The Insurgsnt Prisoners at Charlestown.


CHARLEsrowS, Oct. 3O.-This evening the
United States Guards of Frederick, under
command Of Captain Sim, reached here
from lIarper's Ferry, and requested to see
the prisoners. They were admitted by au-
thorty of Judge Parker, going in by squads.
They first visited the cell Of Brown and Ste
vens. Brown was in good spirits He rose
from his couch and took the visiters by the
hand, remarking: Gentlemen, am glad to
sec you.
In reply to questions put to him, he said
he was still suffering some pain about the
left kidney He said he was treated with
all humanity, and bore testimony to the et-
ficiency of the volunteer soldiers. lie thank
ed Capt Sim for the manly and truthful
manner in which he had testified here, and
said he would always recollect him for his
many noble traits of character. During the
conversation Brown occasionally played with
the little children of the Jjailor, who were pre-
sent. lie remarked that he had fought on
the frontiers in the war of 1872 and during
his life had endured many hardships and
knew how to bear them. Stevens was sui
tering much but is still getting better. He
shook all the company by the hand.
Coppee said ne was prepared 10 bear his
fate like a man. and told Capt. Sim that he
should want him to testify on the trial, which
Sim promised to do All stated that they
were well treated. Capt. Cooks cell was not

Giddlngs and Brown.

Joshua Il. Giddings, Republican cxmcm-
Der of Congress from Ohio made a speech
to the Philadelphians, On Friday night,
which seems to have had double object III
view. first, TO eulogise the Iarper's Ferry
| insurrectionists as patriots, martyrs and he
| roes, in the abstract-but, ID, to take good
care to persuade the public that he Gid
dings) had nothing 20 do with, and could
not have been induced to have anything to
| do with the practical work. Thus the mo-
mcnt Brown Y Co. undertake to practice
what Giddings & Co. Of the abolition school
have been preaching for years past, the lat
ter, with characteristic magnanimity, set
about getting rid Of the responsibility and
their dupcs ut the same time. All the deal
ings he ever had with old Brown, Giddings
said, might be summed up thus:
''On one occasion, he (GiddingS) invited
Brown TO Jefferson County. Ohio, where he
delivered lecture one Sunday after church,
telling his trials in Kansas. After the lee
ture, Mr.. Giddings prompted the audience
to contribute relief to Brown. Afterwards,
Brown took tea at his residence, where they
had conversation. Though Brown never
said he intended to visit the slave States to
Tree slaves, Mr. uluulnSs inferred he would,
if opportunity offered, mainly from having
done SO in Missouri These were the only
times Mr.. Giddings saw Brown. and he as
Serts that neither in his lecture, nor in con-
versation, did Brown say he had assistants
or associates. No mention was made of n
lIarpers Ferry or Virginia organization, or
4 provisional government. lleacknowledges
contributing three dollars 10 Browns son,
towards the necessities of his father, after
the rescue of boy from the kidnappers: u
matter in which Mr. Giddings acknowledged
taking strong interest. In bestowing this
gratuity, he said he had little idea that it
was to be used in fitting out an expedition
to capture Harper's Ferry, to effect the con-
quest of the Old Dominion, strike terror to
the executive, or imperil the government"
The speech generally, however, was a
guarded yet characteristic assault upon sla-
very and the slave States embodied in a re-
Sume of the history of the country, the con-
stitution, and the slavery controversy, end
ing with prediction that SO long rs the
cause for popular excitement existed, the ex-
element itself would continue.-BaH. SIN.

In a Bad Fix.

One Of our townsmen Mr.. Geo. W. billiard,
was involved i'll great danger at llarPer's
Ferry last week. lie had gone there on bust
ness on the day after the capture OF old Brown
and his party, and in walking alone in the
vicinity of the Ferry, enjoying the splendid
scenery with one OF the pixies in hand and
two or three blank commissions III his pocket
taken from the insurgents and which Gov.
Wise had given him the day before. he was
pursued and captured by an excited and furi-
Gus mob who were hunting for Cooke and
his party. Mr. billiard was Immediately
charged with being one of Cookies men, the
pike in his hand was satisfactory evidence;
and the cry was raised "shoot him, shoot
him." and half dozen loaded guns were
pointed at his breast. Fortunately Mr.. Dbl
lard retained his self possession 50 well that
the mob al last yielded TO his request that he
should be taken before the Superintendent
at the Ferry aud there be permitted to prove
his Innocence. Mr.. billiard says that it was
about the most trying half hour or more he
ever spent. We should think il Char

The Trade in Pictures.

A late trial in the United States Court Of
New York, discloses some important facts
concerning the trade in indecent and immod,
est pictures in the great commercial Gomor'
rah. 1t seems that within few years a
large business has sprung up in pictures:
numerous wealthy firms being engaged in 1t
and importing largely from France, say to
the amount Of several millions Of dollars
These pictures are sold to dealers in prints,
from all parts Of the country, who take them
home and dispense them among all classes in
the community through the retail trade.

Examining Bottoms Of Wells.

1t il not generally known, wsthink, how
easy matter it is to examine the bottom of
a well, cisterR, or pond Of water, by the use
of common mirror The New Hampshire
Journal of Agriculture says
"When the sun is shining brightly hold n
mirror So that the reflected rays of light will
fall into the water. \ bright spot will ie
seen at the bottom, SO light as to show the
smallest object very plainly. BY this means
re have examined the bottoms of wells fifty
feet deep, yhen halt full Of water. The
smallest straw or other small object can be
perfectly seen from the surface. In the same
way one can examine the bottom OF ponds
and rivers, if the water be somewhat clenr,
and not agitated by winds or rapid motion.
II well or cistern be under cover or shaded
BY buildiagS 50 that the sunlight will not
fall near the opening, we can employ two
mirrors, using one TO reflect the light To the
opening, another to send it down pcrpeNdicu-
larly into the water. Light may be thrown
fifty OF hun!red yards to the precise spot
desired, and then reflected downward. We
have used the mirrors with success to reflect
the light around field to a shaded spot, and
also to carry 1t from south window through
two rooms, and then i6so . cistern under the
north side Of the house Halfa dozen reilec-
tons Of the light may he made, though each
mirror dminishes the briiliancy the light.

RrPTrRE o9 THF iEART.-4 rare rase.--
Mrs. Saloma Schneider the wife Of an engi-
neer, yesterday awokein her usual good health
sud cheerfulness. Suddenly she was seen fall
tering in hsr gait, and presently to full on the
floor in half reclining position. She gasped
for breath once or twice and was corpse. A
postnortcm examination by DR.. Chas. spin
zig revealed most rare lesson; it was rent
in the heart, which allowed the blood con-
tanned in that organ to accumulate IN the
sac which invests the heart, and this also
was ruptured. She had, in physical sense
of the word, died heart broken, an express
sion only trus rhysiologically, for she was
greatly beloved by her husband, and they
lived happily together. Yhe coroncr's jury
returned verdict in accordance with the
revelations Of the post mortem-%. Inns

The critics, French and English, are now
finding out that John Buuyan's Pilgrims
Progress, was copied from some old French
manuscript-or some other old book-which
works i. is more than probable that Bunyan
never heard of. These ingenious gentlemen
can never rest satisfied to see the fame Of
any man established. They are always delv-
ing under ground, to destroy so~e glorious
superstructure. With them Shakespeare is
n myth, and Bunyan an impostor.

From Charleston.

HvRPERs FERRY, Dec. IL.
Various surmises have been indulged in
in regard to the attempted escape of Cook
and Uoppic. 1t is said Cook refused to tell
how he came by the knife, and also that he
had the countersign whereby he would
have been enabled to pass the sentinel
This however needs confirmation and is
hardly reliable.
Much indignation was experienced by
some of the headstrong in reference to the
officials Of the Jail, but a large majority of
our citizens express confidence in them,
and spurD the idea that they were bribed
by the friends Of Cook, The hole made in
the wall was q larger one, and the room
was in the I'd story.
Cook after his capture, said to gentle
man that they had done the best they could,
that life was as sweet to them as any one
else, and that they had planned it for ten
days. They had set Tuesday night for the
attempt, but it was deferred on account OF
their not wishing to compromise Gov. Will
lard, who was in town that night
The prisoners 0 onversed en- a variety OF
subjects yesterday morning. Cook said to
a gentleman who addressed him, that he
fully believed slavery to be sin; and that
in less than ten years, and by the people OF
Va. He was prepared to die in such a
cause; and thought he had done nothing to
regret as far as principle is concerned.
Coppic said that he feared the affair was
not ended yet that they had friends in the
North whe would not rest satisfied until
their lives had been avenged He hoped,
however, the affair would end here forever.
