Cistcia-aaxi, An5.20, IS59.
Si: I have lately received information of
a movement of so great importance that I feel
it to be my duty to impart it to you without
delav. I have discovered the existence of a
secret Association, having for its object the j
uuciauuii ui mc j - 1
eral insurrection. The leader of the move-:
men! is OLD JOHN BROWN" late of KAN-
8A8. He has been in CANADA during the '
winter, drilling ihe neprocs ihere, and they
are only waiting tin word to sian ior ine
tSoolh to assist the slaves. They have one of
the leading men, a white man, in an ARMORY
, at Maryland ; where it is situated I have not
been able to learn. As soon asererytning is
ready, those of their number who are in the
Northern States and Canada are to come in
small companies to iheir rendevous which is

gmes and strike the blow in a few weeks, and
so that whatever is done must be done at
once. They have a large quantity of ARMS
at their rendezvous, and are probably distrib
uting (hem already. As lam not fully in their
confidence, this is all the informa'ion I dare
not sien my name to this, but I trust that you
'11 not disregard the warning on Ihat account."
Ever; principal point berc revealed, has
proved true almost to the Inttcr. We be
licve there is no "armory at Maryland,"
but Harper's Ferry is just on tbo line,
and is expressly named. "Tbe white
man" is Cook, who bad lived there for
some years. "Old John l.rowu" it was
generally known, bad left K at u ias. aoJ gooe
to CuuaJaj be was poiuted out as tbe
leader of the alleged insurrection ; that be
b
was gattiering arms; woulU come in Iroiu
1'eunsylvauia, and rcudizvous in the moun
tains around the place from which tbe in
surrection would commence. All these
circumstances, so clearly stated, might
have put any man on watch, or suspicion ;
it must be inferred, that Floyd commu
nicated bis information to bis superior offi
cer, 1'residcut lSuchauan. Hut not a thiDg
was done to prevent the attack no in
crease of guard, aud not even a warning to
the few at the Armory no hint to the
authorities of the town no publication to
the world, that all, everywhere, might de
tect and nip the outrage in the bud. (It
bas been said that old lirown was known
to have been iu Washington city, breath
ing out threats against Calhoun.) Does
it not seem as if these highest officers
were faithless to their trust ? or rather de
sired to "have a little scare" fur effect T
There is nothing in the letter which
looks like malice no asking of a favor or
reward but everything looked candid,
j and challenged attention. When Thom
as Corwiu was Secretary of the Treasury
he received intelligence, which be heeded,
respecting a plot to rob the Sub-Treasury
at Charleston: the robbers were frustrated.
The Guy Fankes conspiracy to blow up
tbe l'rotcstant Parliament of England, by
powder in a vault underneath tbeir ball,
was discovered by an anonymtiut letter,
less conclusive than that to Floyd.
liut some prominent Democratic presses
with their cuckoo copyists, contend that
Senators Halo and Seward, Governors
Chase and Fletcher, Greeley, and other
prominent Republicans, are 'implicated' in
the affair, because their names are mid to
be fouud in souio of the muddy journals
or letters of Brown running thro' all the
Kansas war, or mentioned by that lying
KuglUh beggar called Forbes. Apply the
same sort of proof to leading Democrats.
Cook, who is really the worst man of!
the whole party and its local leader, is an
undoubted radical Democrat. His brother- j

Further among tbe scraps of Brown's
literature there has leaked out (perhaps
! accidentally) the following fact :
! "We have also a small memoranda book,
! which belongs to Realf.one of ihe parly. On
! the fly-leaf is written Ihe address of 'Rlias
Lanjiley & Iiro., between Fourth and Fifth
streels.Cincinnali' and also 'My dear friend,

of the successful aspirants were Democrats,
according to tbe original returns. At all
events, five appear to be one way, and five
tbe other. Any attempt of tbe Locofoco

"See my letter lo J. II. dated 23d Feb."
Ala: ! after tbe first step from the ways
of virtue, tbe path is all the way down
bill. From rewarding Kansas invaders
and murderers, what more natural than
that the l'resideut should turn out con
spirator himself J
Two of the Frederick (Maryland; papers
also state that at least balf of the silly crew
were Democrats, and loathes the paltry,
mean attempt to charge tbe deed upon tbe
million and a balf of honorable, humane,
intelligent men of the Free Slates who
voted for Fremont.
From theso undoubted FACTS and
tbe more doubtful inference that may be
drawn we submit to all candid readers,
(Democrats as well as Republicans,) whe
ther there is not much more guilt lying
against the Democracy in this matter,
than against tbe Republicans? Tbe FIRST
cause is clearly theirs tbe agents arc
mainly of that party and tbey have en
deavored to mako political capital out of
it! Which is most at fault, then, judgeye!

'Tis ?prinjr-tinn ami all things are Invely,
The b.eakues. of Winter is o'er
In the vale, and hih up in the mountain.
We hear iu .shrill piping no more.
The clear brook is free from its feftrrvt
1 he glad bint now warbles its snn.
And the trout in Ihe bright crysial fountain
Is sporIlng lhe pebbles amon.
Down there, where the rivulet murmurs,
The wild bird sins sweetly us lay;
There, flowers of ihe fairest are springing,
And lambkins are seen at their play.
The bee that is kissing each blossom,
Is fondly enjoying this hour ;
His hum may be heard as he revels
So wildly io every gay flower.
And such are the hours of onr chilJhood !
All sunshine, and blossom, and song i
No cloud fills the heart with its sadness.
As the time passes swiftly along.
SUMMER.
'Tis Summer, and sunshine and tempest
Alternately sweep o'er the land.
And hill-lop and valley are teeming
With gifts from God's bounlilul hand.
Look 'round o'er the land in its beauty.
Rich cereals wave in ihe breeze.
Like the flow ol the blue lesiless billow,
That rolls on the breast of the seas.
The lowing of flocks in the valley
Is heard in the soft, balmy gale.
And ihe song of the milkmaid is ringing
As lightly she trips through the vale.
The blossoms of Spring-time have vanished.
That 'round us their sweetness once shed
All are gone! but the fruit that replaced them
smiles o er us prolusely instead.
We, too, like the field and the forest,
Have cast off the blossoms of Spring
And the heart, like ihe far-soaring eagle.
Has mounted on hope's buoyant wing.
AUTUMN.
'Tis Autumn, and sad is ihe murmur
1'hat steals through the vale with a sigh,
When twilight is closing around us,
And clouds spread their pall on Ihe sky.
The lone bird that flits through ihe forest,
Is pensive, and sings not his lay;
And ihe sere leaf is dropping around us,
In token of nature's decay.
The landscape, once clad in its beauty,
His lost all the charms that it wore.
And the lamb that once skipped on its bosom
Is seen to rejoice there no more.
The brook, where the wild bird, beside it,

Had charms thai oft won us to woo iheiu.
But now all those charms are withdrawn.
The song of our Summer is ended.
Like those of Ihe brook aud the bird.
And naught but the chill of life's autumn
Above and around us is heard.
WINTER.
Tis Winter, and all things are cheerless,
Chill dreariness covers the plain.
And the song of the brook and the river
The ice-king has bound with his chain.
The forest, in strains of deep sadness,
When moved by the blast that is drear,
Laments for Ihe robes that adorned it
When Summer's bright visions were here.
The mead that was lovely with verdure
Now sleeps 'oeath a mantle of snow.
And the prospects extended before us
Speak only of sadness and woe.
The gladness of Spring-time and Summer
Now sleep in the grave of tbe past.
And we hear but Ihe wail of the tempest
The roar of the wild, chilling blast.
Such, too, is the fate that awaits ns
When storms we no longer can braver

IIeidelbero, Oct. 14, 13 30.
It was a beautiful day when I left the
Prussian capital for tbe literary city of
Leipzig, the second city in population and
importance in the Kingdom oi oaiony.
xue Indian summer was aooui ncgtnn.ng

the same degree or haziness as in America,)
and the suu shone down upon field and
woods with a grateful warmth, brightening
up tbo scenery, and making tbe atmosphere
of a railroad car very comtorlanie. 13 tue
early part of our route, the country was
level, but beautifully ornatneuted with
groves aud hedges of pines, and, along the
roads, on cither side, rows of flourishing
poplars or olhcr trees, which in the hat
of summer must iff rd a delightful slmi t
Io one or two places, there wcra culitc
fields planted with pine bushes, in regular
nws, a few feet apart, and evidently culti
vated with great care. Later, tbe groves
became more scarce, and tho land was di
vided into small patches containing tur
nips, beets, potatoes, and other vegetables.
As it was tbe season for raising potatoes,
the fields were full of peasants men, wo
men, and children busy with ox-teams,
aud cow-teams, and boes, and fingers, tak
ing up tbe crop, which, from tbe number
of bags standing in every direction, must
have been very large. In one place, there
were probably one hundred and fifty per
sons, all eDgigcd on one large patch.
Women appeared to predominate; and,
bard-banded and nut-brown as they were
from labor and exposure, it was wonderful
to sec how tbey worked, and what heavy
buidens tbey bore upon tbeir backs, or
balanced upon their heads. Some of them
had iufauts with them, sleeping iu little
basket-wagnns, in tbe care of children too
young to work. Tbe different lots were
not separated by fences, but had merely a
furrow drawn around them, and tbe land
marks of stoue decide their ownership. o the outskirts of tbe city, are sooij beau
Indeed, there seem to be very few fences tifuI promenades. Io one of the PUcs,

Ou our train, and at every station at
which we stopped, there were a great
many soldiers, giving one tome idea of
the immense staudin army supported
by the German States combiued.
As w; approached Wittenberg a city

where, having surrendered my passport to
the Commissaire, as at Berlin, I was ready
to see the city. It lies at the junction of
three small rivers, (creeks, you would call
them,) contains about 70,Gl)0 inhabitants,
and is of some historical interest, having1

Good luck would have it that I should
arrive there at ba time of one of its celc -
brated Fairs, when the city was filled with
.strangers from all parts of Europe, and all j
tbe streets and public squares were tame 1 :
iuto places for tba exposure and sale oi
every conceivable kind of goods. liavi;;g
never seen auvtbioir of the kind ou eveu
tue most vulgar fraction of such a scale,
it was most interesting to elbow my way
i
through the crowded stalls, and look at
tbe displays of jewelry, precious stones,
gl iss-ware, leather-ware, wooden-ware, cut
lery, cloths, and what not, and study the
costumes of tbe different peoples then and
there repicstnted. There were long
bearded Polish Jews, wearing coats of
black lasting reaching to tbeir heels, with
uufatbomable pockets therein looking
for all the world as if they had been
drawn through a barrel of soft lard and
scraped off with s case-knife so greasy
did they appear. Then there were Hun
irarian mountaineers, in jaunty velvet
jackets, wearing broad-brimmed felt bats,
with frustrated cone-ical crowns, and very
dandified in tbeir bearing. But it would
take up too much time and paper to de
scribe the different costumes, and I for
bear. Our little misses at home would
have been delighted to have seen "oceans"
of doll, lying on the ground, tbeir red
faces and almond eyes looking np most
beseechingly for purchasers.
