Tlio following is a copy of n letter from Mr. (lidding#, seized with other ptipers and documents at the house of " (Wawattomie" lirown, and n w in the possession of u gentleman of Baltimore, says the Sun : I Kt'Kl.ltsoN, Ohio, M y Lid 1S50.?"

On (lie buck of the letter is "J. R. CJiddinjis," ami tin; words " requires no reply," evidently in llrowti's own hiindwiitinir.

" Ion" write."* us follows : I have seen a number of letters imdother papers which came into the bands of the District Attorney, Mr. Ould, and which throw much lifrht upon the. subject of the late insurrection at Harper's. .Ferry.

Our papers show tlint (ho "stock" and tho UKsoiiation are c\iroetly connected with tho attempt to cxciten servile insurrection nt Harper * Ferry. Thus it would scblii that there is evidence to show that Mr. (biddings contributed aid to the proposed treasonable attempt, fully knowing its character. 1 hit 8till, while this amounts to moral conviction, it may not bo legal proof. Iii another letter from John Hinitli (that is) 15?x?\vi? to his father, he expresses his surprise nt the change of tbo time for the "opening of their uiincR"?that is, executing their plans. lie says the spring hutl been agreed upon ns the time for action.
