The Wine Crop of France, [Paris (Oct. 3) correspondence of the London Newsy 1 have been favored with the sight of a commercial let- ter from the south of Frauce, which gives the following account of the vintage:— Nearly three-quarters of the wine crop is now got in, and although the greater part of the new wine is yet in the must, we are in a position to form a tolerably accu- Fate estimate of the new vintage, both as to quarmity and quality. In the carly spring great hopes were enter- tained of an extraordivary year. The quantity of fruit was at least as great as fu 1858. But the white frosts in the spring, oidium in somo p’ more thun all, a few intensely hot days days in July which ried up a very considerable quantity of grapes, ro- duced the crop to less than half an average one. On the other hand, the quality of the new wines is (ar superior to anything we have scen of late years, and will,vie with that of 1847. The red wines will have ‘much body, strength and color. The white wines also promise well, but they are more backward than the others, and therefore we are not able to speak with equa! confidence about them. The wines of 1858 (the current yanr) were so eagerly bought Tp prices have been rising for some time past. crops of many. vinoyards were purchased on the ground by anticipation. At the present moment the new |* wines are selling for three or four times the price which bs tae Seen in ber last year, and we doubt whether the‘upward movement has yet seen its highest, for, in consequence of the excellent jjuality of the wines, scarcely any are sold for distilling. Opening of the Cpera in Paris. [Paris (Oct. 2) Correspondence of London Post.) ‘The Italian Opera opened for the ¢eagon last night with Verdi's “ Traviata.” Madame Venco was the Violetta; Gardoni, Alfredo; and Graziani, Germond: the remaining characters were bly filled by the ordinary work- ing artistes of the company. Madame Penco was greeted most warmly on her appearance before a crowded ‘gudience, and Gardoni was received with encouraging salutations. Graziani, whom we may now cal! an “ old fa- Vorite,”’ was @iso heartiiy congratulated on his appearance. Penco’s reading of ** La Traviata’ was precisely ‘a repitition of her lust year’s performance. She contrives to make it as little painful as possible.

Dar Frrexp—I forgot to say yesterday that your ship- ments of freight are received ail in apparent safety; but the bills are very high, and I begin to be apprehensive of getting into a light spot for wantof a little more funds, notwithstanding my anxiety to make my money hold out. As it will cost no more expense for you to solicit for me a little more assistance while attending to your other business, say two or three hundred dollars in New York—drafts payable to the order of J. Smith & Sons. Will you not sound my Eastern or West- ern friends in regard to it. It was impossible for me to foresee the exact amount I should be obliged to pay out for everything. Now that arrangements are so nearly completed, I begin to feel almost certain that 1 can squeeze | through with that amount. All my accounts are squared. up to the present time; but howIcan keep my little wheels in motion for afew days more {am beginning to feel at a loss. It is terribly humiliating to me to begin soliciting of friends aguin; but as the harvest opens be- fore me with increasing encouragements, I may not allow a feeling of delicacy to deter me from asking the little further aid I expect to need. What I must have to carry, me through I shall need within a very fow days, if 1 am obliged to call direct for further help} so you will please expect something quite definite very soon. I have endeavored to cconomise in every possible way; and I will not asks for a dollar until I am driven to I have a trifle over $160 on hand, but am afraid I cavnot possibly make it reach. Iam highly gratilied with all our arrangements up to the present time, and feel cer- tain that no time has yet been lost. One freight is princi- pally here, but will have to go a little further. Our hands, so far, are coming forward promptly, and better than 1 expected, as we have called on them. We have to move with all caution. SUBSCRIPTIONS OF STOCK—F.,’? OF CONCORD, GIVES $50.

Harpsn’s Fexry, Va., Oct. 22, 1859, Stephens not Expected to Live—Uhe Outbreak only the First Act in the Conspiracy—Kagi’s Memoranda—Who and Where is Merriam?—Suspected Crinoline—Facts About the Trials—More Documents and Poetry—A Negress Ar- rested and Examined, dic. A. C. Stephens, who was talsen with “ Old Man Brown” and conveyed to Charlestown jail dangerously wounded, is not likely to live this day out. He was much worse last evening and supposed to be dying, and the physician was summoned in great haste. In the morning he was more comfortable, but rapidly failing. ‘The feeling that the attack upon Harper's Ferry was the first of a widespread conspiracy is gaining ground here. Circumstances have transpired tending to show that this movement was by no means isolated—that attacks were expected to have been made simultaneously at nu- merous other points. There is even a suspicion, how well founded it is impossible to tell, that the recent outrages at Brownsville, Texas, were instigated at least by the abolitionists. The following memoranda were found yesterday, writ- ten upon ivory tablets, in the pockets of Kagi, who was shot in the Shenandoah river on the retreat from the rile factory :— Mowpay —Mr. Merriam eame—went down with me to M [Last word illegible. } Tousbay.—-Dimas returned to Mrs. Ritner's, and appointed meeting for Thursday eve. 16 about purchases.

G. Merriam, Massachusetts,’ and took dinner. He then procured pa- per and wrote a large number of letters, taking peculiar pains to prevent any one from seeing what he hat written. It is supposed that he took some part in the doings of Sunday night, and escaped in company th pok and bis party. His tace was very peculiv marked with blotches, and a man answering his descrip tly is known to have registered the name of “J. at Chambersburg. It is conjectured that this ad charge of the procuring of the supplies of arms, ammunition, &c., for the “provisional army.” Last evening Mr. Wm. McDaniel, who resides about three-quarters of a mile above the village, on the bank ot vine # woman’s dress, hoop skirt, bonnet and shawl, which be found rolled in a bundle, The dress had evi- dently been torn off in great haste, and there was a large spot of blood on the skirt. It is supposed to haye boen used asa disguise by the insurgents or some of their spies. A very tall woman had been noticed in the early evening passing through the upper part of the villago, and walking rapidly. The examination trial, preyious to indictment, of Brown and his fellow prisoners will commence on Tacsday, and if a separate triul be granted to each, as will probably bo the case if applied for, the indictment will not be ended before the close of the week. It is stated that the pri- souers are assured of having every possible legal advan- tage, and the bost counsel in the commonwealth assigned for thair defence in case they do not obtain counsel from the North. Old Brown has written letters to several em- nent legal gentlemen at the North, among others to Gov. Chase, of Ohio. Each of the prisoners will probably be tried separately, and on the trial of the negroes the testi- mony of negro witnesges will be received. Gov. Wise says these men must haye a perfectly fair trial, for the sake of the honor of Old Virginin. Si counsel come from the North to defend the prisoners they will be treated with courtesy and respect, unless they attempt to ring in views on the subject of slavery such as are never tole- rated in thig latitude. The empaunelliug of a jury for the final trial will probably occupy a week, 80 that the finn) trial will not fairly be begun Mm less than a fortaight. A large bundie of letters, addressed to Charles P. Tidd, one of the dead fillibusters, was found in a wank at the house of Captain Covk’s mother-in-law. Among them were several from his mother, who, it appears, lives with asecond husband ator near Springdale, Iowa, breathing the most tender and affectionate spirit, and praying Hea- yen to bless and protect r whi, Charies,” through all the dangers w abont to pass, and begging him if he escaped unharmed tw return at ‘ones tobishome. Allthe letters are written in the Quaker style of “theeing and thouii ee a deeply religious tone. Pp enterprise in which le is eugaged i exhort him to Jead a life of piety. Many of tho letter: ina feminine band. One signed “Emlon,” very prettily written and dated “8th month, 11th, 1859,” contains this sentence:—‘‘Press nobly on, for by your instrumentality millions may have the pleasure of singing tho cong of li- rty, “Anna”? writes, under date of “7th month, 22d, 1869," as follows:— MyDrar Frizxp—Aa the Umesecms drawing very near that Wwe must part, perhaps never again to meet on thes mundane shores, and finding I have many things to say tw thee, [ have concluded to let_ my pen follow, for a i, Th: thoughts. * * * I believe that. motives are purely hd.

It seems she went to sce her mother, somewhere in Hillsboro’ county, before the out- break, and staid last night in Loudon county, where she told a white woman that she bad seen the negro Spears several times at Cook's house, was well acquainted with Cook, who owned a rifle that would fire twenty shots, and had heard him say that if he could get his wife and child to New York, he would turn t’s Ferry upside down, She acknowledged at the e: ination having told the woman these things, but said they were all lies. She was let off easy. Hanrer’s Ferny, Oct. 23, Va., 1859. ‘The people of this village were thrown into considerable excitement this pleasant Sabbath morning, by the arrival of two horsemen from Maryland, who were escorted across the bridge by Capt. Isaac Boteler, a planter resid- ing on the Maryland side, about eight or nine miles from here. They proved to be Capt. Charles Campbell aad Lieut. M. W. Hanser, of Chambersburg, Pa., who arrived with intelligence of the capture of a man, supposed to be Capt. Cook, at Carlisle, Pa, They had pursued the man from the house occupied by Cook’s wife, at Chambers- burg, whore he left a blanket anda revolving pistol, being hard pressed. The blanket was marked “A. HL,” and the man said his name was A. Huzlitt. Campboll and Hanser followed the fugitive from Chambersburg all the way up the Cumberland valley, and finally overtook him in Carlisle. Some railroad men first went up to arrest him, but be threatened them with a revolver, and they left; when Mr. Hanser came up behind, clapped him on the back, and said, “Js your name Cook?” “No,” was the reply. You are my prisoner,’ said Hanser. The man instantly thrust his hand into his pocket, as if to draw a pistol, but at this instant Cuptain Campbell came up and seized him by the arms. The man answers to the description of Captain Cook very closely, but the wife of Cook ae she does not know him. The Chambersburg men represent the feeling in Chambersburg, and all that region as being one of entire and almost unanimous repro- bation of the conduet of these insurgents. Men were out in all directions searching for Cook. They say that a number of people, both white and black, in and around Chambersburg, are clearly implicated in the movement, and are urgent to have the general government order their arrest Some of the abolitionists who had not been let into the geeret of this outrage are now among the loud- est heard in denunciation. ‘The Chambersburg men, in company with Mr. Price, the mail agent, immediately proceeded to Charlestown by private conveyance, and had an interview with the pri- saners there confined. Old Brown refused to hold any communication with them, but asked Mr. Price to call on the paymaster of the armory on his return, and ask him to send the $400 in his hands belonging to him (Brown), Stating that be wanted tosend money to his wife, and procure comforts, &e., for If and men in prison. Stephens, who was not expected to live GE bape was much easier, but not able to converse. others were somewhat more communicative. They said Hazlitt was certainly killed in the fight here and thrown off the Poto- mac bridge, as hus once been reported, and that Hazlitt was four inches taller than Cook. Coppee says he had a brother in the fight, an older man than himseif, but what became of him he did not know. The men readily recog- nized the two negroes, who had frequently been seen ab Chambersburg, but Coppee was a stranger to them. A communication will be sent from here by the 1:20 A. M. train to-morrow morning, to Governor Wise, for a re- quisition on the Governor of Pennsylvania to bring the Prisoner to Charlestown. He is now confined in Carlisle jail. 9 urgent request came from the Maryland side this af- ternoon, asking for arms for a patrol about to be raised there. Companies have been organized to-day at this place, Bolivar, and Camp Hill. Special despatches have been sent to Washington as well as to Governor Wise. ‘There are abundance of armed mon here, and no reason to fear as to the result of any demonstration from the friends of the miscreants, should one be attempted. It is reported that there has been a large gathering of abolttionists in and around Chambersburg, and that Fred. Donglass, the black abolititionist, has been among them. ‘Among the papers in Stephen’s portemonnae, given by him to the landlord of the Wager House, was the follow- ing swhich it is sapposed was intended to serve as a sort of voucher ior his soundness on the “goose question” in case of his arrest iv a viave State:— of the resolution adopted by the citizens of Tabor, hat hile we eympathise with the oppressed and will do we conscientionsiy exn to help them in thelr efloris for freedom, wevertheleas we have no sympathy with thoes who go to sinve States to entice away slaves andtake pro- perty or life when necessary to attain that end, J 8. SMITH, Secretary of sald meeting. Tanon, Feb. 8, 1859. When Stephens was brought into the hotel wounded, he professed to be sorry for the mischief he had done, and when reproached by’ the landlord's sister, he asked her to forgive him. ‘his lady—~Miss Christine Fouke— deserves great credit for the coolness and courage she displayed throughout the affair. She brought in the body of Mr. Beckham, which had been left lying for some ee eae ee yrasecn me Link ot | hours on the plaviorm, exposed to the guerillas? guns, and ele exerted hersel to the utinost to protect the prisoners in the hotel, who were threatenod by the infuriated eiti- zens after the murder of Beckham. GOY. WIISE’S RETURN FROM HARPER'S FER- RY—HIS SPEECH IN RICHMOND. (From the Richmond Whig, Oct. 22.] Henry A. Wise returned from Harper’s Ferry yes- n the two o'clock train from Acquéa creek, ‘and at ihe depoton Proad strcet by Company Cary, and a large concourse of citizens. He was condueted to a carriage, and thus escorted to the Gover- the cortege eneral rus hors grounds.

Presently the Governor and his escort eniered, and room being made for them, tho Governor alighted (vom the carriage, entered his dwelling, and exchanged brief grectings with members of his fa mily.

OUR CHARLESTOWN DESPATCH. Cuax.asrown, Oct. 24, 1850, ‘The Circuit Court of Jefferson county met to-day~Hon. Richard Parker, Judge; Charles D, Harding, Common- wealth’s Attorney; Andrew Hunter, Assistant. ‘The Court adjourned carly this morning, such being the ex- citement that no civil cases were ready for trial. ‘The State of Virginia vs. John Brown, Aaron C. Stepheng and Edwin Coppee (white persons), and Shields Groen and John Copland (negroes), committed on chargos of conspiracy to make rebellion, insurrection and open war against the Commonwealth of Virginia, and also for tho murder of F. Beckham, G. W. Turner, Thomas Boerloy Luke Quinn, marine, and Heyward Sheppard, negro. The following Justices of the Peace have been summoned) by the Sheriff to hold the examination trial to-morrow of the above prisoners:—Braxton Davenport Presiding Justice, George W. Richelberger, John W. McCurdy, William F. Alexander, John J. Locke, G. F. Mason and Thomas H. Willis. The law requires that the decision of the Justices of the examining Court, who may number from five to sixteen, must be unanimous. The prisoners will be ex- amined together, and it is supposed that the examination trial will be concluded by two o'clock to-morrow, te which time the Grand Jury have been adjourned by the Court. The Grand Jury will then take up the case imme- diately, and the indictments, which are already pro- pared, will probably be presented to the Court on Wednesday morning, when the trial .of the prisoners will commence before the Court and jury. Should they be found guilty, and sentence of death be pronounced upon them, tho Judge, under the laws of this State, fixes the day of ‘execution independent of the Governor. The usual delay of thirty days after sentence is excepted in cases of insurrection and rebellion, and the prisoners, if convicted of the same, may be hung imme- diately, cither within or without the jail yard. Judge Parker, to-day, ordered the three hundred and five dollars taken from Brown w be returned tohim. The Judge algo stated that all their personal property, includ- ing Sharp’s rifles and other arms, would belong to the heirs of the prisoners should they be capitally convicted. A fellow named James Lynch, alias William J. Stobargh, ‘supposed to be one of the filibusters, was brought in a prisoner to-day and lodged in jail. He was capturea some days ago by M. E. Price, mail agent on the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad cars, ata place called Sir John's Run, and kept in a room till to-day. The fellow is quite undersized, ofa simple and foolish appearance, and had been several weeks loitering about this ana the adjoining counties, begging and borrowing money. He registorod himself here some days before the outbreak as Stoburgia Louisa, Lawrence county, Kentucky. On Friday night, the 14th, be called Mr. Barbour, Superintendent of the Armory at Harper's Ferry, out of his house, insisting upon a private interview on the lawn, which was refused. Thea he asked the loan of a dollar, and left. Since his arrest, he has suid if Barbour had granted an interview he would have revealed the whole plot. Both at Harper's Ferry and here an excited crowd followed the prisoner, as he passed manacled through the strects in the charge of oflicers. His commitment on suspicion of aiding and abetting John Brown & Co. was ed by Justice Eichei- berger. The prisoner Stephens considered out of im- mediate danger from his wounds, and the others are in good condition. The excitement in town is increasing ag the time far trial approaches. Tho town is guarded by a very large body of military, under the command of Col, Davis, which, was reinforced to-day by men from Shep- herdstown. Colonel Davis arrievd in town from Richmond a and took command to-day of all the troops. He is a staf! officer of Governor Wise. Senator Mason, Mr. Faulkuer and other prominent Virginians are here. It is understood that, if ordered todo so by the court, Mr. Robert Y. Conrad will defend the prisoners, but no one has yet been appointed. Col. Martin, United States Mar- shal of the Western District of Virginia, is also hore. It is expected that the requisition of Goy. Wise for the priso- ner in Carlisle jail,jwill reach there in time to enablo him to be committed to the jail of this county on Thursday night. OUR HARPER'S FERRY DESPATCH. Harper’s Furry, Oct. 24, 1859. Still further discoveries as to those implicated in the outbreak have been made, which seem to produce much excitement here and at Charlestown. The nature of the discoveries has not transpired. There were last night numerous alarms aud great hurrying toand fro. Arme from the armory were dealt out to every citizen, and guards were despatched with the trains. The workmon in the armory, who had resumed work, are all again idle to-day. DESPATCH FROM WASHINGTON. ‘Wasntraton, Oct. 24, 1859. Anumber of the papere brought from the insurgents? camp at Harper’s Ferry, and in tho possession of the government, will be published in the Constitution to- morrow. Some of them are signed John Smith, in the handwriting of one of the sons of Ossawatamie Brown, nad endorsed in that of the latter. The documents show that the conspiracy exteoded throughout a portion of New York, Ohio and Now England, and in some.towns in Pennsylvania. One letter says:—Our hands, so far, are coming forward probably better than I expected, as wo have called on them. The papers give the number of pickaxes, shovels and articles of personal comfort, to- gether with the bill for the same, while others ask for money, &. F. B. 8., of Concord, N. H., subscribes $56. ‘There is & letter of the date of October 1, in which the writer states that ho was in Ashtabula county and met with some success. “Our old friend, J. R. G.,” ho says, “took stock to the amount of three hundred dollars.”” FORTHCOMING EXPOSE OF HON. J. R. GED- ‘ DINGS. PHILADELPRIA, Oct. 24, 1869. Hon. Joshua R.
