required; an education free from contracted and anti
intellectual ideas, the ospringof Ignorance and SUI
perstition, her ordinary companion.
But knowledge Of science, the exercise of the
polite arts, will not suffice by themselves for COM

culcated in their young minds. The belief in one
God is as rational as it is necessary. Though the
rites by which we honor the Divinity differ as to form,
they prove one and the object, that is to offer

[From the Springfield Republican,
OLD JOHN BROWNS INsURREC.
TION IN VIRGINIA.

The most singular insurrection, or civil
war on small scale, ever recorded, has Just
been begun and ended in Virginia, almost
before the country had heard of it, and GER
tainly before it was understood. "Oid John
Brown" formerly citizen of Springfield, :,
and naturally quiet man, but crazed by the
murder OF two of his sons in Kansas, during
the miserable war of the administration upon
the free state settlers, took it into his head
that he could free the slaves of the south and
got up party of white men and negroes' =.
all told,-one account says there were pu'
four white men-ior the formidable u'iuo
taking. With folly that only an I,'S'in'
man could be guilty of, he maze ms nrs' at
tack of all sections OF the world In the north
eastern corner of Virginia, Wnere there are
not negroes enough to be vlslo e.
Rut his success was as extraordinary as
his boldness. This army of p men took
possession of the town of HTper's Ferry and
the armory there, apparently without resis-
tance, and held it from early Sunday morn
ing till Tuesday morning. What the may
or and p lice OF the city, the 200 or 800 al
morers, the government officers and 30GO or
1000 citizens were doing all this time does
not appear, unless they were shaking in
their shoes. They had sufficient courage.
however, to give the allr n, and Washington, /,
Baltimore and all Virginis were soon in the
widest state of excitement. Gov. Wise of
Virginia was en- his tape at once, and the
president OF the United States took precau-
ton to prevent the outbreak from reaching
the capital. On Tuesday several companies
of Virginia and Maryland militia ventured
into Harpers Ferry, shot some Of the insur-
gents and took the rest captive and thus
ended the work.
Cd Brown an his son are among the VIC
tins OF this strange and sad adventure. That
Brown should have found anybody To JON
him in this foolhardy expedition is very re-
markable. That the enterprise should have
accomplished such success and inspired
such terror is almost incredible. No nal Ia
ry exploit on record approaches it. Aud
notwithstanding the sad fate of those en-
gagged in 1t and the other lives lost, it has

PUGET's SoUND WIFE MARSET.-The Pu-
gets Sound Herald of August Goth has a
- feeling article on the scarcity o. women
in that region. We quote
But where there are no white women, what
are the white men to d02 Is a question that
has been often asked here. Occasionally we
hear of "A young man going to the States for
"A wife. or writing for one u come out. But
it Is not every young man who has female
acquaintances in the States, ot suitable age
or disposition for marriage. What are they
to do who unhappily have no femaleacQualnt-
anccs at all ? We hardly know what TO ad-
wise. except to wait patiently and blde their

men. well trained TO household d4rie~. with
no possible chance Of finding husbands at
home. Sooner or Later the yd- %, female
emigration will set in. Of this taHGr is no
uncertainty; it Is only a question o' time, but
that time We would hasten.
Among the female ".rsiu- classes in the
States there are som. w.o have means suih
cent 10 enable them Il come here, and we
trust such will come, and leave their places
to those more needy. How much better
IF they wlIil be here. as the wives of
wealthy and proSpering farmers. me-
chrnics, professional men and merchants,
than they are in their present posi-
ton. Their present position is one n de
signed for them by nature the sphere we
would have them occupy is that for which
they were created. Immediate employment
can he obtained throughout the Te rItori,
at profitable wages, by miliiEers, Or. -
makers. school teachers, saamstrts>es, laund-
re>ses, housemaidS, etc, etc. These pursuits
are all seeking heads and hands to follow
them here, at higher compensation than is
obtained even in California. We suggest
these occupations merely as temporary pro-
visions for the support Of strange females who
may come among US. Every town in the
Territory will sustain more or less of them in
the above pursuits.
OF the three thousand voters of Washing
ton Territory. it is safe to say that two thou
sand are desirous Of entering the matrimonial
state. Give them chance, and our word for
it, they won't t make long eourtships. By the
time these two thousand are disposed Of, we
shall have two or three thousand more. judg-
ing from tho large number of bachelors con-
stantly settling among US. Here Is the mar
ket to bring your charms to, girls. Don't
be backward but come right along, all you
who want good husbands and comfortable
homes, in the most beautiful country and
finest climate Of the world.
