FROM THli PkOFLB.
dab Chases a Thousand. -
That is, down in Ole Virginia. The Southern
gales 1 itely brought to ourlears the clang of re
sounding arms. The “nursery” of strong com
plected pussons seems to be slightly' confused.
“Doleful rumor and sad presage” coaic up from
the terrified i\ P. V's. All owing to the fact
that a few strangers, sojourners, are discovered
in their niid-t, hot haying on “the wedding
garment.” A gray-headed old man, with a ba
ker's dozen of followers, objects to the prevailing
customs. Such conduct irks the “overseers”
of tbo “nursery” exceedingly. Fear cotneth
upon them. How to escape from the toils, the
hateful notions and practices of the new-comers
much cserciscth their minds. They go to and
fro seeking tor assistance in this their time of
calamity,
down this bold audacious irtuption
(fur so it seemed tolthc wondering eyes of “Ver
ginia never tire”) how the volunteers flock to
thn standard of the' affrighted “chivalry.'”—
Maryland testifies henmeighborly good will-by
putting her sons in tnartial jackets; the great
Chief at Washington, who presides over the
destinies of as all, sends forward his boys,
shooting- irons in hand; and foremost of all,
with terrible mien and large help, advances
Uov. Wise, the testy, with
‘'Dominion in his nod,
And, thunderbolts excepted, quite a god.”
All having assembled in hot haste, and being
marshalled in battle array, they tighten up
their valor to the desperate work, and look
about if perchance they may espy the enemy.
The while the opposition, six or seven of Ethi
opian extraction and two times as many pale
faces, bavo no thought of so vast preparation
and march of numbers being on foot against
them.
The Allies arc about to triumph. The wits
of the Old Dominion are presently coming back
which, on the first alarm, had
“Altogether gone a devious course.”
Anon the adverse forces met—in numbers, com
plexion, and military of “vio
lentest contrariety,” Ajfaint rattle of musketry,
come flourishing of swords, also confusion, and
—the smoke of battle clears away. The Wise
party have the field—and the Gov. safely makes
fust in the stocks the survivors of the officious
meddler. The valiant defenders of the “insti
tution” go home. A little spark has been put
out with oh ! what hogsheads of water.
That's a tolerable picture of what recently
has been enacted at Harper's Ferry—so scared
Virginia, and raised such volumes of smoke.
Comment unnecessary. Brown and his corpo
ral's guard put in uproar the whole South. To
be sure it wasn’t very clever in him, by run
ning off the men, whose faces, like the face of
Egypt in the olden time, are covered with dark
ness, to
**lnvade and bring to dust
The pillars of support in which they trust."
lint on the other hand it is a bad symptom for
a whole community so easily to loose its com
posure. It argues something .wrong in the
make of the craft they sail in. That it is high
time they throw overboard the dark plank of
slavery, well assured that
“A blot will be still a blot, in spite
Of all that grave apologists may write.*’
Letter from Kansas.
Official role j-“-ikt/i6is—Gross Frauds hy the
Democracy—Centennial Anniversary of Schil
ler, Ac., d'-e.
Atchison, Kansas, Nov. 11, 1859.
K-.-itor di Agitator; The official vote on
the ff;andolt Constitution foots'up at 13,951,
which shows a clear majority of 4,891. When
it is taken into consideration that no returns
were received from eleven counties, it is a safe
calculation to estimate the majority for the
Constitution at considerable over 5,000.
Last Tuesday the election came off for Dele
gate to Congress and County officers, and ae a
matter of course gross frauds were again per
petrated by the Democracy in Atchison. In
the second ward in this city no less than 100
illegal votes were cast by residents of Missouri
and people of this place whose names did not
appear on the Registry. The judges of that
ward all being pro-slavery, every man that
came to the polls was permitted to vote without
any regard to the Registry. They gave a Dem
ocratic majority of 160, which is considerable,
more than the number of voters in that ward,
notwithstanding full one half of them are Re
publicans. The notorious Dr. and Gen. String
fellow and Col. Abell, three of the meanest
men that ever disgraced the soil of Kansas,
were around as usual, to vote. Kot one of their
families reside in the Territory, yet all of them
come around at every important election and
claim a vote. I
Several fights occurred during tho day and
night but no one was dangerously hurt. A
foreigner (who keeps a low hell-hole) was figur
ing pretty conspicuously around the polls for
the Democrats and got stabbed several times
with a bpwie knife. Liquor .all day was as free
as water, and the Democracy on any such occa
sion can carry anything.
Lawrence gives a majority of 487 for Parrott,
Leavenworth City a majority of 400 for John
ston, IVyandutt City 27, and Doniphan City 00.
Doniphan County elects Republican Sheriff and
Senator, and probably the whole Republican
ticket. ' ,
The centennial anniversary of Schiller was
celebrated in this city last night by the Ger
mans, at Ilolthans & Bros. Hall. A grand ball
was given aud “lager” was in great demand.
Two rowdies attempted to force their way into
the hall and wjs fired into by the door keeper,
tho ball glancing and taking a young man in
the shoulder, and it is very doubtful whether
he a ill over recover. Several shots were fired
hy other parties in tho course of the evening
’hut nu one was hurt.
M_y old friend IVm, M. Butler arrived here
from Blossburg last Saturday, by the steamboat
"Black Hawk," and intends Ito remain some

The >1 vdm.vn Brown — lt was the very gen
eral belief of those who knew him in)Kansas,
that Brown, after the death of his son, became
insane upon this subject ; and his proceedings
in tliis affair certainly gave countenance to the
belief. A wilder and more hopeless project
than that in which he embarked cannot well
bg imagined. It seems to have been the work
of a single man-smarting under a sense of
personal wrong, and insanely seeking to avenge
them upon a whole community. H e will prob

Tbe honor and integrity, as well as the per
petuity of the great State of Virginia Have once
more bcendhreatened. The people of Charles
town and of Harper's Ferry have been thrown
once more into spasms of terror; once more
have the shiverlry shivered, and the clang of
arms and the braying of trumpets or something
else, have disturbed the usual quiet of that
mother of Presidents!
Another invasion? Not at all. There is no
other John Brown brave enough to go to his
doom in this way. No. The cause of this
new consternation in “Old Virginia” is a horse
of another color. Virginia shakes, but no new
John Brown docs the shaking.
On Thursday night last, a stack of wheat on
a farm about three miles from Charlestown,
Va., was burned either by accident or design.
This, gentle reader, as the novelists say, is the
whole story. No ; not the whole story for thd
funniest part of it is yet to be told. The au
thorities of the place telegraphed at once to
the President of these United States and the
Governor of the Great State of Virginia to send
troops and munitions of war to the locality of
the burning wheat stack. Gov. "Wise, the val
orouli and valiant champion of “the honor of
Virginia,” marched at once at the head of five
hundred armed men. Arrived at the scene of
proposed carnage, these valorous warriors were 1
in the sad predicament of having nothing to
kill. There was no enemy on hand. The
wheat-stack which had probably been set on
fire by some “no-account-nigger” had magni
fied the fears of the people into a dreadful raid
of abolitionists who were there to rescue John
Brown I After the most diligent search no
body was seen -Willing to givo battle to the as
sembled knights, and at last accounts the
shiverlry were stUl shivering. Who would not
live in a slave-ridden State ? fj
“Shadows to night
Have struck more terror to the heart of Richard
Than can (he substance often thousand soldiers
Armed in proof;"
and until the accursed shadow of slavery lifts
its pall from the morbid mind of Virginia*
shadows will continue to haunt and terrorize
ing stuck to the world.
A Report of the Proceedings of the
Teachers’ Institute held hero last week will ho
found in another column. The Report is Offi
cial and was not prepared expressly for this
paper. We regret that other duties prevented
us from attending regularly the several sessions
of the Institute. Wo were also unable to se
cure a reporter who would have presented a
correct account of the questions discussed, and
the many excellent points made by those who
took part in the discussions. The gentleman
who acted as our reporter at the Tioga Insti
tute, was engrossed with tho duties of presid*
iug officer of the one just closed. This will be
a sufficient apology to our readers fur not pre
senting a report of our own.
Besides the remarks of Mr. Reynolds the Su
perintendent (who we believe has not an equal
in the State for energy, and devotion to tho high
trust reposed in him,) lectures were delivered
by Prof. 11. C. Johns, and M. 11. Cobb, Esq.,
and an address by Miss Lizzie Lichtcnthalcr ol
iLawrenccville. ,0a each occasion the Court
House was crowded to its utmost, and the fre
quent and hearty applause accorded to the
speakers showed the popularity of this method
of imparting instruction.
Taking the Institute “all round” it was an
excellent one, and we cannot doubt that its in
fluence will be felt for good to tho schools of
the county during the approaching winter.
