I A dispatch from Baltimors Of the 19t
says Ospt. Browns wounds (ninstsss 1
numbsr) have proved to be not nssessalil
fatal. He expressed desire to livsAhd b
tried BY his country. In bis pockets wsr
found nearly $4,000 in gold, and sewers
importapt papers found in his possession
were taken in charge BY Dol. Lee, and o
bshalf Of the government in Washington
Brown says he rented the farm Of Dr.. Ken
nsdy six months since, and the rent 10 pai'
until next March. He never had over TWEEN
ty.two men at the farm at any one time ths
belonged to the organization, but that b
had good reason to expect reinforcement
from Maryland, Kentucky, North and souti
Csrolins and the Csnadas. He had providei
arms sufficient for I 500 men, including 20t
rsvolvers, 200 sharp's rifles, and about l ,o0C
spears all Of which were left at the farm
He also had an abundance Of powder and
ammunition. The arms were from time "a
time brought from Connecticut and other
Eastern points, to Chsmbersburg, Pa, and
were directed to ]. Smith 4 Sons (his as
sumsd name), Kennedy Farm. They were
packed in double boxes, 90 - to deceive the
parties who handled them on the way to the
farm. Hs says he made one mistake, in
either not detaining the train on Sunday
night, or else permitting It to 60 through
unmolested.. This mistake, he seemed to
infer, exposed his doings too soon and pre-.
vented his reinforeements from coming. s4rs
The names of oil his party at the Ferry
on Sunday night, except three white mem
whom he admits that he sent away on an
srrand, are as follows with their proper
titles under the provisional government :

ginis, dead; Capt. Aaron O. Stephens, of

A hushel Of letters were discovered, from
all parts Of the country. One from Gerritt
Smith Informs Brown of money being de.
posted IN q bank in New York to the credit
Of J. Smith 4 Sons, and appears to be one
of many, informing him from time to time
Is money was raised. '- '''''
The following is the number of killed and
wounded during the insurrection: Killed
5 citizens, IS insurgents wounded-S in
surgents prisoners, 5 insurgents. The
prisoners have been committed to Charles
town Jail, to await the action Of the Grand
Jury, where they will be indicted and tried
in few days. The arrangement about the
Jurisdiction has been settled in this way:
The local authorities are to try the prisoners
for murder, and in the meanwhile the United
States authorities will proceed on the charge
of treason. Gov. Wise said to Mr.. Ould,
the U. 8. District Attorney, that he had no
objections to the General Government pro-
ceeding against the prisoners-that Is, what
will be left of them BY the time the Virginia
authorities are done with them. r..sa

+ ''They will pass down through Pennsyl-

Harper's Ferry. Brown left the North about

A Baltimore dispatch Of the Goth says that,
in conversation held with Capt. Brown, on
the 10th, in the presence Of Senator Mason,
Hon. Messrs. Faulkner, Vallanlingham and
others, he made several answers which clearly
demonstrate the completely Of numerous per-
sons in the northern, western and eastern
States. He refuses to- answer the question
whether he had conference with Giddings, Of
Ohio, about his Virginia expedition. He
admitted that he had correspondents with
parties At the north On the subject, and had
numerous sympathizers in all the free States.
