CHARLESTON, VA, Oct. 3l.-The Court
met this morning. The prisoners were
brought, and the trial proceedad without
delay.
Brown looks better than heretofore, and
his health is evidently improving. He laid
on his bed as usual.
MIR. Griswold opened for the defense. tax.
ing up the several charges of the il dictment
replying to the points made in the opening
argument of the prosecution. He alluded
to the peculiar circumstances surrounding
the present case, and hoped the jury would
give it calm and dispassionate attention
divesting as far as possible their minds from
all prejudice, and disregarding outside infu.
ences. Let the prisoner have an impartial
trial under the laws of Virginia, and let
him be acquitted or convicted according to
these laws and the evidence given in the
case.
With regard to the charge of treason
brought against the prisoner, Mr.. G.. argued
that Brown could not be guilty of treason,
as he was not citizen of this Common.
wealth, and none but citizen of the Com
mOnwealth could commit treason, never
having sworn allegiance to Virginia, he
could not be rebel against her authority.
+. He was also charged with levylng war
against the State, but the evidence given
did not support the charle. There was a
great difference between levying war and
resisting authority by men who are congre-
gated together to perpetrate crime, and have
their rules and regulations; when they are
assailed they defend their lives to the utmost,
sacrificing their own, and intending to sacri.
flee the lives of others but that is resisting,
not levying, war.
He would not shrink from The admission,
and the prisoner had openly admitted it,
that those men came tor the purpose of
running away slaves. That was a crime
under the laws of Virginia for which the
prisoner was answerable to punishment to
the extent of those laws In carrying out
that purpose he temporarily took possession
of the arsenal at Harper's Ferry, while
there attempts were made to arrest him.
Mr.. G.. had no complaint to make about
that, but it was in resisting these attempts
that his blood was shed and the lives taken,
and not 10 levying war against the State.

much regret was expressed by citizens at its
occurrence.
After being out an hour, the jury in the
case of Coppice, returned with a verdict
declaring Coppice guilty on all the counts
in the indictment.
His counsel gave notice of motion to
arrest judgment, as in Browns case.
The court then adjourned.

SECOND DISPATCH.

SECOND DISPATCH.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 2.---In the Sixth Ward
the Reformers were driven off at an early
hour. The son of the Hon. Joshua Van
SAINT was beaten while he was attempting to
vote. Several shots were fired, but nobody
was hurt.
The First, Second and Fourth Wards are
also in possession of the rowdies, to the total
exclusion of all who oppose them.
In the Twentieth Ward, the rowdies are
knocking down and beating whom they
please, the police offering no protection to
citizens. The rowdies have brought swivel
on the ground.
In the Twelfth and Sixteenth Wards, a
gang of rowdies from Washington, fully
armed, are aiding the Baltimore Roughs.
The indications are that the Reformers as
general thing have abandoned the contest,
finding it impossible to vote without risking
their lives.
In the Fifteenth Ward a boy has been
MORALLY wounded by shot in the breast.
There is much talk in the street among
the citizens of the propriety of establishing
a Vigilance Committee.

THE REIGN OF TERROR

BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.-The State election
is now progressing. There is great strug.
gle in all the wards of this city, as far as
heard from. The polls Of the Third Ward
are blocked by rowdies, and the police are
doing nothing to hinder them. In the Tenth
Ward, the Reform Judge of Election was
inundated and compelled to leave his post.
Hinsley was appointed by the acting Mayor
and rejected by the Councils-he has been
reappointed. The Reformers have been
driven off,
James LETTERS, son of Madison Jeffers,
was shot in the side and beaten over the head
by the Reformers.
In the Fifth Ward, Adam B. Kyle, Jr.,
merchant, doing business at No. SO uano-
yer street, and Reformer, has been shot in
the temple, and is in dying condition. His
brother, George H. Kyle, who came to his
rescue, was also shot and is dangerously in.
jured.
Judge Giles, of the United States District
Court, met sheriff Cramer in the street, and
told him in decided terms that he was to be
held accountable for all the blood shed here
to day. He also told him as Judge and a
lawyer, that he had authority, and it was
his duty to interfere.
In the Eighteenth Ward the rowdies took
possession of the polls and gave the Reform
ers notice to quit. Felix McCurdy was
badly beaten.

THIRD DISPATCH.
BALTIMORE, P. M.--Mr. VIM. F. Pres.
ton, the Democratic candidate for Congress,
is now lying at Barnum's Hotel, badly beat
en- about the head with billy. The outrage
is said to have been committed in the Sew
enth Ward.
In the Eleventh Ward, which is the strong
hold of the Reformers, Mr.. George McGill,
a prominent Reformer, made speech, and
announced the withdrawal of Mr.. Thomas
candidate for Attorney General. The Re-
formers then withdrew, finding it impossible
to accomplish anything.

LATER,

LATER
Evening.-Adam B. Kyle, who received
pistol ball in the temple, this morning, at
the election poll in the Fifteenth Ward, was
reported dead at two o'clock, but he was
still alive an hour SIEGE, though his case is
hopeless as the ball is buried in his brain.
At three o'clock, DR.. Robinson, of the
Central Reform Committee, visited the polls
in the Eleventh Ward and announced that
the Reformers bad been driven from every
ward except that and the Eighth, and he
therefore counselled the Reformers to with
draw, to avoid further bloodshed. Doctor
Thomas, the Reformer Judge, retired, and
the contest was abandoned.
The Reformers throughout the city took
the same course, leaving the polls in posses
sion of the dominant party.
Numerous reports are afoat with regard
to minor outrages on the rights of the clti-
zens in the several wards.
In the Second Ward, Charles Barkard,
German, was shot in the hip.
In the Fifth Ward, an unknown man was
dreadfully beaten.
In relation to the assault upon Mr.. Pres.
ton, the most reliable report is that it occur
red at Govanstown, in the Ninth District of
Baltimore county. One account says that
the assailant was an Irishman but it is diff
fcult to arrive at the truth, with so many
conflicting reports.
This evening the streets are near deserted,
except by the victorious party. The stores
were generally closed at dark.
The proprietor of the Exchange having
been threatened with an assault upon his
office, has made demand on the city aulho-
rites for protection.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 2, 10 P. M.-The
Americans are rejoicing over their victory
in the city. The Reformers, however, deny
thht anything that can be called an election
has taken place.
1t will be late before any returns of the
vote can be obtained, as there was large
number of officers voted for, and all on one
ticket.
In the Seventeenth Ward it is reported
that the average vote for the American
ticket is 800. The highest vote on the Re-
form ticket is only "a.
