thing; and yet I am not altogether igntirant-eon•
darning it.
Moro than a year ago, when the Kunead trou
ea had coma to an ond, a gentleman—for such he,
roe by birth and brooding—fresh from .the mono of
attire and roatly for another contoat, called to see
Ino - at my office. He was a soldier by - profession;
had 1401'0"r:freedom in litingary and on the
laine of Kansas; and was now ready, if an oppor
tunny itrould 'offer, - to' draw his sword in the same
behilf in the-mountains of Virginia, or in the
!swamps of South 'Carolina. On this last point he
;wanted to know my opinion, which, of course, I was
proiript to give:
Our enterprise," I said, is a moral one. it
rejects 'the sword. It seeks to accomplish its end
'by ideas.' It appeals to the understanding, the
heart,.the'eonseibnce, the puree. Its object is, by
changing publio.opinion, to afoot a moral revolu-
Hon ; that to be followed by 'a proper political
reconstruction, tho same to be accomplished by the
least possible exercise of force." This, ho said,
was all well enough in theory, but it would not
work in practice. It wee too slow. Iri the ini
tiatory stages of the movement it might do wall
enough, but the time had coins when something
more decisbro was Called for. lie was not an Abe
litioniet in, the Coinmon sense of the word, but ho
was a 'friend of freedom the world over, and was
ready, at any time, to unsheathe his sword ngainst
oppression. -Did I know John Brown, of Ossawat
tomb° ?, No, I did not knew him, though I had
often beard of him. Well, said ho; I don't like
him ; ho and I don't agree. Ho has treat
ed mo badly; but he is a brave man and, an
efficient soldier. He has' oOtne home burning un
der a ewe of the wrongs be and his countrymen
sufferatin Kansas at the bands of the slaveholders,
and,is determined to make reprisal. He wants to
,organise a bind to go South, establish himself in
the mountains, and inaugurate n species of gue
rilla warfare for the liberation of slavery. Are
-there any *Ong your friends that would eo-ope
rifle in such an undertaking? To the best of my
knowledge and belief there was not one. Well, he
would find ; them somewhere; for he was bent on
fighting the slaveholders with their own weapons
—the use of which they had so well taught him in
!he healer; of Kansas.
Such, in substance, was the conversation between
Captain and myself' of whom or from whom
I- have neverheard since that time, But soon after
We; I heard; from another source, that John Brown
was atilt - meditating a descent on tivi slaveholders.
'and was 'only waiting to find coadjutors: And

man, just returned from foreign travel, stopped in

with him, dropped eilliresaions implying his know.

me most, of his 'approval of Thom. Ascertaining
my sentiment's lin the subject, he djd not make 'me
- a confidant, anti not anticipating any serious result,
'nor any immediate result of any kind, I made no
particularinguiriea.
.This is the extent of my knowledge In regard to
this startling affair.' When I heard the first rumor
yesterday„l credited it, and believed that John
Brown had a hand in it; subsequent disclosures
Ihare proved that I was right.
This is the beginning of the end. The dragons'
teeth which have been so profusely sown, have
sprung up and are bearing their natural fruit.

THE PRESS.--PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19; 1859;
Letter from “Occasional."
[Correepondenee of The Pone.]
WABUINOTON, October le, MO
The number of °and ldatesfor the French mission,
striae the announcement of tho sudden death of
:halloo. John V Mason, Is daily increasing. In
truth, the death of Mr. Mason is a calamity, net
merely Obis family, but to Mr.Buolutnan, inasmuch
as it multiplies the applicants for that important
position. Mr. Mason, before hie death, wondered,
repeatedly, why he had not been recalled. Gentle
' mon now in Washington, who visited Paris during
tho last year, have hoard Mr. Mason speak of the
President and his policy, publicly, in contempt and
scorn ; and ho was retained, not because the presi.
dont did not desire that he should make a vacancy
be a resignation, but because the President was un
willing to select between the catalogue of eandi•
dates for that position. Who would not like to go
to Franca as the American minister? It is a de
lightful situation. There is scarcely an Adminis
tration champion, from tho Aroostook to the Rio
Grande, who would not be highly gratified with an
appointment as minister to the Court of St. Cloud.
New York is crowded with aspirants for the Trench
mission; so of Now Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Maryland, Virginia, 3:13. How shall the President
decide, in full view of tho conflicting claims of the
prosent_probable and possible candidates?
In thrdays when you and I knew Mr. Buchanan,
ho was not remarkable for personal courage, but
after his election to the Presidency, in making
James Gordon Bennett his organ, after the aforo
said Bennett had treated him with the utmost con
tempt and scorn, ho did an not which showed' he
was of the highest courage. I still contend that, hav
ing selected James Gordon Bennett as his organ.
and confidant, and friend—after having forced
Bennett and his family into society in 'Washington,
and after having scolded his' own people into call ,
lag upon Mr. and Mrs. Bennett in New York, it
would be a shame if the President did not follow
out this example, and nominate Bennett to the
Senate as the successor of John Y. Mason.
The Opposition politicians in this quarter aro
beginning to look to John M. Rend as the Repub.
Roan candidate for President of the United States.
The excitement at Harper's Ferry against the
institution of slavery in Virginia, while I write,
(speaking froth intelligence just now received), has
been effectually crushed—ending in the execution
of the leaders of the insurrectionary party. The
whole affair only displays , the folly and the mad
ness of fanaticism. The people living in that part
of Virginia have'been excessively agitated by the
events which have transpired, and feel greatly re
lieved by the vengeance which has been visited
upon the heads of the offenders. The lesson, how-,
ever, which this tragedy teaches, both to the North
and South, is, that the only way to deal with sla
very la to regard it as a question otpoliry, not of
maialtty. It is an offensive absurdity to put the
continuance of slavery in the South upon any other
grounds than those of expediency and of law.
The Mr. Turner who was shot by the rioters at
Harper's Ferry, was, I believe, a relative of Capt.
Thomas Turner, of the U. S. navy, and a citizen
of your State. Ho was a gentleman of learning;
influence, and great public spirit, having been
educated at West Point. Ile resided on his farm
in the vicinity of the disturbance, and in attempt
ing to arrest it lost his life, Mr. Lewis Washing
ton, ono of the hostages captured by Captain
Brown, is well known in Philadelphia, slid is a
lineal descendant of General George Washington.
Mr. Faulkner, late member of Congress from the
Martinsburg, Va., district, behaved with great
gallantry on the occasion referred to, as indeed
did most of the leading men of both parties in tho
neighborhood.
• I am happy to say, in reference to this riot, that I
have yet to meet the first man in Washington who
does not deplore it on every ground. Bven those
who aro opposed to the institution of slavery re
fuse to give It' their approyal. I have rarely
known this city more disturbed than when the pi : .
mor of tho insurrection reached here. Wo have a
large number of slaves, and an immense free
colored population. As you are yourself aware,
many slaves
: escape from their masters at this
point, and the anti slavery organ hero has a largo
circulation, not only among the colored, but among
our white population; and yet I do not believe there
aro ton anon in Washington, whatever their
opinions may be, who would not resist, to the ut
toimost, any appeal to 'Mena° for the purpose of
putting down the tt Daintier institution" in oar
midst. OCPASIONM,

In Jmige Penglas' speech at Wooster, Ohio,
when commenting upon the Attorney General's
felsifleations of history, end of hislouglas') pub
linden in Maw, ho referred N o wall-known
feet that the Attorney General h written letters
all over Illinois. during the campaign of 1958, de
nouncing him, (Douglas.)
No sooner had that speech been published before
the Attorney General addressed letters to all the
persons In this State to whom he had written last
year, denouncing Douglas, stating that Douglas
hid ni . adet t i_in eliarge, and he was fearful' that HMO
of that Marespondenee would bo made public, and
therefore he, the Attorney general of the United
Statee, requested the return elan Air j i lettere, writ
ten about Douglas during /858.
We know of one tuatepes n whore, in compli
ance with Black ' s request , 'a six-paged letter fill
of contemptible and dikertteeful abuse of Deug.
las, written by Black in 1858, has been returned to
him. jn a few days we hope to publish a copy of
one of ids letters l?egging tho return of his coffee
nondencte—correlmondenee which he, the Attorney
General; 'llahamsd or and arra-bit belag made
public !
Another reason:why this correependeneo is so
earnestly sought for by the Attorney General to,
that when he Once has had it all returned to him,
he can deny that any snob correvondence was ever
written, sod defiantly demand its production.
In a few days, provided ho can get them all
back, we expect to see the Attorney (Immo(' pub
lish an authoritative denial of baring over written
any such letters. The dodge, infamous As it is,
will not avail the Attorney General. A ropy of
the original letter, made from it, will bo as good
evidence against the writer,
when the possession of
the original oan bo (raged to the writer, as the
original itself would be, If the Attorney General
understands anything ot thp rules of evidence. he
must understand that as long as the original lettere
can be proved to have been returned to him at his
own request, copies of those ()Hest& are as good
evidence against hint as the originals themselves.

a meeting of the stockholders of the Green and Coates
streets Pansenger Railway Company was held at their
Mice. on Walnut street. yesterday at noon, to consider
the question of rennin.' the oars on the Green and
Contea•streeta branch of the corneae''s road on holi
day. W. O. Kline. Esq.. was called to the chair, B.
Rush Petri ke n. Esq., acting es secretary.
Hon. James Cooper. president of the commit". slated
the object of the meeting. It is a matter which the
stockholder.; should have an opportunity to decide. The
meeting was called to afford them that opportneity.
Mr. George Reed said he sew no way of deciding the
question except by a stock vote.
Mr. Cooper said, that to carry out the views of Mr.
Reed, he would more that the question be pot to
vote, each stockholder to vote " aya" or " nay," ac.
cording to the number of shares of stock he holds.
Mr. Setriken thought that running the CATS intll Itt•
teekins the religions sense of the community It wart
too erect a strain on the muscle of men and horses to
compel them to labor on the Sabbath. Six days are
enough for man or horses to to 1. In thie matter of Sao-
Or travel the &means would be working alone. and be
waii unwilling that it slionld tale the odium of the map.
Me believed that the religious communitY would shun
the rent of a line which run neon the Sabbath. 'Che
sneaker could not forget his early training which taught
him to remora:it tie Rabbath, and apart from this feeling
he believed it would recult in a pecuniary loss to the
company Pt run their cars ppm ti.st day,
Alter seine remarks by Mr. Cooper, concerning the'
rollero of the company, Mr. Petriken said he believed
he running el' care upon Sunday would immensely
benefit the health and morals of the yawner classes,
thousands of whom were penned up during the week,

advantage. to the health and morals of the masses. to
run care upon Sunday, he thought it would he bad policy
for the comotny to array itself against the religious
sense of the community, and he would, therefore, op
pose the measure.
Mr. Me roar spoke of the running of the oars upon
the Sabbath as a desecration or the day, which would
brine its own punishment. If this first step wee coerces
ful. other companies would follow, nod there would b
an end of the American Protestant Sabbath, and the day
would become devoted to licentiousness. as it is in

Mr. Cooper, althon/h holding the opinion that In' e
ning cars upon tee Sabbath was not n breach of the
Peace nor vet a violation of the Deoalorue. wait still of
opinion that it would be bad POlicy to run their cars with
the'Sterier prdhatlllity that thdr would again he stopped,

Mr. popper continued in this etrain et considerable
length, and concluded by saying that he deemed it on
