Gov. WISE LEoTURINe TIE HARPER'i
FERRY1TEs.-Tbe reporter Of The Balti'
more Sun draws the following sketch Of
Gov. Wise at Harper's Ferry clirsa
THE Governor expressed his morti6cs.
ton at the disgrace which had been
brought upon the State. He would rather
have lost both legs and both arms from
his shoulders and hips, than such dis
grace should have been cast upon it. thai
fourteen white men and five negroes
should have captured the Government
works and Harper's Ferry. and have
been able to retain them for one hour.
Col. Lee, with twelve marines. settled
the matter in ten minutes. That nine
teen men should capture one hundred
prisoners was something like the police
man who captured ten men. and said
"Faith. l surrounded them. They shonld
read Shakespeare and study Falstaf'i
osths. A prisoner remarked that there
were ten Of them prisoners. and nine IN
surgents, but that the latter were each
armed with three Sharp's rifles and two,
Colts revolvers. owe were, said he,
"hnddIed in like flock Of sheep" Yes, "
said the Governor. ''you were In cor
ner. and you were very 'mnch like sheep"
They certainly cornered all Harper's

OCTOBER.
BY ALICE CAREY


Not the light Of the long, Blue samnsr,
Nor the aowery hunIrssI, Spring,
Nor the chilly and moaning Winter,
g Doth peace to my bOssn briag,
Like the hAzy and rcd October.
When The woods stand bare aBd brown.
And into the lap Of the south land,
The aoSsrs are blowing down;
Yhea al night iOng, in fhe moonlight,
The bpushs Ofths rOSfrss thafs. e faslo
And de Wind, like wandering poet,
Is singing a moarafal waif;
And all Jay, through the eloud-armieI,
The sunbe4ms coqastiishly rove
For then in my path first unioidsa
The sweet passion flower Of love.
With bosom pale As the ssa-shsl,
And soft a. the AaN unspun,
And locks ike the aui-brown shadows
Ia the light the suHken san,
Came the n1dsn whose wonderful beauty
Enchanted my soul from pain.
And gllidensd my heart, that eau nSVsr,
No, never be happy again.
For away from lifs's pain and passion,
Aud our Eden Of love, she went,
Like pale star fading softly
From the mornings golden tent.
Bu, oft, when the bosom Of Autumn
Il warm with the Summer beams,
We meet in the psllid shadows
That border the land Of dreams.
For, seeing my woe through the splendOr
That hovers about her above,
She puts from her forehead the glory.
And listens again to my love.

% UNITING FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL Con
TEsT.-One of the ablest of the Southern
Oppositin iournals-the Savannah Re-
publican-uses the following sensible and
forcible language in regard to the next
Presidential election: 800
$50 far as we are concerned, our posi-
ton in reference to the next Presidential
election is simply this We think that
the Democratic party, after full and
satisfactory trial, has abused every trust
that has been committed to its hands
has got the country into trouble and kept
it there has been the grand mover in ar
raying one section against another and
has forfeited all claim to the respect and
confidence of the people. We believe the
overthrow Of snch a party the highest
duty owed by the freemen of this country
to their government and the cause Of con-
stitutional liberty" aAi
ITO that end we are willing to cast
our vote for any sound, patriotic states
men for President and Vice President. OF
whatever name, whose past history affords
a guaranty of reform, and especially Of
opposition to all the destructive elements
that are now seeking to undermine che
government and bring the Constitution
into contempt. In this noble object, we
shall gladly unite with Wings, Demo
Gratis, Republicans. and men Of every
name, who. irrespective of past associa-
tions, are willing to come forward and
rescue the country from impending dan
gers. We shall objectto the cooperation
of no man, SO we are sure of electing
those upon whom the country may rely
with an assurance of an honest. efficient
and faithful administration Of its affairs. "

know who may be the candidates before the
Legislature But let US suppose case or
two. Suppose that there should be no
other names-wkich is not unlikely-from
which to choose than Senator PUGH and
Gov. CHASE, and suppose that from our
county we had man pledged 10 vote
against Chase. Do We not see that we
might as well send a Democrat OF once!
But on the contrary, siippose that one man,

Blondin Crossing Niagara River
with a Sack On his Head.

Yesterday afternoon M. Blondin again
crossed the Niagara on rope and returned,
in presence of more than ten thousand peo-
pie. He started from Whites pleasure
grounds, and first walked down the rope
nearly one hundred feet backwards. He
then returned, took his balancing pole, and
walked to the Canada side. He proposed
10 put on a sack before leaving the Ameri.
can side, but his friends there refused to
permit him to do so. The sack was sent
round to the Canada end of the rope, and
NJ. Blondin put i: over his head and retnrn-
ed with it to the place OF starting. This
sack was made of Indian blankets. with
places cut for his arms. He had no difficulty
in crossing thus blndfo!ded, except that his
balancing pole caught two or three times
in the guy ropes. He laid down upon the
rope In the sack and performed some other
feats. The success of n. Blondin 10 walk
ing this rope seems to be established now
beyond all doubt. Ayouag nan, at present
residing in this city, called upon US this
morning to show letter addressed to III.
Blondin, accepting his invitation to carry
some one acress the Niagara on a rope

oi his gifts and accomplishments as an ad-
vocate. They would say of him. as was
said of ErsEine by the most discerning of
his cotemporariess that he was above oil
things else remarkable fog consumate iudg-
ment and uneyring tact in The management
OF causes. He is at once earnest and self
p0ssed; every faculty is aroused and intent;
there are no mornents Of langnor, weari-
ness. or inatiention; he never makes mis-
take himself, or overlookS one in an op-
pdnsnt; he shows the most praclsed skill.
in the examination and cross-examin a ZION
of witnesses; and by the magnetism of his
name: engages the sympathies of thu Jurv
in cases where the law and the facts forbid
him to win the assent of their understand
ing. Nor need it be said to any member Of
the bar that no man can be the great ad-
vocate that Mr.. Choate is. without being
also good lawyer. Indeed, his powers are
never to greater advantage than in the un-
premeditated discussion Of the law points
that accidentally arise in trial at nisi
priuS. The neatness of his statement, the
grace and accuracy of his language, his
ample command Of legal illustrations. and
his persuasive rhetoric, always command the
admiration of his hearers, and for the mo-
nent half win assent even to propositions
which. SO soon as the voice of the charmer
is silent, are perceived to be untenable-
Mr.. Choate's devotion to his profession is
shown by The fact that the ardor with which
he engages in case is wholly irrespective
o. the amount involved in the issue. TIE
simple relation oi counsel and client is
enough to command all his powers, all his
attainments, and all his accomplishments.
In hearing before Commissioner, M1st-
er in Chancery or a Referee, with half
dozen persons around him, he is quite as
likely to make an eloquent and impassioned
harangue as in an exciting jury trial, with
a court house ,hronged with spectators, who
have been attracted by the hope of Listening
to him. Nor should we, in summing up his
professional merits, fail to enumerate the
high toned decorum and propriety of his
bearing toward the bench, and his uniform
courtesy toward his brethren of the bar.

Mr.. Corwin's Speech, at Xenia, last
Night.

tSpeciai Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazst,e.l
XENIA, July l5-lo P. II.
Gov. Corwin addressed large mass meet
ing this evening in the Cour. House Square
He said that he desired to settle his rela.
tions to his constituents, and to correct
misrepresentations as to his having disavow.
ed any connection with the Republican par.
ty; he had always acted with that party
riuve it's vrgani.a,;ou, nud ho wao euro his
views on the subject of Slavery were those
of nineteen twentieths Of its members. He
only differed from that small number who
believed that any Fugitive Slave law was
unconstitutional. He believed, with every
Republican, thst it was the duty of Con.
gress TO prohibit slavery in the Territories
IF he had ever declared that he was c mem.
Der of no party. it was with reference to
gu estions on which the Republican party
had taken no very distinct position on mat
tiers of finance, political economay, and the
like. So long as there was question OF
slavery or no slavery, he was with the Re-
publicans. He didn't like the fugitive
slave law-wouldn't have voted for it but it
was law-had been sustained by all the
courts and must be obeyed until repealed;
if odious repeal it. Until that was done its
penalties must be enforced by the proper
authorities. He would respect a conscien.
tious violation of it, but the Courts could
not. The Sheriff could not stop and ask
the man who he was about to hang, wheth-
er he was constitutfonaly opposed to hang
ing. He ridiculed Squatter Sovereignty;
showed how all the practice of the republic
was against it, and hoped that the Repub.
lcsn party, with which he had great pleasure
in acting, would not let this heresy creep
into it's church. If they failed entirely pre-
venting the extension of slavery, it would
only be because the majority of the North
were too dishonest to vote tight. In the
conclusion Of his speech he opposed fill
husterism snd governmental extravaganza.
His remarks were very favorable received.
