Wo commend the facts given by Dr. Cox to du:Attentive perusal •nd serious cotaderation of our' readers, and especially to any of-them who may be in the habit of •drinking intoxicating liquors. The aspect of liquor drinking: as presented by thti official investigations of Dr. Cox, is not to be . view - 0d merely in the light of ati a:street ques tion of Temperance, but as an issue of health or disease—life or death. Those who persist 'in drinking . the liquors_ sold in this or any other market, may make up their 'minds to be poisobed, wimps slowly in some cases, but surely in all.

HIRADI 00X ON TII ADNLTINi., Aim :or. LlllllOll CINOINN4.TI, (0.) Oct. 8, 1859. JANES BLA,k, Esq.— Dear Sir: Yours of the 29th of September, dated Lancaster, Pa., is noiwbefore toe. Although not personally. acquainted, I take great. pleasbre in contrib uting`"-my, mite, in .any and every possible mode, where the object is the bettering of the condition of the human family. • I have had similitr letters with' Similar requests from every point of the compass—front the extreme North, South, East and West—to all of which I have cheerfully responded ; believing, al though the labor has beercconsiderable, that it would toll in after years in thb longevity and health of thousands who would otherwise Mt a preen Lure grave, and would. contribute to the happiness and comfort of thousands of mothers and children, who are and have been, unfortunately, connected - with the unfortunate slaves of intemperance. I rejoice, to know that my exposures of the villainous liquors .with which the markets, East and West, are glutteid, have had a Salutary moral influence in almost every region of our happy Union. I have letters in my Possession from ministers of the Gospel from New Orleans,Nastiville, Florida, New York, Boston, Itichnioa; Alex andria, Norfolk, Wiishington City, Baltimore, Philadelphia, front. Toronto and from Ibunil ton, Canada, and from all of our Eastern States—congratulating and encouraging me Co continue my exposures—that they wore coon ing.inen to think and stand aghast, more titan anything that they could do or say on the subject of temperance. The same effect has beenproduced in this community. One ,gen demon' taPped me on the shoulder some little time past, and remarked at the same time,— . Doctor, I rejoice to .see you take the stand that you do oh the subject of poisonousliqu•. ors. I can lay my hands on more than thirty of our best ontixens, gentlemen who Were tip• piing and tippling from a dozen to twenty times a day, and who were bidding fair to fill a drunkard's grave l who have stopped short, and do ,not, and pledge. themselves' that they neVer.Willi drink any more, tbr . ftar they may get hold of sonic of the misarablo udultera lions that. Dr. Cox is holding up to publio view." Thank God! Chemists frain;Virtiolik dollekeithave - writ ten to me, stating that they hod analyzed various samples of the various alcoholki liquors in our markets, and find the same pernicious devel opments which I had, at various times; indi cated in articles which I had written from time to time, one of which you will find at page 128 of Gm !!...Crhsrulor,' which accom• ponies this ldidij - ' l „Appther evidence that the exposures which I knee been milking have had a salutary moral effect; is, that there has not - been one-fourth as conch liquor sold yearly since as was previously; and another, is, that amuinber of large liquor establishifients have cloaked, their proprietors ruining' any of their fellow-citizens who had become tit& sureties, -A number of distilleries kayo closed iu this vicinity, , . They have,. is it is familiarly call ed, -•tburnt their boilers."

K. Kagi. Its object was then stated 'i - vtiieh'ivae to complete a thorough organization and the formation of CohetitutiOn. The first business was to elect a President and Secretary. Elder Monroe, a • colored minister, - was elected President, and secretary. The next,busiviess was to form a Constitution; Capt. Brown hind al ready drawn upone, by the Secretary. On motion, it was ordered - that each article of the Constitution be taken up and separately amended and' paned, which was ilonn. On motion, the Constitution was then adopted as u whole. .-The next business was tp noininate oCom rotary, of Warond Secretary effitate:- Capt. John Damn. was -unanimously' elected-Com mander In-Chief; J. H. Keg!, Secretary of War, and Richard Mali,. Secretary of State. Elder Monroe was to act as Presideut until another was chosen., A.ll. Chapman, I think; ::„ was to ant as Vice President. Dr. K. De laney watimite of the Corresponding Secretaries of the organization. There were some others from the United Stakes, whose-names I do not .1101‘ remember. Most of the delegates to the Convention wero from •Canada. After the. COnatittuion was adopted, the members took their oath to support it. It was then-signed bysll vireseet: ; During the Interesi betaieen • the call toi tho Cotivention'atid its assembling, - regular meetings wore held at Barbour's Ho tel, where we were stopping, by those who were known to be true to the cause, at which Meetings plans were laid and discussed. There Were do •white men at the Convention, save the membersoghour company. Men and mo-' ney'lled both been promised from Chatham and other parts of Canada. When the Con- ...... vention broke up, news was received that Col. 11, Forbes; who had joiliedin the - movement, had given information to the Government:— I This, of eouree;-ifelayed the time of attack. A day or two afterward most of our party took the boat for Cleveland, Capt. Brown remain ing. He; howevor, , started in a day or two for the East. Kagi, I think, 'went to some other town in Canada, to set up the type and get the Constitution printed, which. he com pleted before he weturned to Cleveland. Wet remained in , Cleveland for some •weeks, at whieh-place, for tint time being, 'the company • disbanded. Capt. Brown had had the plait of the insurrection in contemplation for mayoral years; in fact, ho told me that it had been the chief aim of his, life to carry out and accom plish the abolition of slavery. „ ' In his trip - East, he did not realize the amount of money that he expected. The mo ney-hail Leen promised boturfide,i but owing to tile tightness of the money market they,,,failed to comply with his demands. The funds were necessary for the accomplishment of his plans I afterwards leached that there was a lack of confidence in the success .of his scheme. It was, therefore, necessary - that a movement ghoul(' be maile in 'another direction, to de monstrate the praeticability of his plan. This he made about a year ago by the invasion of Missouri, and the taking of about a dozen slaves, together ,with- horses, cattle. &0., into Kansas; in defiance of the United States Mar— shal and his posse. From Kitnsa's he took them to - .Caniula, via lowa City and. Cleveland. At the hitter,place lie remained some days, and, I think, disposed of his horses 'there. It seems that the United States' Mlrshal was afraid to arrest him, and this Was all that was Wanting to 'give confidence to - the wavering in the practicability of hie plan and ultimate suo• cess. lie canto to' Harper's Ferry about the last of June, though I did not see-him till IMe'iit'July.

The' ex ception to which' I-allude thiat..T met a party of four nogroes, two free and two' •,•': slave, near Bolivar mutely, Virginia. I asked • , them If they had over thought of their free dom. They replied, ..they thinight they ought • •••• to he free," but expressed doubts that they - 'aver 'would be.

Brown's older • • • aid. This is incorrect. Kagi was second .in - • command, Stephens third, and !UAW fourth. J. SDIITII Further than this, I do not know that Capt. Brown had made known any preference as to superiority of rank. Edward Coppie and Dol phin Thomas were the only lieutenants be commissioned. Owen Brown, Barclay, Cop pie, and F. J. Merriam, were not at. the Ferry when the attack was .nude, but remained by order of Capt. Brown to take charge, of the premises, and to guard the arms left atß.'s Douse in ease of an attack. Ido not know Alf any person in the Ferry or its neighborhood who knew of our plan, save our own, party, and they were pledged to keep it secret. Richard Realf, one of our original party 'and our Secretary of State, came from Chat ham to Cleveland, a few days before,Capt. arrived front the - East. Soon, after his arri val, he (Capt. B.) sent • Itealf to Now York city, at which place ho embarked for England for the purpose 'of carrying out the pities of Capt. Brown. Realf was born and raised, in England. lie is a peasant's son, but his na- Live talents brought 'him into the notice. of • some of the nobility, who took chargti attire; and made arrangements to give him a finished. education. lie was taken into the family •, of Lady Noel Byron,' where he made his home while pursuing his studies. Falling iu love' with younglady•of. noble birth, who was a relative of Lady Byron's, he was censured by ; Lady B. for his presumption. He became of, 'fended at her for her interference, ritid finally left Lady B. to work his own way 'in the world.— About this time' . the Chartist move ment was niade,,which Rata, joined,-and, the. result , resnit was, he was obliged' to seek :safety by t . emigrating to the United States.

Mr. Kagi, I believe, got a letter from 'some - one in Eng land, a Tarr months ago, stating that ha had quite.a.eum of money with him, but farther titan that, we have been unable'to find any 'trace of him.
