dress. Upon the, person of the leader, the notorious "Ossawottamie Brown," of Kansas, was found by one of the volunteer surgeons of the division.

The receipts from ward collections were 11.377 48. from other sources $5,14 95, which, with 81 on hand at the close of the preceding year, made a total of 519,092 30.

Brune, had informed them of the reception of a donation of $1,000 from the widow of the late George Brown, which is restricted to the purchase of fuel, and they had in accordance with the desire purchased 150 cords of wood additional, at 75 per cord. The committee had determined to make further purchases. but the restriction wa received from the donations, and there being 1 cords subject to the order of the committee they desisted from a further investment. The report was adopted. The subject of the publication of the annual address to the public was taken up and considerable discussion was had on the question whether the names of the members of the association should be appended.

It was finally determined that the names shall be appended to the address. The secretary stated that the session room of the Charles street Methodist Church had leeu offered in which to hold the annual meeting, which was accepted. The appropriations for October were then made 100 each to the first, third and fourth districts, and $125 to the second district. A committee of one from each ward was appointed a committee to nominate oflioers for the next year, to be voted for at the annual meeting oa Monday evening next. After which the association adjourned.

The Case of J. H. Thomas, Esq. The case of the arrest by policeman Thomas Edwards of H.Thomas, en the day of the municipal election, while he and other reformers were being1 assaulted by a gang of rioters, had been appointed for a hearing before Mayor Swar.n yesterday, at Ifi o'clock, noon, on the complaint of Mr. Thomas.

-Accordingly Mr. Thomas, and a number of wit-rreeses to the transaction, were duly on hand at the mayor's office at the hour named, where they found the present acting mayor, Wm. McPhail, president of the second branch of the city council. Through that gentleman and Mr. Wm.

Thompson, the secretary of Mayor Swann, it then transpired that, in consequence of the latter gentleman having been taken sick on Saturday last, and having been unable only to inform the acting mayor of the specific appointment of twelve o'clock, there had been some hearing of witnesses in the usual course of procedure, at an earlier hour in the morning, on the part of officer Edwards, as well as Sergeant Bartholow, who was charged with neglect of duty on election day at the same poll, and no parties or witnesses appearing to sustain the charges against them, they had been ordered to be reinstated In the positions from which they had been temporarily suspended. The acting mayor, howetfet on the appearanceand application of Mr. Thomas, on due explanation, readily assented to give bin and his witnesses a hearing then or at a subsequent time. But, on reflection, Mr. Thomas preferred, in view of all the circumstances and the fact that he had first opened his case with Mayer Swann himself, that the investigation should be deferred until that gentleman was sufficiently restored to give it his personal attention.

This was assented to, and with the undevstanding that he would be notified by the Mayor when able to take up the case, Mr. Thomas and his witnesses left the office. The Harper's Ferry Insurrection. TheHaiper'4 Ferry insurrection was the all-absorbing topic la the city yesterday, and hundreds of persons ceased business operations to be on hand to hear of every thing that transpired. From morning until night the crowd about theflfcorner of South and Baltimore streets was se dense that a passage through it was almost impossible.

Though the news was issued in extras as fast as it was received from the scene of conflict, the most axagger- atd statements went abroad through the city without any kind of authority. With the return of the military the excitement subsided, though, every one who was suspected to have any knowledge of the affair was surrounded by an eager crowd Everywhere during the day nothing else seemed to be talked of or thought of. Robbed of his Watch. On Tuesday night offi cer Suter arrested a female, who gave her name as Minnie Welch, on the charge of being accessory to robbing Casper Weaver of a silver watch valued at .10. Weaver stopped in the neighborhood and asked the accused the way to the market, which she told him, and as he started off she threw a brick at him.

A man who was with the woman at the time ran up behind Weaver and catching him by the arms, pushed him a short distance rather roughly, remarked that it was all right, let him go and ran off. The woman Welch was arrested and committed to jail by Justice McAllister on the charge above stated. Last nlgnt officers Talbott and Riley arrested John Devalin, on the charge of being the party who stole the watch of Weaver. He was held foe a hearing. Postoffice Matters.

There were but six persons present, when a call was made for the reading of the proceedings of the last meeting, when there was some consultation about an adjournment and postponing any action until the next monthly meeting, on the third Tuesday in November. The president thought it was not worth while te read a resolution in the preceding meeting, and there was an informal adjournment. Severe Accident. A severe and painful accident occurred to James Morgan, an employee at the Cuba Mining and Smelting Company's estab lishment at Locust Point, on Monday afternoon.

The Ontbreak Snrpressed--Rcturn ol the Troops--Various Scenes and Incidents. The Sun, in its regular edition of yesterday-morning, contained full accounts of the insurrection at Harper's Ferry, up to the very latest moment of going to press, including tke arrivalal of the troops in the town, and. the first and defeat of the insurgents. It was Captain Alburtis, of Martinshurg, who fought gallantly in the Mexican war, that firsf drove the Insurgents into the house they made their final stand. lie had promptly gone te the scene of action on Monday, with volunteers from Martinsburg-, composed mostly of men in the service of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.

Mr. Evans Dorsey, a burden conductor of the Baltimore and Ohio road, who behaved so gallantly in the strike a year ago, and was voted a gold, medal by the company, was seriously wounded in their first assault upon the insurgents. And Messrs. Bowman and Holbert, burden conductors, were also wounded. They were all of the Martinsburg volunteers.

Mr. Dorsey, it is supposed, cannot survive. The attack by the party led by Captain Alburtis was made at 3 o'clock on Monday afternoon, 17th, from the west end ef the armory yard. The assault was directed agaicst the paymaster's office, where the insurgents were posted. Seventeen of the prisoners held by them were released by the onslaught.

Alburtis. They attacked the rioters single-handed and fought most valiantly. One of the freight conductors, named Evan Dorsey, was shot in the abdomen, and two other conductors, named Bowman and Holbert, were alse seriously wouaded. Mr. Richardson was killed.

Ne damage has been done to the railroad or to the bridge, and little or none to the property in the town. The purpose of the insurrectionists seems to have been to hold the town until several thousand slaves could be collected, and then make a stampede through Maryland' and across the Pensylvania line. The parties that have started will be immediately pursued. The Second Battle. Harper's Ferry, 3 A.

Oct. IS. The troops Invested the town on all sides, and entered, it about 2 o'clock this morning. Several men were killed, a number of both blacks and whites were captured, but more escaped to the mountains. Capt.

He says the whole scheme was erot id bv Captain Brown, who represented that the nesrroes would rise by thousands, and Maryland and Virginia would be made free States.

Captain Brown had been about here and rented a farm four miles off, which was the rendevous or tne rioters, uaptain cook nas also lived in tne vicinity, and at one time taught school here.

All the other white men are unknown, but are supposed to be men who have been connected with Captain Brown in Kansas. It is reported, but not certain, that the rioters have carried off a considerable amount of government funds. No attempt was made to pillage the town or to insuix iemaxes.

At five o'clock the whistle of the extra military train signaled her coming, and ill a moment there was a rush of the excited throng-, and the train was saluted at the entrance of the depot by cheering and waving of hats from the sidewalk, and the handkerchiefs of the ladies from the windows of the dwellings in sight. The train passed Into the the companies were disembarked, and formed in line on the platform, headed by martial music.

The soldiers looked dusty and haggard, and bore good evidence of having undergone great fatigue. They got under way in a few minutes, and moved up Howard street and down Baltimore street, the band playing lively airs. Thousands of persons thronged the pavements, and every face wore an expression of welcome and gladness. As they reached the vicinity of their armories the companies filed off, and soon all were welcomed safe to their homes and firesides once more. Population of the Disturbed District.

The district of country intended to be effected by the outbreak contains a large slave population.

The Ringleaders of the Insurgents. FEARFUL RETRIBUTION. Harper's Ferrr, Oct. 18. The ringleaders of the insurgents have met a fearful retribution.

Out of the 23 of whom their party originally consisted, fifteen are now dead and three mortally wounded. Two unhurt, but made prisoners, and three have gone off with a large body of slaves towards the Pennsylvania line. TThey were this morning early seen on the Maryland shore, and the military are in pursuit. Another rioter, named Lewis Leary, has died. Before breathing his last he confessed the particulars of the plot.

He said it was concocted by Brown at the fair held in Ohio two months ago. The town is full of military, and arrived men are continually arriving from every part of the surrounding country. Special Dispatch tohe Baltimore Sail. The Government Money Safe. Harper's Ferry, Oct 18.

Washington. October IS. The President and Secretary of War were together for several hours to-day deliberating on matters connected with the proceedings at Harper's Ferry, the result of which conference was the sending of the United States District Attorney Ould thither to superintend the legal proceedings in the premises. The excitement which existed last night in Washington and neighborhood has subsided. It is said that the affair at narper-s erry is tne first case of the kind which has occurred in this country involving at the same time both State and Federal jurisdiction.

While the State is effected as to slavery and locality, the general government is interested with regard to puunc property, ik uaviu cAtiuei control over the arsenal grounds, independently of the State; also with regard to the mails.

A number of the officers and directors of the Central Pennsylvania Railroad had been on an excursion, accompanied by their families, and fot down within a short distance of Harper's erry on Monday, when the train was ordered to The condition of affairs was made known to the conductor, and immediately the train was backed to Martinsburg. A young man of the excursion party, anxious to witness what was going on, left the train and went on a hill for the purpose of obtaining a full view.

He was there but a short lime when he was espied and arrested. He protested that he did not belong to the insurgent gang, but that did not effect his release, and he was marched to Charlestown and imprisoned. His friends interceded and he was finally released. John Hulme, Esq one of the directors and excursionists, states that on the return of the train to Martinsburg the people at once began to arm, and every available weapon was brought into requisition. Old shot guns and rifles, pistols and swords, were put in order, and after obtaining a supply of ammunition, they started for the scene of insurrection.

Yesterday the excursionists stopped at Harper's Ferry and went over the ground. A few loop holes had been made by the insurgents 'in the engine house, where they had fortified themselves. A few dead bodies were lying about the place, and the a ppearance of those of the slain insurgents presented more of the bandit than anything else. He noticed one dead body lying on a rock in the river, which it was supposed had been pierced by at least forty or fifty bullets. The following were the directors on the train, and who were detained: Washington Butcher.

CAPT. BILL COOKE. This man is represented to be a most notorious and blood-thirsty individual. Possessing alarge amount of brute courage, he is reckless of his conduct, and hesitates not to shoot an adversary. Some time ago he got into a difficulty in the neighborhood of Harper's Ferry with one of the railroad employees.

The man was very close to Cook and when the latter drew his revolver seized it and turned the muzzle from its aim. Cook discharged it, however, and the charge Eassed through the clothing of the right side of irn whom he sought to kill. Before he had time to fire the weapon again he was felled to the ground by a well-directed blow with a slung shot, from the effect of which he laid insensible for more than two hours. That, however.did not deter him from further acts of outrage. His nativity is not known.

He is said to be a man of fair education, but is regarded by all who know him as a designing, and dangerous man. Cooke married several years ago in the neighborhood of Harper's Ferry, but it is said that he left on Mon day afternoon with his family, but what direction he took could not be ascertained. THE CONSPIRACY THE LETTER TO THE SECRETARY OF WAR. The anonymous letter heretofore spoken of as having been received bv Gov. Floyd, the Secretary of War, reached him while at Old Point, lately.

It stated that insurrections would occur simultaneously at Wheeling, Harper's Ferry and Washington, for the purpose of freeing slaves. It is understood that about 400 slaves have lately escaped from Virginia and Maryland under the agency of the emissaries. The people of tho adjacent country in Maryland and Virginia will be on the look ont for these runaways before reaching Pennsylvania. Gov. Wise, of Virginia, who in going up to the scene of riot, yesterday morning, had set on foot the measure (which it subsequently became unnecessary to carry out) for sending cavalry from this city to pursue and hunt the fleeing insurgents through any portion of Virginia, had also by telegraph requested the President of the United States to authorize the cavalry to follow them into any State or locality, they having stolen the property and treasure of the government, and placed its stolen arms in the hands of negroes and others.

J. W. Garrett, president: Am on my return from Harper's Ferry. Gen. Stewart, whom I met near the Ferry, asks me to say in his name, that no more troops of any description need come up, as their work is over, except what the U.

S. marines may have to do in maintaining guard over the armory and the bridge. Gov. Wise and the Richmond aiid Alexandria volunteers have reached Harper's Ferry. The trains are all safe, and will at once resume their ordinary regularity.

We have returned the Frederick volunteers to that place; the Shepherdstown Guard, Col. Boteler, went home cn the mail west, getting off at Kerneysville. The entire Baltimore military, except the Independent GraySj are on the train with me. None of thtm are injured We will reach Baltimore about five o'clock. The company's men have all behaved with bravery and energy.

Had those from Martinsburg been properly seconded yesterday it is thought the marines would not have found a victory awaiting them to-day. None of the railroad property in track, bridge, trains or other description has been injured, so far as I can learn, nor was the life of any passenger unduly risked. The engines and cars have proved fully adequate to the extraordinary demand upon us, during which we have transported, besides regular passengers, fully five hundred troops and one hundred irregular volunteers, with cannon and equipments.

interesting statement by an eye-witness A gentleman who returned from the seen? In the 6.30 train, describes the storming of the bridge and town. The first attack was made by a de tachment of the Charlestown (Va.) Guards. They crossed the Potomac river above Harper's Ferry, and reached the building where the insurgents were posted, by the canal, on the Maryland side. A smart firing occurred, and the rioters were driven from the bridge. One man was killed here and another arrested.

A man ran out of the building and tried to escape by swimming the river. A dozen shots were fired after hm, and he partially fell, but rose again, threw his gun away and drew his pistols. Beth snapped, and he drew a bowie knife, cut his heavy accoutrements off, and plunged into the river. One of the soldiers was about ten feet behind, the man turned round, threw up his haEds, and said "don't shoot." The soldier fired and the man fell into the water with his face blcwn away. His coat skirts were cut from bis person, and in the pockets was found a Gap-tains commission to Captain E.

H. Leeman, from the Provisional Government. The commission was dated October 15, 1350, and signed by A- Brown, Commander in Chief of the Army of the Provincial Government of the United States. A party of five of the insurgents armed with Minnie rifles, and posted in the rifle expelled by the Charlestown Guards. They all ran for the river, and one who was unable to swim, was drowned.

The other four swam out to the rocks in the middle of the Shanandoah and fired upon the citizens and troops upon both banks. This drew upon them the muskets of be tween 200 and 300 men, and not less than 400 shots wore fired at them from Harper's Ferry, about 200 yards distant. One was finally shot dead. The second, a negro, attempted to jump over the dam, but fell shot, and was not seen afterwards. 'The third was badly wounded, and the remaining one was taken unharmed.

The white insurgent wounded and captured, died in a few moments after in the arms of our He was shot through the breast, arm and stomach. He declared there were only nineteen whites engaged in the insurrection. For nearly an hour a running and random firing was kept up by the troops against the rioters. Several were shot down, and many managed to limp away wounded. During the "firing the women and children ran shrieking in every direction bnt when they learned that the soldiers were their protectors they took courage, and did good service in the way of preparing refreshments and attending the wounded.

Our informant, who was on the hill when the firing was going on, says all the terrible scenes of a battle passed in reality beneath his eyes. Soldiers could be seen pursuing singly and in couples, and the crack of the musket and rifle was generally followed by ene or more of the insurgents biting the dust. The dead lay in the streets where they fell. The wounded were cared for. MOSE OP THE BLOODY WORK.

Samuel K. Thomas, one of the conductors of the railroad, and engaged in the storming at the paymaster's office, displayed unparalelled feats. He stood within fifty feet of the building, exposed to the fire of those within, and loaded and fired nearly half a dozen times. His coat was perforated with 'balls, and the skin cut from the flesh of his person by the shot. His preservation from instant deaxn seems miraculous.

Aaron D. Stevens, a captain of the rioters, shot at tne bridge, was taken into tne Carroll Hotel, where his dreadful wounds were dressed by Dr. McGarrity. Heavy bullets passed through his breast, head and one arm He said to those aroifnd him that as he expected to die before mornins. he wanted somebody to telegraph to his father, at Norwich.

George Turner, a graduate of West Point, and one of the most distinguished citizens of the vicinity, was shot on Monday while coming into town.

Harter's Ferry, Oct.

13. The town of Harper's Ferry was thronged last night with military and rioters, and martial law prevailed throughout the entire community. No one could pass the bridge without arrest, unless permitted by Col. Shriver, commanding the Frederick military. The precaution was taken to prevent the possibility of the escape of any of me aisiuroers oi tne peace or tne town.

Nearly the first object visible after passing the bridge was a dead negro lying outside the pavement with an ugly gash in his throat, and other wounds. No one seemed to notice him particularly, more than any other dead animal. The citizens have not yet recovered, from their astonishment at the civil war which has so saddenlv been engendered in their peaceful community nor their surprise at the boldness and absurdity which characterizes the efforts of the conspirators who have so mysteriously alighted, full their midst. The insurgents are caged, however, after their work of violence and death, and the people with great anxiety awaited the results of the events of to-day. At about 5 o'clock yesterday morning the mili tary companies, a part of which had been on duty I 11 1 at guard during me iiigut, were uruereu out.

The volunteers took possession of the streets sr- rounding the government buildings, and cleared them of spectators. The marines were drawn up witnin tne enclosure, tinder tne command oi uoi.

The insurgents were in the engine room of the armory, a small buildine at the extreme ena of the government works.

They held as their prisoners some nan dozen citizens or weaim ana respectability, and some nait dozen negroes. One of the Baltimore companies, (the Independent Gravs. Lieut. Simpson commanding.) occu pied the railroad bridge, directly in front of the occupied buildings. The military companies of the adjoining towns and the Baltimore companies presented an imposing military display.

The scene was exciting in the extreme. The most breathless suspense existed for the half hour which preceded trie at tack. Death was anticipated, and the reckless daring of the few bold and foolish fanatics who set at defiance the authority of the general gov- ernment and the whole military force in their view, created an intense indignation and a desire for their summary chastisement. The appre hensions for the safety of the gentlemen detained in the custody of the insurgents were also painful The marines in the yard commenced manceuver ing towards a close proximity to the building. At length Col.

Lee rppeared in front of the enclosure witn Jjieut. Mewart, a citizen, was deputed to bear a flag of truce to the insurgents Every eye was upon the two latter as they ap-approached the door of the building. The con ference was long, especially between the insur gents and the citizen, and the patience of all present was nearly At length they retired. It was understood that Col Lee.

He had had a son killed in Kansas (as well as two here.) He hated slavery, and he desired to avenge his son's death. His confederates desired to surrender when they were summoned bv Colonel Lee; but he refused because he did not believe tliat the general government would slaughter his companiens for the sake of killing him. He had always treated his prisoners with courtesy. He hoped that his interrogators would not put words in his mouth, but permit i i i i iiiui io make xiis own declarations, xie noped Major Russell would permit him to die in peace.

and would treat him humanely. Major Russell suggested mat ne nad better not make any declarations calculated to compromise him in law, and also requested the gentlemen present to withdraw from the room in order that he might not be disturbed. It has been stated -subsequently that his wounds are not mortal, unfortunately periia lornimseu. The prisoner Edwin Coppee, upon being asked what he expected would be his fate, said that he only asked his country to give him a fair trial and he would abide the consequences. He manifested no concern or apprehension with respect to his punishment.

The prisoner Brown, son of the leader, was too debilitated from his wounds to realize his situation. The wounded have been removed to the hospi tal of the arsenal, including the rjoter A. D. Stevens. Such was the excitement on Monday night that Stevens would have been shot in his bed.

had it not been for the restraint exercised by others upon those who permitted their passions to become ungovernable. The wretched man stated his willingness to go out in the morning and be shot upon his coffin, but begged them not to shoot him in his bed. He is reported to be mortally wounded; but it is thought by some that his four wounds are not fatal.

Loud calls of order arrested their impulses. When the prisoners came out there were vociferous cries of "hang them" constantly repeated The companies and citizens were afterwards admitted to the government grounds. and all had an opportunity to view the corpses of the deluded fanatics who had so foolishly forfeited their lives.

The iaces oi an tne victims, it was a suoiect ot general remark, exhibited peculiar characteristics. The public authorities have made arrangements for their burial. The marine corps remain at Harper's Ferrv with their prisoners in custody, awaiting the in structions or tne general government as to their present disposition and trial. The Independent Grays, under the orders of General Egerton, were dispatched about 10 o'clk in search of the wagons which were seen to leave Harper's Ferry under the conduct of the insurgents, a day or two since, and also to capture any members of the organization who might be found located at near points. About twelve o'clock the loud cheering of the crowd announced the return of the Grays with two wagon loads of the national arms which they had found secreted in the recesses of the hills.

While they were unloading the arms at the armory, the train with the remainder of the Baltimore and Frederick treops was compelled to leave, and they remained behind. me urays will probably return to Baltimore this morning. Among the arms captured was a large number of Sharp's rifles, which were sent to the insurgents at Chambersburg, by the Massachusetts Emigration Aid Society which were considered by many the soldiers lawful prizes. Among the arms found in possessson of the insurgents were also found a large number of roughly made pikes, evidently not the manufacture of the Government; This negro weapon was also appropriated as a by many visi tors to the scene of action.

Keys, Secretary War. There was taken from the person of Stevens a printed pamphlet of twenty-five pages, contain ing the constitution, of Mr. Brown's provis lonal government. The work is in the posses sion of Col. Lee, and would be treasonable were it not too ridiculous.

This extraordinary movement at Harper's Ferry on the part of the abolittonist Brown, character ized by such audacity and folly, is fertile of comment. It appears that he was a monomaniac, possessing a strong will, superior firmness and resources of mind, and that his followers possessed a weakness of mind and character which enabled him to obtain that ascendency over them which red tnem to their destruction.
