four or five miles in width, excellent land fol
sweet potatoes, melons, &c. There is no fresh
water on the island, except rain water, preserved
by the natives in some csterns of rock near the
south end..
About three-quarters of mile off the western
side of Niihau, is high and somewhat broken
peak, apparently two sides of crater, of which
the s. W. portion has fallen in, leaving the in
side face exposed in that direction-a black and
broken precipice. Jarves calls it 1000 feet high,
but 500 feet would be nearer correct. The faces
towards Kauai and Niihau are covered with scat
tered tufts of grass, among which numerous wild
rabbits find living. The most singular thing
on the island is a small perelnial spring of excel
lent fresh water, few feet above high water
mark The rock itself is lower than the Niihau
mountains, and neither of them receive water
enough to supply any spring. Consequently the
water must come from the mountains of Kauai,
whose nearest shore is at least twelve miles dis
tant.
kAULA.
Is in sight from Nihau, and some seven or
eight miles off its S. W. point. 1t is a barren
rock, Astounding in sea-fowl and their eggs, for
which the natives occasionally visit it. A land
ing can be effected only in the calmest weather,
the surf breaks very heavily ut all times.
NIHOA.
Or Bird Island about 120 miles n. w. from
Kauai, was always reckoned by the natives as
belonging to the Hawaiian group, and in ancient
times was not unfrequently visited by the chiefs.
Fish, birds and eggs, well as sea-lions, and
perhaps turtle, they obtained there-and these
comprise the list of its productions. 1t is a pre-
cipitous rock, described by Captain John Patty as
400 feet high, one and half miles long, and half
mile wide. A landing seldom be accom-
plished with safety with ordinary boats, though
canoes might succeed better.

Insanity and Crime the Fruit of Fa-
naticism

The plea put in for John Brown is in
sanity, the offspring of fanaticism In
this respect, he stands on the same level
of infamy with Robespicrre, Narat and
Danton, with the rest of that crew who
imbruel their hands in human blood, and
who were fanatcally insane on the sub
ject of human rights. And we might
extend the comparison If Brown finds
his parallel in Robespierre, those who
have by their teaching and doctrines in
cited him to plan instruction, the anal
ogy to the Stewards, Summers, Giddingses,
Wendell Philipses, &C., must be sought
in the leaders of the Jacobin Clubs of
Paris, in that era of bloodshed when
truth and innocence, beauty and rank,
youth and old age, we're sacrificed to the
fell spirit of fanaticism, which professed
to be guided by regard for the abstract
rights of humanity.
The men who maddened John Brown,
making of him an incendiary, are pre-
cisely Of the same stamp and have equally
won the execrations of posterity with the
leaders who filled the prisons Of France,
while her followers stained her streets
and scaffolds with blood, under the inspi-
ration Of these Jacobin leaders. The
mobs of Paris applauded precisely as do
the masses in the cities and villages of
the North, who sympathize with the
opinions and justify the doings Of the
Harper's Ferry inccndiarics.

Popular Vote of Maryland.

We subjoin the full vote of the seve-
raj counties of the State at the late cleo
ton for Comptroller. Many of the re-
turns are official. The aggregate vote
of the counties, outside the city, is 63,-
S21, which is an increase of 4 ,059 over
the Governors election last fall. The
democratic vote has increased 2.662, and
the American vote 397. The demo-
cratic majority in the counties this year
is 2,545. Last year it was 1,1SO-in-
creased majority 1865. Adding what
purports to be the returns from Balti-
more city, the aggregate vote of the en-
tire State is 81, 374, against IS 800 last
fall.

EXCITEMENT AT CHARLEsToWN. 1t is
stated that considerable excitement still
exists at Charlestown, Va, caused by
numerous incendiary fires in the neigh
borhood, and belief among the inhabi-
tants that emissaries of old Brown, arc
still lingering about Mayor Green, of
Charlcstown, had issued proclamation
declaring that all strangers, who cannot
give a satisfactory account of themselves,
must leave the town or county immediate
ly; and, "if they do not, any member
of the town council, the town sergeant,
Col. Davis, Lawson Bolts, Il. NJ. Ais
quith, Wells j Hawkes., are requested
to make it their special business to bring
such strangers before the mayor, or some
justice Of the peace, to be dealt with ac-
cording to law aud the authorities of
Harper's Ferry, Bolivar, sbepherdstown
or Middleway, and all other authorities
in the county, are hereby requested TO
take like action"
On the appearance Of this proclamo-
ton, Mr.. Hoyt, who had Returned to the
town; Mr.. Sennott, one OF the counsel
for the prisoners, and Mr. Jewett, con-
nected with Frank Leslie's, received an
intimation from Col Davis, that they
we're among the strangers whose pres
ence was not satisfactory to the people,
and that their personal safety would best
be secured by an early departure. Mr.
Sennott declined leaving until he had
concluded his business. Mr. Hoyt had
already made arrangc ments for his de-
parture before the proclamation appeared
and he, with Mr.. Jewett, left there on
Saturday. Mr.. Jewett was suspected
unjustly, he declares-of being the cor
respondent of the New York Tribune,
which paper has recently published some
letters from Charlestown of an irritating
character.

Hon. D. S. Dickinson addressed
monster mass-meeting of the democracy
Of New York, and from a scathing re-
view of the opposition to the Democratic
party we extract the following:
Look at this opposition party. They
have called themselves all manner of
names, taking name and wearing it out
like an old worn-out garment. The old
whig name, full of honored memories,
lasted longer than any. Now, republ-
can has been brought into service newly
whitewashed, and if lasts them through
the next election they will never try it
on again. Opposition is a suitable name
opposition to the Constitution, oppesi-
ton to the best interests of the country,
opposition to sound financial system,
opposition to good faith and good feeling
between the several States. They have
opposed every democratic measure. Had
their counsels prevailed the Union would
now have comprised only the old thirteen
States and their Territories and yet,
cramped up as it would have been, it
would be too large for this party, for it
would have included Georgia, the Caro-
linas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia,
Maryland, and Delaware, in which no re-
publican party exists. The republican
jacket would have been too small for that
crampel and shorn nation How would
like to know, do the republican party
propose to exercise the government when
they have no local habitation nor name,
and when this irrepressiblc army of free
dom can never march"

KENTUCKY. AT a regular meeting of
the democracy of Russell county, Ky,
on the 18th inst, the following, among
other patriotic resolutions, was passed
unanimously;
PeSolced, That the recent reasonable
and murderous conspiracy at Harpcr's
Ferry is indicative of the traitorous and
incendiary spirit of the opposition black
republican party; that the prompt and
patriotic course Of President BUCH-
ANAN in suppressing, and the unani-
nous voice of democratic men and news
papers at the North in denouncing. the
treason is but another link in the chain
of overwhelming evidence that proves
the democratic party the only party both
able and willing to stand by and guard
the Constitution and the Union

THE ARREST OF A KIDNAPPER IN CAR
ROLL County. I've have already men
toned that white man was arrested in
Carroll county, Md, last week, and that
he had with him wagon and provisions
and was accompanied by colored man
and woman, supposed to be en- route for
a free State. They are now in jail at
Westminster Mr. George Il. Wampler,
of Westminster, writes to Mayor Bcrret,
Of Washington city, to the following
effect:
The woman is supposed to be slave
Of Clark Mills, Of Washington, and the
man, who is her husband, is owned in
Prince Georges county, but was hired
in Washington. The white man is said
to have resided in Washington for the
last two years. 1t is probable he will be
sent to Virginia to answer the charge Of
attempting to run off Col Lees slaves.
The negro woman says she was brought
from the college in your city. The ne
gro man has not revealed where be came
from, but the white man says he came
from Washington, and the whole con-
veyance is well prepared to aid negroes.
The white man is fully identified as the
man who was with Col. lees blacks last
spring, and who was taken from here in
July last by one of your city officers -
lie says that he owns but one-fifth Of the
horses and wagon, and to keep the horses
at livery until our April term, they will
be Of heavy expense. Your inquiry
touching this matter might lead to the
arrest Of others.
