claims upon such an institution we're established
long ago. Indeed, what sane act has be ever
done He has been a skillful architect in
building up the system against which he has
driven the most vigorous assaults Setting up
his own standard Of right, and forgetting that
naked individuality is nothing unless IN blend

followers patiently into the hostile camp, aud
gave victory where he should have caused de-
feat. A member of Congress during the strug-

---The citizens Of Conneaut have by several
depulaiions laid their grievances before the
President Of the Company aud appealed for
relief, and their hope is thu. when the Board Of
Directors meet, and the matter shall be laid be-
fore them, some favorable action uay result
The claims OF these deputations, as we under
stand, are, that the Company should include
them IN the accommodation, although the re-
ceipts should not be sufficient to meet the ex-
penses Of such ccommodation-that the true
policy, and the interest felt by Conneaut and
Kingsville IN common with other towns along
the line in the welfare Of the Company, were
matters that seem TO forbid that they should be
held for on individual remuneralive traffic. This
argument is met by the reply that the tendency
Of such policy would be to fritler away the
revenue Of the company, and If justihable at
al, could only be so when the octual loss re.
sulting from such accommodation, was much les:
appreciable than in this case The force of thi;
reply, supported by figures, it was found diff
cult meet. The gentlemen Of the dcputatiou.
were unprepared for the facts in the case, wbcr
reduced to the figures of receipts and expenses
Aglance at them, perhaps, would not be i'm
proper n this place. The very lowest estimated
expenses Of running the Conneaut train was 4C
cents per mile. This is FIVE cents a mile less
than is deemed fair estimate. TO meet this
the receipts of the traffic was rot over 10 cts
showing loss of some 80 cents a mile. i
these estimates are correct, they would seem to
lessen at least the cause for bad feeling towards
the road and its officers, in consequence of The
new arrangement.
The receipts from passenger traffic for the
year 1858 at the several way stations named
below, are as follows:

The PANIC AT CnARLEsTwoN and Harpers
Ferry, Va, still continues, and Monday Gov.
Wise passed through Washington on his way to
the scene of excitement, at the head of body
of troops. At Washington the whole affair was
considered hoax, and that there was no found
alton whatever for the reports which had been
put 10 circulation. Still Gov. Wise went on,
saying that if the reports were uulounded Vir-
ginisDs would receive military experience, and
thus be better prepared for an invasion than
they were when Harper's Ferry was captured by
Brown and his awkward squad 1t is now re-
ported that all the recent panic was caused by
the burning of barns as well as the wheat stack
which startled Col Davis So 1t is also stated
that letter, in cypher, from Urbana, Ohio, to
John Brown, telling him TO keep in good spirits
that his friends were mastering, and would drop
sloRg one by one, had been found; and further,
that bodies Of armed men had crossed the river
near Wheeling. These reports reaching Col.
Davis he again rushed TO the telegraph Office,
AID called upon the Governor for 500 more men.
The Governor forthwith put himself at the head
o. that number Of men aud started for Charles
town. A dispatch from Wheeling, however,
states that not single armed nan has crossed
the river anywhere near that place. Col Davis
Announces that he has now made preparations at
Harper's Ferry to receive any number Of men
that may call there. Another dispatch says
that instead of fires being the cause of the ex
citement it all grew ou. of story told by mar
named Smith Crane who said be had overheard
a conversation in which it was stated that 0
band of 500 men was organized to release Brow
and bis companions. But thus far not one o
the band of 500 men, nor Of those whose con-
vsrsation was overheard has been met with

FoREIGN.-By the steamer Canada, which
arrived at Sackville on Saturday, we have
Liverpool dates to the 5th, being three days
later than those by the Hungarian. The
Hon. Chas. Sumner and Gen. Van Rensse-
laer and lady are passengers. 1t is assert
ed that England will join the European
Congress, and also that France and Eng
land were completely agreed on q basis for
the settlement Of the Italian question:
Further details of the recent great gale on
the English coast are given. The trip Of
of the Great Eastern from Holyhead to
Southampton was regarded as much more
satisfactory than either of the other expert
mental trips. The organization Of the
French army for China is considered as be-
ing definitely settled, and preparations for
its embarkation have commenced. The
cholera had broken out among the French
troops destined to invade Morocco, and
fifty per day died of it, A vague report
is circulated that Garibaldi at his inter-
view with the King of Sardinia, declared
that Italy had been betrayed, and that he
would head a revolution. The King pro-
tested against such a course. The state
ment is reiterated that the Pope will grant

"Thc Irrepressible Confilct."

There were rumors at Harper's Ferry, on
thursday of last week, that 250 men armed
with rifles were encamped at Berrvsyille, near
Charlestown, meditatiug the rescue Of the
insurgent prisoners. A messenger was sent
to Churlcstown to ascertain the truth as
to this improbable report. Meanwhile
there was great excitement at the Ferry
and armed guards were patroling the streets
and roads. A despatch from Col. Davis,
the marshal at Charlestown, to Gov. Wise,
requested the despatch thither of two COM
panies of cavalry, stating that FIVE barns
and OuthouseS had been fired on Thursday,
10y Browns sypathizers, as was supposed.
The messenger from Harpcr's Ferry to
Charlestown, Thursday evening, was detan.
ed outside of Charlestown by the guard for
nearly three hours before he was allowed to
pass, aud when he got into the alarmed vii.
lage, he was kept till o'clock Friday morn
ing before he was allowed to return. All
this time HarpePs Ferry was in terrible sus-
pense. a very large fire had occurred four
niles from CharlestUwn and the military
were ordered out, expecting an attack from
somebody, but none was made.
A meeting was called at tie fremont TEN.
p {, Boston, last " eek, fer sympathy anu
aid to John Browns family, at " lich Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Wendell Phillips, john A.
Andrew, Rev. George II Hepworth and
Rev. Jacob NJ. Manning were advertised 10
speak. Twenty-Five cents admission won
be charged and the proceeds to be given Q
John Browns family.
DIR. Palmer, the alleged Sympathizer with
Brown at Memphis, Tenn, has obtained
bail in the sum Uf $4,000, and is released
from custody.
The Richmond Dispatch suggests that
the Virginia legislature enact law empow-
eriug every captain of militia to try men
taken in the act of exciting iuSurrection
and hang or shoot them on the spot. If
this course had been taken with old Brown,
it says, there would not have been such u
fuss over him, aud he would not have been
gloriied as martyr. The Wheeling In
teligencer continues to ridcule the excite
ment and extravaganza of the Richmond
papers. 1t says:
1--WE are sorry TO see the Richmond Wing
take on as it does about the Harpers Ferry
business, Its as bad as the Enquirer, and the
Enquirer is crazy. 1t jumps in the traces like a
scared mustang. From having been mild, gentle
and liberal opposition like. this good while back,
its gone clear back the world, the flesh and
the devil again, like the converted niger when
bis pl low struck the stump. Among other things
the Whig thinks it is about time that all such
people as pedders aud vagraut tourists were
walked over the borders of the state, by gen.
eral clearance edict. Then what we want to
know? Build high stone wall, with gates in
it, we suppose, and take in visitors blindfolded,
after the style Of the pig-tailed celestials. And
all for fear somebody has business with Cufey.'
