Washington, October 26.?Secretary Floyd left for Charlestown this afternoon, in obedience to a summons from the Court to appear as a witness on the trial of the Harper's Ferry conspirators. He carried with him all original documents taken from the insurgents, including their original commissions as officers under the Provisional Constitution. These all bear the signature of John Brown, Commander-in-Chief, and H. Kagi, Secretary-of-War, in their own handwriting. The Cberaw Gazette says, J. C. Ter" 1 M * A. J r rel, who was rouna gumy 01 me muruer ui i Annanias Graham at the late term of Marl- ! boro' Court, came very near escaping from ' Jail on Monday evening last. The floor of the cell was of wood, through which he had succeeded in burning a hole large enough to have passed through. The wife of the jailor.smelt the smoke, and thinking all was not right sent for the Sheriff, who upon raising Terrel's mattress, found the hole. He was immediately placed in an iron cell, from which there is no change of escape. The Wilmington Journal says: We learn that a man who had been in Georgetown, S. C., during a good part of the last Summer on the plea of health, left last Friday, it being intimated to him that it might save trouble to the community and danger to himself. He was a man of fine personal appearance, remarkably intelligent, and of gentlemanly manners and address. Circumstances left no doubt of his character as an emissary of those opposed to the institutions of the community in which he was a sojourner. The Harper's Ferry affair has aroused Southern vigilance, and the business of emissaries will be found "extra hazardous." The pleadings in the McKenna will | case, upon an appeal from the decree of the j Ordinary, were made up and the case dock- I eted at this Court. There was no effort j from either side to try the case this term.? j An order was submitted by the appellants, and granted by his Honor Judge Withers, to the effect that the Ordinary be required to deliver up the original will to the Clerk of this Court, to be attached to a commission i for the examination of the subscribing wit- ! .1 :n i DCJCJ IU tUC rrtiij nucucici ouvm vvuiuiiooiuu i shall be properly sued for and issued by the said Clerk.

The Barnwell Sentinel, in reporting the Court of Sessions for Barnwell District, says : There were two other capital cases, one of Elizabeth Howard for the murder of a slave, and the other of James Broxton, for killiog a man named Griffin. This was a case which shows the imperfection of the law upon a poiDt which our Representatives should attend to next December. Griffin was wounded in this State, but was carried over into Georgia, and there died. J. T. Al- i dricb, Esq., the counsel for the prisoner, j objected to the jurisdiction of our Courts in the matter, and Col. Owens, the counsel for the State, remarked, that after a thorough investigation of the subject, be could find no authority for insisting upon the trial; j but, he said, 4that if the prisoner was not tried here, he would go scot free, the Geor- j eia Courts having no more power than j oars.' The Judge decided the objection was sufficient, and the prisoner was discharged. At four o'clock on Saturday morning ' a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. J. 1 S. Ryan, South-west comer of Calhoun and Rutledge streets. It was found to pro- I ceed from one of the cottages used as a di- j ning ball Thence it spread to the others? ; one used as a summer house, aud the other I as servants' quarters. The furniture of the hall was entirely destroyed. The three cottages, with their contents, were entirely con- j suuied, with the exception of the plate in the dining hall, which was preserved from the flames. This property was purchased recenty by Mr. Ryan, and the building erected at considerable expense, and had just completed. Mr. Ryan had no insurance on the property. The wind was blowing from the North-east at the time, and but for the ready access to water, the fire would have been ! more general. His loss is estimated at 82,500.

No event has occurred in the last quarter of a century more startling and suggestive of evil to the Southern people than the recent emeuteat Harper's Ferry, and no intelligence from any point of the compass possesses for our readers a more absorbing interest than the details published in the last and present issue. Of course, no apology is needed on account of the large space given to this topic, although every other item of interest has nw/tlrtrJorl UCCU IUC1CKJJ cawiuvivmi In its immediate results this affair is a ridiculous, miserable failure. It could he nothing else. That Brown with his handful of deluded followers expected to arouse a general servile insurrection, overthrowexisting governments, emancipate the entire boby of Southern slaves, and build np a government of his own, only exhibits the pitiable plight into which the mad fanaticism of Abolition hurls its votaries. The culprits will attain the martyrdom which they seem to covet, and thns will end this comtemptible disgraceful farce. Ultimately, we have reason to anticipate, from this outbreak, a harvest of valuable results to the South. If blood had not been shed, we could not for a moment have regretted the occurrence : and perhaps the good to be evolved from snob an event might outweigh the value of a thousand lives.? The tone and temper of tbo slave have been exhibited in a striking light?assnring us of that faithfulness, that happy and contented disposition which the South has always claimed for him, and which this event will teach in such a manner as to dispel the illusion under which honest men at the North have labored in their crusade against us. I'ersnaded, thus, that the zeal which prompts them to imbrue their bands in fraternal blood for the sake of those who, content with their lot, re fuse to strike in their own behalf, is mistaken and fanatical, Northern men who are honest and sincere must pause; and startled by the forebodings of a speedy wreck of the Union by which they live, they must sec the necessity which impels them to take sides with the South ard thus uphold the interests which are identical with their own pros peri'.y, their safety, their very life. Should these considerations fail, however, to affect the Northern masses, the Harper's Ferry treason cannot fail to startle the Southern States into a keen appreciation of the folly and madness of a continued wrangling amongst themselves.? If Northern fanaticism shall rage without abatement, carrying fire and slaughter and dom-stic warfare and servile insurrection over our borders and into our homes, where can our safety be, except in a firmly-knit union at home, and a war to the very knife against the aggressor ? We will need no argument to prove the recreancy of our Northern brethren; to persuade us that our only hope is in ourselves; and, surely, the very instiuots cf our heing will urge us to band together for a common defense. We hope much from this affair, insignificant and ridiculous as it appears to be, and we would have our readers thoroughly informed of its details and of the lessons it inculcates. Wc shall, therefore, continue to publish in full the account* from the scene of nction as they reach us. 1HE VIRGINIA INSURRECTION. Trial of the Insurrectionists. The Magistrate's Court assembled at Charlestown. Virginia, on Tuesday morning, to examine the prisoners captured in the recent insurrection. The following magistrates were on the bench: Col. Davenport. Presiding Justice; Dr. Alexander, John J Lock, John F. Smith, Tbos. If. Willis, George W. Eichelberger, Charles H. Lewis, and j Moses W. Burr. At half past 10 o'clock, the Sheriff was directed to bring in the prisouers, who were conduct- j ed from the jail under a guard of eighty armed ' men. A guard was also stationed oround the court ! house, their bayonets bristling on all sides. Charles B. Harding, Esq., attorney for the conn- j ty, was assisted by Andrew Hunter, counsel for I the commonwealth. The prisoners were brought in amidst profound j silence. Brown and Edwin Coppee were mana > cled together. Brown seemed weak and haggard, , with the eye? swollen from the effects of the wounds ; on his head. C.>ppee is uninjured. Stevens seem ed less injured than Brown, but looked haggard and depressed. He has also a number of wounds on the head. John Copeland is a bright mulatto, about twenty five years of age. Green is a dark negro, j about thirty years of age. Sheriff Champbell read the commitment of the prisoners on the charge of treason and murder. ' when Mr. Harding, the State's Attorney asked that | the Court might assign counsel for the prisoners if thev had none. The Court inquired if the prisoners had conn- J sel, when Brown addressed the Court as follow-: j ' Virginians?I did not ask for any quarter at j the time I was taken. I did not ask to have tny- ' self spared. The Governor of the State of Virgin ia tendered me his nssurnnfte that I should have I a fair trial, and under no circumstance- whatever will I be able to attend to a trial. If you seek my J blood, you can hare it any momeut without the | mockery of a trial. "I have had no counsel. I have not been able i to advise with one. I know nothing about the j feelings of my fellow prisoners, and am utterly unable to attend in any way to my own defence. My memory don't serve me. My health is insnffi- j cient, although improving. There are mitigating circumstances, if a fair trail is to be allowed us, j that I would urge in our favor. But if we are to be forced with a mere form of a trial to execu j tion. you might spare yourselves that trouble.? I am ready for my fate. I do not ask a trial. I plead for no mockery of a trial?no icsult?noth ing but that which conscience gives or cowardice would drive you to practice. "I ask to be excused from the mockery of' a trial. I do not know what the design of this examination is. I do not know what is to bs the benefit of it to the Commonwealth. I have now little to ask other than that I be not publicly in suited as cowardly barbarians insult thoss who fall into their hands." The Court assigned Charles J. Faulkner* and Lawson Botts as counsel for the prisoners. After some consultation with the prisoners, Mr. Faulk> er, addressing the Court, said: I was about to remark to the Court, that although I feel at any time willing to discharge any duty which the Court can legally and by authority low rlavnlya nnnn ma. T am not. in the first v ...? -r- _ place, aware of any authoity which this Co?rt has, sitting as an examining Court, to assign counsel for the defence. Besides, it Is manifest from the remarks just made by one of the prisoners that he regards the appear^06 counsel under such circumstances o<si a bone fide act, bnt rather as a mockery. Under these cironmstances I do not feel diep^d to assume the responsibility of that poWrton. I hare other reasons for declining tVposition, connected with my having been at tbep'aceof action and hearing all the admissions p/the prisoners, which render it improper and inexpedient for me to act as counsel. If the Court had authority to order it peremptorily, I should acquiesce and obey that authority, bnt I am not awaie that there is any such power vested i n this Court, and as it is, if the prisoners' desire, I will see that full justice is done them. Mr. Botts said he did Dot feel it his duty to decline that appointment of the Court. He wr.s prepared to do his best to defend the prisoners, and he hoped the Court would assign him some experienced assistant if Mr. Faulkner declined. Mr. Harding then addressed Brown, end asked him if he was willing to accept Messrs. Faulkner and Botts as counsel. Captain Brown replied, "I wish to say that I have sent for counsel. I did apply, through the advice of some persons here, to some persons whose names I do not now recollect to act as counsel for me, and I have sent for other counsel who have not had time to reach here, and have bad no possible opportunity to see me. I wish for counsel if I am to have :i trial, but if I am to have nothing but the mockery of a trial, as I said, I do not care anything aboni: counsel. It is unnecessary to trouble any gentleman with thatdu?y." Mr. Harding?''You are to have a fair trial." Captain Brown?"There were certaiu men, I think Mr. Botts was one of them, who declined acting as counsel, but I am not positive about it; J. tnuuufc ICUKUiUCt nuciun lie nuo V/uv, wvwvuav I hare heard so many names. I am a stranger here and do not kn >w the disposition or character of the gentleman named. I have applied for counsel of my own and doubtless could have t aero, if I am not, as I said before, to be harried to execu tion before they can reach here. Bat if that be the disposition that is to be made, all this trouble and expense can be saved." Mr. Harding?"The question is, do you desire the aid of Messrs. Faulkner and Botts as your counsel! Please to eni-weryes or no." Capt. Brown?"I cannot regard this as an examination under any circumstances. I wofild prefer that they should exercise their own pleasure. I feel as if it was a matter of little account to me, If they had designed to assist me as counsel, I should have wanted an opportunity to consult with them at my leisare " Mr. Harding?"Stevens, are you willing those gentlemen should act as your counsel ?" Stevens?"I am willing that gentleman shall," (pointing to Mr. Botts ) Mr. Harding?"Do you object to Faulkner?" Stevens?"No ; I am willing to take both." Mr. Harding then addressed each of the other prisoners eeperntely, and each stated hie willing[ ness to be defended by the counsel named. The Court then issued peremptory orders that the press should not publish detailed testimony, as it would render the getting of a jury before the Circuit Court impossible. Col. Washington and some five or si:c others were examined, but the evidence discloses nothing more than has been already published. The preliminary examination being corcluded, the Court remanded the prisoners for trial before the Circuit Court. n OR IvHAtlljfcSi una, WiuvBi ?v. The Grand Jury for the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Judge Richard Parker presiding, came into court to day, and reported true bills ngainst the Harper's Ferry insurrectionists. Charles B. iiundly and Andrew Hunter, Esqs., for ?nd Oharloa Jomr? F??tk ner nnd Lawson Botts, E*qs., for the prisoners. The indictments were read. They charge? First: Conspiring with negroes to create an insurrection. Second: Treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia. Third : Murder. Before reading the indictments, Mr. Hunter called the attention of the Court to the necessity of appointing additional counsel for the prisoners. He stated that Mr. Faulkner considered that his duty in that capacity us ended, and had left. The prisoners, therefore, had no other counsel than Mr. Butts. After consulting with John Brown, Mr. Bolts stated that the prisoners retained him, and desired to have Mr. Green to assist. The Court requested Mr. Green to act as counsel, and Mr. Green consented. Capt. BrowD made a speech, and asked for a , delay of a few days. He said he should then be better able to attend the trial. The indictment was read to the prisoners, and they plead "not guilty." ! The prosecuting attorney elected to try Brown . first on the part of the State. Brown plead for delay. He said that ho had , counsel now on the way from the North. The Court said that the condition of the prisoner required that some regard be paid t" his request for delay. The physician of the jail and the jn.lor were summoned to testify. The physician gave it as his opinion that the prisoner was physically able to proceed with the trial. The Court then ad- ( journed until to-morrow. CitAitLCSTOWN, Va. October 26. Cliarlestown is full to overflowing with people, and the excitement in regard to the trial is intense. The conduct, prospects, and even the ex ecution of the prisoners, which is regarded as certain to take place at an early day, at e discussed from every possible point of view. Capt. Brown, it is reported, has consented to allow Messrs. Faulkner and Botts to net as his counsel, they assuring him that they will defend him faithfully and give him the advantage of every privilege that the law will allow. Stevens declares that he does not desire to be defended by Northern counsel, preferring Southern men, and that the Court should name them. There is a decided sympathy expressed for Stevens, not only on account of his sufferings, but because he has shown none of that vindictiveness and hardihood that characterizes Brown. His regret is regarded as caused by the consequence of his folly. The examination yesterday indicated that the other prisonsers have lost their confidence iu Captain Brown and nre not disposed to follow him in his ' definnt course. Mr. Johnson, United States Marshal at Cleveland, Ohio, arrived this morning. He visited the prisoners, and identified the negro, Copeland as a fugitive from justice in Ohio. His object is supposed to be to ferret out testimony implica- j ting other parties. The result of the insurrection is regarded here as proving the faithfulness of the slaves . No fears are entertained of them, but a military guard is kept up to meet any attempt to rescue the prisoners. Great consternation among the slaves had been caused by a fear of being seized, like those of Col. Washington's were, and they firmly ho- ] lieve that the ohject of the prisoners was to carry 1 them South and sell them. Not a single slave | ba9 yet been implicated as even sympathizing 1 with the insurrectionists. Those carried on have all returned to their masters. Cannou are stationed in front of the Court ' House, and an armed guard is patroling aronnd 1 the jail. ( Th? ronort that Captain Brown had made, or 1 is going to moke, a full confession is apparently I without foundation. On the contrary, rays "he has full confidence in the goodness of God; is confident he will rescue him from the perils that surround him. He says he has had rifles leveled at him, knives at his throat, and his life in as great peril as it new is, but that God has always been at his side. He knows God is with him, aud i he fears nothing." The Imuryr.nt Cook.?Hagerstown, Md., Oct. j 27.?Officer B M. Morris, of Richmond, Va., j who whs sent to Penn. by Gov.

Seaborn, | Secretary of the Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Society; and the initials "8. G. H." to Dr. 8. G. i Howe, of Boston. Charlestown, October 26. j Alexander R. Botelcr, member of Congress e- j lect from this district, has collected fifty to one \ hundred letters from the citizens residing in the neighborhood of Brown's house, who searched it before the arrival of the marines. Lettsre are also in possession of Andrew Hunter, Esq., who has also a large number of letters obtained from the house by the marines and other parties. Among them is a roll of conspirators, containing 47 signatures. Also, a receipt from Horace Greeley for letters, etc., received from Bro^n, and an accurately traced map from Chamberebnrg to Brown's house. Also, a copy of a letter from Brown, stating that the arrival of too many men at once would excite suspicion, and that they should arrive singly. Also, a letter signed Merriam, stating that if 20,000 was wanted, C. S. was good for one fifth. Brown tells them to let women write letters, not men. Also, a letter from J. E. Cook, stating that the Maryland election was about to come off, the people will become excited, and we will get some of the candidates to join our side. We take the following from the Baltimore Sun of Thursday morning: Messrs. Kelly and Morris, detective police sent ou by Governor Wise, of Virginia, and who came to Baltimore to await a requisition for the prisoners in jail in Pennsylvania, as participants in the Harper's Ferry insurrection, ascertained from Murdills, and Shafer and Maloney, hardware dealers in Baltimore, that Franois J. Merriam is the man who purchased the ammunition on last Friday week, and who received, per Adams' express, $600 in gold from Boston. Merriam sent he following dispatch from "Hahpir's Ferbt, Oct. 15, '59. "Louis Hayden, 77 8ourhac street, Secretary of StAte office, State House, Boston: "Order disobeyed?conditions broken. Pay 8. immediately balance of my money?allow nt farther expense. Recall money advanced, if not spent." Augusta, October 27. The Grand Jury have found indictments to-day against the conspirators in the Harper's Ferry rebellion. The first indictment is for conspiracy amoDg the negroes to create an insurrection. The second is for trenson against the commonwealth of Virginia. The third for murder. Able counsel have been appointed for the prisoners. The Trial.?The trial of the conspirators commenced on Wednesday, and a jury had been empanneled. The correspondent of the Tribune on the day of the examination writes as follows: Captain Brown's object in refusing the aid of connsel is, that if he has counsel he will not be allowed to speak himself, and Southern counsel will not be willing to express his views. The reason given for hurrying the trial is that 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. It is presumed that they will demand separate trials. After conviction, but a few days will be given them before their execution. It is thought that All but Brown will make a full confession. The prisoners, as brought into the Court, presented a pitiable sight?Brown and Stephens being unable to stand without assistance. Brown I has three sword stabs in his body, and one sabercut over the heart. Stevens has three balls in his head, and bad two in his breast, and one in his arm. He was also cut on the forehead with a rifle bullet, which glanced off, leaving a bad wound. Trial of John Brown. The trial of John Brown at Charlestown, Va., is progressing, ne give me rouowing irom me reports in the Baltimore papers: A Confusion.?John Copeland, the mulatto prisoner from Oberlin, Ohio, has made a fall confession to United States Marshal Martin, of Vir ginia, and Marshal Johnson, of the Northern District of Ohio. He has given the names of the parties at Oberlin who induced him to go to Harper's Ferry, and who furnished the money for his expenses, &c. He also states that a movement of a similar character was contemplated in Kentucky about the same time. Many persons in Northern Ohio, whose name9have not heretofore been mentioned, are directly implicated. The confession is withheld from the pnblic until after the trials are over, by order of Gov. Wise. I was shown to day, by Mr. Johnson, Marshal of the Northern District of Ohio, a large number of important letters implicating Gerrit. Smith, and a nnmher of prominent men of Oberlin, Cleveland and other portions of Ohio. There is also a letter from Captain Brown to one of bis sons, dated April 16, 1859, describing his visit to Gerrit Smith, at Petersboro,' which he regarded as highly encouraging, and stating that Smith gave him one hundred and eighty dollars; that he also, at his bonse, received a note which he considered good for two hundred more, and that Smith had written to his friends at the East that two thousand dollars must be raised for Brown of which he would agree to furnish one fifth himBelf. There is also the notice of a draft ftom the Cashier of the New Fork State Bank for one hundred dollars, sent him hy direction of Gerrit Smith. This is dated Albany. August 29. 1859. Thn dTominfttinn which has been made here to rfay by the United States Marsballs settles this fact: That this movement has lone been maturine, and that many prominent men in Northern States hare given money and influence in its behalf. Charlestown. October 27.?The storm of last night interrupted the telegraph wire from this point, and prevented the sending of the full defails of the day's proceedings. The Court refused to postpone the trial, but the whole afternoon was taken up in obtaining ajury for the trial of Captain Brown, who was brought into Court on a cot. The counsel for Capt. Brown have not yet arrived. but the trial will go on without them. Charlfstown, October 27.?Noon?Captain Brown was brought into Court this morning, walking, but reaching the bar, he laid down at full length on his cot. Ho looked considerably better, the swelling having left his eyes. Senator Ma^on was prpsent. Messrs. Harding and Hunter appeared for the Commonwealth, and Messrs. Botts and Green for the prisoner. Mr. Botts read the following despatch, received by him this morning : Akron. Ohio, Ootoher 26th. 1859. To C. J. Faulkner and Laxcson Botte, Etqs.: John Brown, the leader of the insurrection at Harper's Ferry. Virginia, and several of his family, have resided in this county many years. Insanity is hereditary in that family. His mother and sister died witu it, and a daughter of that sister has been two years in the Lunatic Asylum. A son and daughter of his mother's brother have also been confined in tho Lunatic Asylum, and another son of that brother is now insane, and under close restraint. These facts can be conclusively proven by witnesses residing here, who will doubtless attend the trial if desired. A. H. LEWIS. Wm C Allen, the teletrranhic onerator at the Arkron office, adds to the above despatch that A. Q. Lewis is a resident of that place, and his statements are entitled to implicit credit. Mr. Botts said that, on receiving the above despatch, he went to the jail with his associate, Mr. Green, and read it to Capt. Brown, and is desired by the latter to say that in his father's family there has never been any insanity at all. On his mother's side, there have been repeated instances of it, and he adds that his first wife Bbowed symptoms of it, which was also evident in his first and second sons by that wife. Some portions of the statements in the despatch he knows to be correct, but of the other portions he is ignorant. Capt. Brown Spurn? the Plea of Insanity.?Mr. Botts having concluded bis statement, Capt. Brown then raised himself up in bed and said : "I will add, if the Court will nllow me, that I look upon it as a miserable artifice and pretext of those who ought to take a different course iu regard to me, if they took any at all. And I view it with contempt, more than otherwise, as I remarked to Mr. Green. Insane persons may, as far as my experience goes, have but vesy little ability to judge of their own insanity, and if I am insane, of course I should think I knew more than all the rest of the world; but I do not think so. I am perfectly unconscious of insanity ; and I veiw with utter contempt, and I reject, so far as I am capable, any attempt to interfere in my behalf on that score." The Jury Sworn.?The jury having been sworn to fairly and impartially try the prisoner, the 1 Jourt directed that the prisoner might forego the | orm of standing while being arraigned, if he so iesired it. Mr. Botts put the inquiry to the prisoner, and ie continued to be prostrate in his seat while the oog indictment, filling seven closely written foolssap pages, was read?the first count being insur > ection the second (reason, and the third murder. ! The Oj>eniny Address to the Jury. -Mr. Harding, : he State's Artorney, then addressed the jury, ind presented the facts to the case, detailiog the j scenes at the armory, the killing of the bridgeceeper, and the subsequent killing of citixeas mined in the indictment, the seising of Messrs. Lewis Washington and Allstadt, with their slaves, ' he forming of a government within the limits of he Commonwealth, holding citizens as prisoners >f war, and their subsequent capture, etc. He read the law on the subject of treason and evying war against the Bute; giving comfort { ;o its enemies or establishing any other govern- | nent within its limits, offences punishable by leath?the-murder of citizens; and in connection with these are the punishment for rape. Several ot the oharges of the indiotment, if proven, being death, all these oharges would be distinctly proven beyond the possibility of a doubt on the mind of the jury. He would show that tbo prisoner's whole object was to rob onr citizens of their slaves and carry them off by violence, and he was happy to say, against the will of the slave, all of them having escaped and rushed back to their masters at the first opportunity. *S". %v He concluded by urging the jury to cast aside all their prejudices and to give the prisoners a fair and impartial trial. Not to allow their hatred of Abolitionists to influence them against those who have raised the black flag of rebellion in the soil of this Commonwealth. Mr. Green, on the part of the prisoner, arose 2 . J J 1 AL. A. Al AL _ 1 uuu auuresijeu ine jury, giving 10 mem me taw applicable to the case. He said that the jury mast bear in mind that they are judges of the law and the facts, and that if they have any doubt as to the law of fact of thegniltof this prisoner, they are to give the prisoner the benefit of that doubt. The first charge of treason, as a specific act of treason, must be proven. It must be proven that he attempted to establish a separate and dlstinot Government And it must also be proven what was the purpose of the treasonable acts, before you can convict him on these charges. If it is intended to rely on his confessions to prove treason, the law distictly says no conviction can be made on confessions unless made in open court. There mast be sufficient evidence to prove the charge, independent of any confessions out of the court. And it requires two distinct witnesses to prove each and every act of treason. Second, conspiring with slaves to rebel and make insurrection. The jury must be satisfied that such conspiracy was done within the State of Virginia and within the jurisdiction of this Court. If done in Maryland, this Court could uot punish the act, as, also, if done within the limits of the armory at Harper's Ferry, it was not done within the jurisdiction of this State, the Government of the United States holding exclusive jurisdiction within said grounds. Attorney General Cushing had decided this point with regard to the armory gronnds at Harper's Ferry, (which opinion was read to the jury,) showing that persons residing within the limits of the armory, cannot even be taxed by Virfln'nio anrl that sn'mfio anmmtftA^ Within tllf* said limits are punishable by the Federal Courts. Although the jury may doubt about the law on this subject, they must give the prisoner the benefit of that doubt. Upon the third count, that of murder?if it was committed within the limits of the armory, this Court has no jurisdiction. And, in the case of Beokman, if killed on the railroad bridge, it was committed within the State of Maryland, which State claims jurisdiction up to the armory grounds. Although be may be guilty of murder, it must be proven willful, deliberate and premeditated murder, to make it a capital offeuce. If otherwise, the killing was murder in the second degree, punishable by imprisonment. If there is any doubt on these points, you must give that doubt to the prisoner. He was satisfied the jury will not allow any outside excitement to affect them. That they will do their duty faithfully and impartially. Mr. Botts impressively addressed the jury.? The case, he said, was an unusual one. The crimes charged, were, in many respects, unknown to jury trial?calling for calm, unimpassioned deliberation, and not a seizing upon loose statements for conviction. The jury must rise morally above all prejudices and influences, and deliberate calmly, free of all resentment, and bear in mind that the mission of the law is not to wreak vengeance, and that the majesty of the law is best maintained when judges, counsel and jury rise above these influences. The burthem of proof is on the Commonwealth, and if she fails to substantiate her charges, you are bound to do I your duty impartially, and find your verdict on the law and testimony that the Commonweath may be able to present you. He then proceeded to go over the same grounds taken by Mr. Oreen on each of tho three points of the indictment?treason, insurrection and murder. It is no difference, he said, how much the jury may be convinced in their own minds of the prisoner, it is essential that they mast have proof positive or tne gout in a case use mis, involving both life and liberty. Mr. Botts, in reviewing the law bearing on the case, evinced a determination to avail himself of every advantage that the law allows, and to do his duty to the prisoner earnestly and faithfully. Mr. Hunter followed, stating his purpose to aviod anything by way of argument and explanation immediately connected with the particnlar issne now to be tried, and to march straight-forward to the attainment,' so far as it may be in oar power, of the ends of jastice, by either convicting or acquitting the prisoner at the bar. With a single preliminary remark, explanatory of his position here as assistant of the prosecution, which had been assigned to him by the Governor of the Commonwealth, as well as his Honor the Judge, he passed at once to a review of what was the law in reference to the case, and what he expected to be able to prove to the satisfaction of the jury. He thought his friends on the other side were totally mistaken in their view that the law, as it now stands on statute books in reference to overt acts, was, either in language, or substance, that contained in the Constitution of the United States. On the contrary, the phraseology had been varied from the Constitution, and, as he conceived, for a plain and palpable purpose?that all the powers vested in the Federal Government were given with great jealousy. This was a historical fact, perfectly familiar, and consequently, while treason against them, or in adhering to their enemies and giving them aid and comfort?and there is provision that no person shall be convioted of treason unless on testimony of two witnesses of some overt act, or confession in open Court?yet the State law is more full, and includes within its definition of treason also the establishing, without authority of the Legislature, any Government within its limits, separate from the existing government, or holding or executing of such usurped Government any office professing allegiance or fidelity to it, or resisting the execution of the laws uuder color of its authority. And it eoes on to declare that such treason, if proved by the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or by confession in Court, shall be punished by death. Any one of these acts constitutes treason against this Commonwealth, and he believed the prisoner had been guilty of each and all of these acts, which would be proved in the clearest manner, not by two, but by a dozen witnesses, unless limited by a want of time. The prisoner had attempted to break down the existing government of the Commonwealth and establish on the ruins a new government. He had usurped the office of Commander-in Chief of this new government, and, together with bis whole band, professed allegiance and fidelity to it. He represented not only the civil authorities of the State, but our own military. He is doubly, trebly and quadruply guilty of treason. He proceeded again on the question of jurisdiction over the Armory grounds, and examined the authority, cited on the other side, of Attorney General Cashing. The latter was an able man, but came from a region of country where opinions were very different from ours, in relation to the powers of Federal Government as affecting State Rights. Our Courts have decided adversely to Mr. Cusbing's views. In all time past, the jurisdiction of this Court of Jefferson, in regard to criminal offences committed at Harper's Ferry, has been uninterrupted and unchallenged, wheth- i er they were committed on the Government property or not. He cited an instance that occurred twenty-nine years ago, where an atrocious murder was com mitted between the very shops in front of which these men fought their battle, and the criminal | was tried here, convicted and executed under our laws. There was a broad distinction between the . cession of jurisdiction by Virginia to the Federal . Government and the mere assent of the State . thai the Federal Government should become a landholder within its limits. The law of Virginia, { by virtue of which the grounds at Harper's Ferry were purchased by the Federal Government, ce- ( dod no jurisdiction. Capt. Brown was also guilty on his own noto- , rious confession, of advising a conspiracy. In ( regard to the charge of murder, the proof will be i that this man was not only actually engaged in ( murdering our citizens, but that he was chief di- j , rector of the whole movement. No matter wheth- , { er be was present on the spot or a mile off, he is equally guilty. In conclusion, Mr. Hunter said he hoped the case would be considered with fairness and impartiality, without fear, favor or affection, and he ( only asked that penalty might be visited on the 1 prisoner which the law denounces, which reason denounces, which our safety requires, and which e the laws of God and man approve. t The examination of Dr. Story, one of the wit- c nesses, was then proceeded with. His statement a contains no fact not before published. t 1 Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. I , New York, October 21, 1869. ' B It is amusing to bear the Abolitionists discuss j the Harper's Ferry insurrection; some try to pal- : liate the enormity of the fiendish attempt of old 1 n Brown, by calling him a madman?others deeply 11 regret that he did not succeed. I heard one man j t to-day at the Police Commissioners office say he ' v wished that old Brown had succeeded, and that t then the Southerners would see sights, and feel t the entire strength of the anti-slavery feeling of t . . ;* the North ! There are thousand* who in their hearts wish that the ontbreak in Virginia had extended over a dozen States at the South, and I really believe many of them would have rejoiced to see children murdered, woman abused and rivBrs of blood flowing, if they only thonght that it ironld be no pecuniary loss to themselves. There really seems to be some apprehension here that Gov. Wise, of Virginia, will make a requisition upon Gov. Morgan, of this 8tate, to bave Gerrit Smith delivered over for trial. I bave heard the subject discussed by violent Black Republicans. Let Gov. Wise attempt it, say they, ind the scenes enacted at the Jerry resoue will not compare in fury and horror with what would occur at Peterboro', the residence of Gerritt Smith. One Abolitionist was to-day consoling some of his brethren with the fact that Gerritt Smith now lived in the town of Peterboro,' and not two miles in the country, as he formerly did; so that he sould not be secretly seized and carried away by unawares. Some of the papers and people here ?re ridiculing the fears and terror which Old Brown and his few followers spread in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry, but I think the idea of Gerritt Smith being taken to Virginia for the trial UUO DUUU& j^ioavci ICIIVI lU IUO UIWJWWWWUW VI the cowardly Abolitionists who applaud but dare Dot go to the assistance of Old Brown and bis deladed followers. A New York correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer writes : The whole of the Black Republican papers are devoted to the honorable course of defending Brown and his treasonable associates, or in telling and repeating the lies of others regarding Brown's and Cook's history and acts. An English Abolitionist, named Redpath, formerly the Kansas correspondent of the New York Tribune, and now assistant editor of the Boston Atlas, has lauded Brown as a great hero, of the Puritian or Cromwellian school, which is copied with avidity by the Black Republican journals.? This Redpath, or rather Blackpath. was said to have been the bosom companion of Brown, Cook & Co., in Kansas, and hence a fellow feeling makes him "wondrous kind." Kagi, or Cagi, who was shot under Brown at Harper's Ferry, was said to have been another lying correspondent of the Tribune in Kansas. The sympathy at the North for Brown and his piratical crew is moro general than what is believed. It prevails in nearly all the churches, except the Episcopal and the Catholio. Strenuous efforts will be made to screen the offenders at Charlestown, and to clear them by postponements, changing venues, or other subterfuges.? Money will not be wanting to supply them with counsel. Collections for this purpose are already being taken up at Worcester, in Massachusetts, and strange enough, a clergyman is engaged to act as treasurer. A question may arise, whether an abolitionist, like Chase, or Giddings, or others of that stamp not free from suspicion of being particeps criminis, should be allowed to appear before the Criminal Courts of a slave State in defending men of their own treasonable faith. The peace of the Republic has passed away on the day Washington's advice was ignored, or from the day that the North fanatically, politically divided from the South on sectional geographical lines. In our opinion, (from which we free all responsibility on the part of the "Enquirer,") peace between the two sections can never be restored.? The South, no doubt, loves the Union, and knowing what it cost, clings to it with the tenacity of wrecked seamen to a shattered bark, and nothing but the imperious necessity forced npon her will ever drive her from its support. If the right feelings prevailed at the North, regarding the recent bold and treasonable developments of abolitionism, would the brass of Giddings have t^en tolerated in the repetition of his vile lies in Philadelphia against the South in the form of a lecture? Would the Beechers and Cheevers draw large and applauding audiences ? Would papers in this city be fonnd engaged in daily traducing the South, and directly or indireotly defending the treason of Brown and his followers ? And even papers professedly with the South hope that Virginia will deal leniently with Brown & Co ? We wish to say no more, and here leave the subject. The Two Sections. Southern Tone.?We copy the following from the Richmond Enquirer: We cannot but admire the calm and dignified ? ? ^ el*** Ctn ?nn nn/lnx thft r)/vnKlo pusiltuu U1 IJLJC UUUIIICIU Uiaitp uuuoi *uv uvuviv outrage of murder and insult inflicted by a portion of the people of the Northern States. We hope that no aggravation of the insult, either by the Northern press, or the Northern people at the approaching election, will drive any portion of the Southern people to vain and empty resolves. The voice of the Southern States should prooeed not from public meetings, but if there should be a necessity for the expression of public sentiment, let an organized Convention of the Southern States be called together by legislative action, to consider the best means of protection in the future. We have no doubt that very many of the leaders of the Republican party will be implicated by the publication of the correspondence that has been recovered. Should the Qrand Jury, upon the examination of these letters, "rolls of liberty," &c., find a "true bill" against such men as Qerritt Smith, Qiddings, Garrison, &c., and the requisition by the Executive of Virginia be refused, a serious question will be presented not only to the people of Virginia, but of the entire South. Such refusal we do not desire to anticipate. The evils it would entail invblve the permanency of the Union. Asti Slavery Meetiko.?The Worcester Massachusetts Spy, of Monday last, reports the proceedings of a special meeting of the Worcester County South Division Anti 81avery [Garrisonian] Society, which was held in that town on Sunday, from which we extract the following: Resolutions were offered and discussed in ref? ? - - viAoUinn tlvn* akanl/1 Kn talran Kw uronco IU luv puoikivu vuait ouvum uv twawu %*j i anti-slavery men in regard to the outbreak at Harper's Ferry. Mr. Ballou's resolutions were thoroughly and intensely non-resistant, discountenancing the exercise of force or violence by themselves or others, under any circumstances whatever, for the deliverance of the enslaved, trusting to moral and pacific means alone. Mr.. S. S. Foster, on the other hand, thought it the duty of all anti-slavery men to use such weapons in aid of the cause as they might deem most effi oient?the non-resistant abolitionist to use moral weapons alone, but the abolitionist who believes in force in any case, should use force to get rid of slavery; for that reason John Brown and his confederates were justifiable. Mr. May's position was while discountenancing force in the present instance, as our principle of action, yet, judged by the moral standard which governed onr fathers in taking up arms against Great Britain, tbe slaves of the South and those sympathising with them are equally justified in using force to remove the despotism which onthrals 3,000,000 human beings in slavery at the present day. We understand that arrangements are being made, by some of the personal frieuds of Captain John Brown, in the State, to secure for him the services of able counsel, in case be is afforded a fair trial. For this purpose funds will be required, and contributions will be received by Rev. T. W. Higgenson, of this city. Extent of the Harper't Ferry riot.?The N. Y. Pott, in coarse of its comments on the late insurrection, says: . "Rumors which are current among the free blacks of this city represent that this outbreak was only a permature explosion of a more general conspiracy. It is alleged that a rising all over the States of Maryland and Virginia was contemplated ; that the 24th of October was the day appointed for the attempt, and that the seizure of the Arsenal was to be the signal to tbe insurgents, rhe taking of the Arsenal in anticipation of the lay whereby the conflict has been precipitated, before the slaves were ready for it, is supposed to be a mistake of Bomo one entrusted by the lead srs with the execution of that part of the plot.? wnemer mere is any muuuunuu mi . uu,v>a, )r whether they are mere inventions, got up after ;he event to stiuiulte public curiosity, we cannot lay." J. R. Giddingt.?The following extract from a ipeech of Mr. Giddings in Congress, is strong cirsumstantial evidence against him in the Harper's 'erry affair: "I look forward to the day when there shall be i servile insurrection at the South ; when the dock man, armed with British bayonets, and led in by British officers, shall assert his freedom, ind wage a war of extermination against his maser. And though we may not mock at their caamity, nor laugh when their fear cometh, yet re will hail it as the dawn of a political millenlium."

Shackleford, of Amherst County, who, in accordance with the will of the deceased, were abont to depart, by way of the canal, for a free State. The whole number set free was forty-four, men, women and children, but only thirty-seven left, the balance preferring to remain in servitude in Old Virginia, rather than enjoy their freedom elsewhere. 8otne of those who did leave, were thrown on the boat by main force, so much opposed were they to leaving, and many expressed their determination of returning to Virginia as soon as an opportunity offered. Many were the well wishes tendered th e departing negroes by the crowd assembled, tad when the boats started from their wharves, the freed negroes struck up, "Carry me back to Old Virginny," which was joined in by one and all.
