'FNMA WA al UFA $ United States District Court. Before Hon. Wilson .ll'Candless. THURSDAY, October 19, 1859. At the opening of Court at ten o'clock this morning, an application was made for a con tinuance until neat term, by the counsel of Si las J. Cover,of Somersetcounty, on the ground of absence of a material witness. On ascer taining that his attendance would be secured, the motion was withdrawn, a jury was sworn, and the case went to trial. 11. S. District Attorney Roberts appeared for the Government; and M. Swartzwelder, Esq,of this city, Isaac Hugus, Esq., and Gen. A. 3. Coffroth, of Somerset, for defendant. Mr. Roberts read the Act of Congress under which the indictment was drawn, and the in strument itself, charging Silas J. Cover, being employed as assistant postmaster at Davids ville, Somerset county, with stealing from the Post Office at that place, a letter, containing £5O in bank bills. Peter Levy, of Davidsville, testified that on the 28th day of July, 1858, he took a letter to the Post Office, in a store room in his house, rented to Cover, who was then in the office. Told him here was a letter, containing some money, which he wished to send to Jacob Mil tenberger, Waterford Mills, Elkhart Co., In diana. The letter contained $6O. He counted the money; witness put it in the letter, sealed it, and handed it to Cover, who laid it away. Witness described the notes : one 520 bill, Bank of the Old Dominion, Virginia, letter A., No. 947 dated Jan. 28th, 1857, cross number 841 ; one $lO bill, Bank of Middletown, No. 22,803, letter A, dated Feb. 3d, without year . SlO bill, Bank of Chambersburg, No. 10,1445, letter 8., March 30th, 1857; $lO bill, Hagers town Bank, No. 7175, lever 8., May 3d, 1852; $lO bill, same bank, No. 10516, letter A.. March Ist, 1851; all the bills were notched by wetness. All the notes, excepting that of the Bank of Chambersburg, not contained in the indictment, were shown to witness, who iden tified them. The marks were then read, cor responding exactly with the memorandum ta ken by witness before mailing, and the bills were given to the jury in evidence. Witness identified defendant as the person to whom he gave the letter. The letter was left at the of fice before the arrival of the mail. Witness never saw the money again until the last term of Court, when, before the Grand Jury; the $2O note was shown him. The only person he could recollect as being in the store was his son, who went with him. On cross-examination witness stated that Josiah Swank had been postmaster, and that he placed the office in charge of Mr. Cover, whuni he saw attend to it, after it was moved to his store. On other occasions he had seen different persons attend to the snails. Witness said he might have said to Mr. Cover. father of defendant, that he had directed the letter wrong—to a post office which was not in ex istence. D. W. Moore, Special agent for the Post Office Department, testified that in the summer of 18158 he received official notice of various losses on the mail route between Johnstown and Sommerset. On the Ilth of September, he passed over the route, and on the next day went over to Berlin on the Cumberland road, when he was informed there teas to be a change of postmasters at Davidsville. He returned to Eommerset on the same day, when he prepared decoy letters, which he followed, on Monday, the 13th. The letters were in the mail pouch; cne he put in on the road. At Davidsville, witness learned that a new postmaster bed been appointed, and then had possession of the of hoe. Learned of Mr. Levy's loss. went and saw him in relation to it. On the same day went to Johnstown, and from the best infor mation he could receive, learned that Cover had left on the Eastern train that dal. Reached Harrisburg on Tuesday - at noon; could not hear of Cover; went to Philadelphia: reaching there at five o'clock on 'Wednesday morning. and after breakfast, on visitivg the hotel-, found Mr. Cover's name registered at the Union Hotel; then went to merchant., with whom he presumed Cover would deal, to ascertain what kind of money he paid them found nothing corresponding with the money lost. on the next day pursued the same course. In the af ternoon went to the hardware house of Truitt es Bro., Market street, where he was informed Mr. Cover had paid money ; asked to see it $2O bill on the Bank of the old Dominion we shown him by Mr. Boggs, the book-keeper. which, on comparison with u copy of Mr Levy's memorandum, in possession of witness agreed exactly. Witness identified the note, which he stated he had procured from Truitt ez Bro., and given to Mr. Roberts. Went with Mr. Boggs to the City Bank; saw Mr. Ms- Mullen ; returned on Friday morning, when be received two $lO bills corresponding with the description, of which he took possession and afterwards handed them to Mr. Roberts. Iden tified two $lO bills. On the same day visited the dry goods house of W. t 3. Chittic & Co., Market street, where he got another $lO bill on the Middletown or Hagerstown Bank, which corresponded with the description. Witness identified the bill, which Mr. Chittick had marked on the back. This note was also brought and given to Mr. Roberts. After ob taining the $2O bill from Truitt & Bro., went before the United States Commissioner and made information against Cover ; a warrant was issued, and Cover was arrested early next morning, at the Union Hotel. Saw Cover in custody at the hotel ; went up to his room with the officers who arrested him, when he was searched, and no paper money found upon him except a $5 bill supposed to be counterfeit. Cover said ho had left his money at a house on Third street ; went there, Mr. Cover asked for his money; a package was handed to him, which he put in his pocket. All then walked down to the Commissioner's office, where it was counted, amounting to about $430. 'Wit ness took possession of it and gave it to Mr. Roberts. A hearing followed before the Com missioner, resulting in Cover being bound over. On cross-examination witness states that two men acted as postmaster at Davidsvillet one of whom was Cover; the other he did not know; when he returned found young Mr. Levy act ing.as postmaster. He took some of the decoy letters out at Davidsville; one went through. He .had no description of the notes when he left Day idsville. Mr. M'Mullen, teller of the City Bank, Philadelphia, states that Mr. Boggs and 31r. i Moore handed him a description of notes lost, and inquired if they were in hand. On exam ining a deposit of Truitt 4k Bro., found two ! notes, one $lO, on the Hagerstown Bank, and one $lO on the Middletown Bank, which he handed over to Mr. Moore or Mr. Boggs.— Could not say, where he got the notes. They frequently took uneurrent money on deposit, and passed it in a box, where it was kept, some times three or four days. A. H. Tippin, Marshal of the Eastern Dis trict, testified to havifig arrested Cover at the Union Hotel. On the warrant being read, ho said he knew nothing about the charge,but im mediately added that he remembered some thing about the missing. letter, which was not properly directed Witness told him he had better say nothing more until ho saw his coun sel. The evidence as to the search corrobora ted that of Mr. Moore, the mail agent, as well as that concerning the visit to the Third Street house, and the hearing before the Commis sioner.

Brady, Esq , for her discharge from the House of Refuge, on the ground that her morals were being corrupted in the institution. Mr. Brady offered evidence, that of her fath er and a school-mate, who proved that the girl was over twenty years of age. Ex-Mayor Stuekrnth testified to committing the girl in hr;, when she told him she was between BM • enteen and eighteen; and Mr. Wey man, one of the Managers of the Refuge, swore that when brought before the visiting committee, she had represented that she was but a few months over seventeen, and was corroborated by man agers and other-, who heard her make the statement. Judge Maynard remarked that a. it had been fully proven that she was over legal age, an investigation into the charge -- errade was unnecessary. The Managers had acted proper ly and to the beat of their knowledge, in ad mitting her. It erns proposed to show by the girl her. - ,11, that she was 1101 of age, hut the Court said could not be permitted to coutradtct her father Mr. Brady then addressed the Court, reflect ing severely on the practice of the managers in refusing to discharge minors from the in stitution, when their detention wee clearly il legal He tliiiowht the posse,- of magistrates to take end dren away from their parents. and without consulting. or ovi.in apprizmg them o f the charges against their wards. committing them to the institution, WU; much abused, and that the act giving them thiii power should be repealed The severing of tender tho should not be so arbitrarily permitted.

Fettiiirman defended the managers. and said it seas their duty to detain all children gent there until discharged by the course of law. They had examined into this case, found her is proper subject, and refused her disticarge, fearing she might fall into error if released. .ludge Maynard ordered the discharge of the girl, taking occasion to make a few remark!, acquitting the managers of any blame in the premise,.

Judge M'Clure yesterday remarked that too mueh of the time of the Court was taken up in the trial of these cases, of which the magistrates returned ten where they should only send up one—they came in from alder men by the bushel. The parties are frequently women, who carry their little quarrels to the greatest lengths, and, when on the witness stand, talk with amazingly volubility, defying the efforts of Court and counsel to stop them. If the parties who institute these trival suits were more frequently mulcted in the costs, it would E,on have the effect of shortening the terms of our criminal Coln t 5 " UN, LE Tort: .. AND Tol' , lLT:i --A ruin bar of negroes, of all age!. sizes and sexes, just from Lynchburg. in ' Old Virgin ny, - arrived at Wheeling per the cars, Sunday morning last, and attracted much attention.

The party, on Monday, lionized it in Bridgeport, whence they departed to seek for homes and fortunes in portions of Jefferson and Belmont counties THE CRICKET MATCH- -NV ASII INQTON AHEAD. —The wickets for the match between the Grange Wicket Club of Washington and the Olympic Club at this city, eleven on a side, were driven at ten o'clock yesterday morning, on the West Commons. Allegheny. The Grange boys were sent to the wicket, and with some very fine play succeeded in scoring 102. The Olympics then sent them to the field and took the bats, but although they did their best, only made 97 runs. The wickets were then drawn, leaving the Washington boys 5 runs ahead on the first innings. The second in nings will be played to-day, commencing at nine this morning, and unless our boys do better playing than they did yesterday, they will again culler a defeat et the hands of the Grange boys—and this time without odds against them. TLIE Water Committee of the Allegheny Councils have made a proposition to the Com• mittee from the citizens of Manchester, to supply them with water. Under this arrange ment, if completed, the citizens of the borough will lay down the pipes required and par t,lie water tax assessed in Allegheny city. They ore to have no fire plugs under the contract. The proposition will probably be accepted, as the Manchester folks are very anxious to have a supply of water. JASPER U.

Floyd. of which mention has been made Ciscisv.ri, August 2, 14.59.—5ir I have lately receir ed information of a movement of so great importance, that I felt it to be my duty to Impart it to you without delay. I have discovered the est:nano° of a secret as. 'iodation, having for its object the liberation of the slaves at the South by a general insurrection. The lead er of the movement is old John Brown, late of Kansits. He lots been in Canada during the wmter,drilling the tie. grecs there, and they are only waiting his word to start South to assist the cloves. They have for one of their leading men, a white man, in an armory in Maryland; where it is situated, I have not been able to learn. As soon as everything is ready, those of their number who ere in the Northern State* and Canada. are to some in :mall companies to then rendezvous, in the mountains in N'irginia will pass down through Pennsylva. ni• end Mai yland, and enter Virginia at Harper's Ferry. Brown left the Nos th about three or four weeks ago,and will arm the Degrees, and arnica the blow in a few weeks, so that whatever is done must be done at once. They have a large quantity of arms at their rendezvous, and probably aro distributing them already. As lam not fully in thed confidence, this Is all the information I can give you I dare -tint sign my name to this, but trust that you will not disregard the warning on that account. liaaera's Foamy, October 1a —El.ening...,The prisoners have been committed to the Charleston jail to await the action of the Grand Jurv,where they will be indicted and tried in a few days. The arrangement about the iuris- diction has been settled in this way —The local author tiles are to try the prisoners for murder; and In the meanwhile the United States authorities will proceed on the charge of treason. Gov. Wise said to Mr. Quid, the United States District Attorney, that he had no objection to the general Gov ernment proceeding against the prisoners—that Is, what will be left of thorn by the time the Virginia authorities are through with them. Brown Is better to-da:L and has made a fuller state.. mein of his operations. kle says that he ranted the farm of Dr. Kennedy six months since, and the rent is paid until next March. 2710 never had over twenty-two men ' at the farm at any one time that belonged to the organi zation, but that he bad good reason to expect reinforce ments from Maryland, Kentucky, and North and South Carolina, and the Car.adas. He had provided arms sod , Solent for 1,600 men, including 200 Sharpe's rifles, and a thousand spears, all of which were left at the farm. He also had an abundance of powder and fixed ammuition All the arm' were from time to time brought from Con necticut and other Eastern points to Chambereburg. and were directed to J. Smith k Sons, Kennedy Farm, his assumed name. They were pecked In double boxes, no as to deceive the parties who handled them on the ' term. He says that he made ono mistakes In either not detaining the train on Sunday night, or else permitting it to go on unmolested. This mistake he seemed to in fer exposed his doing[ too soon, and prevented his re inforcement, coming. The names of all his party at the Ferry, on Sunday night, except three white men, whom he admitted he sent away on an errand, are as follows, with their proper titles under the provisional government Gen. John Brown, Com naan derm-Chief, wounded but will recover; Captain Oliver Brown. dead; Captain Watson Brown, dead; Captain John Kagi, of Oho, raised m Virginia, dead ; Capt. Aaron C. Stephens, of Conn, badly wound ed—has three balls in his body, and cannot possibly riv• cover; Lieut. Edwin Coppick, of lowa, unhurt; Lieut. Albert Hazlett, of Pa., dead ; Lieut. Jeremiah Anderson, of Indiana, dead; Lieut. Wm. Leman, of Maine; dead; Caps. John E. Cook, of Conn, privateer ;Stewart Taylor, of Canada; Charles P. Tidd, of Maine, dead; Dolph. Thompson, of N.
