that several hundred abolitiUnists al the
head Of large body of Negroes, had seized
the public works al llarper's Ferry, and
were sending out detachments Of marauders
into the adjacent counties Of Virginia and
MARYLAND, lIbcrating the slaves, and commit
ting diabolical depredatlons upon the lnhab-
;,ants. The report was not spread until at
Ter The train passed down next day. \
large BODY Of Students had determined 70
20 armed 10 the Ferry. The next day when
lispatchrs came, stating that the insurrcc-
ton had been surpressed-this iaudabie de-
sire to assist was not confined TO the NIr-
giuans but manifested by Students OF dis
tant States to the number vi lOo or 2lH'.
Special notice should hc taken OF the
Monticello Guards Volunteer Compa-
nv. for the alacrity with which they has
tened 10 obey the call ut an hours notice.
At half past seven, the drums beat the call,
and at 81, thirty men fully equipped, under
Lieut.. Charles Wertenbakcr commanding,
marched 10 the depot. and went as far rs
Washington, when Il countermandIng order
Of Gov. Wise turned them back much To
their disappointment.
The number Of Students who have marl-
culatcl is about 6ju. The session has thus
far been remarkable for the orderly heha-
viour and sobriety Of the Students. Many
improvements are under construction. gun

Webb on Slavery.

General james Watson Webb, has suddenly
turned his back on "Republicansm.' lie
deyoutly believes in slavery. and emphatlcal
" saws that ''ti entitled To- every particle
Of protection which thc Constitution affords
it. 1t may moi be mediled with, either by
the General Government or the people OF the
free States: and it is the duty Of the General
Government To protect the Institution where
il exists, and to trown down all interference
from abroad" These are the ChcyaIer :
own words and they certainly imply that
another change must have come over the
