Old Rrown's Doings in Kansas.

John ID. Pennybacker, the member elect
of the Virginia Senate from the hooking
ham district, furnishes the Harrisburg
Register with an account of his experience
with Ossawattomie Brown in Kansas,
which proves the Abolition martyr to be
a robber in the lowest deception OF the
term. Mr.. Pennybacker was United
States Survey Examiner in the Territory,
and was with Capt. Pate's party when it
was captured by arti6ce at Black Jack
He says Brown would not have spared
his prisoners lives then, but that his own
two sons were in prison at Lecompton'
The statement continues
While in his hands, 1 heard Browns
son boast of the horses they had stolen
from Missouri and elsewhere. j also saw
party start out for the purpose Of rob-
bing an Indian trading post (Joseph Der
nard's,) and saw them return loaded with
the goods (somc s., O00worth,) Old Brown
exclaiming as they came in, "Well done,
my boysn Brown told me himself that
his hand was against every man, free
State or pro-slavery, who was not willing
to join his band, and that he would kill
one as soon as the other. His SON Fred
erick was killed at Ossawattomie by Mar
tin White, free State man, who had re-
fused to join Browns company, and was
thereupon robbed and ordered to leave
the Territory.
John Brown was afterwards whipped
at Ossawatome, and l believe he then
left the Territory. OF his subsequent
operations there know nothing. That
he, without provication, inhumanly muir
dcred men in their beds, ! know. That
he committed robbery and theits of goods
and horses | heard from his son AMI his
own men, and saw with my own eyes; but
that he ever gave as an excuse that he
was attempting to run off slaves while
doing this "Kansas work. Inever heard
from him or any one else, There was
not slave within forty miles of Potta
watomie Creek, where he committed tho
murders, and not one of the murdered
men had ever raised an arm against him
Thus much for religious fanatacism ans
humanity of Brown, "the martyr" His
boldness, daring and unscrupuiousnes
pointed him out as fit instrument fo
carrying out the helish designs Of mel
too cowardly to execute their own bas'
schemes.

A Feasible Project.


Aproiect is on foot for organizing
joint stock company here for the purpose
Of manufacturing, on an extensive scale,
agricultural implements and machinery
Of all kinds. The Enterprise of last week
has an able article setting forth the many
advantages which this locality offers
to such an operation, and without going
into the details of the subject we shall
briefly state n few facts in connection
Herewith which are patent to every OBJ
server.
1st. Coal, Iron and all metals or other
articles necessary to be imported can be
delivered here at as low frcights as at any
port on the whole lake coast.
ID, On all lumber and timber required,
a saving of from 80 to 100 per cent on
the cost can be made in comparison with
the price paid at any point where these
articles arc extensively manufactured
Sd. Living is cheap and as a consc-
qucnce labor can be had at reasonable
figure.
4th. Our facilities for shipment are
such that articles manufactured can be
delivered at any pointin the United States
or Canadas on the most advantageous
terms.
9th. The home market, situated as we
are in the centre Of new and growing
country, unrivaled for the fertility of its
soil, the quantity and quality Of its tim
Der and the extent and variety of its min.
eral resources, offers inducements for the
immediate sale of articles, which can be
found in no other section.
Tn view Of these facts and many more
which might be presented, it does seen
to us that no project has been started
which more Justly claims the attention o
our capitalists and practical mechanics
That it would pay there cannot be til,
possibility of doubt, and the great al
vantage in connection which would &C
cruc to laboring men in giving employ
ment at times when there is but little t.
do in their usual avocations, renders it
subject well worthy the consideration Q
all liberal minded citizens We hope t
see these suggestions, put forth rs the
have been at the instance of intelligen
aud skillful operators, men who are them
selves practical mechanics, acted upo
with the spirit and energy which alway
charactcrizcs the doings Of the people {

PoRT HURON SHOOTING CAsE.--We con-
dense the particulars of the recent Sickles
affair in Port Huron from the Press of
last week.
CAPT. FRED MCKEE has for some time
past entertained suspicious that his wife
was unGaithful to him, and that several
men were in the habit of visiting his house
in his absence for criminal purposes. lie
had accordingly made an entrance under
the house, through a small cellar, and from
beneath had cut hole in the floor of his
bedroom, and inserted trap door direct
" under the bed.
Capt. NJ had from time to time secre-
ted himself here, and had hearcd things
which confirmed his suspicious.
Sunday night he told his wife he was
going to Detroit, and left the house with
that avowed intention, taking in his hand
carpet-bag. Instead, however, of go
ing to Detroit, he took his position under
the bedroom of his suspected wife, and
through the trap door watched the move
ments about his house. Between 10 and
| o'clock on Monday he heard a rap al
the door, and some man entered, and
passing through the front room and {
short hall, into the dining room, and finally
the bedroom sat down upon the edge
of the bed, and drawing the woman to him
the husband, from his hiding place under
the bed, discovered that his worst sus
picious were realized He had armed him
self with double barrelcd pistol, eacf
barrel being heavily charged, and eacl
containing two balls. At the instant he
was satisfied of his wife's guilt he reach
ed from under the bed, and lifting the
valance, placed the muzzle of his plsto
within few inches of the light leg OF tho
man, and discharged the contents Of one
barrel in the leg, the two balls taking eff
feet about midway between the knee ano
hip, and fracturing the bone badly. The
man sprung from his position, and the
husband instantancously discharged tn,
other barrel of his pistol, both balls pass
ing through the other leg, inhicting only
a flesh wound. The husband then camC
out from his hiding place and struck tho
man on the head with billet of wood
after which he went to the front door and
gave the alarm, calling in the first pass
err by, and telling him the story.
The wounded man is DIR. j. Frcund, o
this city, who has since died from the
effect of the wounds. Mr.. Mckee i'm
mediately surrendered himself to the Off
GERS and was held to bail for the sum o
$4,000.

Tom SAVERS AND HEENAN (rnE BEYIcIA
BoY).-Accorting to his promise, Tom
Savers, accompanied by his principal
hackers, attended at our Office OH Thurs
day and signed preliminary articles to
fight Hccnan for the championship and
5000 a side, or rs much more as Heenan
can get, up to 5000 or $500 side. 1t
viii bc remembered that lIcenan, in his
challenge, originally proposed to add fi00
or $500 a side to the stakes, if agreeable
to Tom Saycrs, and we suppose, therefore,
we may state, without fear or contradic-
ton. that the match will be for 5000 a
side at least, and will be for higher
stake than ever has been fought for. Say
crs wishes to fight some time i'll February
at latest, and proposes TO meet Heenan
ut Owen Swift,s, on Thursday, December
IL, to settle final articles and make the
necessary arrangements. f50'a side is
now down, and we hold an additional
Cl00 on behalf of lIcenan, who, we hear,
is already taking his preliminary breath
ings in his native country. The match
will, doubtless, create more interest than
,any similar rflair in modern times. Tom
has quite recovered from his accident, and
intends to be good boy and leave nc
stone unturncd in preparing TO uphold
the honor of his country.-BslPs Life IN
