Some Of our Divisions still keep at work,

the good which has been done, must not be

Of influence in community, to the practice Of
drinking to excess, instead of disgusting

The Harper's Ferry Affair.

We publish below, copious extracts
from the Baltimore papers, relative to some
startling occurrences at Harper's Ferry. wei
also give amongst other things, a most re-
markable document, being the anonymous
communication which was made to Secretary
Floyd, in August last, by some person who
was intimately, and accurately acquainted
with the whole plot, and every thing and per-
son connected with it.
The mystery that attached to Che affair IS
not yet entirely dispelled. 1t appears that
not more than twenty-five persons were en-
gagged in the mad scheme of seiZing upon the
United States arsenal and armories, with the
hope of exciting a seryile Instruction IN the
midst of a population in which the whites
greatly outnumber the blacks. The leader OF
this band of desperadoes acquired notoriety as
the Captain Of a daring company Of fanat1ca
free-State outlaws during the Kansas troubles
