speech to them. Col Washington speaks of

and that he would have to die. When the door
was broken down, one of his men exclaimed,

out, “There’s one surrenders—-give him quar

at the door.
During tlio previous night he spoke freely

Jurisdiction ofprisoners settled—List of hill
ed and wounded rebels.
Harper’s Ferrt, Oct 19.—The prisoners ta
ken in tho late conflict with the insurgents at
this'place, have boon committed to the jail of
Charlestown, Jefferson county, Vk, to await the
action of the Grand Jury. They will bo indict
ed and tried in a few days. Tho arrangement
about the jurisdiction has been settled in this
way; the local authorities to try the prisoner*
fur murtlir, meanwhile the United States au-
ihori ties Will proceed to try them on the charge
of treason. Gov. AViso said to United States
District Attorney, Ould, that he had no objec
tion to the General Government proceeding
against the prisoners, if anything ho left of
them by the time the Virginia authorities get
through with them.
Brown is bettor. He has made a fuller state
ment, in which he says that he rented the farm,
on which hi* nmlnmiu waa located, from Dr.
Kennedy, six months since, and that he has
paidChc rent for it until next March. He says
that lie never liad more than 22 men at the
farm at any one time, who belonged to his or
ganization ; but that be bad good reason to ex
poet reinforcements from Maryland, Kentucky,
North and South Carolina, and tho Canadas.
He states further, that he had arms and ammu
nition sufficient for 1,500 men; that lio liad 200
revolvers, 200 Sharpe's rifles, and 1,000 spears,
which to* left there at the farm, where he
bad, also, an abundance of powder and fixed
ammunition. Ho brought all his arms, from
time to time, from Connecticut and other points
in the Eastern States, to Chambersburg, Pa.
They were directed to J. Smith & Sons, (his
assumed name,) Kcnnady Farm, and were pack
ed in double boxes, so as to deceive the parties
who iiaridlcd them in transporting them to the
farm. He says he made ono mistake in cither
not detaining the train on Sunday night, or in
permitting it to go on unmolested. This mis
take he seems to infer, exposed his doings too
eoon, and prevented Iris reinforcements from
reaching him.
Tlic names of all his party at the Forry on
Sunday night, cxeept three white mon, whom
Brow n admits were sent away on an errand,
are as follows, with their proper titles under
the provisional government affixed: Gen. John
Brown, Commandcr-in-Chief, wounded, but will
recover; Capt Oliver Brown, dead; Capt Wat
son Brown, dead; Cant Aaron C. Stephens, of
Connecticut, woundod badly, has three balls in
his body, and cannot po«sIbly survive; Lieut

of Congress of the Provisional Government
some time since; Lewis Leary, of Ohio, (raised

Mr. Ould also left for Washington last even
ing, thus virtually leaving the prisoners in the
hands of the Virginia authorities.
It is said that Gov. Wise was not very com
plimentary to the people of Harper’s Ferry, im
puting to them cowardice, in allowing such a
handful of men to hold a population of nearly
two thousand inhabitants as prisoners for twen
ty-four hours. lie also s]>okc of the fact of
eight or ten men keeping forty or fifty citizens
in confinement One replied: “Well, Gover
nor, but you must remember, that they were
packed together like sheep." His reply was
“Yes, I know that, but I must say, I think yo
acted like sheep also.”
The hearing of the case before the examin
ing court of justice will probably take place
to-morrow, when the prisoners will probably
be removed to Wytheville for trial.
Capt Brown is not considered in any dan
ger from bis wounds, though Stevens will not,
it is thought survive; he. however, has a pow
erful constitution, and may recover.
Washiroton, Thursday, Oct. 20,1850.
District Attorney Ould and Col. Lee have
returned from Harper’s Ferry. TTie former,
soon after his arrival, had a conference with
the President and the latter a loDg interview
with the Secretary of War.
United States Marshal Johnson of Ohio,
now here, says that one of the parties engaged
with Brown was prominent in tbe Oberlin res

Gov. Wise, in tho course of conversation
with Old Brown, told him he had bettor be
prepai log for death, to which Brown responded
that he (the Governor), though he might live
fittccn years, would liavc a good deal to an
swer for at least, and had better bc preparing
now too. A writer in The Baltimore Exchange
gives the following account of tlic personal ap
pearance of the insurgents:
Old Brown, tho leader, is a small uian, with
white head and beard, and cold-looking grey
eyes. When not speaking his lips are com
pressed, and he has the appearance of a most
determined man. His two sons (one dead)
were strikingly alike in their personal appear
ance. Each about five feet eleven inches high
with spare visage, sallow complexion,' sunken
eyes, and dark hair and beard. The beard
was sparse and long, and their hair long and
matted. The wounded man is of undoubted
courage, and from bis cold, sullen manner, one
would suppose did not dsk for or desire sym
pathy. Anderson, mortally wounded, is tall,
black haired, and of dark complexion. His
appearanco is indicative of desperate resolu
tion. Although suffering the most intense
agony from the wound in the abdomen, be did
not complain, or ask for auy favor, and the
only evidence he gave of suffering was occa

“Before I went to America I had heard
much of American natural scenery; I confess
I was sadly disappointed when I came to toe
it myself. I have traversed the country from
the colonial dependence of her most gracious
Majesty, iu Canada, to tho Rocky Mountains,
and I saw nothing that could be called worthy
of the artist’s or poet’s observation. It is true
that Canada has some charming scenery, which
lias been much improved by British taste and
art—the natural consequence of the refine
ment mid cultivation of tho inhabitants, but
whenever one crosses into the States, the coun
try exhibits either wild forests or naked prai-
ri«3, both of which arc dangerous to travel
through, in consequence of the quantities of
voracious animals they contain. A distin
guished member of tlic United States Parlia
ment informed me that a railroad train last
year was attacked by a drove of raccoons while
crossing a prairie, and every passenger des
troyed . These raccoons are the terrror of this
wild country, and have depopulated thousands
of miles of its surface.”

Columbus, Oct. 17,1857.
Mr. Editor:—I find that the impression gen
erally prevails that all the “Bank Cases,” that
is, the suits and claims of the billholders of the
broken Banks at this place, have been settled.
This is a mistake. The facts are these :—
Last Summer during the session of the Su
preme Court, at Macon, a compromise was ef
fected and the terms agreed on, so far as the
liability of the Stockholders and Directors cf
the Planters & Mechanic’s Bank, of Columbus,
were concerned. That arrangement itself, has
not been, as yet, fully carried out; but it is
being done; and it is believed will be consum
mated soon. When that is done, it will not
extend to any other Bank, nor embrace any
other liability than that of the Stockholders
and Directors of that particular Bank to pay
its debts. The amount to be received will not
discharge the debts ago : nst that Bank
creditor retains the balance of his claim and
has reserved the right of proving the assets of
the Bank for its satisfaction which he is now
doing and for which suits are pending. There
is the Chattahoochee Rail Road & Banking
Company, the old Bank of Columbus, the
Bank of St. Marys and the Manufacturers &
Mechanic's Bank, whese outstanding liabilities
amount to some two or three hundred thousand
dollars, and for the portion in bills the Stock
holders are made liable by their respective char
ters, except the Bank of St. Marys; which i.re
not embraced in nor in any manner affected ay
the arrangement or compromise before alluded
to. Many of the holders of these claims are
pressing their collection; suits are pending
against the Stockholders or Directors of mest
if not all of these Banks, and the rights and li
abilities of the parties are yet to be adjusted
by the Courts.
I have deemed it not only just to the parties
immediately interested, but also due to tie
public, that the erroneous impressions which
seem to prevail on this subject should be coi-
rected; and respectfully ask the liberty cf
doing so through the columns of your paper.
Very Respectfully,
Yours, &c.,
W. DOUGHERTY.
For the Georgia Telegraph.
Aii Enterprise forftlaeon.
Mh. Editor:—Every important County in
Georjpa, as well as in other States, and every
Towri or City alpiost in the Union, thriving as
Macon, has an Agricultural and Mechanical.
Fair, at least once each year, by which its wealth
and prosperity is materially enhanced. It is a
matter of great surprise that there is no siich
thin ; here, or rather, that our people have-’so
long neglected the enterprise. These exhibi
tion} are not only a benefit to the particular lo
calities wherein they arc held, but of great
value likewise to the surrounding countiy.—
Knowledge is power, and how can a knowledge
of what is going on in the world of agriculture,
Cctton raising, improved Machinery, Sic., bc
so well diffused as by an attractive display of
the fruits thereof in some favored spot. Its
value can scarcely bc over-estimated, for it would
bring hundreds of strangers to our city, infuse
r ew energy into every department of business,
f.nd reveal the progress and perfection attained
'.hroughout the country in the development of
the manifold resources of Georgia.
Considerable has been said recently, of an
exhibition in December, of samples of foreign
articles used in the South, the latest improve
ments and largest varieties of machinery, &c.,
such a display may be made of great practical
value to Macon and Ticinity; but to it should bc
added specimens of home products, Agricultur
al and Mechanical Above all, the right sort of
steps should be at once taken to render such
exhibitions permanent—a fixture of Macon, in
brief, an institution which would if properly
managed, stimulate business to the extent of
several thousands of dollars every year. By
this simple expedient, the attention of the whole
State would in a short time be so thoroughly
centered upon Macon, that the principal plan
ters and farmers in the South would look upon
our city as the headquarters for the acquirement
of information, and contributors to Fairs, send
their products here in preference to any other
place. No farther jealousy need be felt towards
Atlanta for monopolising the State Fair. Let
that go ; our unrivalled position, added to the
spirit of the people, would in a couple of years
leave all competitors in the back ground. Our
central location, contiguity to the richest Cotton
growing districts and facilities of communica
tion with every portion of Georgia and the
South,, advantages not tobc slighted are, and if
rightly used, can bc made to outrival every
other city for the purposes of an exhibition like
that proposed. The talked of Fair for Decem
ber ought to be taken hold of at once, and with
such energy that its success would be secured
beyond peradventure.
It requires only a little activity to bring about
these results. Our merchants will give liberal
ly to the enterprise, and a few well directed ef
forts will do the work. MACONIAN.

Letter irom a Friend.
Columbus, Oct. 20,1859.
Friend Clisby,—I feel like dropping you a
line in regard to this city; for I know you will
rejoice to hear of her prosperity. As I walk
its streets I am struck with, the hustle of busi
ness; and signs of improvement meet my eye
on every hand. Columbus surely Is looking up.
First of aft, I noticed the rumbling of cars
near the grave-yard, and I found that the Ope
lika and Muscogee roads arc now united and
have one Depot I observed, also, the newly
constructed cofier dams, for building the piers
of the new Rail Road. Bridge, by which the
Mobile and Girard train will cross to Georgia.
This bridge will bc finished some time next
year. Speaking of bridges, the new bridge that
spans the beautiful Chattahoochee, near the
Coweta Falls Factory, is not only an ornament
but an immense convenience. The view from
it is splendid. Our city fathers were compelled
by its ercctioB to make the lower bridge a free
one; for the down-towners were afraid the up-
towners would receive too many cotton bales,
and-witness the opening of too many fat purses.
The upper bridge, you must know, is a free one.
The lower town, however, is soon to boast
of an excellent Hotel Rankin has erected, on
Broad street, not far from the Court House, a
Hotel, soon to be opened under the supervision
of Cook, of Eufaula, who is said to bo a capital
caterer. Many new and large stores have iateiy
been opened in Columbus for the accommoda
tion of country and city customers. It might
appear invidious to mention names.
One thing struck me, the number of cotton
bales unhoused: I found the reason to be want
of storage room. This, however, will soon be
obviated. Maffitt has erected a new warehouse,
near the Muscogee Depot, which has been taken
by Gray & Greenwood. Hughes & Daniel will
soon more into their old quarters and bo ready
to receive their numerous friends. The Alaba
ma warehouse will also soon bc rebuilt and oc
cupied; and I understand that Bass* Co. mean
to pull down the Oglethorpe and erect a new
and handsome warehouse. Colurubus will- then

say. Yes, and clever men to guard the interest

was mightiy amused with Johnny, as he call
ed the Japanese, and the feeling was mutual,
judging from the hearty laughs of the porters,
priests and policemen, at the pantomime by
which our men strove to make their wants un
derstood. On one occasion, turning a corner
rather abruptly, we found a jolly foretopman
explaining by signs that he wanted something
to pour down his throat that would make him
dance, whereupon he cut a double-shuffle and
reeled about tnc yard. Johnny perfectly un
derstood and repcatc'd the performance. Jack’s
broad faee beamed with delight. “Yes, that's
it, grog! Como bear a hand my fine fellow !”
ho exclaimed ; and in anticipation of his want
being quickly supplied, bo expressed, in the
strongest vernacular, his high approval of the
Johnnies in general. Happily for the John
nies, we arrived in time to stay further pro
ceedings, and sending for Ycnoske, the inter
preter, wc made him explain that Jack upon
watcifand Jack upon tea, was as harmless as
a baby; but that Jack iu a state of grog was
simply an infuriated Briton, an animal likely
to mar the domestic happiness of all within tho
temple enclosure, and very certain to break
the peace. “Ah,” said Yenoskc—“ah, all the
same as drunken Dutch sailor.” Worse, we
asserted, than fifty Dutchmen.” “All the
same one tiger,” suggested Yeuoske, looking
very serious. Wo told him that tigers the
worse for liquor could not bc more trouble
some. Whereupon Yenoske explained to his
countrymen tho effects of grog upon our men
in such strong terms, that neither for lore nor
money could they get any thing stronger than

While on that subject, I may mention that

in a quiet way, to obtain possession of valuable
city lots. But a rise in city property is to bc
