The Harper's Ferry Invaders.

CHARLEsrowN, Va, Nov. 8,
There has been marked abatement In
the excitement here to-day. The town is,
however, as full of people as when the
excitement was at its height, and stran-
gers are continually coming and going.
Judge Russell and lady, and Mr.. Hoyt,
who first took up Browns defence, left
here this morning for Boston.
Coppie, who was found guilty yester-
day has not received his sentence.
Shields Green, one of the negro prison
ers, was put on trial to-day. He is de-
Tended by Mr.. Sennett. The evidence is
closed, aud the case will be submitted TO-
morrow.
Copeland is next for trial, and on Mon.
day it is expected that the wounded man
Stevens will be brought up.
1t is almost certain that Cook will
plead guilty, first submitting written
confession or statement of his connection
with Brown. His brother-in-law, Gov
Willard, of Indiana, is still here.
RICHMOND, Nov. 8.
Gov. Wise has issued a proclamation
offering a reward of $500 each for the ar
rest Of the following named fugitive in
surgents:

MITIGATION OF THE PUNISH
MENT.

Several of our northern democratic co.
temporaries have expressed the hope that
the Governor of Virginia will mitigate the
punishment of Brown and bis surviving
companions TO Imprisonment for life.-
Not that they do not deserve death, but
that they have been the instruments of
parties whose guilt is greater than theirs.
We should say that it is not improbable
that Governor Wise may do this, and
that the public sentiment of Virginia will
sustain him in it. If the real responsible
parties for the treason and murder and
attempt at insurrection-they who have
preached the doctrine of an "irrepressiblc
conflict" and who have supplied the ma
terials of war-coud be brought to ac-
countability, no leniency could be asked
for them, and we have no idea that any
would be shown them; but with regard
to Brown perhaps the demands of retri-
butive justice will be met if the penalty
of his crime shall be so far relaxed as to
save his life, while at the same time he
shall be put where he cannot in the flu
ture be used by the men who have used
him in this bloody plot. This arrange
ment will not suit aboltionism. We be-
lieve it to be the hope of abolitionism
that Brown and his companions shall be
hung, for in that event it would seek to
excite that public sympathy which is al
most always felt in greater or less de-
gree for doomed malefactors, and turn il
to the account of party capital. The at
tempt would be forthwith made to raise
Brown 10 the degree of martyrdom. He
would be set up as a saint. We do not
imagine that abolitionism could accom-
plish much in this line, but it is already
apparent that it thinks it could, and
hence its wish that Brown may be hung.
We join our hope with that of our
democratic contemporaries of whom we
have spoken that abolitionism may not
be gratified in its desire for the death of
Brown. Put the old incendiary where he
can do no harm in the future, and let him
live. While Seward and Giddings and
Phillips and Smith and other other chiefs
OF sinners still live and are at large, we
would not put Brown to death.
Still, the question is one which the
Governor of Virginia will determine in
view of all the facts and circumstances of
the case as they shall present themselves
TO him. He may be Of the opinion that
examples should be made of Brown and
his companions. If such shall be his de-
termination no one can rightfully com
plain of it. Brown and his companions
are guilty of treason and murder, and it
will be extraordinary leniency that will
save them from death.

SOUTHERN r. R. BUsMEss.-Tbe
freight business on this Road is largely
increasing. All tho cars of the Com
pany are in use and some have been Dor
rowed from the Wabash Road. An adj.
ditional propeller has been put on the
Dunkirk line, one being now daily loaded
at the dock. The elevators at Toledo
work night and day to keep thograin from
accumulating. No less than forty eight
loaded freight trains passed over the road
last week.
The Toledo Herald learns that the shor
force on the road is being gradually re-
duced with view of greater economy,
thlrty-three names Having been struck
from the pay roll at Adrian during the
last month. Upon an attempt being
made at Laporte TO economic in equal
ratio, the shop hands in body laid down
their tools. The matter was settled in
some shape, but how is not stated.

NEGROES Us. FoRrros BoRN CITIZENS.

NEGROES as. FOREIGN Born CITIZENS.
The black republicans Of Massachu-
sets have not been content with disband-
ing all the military companies in the
State composed of foreign born citizens;
they have not been content with denying
to foreign born citizens the right of voting
for two years after they have become citi-
zens; they have not been content with
granting the same privilege TO negroes af-
ter they have been in the State one year;
they have not been content with all this.
They have now so amended the militia
laws of the State by striking out the
word "white," as to allow and, in fact,
encourage the formation Of negro compan-
les. This is eminently in keeping with
the whole course of black republicanism.
1t has been their constant eDdeavor TO de-
press the foreign born citizens and elevate
the negroes. We see how eflectually it
has been done in Massachusetts,. The
Germans, Irish, English, Scotch, and all
have been deprived of voting and the priv
ilege given to the blacks; the military
companies formed of foreign Born citizens
have been disbanded and negro compan-
les are now to be formed in their place.
Could any fact, more aptly illustrate
black republicanism?

SAD DISASTER IN A WAREHOUSE
A melancholy disaster occurred yesterday
morning in Sturgis & Buckingham's ware
house 3d." at the mouth of the harbor.
While loading the propeller Free State
with new corn, it became necessary 10
send men down into the bin to clear the
spouts. Two men were dispatched on
this GRAND, but not returning at the usual
time, alarm was excited, and a search
was made, which resulted in finding their
dead bodies buried in the grain. The bin
had been previously drawn from, and it is
supposed that crust had formed upon
the surface of the corn, which, gave way
with the weight Of the men, and precip-
itated them below, where it is probable
the grain shelved in upon them. Nearly
an hour had elapsed before their absence
excited alarm, and, when taken out, the
bodies were lifeless, though still warm
One Of the men, James Gallagher, leaves
a wife and four children. The other
leaves widowed mother, whose support
he had been for years.
