WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.--While the Cabinet
were in session yesterday, the President re-
ceived IA dispatch showing the pressing neces-
sity for military assistance at Brownsville.
The Secretary Of War, within half an hour
thereafter, issued instructions TO Capt. ricketts,,
commanding the artillery company at Baton
Rouge, to place his men in readiness to march,
and at the same time the Quartermaster at
New Orleans was telegraphed to make arrange
ments for transporting the troops to Point Isa-
bel, towards which place they are now proba-
bly, on their way. j. B. Thomas, the special
delegate from Brownsville, had an interview
with the Secretary of War to-day, and fully
explained to him the alarming condition of the
frontier of the Rio Grande.

CHARLEsTowN. Va, Nov. 9.-The trial of
Cook commenced to-day, aud the courtroom
was crowded. Gov. Willard and Mr. Trow-
ley, brothers-in-law of the prisoner, were seat
ed beside him. He pleaded not guilty to all
the counts in the indictment except that of
treason The prisoner was welldressed, firm,
and dignifcd.
The demurrer to the treason count, was ar
gued and overruled by the court. The jury
were then sworn, and the same questions put
to them as in Browns case.
Mr.. Green, for the prisoner, admitted the
fact of a conspiracy with slaves to rebel, which
was punishable with death or Imprisonment
for life.
Mr.. Hunter then read the confession of Cook
as written by himself There were twenty
five foolscap pages of it. Nothing new was
elected, except that he implicated Fred. d pug
lass and DR.. Howe of Boston. The confession
will be published in pamphlet form for the
benefit of Samuel c. Young, who was wound
ed at Harper's Ferry. To-day was spent in
taking testimony aud opening the argument
for the state. The public feeling against Cook
is stronger than any other of the prisoners.
He is regarded as having been spy for the
inSurrectionists. Strong efforts will be made
by Gov Willard to save his life.

HE IRREPREssIBLE CONFLICT. - This
conflict goes on steadily in the South. A COR
respondent of the Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal,
writes to that paper as follows =
ut begins to be vaguely whispered through
the country that Memphis is becoming an abo-
lition city, like ST. Louis, and the permission
given to the negroes to hold fair at Odd Eel
lows Hall, week or two since is pointed to
as evidence of the fact. What could the peo-
pie Of Memphis have been thinking about when
they accorded this permission Are they not
aware of the direct tendency to characterization
which they foster in allowing the negroes such
privileges and liberties My experience, dur
ing long residence in Memphis, leads me to
the belief that slaves there were allowed too
close an approximation to the social level of the
white man for the peace and welfare of our
peculiar institution. Heretofore, of late years,
you might have seen, almost every day, but
especially on Sunday, negroes smoking cigars
on the streets, driving about in splendid equip
ages, holding in innate and familiar intercourse
with Northern white men,-almost any day
you could hear of them gambling, drinking
and carousing at their own especial bsslls, and
| engaging openly i'll other fashionable follies
and vices,-and now, it seems, negro fairs at
Odd Fellows Hall have become regular 'in-
stitution' among you? The one which came
off two weeks ago, am informed by country
people who were i'll town at that time, must
have been very grand and successful affair,
seeing that the negroes kept up the frolic near
ly all night, and that the streets around Odd
Fellows Hall were thronged with their car
rlages, and the town vocal with the noise of
their Qualification" until late hour of the
next morning. What a rare and beautiful
spectacle in southern city, must have been
this ebony fair.
The question arises DO the free white
people of Memphis propose to raise the negroes
of the place gradually up to aposition of equal
ity with themselves? The people of the coun-
try towns of West Tennessee, who allow their
negroes nearly the same privileges that they
enjoy in Memphis, would do well to ponder the
same question"
