Having concluded to postpone another attack until! morning, guards were posted around the Armory, and every precaution taken to prevent escape. Our troops by this time required some refreshmeat, having been on active duty and exposed to a heavg fall of rain all day. A little after night we were reinforced by Colovel L.

About twelve o'clock Colonel Lee arrived, having under his command eighty-five marines from Washington.

How- ever this may be, it seems to us that this in- vasion of seventcen men should have caused so much alarm, 80 much confusion and noise. It is no wonder the Virginians try to make the most of it. They feel ashamed of the facts, and every one is aympathising with them ‘There was tull enough of tho matter, and I think we shan’t have any more of it, or anything like it. There is something in the matter which capuot be got over, in the fact that seventeen men held two thousan’ le prison- ere for twe ys.

Mr Peters, pastor of the Universalist church in Williamsburg, discoursed yos- terday morning on the “‘Irrepressible Conflict.” ‘The usual preliminary devotional exercises having been en- gaged im, tho reverend gentleman selected the 34th verse of the 10th chapter of Matthew as his toxt, which reads thus: “‘ Think not that I am come to send poace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” In his introduc- tory remarks he sajd that the text embodied the wisdom of prophecy, and that the strife which had grown out of tbe introduction of Christianity into the world was not occasioned by Christ, but it was the inevitable reault that grew out of what he might call (to use a phrase that had become execedingly popular) “the irrepressible conflict”? between right and wrong, between justice and injustice, between the perversities and wickedness of men and those broad and catholic principles of humanity, of love, of justice, and of equality which Josus taught, ‘The speaker then proceeded to speak of the late insurreo- tion in Virginia, prefacing bis remarks by some vory eensible and considerate observations on the question of slavery. Ho said that slavery bad become, by a train of circumstances, which no singie individual had been able to avert, one of the most vital moral questions of the nineteenth century. No matter what its political bearings might bave become, it could by no process of casulstry be changed ino a mere political question and divested of its grave moral, or perbaps he should have said, its immoral, bearings. Since piracy had been suppressed by the combined nations of the civilized world, ho was compelled to admit that thore was no other evil in existence at the present time that conld at all compare with that of slavery. While, however, he regarded slavery as one of the great- est meral evils of the present age, be was disposed to ex- ercise toward slave owners and toward those who bad grown up under the institution of slavery a great deal of charity. There were no doubt many brutal slave owners, with whose coarse natures and brutal instincts the system aptly necorded, but it shoult be borne in mind that that was not universal or even providential. We should seck to secu by nesosable measures, its gradual emancipa- tion, Forcible means might be’ employed if the whole foree of the government were enksted to suppress all dis- cussions of tho subject, and the sabjects of foreign oppres- give goverpments should rise up and seek to throw off the yoke, for there they were prevented from discussing the matter, but in a government like ours, where the pul- pit and the press were free, and where discussion upon the Subject was not, and, he rejoiced to believe, covld not be, wholly suppressed, such an atvempt as that which recent- ly occurred at Harper’s Ferry was in the highest sense treasovable and reprehersibie, He said treasonable and reprehensible because an act might be treasonable and yet justifiable, act of George Washington and his confederates was treason—it wa3 rebellion. Washington with all his patriots was a rebel, but he was arebel in a juet and glorious cause. The Kansas troubles, a few years Sinee, had led more or less to the recent insurrection in Virginia, He thought the slave owncrs and the slave States were guilty of a great deal of blustering about their strength and the dissolution of the Union, but after all they were in a very uvenviable situation, and were to be pitied rather than despised. Thousands of themselves did not realize their condition. They were weak and im. decile, and the reason why a handful of men could put the whole South into commotion was very plain, and ex- isted ip all the governments of the world where slavery had been sustained as an institution of the government. Tho situation of the South was a condition in which all nations had bronght themselves who burdened themsolves with slave property, and they were anxious ty provent all dis- cussion of slavery in their midst, and to check the efforts of those who sympathised with the poor and the op- preseed. The recent insurrection gave the clearest proof that that assertion was true. We should not cease to dis- cuss the question, but it should be done in a calm and temperate spirit.’ The late outbreak at Harper's Ferry had shown more clearly than anything elae that the in stivution of slavery was like a honse with the cellar con- verted into a powder magazine, whose occupant was cou- stantly fearful that spark might get down on the pow- der. “All candid and truth-loving men should desire not to kindle that powder and blow up the magazine. For the sake of the slaves, for the sake of their mastors, for the suke of justice, of the country, of the purity of our institutions, we should seck in a quiet and harmicss way, ina reasonabie mavner, to re ally thet has been put’ in the free the slaves from oppression and their masters from the greatest evil with which they are afflicted. *Tt would not be right to steal into the cel Jar, apply the match, and blow him and yourself up,” said the speaker, and thus follow tho example of Ossava- tomie Brown; wor would it be kind or considerate to put a slow match to the building. Your neighbor, continued Mr. Peters, may be a reasonab’e man, and as he grows older his own opportunities of experience will enlarge his know- Jedge and will put him into ave Yo and kindly with him, plead with nS & brother, and thus in time you may geb ant to remove the powder, go that by that means youcan save him, yourself and the powder too. Ho Suppored there wasno man who was loyal in spirit, who loved his country and his country’s peace, who did uot regret the strife aud contention which slavery had occa- sioned in the history of our country, and who did not re- gretevery effort such as that at Harper's Ferry. Ho asked who was to blame for stich occurrences? ‘They it regret the madness of fanatics and they might cry against agitation; they might depend upon it, however 1 ull might regret it, fanatics would run to madnoss, and agitation would not and could not cease unti! injustice, which was irherent in the nature of slavery, was abol- ished. ‘Temperate men may desire to keep down agitation, but it could never be — eifuctually stopped. Oil and water cannot be united and they could not have tree aud slave institutions side by side in the ime government where free speech prevailed, without discussion. Slavery was an anomaly, and tho principle of freedom and slavery was antagonistic. God had plant- ed it in the very nature of things, just as he had made an antagonism between powder and fire, between oil and water. Ii blame attached to anybody it was to God. Christ in the text spoke of this conflict, ond slavery or freedom would eventually be triumphant. Thoy might by being temperate and doing their work in @ peaceable and quiet way prevent outbreaks, but the conflict could not be allayed untilslavery was co weakened that it would becoms quict or be entirely remo ‘They must not give up free discussion on the subject, nor must they agree to be silent, but the confiic should be waged in the spirit of Jesus. His method was that of peaco and love, not ef fanaticism and madness, THE PEOPLE'S MEETING AT UNION HALL. Yesterday afternoon one of the back rooms of Union Hall was crowded with a very heterogeneous audience, ir- Teepective of party, for the purpose, previously advertised, of discussing slave insurrections, with a special reference to the Harper's Ferry case. There was 9 gentleman in the chair whose name no one seemed to know, and also @ Secretary, name unknown. When the room had become well filled, a young man arose on the platform und addressed the moeting. Ho took the democratic view of the subject, and among many things always argued on Unis subject, eaid that no people, biack or white, should be free until they were capable of attempling their own frecdom, and of enjoying it after being gained. After this gentleman had taken his seat, a still youngor gentleman took the floor. He took to other side of the oo, and was in favor of insurrections, revolutions, loodahed generally. After him another gentleman took the floor, middle aged (and colored); he, of course, took the samé sido as the young guntleman, aod although ho expressed no ro- tmarkable idea, spoke very grammatically and sensibly. After him # gentleman’ of strong abolitionist princi- pice spoke, and went through the ordinary arguments, quoting eeveral ideas from Joshua R. Giddings. And again after him another on the samo sido of the argument. He, however, oceupied the audience chioly with arguments based on the subject of amalgamation, Other speakers followed, till the room became too dark for further eflorts, and the meeting adjourned. Coroners’ Inquests. Fata, Falt—Venpict or Céxsvre.—The inquest in the cage of Thomas Tucker,@ native of England, aged sixty- two years, who died at Bellevue Hospital on Friday night, from the effects of a fall, was held by Coroner Schirmer yesterday.

The result has been obtained that the treopa genrally have shown a decided improvement im general appearance and disci- pline, and that a wholesome eprit dw corps still exists. The chief evil now existing, and which is appa rent to even the least intelligent soldier, in tho ranks, is the total want of military and tactical knowledge on the part of the general officers—wuh perhaps but one honorable exception. It is the intention, however, of a large number of the influential line and field officers to apply to the next Legislature for important amendments to the military laws, so as to effect the retirement of the aged, infirm ‘and incapable officers.
