lIIRPMCS FKRAS:, Tuesday, October 18,
P. M.—Tho excitement is' subsiding into
astonishment at the insane undertaking of
the Insurgents. Many erroneous report 4

Hero we have developed a new govern
tent, under a Constitution, a printed copy
of which was also found and delivered to
the Federal authorities.. This -Head goar•

by Brown, under the name of fir
the ostensible purpose of farming, but plant •

lies six miles northeast tit' Harper's Ferry, in
the State of Maryland. here w.rir to be the
general rendezvous of the conspirators. and
from this point they marched on Harper 's
Ferry. on Sunday might Lana.
To Mr. Mills, Master of the Arnory who
was captured and kept in custody by Brown,
the ringleader said .
"We aro Abolitionists from the North •
we come to take and release your 'davit.

tehded to make the tlret demonstration nt
this point, when he expected to receive a
rapid increase of allies from Abolitionists
everywhere settled through Alaryland and
Virginia, sufllrtent to take possession of
both States, with all the negt °es they could
septum.
I asked it he did not e X pect to encounter
the Federal troopti. - ..
..Not if I had followed my plans I in
tended to remain here but a Teer hours, but
a lenient feeling towards the eitir.eii, led me
into a parley with them as to compt ionise,
and by prevarication on their part I was
delayed until attacked, and then in self de
-fence I was forced to entrench myself."
"What coured 'did you design taking from
this pOint 1" I asked.
"I had only a general ides on that point,
but do not wish to be too closely questioned,
lest I should say something which might
compromise me hereafter. But to your in
quiry I answer, I purposed a general South
west course through Virginia, varying as
circumstances dictated or required.
This was the scheme, as developed by the
notorious outlaw himself, and is confirmed
by the other prisoners. He was adverse to the
unnecessary shedding of blood, and during
the whale fight peremptorily forbid his men
shooting at any one unarmed and present
from curiosity. The demonstration made
with twenty-ttio men was only the signal
for action. The great body of his army re
mained to be enrolled, and recruits were ex
pected to Pour in from all directions.
Edwin Copdic, the only captive not
wounded, states :
"I am from lledar county, lowa, and am
24 years old ; I am a Republican philanthro
pint, and came here to aid in liberating =-
grecs ; I made the acquaintance of Capt.
Brown in lowa, as ho returned from Mumma,
and
,agreed to Ma his company ; Brown
wrote to me la July to cane on to Quin
bersburg, where he first revealed the whole
plot ; the whole company was opposed to
making the first demonstratiqn , at Harper's
Ferry, but Capt. Brown would have it his
own way, and we had to obey orders ; he,
promised large reinforcements as soon as
wo made a demonstration our rifles are
some of those furnished by the Massachu

This man i repiesented to be a most no
torious and blood-thirsty individual. Pos
sessing a large amount of brute courage, he
is reckless of his conduct, and hesitates not
to shoot an advt rsary, Some time ago he
got into a difficulty In the neighborhood of
Ilarper's Ferry call one of the railroad em
ployees. The fllllll was very close to Cook,
and rdien thu Istter drew his revolver,
seized it and turned the muzzle from its aim.
Cook discharged it, however, and the charge
passed through the clothing of the right Side
him wham he sought to kill. Before he
had time to lire the .weapon again he was
felled to the ground by a well-directed blow
with a slung shot, from the effect of which
he laid insensible for more than LWQ hotirs.
That, however, did not deter him from Mr
ther acts of outrage. his nativity is not
known. He Is said to be a man of fair ed
ucation, Gut is regarded by all who know
him as a designing and dangerous man.—
Cook married several years ago in the
neighborhood of Harper's Ferry, but it is
said that he left on Monday afternoon with
his family, but what direction he took could
not beascortained.
THE CONSPIRACY-THE LICTTSR TO THE HZCRIN
TART 0? WAR
The anonymous letter heretofore spoken
of as having been received by Gov. Floyd,
the Secretary of Wee, reached him while at
- Old Point. It stated that Insurrections
would, occur_ simultaneously at Wheeling,
Harper's Ferry, and Washington, for the
purpose of freeing slaves. It is understood
that about four hundred slaves have lately
escaped from Virginia and Maryland, under
the agencY of the emissaries. the people
et the adjacent country in Maryland and
,Virginia will be on tho look out for the run
aways before reaching Pennsylvania, (lot.
Wise, of Virginia, who in going up to the
scene of the riot, yesterday, had set on foot
the measure (which it sirbsequently became
necessary to carry out) for sending cavalry
from this city to hunt and pursue the fleeing
insurgents through any portion of Virginia,
and also by telegraph requested the Presi
dent of the United Sates to authorize the
cavalry to follow them Into any State or lo
cality, they having stolen the property and
treasure of the government, and placed its
stolen anti In the hands of negro" and
others. If they should get into Pennsylva
nia, tt is to bepresumed that the Governor
of that patriotic Uommon*ealth *ould
promptly &Ord all due assistance and au
thority in capturing such bloody and high
handed offenders against the laws, the peace
and dignity of sister States.

of traveling, and am pleased with the, gen•

think In the mountain scenery, an aspect of
haturo grand and itnposing. I have no lan
guage to describe the rugged and lofty sig
nificance of the tnountains, as they appear in
sublime majesty to the ekget eye of the en
quiring stranger. No country has been
more truly celebrated for the beauty of her
Mountain scenery—the purity of her tnean
doting streams—and the loved , character of
her vatleyi, than good old' Quaker Pennsyl

I will now endeator to describe some of
the peculiarities where I hold forth. Liberty
to a small village thirty miles north-west of
Williamsport. It contains three stores for
merchandising. There are three churches,
viz : one Methodist, one Evangelical, and
one Luthem. There is also a public house
of entertainment. What its peculiarities
are I am not informed. The people are
noted for benevolence, morality and intelli
gence. There is good society here, and the
genuine Yankee character prevails. Those
Well known commodities " hoops and Wino

perfectly fenced in with hoops and their
owners, They are a fast set of people all
around. The ladies are decidedly food of

you some faint idea In what respect they
differ from the people of Ventre 'ahoy. (
