CnAMBERsBURe, Oct. 21.-This community has
been considerably excited to-day by the appearance
here at noon of one of the fugitives from Harpers
Ferry, supposed to be the notorious Capt. Cook A
gentleman from Quincy overlook the man on the
road leading from Waynesborough to this place
and carried him some distance in his buggy When
about three miles from town the man got out of the
vehicle under the pretence of taking another road
About an hour after, however, the gentleman saw
MIN upon one OF our streets and informed two
others, who followed and tracked / i'm to house at
which Browns men have boarded. Placing one
man to guard the house the others went For assist
ance, but before they returned the man had es.
caPed at the rear OF the house, passing through
garden.
At the foot of the garden blanket containing
Sharp's rifle, unloaded, was found, which is known
to have been in his possession. Immediate pursuit
was made by a number of men, but trace was
discovered. The blanket was marked "E. H. :"
and it, with the rifle, are in Sheriff Browns
possession. The man has other weapons Cooks
wife and child are now and have been for the past
week at the house through which he passed, but
she denies that this man is Cook.
The generallmpression however is thatit was him.
He had on a black high crowned slouch hat; some
what faded black frock coat, with outside pockets
light brown pants, very large heavy boots and
red striped calico Shirt is about feet or inches
tall sallow complexion light hair cut straight
across behind, light sandy beard and moustache
(beard not heavy.) His general appearance
is very rough and shabby. Parties are now in pur
suit of him and others will start in the morning.
1t is supposed that other fugtives are in the neigh
0orhood, and efforts are being made to ferret them
out. If caught there will be no favor or protec-
tion extended to them by any of our citizens.
