TO DELINQUENTS.
In a few weeks we shall commence
striking from our list of subscribers,
the names of those who have not
paid in advance. This is our only
means of protection, for the low
price of our paper will not justify the
very heavy expense of sending out
Agents, and too many ot our sub
scribers seem to have no idea of
punctualitv in the payment ot their
indebtedness. Those, therefore, who
mav fail to receive their papers, will
be at no loss to account for the
cause.
We shall proceed as rapidly as
possible to send Bills to all those in
debted, and if they are not promptly
paid, the paper will be discontinued.
The Ilarper'n Ferry InMiirection-
As the most exciting aud interesting topic of the
uay, we devote much of our space to the details of
the effort of a few fanatics to produce an iusurrec.
tion at Harper’s Ferry. Naver before have we
heard of a m< re reckleea, fool-Lardy and insane
attempt to acomplUb an object, aud the retribution
of the actors Las been terrible indeed ; for of the
twenty-three active participants, fifteen were killed,
three mortally wounded, and the remainder, with
a single exception, Cot k. who escaped, made prison,
era, and must of course be hung.
V. e sincerely hope that the government may
have possessed itself of sufficient evidence in
Brown s papers, to convict (Urrft Smith, if he
is real y guilty, and his worthy compatriot, Fred
D >CG! es, aud ihat they may be made to test the
capacity of s<'tne western made rope, together with
all others who Lave participated in this insane
project.
Fertilizer**
Want of space yesterday prevented our giving a
m ire general notice of the various fertilizers now’
offered for sale by Agents in our city, and adver
tised in our columns. In calling attention to their
advertisements, we have no disposition to recom
mend one kind of manure more than another, but
e’mply tr urge this branch of agricultural improve
meat upon our planting triende, to bring the suljco’
to their attention, and to suggest that they inform
themselves in regard to the respective merits o*
ercb kind, and then make a (rialof their properties'
Those who have already experimented in them
have doubtless formed their opinions ai.d established
their preferences. Otl.er3 who have not will profit
by the experience of toeirneigbbors, or by calling
on the agents and examining the certificates in their
possesion.
We sutjoin a list of such as are now or Lave
bsea recently advertised in our columns :

The Montgomery Guards and Irish Volunteers,
were out yesterday alteruoon, on their first parade
for the eeaaon. we believe. They made a good ap
pearance, and their movements attracted the usua
attention.
Railroad Intelligence:.— We learn from the
Greenville Democrat, that at a conference of the
officers of the East Tennessee and Virginia Rail
read, the East Tenneteee and Georgia Railroad,
and the Western and Atlantic Railroad, held at
Knoxville, a lew days since, it was resolved to dis
continue the express passenger train on said loads
from and after the fifth day of November nex.,
provided the contract for a double daily mail is not
awarded to them. The travel during the winter
season is cot thought sufficient to justify the run
ning of two daily passenger trains each way.—
Connecting roads have been notified of this action.
The Synod of New Jersey (Gld School Presbyte
rian) embraces 18U churches, 191 miniateis, and a
membership ot 23,000.
A New Statue or Washington.— There is now
in New York, fresh from the chisel of Hiratn Pow
crs,of Fiorenoe, a buautifuhy executed full length
statue of the Father of his Country, clothed in
Masonic regaiia. It was executed for Fredericks
burg Lodge, Virginia, in which Washington was
init.at-d, pa*sed and raised, a! an expense of s*i 0 ! 0.
Should the present war be’ween England and
Ciiina ecistinue for any length of time, it would
cause material interruption of the trade between
the two countries and produce considerable em
barrassments. The direct trade between Grea t
Britain and China averages annually about sixiy
millions of dollars, besides which the former is indr
- nelly icterosted in three other important trades,
namely those between India aud China, China and
Australia, and China and the United States, showing
a very wide range ot commercial transaction. Ir
maybe that no serious interruption of the external
trade of Ch ua will take place ; but should it prove
otherwise, it will be a calamity of greater mag .i
lude than the mere figures of British experts and
imports would, at fust sight, suggest.
Americans in Japan.—A letter from an Arnori
cat', published in the New York Kxprees, dated Na
gasaki, July, 1559, says :
“ There has been such a rush of traders to Japan, j
tha- almost everything that can be bought has been
carried off Nearly a hundred Bhipe has already .
been to Nagasaki. There were twenfy-fiye in j
poll wLea we arrived, including the war steam- J
i-rs. Such an it flux of Irade as this upon a peoplo
entirely unused and unprepared for it, has of course
cieauel them our and carried prices up very rapid
ly. The Japanese are a very interesting peop'e
and have more life, vivacity and expression about
them tbau the Chinese. Tne poople are very in
quisitive, and all manner of questions. In the
shops they ai ways want to know whether we are
Americans, English, Haas-ian*or Dutch. They ex
amine very carefully every aiticle cf clothing, and
say ‘ Eproka’ (good) wbc-nihey find anything which
particularly pleases their fancy. As you walk the
streets you are saluted on every side by the chil
dren with ‘Ohio’ (how are you) aud ‘Boton Basie,’
(give me a button ) They have a great, passion f. jr
brass buttons, and the naval officers have almost
stripped their coats in making presents. If i had
only known it before 1 would have brought a tow
gross from Shanghai. It would have made me tLe
mos* popular man in Nagasaki. I have cut off all
1 hatcould ne spared, but my supply is exhausted,
and I have nothing left to answer the demand of
* Boton Basie.’ ”
The Progress ok Steam Power. —The London
Quarterly Review of May, 1839, twenty years ago,

Mr. Editor .—Will jou all* w me a small space
in the columns of jcur paper, to pay a dceurvtd
tribute to a worthy citizen, the present Mayor cf
Augusta, Hon. Fester Blodget, Jr. ? I Warn that
May or Blodget is not likely to be a candidate for
re election, therefore it cannot be presumed that
this aiticle, though by a friendly band, is designed
tolfave any political effect. The writer is not a
citizen of Auguste, but a native Georgian, feeling
a lively interest in every thirg which is calculated
to advance the prosperity and weh-beng of the
city.
1 have a feeling sense of pereo: al kindness at the
hands of the Mayor, as a private citizen, towards a
comparative stranger ; but no merely personal
feeling could induce me lbu3 to intrude on your
columns, were it not that I find almost the univesal
voice cf the city, of all parties, uniting to com
mend Mr. Blodget aa a most r fficient, indefatigable,
zealous, icorking Mayor—having at heart, a deep
solicitude for evc-iy interest of Lis native piece. In
season and cut of season, at ai! times and under all
circumstances, Mayor Blodget seerns to devote his
whole energies to the building up of Augusta inte
rests, looking not merely to the present, but to the

übiquitous, aud nothing escapes his personal atten

InMirreoiSon at Harper’s Ferry—Authentic
Beta ilt*.
We can perhaps give our readere, in the most
intelligible and interesting form, the particulars of
this extraordinary servile insurrection, by throwing
into a corrected narrative, all that we have
gathered on the militaty expedition to Harper’s
Felly ill relation to i‘sinception, purpose, attempt
ed i oustimmation and defeat. We commence
with
I IB ORIGINATORS.
The principal originator of the insurrection, and
the chief leader in its short bu r bloody existence,
was undoubtedly Captain John Brown, whose
connection with the scenes of violence aud border
warfare in Kansas Las made bis name *aini!iarly
notorious to the whole country. Captain Brown
made ins first appearance iu the vicinity of Har
per’s Ferry more than a year ego, accompanied by
bis two sons, the whole p riy assuming the name ot
Smith. They mquited about land iu the vicinity,
made invettigatims as to the probability of find
ing ores, and for some time boarded at Sandy
Hook, odo mile east of Harper’s Ferry. After an
absence of some months they re appeared iu the
vicinity, and ttie elder Brown rented or leased a
farm on the Maryland side, about tour miles from
Harper's Feny. They bought a large number of
picks and spades, and thus confirmed the belief
that they intended to mine for ores. They were
eeeu trequently in and about Helper s Ferry, but
no suspicion soeius to have existed that ‘‘Bill
Smith" was Captain Brown, or that lie intended
embaiking iu a movement bj desperate and extra
ordinary. Yet the development of the plot leaves
no doubt that his visits to the Feriy and his lease of
the farm were all pails cf Lis preparation for an
insurrection which he supposed wa> to be .-u cess
ful iu exterminating s.avery in Maryland aud West
ern Virginia.
Capt. Brown's chief aid was John E- Cook, a
comparatively young man, who has resitted iu and
near Harper’s Ferry for some years. He wa* first
employed in tending a look on the canal, lie as
-1 terwards taught school on the Maryland side, and
1 after a brief residence in Knucad where it is sup
posed that Le became acqiiirnted with Brown, re
turned to the Ferry and married there. lie was
1 legarded as a man of some intelligence, known to
I be anti-slavery, but not eo violent in the expression
of hia opinions as to excite any suspicious. These
j two men, with Brown’s two sens, were the only
! white tnen connected with the insurrectionthat had
| been seen about tbe Ferry. All were brought by
t Capt. Brown from a distance, aud nearly al! had
| I been with him in Kansas.
I THE COMMENCEMENT I 1 THE INtCRRECTIOX.
* The first active movement in the insurrection wes
made about half past ten o'clock on Sunday night,
j Wm. Williams, watchman on Harper's Ferry
• i bridge, whilst walking across towards the Maryland
' ; side was seized by a number ot men, who said he
1 was their prisoner and must come with them. lie
I* recognized Brown and Cook among the men, and
knowing them, trta'ei the mat'.er as a joke, but
enforcing silence they conducted him to the arm >ry
which be found already in their possession. He
j was retaiued till after dayligh’ aud then discharged.
| The watchman who was to relieve Williams at mid
I night, found the bridge lights ail out, and immi-Ji
.! ately was «e zed. Supposing it an attempt at
• robbery, be brok# ftway aud his pursuers stumbling
r over the track he escaped.
The next appearance of the insurrectionists was
at the house of Col. Lewis Washington, a large
tanner and slave owner, living about four miles
from tue Ferry. A party headed by Cook pro
ceeded there, roused Col W , and told him he was
a prisoner. They also seized all the slaves near the
Louses, took a carriage and horee and a large wagon
with two hoises. When Co'- Washington saw Cook
he immediately recognized bin* Ms 3 man who had
called upon him some months previous, to whom be
had exhibited sonuo ysluab e arms in ins pos-ession,
including an antique sword presented by Fredtiipk
the Great to General Washington, gptj a pair of
pistols presented by Lafayette to Washington, both
heir-looms in the family. Before leaving Cook in
vited Col Washington to a trial of skill at shooting,
and exhibited eooeiderat le certainty as a marksman
When he made his visit on Sunday night he alluded
to his previous visit and the courtesy with which be
bad been treated, regretting the uc..esriiy which
made it bis duty to arreet Col. W. He, however,
took ftfivaidage of tLe knowledge he obtained by
the former visit to carry off all the Colonel's valua
ble collection of a.me, wbjph he did not re-obtain
until after the final defeat ot the insurrection.
From Col. Washington s they proceed with him
a piisouei iu his can iage, aud twelve of hia negroes
in the wagon, to the bouse of Mr. Alistadt, another
’ large farmer on the same road. Mr. Alistadt, and
! hia son, a lad of sixteen, were taken prisoners, all
- i their negroes within reach forced to join the move
! meut, ai d they returned to the Armory at the
1 i Ferry. A! these movements seem to have been
j made without exciung tbe slightest alana iu the
j town, nor did the Geumuon of Capt. Ptelp’s train
’ 1 at the upptr end of the town at’ract attention. I*
j was not uul'l tbs town thorough y waked up aud
J found tbe bridge guarded by armed men, and a
1 guard stationed at. all the avenues, that the people
J ’ouutl they were prisoners. A panic appears to
Lave immediately ensued, and tue number of tLe
insurrectionists magnified from fifty, which was
pi obably their greatest f*>rce, including the slaves
forced to jsin, to from livs to six hundred, iu the
iiieautime, a number of the worka?eu knowing no
thing of what Lnd occurred, entered toe Aunory,
and were instantly taken prisoners, until, a’ one
time, they had not icss tLqn sixty men confined.
Ainorg times lime entrapped w-ere Anni-tcad Ball,
Chief Draughtsman of the Armory; Ben) min Kills,
Master ot the Armory ; and J. E. 1* Danger!]eld,
Paymaster's Cleik. lines gentlemen were
imprisoned in the engine house, which afterwards
became tho chief fortress of the insurgents, and
were not relea-ed until after the final assault. Tbe

which time Capt. Cook with two whitg men, aud
accompanied by thirty slaves, and taking with them
Col Washington’s large wagon, went over the
bridge uml struck up the mountain road towa r ds
Pennsylvania. It was then believed that tbe largo
wagon was used to convey away the Payu a-ti-i’.-i
safe containing .fli’.ffiO in Government funds, and
nlto that r was tilled with Minie riiteo taken out to
gupp y ofher bands in tho inouutisips who were to

neither money nor arms were disturbed,
j IHE BEGtNMG OF THE FIGHT —SHOOTING A PRIS
ONER.
j As 11 edc-y advanced, *td the new? spread around,
i and people came into tee Ferry, (ie first demonstra
tions of leeietance were made to
A guerilla warfare commenced, chit-fly led on by >j
man named Chambers whose house comaaauoed
the Armory yard. The colored man named Hay
ward, railroad porter, was shot early in the morning
lerrefngiug tojoin the moveoie t. Nextinin shot
was Joseph Burley, a citizen of Harperis Feny.
He was shot whilst standing in his own door. About
this time also Sami. P. iiout v. E< q , was shot dead,
lie was coining into the town ou horseback, carry
ing a gun. when he was shot from the Armory,
receiving a wound of which lie died during tLe day.
lie was a graduate of Point, and greatly re
spected iu the neighborhood for his high character
and noble qualities.
The insurrectionists at this time finding a disposi
tion to resist them, had witbdrawu;neariy all within
the Armory grounds, leaving only a guard on the
ondgo. About noon the Chailestown troops, under
command of Col. Robert W. Baylor, arrived, Gross
ing the Potomac river some distance up and march
ing down the Mai yland side to the mouth of the
bridge. Firing a volley they made a gallant dash
acrose tbe bridge, clearing it of tLe insurrectionists
who retreated rapidly down toward the Armory
In this movement one of the insurrectionists, nam
ed Wm. Thompson, was taken prismor.’ The
Shepberdstowu troops next arrived, marching down
the Shenanhoah side and joining the Charlestown
forces at the bridge. A desultory^exchange of
shots followed, one of which struck Mr. Fontaine
Beckham, Mayor of the town and agent of tho
Railroad Company, in the breast, passing entirely
through iris body, the bail was a large elongated
slug, making a dreadful wound. He died almost
immediately. Mr. Beckham was without arms aud
wag exposed only for a moment vhiiet approaching
the water station. H s a-sailant, one ot Brown’s
son’s was shot almost immediately, but managed
to get back to tbe engine house, where his dead <
body was found the next day i
The rrurd* rof Mr. Beckham excited the people

prisoner 1 lion peon lie was brought out on the
bridge and shot down , from the bridge he fell into
the water, end acme appearance of iii'e still remain
ing he was again riddled with bal'e.
SHARI* FIGHTING COMMENCING.
At this time a genera! charge was made down
the street from the bridge towards the Armory gate
by the Charlestown aud Shepherdetown troops and
the Feiry people. From behind (be Armory wall a
fuailade was kept up and returned by the insurrec
tionists from the Armory buildings. Whilst this
was going on, the Martit sburg levies arrived at the
upper end of the town, and entering the Amory
grounds by the rear, made an attack from that end.
This force was largely composed cf the railroad
employees, gathered from ihe tonnage trains at
Marlineburg, aud their attack was generally sdo
ken of as showing the greatest amount of fighting
pluck exhibited during the day. Dashing on, firing
and cheering, and gallantly led by Capt. Alburtis,
they carried the building in which the Armory men
were imprisoned and released the whole of them.—
They were however but poorly armed, some with
pistols and others with shotguns, and when they
came within range of the engine house, where the
elite of the insurrectionists were gathered, aud were
exposed to their rapid and dexterous use of Sharp’s
rifles, they were forced to fail back, suffering
pretty severely. Conductor Evan Dorsey, of Bal
timore, was mortally wounded, and Conductor
Gsorgo Richardson received a wound from which
ho died during the day. Several others were
woundtd, among tbem a son of Dr. Murphy, of
Harper’s Ferry.
A guerilla warfare wart maintained during the
rest of the day resulting in the killing of three of
the insurgents anti the wounding oi a fourth. One
of them crawled cut through a culvert leading into
the Potomac, and attempted to cross to the Mary
land side, whether with a view of escaping or of
conveying information to Cook’s party, was not
known. He was shot while crossing the river, aud
tell dead on the reeks. Au adventurous lad waded
out and secured his Sharp's rifle, and the body was
afterwards stripped of a portion of its c lothing. In
one of hia pockets was found a captain’s commis
sion, drawm up in full form, and declaring the
bearer, Capt. Lehman, held that command under
Major General Brown! A light mulatto was also
shot just outside the Armory gate. The bail went
through and through his throat, tearing away all the
great arteries, and killing him almost instantly,—
His name was not known, but he was one of the
free negroes who came with Capt. Brown. His
body was left exposed in the street up to noon
yesterday; exposed to every indignity that could
| be heaped upon it by the excited populace. At
this time a tall, powerful man, named Aaron
Stevens, came out from the Armory conducting
some prisoners, it was said, and was shot twice,
ouce in the side of the face, and once in the breast.
He was captured and taken into the tavern, and
after the insurrection had been quelled, was turned
over in a dying condition to the United States
authorities. Another man was shot in the Arsenal
yard.
During the afternoon a sharp little affair took
place dn the Shenandoah side of the town. The
insurrectionists had also seized Hail’s riffs works,
and a party of their assailants found their way
iu through the miil race and dislodged them. Jn
this rencontre k was said that three of the insurrec
tionists were killed, but we found but one dead
body, that of a negro, on that, side of the city.—
Right by this time Lad nemo on and active opera
| turns hsd ceased. Guards were placed around the
: Armory and every precaution taken to prevent ea
j capes.
ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIMORE MILITARY.
At I'' o’clock rn Monday night the train with the
i Baltimore military and United S’a'es marines ar
! rived at Bandy Hook, where they waited for the
arrival ot Col. Lee, deputised by the War Depurt
‘ meiit to take command. The reporters pressed on,
I leaving their military a’iie-i behind. They found the
| bridge in possession of the mi itary and entered the
! besieged and beleagured town without dillionlty,
the occasional report of a gun or theeinging motion
■ ot a Sharpe's rifle bail, warning them that it was
! advisable to keep out of range of the Armory.—
! Their first visit was to the bed-tide of Aaron Ste
vens, the wounded prisoner. Th. y found him a
large, exceedingly athletic mat), a perfect Sampson
in appearance, lie was in a small room, tilled with
excited armed men, who more than once threatened
to shoot him where he was, groaning with pain, but
answering with composure and apparent willing
ness every question in relation to the foray in which
ho was engaged. He said he was a native of Con
\ uecticut.but had lately lived in Kansas, where be
S knew Captain Brown. lie had a!-o served in the
! United States Army. The sola obj mt of the at
tempt was to give the negroes freedom, and Uapt.
Brown h d represented that as soon as they seized
the Armory the negroes would dock to them by
thousands, and they would soon have force enough
to accomplish their purposes. Ha believed that the
j freeing of the negroes was a proper purpose, one
for which he would sacrifice his life, but thought
that Captain Brown had been greatly deceived in
relation to the movement. Ho said preparations
ha i been tusking for some months fur the move
menl, but that tue whole force consisted of seven
teen white men apd live free negroes. This state
ment was repeated without variation by all the
prisoners with whom we conversed. They all agreed
as to the number in the movement, and as to its
object*, which »(me of them called the work of
philanthropy.
Lewis Leary, the negro shot at tLo rifle mill,
stated betore he died that he enlisUd wiih Captain
Brown for the insurrection at a fair held in Lorraine
county, Ohio, and received money from him to pay
his expenses. They all came down to Chambors
burg, Fa., and from there traveled across the
country to Brown’s lartn.
HOW THE MIGHT TASSED.
The night passed without serious alarms, but. net
tfithout excrement. The marines were marched
over immediately after the arrival ot Col. Loo, and
were stationed within the armory grounds, so as to
completely surround the engine house. Occasional
shots were tired by the country voluntee * —what
for was not understood ; but there was only one
return lire from the insurgents. The broken tele
graph was soon repaired through the exertions of
Superintendents VVeateryelt and Talcott, who
accompanied the expedition, and the announce
ment tba* communication was opened with Balti
more gave the “press representatives’’ abundant
employ input.
T!.efe was no finding any bed, and daylight was
awaited with anxiety. Its earliest glimpses were
availed of to survey the scene. A visit to the
different localities in which the corpses of the in
surrectionists were lying stark and bloody, a peep,
close or far off, according to the courage ot the
observer, at tie “ Wa'akoff” of the insurgents, was
the established order of sightseeing, varied with a
discussion of all sotts of terrible rumors.
FORT OK THE INSURQENTS.
The building in which the insurgents had made
their stand was the tire engine house, and no doubt
the moat defensible building in the Armory! It has
dead brick w«Us on three sides, and on tue fourth,
large doors, with wipdow sashes above, some eight
feet from the ground. 4 dead stillness surrounded
the building, and except that now and then a man
might be seen peeping fit m the nearly closed os .tie
door, ora dog’s uose slightly protruding, there was
j;o sign of lit e, much lees of hostility, given. Vari
ous opinions we a given as to the number of persons
within, and the amount ot resistai.ee they would be
able to offer. Cannon could not be used without
endangering the saiety of Col. Washington, Mr.
Datigerhctil, Mr. Bail, and other citizens whom
they held as prisoners. The doers and walls of the
building had been pierced tor rifles, but it was evi
dent that irons theee holes no range could be had
ana that without opening the door they would be
shooting in the dark- Toe murder of the prisoners
held was thought by many to be determined upon,
and then a fight to ilie death aa an ending to their
desperate attempt. Whilst people thus lo ked and
speculated, the door was thrown open, ami one of
tue prison* rs was seut out with a ll *g of truce, and
delivered wtat was supposed to be terms of c-tpito-
Jation. Trie continuance of the preparations for as
sault showed they were not accepted.
THK DEMAND FOR SURRENDER—THF. ATTACK AND
CAPTURE.
Shortly after seven o’clock Lk ut. J. F. B. Stuart,
of the Ist Cav fry, who was acting as aid for Col.’
Jtbe, advanced to parley with the besieged, Samuel
M: rider, Esq., an old and respectable citizen, bear
ing a flag of truce. They were received ut the
door by Capt. Cook. Lieut. Stuart demanded an
unconditional- uireader, only promisin/ them pro
tection f'foiy immediate violence and trial by law.
Cap!. Brown refused ati terms out thoie previously
demanded, which were gubtantially: “That ha
should be permitted to march out with his men and
arm*, taking prisoners with them ; that they
should proceed unpursued to the second toll-vat a
when they would free their prisoners. The Wuiera
were then at liberty to pursue and they would tight
V tjjey could not escape.” Os course this was re
fused and Lieut. Si;;art pressed upon Brown hia
desperate position, and urged a Sutrende,. The
expostulation though beyond ear shot was evidently
very earnest, and the cooin ss ot the Lieutenant
aod the coiirauo of his aged fHg bearer won warm
praise
A! this moment the interest of the scene was in
tense. The voluliters wore arranged ail around the
nuiio’.nj, cutting oil escape in every direction. The
marines divided :« two squads, were ready for a
dash at the doer. Finally, Lieut. Stuart, having
exhausted all argument will, the determined Captain
Brown, walked slowly from the door. Immediately
the signal for attack was given, and the marines
heeded by Coi Harris and Lieutenant Breen ad
vanced in two lines on each side the door. Two
powerful fellows sprang between the liues, and
Witu heavy sledge hammers attempted to batter
€iv>vrn tiie door. Tue doo? ewun# &ud swayed but
appeared to be secured with a rope, the fewintr f ,r
winch deadened the effect of the blows. Fainm*
thus to obtain a breach, the marines were ordered
back, and twenty of them took hold of a
ladder some torty feet tc-ng -ind advancing at a run
brought it with tremendous power acainst‘rh«
At the second blow it gave way cue leaf f-m. d '
»;“• i“ a position. &T«rin e , S"*
ately advanced to the breach Major itnwi .
Lieutenant Green leading. X S
fell; the tiring from the iuterior is rapid arid f r ° nt
they tiro with deliberate aim, and for the moment
the resistance is serious and desperate enoiurh to
excite the spectators to something like a Ditch f
frenzy. The next moment the Marines pour in '
the firing ceases, and the work was done, whilst the
cheers rang from every side, the general feeling
being that the Marir.es had done their part admira
bly.
When the insurgenlo were brought out—s-me
dead, others wounded—they were greeted with
execrations, and oniy the precautions that had been
taken saved them from immediate execution. The
crowd, nearly every man of which had a gun,
swayed with tumultuous excitement, and cries cf
‘’shoct them,” “shoot them,” rar.g from every side.
The appearance of the liberated prisoners, all of
whom, through the steadiness of the marines,
escaped injury, changed the current of feeling, and
prolonged cheers took the place of hosvlsand exe
crations. In the assault private Rupper, of the
marines, received a bail iu the st jmach and was
believed to be fatally wounded; another received a
slight flesh wound in the face.
THE DEAD AND WOUNDED.
The lawn in front of the engine house after the
assault, presented a dreadful sight. Lying on it
were two bodies of men killed the previous day
and found inside the house; three wounded men,
one at the last gasp of life, two others groaning in
pain. One of the dead was Capt Brown’s son,
Ottowa, the wounded man his £.lO Watson, whilst
the father himself laid upon the grass a gory specta
cle, his face aud hair clotted with blood and a
severe bayonet wound in his side.
CAPT. BROWN’S STATEMENT.
A short time after he was brought out he revived
and talked earnestly to those about him, defending
his course, and avowing that he had done only
what was rigid. He replied to questions substau
tialiy as fellows:
Q Are you Captain Brown, of Kansas 1
A. 1 am sometimes called so.
if Are you Osawattamie Brown ?
A. I tried to do my duty there.
Q What was your present object '!
A. To free the slaves from bondage.
Q. Were any other persons but those with you
now, connected with the movement ?
A. No.
Q. Did yon expect aid from the North?
A. No ; there was done connected with the move
ment but those who came with me.
<V. Did you expect, to kill people in order to carry
your point.
A. I did not wish to do it, but you forced me to
do it.
Various questions of this kind were put to Cap
tain Brown, which he answered clearly and freely
and seemed anxious to vindicate his course. He
urged that he had the town at his mercy, that he
could have burned if and mttrd remits inhabitants,
but did not, lie had treated the prisoners he had
tak< n with courtesy, arid complained that he was
hunted down like a beast. He spoke of the killing
of his son, which lie alleged was done whilst he was
bearing a flag of truce, and seemed very anxious
for the safety of the wounded sou. Altogether hie
conversation bore the impress of a conviction that
whatever he had done to free slaves was right, and
that in the war iu which he was engaged he was
entitled to be-treated with all the respect of a pris
oner of war. He seemed fully convinced that he
had been badly treated atd had a right to com
plain.
When first brought out he was suppose! to be
mortal y wounded and be himself said he was dy
ing. An examination of his wounds proved them
to be not necessarily tatal, aud he afferwards ex
pressed a desire to live aud to be tried by his Gaun
try. Iu his pockets a considerable number of pa
pers were found, among which were the articles of
agreement under which the insurrectionists acted,
and what purported to boa schedule for the estab
lishment oi “provisional government.” In bis
pockets were lound nearly tour hundred dollars in
gold, which was committed to the care of Dr. Mur
; phy, the Armory Paymaster. Trie most important
i papers found in Lis possession were taken in charge
| of by Col. Lee, on behalf of the government. The
I following note, characteristic of the pursuits of the
! man, fell into our possession ;
“C attain f) rote a —
J “Hear Sir:—l have been disappointed iu not
| seeing you here ere this, to take charge of your
freight. They have been here now two weeks, and
as 1 had to superintend the providing for them, it
has. imposed upon me no small task. Beside'', they
] are getting discontented, and if not soon taken on
some of them will go back to Missouri. I wish to
know definitely v, hat you propose doing.
‘ They cannot be kept here much louger without
risk to themselves, and if any of them conclude to
go back to the Hta'e it will be a bad termination
to your enterprise.” [No Signature ]
commander of the insurrectionists.
Captain John Brown, the commander and insti
gator of this most singular project, lias been known
by the came of “Gsawatiamie Brown,'’ in which
character he obtained quite a notoriety (hrougboufc
the country, a* one of the leaders of the Free State
Party in Ksusas. He was the her >of titty guerilla
lights in the vicinity of Osawattamie, in one ot
which his son Frederick Brown was killed. His
skill and bravery in this species of warfare was
undisputed.
THE PRISONERS.
Beside Captain Brown, the prisoners taken are
hi» son, who is serioudy wounded in the abdomen
and not likely to live; Kiwiu Coppuck, who be
longs to lowa, and a negro named Shields Green,
who came from Pittsburg to join Brown. The
stories of all these men are precisely the same;
; they agree as to the object they propose to accom
plish and the number of panics in the movement,
j Young Brown, in answer to a question, said there
were parties in the North connected with the move-
I meat —thus differing with hia father on this point.
Coppuek, the other white prisoner, is quite young,
gad seems less shrewd than the others. He said ha
did not wish to join the expedition, and when asked,
gave a reply which showed the influence Brown
had over him. lie said;—“Ah! you gentlemen
don’t know Captain Brown, when he calls for us
we never think of refusing to come.”
Several slaves wars found ip the room with the
insurrectionseto, but it is not believed that they
were there willingly. Indeed Brown's expectations
as to the slaves running to him was entirely disap
pointed. None seem to have come to him willing
ly, and in moat cases they were forced to desert
their masters. JUff one Instance in which a slave
made a public appearance with arms in his bauds
is related. A negro who had been sharply used by
one of the town people, when he found he had a
pike in bis hand, used his “brief authority’’ to ar
rest the citizen qnd have him taken to the Armory.
TREATMENT OK THE PRISONERS.
The citizens imprisoned by the insurrectionists all
testify to their lenient treatment. They were neither
tied nor insulted, and beyond the outrage of restrict
ing their liberty, were pot ill used. Capt. Brown was
j aiways courteous to them, and at all times assured
them they should not be injured. He explained his
purposes to them, and whilst he had the workmen
iu confinement made an abolition speech to them
Col. Washington speaks of h m as a man of extra
ordinary nerve. He never blenched during the as
sault, though he admitted during the night that es
cape was impossible, and he would have to die.
When the door was broken down, one of his men
cried out, “ I surrender.” The Captain immediate
ly cried out. “ There’s one surrenders—give him
quarter,” and at the same moment fired his rifle at
the door. During the previous right he spoke free
: iy with Col. Washington and referred to his eons,
j He said he bad lost one in Kansas and two k^re —he
j had not pressed them to join him in this expedition,
but he did not regret their loss —they had “ died in
a glorious cause.”
The position of the prisoners in the engine house
during the firing on Monday, and at the moment of
the final attack, was a very trying one. Without
any ot the incentives of com bat they had to risk the
bails of tbe : r friends, but happily they all escaped.
At the moment when the doors were broken iu,the
prisoners, at the suggestion of Col. Washington,
threw up their hands, so that it might be seen they
were not combatants. J
EXCITING SCENES.
During the looming armed men con!inued to pour
into Harper’s Ferry, in all soria of costume and with
every variety of arms. Over two hundred men
came in on hoiseback, and probably there were
from one thousand to twelve hundred men assem
bled tt-ere. The desire t«_* KiJJiot nummary ven
geance w f ,i exhibited in the strongest manner, and
the vindictive feeling existing found one mode cf
expressure not at ait oammendable. The body of
one of Brown’s party shot in the river the previous
day, was dislodged from the rock op which it fell
and came floating tit,wn. A3 it passed down toward
the bridge it was made tue target for probably a
hundred shots, and must have been thoroughiv rid
died with balls. * *
EXPEDITION AFTER COOK —SEIZURE OF ARSIS.
During Tuesday morning one of Col. Washing
ton’s negroes came in and reported that Cook was
in the mountains only three mb s off About the
same time some shots ware said to have been fired
from the Maryland hills, and a rapid fusilade was
returned from Harper’s Ferry. The Independent
Greys, of Baltimore, immediately Btarted on a scout,
ing expedition, and in two hours returnod with two
wagons loaded yuh arms and ammunition found at
Capt Brown’s house. The arms consisted of boxes
filled with Sharpe’s rifles, pistols, &c., all bearing
the marks of the Massachusetts Manufacturing
Company, at Chicopee, Mass. There were also
found a quantity of United States ammunition, a
large number of spears (sharp iron bowia knives
fixed on a pole, a terrible looking weapon,) intended
for the use of the negroes, with spades, pick axes,
Hove's, and everything that might be needed.
Thus prpving that the expedition was well provided
for, that a large party of men were expect ed to be
armed, and that abundant means had been provi
ded to meet all expenses. How all these supplies
were got up to his farm without attracting atten
tioe, is not known. They are supposed to have
been brought through Pennsylvania.
Tnb Greys pursued Co >k ao c'oseiy that they
secured part of his arms, but with his more perfect
knowledge of the localities he was enabled to evade
capture. On their arrival at the Ferry with the
enemy’s spoil, they were greeted with hearty cheers,
The wagons were driven iniq the Armory yard and
giver, into the custody of the Government. As
everybody else, however, who could lay his hand
on a Sharpe’s rifle considered it legitimate spoil,
why should not the Greys have a claim on their
valuable capture ?
The insurrectionists did not attempt to rob the
Paymaster’s department at the armory. A large
amount of money was there but it was untouched.
Perfect order having been restored, the military,
with the exception of the United States marines’
who remained in charge of the prisoners, left in the
various trains for home. An immense tram biought
the Baltimore treops, accompanied by the Frederick
tr. ops to the junction, home, with that freedom *rotn
accident or detention that is a great charactsns .ic
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
Harper’s Ferry, 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. They were this morning early
seen on the Mary laud shore, and the military are in
pursuit.
Another rioter named Lewis Leary, has died.
Before breathing his last he confessed the particu
lars of the plot. He said it was concocted by
Brown at the fair held in Ohio two months ago.
Harper's Feery, Oot. 19th.—12, Midnight.—
Great consternation prevailed here Iwo hours to
night. All the men, women and children from
Sandy Hook and that vicinity, to the number of
100, camo flockiDg into thi3 town, reporting- that
Cook was murdering the whites there. Every
body armed and sailed out, but the alarm proved
false.
The prisoners have all been taken to the jail in
Charlestown, Jefferson county, Va.
Captain Brown (the old man) is considered out
of danger. His son died last night. A marine is
aleo dead.
Gov. Wiso has gone with some armed men to
search a cave where it is said, fugitive slaves are
eoaeeald.
Scott is still in the mountains. Scouts report
having tracked him from a house where he eat his
breakfasi.
Fata 1. Accident.— On Tuesday last, aa the

east of Seven Mile Ford, Smythe county, Va.,a
dead limb fell from standing timber t on the side of
the road, and etiuck John Dorsey, the engineer,
upon the head, crushing the skull, aud killing him
instantly.
We are just informed that Mr. O. D. Jones’ ferry
boat sunk yesterdi yat his ferry, in this county;
with Mr. J. A Rumsey’a loaded wagon on board.
Two fine mules were drowned. The ireight, we
learn, will be saved in a damaged condition. No

The Expense of Gas in Cities.— The North
American concludes an article on the “Cost of
Gas,” with the iollowing remarks :
“It will strike everyone that the coat of gas in
this country is disproportionately large as compared
with English cities. It is proven in the calculations
submitted to the Glasgow meeting, that it no in
terest is paid on capital wasted iu the crudities of
first construction of works, gas may be furnished at
less than fifty cents the thousand feet. All the
great works constructed there as well as here, are
thus encumbered with unprofitaltiy epent capital,
which must be earned by the current use of gas,
unless old woiks are wholly abandoned, ana a
strong point against the purchase by the city of the
company works at Glasgow, is made on the ground
that the public are entitled to the earliest possib e
release from burdens unwisely incurred, and that
such burdens ehould not be made a perpetual
charge for the future.
“We here pay nearly double the highest price
paid for gas, as the following comparison will
show :
Pniladeiphia, per 1,000 cubic feet |2 25
New York, “ 2 50
London, “ ' 97
Paris, “ 1 29
Manchester, “ l 09
Glasgow, “ 1 21
Liverpool, “ 91
“It is obvious that we might improve the condi
tion of our gas supply, and reduce the very heavy
| bills our large cities pay for it. without devising any
new gas to burn ; but if any means whatever can
be employed to light us at half the rates we now
pay for this iudispenzibie necessity, let ua have
light upon, it, and have light cheap.”

tell you. These are the ingredients :
Beeswax j cz. ; English vermilion ljoz ; gum
shellac 2 oz.; rosiu 8 oz.
Take some cheap iron vessel that yea can al
ways keep for the purpose, put in the rosin and stir
in the vermilion. Then add the shellac, slowly,
aud stir that in, and afterward the beeswax. When
wanted for use at any time, set it on a slow fire and
melt it so you can dip bottle nozzles iu. Kecoliect
that the vermilion is only put in for the lock? of
the thing, and if you want to use it for any pur
pose where color is no object, as, for instance, in
sealing over wounds upon frees, you may leave
the color out. The ingredients for the above, bought
in this city, cost only 25 cents, for whioh, and a
little trouble, you can have three quarters of a
pound of good sealing wax for any common use.
For any purpose, such as an application to trees,
whore you want it tougher than the above propor
tions will make it, add a little more beeswax, and
leave out the vermilion.— N. Y. Tribune.
