Trial or llrown the Leader or the Harper's Ferry Conspirators. The trial of Brown commenced at Charles town, the county seat of Jefferson county Vir . . , ' , , . ' nnia. on last lhursdav. Ibo indictment charges him first, with insurrection; secondly witn treason: tniruty. wuu murucr. vu ue ing brought into court, he took occasion to express the belief he entertained, that he would not receive a fair trial lie stated that he had not employed any Counsel and teemed unwilling at first, that th6 Court should assign mm any. it was however nnai ly arranged, that Messrs. Green and liotts, should act as his Counsel. lie said that be was not insane at the commencement of, or during the insurrection, and therefore desir ed that such a plea should not be urged in his behalf. The Jury having been sworn, he pleaded not guilty. Mr. Harding the District Attorney then stated the fact to nf tho case to the Jury, and read the law of Treason in the State of Virginia, which provides, that levying war against the State giving comfort to its enemies, or establishing any other gov- ernment within ild limits, are punishable! with death. The murder of a citizen is pun- iehable with death. The advising of a slave certainly, justly claim to be that which is ex to produce insurrection is also a capital of- tremely rare at the present time a candid fence. After the Counsel for the wisoner iad made some able remarks coucernins the law affecting the case, the District Attorney proceeded to call the witnesses on behalf of Commonwealth. The testimony thus far does not differ in the slightest degree, from the account of the insurrection published in the Newspapers at the time. On Thursday afternoon. Mr. Green one of the Counsel for the prisoner, informed the court that he had jaat received a telegraphic despatch from publicans, contributed not a little towards en m i i ni.:,. - -. : n i r . i.

Tho court refused to ad- iu uauai uuur. iuu tccnujouj ui uuuuais- tadt, a farmer and slaveholder near Harper's Ferry, although brief, gives a correct insight in to tho designs of Jirown in commencing the insurrectionj and we therefore publish it. John Alstadt, sworn On Monday morning about 3 o'clock, I was aroused from sleep by a noise at the door, I asked who was at the door; the reply was. "get up quick, or we will burn you up," I asked what they intend ed to do; thoy said, "To free the country of slavery;" they told they were goiug to take mc to Harper's Ferry; I dressud myself, and wheu I got to the door I found they had all my blacks, seven in number; we were all put in to a wagon; the negroes were then armed with pikes; all the men who arrested us were arm ed; we went to the aiuiory yard; where I was put' in charge of one of Brown's party; we wero afterwards ordered into the watch-house and saw Col Washington there; Brown came and spoke to us about our getting two negroes to take our place, and he then would release us: nothing - further was said about that; Brown's rifle was cocked all the time; the negroes were placed in the watch house with 6pear8 iu their hands; the slaves showed no disposition to use them; witness was after wards transfered to the engine house; several negroes were there; saw "Phil" making port holes by Brown's orders; the other negroes doing nothing, and had dropped their spears sc&e, of them were asleep" nearly all the time (Taughter;) when the marines made the as sault, Brown's party took a position behind the engine house, and aimed at the door; Brown was in front, equating, be aimed at the marines, and my opinion is that he killed the marine. Geo. W. Iloyt, Eq., a young Lawyer of Boston, araived in Charlestown on Friday morning, for the purpose of acting as coun sel for Brown. He did not immediately take part in tho case. The constitution of the "provisional government" was laid before the Jury. Also a number of letters found in the possession of Brown. Letters from Gerrct Smith, Joshua 11. Giddings and other promi nent abolition leaders were read. The teste mony for the Prosecution closed on Friday af ternoon . Several witni ses who had been priso ners of Brown during the insurrection, were called by the defence for the purpose of pro viug that whilw iu ctody, they were treated with humanity. Several witnesses having been called for the defence who did not answer, Browu arose and stated to the Court, "that he thought a fair trial was not given him," and that he believed bis counsel were n-ot true to him, that counsel on whom he coold rely, would arrive the next day, and reques ted the Court to adjourn until morning. I After eome farther discussicn 51 r. Hunter, J one of the counsel for the Commonwealth said : I do not arise for th nnrnnse of rrntrr- j- j- - - - - ting tbe argument or interposing the slight est impediment in anv wav to a fair trial. This whether promised to Brown or not, is guaranteed by our laws, to every prisoner, and so far as am concerned, I hare studi ously avoided suggesting anything to the Couit that would in the slightest degree in terfere with it. I beg leave to say, in refer ence to this application, that 1 supposed tbe Court, even under these circumstances, will have to be satisfied in some wav. through the o counsel or otherwise, that this testimony is material tetinionv. So far as anv witness has been examined the evidence relates to the conduct of Capt. Brown, in treating his pris oners with lenit7. resnect. and courtesv. and t j tbis additional matter, that his Hags of truce, if you choose to regard them so. were not re spected by the citizens, but some of his men I WCT were snot.

I have no doubt, is everv narticle of it here that could be got. is really material to the uelence, l submit that tbe application tor delay on that ground ou-iht not to be granted. Some of these witnesses have been here and miffht have been asked to remain A host of witnesses on our side have hen here and gone away without being called on ....:r t i .i r i I cc in justice to the Commonwealth which has in justice to me ommonweaun wuicn has cri ..:.- na tu .!,:.. I formation be given to the Court showing what o - o additional testimony is relevant to the issno i ne simple statement ot the counsel I do not tning wouiu De sumcieut. Messrs. Green & Botts, then stated that in consequence of the remarks of the prisoner, they withdrew from the case, and would take no further part in its management. The Court then adjourned. The repeatad efforts of Brown to postpone the case created . fears in the minds of many citizens of Charlestown, that a rescue would be attempted. On Sat urday morning Samuel Charlton of Wash ington City, and Henry Griswold of Cleave- i . . . ,aod appeared, and were qualified as counsel 100 tne prisoners. After calling and exam- ,D1D several witnesses, the testimony for the defence closed, and the Court adjourned until Monday. 1 bo argument of the case corn- natneed on Monday mornitg Rfniililiran Trtiiinnnv The Editor of the Tyrone Star, can now Renubliean.

There can be no doubt, that when Urown commenced oncratiens at TTnfnor'a Trr I -i - - - - J' S. . H S-l I J j he anticipated that it would terminate in a j-r i - .... umereut manner irom that in which it did. He acknowledged to Governor Wise, that he expected large reinforcements from differ States, and that he had a sufficient number of Rifles Spears &c, in his possession, for arming 2000 men. He expected that the Slaves in Virginia and Maryland would at once rebel against their masters, that the in surrection would soon extend to all the South ern States, and that the St. Domingo Trage dy with all its horrors, would be rean acted. HiQjpily for the country, the Slaves were not willing to play the part assigned them. Con scqucstlj the rebellion wa3 put down with out any difficulty, and Brown is now on trial before a Jury of his countrymen, charged with the highest crimes, that a human being is capable of committing He is a Traitor and a Murderer, and we sincerely hope be will not escape the punishment which his deep guilt merits. But what shall we say of such men as Gerret Smith. Giddings and Fred. Douglas, who gave Brown "aid and comfort" in his treasonable enterprize. but who kept at a respectable distance when the time for action hal arrived? As traitors, they are bis equal But in one respect they are his inferiors; be is a brave man, they are cow ards. In order to show our rea lers the tone of the article in the Star, we clip the following ex tract from it : "This attempt was unsuccessful, Dot be cause it was premature, but because they mistook the elements with which thev had to deal. The slaves did not rush to their sup port as they anticipated, and in stead of have mg a thousand arme dnegroes at their backs, with hourly augmenting numbers, with which they could march Southward and light the fires of rebellion, they found themselves a lone and unassisted, and crushed out after a few hours of feeble resistance. That this was a preconcerted movement, and not mere ly the freak of a madman is proven, besides the documentary evidence found with Brown, by the cautionary letter written to Secretary Floyd mouths ago, and by Smith's letter to the Jerry Rescue Celebration, in which he predicts this very attempt, saying at the same time, that telegraps aDd railroads could be rendered useless in a moment ; that the whole South would be paralyzed and horror stricken the moment the blow was struck that they would make but a feeble resistance to the uprising of their slaves ; but that their whole aim would be to hurry their wives and daughters from the inevitable fate that ed them These are not Gerrefc Kmiti.'. words, but the substance of them. What was at that time considered the blustering of J .i:.:: . t . " DCCUllUg V! reality. But Mr. Smith Las uot proven to wau iiuuiuiuuiH. uas now a Bcniiu nF h PVPTl f ho snn nf n nrnnht ' I h cor. vile population did not rise the telegraphs and railroads did their duty the citizens of the couth did not run terror-stricken away and had it not been for the blood shed, the rebellion would have proved a farce. We are free to admit, that, in our opinion, speeches such as that made by Senator Sew ard at Rochester, go far towards fostering and building up the Abolition sentiment. We do not believe that the able Senator him self, endorses in his heart ' -wfiat his lips, for the sake of "buncombe," said about the "ir repressible eonflict" between the free States and the slave State3. But-' we1 will not dis cuss that question now. We will only say that such speeches as the Rochester speech, whilst they do no good, go far towards em bittering both sections of our Country; and banging on that 'conflict" which it sdould be the aim of every "good citizen to avoid. JST "I called around, Mr. Editor," said Mordicai to us on last Saturday, "I called around to see the Mountain Cricket Club play ing a tew days ago. I was very much pleas ed with the game, but I think the fellows who hold the paddles, or whatever you call them, occupy positions which every good man must condemn. " "Why Mordicai"? we asked. "Because he answered, it is the duty of both, to protect tie wicked(wicket.")"Mor dicai," said we, "I think thaet.is a very .flat pun." "That may be all trucfxMr Editor," he replied, "but if you are in the habit of perusing the column headed "Editorial No tmgs" in the Allegfianian. you know as well as I do, that flat things arenot only said, but actually get into print now a days. "That is very true Mordicai," we answered, "and I must confess, that the sayings of Damphool have goue far towards shaking my belief in the assertion of Shakspear, that there is noth ing in a name." Do you know Mr. Editor" said Mordicai, "that Bitters and Damphool are brothers? Damphool is th6 surname of the family. The youngest of the two was nicknamed Bitters by his friends a number of years ago, because he was in the habit of al ways taking several. Nips before breakfast a practice to which he still religiously adheres. So you see, Mr. Editor, thaflhey are broth ers and both Damphools. suspected as much Mordicai for some time. "we answered. "There is certainly a strong family resem blance between them." "Mordicai" we con tinued, "if we may credit the Editor of the A.ue3haman, Bitters says you are better at taking a Nip with your friends than you are at treating them." " 'Tis a vileslander Mr. Editor," said Mordicai, "bat inasmuch as Bitters is a particular friend of mine. I wont quarrel with him about it. Mr. Editor," con tinued the old gentleman, '.'although I am not much of a scholar, I think no man can say or write any thing gracefully unless it is natural and not far fetched. 7 If it disnlavs premeditation and a desperate determination on the part of the talker or writer to be witty or smart in spite of nature and his stars, it U absolutely disgusting Th .

That is all true Mor dicai," we replied, "and your observations remind me of Hudibras' saying that, "r oo!s are known by looking 'vise, As men find woodcocks by their eves." "Mr. Editor" said Mordicai, "let us step over to Isaac's "and take a Nip or if you are not busy, we'll walk up to Whissel's. He keeps a superior article of small beer. Bitters and I drank several bottles of it the other night Its a wholesome beverage and wont intoxi cate." "Thank you Mordicai," we answer ed, "lam not- thircfw incf nnm tTT!1 " , . . jujwMwn. II Cll, said Mordicai, "I am, Mr. Editor, so good bye I'll call to see you again in a few days " JtW Last Monday night was Hollow eve, or Halloween, as Burns calls it, and of course theVhoys of our town were around for several hours after the "old folks" had retired to rest. They however behaved themselves remarka bly well under the circumstances. They amused themselves by barricading the Di motd with store boxes, wagons, &c,. and several signs were removed, ; As the rising generation must and will have a little fun oc casionally, it dont do to be too severe on them on occasions of this kind. Mordicai is of the opinion, that none but old women in breeches, grumble at the good matured tricks of Young America on Halloween. He thinks however, that it would be much better for tbem if they were asleep in their beds, instead of making uight hideous with their noise. BDr. D. T.
