"And this your eldest Mjn —how these young ones run up; aint an atom like von, Joe, my boy! but a very fine von rig fellow; " and he shook George heartily iiv the hand, to which George heartily respon ded-: lie Imkl not the least objection to be taken for one of the family, "lint what's this, my dear," said ha to Mary, frtra whom in truth he bad hardly taken off his eyes —"what's this? you've been crying." What could poor Mary do, but cry again? His voice was so kind; he looked so inquiring ly into her eves; he took her hand so gently. This was con.sin Jonn! Oh! how glad she was there was to be no more rejoicing over his monev! "I shan't cry any more now you ore come back." she said. "Now, no humbug," said cousin John ; "vou didn't cry for rue, you know; what's this ail about, eh!" • He was told ail about it. In half an lioui cousin John and- his heirs-expectant were llie best friends in the world. He was t ikeu into everybody's confidence; what he whispered to Marv no one ever knew, unless she has told George Harrison now they are married He promised to go back with Sam to school, and to skin Vardy, if necessary, iti case a magnifi cent supper to the whole fraternity of Lindiey House should not he found sufficient (with a quiet hint to the doetor)to insure Sam's future popularity without having recourse to that ex treme measure. liv the time the faithful Zicli ary had informed Mr. Grindle cf his principal's arrival in flesh and blood, and that gentleman had made himself up to couie down stairs, cousin John Simpson had been restored to his own again without a heartburning or a grudge from any one of his disinherited relations. Over Mrs. Simpson's and Augusta's disap pointment, we prefer to draw a veil. They bore it like women, and said they "always knew cousin John would turn up again." "Vou haven't told us, Mr. John," said Grindle, "how this strauge. mistake arose, after all?" "It comes by doing things by halves;" and he took a colonial newspaper out of his pocket and poiutcd out this paragraph to Mr. Grin die. "On the 11th ult., at Point de Galle, Cey lon, on his voyage home, Mr. John Simpson. ller Majesty's Consul at Trnnquebar, to Ce lest ine Sup/lie, relict of the late Count de.

She's a very fine woman, and can't speak a word of Eng lish, so there'll be no family quarrel-, Joe; and mind what I say, here's a country-house for yon and yonrs as lone as it stair'.- " Mr. and Mrs. John Simpson lmve no fain ily; and Mr. and Mrs. George Harrison are their constant guests. Virginia is still in ferment. "Old Gizzard foot" is ou his high horse, talking away by tlie hour, distributing arm.- to every county in the disturbed commonwealth, and putting the whole country into mortal terror at the in terminable letter which is >ure to com - from his pen. Harper's Ferry is yet in the par oxysms of fright, and Sandy llook is in mo mentary expectation of a general massacre. Throughout the entire Old "Dominion tin re is n hunting up of old swords, burnishing o! rifles, and carefully inquiry into the state and supply of the ammunition. The chivalry is agog for deeds of high emprise, and demanding to lie led against the million of Browns and Smiths whom its affrighted imagination lias conjured up "To arms! to arms! ye brave!" And what is the cause of all this commo tion ? What has occurred to stir up thus the courage of the undaunted sons of Virginia? Why this blowing of trumpets and marshal ling of hosts—this delivery of speeches of "learned length and thundering sound," and rattle of bayonets as the miglity battalions gather? Virginia has been invded! One of her strongholds has been captured ! Twenty men, fifteen of them whites, and five black, have marched into the bowels of the land, taken a town, captured an armory, formed a provisional government, treated (jov. Wise as nobody, blotted out the Constitution of Vir ginia, and put her entire people into convul sions of terror. One old man, with nineteen puny backers, has done it all ! If the thing had occurred at our Arsenal, here in Pittsburg, our day police would have put au end to the riot in an hour ; but down in tliat classic State, renowned for ebo-shins and gizzard-foots, oysters and Gov. Wise, there i a sudden hurrying to and fro of mill tary companies ; the aid of the General Gov ernment is invoked ; three or four thousand men are sped to the place of conflict ; old Brown and his nineteen I una tics are shot down, and the several thousand people of Harper's Ferry, huddled together like sheep, as their Governor uncomplimenturily observes, breathe freer and easier again ! But the end is not yet. Brown is mortally wounded, and fifteen of the fools who went with him are dead ; but the appalling dismay spread over Virginia by these twenty powerless men is not dispelled. The danger still con tinues, though they cannot tell from whence it is to coine. There must be danger, some where ; else why should the brave, chivulric, courageous Virginians be allot a tremble? Would they, the lion-hearted fellows of the nation, the very embodiment of vigorous cour age, would they tremble, think you, if there were not real danger ? Not a bit of it. Could twenty men scare two hundred thousand fight ing men out of their wits ? The thing is not to be thought of. They are the conservators of the national peace, and are not to be scared by any amount of Browns. Not they. Did not some three thousand of them re capture Harper's Ferry from the blood-thirsty Brown? Yes, sir ! They did it easy. Seriously, it i£ logghable to witness the ter rible fear into which Virginia has been thrown by a.paltry score of moon-strnck adventures. But why do they not let their fears subside, no.w that the dnngrr is over, (if it ever exis ted,/ and not try to put the whole country into a ferment became a cowardly village has been panic stricken? Flere in the North we suppress our own rows ; but over there they have to call on the President aud the army ; and now the craven Harper's Ferryites are striving to diffuse their nervous terrors over the country, without comprehending- how ridiculous they are making themselves. The whole of the original affair was silly euough ; but this ( ffort to keep up the excitement with exaggerated reports of a vast conspiracy and with flaming and furious editorials, is most in tensely sillv. It were better, far better for them to let the ridiculous muss die out of re membrance as soon as may be, and let the world forget, it |>Oasible, into wluit a pack of ninnies the descendants of the old Virginians have degenerated.— l'iltsburg Gazelle. 4-lttos from all Rations. —The balloon of La Mountain has been re covered by Mr. Cameron. aad forwarded to Troy.

We are pleased to sec this appreciation of the ability, energy and in tegrity of Mr. T. by bis neighbors, and having kuown him long and intimately, we cordially endorse and applaud the action of our Repub lican friends in that distant territory. He de serves the confidence and esteem which has been extended to him During the long and bitter contest, when democratic National Ad ministrutiocs sought to crush out the Principle and the Champion of Freedom in this District, he was one of the most active and useful among the many gallant spirits who hurled back de fiance to the Slave Power, and its facile and venomous Northern tools. Sympathizing from the outset with the suf ferings of the oppressed Free State men, the cause of Freedom and the fertile plains of Kansas lured him from the County in which he had resided for years, and he took up his residence in that Territory at a time when the accession of snch a hold and decided Republi can was of the utmost importance. His nomi nation for this important position is evidence that his neighbors appreciate his fidelity to the cause of Freedom, and his labors tomakeKan- sas a Free State. We trust that when she is formally received into the Union, Mr. THOMAS will be entitled to a seat in the Senate of the new State. At Philadelphia, Friday eveniug, Oct. 28, Hon. J. R. GIDDINGS interested a large audi ence by a lec'ure upon the outbreak at Harper's Ferry, its primary causes, and upon his own connection with the men engaged in it. He stated that he had invited BROWN to Jefferson County, Ohio, where he delivered a lecture oue Sunday after church relating his adven tures iu Kansas. After the lecture Mr. G. hud prompted the audience to contribute relief to the lecturer. Afterwards, BROWN took tea at his residence, where, as may readily be pre conceived, the conversation turned upon Slav ery. Though BROWN did not say he intended to visit the Slave States to free slaves, Mr. GIDDINGS inferred he would do so, if opportu nity offered, mainly from his having practiced that business in Missouri. These were the only times Mr. GIDDINGS saw BROWN ; and he as serts that neither in his lecture nor in his con versation did BROWN refer to any assistants or associates. No mention was made of a Harper's Ferry or Virginia organization, or of Provis ional Government. He acknowledges giving three dollars to BROWN'S son towards the necessities of his father, after the rescue of Doy from the kidnappers, a matter in which Mr GIDDINGS acknowledged taking strong in terest. In bestowing this gratuity, he had little idea that it was to be used in fitting out an expedition to capture Harper's Ferry, to effect the conquest of the Old Dominion, to strike terror to the Executive, or to imperil the Government. trial of JOHN BROWN, indicted for murder, treason, inciting negroes to rebellion, Ac., commenced on Wednesday last at Charles town, Virginia. The Court assigned him counsel, but on the third day, Mr. IIOYT of Boston appeared as counsel, but declined tak ing any active part for the present. BROWN bears himself defiantly, contending that a fair trial was impossible. On the fourth day of the trial his Virginia counsel, retired from the rase, owning to a want of confidence on the part of BROWN. IIENRY GKISWOLD of Cleve land and SAMUEL CHII.TON, of Washington city ou Saturday, appeared as counsel for the pri soner. The defence for BROWN was mainly his treatment of the prisoners and his reluctance to fire on the assailants of the armory. The evidence was closed on Saturday, and the opening argument for the Commonwealth made. The prisoners counsel were to address the jury on Monday, when the case probably went to the jury. The trial is of no public interest, because the facts are already known, and the verdict a forgone conclusion. ftaT" The statement, says the Washington Star, that the appointment of the assistant marshals to take the ceusus was to be an nounced in a few days, having been copied into onr columns from some other source, we think it proper to state that these officers will not be appointed before spring, as the de tails of the work of the next census will not be commenced before the Ist of June, 1860. Twenty-four of the forty-two organized counties of Kansas give a majority for the Constitution of 3,753 votes. The total vote of the Territory will not exceed 10,000. PENNSYLVANIA. —The present is the first time in which the Opposition hnve been able to carry Pennsylvania at two consecutive dec' tions. They carried it in 1835 and were beaten in 1830; ogain in 184U, but were beateu out of sight in 1841. In 1858 it was again carried by the Opposition, but the demoeraej rallied and recovered it in 1849. It was afterwards carried by the united Op position in 1854, hot was lost in 1855. With these facts before them the democracy have been in the habit of boasting that they could not be beateu twice in succcsMon ; and we well remember the force with which Mr Ilugus cautioned the rampant Bnchananites at the State Convention in Harrisburg last March that they could not afford, to be beaten tw ice consecutively. It would break their prestige ; and that once lost, the party could not recover it. Well, the charm has been broken, at last ; and now that the worshippers of De mocracy see that it is mortal and vulnerable, they will drop away from its shrine with ail the chargin of disappointed devotees. The party can never recover from the two shocks it has received. THE SOUTHERN FILIBUSTERS RELEASED.—A different measure has been meted to Walker and bis crew than will be probably dealt to ; Brown and his set. Walker, who organized an armed invasion to a peaceful neighboring state, has been acquitted by the New Orleans j couits; but Brown can only look forward to execution. Yet we do not see that Brown's enterprise was any whit more atrocious than Walker's. Both contemplated invasion and blood-hod. But the design of Brown was relieved by a generous though mistaken pur-) pose of giving freedom to an oppressed race, while that of Walker had no other end than to establish slavery on a new soil. Brown was the victim of his own heated and disor dered fancies, while Walker planned his schemes in cold blood, and with the most de-1 liberately selfish ends. Southern law knows of no penalty for Walker, although it cau scarcely wait its own tardy process in its eagerness for the life of Brown. FIRF.S. —A destructive fire occurred in Ringhamton last Tuesday morning. It broke out in the Cooper Shop of Win, F. Young, an extensive building, which was entirely con sumed, destroying books and papers to the amount of upwards of $3,000. Mr. Young was very much injured by falling down stairs, while groping about in the burning building for his books and papers. The fire next communicated to Mr. Weed's Tannery, which was partially consumed, to gether with a large quantity of leather ; but the property destroyed was mostely covered by iuMirance. llow the fire originated is not known.
