Tho blade is a Kind OF bowie knife, sharpened at
both sides, attached TO q stout socket, which Is
set upon u polo five and a half feet long. The
blade Is ten inches In length, from the
point to the guard, aud two inches in
width at this widest part. IL is two-odped
and pointed, 80 as 10 10 used for thrust
ing aud also cutting, tho edges being sharp.
This khifc, fixed firmly upon pole ana rivoied
on, has murderous look. IL was q contriv snco
adaytcd TO the Use of the slaves, who do not un-
dcrStand how TO manage rifles. The instiga
tors of the plot, who calculated that from three
10 live hundred ,laves would rush To their aid
every night at lIsrpcrs Ferry, had made very
CAREFUL estimate as 20 the most formidable
weapon that could bo placed in the hands OF
tho slaves, whom thoy would have no time to
drill IN tho Use Of firearms. JouN BRowR him
with MIR BLAIR, Il Collhsviilc for tho manu-
facturc Of these blades, the contract also includ-
ing the pohs. MIR. BLAIR employed q workman
at nionyille to mako them. BRowN was hero

the completion Of tho lot-a part Of them having
been previously made. IL was agreed that the
pibss should 10 attached 10 tho poles and made

Subsequently BRowN ordered, by letter, that
they should 10 tirsctod to "J. SMrTu & SoSs,

were so packed, directed and sent. Ono Of these
mounted knives was defective In tho socket, ar 4
