THE HARPER,S FERRY INsnnprrr1nN

IIi1 hfAhr EN- . FERRY RESURRECTION.
we gather from the Chambersburg papers some
interesting facts connected with cold Browns, op-
erations there. He was first seen in Chambersburo
last July, accompanied by two men whom he called
his son and man named Henre, who was killed at
Harpers Ferry, and there bore the title of Captain
Kagi. The VALLEY Spirit says:
Mrs Cook, wife of Col. John f. Cook, gave the
information that this mans name was John Hen,io
kagi, and that he had been one of Browns men in
Kansas. Large quantities of arms and munitions
OF war were received at our warehouses, from time
10 Time, upon which Brown paid the freight, which
IN some instances amounted to seventy dollars
some OF the boxes containing Sharp's rifles came
through from Kansas, and other freight from
Connecticut The lance handles were shipped
from that State. Henrie remained here pretty
much all the time experimenting affairs Brown
was here frequently staying a few davs at
Tune, or merel passing through to Harris
burg, or other points. While here he transacted
business through our Bank having had several
drafts cashed on New York He was here at the
time Fred Douglas lectured and was in the Hall
that night with Henre and several others of the
party Our citizens had little idea how strongly
freu freu douglas was backed up that OCCASION.
Brown had no doubt interview with Donolas of
the time, and the object of Douglas visit to the
place is now fully explained. Henrie was with
Douglas at the house of the colored man at which
douglas stopped. When Douglas left he uave ont
that he would return in October, about the time the
outbreak took place.
The last time Brown was known to have been in
this place was on the 18th Of October when he
brought the wife of Col John f. Cook here and
left her at private boarding house. The man
Henrle (kagi) was the last of the gang known TO
have been here. He left for Harper's Ferry on
FRIDAY the l4th just in time to meet his Just doom
Brown or Henrie do not seem to have made the ac-
qualntance of any of our white citizens while
among us, though it is known they were intimate
with some of our negroes.
The whole number of white men engaged in the
npt Il, IL
different times during the summer. Nine white
men ana TWO negroes can be identified as having
been here-Brown and his two sons, Henrie. Lee,
man, Ildd, Merriam, Taylor and Coppee. were well
known by name in the neighborhood where they
boarded. Other strangers of whose appearance we
nave luIl description, also seen in thnr com
pany. The negro called emperor Of New York,
taken prisoner-is said to be the black man who
was upon the stage with Douglas the night he lee
tured IN this place. He did not 90 back with
Douglas, and was not in this place afterwards
1t is not known whether Cook ever visited this
place previous to the insurrection. There is n ru
NOR ailoat that he was here sometime AGO and
stopped at the house Of colored man. The gene-
raj lmpressonhere is that if Cook ever visited this
place. 1t was very privately and under an assumed
name. 1t cannot be recollected by the persons who
have been observing these men, that any one an
sweriug to the description given of Cook was no.
tlced among them. His wife has been boarding in
this place for the past two weeks. Her mother re-
sides at llarpers Ferry, and is a widow lady bv the
name of Kennedy. Cook married her there about
htteen months ago. They have one child about five
months old which the mother has with her.
Mrs. Cook Is quite young looking, very adv-like
10 her manners and appears to possess consider
able degree of shrewdness She states very frankly
that she has fears of her husband being canturcd
That he was all through the Kansas wars, and was
often pursued while there but was never taken
That he is 'rl acquainted 'cM he roads in his mart

his escape. Mrs. Cook remained here until Mon
day morning last, when she took the early train
