That Columbia may be properly represen ted at this election it will be necessary that some cAirsc of action on the part of our citizens shall be agreed upon, and to that end we have been authorized to give notice through the columns of the Spy that a meeting will be held this evening, at tho Town lull, at S o'ch.ck. We have already conscientiously discharged our duty to our owtt particular public in urging action in the matter of a proper subscription to this it road, but will again ask the peor le to give ' the project the support it roost certainly de.' serves.

I are weary with recapitulating the good ef fect of the building of this rood with a ter minus in our borough, and we do not think the people require information or. that sub ject; but they need stirring to action, and as we have said as much to encourage it as is right and proper, we leave it to personal influence on the part of some of our most energetic citizens to effect this. We entreat however, a general attendance at the meet ing this evening, a sinking of all personal I differences and antipathies and a general pull together fur the good of the old town.

OSE OF s PILIV/LECED Ctsss.—On Sat urday, 15th inst., David Johns was escorted to the Blue Front by Richard, who charged him with unmitigated inebriation and gen eral vagrancy, and asked that the machin ery of justice might be:set in motion, to the chastening of said violator of the morals and disturber of the peace of our good borough. Prisoner—a wooden-legged veteran, appa rently somewhat worn by the friction of a hard world— was asked if he had any rea son to assign why the extreme double back action crank motion of the law should not be applied. Prisoner had reasons—plenty of them. He was an old soldier, and bad served his country faithfully. Had been engaged for two years in bloody conflict with Billy Bowlegs and the mosquitoes of the Florida Everglades. Had served through the Mexican war. Was at the storming of Monterey, fought at Cerro Gordo, was in the forlorn hope at Chapultepec and was the first man to enter the City of Mexico, near the gates of which he tried to atop a 24 pounder with his foot, and singularly failed in his undertaking. His leg was amputated, and on his recovery he was presented by a grateful country with an honorable dis charge, a title to one hundred and sixty gores of lantl,.a.nd. the priyilttge of retiring [ to the Soldiers' Home near 'Washington City. Had tried that"delightfal retreat, but found the life too monotonous fora man of his stirring disposition . There was no to bacco and no whisky, with Out which what is life?

"Now, Colonel, bring on year file of men and orderme to execution!" The prisoner drew bimself up with dignity, and giving the justice_ the military salute, awaited his doom with the heroic fOrtiticle of the drunken Amer- ican warrior. The "Colonel" fetched the 'Squire. Springing to his feet and striking a majestic hermaphrodite attitude, half military nod half judicial, he exclaimed: "Perish the man who'd restrain the defend er of his country from getting drunk! [A little selfish in the 'Squire! En.] The Sen tence of this court is that you be honorably dismissed from your present state of tempo rary restraint, receive .an apology from Richard for his mistake in profaning your sacred person by the hand of the law, and that you be and are hereby invested with the privilege of getting drunk when you please, and as drunk as you please, any where. within the jurisdiction of said court. Comm.''n In furtherance of which the 'Squire bled to- the tune of fifty cents, and the man of war proceeded to curry the sen tence into immediate execution. A Ft.r.BY->\rcur.--On Tuesday last com plaint was made before Justice Walsh that during the preceding night the proprietor and premier artiste of the clean and easy tonsorial department of the Blue Front, William Jackson, to wit, had departed mysteriously, carrying with him the valu able fittings and belongings of that justly celebrated saloon. By invitation of Hol lingsworth William appeared at the office the saute day and (remanded a hearing, de nying with indignation the charge of larceny. He claimed that the chattels were his own lawful property, and that he had a freeman's right to remove them at will, and at such hour as to him seemed• meet. He would not have his ownership questioned, nor his rights infringed. He removed at night to amid site wind and dust, and he'd liketrsea the nigger who would gainsay his authority so to do. He gave this es . - planation voluntarily; not that it was any body's business when or where he moved; but when a man has a good and sufficient reason for his actions, it's as well to satisfy neighborly cariosity by assigning it. Several witnesses were called to prove the owner ship of the personal. Charles Williams, deputy shepherd of the establishment, was put on the stand, and after a -protracted struggle was brought, by a threat of thirty days, to waive his conscientious scruples in favor of affirmation, and be sworn. On his solemn engagement to tell the truth, the whole troth and nothing but the the truth, Charles informed the Worshipful Court, in answer to a loading question as to the ownership of the goods, that "Gruby knows; az him." This was the amount of Charles' valuable testimony, and on a hint from the 'Squire that he had bettor prepare to go down long enough to become thoroughly sober—say thirty days at the lowest chlcu lation—slipped out of the door and "broke fu' de Hill." The testimony not satisfac torily establishing William's claim to the movables, he was ordered to find security in the sum of $lOO for his appearance attho November term, to answer the charge of larceny.

We will give such particulars as we can make room fur. Wo copy from the Baltimore Anteriqap: The principal originstor of the insurrec tion, and the chief 'leader on its short but bloody existence, was undoubtedly Captain John Brown, whose connection with the scenes of violence and border warfare in Kansas then made his name fruniiiarly no torious to the whole country. Captain Brown made his first appearance in the vi cinity of Harper's Ferry more than a year ago, accompanied by his two sons, the whole party assuming. the name of Smith. They inquired about land in the vicinity, made investigations as to the probability of find ing ores, and for some time hoarded at San dy Hook, one mile east of Harper's Ferry. After an absence of some months they reap peared in the vicinity, and The elder Brown rented or leased a farm on the Maryland side, about four miles from Harper's Ferry. They bought a large number of picks and spades, and thus confirmed the belief thnt they intended to mine ores. They were seen frequently in and about fret-pees Fer ry, but no suspicion scorns to have existed that "Bill Smith" was Captain Brown, or that he intended embarking in a movement so desperate and extraordinary. Ye, the development of the plot leaves nodeubt that his visits to the Ferry and his lease of the farm were all parts of his preparation for en insurrection which he supposed was to be successful in exterminating slavery in' Ma ryland and Western Virginia. Capt. Brown's chief aid was Juhre E. Cook, a comparatively young man, who has resided in and near Harper's Ferry for some I years. Ile was first employed in tending a luck on the canal. He afterwards taught school on the Maryland side, and after a brief residence in Kansas where it is sup posed that he became acquainted with Brown, returned to the Ferry, and married there. Ile was regarded as a man of some intelligence, known to be anti-slavery,- but not so violent in the expression of his opin ions es to excite any suspicions. These two men with Brown's two sons, were the only white men connected with the insurrection that had been seen about the Ferry. All were brought by Capt. Brown from a dis tance and nearly all bad been with him in Kansas. oThe first active movement in the insur rection was made about half-past ten o'clock on Sunday night. Wm. Williams, watch man on Harper's Ferry Bridge, whilst walking across towards the Maryland side was seized by n number of men, who said he was their prisoner and must come with them. He recognized Brown and Cook among the men, and knowing them treated the matter ne.B joke;'but enforcing silence they condueted him to the armory which he found already in their possession. lie was retained till after daylight and them dis charged. The watchman who was to re lieve Williams at midnight, found the bridge lights all out, and immediately was seized. Supposing it an attempt at robbery, he broke away and his pursuers stumbling over the track he escaped. The next appearance of the insnrrection ists watt at the house of Col. Lewis Wash ington, a large farmer and slave owner, liv ing about four miles from the Ferry. A party heasled by Cook proceeded there, roused Col. W and told him he was a pri soner. They also seized all the slaves near the houses, took a carriage and horse and a large wagon with two horses. From Col. Washington's they proceeded with him a prisoner in his carriage, end twelve of his negroes in the wagon, to the house of Mr. Allstadt, another large farmer on the same road. Mr. Allstadt, and his son, a lad of sixteen. were taken prisoners, all their negroes within reach forced to join the movement, and they returned to the ar mory at the Ferry. All these movements seem to have been made without exciting the slightest alarm in the town, nor did the detention of Capt. Phelps' train at the up per end of the town attract attention. It was not until the town thoroughly waked up and found the bridge guarded by armed men, and a guard stationed at all the ave nues, that the people found they were pri soners. A panic appears to have immedi ately ensued, and the number of the insur rectionists at once magnified frem fifty which was probably their greatest force, including the slaves forced to join, to fretn five to six hundred. In the meantime, a number of .the workmen knowing nothing of what had occurred, entered the Armory, and were in stantly taken prisoners, ontil at one time I they had not lees than sixty men confined. As the day advanced, and the news spread around, and people came into the Ferry, the first demonstrations of resistance were made to the insurrectionists. A guerilla warfare emumenced, chiefly led on by a man named Chambers whose house commanded the Ar mory yard. A colored man named Hay ward, railroad porter was shot early in the morning for refusine" to join the movement. Next man shot was Joseph Burley, a citi zen of Harper's Ferry. lie was shot whilst standing in his own door. About this time also Sarni. P. Young, Esq., was shot dead. He was coming into the town on horseback, carrying a gun, when be was shot from the Armory, receiving a wound of which he died during the day. He was a graduate of I West Point, and greatly respected in the I neighborhood fur his high character and no ble qualities. 7542 4 029 3533 The insurrectionists at this time ending a disposition to resist them had withdrawn nearly all within the Armory grounds, leav ing only a guard on the bridge. About noon the Charlestown troops, under the command of Col. Robert W. Baylor, arrived, crossing the Potomac river some distance up and marching down the Maryland side to the mouth of the bridge. Firing a volley they made a gallant dash across the bridge, clearing it of the insurrectionists who re treated rapidly down toward the Armory.— In this movement one of the insurrectionists, named William Thompson, was taken pri oner. The Shepherdstown troops next ar rived, marching down the Shenandoah side and joining the Charlestown forces at the bridge. A desultory exchange of shots fol lowed, one of which struck. Mr. Fontaine Beckham, Mayor of the town and agent of the Railroad Company, in the breast, pass ing entirely through his body: the ball was a large elongated slug, making a dreadful wound.. He died almost immediately. Mr. Beckham was without arms and was ex posed only for a moment whilst approaching the water station. Me assailant, one of 7280 3469 3811 7459 3605 3854 3982 3983 7520 7530 3547 3502 4022 4034 4014 7516 2585 EIM 7533 3564 3969 Brownie sons, was shot almost immediately, but aninagety to get back to. the engine , house:where his dead body war fogad the . next day. The . : murder o° Mr. Beckham excited' the peopliand the .cry was, immediately made to bring out the prisoner Thompson. Ho was brought out on the bridge and shot down„;:from the bridge be fell into the water, and some appearance of life still remaining li'e was : again riddled ; with balls. — At this time a general charge was made down the street from the bridge tewardwthe Armory gate by the Charlestown and Shep hordstown troops and the Ferry people.— From behind the Armory wall a fusilade was kept up, and returned by the insurrec tionists from the Armory buildings, Whilst this - was going OD, the Martinsburg levies arrived at the upper end of the town, and entering the Armory grounds by the rear, .made an attack from that end. This force NM largely composed of the railroad em ployees gathered from the tonnage trains at Martinsburg,. and their attack was gener ally spoken of showing the greatest amount of fighting pluck exhibited during the day. Dashing on, firing and' cheering, and gal lantly led by Captain Alburtis, they carried the building in which the Armory men were imprisoned and released the whole of them. They were however but poorly armed, some with pistols and others with shot guns, and when they came within range of the engine house, where the elite of the insurrectionists were gathered, and were exposed to their rapid and dexterous use of Sharp's rifles, they were forced to fall back, suffering pretty severely. Conductor Evan Dorsey. of Baltimore. was mortally wounded, and conductor George Richardson received a wound from which he died during the day. Several others were wounded, among them a son of Dr. Murphy. of Harper's Ferry. At ten o'clock on Monday night the train with the Baltimore military and United States Marines arrived ut Sandy Hook, where they waited for the arrival of Col. Lee, deputised by the War Department to take command. The night passed without serious alarms, but not without excitement. The marines were marched over immediately after the arrival of Cal'. Lee, and were stationed with in the armory grounds, so as to completely surrottnci the engine house. Oecasional shots were fired by country volunteers— what fOr was not understood; but there was only one return fire from the insurgents. The building in which the insurgents had made their stand was the fire engine house, and no duubt the most de ensible building itt the Armory. It has dead brick walls on three sides.,end on the fourth, large doors, with window sashes above, some eight feet from the ground. Various opinions were given as to the number of personswithin, and the amount of resistence they would be able to offer, Cannon could nut be used without endangering the safety of Col. Washington, Mr. Dangerfield, Mr. Ball, and other citizens, who they still held• prison ers. Shortly after seven o'clock, Lieut. J. E. B. Stuart, of theist Cavalry, who was act ing as. aid' for Col. Lee, advanced to parley with the besieged, Samuel Strider, Esq., an old and respectable citizen, bearing a flag of truce. They were recived at the door by Capt. Brown. Lieut. Stuart demanded an unconditional surrender, only promising them protection from immediate violence, and trial by law. Capt. Brown refused all terms but those previously demanded, which were substantially, "That he should be permitted to march out with his men and arms, taking their prisoners with them: that they should proceed unpursued to- the second toll-gate, when the would free their prisoners. The soldiers were then at liberty to pursue and they would fight if they could not escape." Of course this was- refused and Lieut. Stuart pressed upon Brown his desperate position, and urged a surrender. The expostultition though beyond ear-shot was evidently very earnest, and the coolness of the Lieutenant and the courage of his aged flag-bearer won warm praise. At this moment the interest of the scene was intense. The volunteers were arranged all around the building, cutting off escape in every direction.. The marines divided in two squads were ready fur a dash at the dour. Finally Lieut. Stuart, having ex bausted all argument with the determined Captain Brown, walked slowly from the door. Immediately the signal for attack was given., and the marines, headed-by Col. Harris and Lieutenant Green ads-mice& in two lines on each side the door. Two pow erful fellows sprang between the lines and with heavy sledge hammers - attempted to batter down the door. The door swung and swayed, but appeared to be secured with a rope, the spring of which deadened the ef fect of the blows. Fitiling thus to obtain a breach, the marines were ordered to fall back, and twenty of them took hold of a ladder, some forty feet--long and advancing at a run brought it with tremendous power ' against the door. At 'he second blow it gave way, one leaf falling inward in a slant ing position. The marines immediately ad vanced to the breach, Major Russel and Lieutenant Green leading. A marine in the front fell; the firing from the interior is rapid and sharp, they fire with deliberate aim, and for the moment the resistance is serious and desperate enough to excite the spectators to somethig like a pitch of frenzy. The next moment the Marines pour in, the firing ceases, and the work was done whilst the cheers rang from every side, the general feeling being that the marines had done their part admirably. When the insurgents were brought out— some dead, others wounded—they were greeted with execrations, and only the pre cautions that had been taken aved them from immediate execution. The crowd, nearly every man of which had a gan, swayed with tumultuous excitement, and cries of "shoot them," "shoot than," rang from every side. The appearance of the liberated prisoners, all or whom, through the steadiness of the marines, escaped in jury, changed the current of feeling, and prolonged cheers took the place of howls and execrations. In the assault private 6 Ruppert, or the marines, received a ball in the stomach and was believed to be fatally wounded, another received a slight flesh wound in the face: Captain John Brown, the commander and instigator of this most singular project, has been known by the name of "Osawat tamie Brown," in which character he ob tained quite a notoriety throughout the country, as one of the leaders of the Free State party in Kansas. lie was the hero of fifty guerilla fights in the vicinity of Osawattamie, in one of which his stn Frederick Brown was killed. Ms skill and bravery in this species of warfare was un disputed. On one occasion, when attacked by one hundred and fifty Missourians, with a party of forty, be retreated to the woods, kept them at bay, and after a fight of five hours, had lost two men killed and one wounded, whilst his opponents left thirty one dead on the field, and took away with them about thirty wounded. On one occasion he had a conflict with the famous pro-slavery leader, Captain Pate, each party numbering about thirty. He killed four and took twenty-six prisoners, including the Captain. who afterwards highly complimented Ceptaitt Brown for his bravery. saying that be "rode about them, sword in hand, sad commanded a surrender, and they were obliged to male it." The two sans who were engaged with him in the Harper's Ferry invasion, were also with him in his Kansas fights, Ottowa Jones, especially, figured extensively with his rather in Kansas, and his residence be tween Lawrence andPsawattamie" lima ;de stroyed' by Sre'by thoi) pro-slavery men, mt . the same day that his brother was killed; Beside Captain- Brawn, - the prisoners taken are his son, witois,seriOusly wounded in the abdomen and not likely to live; Ed win Coppuck, who belongs to lowa, and a negro named Shields Preen, who came froth Pittsburg to join Brown. The stories• of all these men are prec sely the same; they agree as to the object they agreed to Imam plish and the . number of parties in the movement. Young Brown in answer to a question said that there were parties in the North connected with the movement— thus difrering with his father on this point. Coppuck, the other white prisoner, is quite young, and seems less shrewd than the others. He said he did not wish to join the expedition, and when asked gave a re ply which showed the influence Brown had over him. He said: "Ahl you gentlemen don't know Captain Brown, when he calls for us we never think of refusing to come." Several slaves were found in the room with the insurrectionists, but it is not be lieved that they were there" willingly. In deed Brown's expeotations as to the slaves running to him was entirely disappointed. None seem to-have come to him• willingly, and in most cases they were forced to de sert ;their masters. But one instance in which a slave made a public appearance with arms in his hands is related. A negro who had been sharply used by one of the town people, when be found he had a pike in his hand, used his "brief authority" to arrest the citizen and have him taken to the Armory. HARPER'S FERRY, Oct. ro.—The wounds of - Old Osawattamie" , Brown are not at all dangerous, and he is to-day almost well again. Dr. Dunbar has attended him, pro fessionally, as skillfully and kindly as if he had not deserved his fate. He is calm and cool, and exhibits that resoluteness, in view of his certain fate, which is a part of his nature. Its fanaticism is of that char acter which shuts out all doubt from his own mind about the propriety of the des perately wild foray in which be was en gaged. He takes it for granted that he was right, cares for nobody else's opinion, and views the murders he and his men commit ted as merely the necessay result of the war in which he had engaged against slavery. He professes to be prepared fur trial, though having no doubt of his conviction, and avers his readiness to die on the. scaffold, though he would not like to be slaughtered by the mob. lle made a statement to Gov. Wise this morning, of which the following is the sub stance; "I will be sixty years old next month. I rented the Kennedy farm six months ago. It belongs to Dr. Kennedy, of Sharpsburg, Md.; had paid the rent up to' March next. I never had over twenty-two men at any one-time at that farm; who belonged to my regular organization, but f had good reason to expect reinforcements from Maryland, Kentucky, North and South Carolina and Canada (negroes and whites), and had arms enough on the farm to arm about fifteen hundred men—not quite full. The arms consisted of 200 revolvers, 200 Sharp's rifles, and 1000 spears. I left these arms at the farm. We had plenty of powder and fixed amunition. We brought all the arms from time to time from• the East to Cham bersbarg, Pa., and' they were there packed in double boxes, so as to deceive the parties who hauled them to the farm. They were directed to J. Smith & Sons, Kennedy farm, that being the name we had assumed." The following is the list of the insurrec• tionists given by Captain Brown, with the rank they held in his service, and their place of birth. We have arranged the list so as tu•shetv who are dead and wounded: MEM Captain John Brown, coran:anner•in-chief —wounded, will recover. Capt. Oliver Brown—dead, 1 , sons of Capt. 'Watson Brown—dead, I Capt. Brown. Captain Aaron C. Stevens, Connecticut— badly wounded; three balls; cannot possibly recover. Lieutenant Edwin Coppuck, lowa—un wounded.

Copeland, Ohio, raised in Virginia —prisoner nt Charleston. *Captain Brown stated that this man was a Member of Congresfr under the "Provisional Government" he intended es- tablishing. We have room only for the main incidents given above. In addition, the daily papers give many interesting particulars of the af fair, with sketches of the previous career of some of the chief actors, the Constitution of the 'Provisional Government," which "Gen eral" Brown collected to establish, &c. COMPLIMENTARY SUPPER.—The members of the Friendship Fire Company have made arrangements to give the West Philadelphia Engine Company a. complimentary supper, at the "Brady House," on Monday evening the 31st of October. The occasion will be an interesting one, and creditable to the lib. erality of the "Bloody Reds," who will spare no expense in getting up the entertainment. --.Elarr6burg Telegraph.

The old lady put the boi of pills up on the top shelf, out of Ike's way, lest be should take them by mistake, as be often did the preserved damsons.

Mr. L. has suffered as much from Epilepsy, as any other person in the world: never knowing what it was to pass a week without having an attack, and often fall ing. in the streets of Huntsville. He is now fully restored and has net had an attack tea• more than a year, Dr. Hanee's Pills have been the sure cause of this cure.
