The Peruvian Syrup.—What is n?—
Moat persona ham an Idea that'the PertjTlan fiyrup U a
preparation of Peruvian Barks. This Is not the case. It
Is a notable preparation of Protoxide of Iron, which Is read
fly received Into the constitution, and will act as a tunic in
that that metal doaa uot osnally act, when given in
tho form of carbonate, or even In the Iron by hydrogen
preparation, at. popular with physicians. Whoever dostrre
to give iron in a lorm that will be acceptable to the human
stomach, and that will be readily taken ioto tbe blood, will
glv* thia Peruvian Syrup, which Is attested by men of high
character throughout the country. Dr. Hayos, the State
Aaaayer of Uesaaehnsotta, testifies to its extraordinary vir
tues, and we have ovary confidence lu the ability of the
•gent here to convince anyone of the came- The Peruvian
Syrup Is made In Boston, sDd has performod most w. ndcr

Case. —Judge flbaler called the
attention of the Court to the case of Common
wealth vs. Thomas 0. Katberford He said an
order hat! been made in regard (o him. Last
evening certain bills of indictment were found
against him: An order had been issued on Mon
day night for his arrest. He has been in the
Coart all the time walling to loaru whether his
ball would be increased. We do not know why tho
bail should be inorcasod under the fact that bills
have been found. This mailer has been made a
subject of publio uotoriety; it has furnished foid
for the newspapers and garbage for their read,
ere; the man hae not been able to turn a corner
for the last month or more without having some
disagreeable thing thrust in his face.
Judge Shaler thought that the bail should uot
be made exoessive It would look as If some
foregone oonelasion bad been arrived at The
effort appears to have been dear and plain in
some quarters to prejudge this mao. Of course,
said the Jadge, I do not refer lo any action of
this Court. He said his colleague iu the case
bad somewhat to say, ami was more conversant
with the facts than he (Judge R ) was
John IT. Hampton, Esq , eald that Mr. Ruth
erford had been hero all day yesterday waiting
to know about his bail; and yet, at a Into hour
on Monday afternoon, without any notice to Mr.
Rutherford's couneel, bis oaue had been called
up, the bail increased, and Mr R dragged from
his bed like a felon and sect to jail to herd
among thioves and vagrants, fie (Ur. II ) did
not blame Mr. Collier, the District Attorney, in
the matter. He had ooavereeJ with him this
morning and had learned from him that be bad
been informed on Monday night, eoon after the
bills had been found by the Grand Jury, that it
was Rmherford’e Intention to “slide.” Mr. Col
lier wonld not tell him who bad given him this
Information, but he wished it understood dis
tinctly here and now that wboever mado the
statement that Mr. E. intooded to run away,
li/d; and if the individual was wilbiu sound of
bis voice he would have him understand die-'
tlnotly that he (Mr. H) pronounood lu false
hood. Whether that individual be a high official
cooueoted with the city government or uot, in
fact whoever bo be, I repeat, be stated what is
false. There are parties pursuing Mr. Ruther
ford lu this oase with the ferooity of blood
bounds, and I warn tbgp in advance to beware;
the Uvea of some of them are uot above reproach, I
are not so stainless as they seem to Imagine the 1
public belteye; they are not so stainless as ibat
they can afford to hnnt on the track of Mr. Ruth
erford.
I'ITTSQUKGti.
Ur. Collier said that be fell called upon to say
a word in his owq behalf In all bo had done iu
ibis mallet, he had acted strictly according (o
his ideas of duly in Ihe position be hr)J. He
had not loleoded to act uncourleously lo his
brethren of ihe bar. He had aoled precisely as
be would Jo again under similar circumstances,
and as was customary in ihe practise at the bar
Tho court had flietl the hail at $4OOO, aud lhat
was by no means oppressive It was SCOi» on
each of the cases exoept one, and tbnT was
$lOOO for assault and battery with intent lo com
mit a rape The bail was moderate, it was too
low in fact. In a case of this kind the bail
should be such as to remove all doubt about the
defendant being present at the time of trial.
Judge M’Glure said the learned oouusel ap
peared lo be under some misapprehension. The
course of the District Attorney was the one usu
ally ptmmed So such oases. He said when ho saw
the bail be considered it his doty to move for
higher bail. There was already bail iu uue case
and he moved for bail iu Ihe other five cases
The court said it had placed the bail in s»’•*»<* on
each of the five bills and slU<h>ou the eixtb !
This is reasonable bail and by no moaus oppres
sive. There is no prejudice here., we have no !
prejudices The oourt did not increase the hail, j
it dimiuisbed it. RulherfnrJwiis uuder hail for 1
on oue charge ; he is now uo'dcr bail, on i
six charged of $ 10<m» !
Judge Hhaler said ihe cjunsel considered it j
their duty aod supposed (hey bad the right lo 1
plead for lower bail without eicincg any warm •
feelings t
Ho dO &Urkal .t.
The court rej-ealrd that Iho t.atl was t-y tu>
means excessive, and bad hero lowered and uot
increased

lUltivors, Oct 13—3 o'clock,* ’a. k. —Harper *
berry has been taken possession of by companies
from Charlestown and Shepardstown.Va., and Fred
erick, MJ. The rioters are entrenched in the armo
ry, and bold Mr. Washington and Mr. Lafenfold as
prisoners. The insurrectionists, commanded by
Captain Brown, of Kansas notoriety, numbered
originally seventeen whito men and five negroes
several of whom were shot Two men of the Mar
i tinsburg company, were shot dead whilst charging
■ the armory. A portion of the insurgents have
j left here under a leader named Cook, who with a
I targe party of slaves, is supposed to be moving to
wards Pennsylvania; AIM Brans, one of tho insur I
gents, is lying In a dying condition here, having boeo i
shot through the breast. Ho sjiys that the whole !
sebemo was got up by Browu, who represented that
the negroos would rise by thousands, and Maryland
and Virginia would be mado free States. * |
Col. Sbriver, of Frederick, has just had on inter- I
view with Browu in the armory. lie asked to be !
allowed to march with bis mou, and averred his in- i
tention of defending himself to the last. His men 1
are very strongly posted in the engine bouse, and
cannon cannot be usod against them for fear of in
juring tho prisoners they »till hold. Some sixteen
persons are known to hare been killed. Fountain
Beckman, a railroad agent, was shot dead from the
armory. Three riotor? are lying dead ander the
bridge, having been shot by the Sbaphardstown
tmopa in their charge on the bridge. .
Captain Cook is second in command of the insur
gents. Ue is said to bo posted in the school house
four miles distant, with a large body of runaway
slaves.
The Armory was taken possession of about nine
o’clock on Sunday night. So quietly was it done
that the citizens know nothing of it till the train was
stopped.- Col. Lee, who has arrived here, thioks
there aro abundant troops on band to capture the
riotors, and seems perfectly certain that Ibe original
party consisted of not more than twenty white men
aod five free negroes. Capt. Brown had been about
here and rentod a farm four miles off, which had been
the rendezvous of the rioters. Capt. Cook has also
lived about here, and at one time taught a school.
All the other white men are unknown. They are
supposed, howevor, to be men who have been con
nected with Frown in Kansas. It U reported, bat
not confirmed, that the rioters have carried off a con
siderable amount of the Government funds. No at
tempt was made to pillage the town or Insult females.
Capt tin Brown claims easy term* on account of his
moderation. \
JUniren’s fAirt, i>jt. 13, ! o'clock a. u.—The '
conflict on the bridge was fought mainly by the rail
road tonnage men from Martinsbarg, led by Captain
Alberta. Evan' Dorsey, a railroad conductor, was
killed, and conductors Bowman and ITollett were
wonnaed. No damage was done to the rellroad or
bridgo by the rioters. It is enpposed that the rioters
will be tried under martial law, as soon as captured,
on the spot.
»V*4» o'clock, A. M. —The following Is (he special
report received from the editor of Baltimore Ameri
can “Preparations aro now making for the attack

chief draughtsman at the Armory; Benjamin Mills,
Master of Armory; John P. Dangerfield, paymaster;
Clark Lewis Washington, a fanner and prominent
| citizen, and John Alatndt, a farmer, and his son, Ifi
| years old. The three last wore seized on their farms,
several miles fjom the Ferry. Geo. Turner, a grad
i uate of West Point, and one of the most distin
• guisbed cltlrens, was shot yesterday whilst ha was
coming into town. He died during tho nigbL 'Ha

named Lewis I,eary, who has just died, confessed t»
the particulars of the plot, which, be says, was con
cocted by llrowu at a fair held in Ohio two months
ago. Tho rioters havo just sent oat n tlsg of truce,
saying that if they are not protected by tho soldiers

Baltiuorc, Oct 13.—An oya wltows who has re
turned from Harper's Ferry describes the scenes
there as follow : "The first attack was mado by a
detachment of tbe Charlestown Guards, who crossed
the Potomac river above Harper’s Ferry, and reached
the building where the Insurgents were posted by tbe
canal oQ the Maryland side. A smart firing occurred
and die rioters were driven from tho bridge. Ono
man was killed here and another emoted. The lat
ter ratf out and tried to escape by swimming the
river, and a dozen shots were fired after him and he
partially fell, but ruse again and threw his gun away,
drew bis pistols, both of which snapped; drew his
bowio-knife and eat all bis heavy accoutrements off
and pjuogod into the river.' One of the soldiers was
about ton feet behind. The'iuan turned round, threw
up his hands anJ cried, 'Don’t shoot.’ The soldier
fired and tho man fell into the water with his face
blown away; his coal skirt was cut from his person
and iu his pockets were found a captain’s commis
sion to Capt. F. H. Leotnan, from (he Provisional
Govornment of the Bolted States. The commission
was dated Oct. 1369, and was signed by “A. W.
Brown, commander-in-chief of the army of the Pro
visional Government of the foiled States.
A party of flvo of the Insurgents, armed witb Min
nie rifle*, aod posted in the rifle armory,were erpill -
•d by the Charlestown Guards, They all ran Tor
the river, anil one, who was unable u> swim, was
drowned. The other four swam oat to the rocks In
the middle of the Shenandoah, and tired upon he
citizens and troops assembled upon both banks. T lis
draw upon them the muskets nf between 200 and 00
men, and cot less than 400 shots were fired at th am
from Harper's Ferry, about 200 yards distant. < >q«

Jump over the dam, but fell, shot, and was not t ion
afterwards. The third was badly wounded, and the
remainder wore takon unbanned. The white insur
gent wounded and oaptnred, died in a faw momenta,
in tbo arms of our imfurmant, lie was shot through
the breast, arm and stomach, lie declared that there
were only nineteen whites engaged in this insurrec-
For nearly an bouo a running and random firing
was kept up by the troops against the rioters. Some
were shot down, while others managed to limp away
wounded. Daring the firing, ffio women and chil
dren ran shrieking id every direction, but when they
learned that the soldiers wore their prutectors, they
took courage and did good service in preparing re
freshments and attending (he wounded. Oar infor
mant, who was on the hill when the firing was going
on, says all the terribio scenes of a battle passed in
reality beneath bis eyes. Soldiers coaM bo seen
pursuing singly and in couples, and the eruok af the
musket or rifle was generally followed by one or more
of the insurgents biting the dost. The dead lay In
the esreats where they fell. The wounded were cared
for. Captain Brown's wonndi consist of a sword cat
.in the forehead and a bayonet wound In the kidneys.
Another of the rioters killed was named Stewart
Taylor. J. C. Anderson, a ringleader, who stopped
Conductor Phelps yesterday, was killed during the
first attack by the Virginians. Anderson was a fine
looking man, with a flowing white beard. Some of
tfao Maryland volunteers are in pursuit of Captain
Cook's party. A body of forty men, mounted, left
■ this afternoon for Harper's Ferry, to pursue the riot
era. Ills many of them have escaped
and are secreted in the Mountains. A negro uamod
Green, who was conspicuous in thafagitive slave riot
at Harrisburg some years ago, was among the In
surgents.
Baltiuore, Oct IS.
The following interesting narrative of the recent
events at Harper's Ferry, Is gleaned from the report
of the editor of the American, whs accompanied the
troops from this city, and returned this evening
The principal originator of the short, bat bloody ex
istence of this Insurrection, was undoubtedly Capt
John Brown, whose connection with the seenea of
violence In the border warfare of Kansu, then made
hU name familiarly notorious to the whole country.
Brown mode his first appearance In the vicinity of
Harper's Forty, more than a yeu ago. aeumpaakd
b, M, tiro nil, wntfag ft* nan of Bnlft. H.
| enquired'ahont land In this yfaipity, and mkita in-
I rutigatioito about tie’ probability of finding ores,
and for coma time boarded at 6aady Paint* * mils
out of the Ferry. After an absence of some months
he reappeared in the vicinity, and the elder Brown
rented or leased & farm on the Maryland side, about
four miles from tbe ferry. They brought a large
number of picks and spades, and this confined thq ;
belief that thoy intended tominefororea. They wore
seen frequently In and about Harper’s Ferry, bat no
| suspicions seems io have existed that BUI Smith was
| Capt. Brown, or that he intended embarking in any
movement so desperate or extraordinary.
; Tet tho development of the plot bears no doabt
j that his visits to the Ferry, and hu lease of the farm
| were all parts of his preparation for tho insurrection,

Brown's chief aid was John E. Cook,a comparatively
l y° an g man, who has resided in and near the Ferry
I j 0 B «me years. He was first employed iu tending a
| }°ck, and after a brief residence in Kansas, where it
j js supposed he became aequainted with Brown, ro

was seised by a number of men, who said that ho
was their prisoner and must come with them Ho
reoogoixed Brown and Cook among the men, and
knowing.them, he treated the matter as a joke, but
enforcing silence they conducted him to the armory,
which be found already in their possession, no was
retained till after daylight and then discharged. The
watchman who was to relieve Williamson at mid
night found the bridge lights all ont and was imme
diately seized. Supposing it ah attompt at robbery,
be broke away, and his parsners stumbling over, he
escaped. Tbe next appearance of the insnrrection-
Uts was at the house of CoL Lewis Washington, a
large farmer and slave owner living about four miles
from the ferry. A party headed by Cook proceeded
there, roused CoL W. and told him he was their pris
oner. They also seized all the slaves near the boose
and took the carriage and horse and a large wagon
with two horses. When CoL W.sawCook be recog
nized him at a man who had called upon him some
months previous, to whom he bad exhibited somo
valuable arms io his possession. When he made his
visit on Banday night he alluded to his previous visit
and tbe courtesy with which he had been treated anJ
regretted tho necessity which made It his duty to ar
rest CoL W.
From CoL Washington's, the party proceeded w ith
him, as a prisoner, iu his own carriage, and twelve
of bis negroes In a wagon, to the house of Mr. All
stsdt, and-he and his son, a lad of Id years of age,
were taken prisoners, and all the negroes within
reach being forced to join tbe movement, they re
turned to tbe armory at the ferry.
All these movements seem to have been made
without exciting the slightest alarm in tbe town, nor
did tbe detention of Capt. Phelps’ train At (be upper
end of the town attract attention. It was not until
tbe town was thoroughly waked up and found tbe
bridge guarded by armed men and a guard stationed
at all the avenues that tbe peoplo found they were
prisoners. A panic appears immediately to have en
sued, aod the number of the insurrectionists at once
increased from fifty, which was probably their great
est furee, including the slaves who were forced to
join, from 500 to f.OO. In the meantime n number
of workmen, knowing nothing of what had occurred,
entered the army and were successively taken pris
oners, until they had at one lime nut les* than sixty
men confined in the armory. Amoog th<xe thus en
trapped were Armisted Ball, chief draughtsman of
the armory, BoDjamio Mills, master of tho armory,
and J. L. I’. Dangerfield, paymaster’s clerk. Those
three gentlemen were imprisoned in (he engine house,
which afterward* became tbe chief fortress of the in
surgents, and wore not released until after Ihe final
a*«ault. Tho workmen were imprisoned in a Urge
building further down the yard, and were rescued
by a brilliant Zuuare dash made by tbe Railroad j
Company’* men, who came down from Martinsbttrg. j
This was the condition of affairs at daylight, about :
which time Capt. Cook, with two white men and ac
companied by 30 slaves, and taking with them Col.
Washington's large wagon, went over tho bridge and
struck op the mountain on the road towards Penn
sylvania.
Tho following fragment of a letter was found in
Capt. Brown's pocket. It occupies a page of fine
noto paper, straw-tinted and is written in pencil,
evidently by a person of education: it is without
date. The freight alluded to was doubtless of that
sort usually carried on tho underground railroad :
Capt. Brown : Dear Sir—l have been disappointed
at not seeing you bore ere this to take charge of your
freight. They have been hero now for two weeks
and a* f hare bad to superintend tbe providing for
them, imposed on mo no small task, beside*,
and if nqt sooa taken on, somo of them will go back
to Missouri. I wish to know definitely what you
propose doing. They cannot be kept here much
Isuger without risk to themselves, and If any of
them cosclodo t<» go back to the State it wilt be a bad
termination to your enterprise.” (No Signature.)
