and its Provable Political Effects.
In another column will be found the
details of this insurrection, which some
term mere insubordination ; but it was
more—it was a joint rebellion of blacks
and whites, which challenged both the
authority of the Federal Government and
the sovereignty of the State of A irginia.
It is in de facto levying war against both
these powers, which is no less than high
treason, and should meet fully, but legal
ly. its legitimate punishment—death. The
country must and will hold the President
and Gov. Wise, with the judicial tribu
nals, responsible for the most strict and
rigid execution of the laws. There must
be no evasion or affected clemency, for if
such is the case, hereafter in the States
where slavery exists, the motto will be—
male no prisoner*.
It mry be true that it was a a wild and
foolish attempt on the part of a few fanat
ics to raise an insurrection, but take the
mildest view, and the very attempt to
raise the outbreak is full of prolific and
striking significance. If sober reason and
sound reflection could not give the slight
est hope to the insurgents that the insur
rection would either be successful or be
come general before it would be crushed
in blood, and the parties subjected to con

izes the efforts nf the conspirators who
have so mysteriously alighted, full armed,
in their midst. The insurgents are caged
however, after their work of violence and
death, and the people with great anxiety
awaited the results of the events to-day.
At about five o’clock yesterday morn
ing the military companies, a part of which
had been on duty at guard during the
night, were ordered out. The volunteers
took possession of the streets surrounding
the governmentbuildingsandcleared them
of spectators. The marines were drawn
up within thc enclosure, under thc com
mand of Col. Lee. Lieut. Stewart, of the
Army, and Major Russell, with their two
Dahlgreen twelve pound howitzers. Thc
insurgents were in the engine room of the
armory, a small building at the extreme
end of the government works. They held
as their prisoners some half dozen citi
zens of wealth and respectability, and
some half dozen negroes. One of thc Bal
timore companies occupied the rail road
bridge, directly in front of the occupied
buildings.
The military companies of the adjoin
ing towns and the Baltimore companies
presented an imposing military display.
The scene was exciting in the extreme.—
The most breathless suspense existed fur
the half hour which proceeded the attack.
Death was anticipated, and the reckless
■laring of the few hold and toolisli fanatics
who set at defiance thc authority of the
general government and the whole milita
ry force in their view, created an intense
indignation and a desire for their summa
ry chastisement. The apprehensions for
the safety ofthe gentlemen detained in the
custody of the insurgents were also pain
ful. The marines in the yard commenced

Captain BUI Cool.
This man is represented to be a most
notorious and blood thirsty individual.—
Possessing a large amount of brute cour
age, he is reckless of his conduct, and hes
itates not to shoot an adversary. Some
time ago he got into a difficulty in tiic
neighborhood of Harper’s Ferry, with one
of the railroad employees. The man was
very close lo Cook, and when the latter
drew his revolver, seized it and turned the
muzzle from its aim. Cook dischaiged it,
however, and thc charge passed through
the clothing of the right side of him whom
be sought to kill. Before lie bad time lo
lii e the wcaj on again, he was felled to the
ground liy a w ell-directed blow with a
slung shot, from the effect of which he laid
insensible for more than I wo hours. Thai,
however, did not deter him from further
acts of outrage, liis nativity is not known.
He is said to he a man of fair education,
but is regarded by all who know him as a
designing and dangerous man. Cook mar
ried several years ago in the neighborhood
of Harper’s Ferry, but it is said that he
left on Monthly afternoon with Ids family,
