Troubles at Harper’s Ferry.
In our telegraph columns will be found all the
news we hare received from the recent scene of
disorder. The disturbance has been quelled, and
the insurgents will be properly attended to.
A Military Ruse—A Midnight Attack.
“ ’Tis the s*ldier’g life.
To have his balmy si umbers waked with strife."
Those of our citizens who were in Broad or
Green streets, about eleven o’clock Tuesday night,
were surprised to observe one of our volunteer
companies, in fatigue dress “ou their winding
way” to the upper portion of the city. What
could be the occasion for this unusual movement?
Could it be that the gallant Rifles were on their
way to take Harper’s Ferry, and put a stop to the
riotious proceedings at that highly interesting
point of the Old Dominion ? or could it be a detach
ment from the Independent Volunteer battalion
deputed to seize the cannon at the Arsenal for the
use of the artillery ; or—but it is useless to sur
mise longer, for by. this time the company had
reached the residence of Capt. C. A. Platt, on
Green street; and now came the “tug of war.’’
Before them lay the fortress, enveloped in the
gloom of night, its inmates all unconscious of the
impending foray. The “serried ranks” of the
beleaguers are drawn up in “battle array;” the
orders of the commander pass silently along the
line, an I at the given signal the batteries are opened
most effectually upon the object of attack. No
deafening roar is heard, no blindingflash is emitted,
no deadly missile is hurled against the opposing
bastians, no sulphurious odor taints the pure clear
atmosphere; but
Music arose with its voluptous swell.”
The gallant Captain understood the language of
the brazen instruments as forth from their throats
poured the delightful melody, softly streaming up
on the midnight air—with that correctness and me
lodiousness which mark the music of the Augusta
Brass Band :
“ Music!—O, how faint, how weak,
Language fades before thy spell !
Why should feeling ever speak
When thou cans'! breathe her soul so well ?
Friendship’s balmy words may feign,
Love's are e’en more false than they ;
Oh! its only music’s strain
Can sweetly soothe, and not betray!”
The assault was complete; the lights gleamed at
the casements; the flag of truce was displayed;
and a very short armistice granted. The command
er of the fortres had nothing to do now but to
capitulate, which he did in a most creditable man
ner. The victors were invited within the hospitable
walls, and in a short tune the whole party—
“ Mingles with the bowl.
The feast of reason and the flow of soul.”
Numerous and pleasant the toasts fly around
the social board; while the Captain and his amiable
bride, are made the subject of go„d wishes by all
concerned. The charge upon the good things pro
vided for the occasion, was, doubtless, a kind of
Balaklava affair, and only a slight intimation of
what the Clinch Rifles would do, if a real enemy
should present itself.
This part of the attack being complete, the com
pany withdrew ; and after a few more “airs,” de
lightfully “put on” by the Biass Band,and a “very
well sung” song, or two—in which Messrs. C-
Dat, J. Bridges, Parkyn, of the Rifles, and a
young gentleman who volunteered on the occa
sion, took part, with credit to themselves, and ren
dered the sentimental song, the “Parting” in an
agreeable style—the besieging party retired from
the field of battle, fully saiisfied with the events
of the night.

All of a Tremble.— The Secretary of one of our
Insurance companies not long since advertised
for a book-keeper, and|received)iu response the fol
lowing letter, which is so original and business
like, that we are permitted to copy it, as a guid#
to other applicants for similar situations. The
writer thoughtfully enclosed a leaf cut from an old
account book, as a sample ot his work. Either the
applicant is an original genius, or a wag of the
first water: „

Americas (Ga.) Republican, Oct. 14.
A Sandwich Island Newspaper.
We are indebted to Adams Express Company
| for a copy of the Polynesian, a weekly newspaper,
| published at Honolulu, Oahu, Hanaii Islands,
i The reception and perusal of this journal awaken
• Btrange but pleasing reflections in the mind of the
reader. It is one of the “signs of the times,” show
ing the marked improvement of the age, and fur
nishing interesting evidence of the mutations
transpiring in the political world around us.
The group of Islands known as the Sandwich, or
Hawaiian islands, were discovered by Capt. Cook,
in 1778, at which time each island had a ruler of
its own. Subsequently, they became united, and
j were consolidated under the government of one
j King Kamkhahaha. His son, who succeeded
J him, in 1819, abolished idolatry. In 1855, or ’6, we
believe, Alexander LmoNmo 4 was King; and, if we
are not mistaken, the present King is Kamehama
ha 111. The soil is represented as better adapted
to grazing than to agriculture, though fine wheat
is raised; while the valleys produce coffee, sugar,
cotton, tobacco, cocoa, arrow-root, mulberries,
yams, (a tropical esculent), sweet potatoes, and
taro. The climate is represented as gener
ally mild and salubrious; but the population
has decreased very rapidly since the discovery of
the islands. At that time it was estimated at four
hundred thousand, or probably three hundred
thousand ; in 1823, it was one hundred and forty
thousand; in 1832, one hundred and thirty thousand
three hundred and fifteen; in 1836, one hundred
and eight thousand five hundred and seventy
nine ; in 1850, eighty-four thousand one hundred
and sixty-five; and in 1853, only seventy-two
thousand nine hundred and sixty-four—of which
one thousand eight hundred and fifty-six were
foreigners.
A number of the natives have been carried off
by whaling ships, as also by small-pox, measles,
whooping-cough, and similar diseases. The islands
are a very convenient stopping place for vessels
engaged in the whaling trade; and the port of Ho
nolulu, in the island of Oahu, affording an excel
lent harbor, enjoys a brisk trade with these ships.
An authority describes this city as being “ about
half a mile long and a quarter of a mile broad,
consisting of one good street and a number of nar.
row, irregular alleys. Most of the houses are
built in the native fashion; but there are also many
substantial edifices in the European style, enclosed
with small gardens of exotic and indigenous or
namental plants.” “ The population is about six
thousand.”
The Polynesian is a very fair looking sheet,
and has much the appearance of our country papers.
It is in the eighteenth No. of its sixteenth vol.,
and is published weekly—Chas. Gordon Hopkins,
Editor. On the first page is a number of business
cards and foreign advertisements, among which
we fiud but few Hawaiian or Chinese sounding
names; most of the merchants and business men
appear to be Americans or English. Even the
Government officers have very familiar names;
thus: A. K. Clark, Pos t Master General; John
E. Barnard, Clerk Supreme Court; W. .C. Park,
Marshal H. I. W. H. Pease and J. F. Collum, As
sessors for the Honolulu Dist; W. F. Jourdan,
Constaole; J. H. Brown, Acting Marshal ;S.
Spencer, Chief Clerk to the Minister of the Inte
rior, Ac. On this page, also, are a number of
“houses to let,” “a plantation for sale,” Ac. The
hotels are the Commercial, the National, the Hotel
de France, the White Horse, and the Black Horse ;
besides which are two Restaurants : the German
Ocean, and the Joe Roderick’s. This page aiso
contains two columns of news.
On the second page is a leader on the decline o!
the native population. Then, we have an assur'
ance that the Queen’s Hospital is coming more
into favor with the natives; while the Royaj
school, in which the Euglish language is taught
is steadily increasing; and that it is the intention
of the Board of Education to erect similar schools
in all the principal islands. On the same page we
find foreign and domestic news, communications,
commercial, and ship news.
On the third page we find a little more ship news,
advertisements, and a Whalemen’s List. The
death of Mr. John Hammond Kaauwaepaa, a mem
ber of the legislature from the Honolulu district,
is announced in that city, August 23th. The Hon
olulu Rifles, of which John H. Brown i 3 Captain,
and F. C. Kruger, Orderly Sergeant, is notified at
what times regular drills of the company will take
place. The Catholic Association, of which God
frey Rhodes is Secretary, is uotified that the .regu
lar meeting of the Association will take place the
day following (Sunday evening). Ch. F. Berg
gives notice of his intention to leave the island.
Several legal advertisements also appear on this
page.
On the fourth page we find poetry and miscella
neous reading ; a post office notice, in which the
names of the different post offices and postmasters
are given ; general advertisements; table of post
ages to foreign countries; and the Honolulu prices
current. Here are found, also, the cards of Le
Progres de l’Oceanie Lodge, No. 124, A. F. and A
M., under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Grand
Council of the Grand Central Lodge of France,
signed J. Sleeper, Secretary; the card of Hawai
ian Lodge, No. 21, F. and A. M., under the juris
diction of the M. W. Grand Lodge of California,
signed A. Fornandsr, Secretary; and the card of
Honolulu Royal Arch Chapter, under dispensation
of the General Grand Chapter of the United States.
We presume that there must be also, an Odd Fel
lows’ Lodge as we see an editorial notice of the ice
cream saloon of Messrs.JSMiTH A Pickering, “next
door above the Odd Fellows’ Hall.”
The copy of the Polynesian, a summary of the
contents of which we have given übove, is dated
September 3d, 1859. The terms are not men
tioned.

who had been negotiating for her for some time
past. The Collector of the port sent out a steamer
with Mr. Lamar, and others on board, to capture
her; but they returned unsuccessful.
Add itional from Harper’s Ferry—The Pay
Office not robbed—Several parties Im
plicated—Fetters and Documents found.
Washington, Oct. 19. — At Harper’s Ferry a 1
noonlto-day, no signs of the fugitives bad been dis
covered.
The Chambersburg and Bedford rangers were
searching the mountains.
Yesterday morning a detachment of the marines
and volunteers visited Brown’s house and found
a large quantity of blankets, boots, shoes, clothes,
tents, and fifteenjiundred pikes with long blades
affixed, together with a carpet bag containing docu
ments which throw a good deal of light upon the
affair. There was in the carpet bag a printed Con
stitution and by-laws of the organization, show
idg or indicating ramifications in the various
States of the Union.
The letters were from various individuals at tha
North, and one of them was from Fred Douglass,
containing ten dollars from a lady; there was also
one from Geritts Smith about money matters,
and a check or draft by him for one hundred dol
lars, endorsed by a cashier of a New York bank,
the name not recollected. All of these are in
posession of Gov. Wise, who has issued a procla
mation offering one thousand dollars reward for
the arrest qf Cook. Large numbers of armed men
are now scouring the mountains in pursuit of him.
Cook took tea at his father-in-law's house near the
Ferry on Monday night, only a few hours previous
to the arrival ot the marines. It was reported that
he was seen on Tuesday morning, only three miles
off.
Two wagons loaded with Government arms have
been recovered. The insurgents did not rob the
pay office as was reported; a large amount of
money was in the office.
Among the letters found at Brown’s house, the
following is a specimen ;
Dear Sir ; I have been disappointed in not seeing
you ere this to take charge of your freight. They
have been here two weeks, and as I had to super
intend, the providing for them has imposed npon
me no small task. Besides, they are getting dis
contented, and if not taken charge us soon, will go
back to Missouri. They cannot be kept here much
longer; and if any of them go back it will be a bad
termination to your enterprise.
It appears that the insurgents had printed a con
stitution and bye-laws for the provisional govern
ment of the United States; and also issued com
missions from their war office near Harper’s Fer
ry. The following is a specimen :
“Whereas, W. 11. Lehman has been nominated
Captain of the army established under the provi
sional government, now, therefore, in pursuance of
ihe authority vested in me by said Constitution, we
do hereby appoint and commission the said Leeman
as Captain.
“Given at the office of the Secretary of War,
this the loth of October 1859.
“John Brown, Commander-in. Chief,
H. Keys, Secretary of War.”
An anonymous letter was sent to the Secretary
of War at Washington, some time since, of which
the following is a copy:
Cincinnati, Aug. 20, ’59. — Sir: I have recently
received information of movements of so great im
portance, that I feel it to be my duty, to impart
it to you, without delay. I have discovered the
existence of a secret association, having, for their
object, the liberation ol all the slaves in the South
by a general insurrection. The leader of thi s
movement is old John Brown, late of Kansas,
He, (Brown), has been to Canada during the
w inter, drilling negroes, and they are only wait
ing his word to start for the South and assist the
slaves. They have one of their leading men, a
white man, in an armory, in Maryland. Where it
is si tuated, I am not able to learn. As soon as
every thing is ready, those of their number who
are in the northern States, and Canada, are to
come over in small companies to the rendezvous,
which is in the mountains of Virginia. They will
thßn pass down t hrough Pennsylvania and Mary
land, then enter Virginia at Harper’s Ferry.
“ Brown left the North about three or four weeks
ago, and he »will arm the negroes, and strike the
blow in a few weeks. So that whatever is done
must be done at once, as they have large quanti
ties of arms at their rendezvous. Brown has pro.
bably distributed them already.
“ I am not fully in their confidence and this is
all the information that I can give you. I dare not
sign my name to this; but trust you will not disre
gard the warning on this account.”
Among the arms found at Cook’s house are fi f.
teen hundred pikes, made in Connecticut; the
haudles are six feet loDg, with a blade a foot in
length ; there were also found nine hundred
Sharpe’s rifles, a box of revolvers aD& a box of
swords.
Brown denies that any others, besides those at
the Ferry, are connected with this movement. His
wounded son, however, says that there are other
parties at the North connected with it.
