Humiliating indeed to the United States goverment, that a city of a commerce aupuaily of some millions should have to call Wm the aid of a foreign nation to protect American citizens from outrage and also to protect United States property.

The United States government have all of this to answer for; they removed the troops from here, the exact spat above ull others that troops ave needed, and all the muni- tions of war are removed to Brazos Santiago, thirty miles from here, thero to tel eae caunons to rust and be fit for no service. ‘0 have petitioned the powers e at Washington to help us and send us troops, but they have beon deaf to our entreatios—wo told them that scenes of lawless violence would be en- neted bere, but of no avail No doubt that at Wash- ington they haye more important business to aend to than protecting the citizens of this land from rapine and murder, The government must send us help or we will have leave here, because this outrage may at any time be renewed, and we will have to keep under arms antil we whether the authorities willor will not help us.

Wasuineron, Oct. 17, 1859. Atelegraph despatch has just been received by the Secretary of War from Mr. Garrett, President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, stating that a serious affair has occurred at Harper’s Ferry, where the United States Armory and the bridge are in possession of a large band of armed men, said to be abolitionists, but thought to be Armory men. The guns from the Armory have been taken for offensive use, and the leaders notified our men that no trains shall pass the Armory and Bridge. Our officers were fired upon, and @ laborer nearly killed. The wires being cut, we gotour advices from the next station, He asks the Secretary of War to get the government to allow the military of Washington and Baltimore to go on in the three o’clock train this afternoon, and render them such assistance aa may be necessary. ‘The Cabinet are now in session upon the matter, The government immediately ordered that a company of marines from Washington barracks should leave this afternoon, under the command of Colonel Harris, for Harper's Ferry, and if neces- sary any farther assistance that may be required. Colone) Rokert Lee, of the army, will comniand th&\United States forces. He leaves in the after- noon train with a company of marines, and will be joined on the Ohio Railroad by a company of yolun- teers from Maryland. Troops have been ordered from Old Point. Wassineton, Oct. 17, 1859. A passenger who has just arrived here, who left Harper’s Ferry this morning, having been detained there for upwards of five hours, corroborates the statements received to-day by the Secretary of War. This gentleman, who is an intelligent man, states thata negro insurrection of a formidable charac- ter, headed by white men, isin active operation. They are fully armed with muskets and other arms, which they had seized at the Armory. They had, when the train left, taken all of the white citizens, so my informant says, and held them as prisoners. They number one hundred and fifty, and recruits were coming in constantly from the surrounding country. My informant says that they told him that they would have, by one o’clock to-day, over seven hun- dred negroes and white men, The object of this movement was to obtain their freedom. They had cut off all the avenues of communica. tion with the town, and refused to let any leave the place. They allowed the train that my informant was in to pacs, after a detention of five hours, giving the conductor only five minutes to decide; if not, they would seize them and lock them up in the Armory. He says they barely escaped with their lives. The Secretary of War received some time since an anonymous letter, stating that a foray would be made by negroes, headed by white men, upon Harper's Ferry, Wheeling, and other points in Vir- ginia, about the middle of October. At the time he thought nothing of ft, and gave it no attention whatever; but it looks from this movement as though they have been organizing for some time, and intended to carry it out. THE GENERAL NEWSPAPER DESPATCHES. Barrons, Oct. 17, 1859. A despatch just received here from Frederick, and dated this morning, states that an insurrection had broken out at Harper’s Ferry, where an armed band of abolitionists have full possession of the government arsenal. The express tuain going east was twice fired into, and one of the railroad hands and a negro killed, while they were endeavoring to get the train through the town. The insurrection- ists stopped and arrested two men who had come to town with a load of wheat, and seizing their wagon, loaded it with rifles, and sent them into Maryland. The insurrectionists number about two hundred and fifty whites, and are aided by a gang of negroes. At last accounts fighting was going on. Bartrwors, Oct. 17—1 P. M, It is apprehended that the affair at Harper's Ferry is more cerfous than our citizens seem willing to believe. The wires from Harper's Ferry are cut, and consequently we have no telegraphic communication beyond Monocacy Station. The Southern train which wes here at an early hour this morning has not yet arrived. It isramored there is a stampede of negroes from this State. There are mony other wild rumors, but nothing authentic as yet. ‘The above is given just as it was received here. It seems very improbable, and should be received with great caution, wntdl confirmed by further advices. r Barmweors, Oct. 17—2 P. M. Another account, ‘recefved by train, says the bridge across the Potomac was filled with insur- gents, all armed. Evory light in the town was ex- tinguished, and the hotels closed. All the streets were in possession of the mob, and every road and lane leading thereto barricaded and guarded. Meu were seen in every quarter, with muskets and bayonets, who atreiod the citizens, and pressed them into the service, including many negroes, This done, the United States Arsena and Government Pay House, in which was said to bes large amount of money, and all the other.pul- Uc works, were seized by the mob. Some were of the opinion that the object was en- tirely to pludder and to rob the government of the funds deposited on Saturday at the Pay House. During the night the mob made a demand on the Wager Hotel for provisions, and enforced the claim by a body of armed men. The citizens were in a terrible state of alarm, the insurgents having threatened to burn the town. The following has just been received from Mo. nocacy, this side of Harper's Ferry:—“The mail #gent on the Western bound train has returned to Monocacy, and reports that the train was unable to get through. The town {s in possessian of thé negroes, who arrest every one they can catch and imprison. The train due here at 3 P. M. could not get through, and the agent came down on an empty ” Pee Barone, Oct. 17.—2:30 P. M. The western train on the Baltimore and Obi Railroad has just arrived here. Its officers confirm the statements first received touching the distur- bance at Harper’s Ferry. Their statement is to the effect that the bridgekeeper st Harper’s Ferry, perceiving that his lights had been extinguished, went to ascertain the cause, when he was paur- sued and fired upon by a gang of black and whites. Subsequently the train came along, when @ colored man, who acted as assistant to the bag- gage master, was shot, receiving @ mortal wound, and the conductor, Mr. Phelps, was threatened with violence if he attempted to proceed with the train. Feeling uncertain as to the condition of affiirs, the conductor waited until after daylight before he ventured to proceed, having delayed the train six hours. Mr. Phelps says the insurrectionists number two hundred blacks and whites, and that they have fall possession of the United States armory. The par- ty is commanded or led by a man named Anderson, who had lately arrived at Harper’s Ferry. Mr. Pheips also confirms the statement in a previous despatch, that the insurrectionists had seized a wagon, and loading it with muskets, had despatched it into Maryland. The military of Frederick had been ordered out. Despatches have been received from President Buchanan, orgering out the United States troops at this point, and a special train is now being got ready to convey them to the scene of distarburb- ance. He has also accepted the volunteered ser vices of Captain Senick’s Company, of Frederick, and has likewise ordered the government troops from Old Point Comfort to proceed immediately to Harper's Ferry. This intelligence is authentic. Barons, Oct. 17—3:30 P.M. The mail train going West, got as far as Sandy, when Mr. Hood, the baggage master and another party started on foot to the bridge. They went through the bridge, and were taken and imprisoned, but subsequently went before the captain of the ineurrectionists, who refused to let anything pass. Allof the eastward bound trains lying west of Harper’s Ferry, have been taken, persons from this side the river tying them together and taking off the slaves. The mail train bound west has re- turned to Monocacy. There are from five hundred to seven hundred whites and blacks concerned in the insurrection. The United States marines at Washington are under orders for Harper's Ferry. There is great excitement in Baltimore, and the military are mov- ing; several companies are in readiness to take the train, which will leave soon. Barrons, Oct. 17—4 P. M. An account from Frederick says a letter has been received there from a merchant at Harper's Ferry, sent by & boy, who had to cross the moun. tain and awim the river, which says that all the princi, al citizens are imprisoned, and many have been killed; also that the Railroad agent had been shot twice, and that the watchman at the depot had been shot dead. Barrionx, Oct. 17-5 P.M. A train filed with military, including the Law Greys, City Guards, Shield’s Guards, and other companies, left here at four o’clock for Harper's Ferry. Reprosentatives of the press accompanied the military: Barrons, Oct. 17-7 P.M, : Despatches from Martinsburg, west of Harper’s Ferry, received via Wheeling and Pittsburg, con- firms the report of the insurrectionists having pos- session of the arsenal at Harper's Ferry, and says they have planted cannon at the bridge. All the trains have been stopped. A body of armed men was getting ready to proceed thither to clear the road. There was greatexcitement st Martinsburg, Va. There is great excitement here. Company F, with full ranks has just left the armory, expecting to take # special train to-night. This is a new com- pany with a similar uniform to the Greys. The Greys leave for Harper's Ferry early in the morning. The Governor left to-night for Washington. Bauriorg, Oct. 17—9 P. M. The American’s special reporter telegraphs from Plane No. 4, 45 miles from Baltimore and 31 from Harper's Ferry, at 8 o’clock, that the train consists of 17 cars with 400 troops, under Major Reynolds, with a roadmaster and laborers to re- pair the track and telegraphers to mend the line. Three companies from Frederick were in an ad- yance trrin. Col. Harris, of the United States ma- rines, commanding the expedition, follows in a special train. They will not reach Harper’s Ferry before 10 o'clock. Wasnrxoron, Oct. 17—4 P. M, On the receipt of the intelligence from Harper's Ferry, orders were issued for three companies of artillery at Old Point, and the corps of marines at the Wachiogton Barracks, to proceed thither with- out deley. The marines, ninety-three in number, left in the 3:15 afternoon train, with two twelve pound howiteers and a full supply of ammunition. It is reported that they are under orders to force the bridge to-night at all hazards. Colonel Faulk- ner accompanies them. It ia reported on good authority that some weeks ago Secretary Floyd received an anonymous epie- tle stating that about the 15th of October the abo- litionists and negroes, and other disaffected persons, would make an attempt to seize the arsenal and hold the place, but the statement was s0 indefinite and improbable asto cause no feara of such an outbreak, Wasnrxerox, Oct, 17—9 P.M. In view of the possibility of the disturbances at Harper’s Ferry extending to thia vicinity, the May- ors of Washington and Alexandria have taken pre- cautionary steps for ita suppression. The President, through the Mayor of Washington, ordered a strong detachment of volunteer militia to be posted at the national and company armories, which was prompt- ly done. Tw hundred stand of muskets and a sup- ply of ammunition were also placed in the City Hall for emergency. It is suggested by well informed persons that the cause of the insurrection is the reported fact that not long since the contractor for the construction of @ government dam at the ferry absconded, largely indebted to several hundred employera, who have taken this step to indemnify themselves by the seizure of the government funds, which it ‘was supposed were transported thither on Satur- day. A gentleman just in from Harper's Ferry thinks the blacks participated in the outbreak only ‘ha cel Rroawonp, Oct. 17, 1859. It fs reported and believed that the Governor of Virginia has ordered volunteer troops to Har- per’s Ferry. Mowocaoy Baier, Oct. 17-10 P. M. The train arrived here at nine o'clock. Luther Simpson, baggage master, of the mail train, gives the following particulara:—I walked up the bridge, was s@epped, bat was afterwards per- mitte@to go up and see the captain of the in surrectionists, I was taken to the armory, and saw the captain, whose name is Bill Smith. I was kept prisoner more than an hour, and saw from five hundred to six hundred negroes al! having arms; there were tyvo or three hundred white men with them; all the houses were closed. I went into a tavern kept by Mr. Chambers, thirty of the inhabitants were collected there with arms, they said most of the inhabitants had left, but they de- clined, preferring to protect themselves. It was reported that five or six persons had been shot. Mr. Simpson was escorted back over the bridge by six negroes. The train with the Frederjck military is lying at Point of Rocks. A train with the directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad on board is on the other side of Harper's Ferry. It was believed that the insur- rectiouista would leave as soon as it became dark. Orders have been received here that the train shall stop at Sandy Hook until Col. Lee, who is fol- lowing in a special train, arrives. There are any amount of ramors, but nothing — Moxocacy, Oct. 18—1 A. M. The special train, with Colonel Lee’s command, passed this station at 11:30P.M. It is supposed that there is difficulty in adjusting the breaks in the road this side of Harper’s Ferry, as nothing has wince been heard of the expedition. POSTSCRIPT. TUESDAY—5y A. M. Battle Between the Troops and the Incar- gente—Sixteen Persons Killed—The Hamsas Free State Leaders at the Head of (he In- sarrection, Kes, Ke. Baxrimors, Oct, 18—4 A. M. The Government are taking precedence to the press despatches. We understand that Col. Lee telegraphed that it would not be necessary to bring on troops from Fort Monroe and asks that they be detained at Fort McHenry. All the rioters now living are barricaded in the engine house in the armory enclosure. A wumber of citizens are imprisoued with them, wlom they refuse to release, Several companies of Virginia troops are on the ground. They haye placed a guard in the village. The Marines have charge of the Armory. Several citizens have been killed and several rioters have been killed also. The town has been taken possession of by com panies from Charleston, Shephardstown, Va., and Frederick. ‘The rioters are entrenched in the armory. They held Mr. Washington and Mr. Langenfeld aa pri- soners. ‘The insurrectionists are commanded by Captain Brown, of Kansas notoriety. They numbered origi- nally seventeen white men and five negroes. Seve- tal of them were shot. Two men of the Martins- burg company were shot dead, whilst charging on the armory. A portion of the insurgents have left under the command of Cook, with a large party of slaves, and are supposed to be moving toward Pennsylvania. Allen Evans, one of the insurrectionists, is lying dying here, shot throngh the breast. He is from Connecticut, but has been in Kansas, He says the whole scheme was got ub by Brown, who re pre- ented sia tthe negroes would rise by thousands, and Maryland and Virginia be made free States. Colonel Shriver, of Frederick, has just had an in- terview with Brown in the armory. He asked tu be allowed to march out with his men, and avowed the intention of defending himself to the last. They were very s'rongly posted in the engine honse, and cannon cannot be used against them for fear of injuring the prisoners which they still bold. Some sixteen persons are known to have been killed. Fountain Breckham, Railroad agent, was clot dead from the Armory. Three rioters are lying dead under the bridge, shot by the Shephardstown troops in their charge on the bridge. Captain Cook, who is second in the command of the insurgents, is said to be posted in the School house, four miles distant, with a large body of run- away slaves. The armory was taken possession of about nine o'clock Sunday night. It had been so quietly done that the citizens knew nothing of it until the train was stopped- Col. Lee has arrived, and thinks there are abun- dant troops here to capture the rioters. It seems certain that the original pirty consisted of not more than twenty white men and five free negroes. Capt. Brown had been abont here, and rented a farm, four milep off, which was the rendezvous of the rioters. » OCTOBER 18, 1859—TRIPLE SHEET. Capt. Cook has also lived about here, and one time taught achoo). All other white men are unknown. They are supposed, however, to be men who have been con- nected with Brown in Kansas, It is reported, but not certain, that the rioters have carried off a considerable amount of govern- ment funds. No attempt was made to pillage the town or in- sult the females, Capt. Brown claims easy torms on account of his moderation. ADDITIONAL FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE HAMMONIA, ‘The screw steamship Hammonia, Captain Schwenlin, which left Hamburg on the 3d and Southampton on the 4th inst., arrived at this port at half-past seven o’clock yesterday evening. Tne news by the North Briton, telegrapned from Far- ther Point, which appeared in the Hzraup on Monday morning, is one day later than that by the Hammonia.

From this conviction we desire the certainty of our future. We believe in oar future freedom, therefore we shail be free. The pe ree resolution bas with the whole pation become a religious creed. To have learnt all this is some consolation; and one more J have—I have the satisfaction to know th t by not allowing myseif to be Influenced by promises, that by in- sisting on the guarantee of irretractible facts preliminary to my giving the signal for rising, I have preserved my couniry from great tunes for aims which were not our own, and have preserved its future uncompromised— intact. ‘This, at least, is @ bright epeck on the dreary horizon of my deep grief.
