It is well known that Acrrnan, as well ttl Keilagt.t, piped the re commendation f..r Helper's book, and that he seeks 4, to avoid responsibility by the craven excuse that he did not kaow the character of the work he war helping to circulate, Gme• ley denies the charge made by Kellogg, that he bargained with Senator Douglas to aid the latter in being elected Senator from Illinois, and concludes his letter with the tollowing pa rap.Tft ph "Mr. Kellogg. there it just one remaining tie of sympathy between Senator Douglas end myself, now thnt the old relations of poli tical antagonism between us nre completely re-establisLed : I dete.t leis doctrines, but I like his et.t - ra.

Joho Brown entered upon his work deliberately. lie VIM not acting ; under the sudden impulse of revenge to re-; taliate wrongs whi . ch he and hie fasaily snf-1 feted. To adopt the language of the Philadel phia atrishan Obsorer, " he had been medi tating this :nighty scheme of revolution and ; robbery for many years. Such is his own coliXesstion, and the testimony of his wife con firms it. She says that for treaty years he ; had been thinking of this bloody purpose, or? devising means to effect it. To discipline himself and his sons for the work of death, he rushed into the !,,toils of his party in Kan- NV, and there, as reported by his frietatt, ! acted the part of a midnight assassin. One' morning there were five men found dead near thtir tereral cabins, in one neii,hborhood, which he with a band of half a dof,,en outlaws, had just scoured at the hour of midnight.— This is reported in a paper conducted by men of his own party. This is but one of his many feats of the kind. It was in midnight exploits of this horrid character, that John Brown schooled himself for the work of an incendiary and a leader of the late conspire, cy. He was at home amid scenes of blond attd murder. It was in such scenes he was so disciplined, as to exhibit the brutal Win. ism displayed in the Armory, when he felt the pulse of his son with one hand! while holding his rifle with the other, giving orders with great coolness, to the bandits wader his rierriwid." finch is the history of s convict whom tho Star pronounces •tizreic," "brati i r "COA4KIOIII of 40449 o/ Virginia fear.",-A DIARTYft 1"..-such the mardero e s ayrapathi expressed for ;most reckless mar sin—ea outlaw, stitch stepsn/cod, had b4th taken the fires of his neighbors, and prepar ed weapons to pat into the hands of thousands, to aimed elartelP, ltn4 trorthy. and Moe. thrive' the lend, The Oar's merle Amid oast with the atter detested= Of marl ehristia,n • patriot. stirm. man wpm ai too Namortity of LeLjlh twenty has tie Dm* of Jofig C. r•okim Vivaioier for tho Democratic Poo is 18Q0- i ZoogroirlflliorThotoarrrdoloo to " 7 5k40 1 .**140, 41 0 so • ti. rani timAatsvidobet ofPielittArgh fel • fepoker'o,oarifir fcitisitai• ts*-- • lakimmo: art ao• est* . .

Four of the Harper's Ferry insurrectionists were hung at Charlestown on Friday last— Green and Copeland, (both colored,) at half past 10 o'clock, and Cuok and Coppie at 1 o'- clock. They freely rubiiitted their guilt, and acknowledged their doom a just one. The remains of Cook were sent by 1-lx?resa to New York, and those of Coppie to lowa. A strong force of military was present at the execution, and no disturbance occurred. Congress The Senate, en Wednesday, unanimously adopted Mr. .Mason's resolution of inquiry Into the uarper's Ferry insurrection. The Rev. Mr. Gurley was, on Thursday, elected Chaplain to the Senate. In the Llouse, a number of ballots were bad during the week fur Speaker, but without a choice. On Thursday, Mr. Shermin had 110 votes, Mr. Rocca S 3, Mr. Gilmer IS, and Mr. Boteler 5.

In the House of Representatives, at Wash ington, on the first day of the session, Mr. Joax B. ewe's, of Missouri, offered the fol lowing preamble and resolution, which gave rise to a spirited discussion and lasted the whole week: . Willett/A. Certain members of this Mere now in nomination for Speaker did endorse and recommend the book hereinafter nasuod therefore, Rewired, That the doctrines and 'sentiments of a certain book called the Impending Crisis of the South, arni flow to Meet It, purporting to bare been written by Hinton ft. Helper, are incendiary and hostile to the domestic peace and tranquility of the country; and that no member of this Howse who recom mended or endorsed it or the Cumpend is fit to be the Speaker of this House, During the debate on Wednesday and Thursday following, on the resolution, an exciting keno occurred between Mr. Rem, of Send' Carolina, Mr. LI II • It, of3liesiesippi, and Mr, Suess!, of Pennsylvania : Mr, Nam', pf South Carolina, conceded that there were members from. and parsons within, the North, who are loyal to the Con stitution; but this was not the point before the Douse. He then proceeded to feed ex tracts from 'speeches delivered in Ohio, (by Mr. Seward.) in 1848, and in Rochester, in ISSS, which had insietsined that 'slavery must be abolished. Such was the fruit of seed sown by that distingushed leader; anti it had Leen only within the lust leo hours that some of the Republicans here hitd found out that the doctrines were injurious. Ile would see the fabric of the Government tremble from turret to foundation stone before he would take one tittle less of the rights to which the South was entitled. rApplanee.l We, of the South, are on the defensive ; we mean to defend ourselves. Let each pasty fight out the issue. Mr. STEVENS believed the ilipetnision already had ought to eon\ ince evert body that hie point of order was elirreet and proper—name ly, that until the Ilouoe was organized it WSW not eompetent to entertain any question ex eevt the election of Speaker or a motion to adjourn, Ile did not blame the gentlemen from the South for taking the course they althounh he deemed it untimely to withhold from the public creditors the merino which should be given them speedily. Ile did not blame them for the language of intimidation, "—rending God's creation From turret to inundation." [Laughter.] It was right in them, for we recreants of the North were not affected by it. 110 gave them credit for it, for their re marks were to operate on timid men.

This is the fight, and we are determined to meet it. lie would not disturb the nerves of those timid men to whom Mr. Stevens alluded yesterday. What the latter had said was spoken in irony. So far from the North being apprehensive of danger, he believed the North desired to drive the South to disunion. But the North would need no letter wen to lead them to the conflict than the leader (f* the Buckshot War.— [Laughter.] 117 J achierements in !hatted! de* able hint to leap out at the window. [Renew ed laughter.] Mr. Lamar desired to say that. ha was no disunionist per se—he was de voted to the Constitution and the Union.— Put out the light of the Constitution, and where was the Promethean spark which could the light reillucoe? We will not permit any persistent violation of its term*, and will fight for this as long as the blood flows in our veins. The Republicans were not innocent of the Wood of John Brown.

"Resolved," That should the Republicans Rise the colored people of Ohio the elective lestichise, it would thereby secure to itself* permanent and unchanging majority in this date, which would always insure to it the ascendancy." The Republican party cannot avoid its re. spoasibility for the views here expressed, for they are the voice of a convention as much entitled to speak for the party as any other is the United States.

The Committee has bads corromporodenee, or personal interviews, with gentlesuau resi ' dent in Baltimore. I.loaffe x w a , y eess e er, Philadelphia, Beading, Easton, ate. Now with reference to all these places, it may be said, as might indeed be inferred without this, that the annual expense caries with the price of gas in these cities mad towns, the number and size of burners made use of by individuals, and the . prudenee of the eon. rimer. Yet the following are some ortbe facts, which may be useful or interesting to our citizens, at the present time: The Com tnittce received in the first place interesting information from two gentlemen, one former iv. the other at present, a resident of Balti more. The latter informed them that his gas Lill osually nmouvited to $2 a quarter, or $8 a year ; the former gave thOm the assurance, based upon thezeeeipts still in his possession, that for a period of fourteen years, his annual expenses for light had not exceeded nine dol lan, though he had at least two burners in con sta n t use, the whole evening. The gas bill of another family occupying about the same relative position in society, though living iu another city, but using the same number of burners was $1.5 ; of a fourth in another city $lO ; of a fifth in a fifth !thief...with 3 burners in constant and liberal use $2O; and a sixth in another city about $24, with the same number nt burners. We would be safe there fore isi saving, from these facts es a Wits, that fur the generality of families in Gettys burg, the range of cost per annum, for two ar three burners, would be approximately be tween 5 and 20 dollars, or from 2 to G oebts per night, and for one or taro burners the half of this, 1 to 3 cents, according to the quenti-_ ty used. This would be_at the rate of froin . # a candle to 1} a night ; and what, laid& is there which consumes less than this at pres ent? To the above expense, however, must be nddcd the interest on the fixtures. Theseare introduced, in some of the other towns, at an expense of from 18 to 25 cents per foot. At this rate, with the cost of ehandeliers of a respectable size fur the parlor or chief sitting room added, the usual expense for introduc ing the necessary fixtures into a two story house in all its parts amounts to about 760, RaoWay Mot asin,—lL is announeed in Porter's Spirit of the Times that Col.
