The Reign of Terror.

Old John Brown with his little band of
fanatics who lately so reused the slaye-hol-
ders of Virginia and Maryland to such a
pitch of terror and excitement, that they
imagine every stranger they see to be an
emissary of Browns, and an enemy and
spy to the south, have called to their aid
both State and Government troops, and not
satisfied with their vigilance and watchful-
ness, have summoned private citizens tc
stand as sentinels on their watch-tower, as
see the following:
"The HagerstorR (Md.) T0reAHP tsays; rhe Governo
ordered the Sheriff ofWashngton county to appoint
sufficient number Of deputies residing along near the
boundary line between this State and Pennsylvania, ant
others residing along the Potomac river who may be
powered with authority in Of any assembly
or unlawful characters whose character and pur-
pose not known, and to arrest and detain them In
suance this order Sheriff has summoned Eve hum
ded men in various parts OF the county to act as his spe
cla deputies"
How ridiculoussuch nnouncementsseem
How the glory of the chivalry of Virginia
and Maryland wasteth away, and their cour-
agelike Bob Acres "oozeth out at their
fingers end"

Burning OF the Royal Chartor-Ncar 400

Montreal, Nov Z.
The following important item Of news is
taken from ihe Liverpool Daily Post Of tho
27th of October, copy Of which was OBJ
tained BY the steamer North America.
The public will learn acknowledging
grief tbatthc splendid vessel the Royal
Charter was totally lost yesterday in Muffa
Red Bay, near Bangor, on the northern
coast Of Wales. Tho melancholy inteli-
gence which reached us late last night was
brief, but we fearis only too true. Ofup-
warts Of 400 persons who were on board
only 10 arc said to have been saved. There
is somo hope, however, that this statement
is exaggerated. But under the crcumstnn-
ces the loss Of life il is to be feared, has
been immense.
The Royal Charter had about half mil
lion in gold on board.
Where the disaster took place is not
known, for the telegraph had ceased to
work, and so destructive had becu the storm
along the coast yesterday that the Chester
and Burkenhead Railway had been de-
stroyed in two or three places.

scared at TrIfIes.

Old John Brown is powerful man.
With sixteen whites and FIVE negroes he
has scared fourteen sovereign States nearly
out of their wits, excited Uncle Sam-the
southern proclivity of the old gentleman, we
mean-beyond measure. He captured
and held at his will Two thousand of the
"chivalry." To capture him and his TWEEN
ty-one confcderates, it became necessary to
call out dctachments of U. S. Troops, and
all the volunteer soldiers of the States Of
Maryland and Virginia, and the highest Off
Ger of the U. s. army now on the Atlantic
shore.

Sensible settlement of a Momentous
Question

Wc extract the following from an article
in the Washington Constitution.
"But it is matter Of no importance
whether Mr.. Giddings is the chairman OF
simply a member of the Republican State
Committee of Ohio. He is as much iden-
tilted with the Republican party in the one
case as in the other and so far as our OBJ
ject is concerned, the precise rank which he
holds in the Republican Committee of Ohio
makes no difference whatever"

Tho Kidnappers Of John Rice.

It is highly probable, from what we
learn, that the persons whose duties it is,
will sec that every one directly concerned in
kidnapping John Rice, free man, in all
probability, from Morrow county, to be sold
into perpetual Slavery among the rice
swamps or sugar plantations of the extreme
South, is promptly brought to trial for
this grave offence. If possible, their vic
tim ought to be traced out on his dismal
Journey Southwark, and relieved, by legal
process, from the situation, worse than
death, to which these inhnmau white men,
by the basest acts of deceit by brutal vio-
lence, and by the completely Of most ac-
commodating Commissioner have succeeded
in sending him. Is this tho way in which
the demand for "more slaves" is to be graf
ifed9
1t is time that free men in Ohio should
vindicatc their laws and their own selfre
speet. Strong presumption of guilt in this
case exists against every leading instru-
ment concerned in the disgraceful transac
tion. The offence of the Commissioner
most certainly, should also receive due notice
The pretence that Rice admitted he wa.
tho slave of the claimant, while crossing the
river, we believe to be unfounded in truth,
and got up merely to shield the guilty par
ties. We are glad to know there is pros
pect that they will be tried before jury Of
the people of Morrow county Gin. GGz
