Work to bo done*
The Democratic party will have a clear ma
jority of one hundred and thirty on joint ballot
in the Legislature which assembles atMillcdge-
ville to-morrow, and, with this large majority,
all of good or evil that is done will be charge
able to that organization.
Tha Session, by the Constitution, is limited
to forty days—ample time to do all the work re
quired, but not time enough toengage in profit
less discussions upon measures which do not
and ought not to come within thescopc of State
legislation.
In rcmoddelling the Supreme Court—in the
equalization of Tax laws—Internal Improve
ments—Banks and Banking, and other highly
important topics, wo apprehend that the Gen
eral Assembly may profitably occupy all the
time allotted to it, without branching out upon
National questions—these, we hope, will be
left to the consideration and management of
those to whom the people have properly en
trusted them.
We arc not unaware of the existence of a de
termination on the part of certain members of
the Opposition to commit (as they say,) the
Democracy, upon certain issues, which may or
may not arise, but by which our Opposition
friends fondly hope to divide, distract, and fi
nally break up the Democratic party, but we
rely with confidence on the tact, discretion and
ability of our party friends, to avoid and ward
ofTany effort of this kind.
Let the ambition of the Democratic party be
aroused and excited in behalf of Georgia—in
developing her vast mineral and agricultural
resources—in aiding her commercial and man
ufacturing interests—in fostering and cherish
ing an equable, just and practical educational
system—in perfecting her judiciary system—in
promoting her noble charities—in short, let the
Democratic party legislate for the State, and
leave National questions to the National As
sembly.
We do not mean by this to say that there
should bo any avoidance of or failure to meet
any emergent question upon which the rights
of our State may be involved, but that we
should not anticipate difficulties that may nev
er arise, or quarrel or divide on abstractions, or
get up a fight as to this or that candidate for
office, before the time come for th: exercise of
a choice.

Ex-Gov. McDonald, Ex-Gov. Johnson, and
the present incumbent, Hon. Alfred Iverson,
arc candidates for re-clection. We have had a

We urge our friends to stand by the nominee.
Dougherty’s Patent Safety Switch-
The first Switch of this pattern was laid last
w eek on tho Macon and Western Rail Road
near the Engine House, and at the request of
the patentee we went down to inspect its opera
tion. The invention confounds you by its per
fect simplicity and the unerring certainty wi Ji
which it not only performs all the functions of
a Railroad Switch, hut obviates all danger from
misplaocmcnt. By no possible mal-adjustmcnt
can a train be thrown off the track; it will go
over with hardly u perceptible jar, retaining its
direct course. It cannot leave the rail, no mat
ter what may have been tho negligence or mis
take of the switch-tender. "Tho contrivance
can he adapted to any number of crossings or
intersections with the samo absolute security of
operation, and afford a perfect safeguard against
all danger from misplacement, while it also an
swers with greater economy the uses of the com
mon switch. It is a great idea, and the wonder
is nobody never elaborated it before. It will
lie universally adopted so soon as tho railway
men comprehend its merits, and will save lives
and money in no small numbers and amounts
throughout the country. Mr. Dougherty has
several orders for them already on hand.
We append a description of the switch and
stand, both of which are patented:
The switch is composed of two flat bars of
wrought Iron, 10 feet long, 4 inches wide, 1)
thick, resting on a cast iron bar If inch thick,
with a flange cast on inside; this flange and
rail, when the switch is wrong, forms a gradual
groove, and brings the wheels smoothly on the
track at any speed, and is simple, easy to bo un
derstood.
The stand is similar in form to the one nowin
use, locking and unlocking the main pin by
means of an ceentric in the lever.
They arc simple, cheap, strong, and durable,
and can be used at as high speed as can be run
on any part of the road.

mie Brown’s plot prior to the month of May,1858,
and its exposition about that time to many and
probably all the master spirits of Black Repub
licanism in the country, including William II.
Seward, Charles Sumner, Horace Greeley, ,Sal
mon P. Chase and Amos Lawrence. The Her
ald's editorial gives a connected account and
a faithful summary of this correspondence;
which is voluminous, and taken up for the most
part with a detail of the writer’s gricvcnccs and
the destitution and misery of his family in con
sequence of tho frauds practiced upon him by
the Kansas Emigrant Aid Society, in refusing
to pay his salary. In the courscof this corres
pondence, the writer speaks of an interview
with Seward, in which he went fully into the
whole matter of Brown's project Also, a con
versation with John P. Hale, and of writing to
Horace Greeley; and the letter which goes into
a detail of Brown’s Harper Ferry Plot, dated
14th May, 1858, is directed to Dr. S. G. Howe,
of Boston, and prefaced with the following
memorandum:
Please show to Messrs. Sanborn, Lawrence,
Ac. Copies will be scut to Governor Chase,
who found money, and Govertior Fletcher, who
contributed anus, and to others interested as
quickly as possible.
From this letter we take the following para
graphs:—
As this must of necessity (for you may throw
it behind tlie fire unread) be sent to many abo
litionists, some of whom may be ignorant of
the details of the case, I will here recapitulate
a few essential points. When John Brown ap
plied to me last spring in the name of tho com
mittees and leading humanitarians, I answered,
as you arc well aware, tliat being on anti-slave
ry man, I would not stir merely to get “Kan
sas for irco white people,’’ and on his assuring
mo that he himself and the leading minds among
his associates had views similar to my own, 1
considered that the application being put upon
that basis, 1 ought to go. Brown could not then
discuss those details. We examined at Tabor
the respective merits of our plans.
forces’ flax.
Mine was as follows:—With carefully select
ed colored and white persons to organize along
the Northern slave frontier (Virginia and Mary
land especially) a series of stampedes of slaves,
each one of which operations would carry off
in one night and from the same place some twen
ty to fifty slaves; this to lie cfTectcd once or
twice a month, and eventually once or twice a
week along noncontiguous parts of the line ; if
possible without conflict, only resorting to force
if attacked. Slave women, accustomed to field
labor, would lie nearly as useful as men. Eve
rything being in readiness to pass oil the fugi
tives, they could be sent with such speed to
Canada that pursuit would he hopeless. In
Canada preparations were to he made for their
instruction and employment Any disaster
wiiich might befal a stampede would at the ut
most compromise those only who might be en
gaged in that single one; therefore we were not
bound in good faith to the abolitionists (as wc
did not jeopardise that interest) to consult more
than those engaged in this very project Against
the chance of loss by occasional accidents should
be weighed the advantages of a series of suc-
power; but such things, if permitted to be
done by individuals for private gain, constitute
ne by i
brigandage; the robbery of comrades is. how
ever, the worst of all pillage. I remonstrated a-
gainst the engagement of that person, but B.
told me he had already done it—his admiration
for the desperate feat effaced every other feeling.
BROWS TO BE STOPPED ASD DISARMED.
For these and many other reasons I call on
you and your associates to stop li. and to take
from him your anus, &c. 1 have n right to
exact this, and I do exact it. To your asser
tion that to stop B. I would denounce and be
tray. I echo what the abolitionists here say,
that if you do not, by taking from him your
arms, See., stop him, you betray them, for this
concerns tho abolitionsits, and they have a
right to be heard.
COTTON SPECULATIONS TO BE PREVENTED
It has been written that there is nothing
new under the sun. The proverb is wrong;
you have laid down a uew doctriue, viz : he
who stops a traitor, and so prevents his trea
son, betrays. Notwithstanding the new rule,
I rejieat that 11. & Co. shall not speculate on
therise in cotton. Some may say, “Why not
let them moke a little money, it won’t barm
the cause.’’ I say it will, because prudence
may demand that the initiative bo unexpect
edly hurried forward; or it mny be essential
that it be deferred some weeks, or even
months; but speculation necessitates that the
panic seize the market exactly on the precon
certed day; therefore, to manufacture that
fraudulent rise tho-ultimate success of tho
humanitarian move would without scruple bo
sacrificed. Not being a commercial man, the
full force of ll.’s proposal did not strike me till
I inquired, iu conversation, how Lawrence &
Co. could be so public spirited ns to advance
$37,000, and $8,000 to affect a tariff iu which
tbe wholo trade, and not thut firm alone, was
interested. Tho reply was, that to a house
having heavy speculations, it was well worth,
$100,000 to get within a certain time a change
of duties, which would cnablq tbe speculators
to realize five or ten times that amount.

From the Richmond Whig.
ORGANIZATION OF THE NEXT HOUSE.
Wc rejoice to observe the unanimity which
prevails among tho Southern opposition press
in favor of a union of tho opposition in the or
ganization of the nest House of Representa
tives. So far as we havo seen thero is not a
v °ice to the proposition in 1 lie ranks correspondence, that among the persons to
ot the party at the South. All perceive the i whom he denounced the Harper’s Ferrv project,
necessity ot electing to the Speakership a man : a year and a half ago, was Senator William H.
who will not pack the committees, with the Sev ----- -
ig as May,
ly that which has had such a miserable failure
at Harper’s Ferry. Forbes was too experi
enced a stager not to see the inevitable result
of such a ridiculous project, and much of his
correspondence that has fallen into our hands
is taken up with denunciations of Brown’s era
zy idea, and of appeals to the leading republi
cans to stop Brown, or to denounce him.
M It appears beyond all peradventure, by this
•ndence, that among the persons to
Then the whole cotton scheme re-appeared

should be commenced, brought to my mind ln S . ,n dc P th and intensity of its blind
other reflections. This ininuitous sneculation partisan bigotry, and it assumes to speak for
view to a suppression of investigation into the
enormous frauds and abuses which have char
acterized the history of the present adminiis-
tration ; and, consequently, the eutire South
ern opposition party cordially favor the idea of
a union among the opposition members of Con
gress—North and South—for the purpose of
electing suitable persons to the various offices
of House, and especially to tho important and
responsible office of Speaker. In the judg,
menl of the Southern opposition no democrat-
whether from the North or South, should, under
any circumstances, he permitted to occupy the
position of Speaker of the next House of Rep
resentatives. In their opinion none but a mem
ber of one or the other wings of the opposition
should be elected to fill that office at the pres
ent time. And thus thinking, there can occur
noOiing to justify or excuse a single opposition
member of Congress from die South in giv
ing his supjnrrl to a democrat for Speaker, or
in withholding his support from any opposition
member who may be designated by the united
opposition as their candidate for the post.
As a Southern man, sincerely and devoted
ly attached to Southern institutions and South
ern rights, and yet unshaken in our ardent
devotion to tho union of the States, we affirm
now, as wo have affirmed before, tliat not even
inquisitorial tortures could force us into tho
support of either a Northern or n Southern
democrat for the Speakership of the next House
of Representatives. We affirm now, ns we
have affirmed before, that ns a patriot and as
an honest man, who cannot and will not con
nive at tho corruption which has been practis
ed under the present profligate and detestable
administration, we should vote witii all
ROLDNESS AND WITH ALL COBUIALITT FOR THE
VERT BLACKEST Of THE BLACK REPUBLICANS
for Speaker in preference to any demo
crat whatever. On this ground we take
our stand, aud on this ground we shall continue
to stand in spite of all the wailings and bowl
ings of all the democratic demagagues on
earth or in tlie regions of their father, his sable
majesty of the realms of darkness.
The foregoing is from the leading Opposi
tion print in the Southern States. It is start-
other reflections. This iniquitous speculation
in human blood for the njere greediness of
dollars shall somehow be stopped—though you
coolly tell me that if I stop it 1 betray, because
I will not let certain persons betray. To the
abolitionists I say—You must yourselves unite
together and stop it, and to the colored people
I say—If you rise at the call of New England
humanitarians, you will shed your blood for
the sole benefit of New England speculators,
partisan bigotry, and it assumes to speak for
the entire Southern Opposition ! Does it truly
speak their sentiments ? Will the two Oppo
sition members from Georgia “vote with all
boldness and cordiality for the very blackest
of the Black Republicans for Speaker in pref
erence to any democrat.whatevert”
This was the next Presidential programme
laid down by a -distinguished speaker and rap-
Seward. He had an interview with that Sena
tor in Washington city, in May, 1S58; and, as
appears by one of his letters, he went fully in
to the whole matter. Again, he had interviews
with Sumner and Hale, also in Washington;
and, in fact, it appears that all the leading re
publicans and abolitionists of the country were
fully cognizant of tho plans of Brown, and, if
they did not actually identify themselves with
him, they did not denounce him to the author
ities. On the contrary, they kept him furnish
ed with money and arms, and carried on cor
respondence with him.
Forbes' letters show another thing. They sho
that it was not alone a feeling of philanthropy
nor even a political motive, that led these Ne

as traitors to the South! Virginia, too, uuder
the lead of the Richmond Whig, had sounded
the alarm against democratic treason to the
South as impersonated in John Letcher. Ten
nessee has just emerged from a violent party
straggle of tlie same character—the Opposi
tion masquerading as a Southern Rights party,
aud all harping on the treason of Douglas and
tho National Democracy to this section. The
smoke of the contest has not blown away in
what ? Speculation in the rise of cotton liad more
to do with the Harper’s Ferry outbreak thun all
other causes combined. The correspondence
placed that beyond a'doubt. Old Brown told Forbes
that a member of the house of Lawrence, Stone &
Co. (celebrated for the $87,000 free wool move
ment in Congress, a few years ago) had promised
him $8,000 if be succeeded in his Harper’s Ferry
dash. Bat Forbes, like a blunt soldier who had
gone into the thing as a military speculation sole
ly could not understand making a commcrcia
speculation out of it; and so ho denounced the pro,
jeet as bitterly and obstinately as old Dolgctty*
himself could lmve done.
The main thing proved by this correspondence,
is, that for the last ycar and a half, at least, the
project of the Harper's Ferry outbreak was well
known to Seward, Sumner, Hale and others, and
that they, iu their intense selfishness, and to for
ward their political or commercial speonlations,
suffered the project to ripen and to bear the dis
astrous fruit that it has borne. They—not tlie
crazy fanatic—John Brown—are the real culprits;
and it is they, not he, who, if justice were fairly
meted out, would hare to grace the gallows.

FIRST DAY.
Charleston, Va., Oct. 25.—Tho prelimi

Magistrates occupied the Bench: Col. Daven

H. Lewis and Moses W. Burr.
At half-past ten o'clock, the Sheriff was di

ducted from the jail under a guard of eighty
armed men. A guard was also stationed u-
round the CourtHouse, and bayonets are brist

county, is assigned by Andrew Hunter. Esq.,
counsel for the Commonweatb.
The prisoners were brought in. Gen.

with his eyes swollen from the effects of the
wounds on his head. Coppee is uninjured.
Stevens ices injured than Brown, but looked

of age, and Green, who is about thirty yeare
of age, is a dark negro.
Sheriff Campbell read the commitment of

Genij-fjien,—I havo tho honor to acknowl
edge the receipt of your kind note inviting me
to be present at Macon on Wednesday the 2Gth
inst, to witness the interesting ceremonies con
nccted with the erection of a monument in hon
or of tlie late CapL Isaac Holmes, which is
reared in accordance with a joint resolution of
tho General Assembly of this State; the citi
zens of Macon, her Volunteer Corpo, mxl the
Masonic fraternity, at their own request, being
permitted to participate with the State in de
fraying tho expense of this well merited tribute
to her gallant son.
It is with sincere regret that I am compelled
from press of official business incident to the
near approach of the coming session of the le
gislature, to forego the pleasure of uniting with
you in tho solemn ceremonies of this interest
ing occasion.
The signal military services rendered the
countiy by CapL Isaac Holmes havo justly em-
balmotl his memory in the hearts of his coun
trymen. Tho hardships and privations to which
he and his gallant comrades were subjected in
tho almost interminable swamps and morasses
of Florida in pursuit of a savage foe accustom
ed to sucii retreats, arc still fresh in the recol
lection of the people of Georgia. His gallant
bearing in’thc service of his country in Mexico,
where ho lost his valuablh life, and tbe country
lost one of her bravest soldiers, is still the. sub
ject of merited praise, and of patriotic emo
tions in the bosoms of true hearted Americans.
It has been said that republics arc ungrate
ful. This may sometimes seem to be true,
while ho who merits gratitude, is still in life,
but it is far from true with regard to the memo
ry of departed patriots and heroes, who liave
been distinguished by their noble deeds. In
our happy country they “live in the beans of
tlioir 'countrymen,” though no lofty column
perpetuates their fame. 'The memory of the
gallant Holmes whoso name wo delight to hon

mourn, will live upon a bright page of histoiy

with some twenty-five to fifty (colored and white
mixed), well armed and bringing a quantity of
spare arms, to beat up a slave quarter in Vir
ginia. To this 1 objected, that no preparatory
notice having been given to the slaves (no notice
could, with prudence, he given them), the invi
tation to rise might, unless they were already
in a state of agitation, meet with no response,
or a feeble one. To this he replied that he was
sure of a response. He calculated tliat he could
get on the first night from 200 to 500. Half, or
thereabouts, of this first lot lie proposed to
keep with him, mounting 100 or so of them,
and make a dash at Harper’s Ferry manufactory,
destroying what he could not carry off " The
other men not of this party were to be subdivi
ded into three, four or five distinct parties, each
under two or three of the original band, and
would beat up other slaTequarters, whence
more men would be sent to join him.
A NORTHERN CONVENTION.
He argued that were he pressed by the United
States troops, which after a few days might
concentrate, he could easily maintain himself
in the Alleghanics, and that his New England
partisans would in (Tie meantime call a North
ern Convention to restore tranquillity and over
throw the pro-slavery administration. This, I
contended, could at most be a mere local explo
sion. A slave insurrection, being from the very
nature Of tilings deficient in men of education
and experience, would under such a system as
B. proposed, boeithera flash in the pan, or would
leap beyond his control or any control—when
it would become a scene of mere anarchy amt
would assuredly ho suppressed.
FOREIGN INTERVENTION. •
On the other hand Brown considered foreigu
intervention as not impossible. As to the dream
of a Northern Convention, I consider it as a to
tal fallacy. Brown's New England friends
would not have the courage to show themselves
Era. I went fully into tlie whole matter, in
all its hearings. He express#! regret that he
liad been told, and said that he in his position
ought not to have been informed of the circum
stances. In part I agree with him and in part
I differ. I regret that the misconduct of the
New Englanders should havo forced me to ad
dress myself to him; but being now enlighten
ed on the subject, he cannot well let this busi
ness continue in its present crooked condition,
instead of causing it to be “put straight,” both
as regards my chiklrcn’s situation rs well as
the cotton speculation of tho humanitarians.
Wc liave no words at present about this de
velopment. Let us wait and wafeh. Provi
dence is bringing about a grand exposure. A
deep and damning in&uiy is in prodKs of de
velopment, which pales tlie dark horror of any
crimc heretofore conceived in this countiy. A
storm is coming which shall purge or dismem
ber the Confederacy.
The Harper’s Ferry Trial
No new fact has been or probably will be de
veloped in this trial. A plea of insanity has
been brought in for Brown, which, however,
has been disdainfully rejected by the old man.
The Telegraphic correspondent of the New York
Herald, says:
John Copland, tlie yiulatfo prisoner, from
Ohcrlin, Ohio, has made a full confession to
United States Marshals, Martin, of Virginia, and
JuUuauit, ot the Northern district of Ohio. He
has given the nanics.of the parties at Obcrlin
who induced him to go to Harper's Ferry, who
furnished the money to pay his expenses, &c.
He also states that a movement of a similar
character was contemplated in Kentucky at
about the same time. Many persona in Northern

LET BROWS TRY.
My first thought after discovering Brown’s
complicity in the New England breach of faith
was—let him try. Though justly irritated at
the horrible treatment of my family, I did not,
till towards the end of April, utter a syllable,
oven to Mr. Sanborn, which might tend to check
tho supplies. I spoke to but one abolitionist
for some weeks alter my arrival here, and he
thought much as I did. On reconsidering the
matter with other abolitionist*, they advanced
such sound reasons that I conceived my first
impression to liave been erroneous, and they
say that B. must he stopped.
WltT BROWN SHOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED.
The more I reflect the more I become con
firmed in the opinion of the last named aboli
tionist : ’
1st Because a man who deviates from truth,
betrays his associate, ami ill treats a fricndlv
family, should not he trus(cd with any humani
tarian enterprise.
2d. Because Brown, with his bigoted mind
and limited instruction, has not the capacity
necessary to direct such an enterprise.
3d. Because the crude project which he and
his confederates have in their heads is not likc-
ald, was suggestive of tlie extensive ramilica-
tions of the plot, and conclusive us to the com
plicity therein of sucii abolitionists and black
money and influence in its behalf; and that when republicans as Joshua R. Giddings, of Ohio;, row morning. It is rumored that~Rrow*n”is

FERRY-DIFFICULTY.
Washington, OcL 25.—A letter from United
States Senator Mason (after due investigation
into the Harper’s Ferry difficulty,) says “there
was no insurrection in any form whatever on
the partofthc inhabitants of tliat town or vicin
ity. The fact is undoubted that not a man
biack or white, joined the invaders after they
came into Virginia or gave them aid or assis
tance in any form. So far os can lie discovered,
not one of tlie nineteen escaped—not a slave
escaped or attempted to escape during the tu
mult. Of the few carried olf by Cook, across
the river, all escaped from him and came safely
back, hut one, who, it appears, was drowned
while crossing the river homeward bound.
How the Slaves Received Brown’s
PROPOSITION. v-
A negro hoy, belonging .to Mr. Washington,
who was taken by the insurgents at tho time
his master was, when he reached tho Ferry was
offered a pike, whidi he refused, when one of
the insurgents told him that ho was free and
should fight the whites. Tho boy replied, “I
don’t know anything about being free; I was
free enough before you took Tne, and I’m not
going to fight until I sec Massa Lewis fighting,
and then I fight for him.” This boy was among
the prisoners in the engine house.’
MORE DISCLOSURES FROM HARPER’S

RY OF ABOLITIONISM. r
The conspiracy correspondence which we j Grand Jury retired with the ‘winesses for the

was taken. I did not ask to have my life
spared. The Governor of the State of Vir
ginia tendered me his assurance that I should
have a fair trial, and under no circumstances
whatever will I be able to attend to a trial. If
you seek my blood, you can have ft at any mo
ment without the mockery of a trial. . 1 have
had no counsel. I have not been able to ad
vise with any one. I know nothing about the
feelings of my fellow prisoners, and I am ut
terly unable to attend in any way to my own
defence. My memory don’t serve me. “My
health is insufficient, although improving.
There are mitigating circumstances, if a fair
trial is to be allowed vis, ^Iiat I would urge in
our favor, but if wc are to be forced, with tlie
mere form of a trial to execution, you might
spare yourselves that trouble. I am ready
for my fate. I do not ask a trial. I beg for
no mockery of a trial—no insult, nothing but
that which conscience gives or eowardice would
drive you to .practice. I ask to be excused
from the mockery ot a trial. I do' not know
what the design of this examination is. I do
not know what is to be the benefit of it to the
Commonwealth? I hare now little to ask
other than that I be not foolishly insulted, as
the cowardly and barbarous insult those who
fall into their power.”
’The Court assigned Charles' J. Faulkner and
Lawson Botts 03 counsel for the prisoner.
After consulting with the prisoners, Mr.
Faulkner addressed the Court. He said that
he denied the right of the Court to assigu
counsel for the prisoners, and that he could
not, undet any circumstances, enter upon the
defence of these prisoners on such short notice,
as it woujd indeed be a mockery of justice.
Mr. Botts said lieaid not feel it his duty to
decline the appointment of the Court.
The preliminary examination being conclu
ded, the Court remanded the prisoners for trial
before the Circuit Court.
The examination to-day was merely to see
whether the ’Charges are of sufficent impor
tance to go before the Grand Jury. To-mor-
morrow the Jury will report the bill, and tbe
case will then be immediately called for trial.
There is an evident intention to hurry the
trial through and execute the prisoners as soon
as possible, fearing attempts to rescue them.
In the case of servile insurrection, thirty days
are not required between conviction and exe
cution, as in other capital convictions.

of the old (maxim about the effect of thieves
falling out A certain Hugh Forbes—familiar
ly known as Col. Forbes—an old comrade of
Garibaldi’s in 1848, and since then a refugee in

Dugald Dalgctty principle, to ga to Kansas a
couple of years since, to co-opcratc with Ossa-
tives aud intentions, through the press, but
the Court has refused all further access jp him
by reporters, fearing that he may put forth
something calculated to influence the public
mind, and to have a bad effect upon slaves.

who keeps a canal lock says he came to her

SnoE Business of Lvnn, Mass.—A corres
pondent of one of tho Boston papers writes thus:
The shoo business—and consequently all Oth- his hand. On tlio contrary, he devised a plan
and Brown pulled together well enough for
some months, until there came.to lie a misun
derstanding in regard to tlie pay and provender.
Forbes appealed from Brown to tho general ab
olition commissariat in this region, but found
that he was doomed to be cheated all round.—
Greeiey fell hack ou the strict letter of the law,
and pleaded tliat he was not hound by Forbes’
contract with Brown. Sankora, who was the
Secretary or the Massachusetts Emigration Aid
Society, and Howe, a well known Abolitionist of
Boston, kept paltering with Forbes until, in the
words of-one of his own letters, his family’s
credit was stopped at the French or Italian res
taurant where thoy used to get (Jieir meals.—
Forbes became indignant against Brown and
tho humanitarians, as lie styles them, and de
nounced them all in pretty round terms. But
still the troubles of bis family did not wean him
altogether from tho work to which ho bad lent

Cook, five have escaped, twelve were killed,
and five captured, making twenty-two in all.
Beyond a doubt the trial will commence to
morrow morning, although much difficulty is
anticipated in obtaining a jury.
Capt. Brown’s object in refusing the aid of
counsel is, that if he has counsel lie will not be
altowed to speak himself, and Southern coun
eel will not he willing to express his views.
The reason given for hurrying tbe trial is
tliat the people of the whole country are kept
in a state of excitement, and a large armed
force is required to prevent attempts at rescue.
