S. B. BOW, EPITOP. A5D PROPRIETOR.
CLEARFIELD, PA., NOV. 2, 1859.
2H7CH AIO AKOXG THE CHIVALRY.
In the year 1851, onr country was startled,
t a time of profound peace, with the news of
a brilliant naval achievement, before which
tho gallant exploits of Paul Jones, of Perry
and of Lawrence dwindled into insignifi
cance; we allude, of course, to the bombard
ment of Greytown, where the U. S. sloop of
war Cayenns, under tho command of the vali
ant Capt. Ilollins, achieved that glorious vic
tory, which was the crowning laurel of the
Pierce Administration a victory that has
been thus immortalized in verse :
"Twss Captain Ilollins led the fierce attack,
A man renowned in history and song
For martial tread, with straight unbending back,
And ears erect jsekassically long.
'Thick fell the shot, and darkened was tho sky.
Loud boom'd the guns and poured tbeir iron hail,
Od thirtean shantees and one poor pig-sty,
The great 'San Jean' of this valiant lala.
'Before the 'fight' began, the niggers fled,
And left in trembling haste the fated town.
And when brave Ilollins went to seek the dead,
Hefounda flock of geese and pigs "done brown."
This illustrious Commander, if we mistake
not, was a son of the "chivalric" South, and
we have been wondering recently whether he
didn't como from the region of Harper's Fer
ry, for certainly some of" the scenes enacted
there were not unworthy of his military prow-
es and Greytown celelrity. Had there been
no blood shed, the great "insurrection" would
hava been the most unparalleled farce of which
a civilized country has ever been the theatre
save, perhaps, the bombardment of Greytown.
That a dozen and a half of crazy fanatics, and
a lew miserablo negroes, should tako posses
ion of, and hold for forty-eight hours, a U.
S. arsenal and a town of neatly two thousand
inhabitants citizens of the flro-cating South,
too ! may well cause us to exclaim, 0, 4chi
ralry," where is tby blush !
Eni if eld Brown and the "nippers" had the
advantage for a while, the tables have been
trrccd, 2nd the half-killed old lunatic, with
tiro or three of his followers, is now locked
cp in a prison, surrounded by bristling cannon
And guarded by the flower of Southern chival
ry, lest, perhaps, (though moro dead than a
live.) he should make another break and cap
tare the city of Ctoarlestown, where he is now
undergoing the miserable mockery of a trial.
Every time he groans or turns upon Lis cot in
tho crowded court room, (for be is unable to
stand,) tht brave slave-holding heroes jtrcm
bla la their boots" like the quaking .."Etna at
the turning of the giant Enceladus. Kvery
breeze whispers a rescue, and a gallant com
pany of troops, with drums, and banners, and
bristling bayonets, starts from Frederick, to
sssiit in repulsing the Piunsylcania abolilion
iitt! Truly, what a stupendous farce!
It is hard to tell which are most frightened
the slave-holding heroes of the South, or
their Northern allies, the Locofoco editors.
Tho occurrence bids fair to f urui.ih a text for
every paper of that party to preach upon from
this till the close of the campaign of 1&69;
end when we saw the valiant Brigadier Goue
ral Larrimcr, of the nslnto Bigler organ, strut
ting about the btreets in regimentals, after
getting off his column and a half of last week,
we were led to the conclusion that he was a
bout to start for the scene of action at the
Lead of the "Kylertown Blues'' or tho "Og
den Guards," to assist the brave troops from
Frederick in protecting the Charlestown jail,
and repelling the 'Pennsylvania abolitionists!'
Brigadier General George Washington Bow
man, of the Constitution, and Brigadier Gene
ral James Harvey Larrimer, of the Clearfield
Bigltrilt, ought by all means to be on hands,
Jor though "the pen is mightier than the
sword," we have no doubt their military prow
ess, courage, valor and discretion, would be a
great acquisition to tbu "sons of tho South"
fn this crisis of their affairs !
Eutthe howling of these Locofoco editors
s by no means without a purpose. As usual,
hey design to make it pay. Hence the game
of wire-pulling for the next speakership of
the lower House of Congress has been some-
. what changed since this occurrence. Before,
. the Democrats knew they had no chance
now, it is said, a conspiracy is on foot to make
bargain by which that Erst ub is to be giv
en to any American from the Southern States
if the lucrative posts of Clerk, Door-keeper.
Printer, and the organization cf the commit
tee's can be secured to the Locofocos. The
hope is to seduce into such a scheme men e
lectcd in opposition to tho Democracy to
prevent an Opposition organization, which can
alone secure an examination into all the out
rageous frauds, extravagances and corruption
of the present Administration. This is on a
par with the sentiments of some of the Loco
foco leaders here, who, when the news come,
. regretted that the affair had not occurred be
fore the election, so that they could have made
political capital out cf it! We pity such
poor, miserable, abortive specimens of hu-
. inanity, and regret that they disgrace a re
spectable community.
TTe wish it to be distinctly understood that
we have no sympathy with those who would in
any way interfere with the rights of the South
ern States, and .especially none for such at
tempts as that at Harper's Ferry. Let Brown
and bis companions be hung if they deserve it,
m& If tht reliant Southerner fhnase to draT
font mi f
and quarter them afterwards, (as they proba-1
bly will,) we have no objections. They de-1
serve an rue pr.nisnmeni inai can ue metea i
out to them. But while this is true, wc must
nevertheless wait the development of all the
facts before we can throw the responsibility
where it may belong ; and, for our part, let it
Involve whom it may, we shall not attempt to
screen them. If those who are charged by the 1
Locofoco press be in fault, let them bo pun
ished as they deserve. But if those who, by
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise Act,
opened up the agitation of the Slavery ques
tion anew who aided and abetted the Le-
compton swindle, with the Boader Ruffian out
rages in Kansas the burning of Brown's prop
erty and the slaughter of his children be re
sponsible, we shall demand that those who are
so loud in their denuneiation of others, do not
hold them guiltless.
It is said that letters of an almost fabulous
nnmber were found among old John Brown's
"fixins" at Harper's Fetry. It is alleged that
among tho captured papers was "a receipt
from Horace Greeley for letters, &c, received
from Brown." Now, we think that Greeley
oughtn't to be guilty of writing such danger
ous, incendiary documents. H e ought to know
better, and people who send money to the
Tribune office, or do anything else that might
require an acknowledgment, shouldn't ask
him to indite such a treasonable epistle as a
"receipt." We fear, however, he will persist
in writing them so long as two hundred thous
and rata send for his paper. The dale cf
the aforesaid insurrectionary "receipt" is not
given that might have spoiled the desirtd ef
fect. And now, to make matters look still
more "bilious," this frightful "receipt" turns
out to be a letter, accompanied by to a
correspondent who had written letters for the
Tribune, from Kansas and Ohio; besides this,
Greeley says he "has not the faintest recollec
tion of ever writing to Old Brown on any sub
ject whatever." He ought to be ashamed of
himself for thus destroying tho capital the
organs of the Black Democracy were intent
upon making out of that "receipt." It is
too bad. But, seriously speaking, it is to such
petty, contemptible shifts as this "receipt"
matter, that the Democratic editors are re
sorting to injure the Opposition party. Des
perate, indeed, must be the condition of a po
litical organization if it has to be sustained by
prevarication, misrepresentation and falsehood.
The New TTorkers have another sensation af
fair on hand. They have been giving, during
the past ten days., eloquent descriptions of the
wedding of Don Esteban Santa Cruz de Ovie-
do, a Cuban youth of some seventy summers,
and a Miss Bartlett, aged nineteen or twenty.
The Don is very wealthy, and the glitter of his
"spodulix" overcame the tender feelings of
the fair Frances Amelia, and so she consented
to be his. The weddins was a public afl lir.
being solemnized in St. Patrick's Cathedral,
and everything was gotten up in the most
magnificent style. Tho bride's wedding dress
alone cost $15,000. Tho papers were filled
with descriptions for several days after. This
induced a gentleman named Stedman to write
a very clever poetical description, making ra
ther light of matters, and published it in the
Tribune. Hereupon Mr. Bartlett, the bride's
father, got his dander up, and challenged Mr.
Stedman. The latter showing a disposition
to fight, Mr. Bartlett backed down and sued
the poet for libel.
Most of the persons engaged in the Harper's
Ferry "insurrection," it seems were officers.
Capt. John E. Cook, it will be recollected,
made his escape. Steps were at once taken
to capture him. Having been traced into
Pennsylvania, bo was finally apprehended on
the 25th October by Messrs. Daniel Logan and
Claggett Fitzhugh, at Mont Alto, fourteen
miles from Chambersburg, in Franklin coun
ty. His printed commission, filled and signed
by Gen. Brown, and marked "No. 4," was
found upon his person ; also a memorandum,
written on parchment, of the pistol presented
to Washington by Lafayette, and bequeathed
to Lewis W. Washington in 1754. The pistol,
he says, is in a carpet bag, which he left on
the mountains. He was fully armed and made
a desperate resistance. He came out of the
mountains icto tho settlements to obtain pro
visions. He was much fatigued and almost
starved. He has since been taken to Virginia.
The Dayton Empire, of Oct. 13, says that the
Indiana State Agricultural Society has award
ed the prize for the best crop of corn to a
Dearbornc County farmer,who produced proof
that ten acres averaged one-hundred and seren-ty-fite
bushels per acre. On tho best five acres
the first premium was awarded on one hundred
and eighty-six bushels to the acre, and the
same person had incontestible evidence that
on one of these acres there grew two hundred
and fourteen bushel''.
Shortly belorc John Brown's invasion of
Virginia, the Secretary of War received no
tice of the scheme frcm some anonymous wri
ter, ne paid no attention to the revelation,
and the outbreak, with the seizure of Harper's
Ferry arsenal, was not prevented. Would not
the logic of the Democratic editors mako
him an accessory before the fact 1 Say !
The President has removed Mr. Farax, P.
11. at Cincinnati, because of his supposed
Douglas proclivities. Faran was always a
staunch f riend of Buchanan, while his succes
sor in office, who was a member of the nomi
nating Convention at Cincinnati, in 1S36 vo
ted, upon every occasion, for Pierce as a can
didate for the Presidency.
Of the 3,000 voters of Washington Ter
ritory, two thousand are desirous of entering
the matrimonial state, but there are no mar
riageable girls there. The Puget's Sound Her
ald plaintively calls for New England damsels
to satisfy the demand for "a good article."
Watson Brown, the younger son of "Ossa
WKtouiic,'' who was desperately wounded at
Iln ji . IVrry, ha? since died.
THEVISQIHIA INSiraSECIIOX
The trial of old John Brown, the leader of
the recent deplorable outbreak at Ilanier's
Ferry, was commenced on the 26th nit.' Not
having any counsel pres-ent, the Court assign
ed him Charles J. Faulkner, Mr. Green and
Lawson Botts. Brown was plucky, and said
if the trial was to be a mere raattter of form
an insult a mockery that trouble might be
spared; that he was ready for "bis fate. A
postponement ol the trial was asked on ac
count of the physical condition of the priso
ner, but this the Court, after consideration, re
fused. Owing to his wounds Brown was per
mitted to recline on a cot in the court room.
Mr. Hot Is read a despatch which he received
from Mr. A. II. Lewis, of Akron, Ohio, dated
Oct. 2oth, stating that insanity is hereditary
in the Brown family that a sister of John's
mother died of it, and that a daughter of that
sister has been two years in the Lunatic Asy
him ; that a son and daughter of his mother's
brother have also been confined in the Asy
lum, and another son of that brother is now
insane and under close restraint. Brown re-
fused, however, to have a plea of insanity put
before the Court in his behalf, regarding it as
a miserable pretext and artifice, and asked op- !
ly for time to procure counsel from a distance,
so that he might have a fair trial. The time
asked was not granted, and the court went on
with the proceedings. On the 2Gth, the jury
was selected and sworn, and the prisoner ar
raigned. The indictment, filling seven pages,
contains three counts 1st, insurrection ; 2d,
treason; 3d, murder.
John Copeland, the mulatto prisoner from
Oberlin, Ohio, has made a lull confession to
TJ. S. Marshalls Martin of Virginia and John
son of Ohio, in which he gives the names of
paities who furnished him money to go to
Haiper's Ferry, and implicates persons in O
hio, whose names have not been mentioned
before; he also alleges that a movement of a
similar character in Kentucky was contempla
ted. The confessiou is withheld from the pub
lic, by order cf Gov. Wise, until the trial is
over. Mr. Johnson was shown, on the 27th, a
large number of letters, implicating Gerrit
Smith and a number of prominent men of O
berlin, Cleveland, and other points of Ohio.
Among the letters is one signed Horace Gree
ley & Co., that had enclosed $11, as pay to a
correspondent fur writing seven letters from
Kansas and two from Ohio, for publication in
the Tribune. It was directed to J. H. Kagi,
one of the killed. The date of this letter is
not given. Marshal Johnson has a list ol the
officers of the provisional govarnment, and a
list of contributors to the project. The wit
nesses for the prosecution, on examination in
court, we believe, disclosed no new features
in the plot beyond what are already known
the capture of the armory, the killing of the
Mayor and others, &c.
The prosecution having rested, on the 28th
the defence called several witnesses, who tes
tified to the butchery of Thompson, .one of
Brown's men, who, while a prisoner, was
dtagged out by the throat, and shot in cold
blood. Mr. Georgo F. Iloyt of Boston, who is
quite a young man, arrived at Chaileslown, to
act as counsel for the defense, and Judge Til
den of Ohio, was expected. After three wit
nesses for tho defense had been heard, the
othe-s who had been subpoenaed not answer
ing, Brown mado a speech demanding time to
produce witnesses, and to allow his counsel
from the North to arrive, as he had no confi
dence in those assigned to him by the Court.
Mr. Iloyt seconded his demand, and said that
lie could not undertake to carry on the defense
at present, as he was not conversan with the
evidence, had not read the indictment, nor
was he acquainted with the Virginia Code.
Messrs. Botts and Green said they had done
their best for the prisoner, but as he had de
clared in open Court that he had no confidence
in them, they could not consistently do other
wise than withdraw from tho case. If the
Court would adjourn lor a day, Mr. Botts said
he would cheerfully give Mr. Iloyt his notes,
take him to Lis office, and sit up all night to
put him in po. session of the law and the facts.
The Court could not adjourn till counsel had
made himself familiar with Virginia law. The
popular excitement was greatly increased, and
the guard re-er.forccd "the people regarding
Brown's demand for time as a trick." Sever
al witnesses were then examined by Mr. Iloyt,
and cross-questioned by the prisoner while
lying in his bed, wrapt up in a blanket. The
testimony was mainly relative to Brown's
treatment of his prisoners, all proving that
Brown had treated them with humanity, and
frequently expressed his regret that bloodshed
should have been caused by him in self de
fence. The defence closed their testimony at
about four o'clock, and the State desired to
givo the caso to tho jury without argument.
Capt. Brown insisted that his counsel should
argue the ca3e. After the opening speech for
the State, the Court adjourned till Monday
morning, when the counsel for the prisoner
will proceed. Gov. Willard of Indiana,Cook's
brother-in-law, with J. E. McDonald, Attorney-General
of that State, and others, had ar
rived and had a long interview with Cook.
The result is not stated.
After the withdrawal of Messrs. Faulkner
and Botts, Samuel Chilton of Washington
City, and Henry Griswold of Cleveland, Ohio,
were qualified as counsel for Brown. On Mon
day these two gentlemen argued the case be
fore the jury for the defence, and Mr. Hunter
for the prosecution.
Ecropean News. By the arrival of the
steamer Nova Scotian, on the 30th, some im
portant intelligence camo to hand. A treaty
of peace between France and Austria is offici
ally announced. Eleven Powers will meet in
the contemplated European Congress. The
King of the Belgians has decided the question
of the Lombard debt, it having been left to
his arbitration. There yet appear to be ru
mors of fresh difficulties growing out of ques
tions left open. The Great Eastern was still
at Holyhead, with no definite time set for her
starting across the Atlantic. .332,000 gold
dust had been received from Australia. The
difficulty between Spain and Morocco has been
settled. It is stated that the ground on which
the cxequator o the American consul at Leg
horn, Mr. Joseph Binds, was withdrawn, was
that he busied himself greatly for the restora
tion of the dethroned Princes, of whom he
was a warm partizan. Central India was still
in an unsettled state. The authorities of Pe
kin, China, it is said, are ready to receive the
British Minister. Breadstuff's were dull.
Speaking of th Harper's Ferry affair, the
Louisville Kentucky Journal remarks : "Old
John Brown, it is admitted we believe on all
sides, was never trusted by the Republicans
even in Kansas. 'He was always considered
by them as a dangerous man, s lys the N. Y.
Herald, one of the bitterest anti-Repnblican
journals in the country, was never taken into
their counsels, and never consulted by them
with reference either to their policy or move
ments.' This testimony would seem to be
conclusive. It efiectually clears the skirts
of the Republicans from everything like direct
fellowship or even sympathy with the murder
ous old zealot.

It says : The direct charge that the

Brown, in his insurrection at Harper's Ferrv,
is equally devoid of truth. Wo have the best
authority for stating that "the Company
has never invested a dollar in cannon or ri
fles, in powder or lead, or in any other imple
ments of war,' for use in Kansas or anywhere
else."

v EXILE OF T2E POPE.
We take the lellowing important paragraph
lw ,t,,v ' i '
from the editorial correspondence of the Lou-
nv A. r.int, r.L? .---"Pius IX. has abandon-
. .. . ,
edthe projector ititcrienng oy iorce oi a. .us ;
in the affairs of the Legations, but in revenge
he has manifested aficsli and more energeti
cally than ever, tho intention of abandoning
Rome, and accepting the asylum ollered to
him in the Balearic Isles of Spain. This
voluntary exile of the Chief of Christendom
will be a feat of which it is easy to appreciate
the gravity, and France is exerting her utmost
influence to prevent it. Our ambassador to
the Holy See, M. D. Grammont, has just arri
ved in Paris, for the second timo in less than
a month, to make the Emperor thoroughly ac
quainted with the real state of things, and to
receive instructions how to act in this immi
nent crisis. It is mainly owing to his efforts
that blood has not flowed in the Romagna, and
that the Pope is still in the Vatican ; but we
are informed that he is the bearer, on behalf
of the Holy Father, of a sort of intimation
from which there is no hope that Pius IX,
will recede. If the astuteness of Napoleon
IH. should be insufficient to get rid of this
last and most decisive complication, we are
on the eve of the most solemn crisis in the
history cf Europe."
There was much excitement at Fioderick,
Md., one day last week, occasioned by the re
port that a large body of Abolitionists h-ul
crossed from Pennsylvania into Virginia, with
the intension of rescuing the prisoners. A
