After memorable victories, tho liaud of tho conqueror at Villuframuk more restricted territorial limits Ausli'iau domiuaiiou iu the ltaliau i'cninsula; but um 4etlultlve regulation of the affairs of Ceutral Inly wan destined to remain In suspense, since, In bigniug the pro. fcmlnarles or peace, it was not posslblo to forcsuo the Iu mirmounUblc obstacles whhh would bo raided by tlio populations to the return of th priuoes.

His Majesty, on tita part, ordered tho recall of Uui authorities whom ho Imd sent to Tuscany, Modena and I'urnm. Hy that measure the populations repaired anew tho free dis, sisal of themselves, and at tho same time removed from all foreigu lutluence. The honorable men who tho absence of any authority had tafcen In hand tho direction or public considered that under such circumstances It wits their duty to appeai the papulations by means of tlic of national assemblies. What Is well known? the Assembles unanimously oonllrmed tho depo attion of tho old governments, and proclaimed annexation In considering what hu taken place at Floronoo, Modona and Parma, wo are struck by the acoord and spotila aelty which marked al the deliberations of the constituted bodies, au.l tho orier which has constantly prevailed durlr.g the unforeseen crisis which had to be traversed. Hils order and regularity are easily explained whon we that it was ntt tho advanced parties, nor men or soured by greviaiioen and unjust porsoual who place tfiemselves at the heail of tho movement.

These resolttlons were not the efleot of unreSUt tog excitement; ttey were maturely weighed, and were adopted on oonsMerations of a superior and "breaking for ovir the bonds which connected thom with an odious past caculated to give rise to the bitterest the of tho I ejiHCially anxious to diake off tho yoke of foreigu domi nation to escape from Austrian influence, and contri bute by their union uader the socptro oT tho King august sovereign, to Ue coustituiou or a kingdom enough to establish Hit prosperity and repine of Italy ou sound and durublo hues. These populations, Impelled by tho evil counsels or des pair, and bewildered by their inexperience in tho mt'iagement of public affairs, might have turned in a thought moment to chimerical and dangmous projec.te. They have been le.t astray by subversive tc-udencks to demolish tho monarchic! principle, an.1 substitute rop.iblieanism in its stead. They might have thought themselves entitled to do that; but they have uot even attempted It; Central Italy luul by hof cou'hwt, equally aa wise, a formal contradiction to the accusations too llfihtly brorght against tho fickleness of the ItalluH, and their Inability to found a gooil government.

Sucii an acottsa tion, which his hitherto beeu only an injustice, will be fcrncefortb ft (jocular traditions and long established hablw might iiggen and encourage the desire of preserving their autouomyiu States which had hitherto lived ait independent life from the rest of the natiou. No; they renounced these very national leanings and a justifiable histori Sride to be blended In the common life. Tus vuiy wii" rat to set example; the part of Italy which Son to be proud of Ha pmi hot hesitate hll? bi itilv a monarchy wblih had lu imnmiii, with public liberties. 88 wel' and Parma, has Joined this pwnarchy unc and without reserve. It would be Impossible to llnd signal proof of the irresistible pewor ol the seutihtve learned by long that Italy will free from nrnMurp lior its rcftl Hlld ll8tiQ((, in it north of Italy a State large and powerful enough to "l'Poae preponderance of external It is not at the moment while peace Is being negotiated at Zurich by the plenipotentiaries of Piedmont, France and Austria that the King's government would use less correct kinifuac'e towards the adversary he has combatted on the battle Held.

But there are which cannot be dissembled, because they are self-evident: there are dancers on which it is impossible to indulge Illusions, because they exist in tbe nature of things, and are an Inevitable necessity of the situation. If the war which has just flnisbod had had for result the complete cessation of Austrian nomination in the Italian Peninsula, the considerations which we are about to do ketone would uot be less well founded, but they would bo Vss powerful on minds prejudiced in favor or the old governments of the Duchies. In the presont state or things Sere is no one (Monsieur le Ministre) wbocanrefose to admit that if the power of Austria in Italy has become more limited in extent, it has lost nothing in offinsiveness and encroaching force She retains the strong fortresses of VeB'Ua, and, what is more, Pesohiera and Mantua, which belong to Lombardy, and form her natural defence. That province is dismantled and exposed to a coup "wtri. The King's government do uot intend to throw any doubt on the sincerity of the Intentions of Austria in the settlement of the stipulated cessions, but clrcumstanoes bailee and interests remain; opportunities sometimes encourage, oud political regrets are an inheritance which descend from generation to generation.

Tito last war eould not raise a barrier between tbe States of the King or Rardiniaaud bis formidable neighbor; Italy neither guaranteed nor secured for the future, for there la no Solut or equilibrium between the orgau.sed national forces and Austria entrenched behind the bulwarks or the Minoio and tin- Adige If the peace ot Villafranca does not re veils complement, by respecting tho wishes or the po tiulalious delivered by the war, it will not have re-esub Wished that ba'ance of jKiwers and that proportion ol relative forces which existed iu Italy in the last century and which the Congress of Vienna did not re-establish. Italy was then divided into several petty fetaiCB weak and without consistence, which could not Sm up military fores of any importauco or amtrlbutelothe defence of Italy. The states of the King er Sardinia formed tho sole exception. They were not, it Us true, very extensive, but the military education or the ticople, the skill and firmness of tho princes and the ad vantages or the geographical situation oi tho country, placed Pk'dmont among the Powers of second order, and eauscd her to bo considered as the natural defender of only the Duchies of Milan and Mantua, which wero detached and removed irom the body of her hereditary Stales. In time of peacj shokopt but a very few troops ir war broke out the distance and tho difficulties of transport gave te the houso Savoy time to prepare her means of defence.

Austria was then a powerful neighbor, but she was not a arrangement was not exempt from inconvenience but tho division sanctioned at laris and at "Vienna in 1814 and 1811, was infinitely more disastrous Italy in general, and for Piedmont In particular. The annexation of the States-that union of two imputations under a national government? was a benefit for which (he Congress of Vienna deserves thanks, but it was to no respect 'sufficient to counterbalance the enormous JUrLdSut of Austria in Italy. That Power uot only acquired a territorial extension twioe as Urge as the old ene but it united tho Italian provinces to the hereditary State. The republic of Venloe isolated, at the beginning mt the century, the Austrian possessions to Upper Italy; but the grant oi llie Venetian spoils to Austria entirely the relative power of the States from mont derived her force and Italy her security. Hair a experience authorizes the government or Sardiaia to repeat what it declared in 1814: "In the old division we saw the source ot the weakness of Upper Italy in the new one wo see her complete subjection.

A providential occasion now presents itself for reformBg an arranr ment which Is bo prejudicial, and which, we may sav without Tear or deceiving ourselves, la even to the wishes and the provisions of those who apnroved It Tuscany, Parma and Modena, united to the States of the King, would form a political agglomeration which, though Insufficient to resist the Power holding Venetia, would at least possess elements calculated to conjure the most pressing dangers. Will Europo oppose a territorial modification which 1s desired by an entire nation, and which is at the same tlmo In conformity with general kitercsts? And why should she do so? It will not be alleged, Monsieur le Mlnlstre, that the fnroDcon equilibrium would be compromised by tho union wf those provinces to Sardinia, nor that that union 1b calculated to give umbrage to the great Powers; such objec ttons cannot be admitted in a serious discussion, and it to not necessary to dwell on them. On tbe other hand, It would bo easy to Show that the formation orsuch a 8tato as Satindlcatedand the re establishment of Italian oqnilibrturo wouii remove for a long timo the permanent causes or rivalry between tho adjacent Powers, and would preserve the repose or Europe by strengthening 'aftor what has passed In the Duchies the at km oi the old dynasties may wtoral impossibility. Wo ask, how could these dynasties return to the States which they liavo abandoned, unless at the head of Austrian troops? But In afresh the system of Intervention and the government of States recognised as system broken up by tho late war, and which would Infallibly give rise to the same compllcaUons i as before. nasides ir the restoration were effected by these moans, how would tho Princes bo able to govern In accord with the country? The rallen sovereigns, after returning at the bead ol foreign troops, would llnd no support unless In Austrian bayonets.

A restoration effected under such auspices, the Immoderate uso of a power unsupported by nubile oplDlon, would havo as Its inevitable result the triumph of demagogic doctrines and revolutionary passions. Darkness and chaos would again spread ever ltaly. Europe has but too often been compelled to witness In this country the sad spectacle of a government apparently doing Its utmost to weaken In tho human conscience the respect for monarchical authority. Let Europe reflect and decide. It is with that object that tho King's government thinks It a duty to address the Oablnota.

Taking advantage of the rifhts conferred upon him by the general vote of tho emulations, his Majesty might havo aecepted. at least nro vision ally, the government of the States of Central Kklv But he has thought that If, as an Italian Prince, ho riecd only consult his conscience as a member or the EuroSSm ramtly, he had duties of another nature to fulfil. Is necessary that Europo shaold inter veno to solTe she difficulties of the situations. Tho acts which have taken fiLe in the Bomagna show that this necessity is now and that delay would be dangerous The conrtXrntions which prooede arc applicable In great part to provinces? but ff the collective authority of tho is to deliberate upon the changes i that have taken Id in the public law of the Duchies, there Is Ptlll more for tim to tun. their most serious attention to the SSw or the legations.

The first appearance this season of Madame duaulga, who has a merited and enduring hold upon the affections of the operatic public, combined with the performance of the "Pollute," in which Bha sang the rSU of Paulina for the flrfit time, attracted a full bouite to the Academy last evoning. It was a very flattering recognition of the claims of a truly excellent artist, this audience, which included the crime de la crime of metropolitan society; all the best known connoisseurs and opera were at their poais. The performance of Paulina by Mine. Gazzaniga was a very fine piece of lyric acting. She has evidently given the most thorough study te the rdle, and to all requirements was a rate au fait.

Her voice was hardly in its best condition, on account of a cold caused by the sudden and violent changes in the weather, wnich have nutdc catarrhs epidemic just at this moment Notwithstanding drawback, Madame Gazzaniga sang exceedingly well, giving the music the fervent, pure and chute tone which it demands. Kho was exceedingly fine in the noble finale of the second act, and the favorite duet lart. Without instituting particular between Madame and her predecessors in this opera, we ctn st'll cay, in ti' justice, that she gives to the roic a full, equal Perfect devetopement, and that it will ralik pmong the beet In her repertory. She received all toe honors, floral and otherwise, of a veritablo success. Pollute is ooe Brignoll's best efforts, and he surpassed himself last night.

He has before snng so well as Id of the act. A little rest, which he has enjoyed lately, has improved the quality of his voice. While the pure Italian method of this artist finds a foil scope for display iu such music as that of Poliuto, he makes the best use of his opportunity. Amodio has recovered his voice, but must slug more carefully. The orchestra, under Muzio, was excellent as usual, but the brass band was, to nee a mild term, execrable.

To-night, the debut of Speranza, in the is announced. LAURA KEENK'S THEATRE. Forgetting the antiquated notion that tho drama should carry out-its ostensible purpose of daguerreotyping scenes In real life; remembering that it is no easy task to moke 1 Mr. Tom. Taylor's play of Election," written for Mr.

Matthews, the Haymarket and an English audience, adaptable to lAura Keene's theatre and American tastes, and looking upon the production at this theatre last evening as designed to please the audience temporarily, it may be termed a success. The plot is Blonder. Mr. Dodgson, an attorney of limited practice (Mr. Jordan), meets his first client in Mr.

Wapshott (Mr. Daly), who wants to marry thu daughter (Miss Annie Doland) of a retired grocer (Mr. Mark Smith). Mr. Honeybun, the said grocer, is exceedingly meek, sleepy, fond of quiet and respectablo seclusion.

Ilia wife (Miss Keene) is strong-minded, wants to get Into Washington society and shine. Mr. Dodgson is applied to by several muscular gcLtlemen to find a ready money candidate for Congress, and contrives a plan to get Mr. Honeybun elected, secure the influence of the wife to aid tho young couple, and pocket a round fee for himself. The fun consists in Mr.

Honeybun's extreme nervousness and antipathy to noise and confusion, considerable of which ensue in the canvass; also in Mr. Hodgson's negotiations with the free and independent electors, of whom Mr. Peckover (Peters), President of the Well Awakes, and Topper, Chairman of the Night (Mr. C. Whoatlelgh), are excellent representatives of the genus "striker." The managing of Mr.

Honeybun to try and avoid election, and at the same time the importunities of his wife, the managing of Mrs. Honeybun to secure the electlou and her "sphere," tho managing of tho electors for the "ready," the lovers for their match and the attorney for his fee, and the by play and epilogue, afford scope for considerable fun and a number of local nits. With the Blight discrepancies that parties are represented as at a loss for candidates, that the nominee Is supposed to desire defeat; tliat the strikers limit their demands te the astonishly low pricc of twenty dollars a head that the entire election to Oongress is to cost the successful man but two thousand dollars? as cheap as dirt; that a briefless lawyer is permitted to namo the candidate, and, luBtead of paying for tho privilege (which every nominating convention knows is valuable), is actually himself paid; and that a shoulder-hitter refrains from bitting bis roan when bo is down the piece will pass in the crowd that challenge criticism in theso progressive days. We still think, however, that there is room for a good play based on the idiosyncracios of American politics. WWTEK GARDEN.

The latest novelty hero is a farce by Mr. Oxenford, p'ayed In England under the title of "Retained for the Defence." The play has been somewhat altered tosuit this meridian, and has been rechristened "State versus Pnwkius." The plot turns upon tho single incident, not quite new, of a philanthropic old gentleman who, In visiting a court of justice, had his feelings so far worked upon by the eloquence of the prisoner's counsel as to invite tho injured one to his house. An accidental meeting at house of the philanthropist between the counsel and his former client fornishes the opportunity for some clevcrly arranged situations. The piece is pleasant, but not very forcible. It was very well acted by Messrs.

JefferBon, Davenport and Holland. Tho piece will be playod to night, with "Dot," which bns been revived. The othor theatres? Wallack's, Nlblo's and the Theatre Krancais are doing very well without Bpecial novelties. Nlblo's is crowded to excess every night by the admirers of Mr. uud Mrs.

Ttiey proceeded in tho morning to Conrad's park, whero the day was spent in tar set practice, though no prizes wore contended for. They returned to the city about four o'clock, when thoy were received by the Tuloott Guard, Captain Hopper another one of our Independent uniformed companies wlw tendered them an escort. Bath companies then proceeded to the Park, where they were reviewed by Mayor Tie mann and several members of the Graitnon Council The review was very croditablo to both companies, im i i showod that they wore woll drillod and under efficient I officers. After the review they procoedod up Broadway around Union square, down the Bowery to Grand street' through Grand street to Broadway, and thence to the Apollo Rooms, where a bountiful collation was in waiting.

Among them is a roll of tho conspirators, containing forty-seven signatures; also a reoeipt from Boraco Greeley for letters, re ceivcd from Brown, and an accurately traced map from Chambersburg to Browu's bouse copies of letters from Brown, stating that as tbe arrival of too many men at once would excite suspicion, they should arrive singly; a letter from Merriam, stating that of the twenty thousand wanted, G. 8.

was good for one-fifth; also a letter from J. E. Cook, stating that as tho Maryland election was about to come off, the people will become excited, and we will get some of the candidates thai will join our side. The Circuit Court, Judge Parker presiding, met at ten o'clock. 1 he Graud Jury were called, and retire! to resume the examination of witnesses.

Tbe Court took a recess, awaiting the return ef tbe Grand Jury. Mr. Johnson, United States Marshal, of Cleveland, Ohio, arrived this morning. He visited the prisoners, and identified Copland as a fugitive from justice In Ohio. His object is supposed be to ferret out testimony implicating the other parties.

Tbe excitement is unabated, and crowds of persons from the surrounding country arc here. Tho event is regarded as proving the faithfulness of tbe slaves, and no foars are entertained of them, bnt a military guard is kept up, fearing an attempt to rescue tbe prisoners. Consternation among the slaves is caused by tbe fear of being seised like those of Col. Washington's wore, and they (irmly believe the object of the prisoners was to carry them South and sell them. Not a single slave has yet been implicated as even sympathizing with tbe Those carried o(T have all been captured and returned to their masters.

Cannon are stationed in front of the Court House, and an med guard is patrolling around tbe jail. Captain Brown has consented to allow Messrs. Faulkner and Botts to act as his counsel, they assuring him tha tlicy will defend him faithfully, and give him tbe advantage of every privilege that the law will allow. Stevens declares that he does not desire to be defonded by Northern counsel, preferring Southern, and that the Court should name them. There Is a decided sympathy for Stevens, not only on account of his sufferings, but that he lius shown none of that vlndictiveness and hardihood that characterise Brown.

His regret is regarded as caused by the consequences of his folly, and the examination tsterday indicated that the other prisoners have lost their confidence in Brown, and are not disposed to follow him in his defiant course. At twelve o'clock tbe Court reassembled. Tbe Grand Jury reported a true bill against the prisoners, and were discharged. Charles B. Harding, assisted by Andrew Hunter, represents the commonwealth, and Char.es J.

Faulkner aud Bo Us are counsel for the prisoners. A true bill was read against each prisoner: First. For conspiring with negroes to produce insurrection. Second. For treason to the common wealth and, Third.

For murder. Tbe prisoners were brought into court accompanied by a body of armed men. They passed through the street and entered the Court Houso without the slightest demon stration on the part of tho people. Brown looked somewhat better, and his eye was not ao much swollen. Stevens bad to be supported, and roclined on a mattress on the floor of the court room, evidently unable to sit.

He has the appearance of a dying man, i breathing with great dilltculty. Before the reading of the arraignment Mr. Hc.tteh called tho attention of the Court to the necessity of op- 1 pointing additional counsel for tbe prisoners, staling that one of tbe counsel (Faulkner) appointed by the County Court considering his duty in that capacity as having ended bad left. The prisoners, therefore, had no other counsol than Mr. Botts.

If the Court was about ts assign them other counsel it might be proper to do bo now. Tho Covbt stated that it would assign them any mem bere of the bar they might select. After consulting Captain Brown, Mr. Botts said that the prisoner retained him, and dosired to have Mr. Green, his assistant, to assist him.

If the court would acoede to that arrangement, it would be very agreeable to him personally. The Count requested Mr. Green to act as counsel fbr the prisoners, and he consented to do so. Mr. Bxowm then arose, and I do not intond to detain tho court, but barely wish to say, as I have boon pro mised a fair trial, that I am not now In circumstances that enable me to attend a trial, owing to the state of my health.

I have a severe wound in the back, or rather in one kidney, which cnfoeblcs me very much. But I am doing well, and I only ask for a very short delay of my trial, and I think that I may be able to listen to it; and I merely ask this that, as the saying is, "tbe devil may have his no more. I wish to say furthor tha1 my hearing is impaired and rendered indistinct in consequence of wounds I have about my head. I cannot hoar distinctly al all; I could not boar what the Court has said this morning. I would be glad to hear what is said on my trial, and I am now doing better than I could expect to be under the circumstances.

A very short delay would be all I would nsk. I do not presume to ask more than a vory short delay, so that 1 may In some degree recover, aud bo able at least to listen to my trial, and hear what questions arc arkod of the citizens and what their answors aro. If that could bo allowed mo, I should be very much obliged. Mr. said tho request was rather premature.

The arraignment could be made, and this question could then be considered. The Court ordered the. Indictment to be read, so that the prisoners could plead guilty or not guilty, and would then oonsider Mr. Brown's request Tbe prisoners were compelled to stand during thear- I raignment, Stevens being held upright by two Crayon" was present and took sketches of tbe prisoners as thus arraigned. The reading of the indictment occupied about twenty minutes.

Each of tho prisoners responded to the question "Not guilty," and desired to be tried Mr. Hi'xtkr State elects to try John Browu first Mr. Bonn I am instructed by Brown to say that be is mentally and physically unable to proceed with hta trial at this time. He hm beard to day tlint of his owu choice will be lie re, whom he will, oi prefer. only for a delay of two or three It ma bat a reasonable reqoert, tod 1 bope the Abort win grant It Mr.

Bald be dtd not think it the duty of the prosecutor for the common wualth, or for ene occupying that position, to oppose any thing that juaUoe required, nor to object to anything that Involved a simple consideration of humanity, where it could be properly allowed. Tet in regard 10 this reposition to delay the trial of John Brown two or three day they deemed it their duty that the Court, before determining mailers, should be put in poa- session of facte and clrcumstanoea judicially; that they were aware of the lino of their duties as prosecutors. Bis own opinion was, that it was not proper to delay the trial of this prisoner a single day, and that there was no necessity for It. He alluded in general terms to the condition of things with which they were surrounded. They were such as ran dered it dangerous to delay, to say nothing of the exceed log pressure upon the physical resources of the commit nity, growing out of the circumstances connected with affairs for which the prisoners were to be trial.

Our law In making special provisions for allowing, in the discretion of the Court, briefer time than usual in casu of conviction for snch offenders, between the condemnation and execution, evidently indioates indirectly the necessity for acting promptly anil decisively, though always Justly, In proceedings of this kind. In reference to the physical condition of Brown, he asked the Court not to receive the unimportant statements of the prisoner? as sufficient ground for delay, but that the Jailor and physicians be examined. As to expecting counsel from abroad, be said that no impediment had been thrown in the way of the prisoners procuring such counsel as they desired; but, on the contrary, every facility bad been afforded able and intelligent counsol had been assigned them here, and he apprehended there was little reason to expect the attendance of those gen tlemen from tke North who had been written to. Thorn was also a public duty resting upon them to avoid as far as possible within tbo forms of law, and with reference to the great and never to be loot sigh', of giving of a tair and impartial trial to the prisoners, the introduction of anything likely to weaken our present position and give strength to our enemies abroad whether it issues the jui in time, or whether it comes from the mouths ol the prisoners or any other source. It was their position that had been Imperilled and jeopardised, as they supposed, by enemies.

Mr. JTardino concurred in the objection of Mr. Hunter, on the ground of danger in delay, and also because Brown was the leader of the insurrection, and his trial ought to be proceeded with on account of the advantage thereby accruing in the trial of the others. Mr. tiRCBN remarked that he had had no opportunity of wi-h tho prisoner or preparing a defencc.

The letters for Northern counsel naa twen sent off, bat not sufficient time had been aOorded to receive answers. Under the circumstances he thought a short delay desirable. Mr. Bom added that at prosen' the excitement was so great as perhaps to deter Northern counsel from coming out; but now that it has been promised that tho prisoners should have a fair and impartial trial, he presumed that they would come and take part in the ease. The Corn stated that if physical inability were shown a reasonable delay must be granted.

As to the expectation of other counsel, that did not constitute a sufficient cause for delay as thero was no certainty about their ooming. Under the circumstances in whieh the prisoners were situated, It was natural that they should seek delay. The brief period remaining before the close of the term of tho court, rendered it necessary to procccd as expeditiously as practicable, and to be cautious about granting delays. He would the physician who bad attended Brown to testify as to his condition. Dr.

Captain Cook was arrested yesterday afternoon by Messrs. Daniel Logan and Claggett Fltzhugb, at Montolto, Franklin county, fourteen miles from this place. His printed commission, filled up and signed by Brown, and marked No. 4, was found on hu person, as was also a memorandum, written on parchment, of tho pistol presented to General Washington by Lafayette, and bequeathed to Lewis W. Washington in The pistol, be says, is in a carpet bag which he left on the mountain.

He came out of the mountain into the settlement to obtain provisions, and was much fagged down and almost starved. He wag brought to this, place at eight o'clock last night, and after an examination before Justice Retsher, and boing fully identified by one of our citizens, who formerly knew liim, was committed to jail, to await a requisition from Governor Wifce. He acknowledged having throe others with him on the mountains, one of whom was seen and conversed with, having a blue blanket over his shoulders, and carrying a Sharpc's rifle and a double barrelled gun. The former he said belonged to his partner, who had gone for provisions. Parties will go In search of the others to-day.

26, 1800. Tbo man arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the insurrection was brought before Judge Graham, on writ of habeas corpus to-day. Judge Watiq presented a warrant from the Governor of Pennsylvania, upon a requisition from tho Governor of Virginia, fbr the delivery of a fugitive, named Albert Haalett. There was no positive evidenoe to Identify the prisoner as the person named, but was proved that the pistols in his possession were of the same manufacture as were used by the insurgents, and his dress and appearance correspond with the description given by a person who had eeen Haslett at Harper's Ferry. The Judge appointed a further bearing on Saturday next, and issned subpoenas for witnesses from Virginia and elsewhere, and tho prisoner was remanded to the custody of the Sheriff.

REPORTED ATTEMPT TO RESCUE THE HARPER'S FERRY INSURRECTIONISTS. Biunon, Oct. 36, 1850. Considerable excitement wm caused at Frederick, this afternoon by a report that a large body of abolitionists bad crossed from Pennsylvania to Virginia, with the Intention of rescuing the Harper's Ferry insurrectionists. A military oompany left immediately, to assist in the do fenee of the Charlestown Jail.

The whole affair is believed to be a hoax. OUR CHARLESTON CORRESPONDENCE. Chahjhowk, Oct. 90, IM9. There Is groat excitement In town in oonsequenco of the trial to-day, and crowds of people arc Socking in from the surrounding country I am given to understand that Old Brown wil Insist upon a separate examination, a separate trial, nud, in fact, anything that can gain time and prolong hid life anil the lives of his men.

A stranger was arrested last night, about six miles from here, simply it appears, because he was a stranger. The authorities were soon satisfied that he had no connection with Urown's gang, but as he was In destitute cireum stances, the fellow was allowed to remain at tho jail under commitment. All communication with the prisoners, except by counsel, has been prohibited. OLD Oft.MO* OF TltS IlKHAtO. An interesting iiaragraph was.

THE ANONYMOUS LETTER TO SECRETARY PLOYD. The notorious Red path, in his letter published in the Boston Atlai, thus refers to the anonymous letter sent to Secretary Floyd It is supposed it would not be prudent to say why nor by whom that tho author of tbe anonymous letter to Secretary Floyd la a person of tbe nam.) of Bibb, a subordinate editor of the Cincinnati GaxtiU, sometimes (from his stature) known as Baby Babb.aud (from his mental characteristics) as Booby Babb. He WM in Kansas for several months, and is supposed to have heard of Old Brown's designs. he is guiltk-ra of the authorship of this letter it will do him no future 111 to give It a prompt and emphatic denial. Brown has tearless and desperate friends, who will? as surely as he dies the death of an unsuccessful hero revenge his untimely end on tbe authors it.

From the graves of Bar bo and the Browns, and from tbe bloody Valley of the Marios dea Cignee, a terrible spirit arose which tile South conjured up in Its "Insane attempts," but which it can never again allay, by the liberation of every slave from the Pan-handle of Virginia to the most southern lima of tbe Texan frontier. But this anonymous lelter.it is said, is not tho first intimation that "our efficient Executive" has received of tbe designs of the insurrectionists. I was informed that tbey were betrayed by on eminent military author mire than twelve months ago. 11 in name I cannot now recall. He was a wealthy Englishman, and resided in Italy in 1848, when tbe revolution under Gen.

Garibaldi broke out. He suddenly showed a marvellous genius for raising and drilling recruits. He published a manual for their use adapted for guerilla warfare which was reprinted by De Witt llavenport, of New York. He was the instructor, in military science, of Brown and his men. Domestic bereavements, I believe, added to alarming pecuniary losses, suddenly rendered him insane.

He went to Washington and betrayed the scheme. Brown and bis men were forced to ily to Canada. The excursions in Kansas which Brown subsequently made were intended to increase tbe belief of tho government that the exposure was the result of the wild imaginations of a madman.

Forbes Denounces Brown's Harper's Ferry Project in May, 1858, and Implores the Black Republicans to Stop It, dec.

There appeared in yesterday's Hnuui a card signed H. Forbes, which contained a menace that the writer, who was known to have been in connoction with Ossawatomio Brown, and to have been oognizantof ail hia would, after the trial at Charlestown, publish certain oorrespoadonee, which might prove damaging to many prominent black republican politicians. We will save Colonel Forbes the trouble of carrying his threat into execution or, at least, we will anticipate him eumenUat in that matter, as our very complete arrangements have brought the identical papers, or copies of them, into our hands. But first let us briefly state the manner in which Colonel Forbes oomes to bo mixed up in this matter. Tbe that was known of him in this country was when, I some ten years ago, he arrived here, after the breaking up of the great European revolution of 1818.

He is Scotchman by birth, wo believe, and has been a revolutionary soldier from inclination. He served for some years in the British army. Afterwards we Ami him prominently brought into notice by his connection with Garibaldi, in the defence of Rome. Then he carae to this country and was for a time a reporter or translator on the Tribune. A few years ago he established an AngloAmerican paper in this city, and was conducting it at tho time of his first introduction to Ossawatomie Brown.

This modern Roundhead had come North for the purpose of bringing back with him to Kansas a man of military genius and experience who would undertake to train the Kansas abolitionists in all the tactics pertaining to the guerilla branch of the profos. sion of arms. Forbes was just the man for the purpose. Guerilla fighting was bis forte, and he had tbe reputation besides of being somewhat of a genius in the art of wat. Be was an excellent fencer, and although that was of little account among the border ruffians an accomplished linguist.

Brown and Forbes were brought tn rapport by one of the reverend editors of the New York Independent Negotiations were entered on, and Forbes was secured to the cause of abolitionism. What the exact terms or the contract were we cannot say; but we gather from the correspondence In our hands that certain monthly remittances were to be sent to Forbes' family in Europe by those who had charge of tho funds in this region. Poor Forbes appears, however, to have realized the utter unreliability of these philanthropists, and his letters show that he soon found out that tho whole game was one of cheating. He appealed to Horace Greeley to have justice done him. Horace replied that Forbes had no legal claim upon him.

He put himself in correspondence with Seward, Wilson, Hale, Chase, Fletcher and other prominent abolitionists, and acquainted them fully with Brown's projects, pointing out how they must inevitably fail and bring dismay and destruction upon tbe anti-slavery cause. But Forbes found that, like Cassandra of old, his predictions wero laughed at and his entreaties sot at naught. So long ago as May, 1868, he appears to have had an interview with Wm. H. Seward in Washington, in which he went folly into the whole matter in all its bearings.

With these introductory remarks, which wero necessary for the foil understanding of the documents, we proceed to give the following correspondence betwoen Forbes and his abolitionist friends. The first letter is addressed to B. Sanborn, Oonoord, tho B. 8." from whom Brown acknowledged several remittances of money, and who is, or was, the Secretary of the Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Society. The following head note is prefixed to the On the 27th December I wrote to Senator Charles Sumner at Boston, requesting him to see what could be done in the case.

The copy was not taken. Mr. Sumner transmitted the letter through Dr. Howo to Mr. 8anborn, who replied (1st alleging ignorance of my engagement with Captain Brown.

TORBKH RXI-1TRS HIHDWM OF ITM FAMILY. 767 Broadway, N. Jan. 9, 1868. To F.

B. Sanborn, Concord, Mass. Yours of the 1st Inst, has been received, though after Kb proper time. 1 will, in fewest words possible, repeat to you the position I of my family, brought to this situation through the nonfulfillment of the engagements of the New England H'i manitartans. Noble, generous New Haven, which promised (1,000 and gave $26? per oent splendid dividend, considering that engagements of that sort never are kept, never are meant to be Captain Brown having been deceived by tho repudiation of the promises made to him, could not, of course, give for my family what had been stipulated.

I cannot blame him Tor tho misdeeds of others. Where I lay blame to his charge Is in his not having more earnestly UP the matter not bowing and begging, and howing, but instating. My voice shall, however, be heard. After my fsmlly had been compelled to psrt wttn nrst their few valuables, then tlmlr comforts, and lastly their not having themselves a change of linen; after a poor Italian refugee, named Barbettl, had become responsible Tor lebt. protest, kr.) 300 fiancs, for which liability ho is in dread of being thrown Into prison; after another Italian 'Ongaro? had sold the little he could sell ro pnrchnse food for them; after their enduring Insults snd the hourly expectation (prolonged for of being turned into ih? street, they on the toto of Novem'wr actutUjr di Iveu into the street houseless, pen uilefM, and n'thout Through the indom'tahlc ener Kef lire.

possessed extraordinary energy and had act Dall' Ongaro co-operated in finding tbem In (belter, tbe family most have perished and tbe gnilt of their would have been on tbe heads of the pious cheating of New England, who ought, to show unbounded gratitude to him for preserving these from the consummation of tbat crime. On the 17th of December they were in hourly fear of being again turned into street. Dall Ongaro could then do no more for thut: the meals supplied to them were insufficient, and eW tbey expected would be their last. This protracted mental torture and their privations stopped their education and affected tbe health of of my eldest daughter, who, by the letter of 10th December, I learned bad been for a long time very 111, and bad two days previously been attacked most severely with tic doloreux in the liead. A medical man who hud been called io bad prescribed remedies whloh they bad not the money to purchase.

On the 20th December tho pain was less acute: wlietber they had eventually procured tin' remedies 1 did not learn. They had, however, at hut date received a letter from me, informing them that I was on my way from tho West to New York. That gave them fresh courage, but tbey cannot live on oonrage; and when the following week briugs, instead of touuttancu, the news of iny being unable to move off my bed, what uiay have been tbe consequences? 1 sent to them from here on December 26 $18, which they will receive about the 13th or 16th of this rnanth. And what aro tlfl in such a difficulty? ook'Dicr or titf, mnAvmiuiNS. What has beeu the conduct of the humanitarians in this emergency? Their dominant thought has been to sbuAio off tbe responsibility instead of eagerly peeking to apply A re nil dy and thereby they have increased their responsi bility.

BclugB who deserve the name of men, especially such as a. pretensions to be humanitarians, ought to have vied with each other in tbeir efforts to have repaired tbe mischief, leaving as a very minor consideration for any future time the ttuet tion of there being more or less of blame attributable to the one or the other person. But with creatuies whose every idea is self, whose every action is mere vanity and upecuiution, the of their own individual responsibility aud of avoiding fc disbursement are above every other. TDK 4.NSWKR III GOT nOM GUBUTV. Tbe reply of Horace Greeley is illustrative of tbe feelings of ccrta'n humanitarians, aud of the Mate of public sentiment in this pari of tho world.

Be did not even hint at remedying tlie mis chief; be merely looked at the responsibility, and cast about for an excuse for doing uothing. Fir.it ho (known uk tho advocate of the higher law) argued that I had no legal claim according to the lower law. Then tbat false prophet of higher law laid down a new rulejin morals? vis: that i alone was to blame, because 1 ought to have known tbat engagements of that sort never are kept never aro meant to be kept. What a peculiar school of mora ttjl No blame, no shadow of proof for tbuso who break moral engagements the most stringent, but culpability and ruin without pity for those who believe in the sac redness of obligation. The false prophet concluded by asserting that such things were the same in It is not lor me to dispute tbe accuracy of Mr.

C.ret 'y goneral estimate of his own countrymen: I must, however, af-evrt that I know of some exceptions to his sweeping accusation. As regards his endeavors to include the Europeans in this bercf of repudiates, 1 emphatically and in Itfo repel tbe charge. 1 know not one solitary circumstance which can sustain, while I know of many facts which directly contradict, that part of bis imputation. Ols example 1 ill cite which with many others came under my immediate noticc. Ia January.

I860, being at Lausanne, in Switzerland, 1 was by Mazzlni requested to go to the United States. Hu sain he could only giro me the money to carry me to London, but that there I should be furnished with whatever would be requisite for my voyage across tbe Atlantic, and tbat wlitn I reached New York an Italian, for whom he gave me a letter, would see that 1 was supplied with further mtons. Tbe verbal promise of a man of honor sufficed for me (such is the habit in Europe), and I started for England lliat same evening. On my arrival in London I was informed that there had been a fund, which was then exhausted through an unusual rush or demands. A sum was, however, immediately collected among tbe English, 'enough lo send me ou and to let me have something in band on my landing in America.

Those English bad not been consulted in the matter of Mazzitii it was with tbem simply a point of honor (such is tbe habit iu Europe) not to cast discredit on an engagement made by a brother liberal. Wben I got 10 Una city the Italians (who had not been consulted respecting my coming) thought that Mazz ni bad done wrong in exjiectiug any nt from America aud iu sending me here; yet those Italians unhesitatingly resolved that the word of an Italian who had acted in good faith ought to be and should bo respected (such is the habit to Europe); therefore, though convinced that my exertions would be wholly useless, a fund was collected among them to enable mo to make the essay and to retorn, which essay, as the Italians bad predicted, proved an utter failure. BAD FAITH Of THE ABOUTIOXKTS. I will dow furniah you with a (act which goes far to demonstrate that the refusal of tho New England humanitarians to honor their engagements, last summer ami autumn, is not an Isolated instance of repudiation, hut la part of a regular system of unscrupulous deceit, practiced whenever a man zealous In the cause can be taken advantage of? some dupe, of course, who relies on the sacred ness of moral obligations. A gentleman now in business here acted from 1836 to 1845 as treasurer to the Society for the lYotection of Fugitive Slaves.

As the calls for money came at irregular intervals, and as it was eeeen tial that no impediments should delay the fugitives, he was requested by tho committee to advance whatever cash might be wanted, even though there were not funds enough in his hands to cover the outlay, the committee promising that any deficiency should be made good Lim. lie did as be had been asked to do, and soua discovered that the subscriptions of Urn exemplary humanitarians were falling short far behind his advances. Bo applied for the promised reimbursement, and was systematically put oil' and put off. The debt at length aucumu lated to about 1,500, when he became very pnpfcing for a settlement and refused to involve himself any deeper, whereupon the eomhiittee guessed it would be better to dissolve the society, since it did not cover its expenditures Accordingly they did, notwithstanding his remonstrances, dissolve the society, ai.d having by that trick wiped off the debt, they immediately reorganised, bringing in a few tie numbers who would notjoiu whiio the socicty wad In debt; after which manoeuvre the society went on as before, using the same books, minutes, Kc as it' nothing extraordinary had occuneJ. This proreeding I should sty impudent lying, cheating and swindling certain New Engenders may term it smart and praiseworthy; but if it be not swindling, I should like to hear what deeper degree of fraud constitutes swindling.

My advice to that gentleman was that bo should lay be whole before the ant i slavery societies of Europe, and should enlighten the public. He replied thai he did not wish to injure the cauce of abolitionism. 1 maintain, however, that abolitionism, being a struggle for the triumph of the great principles of liberty, truth and Justioe, the sooner it is taken out of the hands of cheats the better for humanity, for most assuredly if it be left in the of swindlers it must be swindled. REFKKKXCE TO KlUXIB AND A It 08 LAWRSNCR. You expp 8S surprise at my letter to Mr.

Amos Lawrence probably never heard of my name. How, then, did he give Oapt. B. a copy of my "Volunteer's Manuel I repeat that every effort to ghuOle off the responsibility makes the matter worse, and every hour of delay in forwarding aid aggravates the crime. Ordinary savages would not behave so brutally.

He explained that he bad done much to aid tho cause that he had caused 18,000 In money and arms to bo given to Captain B. also $8,000 to be voted to him by tho Chicago committee, of which be had received WOO; also, had done many other things of a similar nature as 9000, recently, for "secret service" adding that, if be had known of the engagement between Captain B. and myself, he would havo supported my wife and children, rather than allow what has happened to take place.

To T. B. Sanborn, Esq. Concord, Mass. Yours of January 16 duly came to hand.

I conld not reply earlier, having been confined to my bod from pleurisy, which I think is now passing away. If my statement was incorrect as to the number of days yon kept the draft of Mr. Gerrit Smith that was not an "exaggeration" of mine. He spoke from memory and was liable to mistake, and ho doubtless calculated the time he sent it till be got it back by post us being about three weeks? he did not count the days. 1 regret that the explanations contained in your communication were not in your letter of January 1, they would have caused mo to modify some expressions bearing on yourself.

When I consider that I may have committed an injustice, I have no hesitation frankly lo confess it. I herewith return ten dollars enclosed la your last letter, lest you might imagine that they had influeooed my opinion. Ree pec Ung tho herd of committeemen, managers, repudiators and political tricksters, I I could use harder words than I have employed; but the English language lacks terms sufficiently strong to qualify the treatment to which my family has been subjected. My memorial to tho Anti Slavery Soeiety of London I expect to able to send next week by hand. I have no right to make any demand upon that body; yet kindness may be shown, If some members have friends in 1'aris.

Bat on reaching the farm of young John Brown, In Ohio (wbero I was most kindly received), I got a letter from Mr.

Morton, informing mo that Mr. Smith having been very ill bad not yet opened any of his letters.
