The President, Secretary of State and Secretary of War were together several hours to-day, on matters connect- ed with the proceedings at Harper’s Ferry, and the re sultof the conference was the sending of District Attorney Ould thither, to superintend legal proceedings in the premizes.

It is stated that every white person engaged in the in- eurrection was a comparative stranger there, and other information received to-day sustains this statement. im seems that Brown and his gang have been povering about Harper's Ferry for somo two months preparing their plans. Our information leads us to the belief that nota single negro other than such as Wey forced to act with them at the moment, by placing Joaded murkets at their heads, was involved in the affair; nor were any white men engaged in the insurrection, ag actual parties to it, except the Kansas gang of Brown, aud » band of kindred desperadoes he has been able to re- eruit io various non-slaveholding States. That plunder was one of their main objects is evident in the fact'that ere the neighboring militia came down on them yesterday they robbed the government arsenal chest there ‘ef all t contained, possibly somewhere between sixteen fhousand and twenty thousand dollars in specie, which they immediately sent off in two wagons they pressed into their service. At the same time these wagons were accompanied by a guard of their party, and have doubt- Jess been overtaken and their contents retaken ere this. - It is certain that Ossawattamie Brown expected instant aki and reinforcements. The aid he counted on was doubt- Jess from a negro insurrection, which he hoped to impro- ‘viee, promising, #s he did, unconditional freedom to every megroe he caught on forcing arms into his hands. The promptness with which President Buchanan con- eentrated the Militia of Virginia and Maryland, and the | Marines at the Fecry—for the telegraph at this point was Dusy ail day yesterday in that work—illustrates capitally the force and method of his executive energy. Despatches were received by tho President this morn- WEO IS BROWN, THE LEADER? SKE°CH OF CAPTAIN JOHN BROWN, THE LEADER OF THE INSURRECTION. Captain John Brown emigrated to Kansas from Central New York, in the fall of 1855, and settled in the township of Ossawattomic. He was accompanied by seven 028, the youngest being old enough to earn his livelihood. The birthplace of Brown is not positively known to the writer, but rej ort has it that he was born ia Kentucky. Atthe time of his death be was about sixty years of age. He ‘was about medium height, slim, muscular, and possessing an iron constitution. He had blue eyes, sharp features and long gray hair, wearing a full beard. In December, 1855, during the “Shannon war,’’ Brown first made his appearance among the free State men at Lawrence. His entrance into the place at once attracted the attention of the people towards him. He brought a wagon load of cavalry sabres, and was accompanied by twelve men, seven of whom were his own sous. He first exhibited his qualities at the time the free State and pro- slavery parties, under the lead of Governor Robinson on one side, and Governor Shannon on the other, met to make a treaty of peace. After Governor Robinson had stated tothe people who were gathered around the hotel the terms of the peace, Brown took the stand, uninvited, and opposed the terms of the treaty. He was in favor of ig- noring all treaties, and euch leading men as Robinson, Lane and Lowry, and proceeding at once against the bor- der ruffian invaders, drive them from the soil or hang ing from Gov.

He was informed by the leaders of that party that his remarks were intended to undo what they were trying to accomplish by means of the ‘treaty; that he was a stranger in Lawrence and Kansas, and ought not by his rash remarks to compromise the people of Lawrence until he bad known them longer and knew them better. One of bis sons, who was elected to the Legislature in February, 1856, was seized and taken from Ossawatiomie to Lecompton in chains, a distance of thirty miles. His fee’ ha were chained together with a large heavy chain, the ciae of that used upon ox teams. He was comp l'cd to wall the whole distance beneath a Durning fon. The irons wore the flesh from his ankles; he was attacked with the brain fever, was neglected, and died im two or three days. He was a companion of Gov. Robineun, Jenkins (sixee ehot by Lane), and some eight wouch excited ere arriving at Harper's Ferry, delaring bis | determination to haye every imsurrectionist hung by nightfall. ‘We have no reliable account of the number of the in- sorrectionists engaged.

The news of this massacre reached Westport, Missouri, the piace of rendezyous of the ‘border rufflaas,”’ the same evening that the Kansas Commission sent out by the'United States House of Representatives arrived at that place.

The “‘ruffians’’ swore vengeance upon the members and officers of the Commission, de- claring that their blood should recompense for the slaugh- ter at Pottawattomie creck, and but for the intercession of Mr. Oliver, the prosiavery member of the Commission, and others, it was believed that the Commission would bave been attacked.

The insurrection at Harper’s Ferry has differed from all previous servile insurrections in this country in this important point: that whereas im all former movements of the kind the discontented blacks, either slaves or free, were the prime movers, and almost always the sole actors therein, this one has been not only got up, but carried through by white men. It does not appear in any positive manner that any of the colored people of Vir- ginia or Maryland participated in the movement of their own accord, Some few free negroes from Iowa may have done so, but few or none from the slave States. Those who appeared to act with the insurgents were pressed into service. This shows that the movement was not got up in the interest or with the connivance of the slaves, but was purely a political one. Contrast it with the negro insurrections of 1831 and 1866. THE NEGRO INSURRECTION IN 1831. Itis now some twenty-eight years since the people of the southern tier of counties in Virginia were thrown into terrible consternation and alarm by a negro insur- rection, or outbreak, which was inaugurated there under the most brutal and bloody auspices, The negroes seem. to select Sunday night as the best time for commencing active measures. It was on a Sunday evening that the abolitionists and negroes of Harper’s Ferry exposed their plans, by seizing upon the armory and taking possession of the town, and it was also on a Sabbath evening that the negroes of Southampton county commmenced their de- moniacal work, Southampton county is on the frontier, between Virginia and North Carolina, and is distant some eighty miles from Richmond, The first intelligence that reached the capital of Virginia in regard to the outbreak of 1831 represented the existence of a most frightful condition of things in Southampton county. One of the editors of the Norfolk Herald, writing on the 24th of August, thus tells the Norrorx, 24th August, 1831. Thave a horrible and {heart-rending tale to relate, and lest even its worst feature should be distorted by rumor and ec: ration, 1 have ht it proper to give you all and the worst’ information has as yet reached us through the best sources of intelligence which the nature of the case will admit. A gentleman arrived here yesterday express from Suffolk, with intelligence from the upper part of South- ampton county, stating that a band of insurgent slaves (some of them believed to be runaways, from the neigh- boring swamps) had turned out on Sunday night last, and murdered several whole families, amounting to ay. or fifty individuals. Some of the families wore named, and among them was that of Mrs. Catharine Whitehead, sister of our worthy townsman, Dr. N. C. Whitehead, who, with her son and five daughters, fell a sacrifice to the savage ferocity of these demons in human shape. ‘The insurrection was represented as one of a most alarming character, though it is believed to have originat- cd only in a design to plunder, and not with a view toa more important object—as Mrs. Whitehead, being a ed to have had 4 large sum of Unfortunately, a large number of nt at a camp meet- hy lady, was sup in her house. mone: the effective male population was al ing im Gates county, some miles off, a circumstance which gave a temporary security to the brigands in the perpe- tration of their butcheries; and sufficient to check their carcer.

Further statements confirmed the general truth of the foregoing narrative, and represented that three hundred negroes, Well mounted and armed, and headed by one or two white men, constituted the whole of the insurgent force. Other accounts exaggerated their numbers to six or cht hundred, and represented the militia force of three hundred men as retreating before the blacks, who were armed with shot guns, muskets, scythes and axes. Prompt and efficieat measures were immediately taken by the Governor of the State to suppress the insurrection, Infantry, cavalry and artillery were despatched in all The authoritics of North Carolina also supplied troops, and the federal troops stationed at Norfolk, Fortress Monroe and other points were placed at the service of the State. The re- sultof these prompt and decisive measures was, that all the negroes engaged in the movement were, with a few exceptions, killed or captured within afew days. It was thonght that some of them had made their retreat haste from Richmond and Norfolk. into the Dismal Swamp, « rumor prevailed that rendezvous for several hundred runaway slaves. Fortunately theee rumors proved unfounded. The movement was completely suppressed, though not until from fifty to sixty whites, principally women and children, had beon barbarously slaughtered, and un- til full vengeance had been taken on their hellish murder- ers. From the published accounts of the affair, we ex- tract the following, from which it would appear that the numbers of the blacks were greatly exaggerated, but that their atrocities were not:— On the night of the 23d uit. the Southampton militia had three skirmishes with a gang of from forty to fifty ne- groes, the latter retreating each time. In one account itis stated, that one of the militia, of the name of Pope, was killed, in another that the whites sustained no loss what- ever. The negroes made three attempts to cross the bridge at Belfield, but were repulsed cach time by a party of mi- litia who were stationed on the opposite side with a piece of artillery. A party of four milftiamen, who had been sent to reconnoitre the blacks, came up with a party of about Pic of them, and after a sharp engagement, suc- ceeded in killing threo or four, and taking several prison- crs, when the remainder fled. The great object of the negroes, afer the rallying of the militia, appeared to be to reach the Dismal Swamp, but such was the vigilance of the former, that nearly evcry one was either shot down or Many of the blacks were well mounted, and h bird and other guns, and axes. Tho roads were etrewed with the carcasses of the negroes killed, and upto the 25th ult. neither these nor the corpses of the unfortunate whites had been buried; arrangements were, however, mgking for their interment, The aifterent accounts are Conflicting a8 to the number A ied, and, indeed, under the circumstances in which they have been written, it is not to be wondered that they should be go. f ‘We gather from letters published in the Richmond Whig, of the £$th ultimo, the following statements. A letter from the scnior editor of that paper, who ie on the spot slates that the number of the ingurrectionary negroes had been greatly exaggerated, but that it was hardly within the power of rumor itself to exaggerate their atrocities; whole families, father, mother, daughter, sons, sucking babes and school children, were butchered by them, \hrown into heaps, aud left’to be devoured by hogs and dogs, or to putrefy on the spot.

Thus ended the negro insurrection of 1881. THE NEGRO INSURRECTION OF 1856. There are few of our readers who will not have @ recol lection of the excitement that prevailed in the Southern States in the summer of 1856, growing out of the defiant and hostile attitude of the negro population in Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and other Southern States. Disclosures cf plote, having for design a rising upon and murdering the white population, were made, and terrible apprehensions caused thereby. Ne- groes, free a8 well as slave, were seized and put to the torture, and in some instances confessions were wrung from them implicating others. In the village of Mur- freesboro, in Tennessee, the white inhabitants assem: bled and drove out the free negroes, on the ground that their depredations on property had become insufferable. In Union county, Arkansas, the citizens seized upon an. abolitionist, named Hancock, on suspicion of tampering with the slaves. After making some confessions, he man- aged to escape, but he was recaptured, carried to the town of El Dorado, and there tried. He was not found guilty, however; but as he boasted that he knew all about the matter and would not tell, the citizens took him out to the woods and shot him—a rather summary pro- ceeding. truly. Another person named Martin, who was supposed to be engaged in the same plot, was also scized by the same parties, brought to El Dorado, tried, adjudged guilty, and was hung. The idea was that there was to be a general concentration of negroes on the 14th of October, at a given point, who were to be Jed by Hancock and others, and that they intended to attack the town, murder all the white inhabitants, possess themselves of whatever pro- visions and valuables they could Jay their hands on, and then start off for Kangas. The execution of Hancock and Martin prevented the working out of the plot, if indeed it ever existed. About the same time there was an intense excitement in the region around Nashville, Tenn., where there was an at- tempted insurrection of the biacks. Six of the ring- leaders were seized and executed at Dover for being im- plicated in the conspiracy. Three of these were preach- ers; and it was said that all the negro preachers and ac: tive members of the church were found to be most effi- cient and zealous in the insurrection. ‘The lash was freely applied to extort confessions. A newspaper correspondent wko was present at the exe- cution saw alist of the negroes that had been whipped, and was told what they all had stated; and then he witnessed the examination of the rest, some taking five or six hun- dred lashes before they wouldtell the tale. Ono of the negroes died from the whipping. The substance of their confession wag, that they were to ‘“‘rise on the night of Christmas eve, murder the manager of the furnace works and his family, reserving his wife for one of the negroes, named Ishmael. Then they were to murder several other white people, and make an attack on Dover, where they expected to help themselves with arms, ammunition and everything else they wanted. After that they were to scatter themselves over the country. Several masters had bung their own slaves, and it was believed that the con- spiracy was a general one over all the Southern States. In South Carolina muskets and ammunition had been found in the hands of slaves, anno less than thirty-five negroes were hung there. Escapes of slaves were very numerous, and the white population was in the most in- tense alarm, ‘The seourging and the hanging and the shooting proved the white population of the Southern States were moro frightened than hurt by the servile insurrection of 1856. Court of Common Pleas. THE HUSBAND LIABLE FOR HIS WIFE'S BUSINESS DEBTS. Before Hon: Judge Daly, without a jury cr. 18, Deborah B. Messeroe vs. William Watson.—This action was brought by the agsignee of John H. Hazen, to recover of the defendant $852 for merchandize sold and ered by Hazen to defendant's wife in 1857. Tho de- fence set up was, that the defendant was in no way con- nected with the transaction, it being the purchase of the wife only; she at that time Was carrying on a millinery busines in this city in ker one name, and that plaintiff's books and bills showed the goods to be charged in the wife’s name, and that this business was carried on by do- fendant’s wife with her separate property, and, although tefendant lived with her, he was disconnected with the business, and that the act of 1848-'49 empowered her with the right so to do, and consequently defendant could not be held liable fer any such business indebtedness of his wife. The plainati’ contended that the acts referred to tid not apply to this case, and showed numerous decisions to that effect; that the husband’s liability for his wife busi- uees indebtedness remained unchanged by the passage of these acts, and that the wife, when permitted by hor hus- band to engage in any business is regarded as his agent, ag at common law, and he is liable for her indebtedness; and in this case’ the plaintiff ought to recover of the defendant. The Court rendered judgment for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. ——___ Charge of Smuggling Jewelry. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. Before Hon: Judge Ingersoll. Oot. 18,—The United States vs. One Trunk Containing Jew- dry and Money.—This action was brought by the United States to forfoit these goods for smuggling and landing them without a permit from the Custom Honse officer. The value of the jewelry was about $7,860 and the money $820. The goods wero landed about the 20th of January, 1859, ond some five weeks afterwards were seized, un the claimant also confined on a charge of smuggling, from Which he has been discharged on his own recognizance. The United States examined the Custom House officers, who testified that they did not remember passing the baggage of the claimant, Charles Worms. ‘They also in- troduced evidence of alleged confessions at the station house made by Worms. ‘The defence alleged that tho goods were purchased in this country with money brought from Buenos Ayres, and examined Parties who saw par- ties selling jewelry and diamonds to Worms, ia the city of New York. The purchases were all for cash. ‘the claimant had been in business in South America, and acquired in the prosecution of his business a fortune, which he bad brought to this country to. invest in busi- ness here.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 14, 1859. Match Between the North and South of England Players with Five Philadelphians on Each Side Given—Fine Dis- | Tue Aprpcast a of the Eleven English Players by the Philadelphians—heir Departure for Hamition, 0. W., de. ‘This morning (Friday) the match between five player; of the South of England against five of tho North of England, with six cricketers on each sido belonging to the Philadelphia club, commenced at 12:26 P.M. The match was for the benefit of the eleven professionals, but having, unfortunately, left the entire management in the bands of the Philadelphia Committee of Management, that body had entirely neglected giving publicity to the affair, and consequently the public were in entire ignorance of such @ match having been entered into, and in conse- quence very few persons were present. ‘We have below alluded tothe very unhandsome treat- ment that the English players have received in this city from the gentlemen who profess to have the management of the match, among whom Messrs. Jones, W. R. Wister, W. Newhall and others are the most prominent, and from our own knowledge we know thatshould the English Eleven ever again visit the United States, Philadelphia would be the last place they would accept an invitation from. In consequence of ne absence of Parr, from the cause we have before mentioned, it was necessary to equalize the numbers in this match, and Julius Cesar was ap- pointed to act as umpire. This was asource of double disappointment to many of the cricketing visiters, who were desirous of witnessing the performance of both Cwsar and Parr, two of the very best batemen of the eleven. The two sides were composed ag under:— Newbal, “7, carpenter 1. Walter Newball, . penter, 2. Kuhn, 8. Grundy, 3. Henry, 9. Jackson, 4. Collis, 10, Diver, 5. Barlow, i. Barclay. 6.

Johnson, At the time above mentioned, the South, having won the toss, sent Caffyn and Lillywhite to the wickets, to the Dowling of Jackson and Grundy, the latter deliver the first over to the batting of n. Diver took the cele- brated Lockyer’s position of wicket keeper, Newhall as long stop, Carpenter as point, and as mid wicket on and cover slip alternately; Julius Cwsar and W. 8. Wister acting as umpires for the two sides. Caffyn and Lillywhite both scored rapidly for some time, for although the bowling of Grundy was ‘dead’? on the wicket, yet the former was enabled to score 10 by a three, two 2's, and singles before he was bowled by Grundy; 1 wicket for 16 runs. Lockyer took his place, and after making a single lost bis comrade Lillywhite, who was also bowled by Grundy after scoring 8 by a fine leg hit of Jackson and 5 singles; 2 wickets down for 19 runs. Stephenson next faced Lockyer, and began well by making a capital leg hit for 3 off Grundy, but was caught by Collis at long field off Grundy’s bowling; 8 wickets and 23 runs, Wisden followed and Hayward went on bowling at Jackson's end. — His first ball was driven by Wisden for a single, who also repeated it off Grundy for the same number. Lockyer now made two brilliant leg hils in succession for 8 cach, driving the ball under the boundary ropes; a fine hit to long fleld off proved fa- tal to his carcer, as Jackson there made a splendid catch of the ball, off Hayward’s bowling; 4 wickets and 37 runs. Lockyer’s score of 9 was well made, as was also Wisden’s 10, before being caught by Barclay off Grundy. The re- mainder of the wickets fell rapidly, the only stand made by the Philadelphia players, being by Davis, who made 9, by aleg hit for 8,and two drives for 2 each, with Singles, ‘The total seore of the South was 69. Little delay ensued, before the North sent Jackson and Diver to the wicket, opposed to the bowling of Wisden and Locks who had resigned his usual position of ‘ket keeping to Stephenson. Though a good change round arm bowler, with a fair pace, itis as a wicket keeper that Lockyer shines un- equalled in the cricketing firmament. He managed to send Jackson back to the tent without scoring, he being well caught by Stephens at point of his Bowling; one wicket lost for Sruns. Hayward took his place, but lost his partner Diver, after he bad made 6 by a leg hit for 3 and singles; he was bowled by one of Wisden’s slow underhand tea- sers; 2 wickets and 7 rans. Carpenter joined Hayward, and how commenced the finest display of cricket ever ex- hibited by any of the English playors since their arrival in this country. ‘The bowling was completely “collared,” and in vain did Wisden, Lockyer, Caflynand J. Lillywhite employ all their art and skill to get rid of them Hits, drives, cuts and draws followed each other in rapid suc- cession, and they sent the ba | flying to every part of the | field where there was no one stationed. Carpenter, by a magnificent drive, sent it completely over the palings, far outof the cricket field, It was not until he had_ scored 34 that Carpenter was stumped by Stephenson off Wisden’s | bowling. His number was composed off a 4, three 8’s, five 2’s and singles. Grundy now became vis-a-vis with Hayward, and no cessation of the rapid run getting took place until dinner was announced. After the process of satisfy ving the wants of the inner man had been gone through, Hayward and Grundy re- sumed their positions at the wicket. Foran hour anda half did the former maintain his wicket, showing batting in ite highest perfection, and giving ‘indisputa- ble evidence of becoming the ‘finest batsman in the | world. It was not until he had scored 60—obtained by a | drive for 4 out of the fleld, nine 3’s (all out of bounds), six | 2°s and seventeen singles—that he was caught by that fine | fielder, Stevens, at_ mid wicket, off Lillywhite’s bowling. Grundy had been previously caught out by the same play- | er, off Wisden, after making 14 by his usual steady, good | play. ‘W. Newhall and Barclay were in together, but the | fatter had only made a single when Wisden canght him off Lockyer; 6 wickets down for 120 rms. Barlow joined Newhall, who had made a good leg hit for 3 and_a Single; but now the rain, which for some fime previous had given | warning of its approach, descended so heavily that farther | play was out of the question; and thns terminated the great cricket match at Philadelphia.

W., and his place at Rochester will be supplied by Mr. Raker, of the Montreal Club, The match here has been a most successful one, ina pecuniary point of view, for the Philadelphia clubs, and it is a great pity that the managers could not have extended a Tittle more courtesy towards the English players than they have done. In fact, they have been treated with coolness and neglect after their duties in the cricket fleld were over, and the players themselves remark that the courtesy and generous treatment they received in New York and Montreal contrast most favorably to that expe- rienced here. The Eleven leave here to-morrow for Hamilton, C. W. They will spend Sunday yiewing the Falls of Niagara, and commence playing on Monday at the former place. On Wednesday they mect twenty-two players of Rochester and neighborhood, and when that match is terminated they proceed to Quebec, and thence take their departure for their native country. The Filibusters in New Oricans. {From the New Orleans Delta, Oct. 9.] In our evening edition we spoke of the arrival in town of the fishing party of the Can't-get-away Club (who had been spending some time at the Balize), under charge of United States Marshal Kennedy. uring the day the four mentioned gentlemen, Messrs. Maury, Anderson, Scott and Faysoux, were taken before Commissioner Lusher, and held fo bail in the sum of $3,000 each for their appearance on Monday week. The accused wero cha ged with setting on foot an expedition against Nicara- . The United States District Attorney, Mr. Henry Sitter, showed up the enormity of the offence, and Mr. McKay appeared for the accused. Colonel Anderson said that Nicaragua was his home,and he was a citizen of that country, and would like to have an opportunity of going there, He was certain that Martinez would go his recurity for any amount. Bail was readily furnished. In the meantime, at the barracks, the gentlemen left there by the United States Marshal were having a good time Seager A and made sundry excursions to the neighbor- ing cafés and obtained a titite of the red eye retailed in that section, which is warranted to kill ata much greator igtance than the Ssherman’s pump gun with the hand- spike rammer. As is usual in Such cases, the heads of several became more or less affected, and a quarrel soon after ensued at them, about some trifling difficulty. A general melee is said to have occurred, during which one or two of them received several ugly cufs, and more than one shirt be- came sprinkled with blood. ‘Tho Urited States Marshal hearing of the difenity, be- ame much disturbed in mind, and went up to the Chief of Police's office und asked him if he could spare a fow roso- Jute men to go down to the Barracks. Tho Chief replied that he had no men to spare, considering that there was a company of United States troops on board of tho Enoch ‘Train, lying in the river, doing nothing. The Marshal, however, we learn, did not call there into sorvice again, having, no doubt, an idea that they might create more diMeuity than that then on band. “The party at the Bar- racks finding that none seemed to care much as to what they did or where they went, came offat different times up to the city. Sarin the day the Marshal sent them down some beof in barrels, which they traded off for something more agreeable to their palates, and enid they were done fish- ing ard would’nt need any more bait.
