IT.?Uumors reached <1 this city, this morning, of :i serious insuri rtion at Harper's Ferry, Virginia. Tire trains have been stopped, the telegraph o wires cut, and tlio town, with all the puhlio v works, are in possession of the insurgents. a At first it was beiievod that the report was t an exnpgca ration of an till'rny among the t (loverninent employees at the armory.? 1 hater despatches from the Monoeacy, the nearest station to Harper's Ferry, confirm the first statements as to trains being stop- i |)eil, and add that several railroad employ- a eon have, been killed. The nop rocs have .1 been seized on the plantations npnn the I Maryland side of the river, and tarried I over and made to join the insurgent*. ! All statements concur that the town is I s in complete possession of the insurgents, j < lugciner with tno armory, the arsenal, tlie i pay-ottieo ami the bridge. The insurgents ' i are composed of whitesand blacks,supposed t to be led on by Abolitionists. Some suppose that plunder of the arms and aniiuu- <J nition and (.Jovcrnmcut money is their ob- ? joci. ... . !v One hundred 1 nited States marines from 1 the Washington barracks, with two J'2-;s pounders, went up this afternoon, and will l n roacli tlfore about 8 o'clock. Their orders ! 1; are to clear the bridge at all hazards. Three t companies of artillery from Old Point are i also on their way thither. Six or seven ' companies of volunteers from Baltimore j f and Frederick have been accepted b} the ? President, and go upon extra trains. e The insurgents are said to number 000 a to 800, unucr the leadership of a man t named Anderson, recently arrived at the i Ferry. .

They refused and the J Marines forced the door during a rapid lire within and without. Three Marines ( were shut. They then carried the armory t at the point of the bayonet and all the liv- ^ inuc Insurgent# were oapturcd. The cili- j* y.cns und soldiers were niunli exasperated, and eiidoavered to shoot tho rioters, but ' were prevent"' by the MuriittJ. jJ It now appears that the plan was con- .. coded niul executed by 0*H:twntomio Brown | of ICannns infamy, accompanied by a set of fauatioal Abolitionista from Ohio, Con- |( nectieirt, and Maine. A yonv ni?o, Brown i under tlio name. of Hmith, fllrcd a farm in tlie vicinity, whore the rondozvoiwcd.

Tho Insurrection nt Harper's Ferry, Va. ! i Fuller accounts of this startling yet fool- ; ish i.flair are given to-day. It \vus u joint { rebellion of blacks and whites?a rebellion j nf the bl ieks against the white race, and a | rebellion of whites, whicb challenged alike y the authority of the Federal < loVeriiuient ' and the sovereignty of Virginia. It was t ?? -i. - ' .in imiiuvi ijiiiurunk against I no I illicit > States, anil eonsumnutted its character in i the killing of their officials, seizing their 1 arms ami public buildings, and overthrow- i ing on the spot, for a time, their legal su- i premuey. This is levying war" against them, which is likdv. treason, and the pun- \ ishment for which is death. , : J Ihlt it proceeded beyond more insubor\ dination, and a number of citizens, masters ; and employers were killed in cold blood. This was murder, and the penalty death. The insurrection of the blacks, without, reference to its results and even when harm- j i j less, is an offence which the law punishes < with death. J In crimes of so high and serious a char- , > acler. no distinction is made or should be : made in law or morals between the princi- ' puis and the accessories?between the lead- crs ;;n?l tho followers?between the mur- ' dcrcrs and the inciters. Such crimes in- ! vo've not only the darkest moial truilt. but the utmost social and political malignity ! ' and trcachery. ! , Let all insurgents be hung. The country must ami will hold the ] 1 President of the I'nitcd States, the (lovernor of Virginia, the prosecuting Attor- 1 ( , nies, and the judicial tribunals to the strict- | ; est and sternest execution of the law and performance of duty. There must be j ( neither evasion nor elVected clemencies.? 1 j They may depend upon it, that if those in false sympathy arc resorted to, the country, where slaves exist, will demand that (lie armed force it will apply to the suppression of insurrections, shall make no prisoners. I The. very fully of tliis wicked attempt is , of striking significance. When there could ^ not in sober reason, or under calm calculation. be the slightest hope upon the part of ' the insurgents that the insurrection could 1 be either general or successful for any end, ; before it would be crushed in blood and I uuishment, it becomes an exemplification : j ' of what the dark passions of fanaticism and | i hate upon the part of the Northern whiten, and what a weak yet treacherous credu- ! ' lity and vanity upon the part of the blacks ' i will do and attempt, which should be startling to the wl'.ole i nited States, and should arouse the people of the South to vigilance against emissaries, and in domestic and I municipal discipline, and to an earnest | consideration Whether lior separate national independence and national defences may ; | not bo her only safeguard against a crisis , which such an event a? tliis forbodes. in j this connection, and in face of the now ! known fact thai this tflc attempt ajrainst j the lives, property and institutions of the j 1 Soiitlie.ni people, was incited by the Aholi- i ' i tioiiists and their agents of tin- North, may , j it not be fair t<? make the call and express , the hope that the good and humane, the J peaceful and just of the Northern States, | : sii;iii ijy men-sufl rages in the 1 'rcsidonti:?l 1 election, niul their legal and moral appli( :?rict',5, crush the party and the sentiment !
