The steamer New York arrived on

some further comments on the Harper :
Ferry outbreak.
The London Times compares Browns
plot to that Of Guy Fawkes, and argues
that the fact Of The attempt is evidence Of
the existence OF elements Of danger IN
our social system. The News is quite
philosophical, and thinks the slaves eX-
hiblied wonderful patience and generosity

Of slavery in The Southern States, and es-

To the Agent Of tie Associated Press:
Harper Ferry, Nov. l0.-ll 7. NJ
Various rumors have been adoat here to-
day as to the approach Of body Of armed
men from Ohio in the direction Of Wheel
ing. The respectable source from which
the report originated has created some ex.
element about Charlestown, but there is
none here. Our people are very quiet,not
expecting any attempt at rescue Of the
prisoners. Nor do they fear any, howev-
er Formidable, because they are prepared
for any emergency. The numerous fires
about CharIeslown have induced the cli.
zens to anticipate some annoyance, hence
they are more easily excited but no one
is al all afraid of the result, even if an al
temp, should be made. Col. Davis has
made the most ample provision for any
number Of the enemy who may make
call. learn that more troops are being
demanded from the Governor, but this

is, as lar as can learn, no cause 10 aP-
