At the date si by last letter the newsßX, of the negro
insurrection at Harper'. Ferry had just reached us,
and I gave yogi what was thee my impression, that
the accounts we had received were grossly exagge-
rated. and that a good many of the details were pro-
bably manures:tared to influence the approaching
election. We now know all about it, and though at
appears to have been a boot fide insurrection, I was

em the author of • mueical composition having the sole
i
right to the representation thereof ; but t appeared to him
that Mr. Kean was the author and &diner of the entire
dramatic compoeition, and that with respect to • part of that
entirety and scomeory to the plan which he had formed—a
small part considering the Ipliktillfy of capital and skill that
was embarked in the composition of the entirety—he em-
ployed the plaintiff, on the terms that the production
of the plaintiff under Mr. Kean should be pan
of the composition that Mr. Kean should have
the sole right over that dramatic composition, together with
the mule which the plaintiff had eo composed. To Lis mind
the music seemed to have been composed under the direction
and supertatiodeao• of Mr. Kean. and that the music so
composed as between him and the plaintiff became the pro-
perty of Mr. Kean by the contract. He could not but per.
ceive if the plaintiff was right in his contention, that
there might be immense preparation made for producing •
particular repneentation, and then any party connected with
tie production might withdraw hie particular aouessory to it,
son thus render impossible the representation for which to
much had been expended.
Judgment for the defendant.
