Post. Tue Haxrer’s Ferry Investicatiox.—Inter- esting Developemesits in regard to the Kansas Relief Society —Mr. George L. Stearns, of Boston, was before the Senate Harper's Ferry Investi- gating Committee, on Friday, and testified as follows : 1 did not tyke any active interest in the Kansas affsirs until the attack on Lawrence and the des- truction of the hotel and other private Property in that town, roused me to the importance of active exertion in bebalf of that pertion of our fellow- citizens who were thus assailed. € assault on Charles Sumner in the Senate chai rat Wasb- ington, which followed closely on ¢he attack of Lawrence. atonce determined me to devote ail my energies to the work of making Kanszs a free State, and I immediately went to the Boston com- mittee for the relief of the sufferers in Kansas and offered my services I worked for them until June of that vear, and then. being willing to de- vote all my time to the cause, was nade chairman of the State Kansas Committee of Massachusetts, which took the place of the first named commit. tee, and continued the work thronghout the State. In five months, jucluding August and December of that Yest,} raised through my agents about forty-eight thousand dollars, and in the same time I commenced the formation of societies ior contributions of clothing, which resulted tn send- ing from twenty to thirty thousand dollars more in supplies of various kinds. * * * Early in January, 1857, 1 saw Brown, of whom l had heard but liad not seen.

About this time. on bis representing that the force to be organized in Kansas ought to be provided with revolvers, I authorized him to purchase five kun- dred from the Massachusetts Arms Company, and when they were delivered to him in Jowa | paid S1.300 for them from myownfunds At the same time, I gave him by a letter of credit to draw on me at sight for $7,000, !n sums as it might be wanted, for the subsistence of one hundred hen, provided that itshould be uecessary at eny tune to call that number into the tield for active ser- vice. In the defence of Kansas, in 1557, as the exigency contemplated did not’ arise, no money was drawn for under it, and the letter was subse- quently returned tome. In the summer of 1857, I contributed with others $1.000 to purchase an addition to the farm then and now ecenpied by Brown's family at North Elba. = * = * Wituess lived in Medford; was first introduced to Brown in Boston. in Jannary, 1*57; Brown did not then ask aid; did not know Brown’s plans; Brown said. to carry out his plans he must con- trol them—they must not be divulged; Brown read from newspaper seraps the orders of the United States army in Utah, and said such a want of secresy gave aid to the enem: yj witness respect- ed Brown's failing; did not Brown’s plars, Brown did nottelihim. * * «* Witness did not know that Brown intended to invade any State; knew that he intended to free slaves, as he did in Kansas, and use force if neces- sary; never had correspondence with John Brown, jr., bad not seen Jobn Brown since May, 1659, or corresponded with him since that time Mr, Fitch objected to admitting that portion of Mr Stearns’ testimony referring to the assault ou Sumner and the attack on Lawrence, but Mr Coilamer insisted that it was poe inasmuch zs it showed the motives which i: cited Stearns to action. The majority finally ruied it out, and refused to allow it to go on the record. PROGRESS IN ARMING THE STATE OF VIRGINIA The Richmond Dispatch says: “We understand that the Commissioners ap- — by the Governor under the act for arm- ng the State, have just returned from a visit of a week to Washington and Harper's Ferry, under- taken for the purpose of colle: ‘ing information as to tbe best description of arms, and machinery for the making of arma.

The reason of the difficulty in making the elec- ton is, simply, because of the fact thatthe office is expected to pay enormously above a fair profit to whoever may eventually achieve it. The “spoils” going with it thus causes this great waste of public money in making the choice. Both parties, or rather all parties, are contending for the plunder for partisan political ends apparently. Now the legitimate effect of the difficulty should be the awakening of the public mind to the neces- sity of speedy and sweeping reforms inthe manner in which the printing of Congress is done, of which further evidence is already at hand in the developements of the use of the profits in the tes timony elucidated by the Senate's special com- mittee upon the subject. So long as those profits are regarded as a fund to be used for political Purposes, they will continue to be neither more nor less than a constant and increasing source of the corruption of Congress and the public morals, pregnant with diastrous consequences to the future of the country. It is well understood that the vote of the Republican party in this contest is being given only upon pledges to use at least half the profits of the office for political purposes; and we have not the slightest doubt that if they are eventually beaten in the race, it will be by some one who perhaps pledges himself to give »ne-half toa similar end on the other side, and, besides, agrees to pay half a dozen lobbyites golden con- siderations out of them, for influencing the votes of various Democratic and American party repre- sentatives. The remedy for this growing curse upon the land lies in hereafter letting out the printing of Congress to the lowest bidder, and then com- pelling a rigid aduerence to the terms of the con- tracts by exacting the forfeiture of the contractors’ bonds when legally forfeited. The only reason why that system is objected to, is the allegation that if the bonds be enforced Congress will be sure to turn a favorable ear to any subsequent ap- plications for relief from the penalties. It not unfrequently happens that Congress throws ex- Penses 0: contractors not provided for in thejr agreements; and in such cases they should cer- tainly indemnify them. But there is no valid reason why they should deal with a contractor otherwise than as an individual would deal with him. When the members learn the importance of holding public contractors to as rigid fuitil- ment of their obligation, as to a man, they would hoid them were the contracts with themselves, individuaily, this proper system will be adopted with suecess. The increasing glaring abuses of the current system in the hands of all parties should prove sufficient to work the requisite change, it seems to us —— Tue Democratic Senatoria, Cavcrs —The result of Saturday’s deliberations of this body, which were protracted until a late hour, was an agreement that a series of resolutions should be supported in open Senate. identical in purport (though slightly modified in language) with these of Senator Davis, with which all newspaper read- ers are by this time familiar. On but one of them is it probable that there will be the least division of sentiment in the Senate ehamber, when they come to be considered there—on the tifth—which, in substance, declares that when the Executive or Judiciary powers of the Government fail toaccord adequate or necessary protection to any description of property in the Territories, it then becomes the duty of Congress to intervene to thatend. The rest (of the series of seven) re solutions, we repeat, announce and enforce principles upon which at this time no difference of sentiment exists among all claiming identitication with the Democratic party. There are thirty-eight Democrats in the Senate, cf whom four only are understood to be likely to vote against these resolutions,viz: Messrs Douglas and Pugh, who contended in the caucus, as elsewhere, for the right of territorial legisla- tares to exclude slavery from United States Teiri- tories; and Messrs. Brown and Clingman, who are understood to allege that the fifth resolution dves not go far enough in the matter of protecting the right of slaveholders. The series will doubtless soon become the sub- ject of elaborate and able discussion in the Senate Chamber. Yet it is questionable whether they will be adopted by the body, with the four votes mentioned above against them in addition to an united opposition. Though it is generally thought that no effort will be made by any Senator to have them pressed on the Charleston Convention, the South there will be very likely to seek their adop- tion by that body, whose duty it is simply to re- adopt the Cincinnati platform. We may further add, however, that it is already regarded by the best-informed persons here as being impossible that any one can be nominated at Charleston who fails to subscribe to them; for they embo, unanimous sentiment upon the Territorial slo very question of the Democracy of every State that may be relied on surely ta vote for the Democratic vational nominees In this matter affairs ure work. ing according to our frequent prediction, that ere the meeting of the Charleston Convention it wil! soon be feund that a gentleman holding the views of Mr. Douglas has little more prospect of being ac- cepted by the Democracy of the South as their candidate, than Mr. Seward himself. —— ge How Not To Do It.—The Douglas Committee fu this city are evidently most indefatigable gen- tlemen, and are benton leaving no stones un- turned to secure D."s nomination at Charles n They even goso faras actually to pelta slave- holding State with abolition stones, thick and hot, as will be seen from the following letter from a gentleman of high character : Vianna, Md., Feb. 20), 1s6u. Dear Sir: [enclose you a pamphlet, hundreds ¢f which have been circulated withina few days past in this county, and addressed to Democrats, under the frank of Fouke of Illinois. The object is apparent upon its face—to present Douglas, vy a parity of reason, xs the friend of the Soutn, and to iniluence the action of the State Convention in the nomination of delegates to the Charleston Convention. Iudependent of its un- derbanded design, its citculutors are guilty of disseminating abolition documents in our miast The attention of our Representat ves have bee. called to it, presuming that it should be generally known by the Representatives of the South. Very respectfully, yours, &c. The pamphlet referred to 1s beaded as follows: “ Donylas an enemy to the North—Reasons why the North should oppose Judge Douglas—His duplicity exposed. peech of the Hon. Abraham Lincoin, ef Mlinots: delivered at Clocinnati, Sept. 19, 1859 Printed by Lemuel Towers.” A imore villainously abolition incendiary docu, ment than this same was never essayed to be scat- tered broadcast throughout a slaveholding State, and it is therefore not wonderfui that the estima- ble writer of the letter is indignant at the system of electioneering at theexpense of future peace throughout the South, thus resorted to for the ben- efit of Mr. Douglas. While bitterly denying and earnestly combatting every assertion relative to Mr. Douglas in this pamphlet, at the North, thus his committee strive to create theimpression in the South t'at they are all true. In essaying to carry ‘water on both shoulders, after this fashion, they of course ain to deceive one section or the other. TLe game, to say the least of it, is a very reprebensibie one. and cannot fail to meet the condemnation of all honest men throughout the South, where really no better means to defeat its own object could pos- sibly have been resorted to.

Tronton, Iron county, Mo Dgar Star :—You will probably be surprised to hear thet an old subscriber has turned upin this out of the way place, a trra incognita to one- half of your numerous readers. Thinking a su- Perficial description of this a0 long neglected part of our Union, might be of some interest to some of your readers, I'll try to give them a sketch of what I’ve seen. Iron County derives its name from the immense qvantity of iron fourd within its limits. There is certainly no region of its size that contains so much mineral as this. This county is reached by taking the Iron Mountain Railroad. which {s in- tended to connect Memphis with St. Louis, but Whose present terminns is Pilot’s Knob, $6 miles south of St. Louis. The pon vel towns in the county are Pilot’s Knob, the village of Arcadia, and the embryo city of Ironton he village of Pilot’s Knob is chiefly inhabited by the employes of the Pilot’s Knob Iron Company. Ironton basa pulation of about 700, is the county seat, and has some fine buildings. among which are a court-house. lately built, two churches, Society Hall, &c. ‘The original proprietors and projectors ef the town, Messrs. Tong & Carson, have been very liberal in donating lots to the several church organizations, and have laid off the town fn a neat manuer. This is the only incorporated town in the county. It is two miles distant from the present railroad terminus. Arcadia is situated in a beautiful valley, and js a great summer resort. The world renowned Pi- lot's Knob is a solid mass of fron ore of the purest uality; its base covers some 5U0 acres. The quarry fom which the ore is taken being at an elevation of some 350 feet from the foot of the mountain, a railroad has been constracted for conveying the ore to the toe of the furnaces; small cars are used, and the descending car pniis up by its own weight the ascending one, by means of an endless wire cable. The company. owns some 50,000 acres of wood- land in the vicinity, but asa great part of the wood is already used up in charcoal, the ore will probably soon have to be conveyed to another part of the State, where wood ore plenty. The furnaces of the comp:ny are well dese rying of a visit. This ore has been analyzed by Prof. Cullom, of France. and the result is as foll 65; oxyzen, 26; alumina, 2; silicia, 5. at of Suepherd Monntain. which is situated west of the former, resulted in iron 63; oxygen, 27; feld- spar and tz, 8.

During the summer months, some 200 visitors inay be seen in one day, climbing up this moun- tain. ‘Though the ascent is somewhat laborious, the visitor is amply repaid by the spiendid Pano- rama stretched out before his eyes. Near to the foct of the mountain, Ironton draws his attention; the court-house, with its splendid cupola, retlects the rays of the setting sun. Close to it is the South Arcadia, nestled amid grecn fields and gardens. To the north, the village of Pilot Knob, partly hidden by the steam and amoke rising by day and night from the smelting fur- haces Allis life; some 200 miners are engaged in blasitag and breaking ore, which disappears directly in the capactous jaws of the furnaces The ore, which is scatt: red all over the surface of the mountain, and with which a good purt of the read leading to Ironton Is paved, would alone give work to quite a number of furnaces for years to come. But as long as they can obtein by a single blast tons of it, nobody will trouble him- self by picking small pieces =| Shepherd Mountain, whose base covers an area of £0) acres, and which is some hundred feet higher than the Knob, is nearly one solid mass of ore, whose quantity or value is beyond calculation. Besides the abovementioned, the whole ridge of hills in the neighborhood contain iron enongh to supply the demand ef the world for some time to come.
