got dispatch just now, informing me that
Capt. Sim had gone to Frederick, but would
return in the first train this morning, and would
come on to Charlestown this afternoon. 1
would like to inquire whether the process had
reached Capt. Sim at Harpers Ferry.
Sheriff Campbell replied, that the officer
stated that Capt Sim had gone to Frederick.
Mr.. Hunter. BE was here yesterday. / hope
we will proceed with some other witnesses.
John e. P. Dangerfeld, an officer of the
Armory, who was made prisoner by Capt!
to the complaints of Brown that his men were
shot down while carrying flags of truce. He
promised safety to all species of property, ex7
cept slave property, and made no threats Of
violence.
The evidence fully sustains the accounts we
published last week, and we deem it unnecessa
ny to repeat it.
The counsel for the State complained that
the prisoners counsel showed disposition to
gain time by calling upon witnesses to prove
facts which were not denied. But the court
permitted the examination to proceed.
Other Witnesses were examined, but no new
facts were elected, and the evidence for the de-
fence was closed.
Mr.. Chiffon, counsel for the prisoner, then In,
sisted that the court should compel the counsel
for the State to elect which one of the three
counts in the indictment they would attempt to
prove. Those counts are treason, melting and
assisting slaves to rebel, and murder.
Mr.. Hunter, on the part of the State, resisted
this demand, and the court refused to grant it.
Mr.. Harding then opened the case on the
part of the State, after which the court adjourn
ed to Monday, when Mr.. Chiffon was to reply.
One of the witnesses, Capt. Sim, con-
cluded his testimony as follows:
"On the conclusion of his testimony, Capt.
Sim desired to state that he had returned here
at the summons of the prisoner to testify in his
behalf, with as great alacrity as he had come to
testify against him. He had no sympathy for
the acts of the prisoner or his movement-on
the contrary, he would be one of the first to
bring him to punishment. But he regarded
Capt. Brown as brave man, and being in
formed that he wanted him here as witness
he had returned with pleasure. AS Southern
man, he came here to state the facts about the
case, so that Northern men would have no op.
portunity ofsaying that Southern men were un-
willing to appear as witnesses in behalf of one
whose principles they abhorred.n

THE FORBES CORRESPONDENCE.

The New York Herald, few days ago. pub
lished a batch of letters from one Col" Forbes
to DR.. S. G. Howe, of Boston, out of which the
spurious Democracy hope to make great deal
Of party capital, both for the present New York
State election and for the Presidential contest
next year. Who this " COL" Forbes is, no one
seems to know, further than that he is an Eng.
lishman, who has suffered dreadfully for want
of money, and who has shown a readiness to
embark in the most bloody and desperate enter.
prises to make it.
According to his own account, he was an ac-
cessory before the fact to all of John Browns
insane efforts to stir up instructions among
the slaves Of the South he has much to say Of
the schemes and enterprises of the New Eng
land humanitarians," but all of Forbes's letters
show that he had more practical ends in view.
He shows throughout determination to put
money in his purse" He had his own plans
and theories of humanitarian" effort He
preferred taking stock in the Underground
Railroad, and proposed the organization Of
grand series of slave stampedes, extending
from Delaware to Kansas. Bat he was not
particular, and agreed with Brown to a modi-
fed plan of stampedes, accompanied with coca
sional enterprises at instruction, such as Brown
undertook at Harpers FerEss The Colonels'
devotion to humanitarian enterprises was
great, but they were only means TO the end,
and that end was to put money in his purse.
1t is true that he disregards the maxim of
Mr. Snagsby, and endeavors to "put too fine
point upon it." 1t is never himself, but always
his dear family that suffers for money. One
would suppose, from reading the letters, that
the "humanitarians have a deadly spite at
the innocent wife and little ones of Col. Forbes;
and this strange antipathy is the more remark
able, since there is no evidence that they have
ever been in America, or in any way mixed
themselves up with Pro-Slavery politics In
deed, from Forbes's own statement, and the &C
counts which accompany them, we should in
fer that he had not seen his family for years.
Such are the antecedents of the gallant Col
Forbes, so far as we have been able to learn
them from his letters. He is simply a NEEDY
adventurer, who, according to his own admis-
sions, was willing to incite slave instructions
and slave stampedes, upon a regular salary
But the dust must be paid down, or Col. Forbes
was not the man TO violate the laws Of bis
adopted country; and when he ascertained
that the humanitarian exchequer was emp

Powers, and garrisoned by them, to insure due
protection to their Ministers. Our own Minis
Ter, Mr.. Ward, will possibly accomplish moth
ing at Pekin until that is effectually done by
The French and English marine.
Without untrammeled personal freedom and
lof movement, foreign Minister at Pekin never
will possess any national influences or power.
He viii ever remain at the mercy Of the cum
ming, which is the marked characteristic OF
Chinese feature and policy. Chinese authority
must not say how nor by what pathway for
eign Envoy shall approach the city of Pekin.
Every road must be open. He must be respect
ed in all pathways and rivers by Imperial de-
cree. Unless this should be the case, q foreign
Minister resident at Pekin will be forever a
prisoner to the cunning folly of Chinese caprice.

be abridged into mere synopsis. He con-
tends, however, that political tribunals can. de-
termine judicial questions, and denounces the
attempt to create new party tests. II the new
tests now insisted upon had been presented in
the last Presidential contest, the people of the
United States would never have known Judge
Black as Attorney General, nor would the
power and patronage of a Democratic Admin
istration have been exhausted in the prosecu-
ton of war of determination upon all who
proved faithful to the principles upon which
these eminent men were elevated to their high
places"
This is the same old story-the same blatant
assertions of popular sovereignty, merely de-
signed to amuse the masses, but accompanied
by admissions fatal to his theory. Mr.. Doug
las admits that, after all the Territories are not
in any sense sovereign, and that they can exer-
else only such legislative power as their organic
acts and the Constitution, as construed by the
Supreme Court comedies to theml He ad-
mits fully and explicitly the authority of the
bred Scott case, which declares that Slavery
exists in the Territories by virtue of the Con-
stitution, and that neither Congress nor the in
habtants can exclude it Could any form of
words involve greater absurdity than Mr.. Doug
lass boosted popular sovereignty, followed by
these admissions?
