Vrtssf THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1859. The Late Senator Broderick. Mr. George I.Vilke's, in his Spirit of the Time for tile current week, gives a deeply interesting memoir of David C. Broderick. As Mr. 'Wilkes was for years Mr. B.'s intimate personal friend, this ineincir will justly attract general attention. Me thigke that there was a conspiracy to put the Indomitable Senator out of tho way, and that Mr. 11., wha Was aware of It, should not have accepted Terry's ohallenze. Ills memoir thus concludes : The fatal day arrived. Tho party appeared upon' the' ground ; the pistols which bad been ori ginally' chosen were changed, by a toss for choice, for a smaller pair, which wore furnished by the Terry. , party. Tho prinoipais and monde took their Vireos, while sixty or seventy, spectators looked'on to see the lofty sacrifice prolldly receive his death. Mr. Broderick seemed not to be able to accommodate his hand to tho strange and some what diminutive handle of the pistol, and was late to take the word. Finally ho declared himself ready 4 but before lie had raised his weapon from a the angle, it wont off, and lost his ;millet in the ground. It did not seem as if ho could have touched the trigger, and he appeared astonished at the - result. A fearful pause ensued, diving which 'the murderer stood raising his unwavering woe to its deadliest level, and Broderickdrew hinmetT'up to take the shot. It came after the du ration of a second, straight toward his heart, and the noble vieihn, reeling at the blow, sank gradu ally down to earth. The assassin folded his Brook ingwCapon on his (MR, and his representative went forward to ask if Mr. Broderick would require them to fire again. Being informed ho could not stand, they wrapped their cloaks around them, and stalked off, without an expression of sympathy, or asking if they ;Meld render ;spy service. We have characterized the killing of Mr. Bro deriok as a murder; first, because there was no cause for so solemn an arbitrament as that of the docile in the natural language used by Mr. Bro. &rick ; second, because the deed was brooded over for a long period beforehand ; and third, be cause an accident disarmed Mr. Broderick. and put It out of hie power el_thor to hurt his antagonist or to defend himself. No 000 but ap utter wretch and murderer at heart would have shot at his op ponent under such circumstances. And we will give. a California illustration. to sustain our point. In the winter of 1844, ?4r. frank tYashington, now, collector of customs at Ban Francisco, fought Mr. Washburn, near that city, with rifles, at forty paces. The seconds of Mr. 'Washington had the giving of the word. Mr. Philip Herbert, for merly in Congress, was the second who first essayed the tack, and the word was to bo given pre• oleely as in the Broderick and Terry duel. At the ,word Washburn, who know no more about a rifle than a girl, slipped hie shot in the ground, in the same manner as Mr. Broderick did; whereupon Herbert. seeing the mistake, milled out 'stop!' and Mr. Washington set his rifle down. Mr. Watson, the other second of Mr. Washington, next gave the word; the same mishap again oc carnal to Mr. Washburn, the word 'stop' was I called again, and again Mr. Washington set down his rifle. On the third fire, which was regular, Mr. Washburn was slightly wounded. Contrast this conduct with that of Tarry and his seconds, and also compare the conduct of that noble Englishman who, when asked why he did not fire, replied c Because, sir, I saw the ball roll out of the muzzle of your pistol,' and then let us see if we cannot readily oharaoterlse Terry by his proper name ? What less can lie be called than murderer? Our. tank in done. Already it has opeeded the limits we intended, and some of our readers may think it out of place In n paper of our specialty ; but friendship must have its privilege, and our voice, of all, must not be :silent at Mr. Ilroderiek's fate. We have much that we could add. We would again retrace his virtues, his starting and hieolose, and dwell with a just pride upon that span of wondrous effort which lifted au unknown and unaided man from the obscurity of ono in twenty millions to within reach of the Presidency of the United States. lint out:swm denies the privilege and, in the language of the gifted orator in San; Francisco, who presided at his obsequies in that city, we leave him to the equal grave: "As in life, no other voice an rang Its trumpet. blest upon the ear of freemen, so in death its echoes will reverberate amid our mountains and valleys until truth and valor cease to appeal to the human heart.

STEAMER NEBRASKA, Mississippi river, Near Gaines' Landing, Ark., Oct. 5, 11359. Mr Demi Fuzes : Leaving Cincinnati on Friday morning at nine, we took the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, to continue our journey westward. The depot is it common frame building, hardly more than a shed, and abounded in filthy smells. We were glad to escape from its close and disagreeable atmosphere, and inhale the fresh breeze from the banks of the Ohio, along which the road winds for some miles. The view of the Kentucky shore is pleasing, the banks in many places being beauti fully terraced from the water's edge. The hill sides rise so abruptly from the track on the Ohio side of the river that but little was to be seen; but, now and then, we could catch a glimpse of a ter raced vineyard, with the grapes hanging in rich clusters from the vines, which are act out in rows, and grown upon stakes about four feet high. Four teen miles below Cincinnati we passed North Bend, but from the railroad nothing was to bo seen of the mansion of President Harrison. From the river a fine view is to be had of the house and grounds. At Lawrenceburg, twenty-one miles from Cineln• anti, wo crossed the Miami into Indiana. Largo quantities of hogs are fattened in this region, and the hog establishments at Lawrenceburg presented anything but an inviting appearance; but at Au rora, some four miles further west, the railroad puns upon a treat)l work and bridge over a deep ravine, through which runs a small stream, and upon the bank of this ravine, directly under the track of the railroad, and in full sight (and still fuller smell) of the passengers, is a very largo es tablishment, where the hogs are kept and fattened on distillery slops. For my own part, I have more faith in goodJersoy-raised pork than in the article which is turned out from these wholesale establish ments at the West. Before noon the thick black clouds which bad been gathering all the morning began to favor us with a heavy shower, which was repeated at Inter vals through the day ; and while the rain rendered the travelling more comfortable, it added nothing to the interest or appearance of the country and villages through which we passed, At Harden burg, seventy-nine miles from Cincinnati, some enterprising Individual had hit ripOn an octagonal form for his louse, and there seemed, from the number of his imitators, to boa fair prospect of the town becoming pretty generally of an eight-sided pattern. At quarter past one we reached Seymour, a town which has apparently sprung up at a mush room rate; and while the houses looked new and fresh, there was en unfinished and slovenly aspect about things in ;general. The Louisville, Jeffor sonville, and Indianapolis Railroad crosses at this point; and as it is n feeding station for both roads, of course the hotels aro the most prominent feature of the place; and in order to insure atten tion from travellers to the foot of their existence, the entrance of the train Is welcomed by a general salute from an ably-manned battery of gongs and dinner bulls. The Ohio and Mississippi Railroad is a broad gauge road, and rune directly through from Cin cinnati to St. Louis, making the trip of three hun dred and forty miles in about eighteen hours. The cars are cotnfortithle, but the road itself is in need of a thorough overhauling. Ono or two bad accidents, attended with lose of life, have hap pened on it very recently. The bridges are, many of thorn, Unpainted, anktho timbers showed signs of a decay which, unless It is attended to, will be the cause of further accidents, for which, as usual, nobody will be to blame. There are no heavy rook cuttings until the road approaches White river, some twenty or thirty miles from Seymour, where there are two tunnels, ono of which is cut through the limestone rock for the length of twelve hundred or fourteen hundred feet. At Mitchell, forty- miles west of Seymour, we crossed the New Albany, Salem, and Green castle Railroad, which runs from New Albany, on the Ohio river, to Michigan city, at the southern extremity of Lake Michigan. The town presented very much the same general appearance as Sey mour, but the gongs were wanting, and the hotels not quite so prominent. At Shoals station we crossed the White river, and a low dam thrown across the stream to drive an undershot wheel for a sawmill furnished the only water-power which we have seen made available during our journey. Of the inhabitants who wore visible. all who were not at the railroad station, to see that every thing was done properly there, ware fishing from the dam. Towards evening-the timbered country showed signs of giving place to prairie Mod. It was quite dark as we, passed through Vincennes, making but a short atop, and seeing nothing what ever of the place. Crossing the Wabash, we en tered the broad prairies of Southern Illinois, and at nine o'clock stopped at Olney for supper—and a good supper it was, with tender and well-cooked venison steak, for which we found good appetites. Railroad meals are so often miserable and unin viting In every respect, that It is well enough to make a note of places where you are well eared for, so as to make your calculations and have plea sing anticipations upon future journeys. You don't find currant jelly for your venison at Olney; but one who is particular in this respect can make a very good substitute with syrup and a very little mustard. The weather had cleared when we left Olney, and the stars shone brightly down upon the broad expanse of prairie over which we wore hastening. We regretted that necessity compelled us to cross the prairie in the dark, preventing our getting a view of its vast extent, and the peculiarities of a prairie country. But there was no help for it; so we composed ourselves to sleep with what comfort we could, and at half pant twelve wore at Odin, whore the Chicago branch of the Illinois Central ailroad oro ssed our track, and we changed ears for Cairo. ¶1 hero wore no sleeping-care on the train, and no adaptation of the seats in any way to the purposes of repose ; and cramped end uncomfortable, we got what broken sleep we could. as we travelled southward through " Egypt." The only thing Egyptian we could see was the darkness Towards daybreak we were approaching Cairo. and could see the low, swampy lands stretching out on either side of the road, with a dense growth of various kinds of swamp timber. From a few miles above Cairo down to the city the railroad track is laid upon the top of the broad levee or bank thrown up to protect the whole of this lower point of Illinois from the overflow of the Ohio river. A similar levee extends up the bank of the Missis sippi on the western side of the point. The city of Cairo is built upon the space enclosed between the two levees at the extreme southern end of Illinois. at the junction al the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. The city itself is really indescribable. The situation is undoubtedly ono of vast capabilities for n city, to judge mutely from the location as appearing upon the map, But the low, swampy character of the soil, the surface of which is scarcely above the level of the two rivers at an or dimity stage of the water, and always liable to be entirely overflowed in any rise of tho rivers, pre sents obstacles to the founding, growth, and im provement of a largo city which greatly counter. act the immense advantages of mere locality. The levees which, at the point, are from twenty to thirty feet high, and extend back for miles, have already cost large sums of money, and must re. quire a heavy expenditure to keep them in repair. The soil affords no secure foundations for build. lugs, and there aro but few houses or stores of more than one, or, at most, two stories in height, except a few stores upon the Ohio river side, built directly upon the inner slope. of the levee, and the St. Charles' ]total, an imposing structure built of brick, and four stories high ; its foundation, how ever, 1 should not like to depend on. The rest of the city is made up of frame houses, and stores scattered along imaginary streets, which, so far as they have any substantial or real existence, cross eaoh other at right angles. Large signs, covering nearly all the vaoant space upon the front of the buildings, announce the occupation of those pro prietors who depend on the patronage of the public for their support. " Lodging and Liquor," we noticed, in unusually largo characters, displayed upon the front of ono building. Cairo may be a groat Om one of these days, but it will take enough filling in and grading to occupy several generations of city fathers in devising ways and means. At half past ass wo left the levee nt Cairo in the el le-wheel steamboat W. A. Evans fur Columbus city, Keutucky, about twenty miles below, on the Mississippi river. It was our first view of this inngniticent stream, but we had no fair opportunity for appreciating its magnitude and importance in tho short trip of two hours to Columbus. The W. A. Evans is a small boat, and runs in connection with the railroad lines to connect the Illinois Cen tral with the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, which runs soudicantwardly from Columbus. The Mississippi river, with its marked and distinguishingpeculiar- Hien of scenery, steamboat life, trade, nod travel, must command a letter frt. itself, and oven then it will be far from possible to do it justice in so limi ted a space. For the present I eon but give a sketch of some of the scenes nod incidents of travel as they pass rapidly before me. Columbus city is a small place, of a moan and unfinished appearance, and delis ing its chief perfume front the railroad which has its northern terminus at thin point, whence it runs aouthwardly through a swampy region, for many miles, with a heavy growth of cypress, gum, oak, and beech Twenty miles from Columbus the road crosses the State line into Tennes , oe, and nt Humboldt, same fat ty miles further, we left the Mobilo and Ohio road, and took the cars of flue Memphis and Ohio for Memphis. The Mobile and Ohio, for a new road, was remarkably easy and smooth. This is owing notes touch to the solidity with which it is built, but to the use of the continuous rail, which prevents the unpleasant jar usually felt when the wheels pass over the joints of the ordinary rail We reached Memphis at half past four, and made our way to the Oeyoso Howe. 0. T. T. TWO CENTS. Dr. Scudder's Lecture on India, on Tuesday Evening, at Musical Fund Dr. Scudder opened by saying that the greatness of the theme he was about to dismiss was embar rassing, and that, in the straight jacket of an evening lecture, he could hardly expect to do more than skim over its surface. Ile would first look at the physical character of India. In extent it was 1,800 miles long, and 1,500 miles wide at its broadest point. That part embraced within the limits of Ilindostan was said to be remarkably fertile. The superstitions of the natives wore also glanced at in this connection, the speaker, as he progressed, proving for himself re markable powers of observation and graphic de. soription. There was no such thing as a country population. in India. All the inhabitants were congregated in towns and villages. Every ens of these villages had its public tank and green rim of rice fields. There was, however, much In the physical charac ter of this country that was unpleasant, which neat claimed the speaker's attention. The exquisite and stately trees of India were dwelt upon with evident interest to his hearers. Some of these were said to possess the wonderful quality of affording to those who take shelter beneath them the materials for building -a house, furnishing it, and supporting a man's self and family ! Ills ascent, in imagination, to the top of the Hi malaya Mountains, where winds and clouds and perpetual snows are the only dwellers, was finely depicted. The wand part of his subject was the Races of India. Their origin,. be thought, traceable to Ilam i end later, to the Brahmins, and other inter mingling nations. In the eighth century the Ml ghans and Mogul Tartars poured into India, and constituted to this day a prominent element in the race. The athletic physical powers of the inhabitants, and their fiendish courage, were thrillingly illus trated by anecdotes and incidents. It was said to be a rare occurrence for an Indian woman to have but one husband. It was usual for one to be the wife of all the brothers of a family, and the speak er bad known one woman to have as many as seven husbands. Whore a man had no brothers, his wife was entitled to his cousins in order that she might not be restricted to a single husband. The following allusion to the British Queen was received with applause by the audience : "Queen Victoria—May she longllive !—may her gruol'ul hand long unfold over India the banner of tho Cross." In speaking of the language of the country, it was remarked that comparatively few vernacular words were contained In it. The Sanscrit, which now was only spoken by the learned, had origi nally constituted the national tongue, and had been the language of the Brahmins. Where these Brahmins came from was a most interesting question. They had evidently come from Central Asia, and were doubtless of the same (Japhotlo) race as ourselves. Some of them were almost as white as Europeans. lio had himself preached for many years in two of their vernacular tongues, of which he gave several specimens, with their translations. Their love of poetry was most extravagant; almost everything was written in verse. lie also gave, in order to exhibit the marked contrast between it and the preceding ones, e deep, sonorous specimen of the Brahmin's "daily confession." The diffe rence between this and the melodious liquid strains of the former wan really extraordinary to have been rendered so fluently by the same set of vocal organs. The 'philosophy of their religion was nest taken up, end disposed of in a style indicative of the speaker's intimate acquaintance with his subject. Noah, as a pure man, had walked with God, and at once enjoyed the advantages of revelation and communion. Ho had preached the truth to all nations, retaining in it always the contmlluminary of Redemption, without which, the speaker would odd, that all spiritual truth was presented out of its legitimate connection, and hence, useless as the broken fragments of a planet floating recklessly through space into CiIRO?. Gradually, God had been left out of men's religion, and heathenism in all its forms was the result. A case was related of a young If indoo, who was converted to Christianity, and who immediately resolved to fit himself for the ministry. Certain interested skeptical parties had determined to dissuade this young man from his purpose by placing in his hands some of the writings or Theodore Parker and Ralph Waldo Emerson, but without the desired effect. The speaker was terribly severe upon the opposing spirits of the ago, whose efforts were being directed to repel, rather than accelerate, the car of Christianity in heathen lands. The reading of several monosyllabic Sansorit verses, with each syllable beginning with the same consonant, created much laughter, as their noble sentiments, translated, elicited applause. The last point discussed was the castes of the nation, which, in Mr. Scudder's hands, was a fitting dessert to the rare banquet it was intended to conclude. Additional Particulars of the Harper's Ferry Plot. IFrom the special correspondence of the N. Y. Times.] Marra's FLRRY, Oct. 18, I'. M. The excitement is subsiding into astonishment at the insane undertaking of the insurgents.

To your correspondent he stated, after his capture, that it was no part of his purpose to seize the public arms. Ile had arms and apununition enough. furnished by tho Massa ehugi.lts Emigrant Aid Society. lie only intended to make the first demonstration at this point. when he expected to receive a rapid increase of allies from Abolitionists everywhere settled through Maryland and Virginia suffioient to take posseadon of both States, with all of the negroes they could capture. I asked if he did not expect to encounter the Federal troops , " Not if I had followed up my plans. I intended to remain here but a few hours, but a lenient feel ing towards the citizens led me into a parley with them as to compromise, and by prevarication on their part I was delayed until attacked. and then, in self-defence, was forced to entrench myself." . 4 What course did you design taking frt./ this point I asked. " I had only a geuoral idea on that point, but do not wish to be too closely questioned, lest I should say something which might compromise me here after. But to your inquiry I answer. I purposed a general southwest course through Virginia, vary tng as circumstances dictated or required." This was the scheme as developed by the notori ous outlaw himself, and is confirmed by the other prisoners. Ile was adverse to the unnecessary shed ding of blood, and during the whole fight peremp torily forbid his men shooting at any one unarmed and present from curiosity. The demonstration made with twenty-two men was only the signal for action. The groat body of his army remained to be enrolled, and recruits were expected to pour in from all directions.

From a rinantity of verses written In pencil I copy the following lines: " I look upon her as she stands, Free from all woman's kinks of art, And In my own I clasp her hands. And lay them on my beauns heart." Sketch of Capt. John Brown. the Lead er of the Harper's Ferrk Insurrection. (From the New York Herald.) Captain John Brown emigrated to Kansas from Central New York in the fall of 1855, and settled in the township of Osaawattomie. He was &oaten panted by seven sons, the youngest being old enough to earn his livelihood. The birthplace of Brown Is not positively known to the writer, but report has it that ho was born in fientuelcy. At the time of his death ho was about sixty years of age. Ile was about medium height, slim, muscu lar, and possessing an iron constitution. Ho bad blue eyes, sharp features, and long gray hair, wear ing a full beard. In December, 1855, during the "Shannon war," Drown first made his appearance among the free- State men at Lawrence. His entrance into the place at once attracted the attention of the peon!. towards him. He brought a wagon load of cavalry sabres, and was accompanied by twelve men, seven of whom were his own sons. lie first exhibited hts , nalities at the time the free• State and pro-slavery parties, under the lead of Governor Robinson on one side, and Gov. Shannon on the other, met to make a treaty of peace. After Goy. Robinson had stated to the people who were gathered around the hotel the terms of the ponce, Brown took the Mend s uninvited, and opposed the terms of the treaty. He was in favor of ignoring all treaties, and such leading men as Robinson, Lane. and Lowry, and proceeding at once against the border-rtztEea in vaders, drive them from the soli. or bang them if taken. General Lowry, who was chairman of the Committee of Safety, and also commander of the free... State troops, ordered Brown under arrest. The latter made no physical resistance, bat It was soon discovered that be was altogether . too corn. bnstible a person to retain as a prisoner, and a compromise was made with him by the free-State reen, and he was released. He was informed by the leaders of that party that his remarks were intended to undo what they were trying to SIICOM. pi ish by means of the treaty; that be was a stranger in Lawrence and Hawes. and ought not, by hie rash remarks, to compromise the people of Law. ranee until he had known them longer and knew them better. One of his eons, who was elected to the Legisla ture in February. 1854, was seized and taken from Otsawattomie to Lecouapton In chains. a distance of thirty miles. His feet and hands were chained together with a large heavy chain, the site of that used upon ox teams. Ile was compelled to walk the whole distance beneath a burning sun. The irons wore the flesh from his ankles; be was at tacked with the brain fever, was neglected, and died in two or three days. He. was the companion of Governor Robinson, Jenkins, (since shot by Lane.) and some eight or ten others. Another eon of Captain Brown was shot at Onsawattomie by a marauding party front Missouri. After the death of his first eon, occasioned by the tortures and fa tigue of his forced march, Brown swore vengeance upon the pro-slavery party, and it was frequently observed by the more prudent of the free-State men that he was evidently insane on the subject. He was always considered by them a dangerous man, was never taken into their councils, and never con sulted by them with reference either to their poli cy or movements. The destruction of the free-State Hotel and presses at Lawrence, in May, 18.14, incited him anew to action, and be organized a small company, composed chiefly of men who bad been robbed, or whose relatives had been murdered by the pro slavery party, and at the head of this band, armed with Sharp's rifles, bowie knives, and Colt's re velvets. he scoured Southern Kansas. and the name of 44 Old Brown" became a terror to all who opposed his will in that region. While he was thus ma rauding. five pro-slavery men were taken from their cabins at Pottawattomie creek. in the night time, and shot dead. The pro-slavery party charged this deed upon old Brown. while the free-State party asserted that they could prove him in Law rence. forty miles distant, when it happened, and that the horrid deed was perpetrated by "Buford's Georgia Ruffians," supposing that the victims were free-F tate men. The news of this massacre reached Westport, Missouri. the place of rondervous of the border ruffians," the tame evening that the Kansas Com mission sent oat by the United States Route of Representatives arrived at that place. The ex citement was intense, and was Induced almost as ranch by the appearance of the Commission aa by the news of the mawacre. The " ruffians " swore vengeance upon the members and oMeers of the Commission, declaring that their blood should re compense for the slaughter at Pottawattomiee reek, and but for the intercession of Mr. Oliver. the pro-slavery member of the Commission, and others, it was bettered that the Comminiou would hare been attacked. It was at this time that the no toriens 11. Clay Pate organised a band of men in the streets of Westport, Mo., with the avowed pur pose of entering the Territory and capturing '• Old Brown." He raised about thirty men, and went into the Territory • about twilight one evening, and was surprised at sunrise the next morning by " Old - Brown," who was in command of nine men. armed as stated above. Pato sent a flag of truce to Brown, who advanced some rods in front of his conpajy, and ordered the Ilag-bearer to remain with him, and sent pne of his own men to inform Pate to come himself. Pate obeyed, when Brown orde,red him to lay down his arms. Pate refused to the order to his men, whon Brown, drawing a - revolver, informed hint that he must give the order, or be shot on the spot. Pate immediately surrendered up himself and men, and they were disarmed and marched futon ravine near by. and kept until liberated and sent back to Missouri, by Colonel Sumner, a few days subse quently, who alsoordered "Old Brown" to disband and go home. The latter agreed to do so. if the Colonel would also agree to protect the settlers in that region of the Territory. This was the celebrated "Battle of Black-Jack Point," made famous by the "H. C. P.'' Kansas correspond ent of the St. Louis Rtpv,Vican, who was the heroic commander of the surrendering party. Captain Brown was not much heard from again until the notorious Captain Hamilton made his in cursions into Southern Rooms front Missouri in 1855, when he raised another company, and, with Captain Montgomery. drove .11amiIton and his companions back to Missouri, and marching bit men into that State, took possession of one of the villages, shot one or two men. and liberated 243VC eel slaves. This course of Brown was repudiated by Governor Robliron, and the leaders of the free- State party, in and out of which caused Brown to publish a letter explaining his position, in wbioh he Lammed the entire responsibility of bra acts, and relieved the free-State men from any There therein. This letter was called the Two Parallels." on account of the peculiar distinction made by the writer. Captnin Brown was every strong believer in the doctrines of the Presbyterian Church. Ho was fa natical on the subject of anti-slaverr, and seemed to bare the idea that he wee specially deputed by the Almighty to liberate slaves and kill slareholi. ern. It was always conceded to him that be was a conscientious lean. very modest in his demeanor, apparently inoffensive until the zuhleet of slavery use introdnced. when he would exhibit a feeling of indignation unparalleled. After matters subsided in Kansa., Brows intimated to come of hi: ants slavery friend.: that he contemplated or; an insurrection amongst the slaves in Kentucky and Tennessee. This fact becoming brown to some cf the leading anti-slavery men of the country. they refused him means with which to go on, and dis couraged his proposed undertaking. Ile anent a portion of the last summer in visiting different Northern cities. and was tendered soma of money. with the understanding that he wished to ware a little farm upon which to settle in his old age. It in supposed that ho employed the money thus ob tained to hire the farm near Harper's Ferry. which he used as a rendezvous for the insurrectionists. and near which ho so recently paid the last debt of nature.
