the announcement of a terrible calam-

the night of the 26th ult., and of foul

Where she sailed from or where she

she was an emigrant ship coming tt

Federal Jurisdiction.

Some of the best legal minds of the
country aver that the State Of Virgin
ia has no right TO try Brown and his
confcderatcs. The offences charged
upon them were committed acithtn tie
groun2s ofMe United States GorerAmcnt
at IIarprr's Ferry, and the jurisdiction
of the Federal Government over the
premises has been fully recognized 10y
the State of Virginia. This question
AS to Harper's Ferry was before the
law officer of the government in 1854
(Ion. c. Cusling) and he delivered
an able opinion, covering this whole
question, which is regarded as the
exposition of binding and reasoned
law. \ legal correspondent quotes
largely from Mr.. Cushiug's opinion,
and appends thereto the following
statement:
These were we'll considered opinions
10y the legal officer of the government,
made under no pressure Of public SEN

elaborate examination of authority
and the most thorough reflection OF
principle and they come, be it re.
mcmbered, from one who may be said
without hyperbole, to have added
more honor to the great Office of At
torney General than all others who
have held the office united, one who is
without exaggeration fairly reputed
the greatest public lawyer in this
country. 1t is rumored that so firmly

there expressed, that he is not unwil

Jefferson p Kiddcr, a Democratic
advcnturcr from Randolph, VT, has
been elected delegate to Congress
from Dacotah Territory The way he
did it was to take dozen jolly fell
lows in wagon with him and travel
over the territory, opening the polls
and voting wherever they had occa
sion to camp out for the night, or STOP
to cook dinner by the way side
We knew jefferson in former days
and he is doubtless the same wag now
that he was then. Hope he will have
a good time at Washington. BY the

In 1855 the Republicans had only

RIcHMoSD, Va, Oct. 20, 1859.
MADAM-Yours of the Goth was re.
ccived by me yesterday, and at my
earliest leisure respectfully reply to
| it, that | will forward the letter for
John Brown, prisoner under our laws,
arraigned at the bar of the Circuit
Court for the county Of Jefferson, at
Charlestown, Va, for the crimes OF
murder, robbery and treason, which
you ask me to transmit to him
will comply with your request in the
only way which seems to me proper,
by enclosing it to the Commonwealth
attorney, with the request that he will
ask the permission of the Court to
hand it to the prisoner. Brown, the
prisoner, is now in the hands of the
ljudiciary-not of the executive Of this
! Commonwealth.
You ask me, further, to allow you
to perform the mission " of mother OF
sister, to dress his wounds and speak
soothingly to him" By this, of course
you mean to be allowed to visit him
in his cell and to minister to him il
the Offices of humanity. Why should
you not be SO allowed, Madam? Vir
ginia and Massachusetts are involved
in no civil war, and the constitution
which unitcs them in one contedcracy
guarantees to you privileges and i'm
munitics of citizen of the Unitct
States in the State of Virginia. Tha

and am, therefore, bound to protcc

purpose.

1t is well known to most of the cit,
liens of Iowa that Mr.. Barker, of Du
buque, has been engaged for the last
two years, (by authority of the Legis-
laturc, in preparing a new Code for
the State. We have it upon good au-
thority that this system Of Barker's,
which is to be accepted or rejected
by the next General Assembly, will
entail an untold amount of litigation
upon the citizens of Iowa, and ought
to be promptly voted down by oul
law makers when il comes before
them--however much its rejection may
conflict with the pecuniary interests
of the legal fraternity. This question
should be looked into by the people,
and if found as here represented, the
Legislature should be memorialized by
all the people, Qawyers, of course
excepted,) to defeat the attempted
fraud.

ed thirty pounds.
The prairies in Nicolct county have
lately been burned over, destroying
an immense quantity of hay, several
barns filled with grain, and greatly
endangcring the residences OF farmers
The St. Cloud Democrat says there
is great scarcity of laborers in that
vicinity considerable building is go
ing on in st. Cloud, and the farmers
are in want of help. 1t says that ev-
cry one who can and will work has as
much as he can do, and at rcmunera-
tive wages ; while more work would
be done if there were hands to do it.

Bracket & Eustis, of Minneapolis,
are engaged in building eight large
ice boats, which they intend to load

The Cause and its Consequences.

The attempt of Brown at Harpers
Ferry was mad and fanatical, and
such every rational mind must con-
slider it, originating with him alone,
hence the righteousness Of those
charges circulated by men for politi-
cal purposes who must know they are
dcfaming the character Of those pub
lie men who have proved that they
have had no completely with Brown,
whatever yet the slanderers refuse
to retract. The following facts solve
the mystery conclusively as to the dcs-
peration to which Brown was driven,
more than columns of argument.
Persecution drives men mad" The
history of the provoking causes OF
Browns Kansas career are thus sta
ted by the Cleveland Herald:
John Brown had son, e. p. Brown
who, near Easton that winter c55-6
was taken prisoner by the Missouri
ruffians, and confined in q store. Their
it was an express visited Fort Lcavcn
worth, and begged that United States
troops might go to the spot and save
Brown from being murdered. That
was refused too, in compliance with
positive orders from Washington.
What followed? Capt. Z. P. Brown
was helpless and alone in the power
of the pro-slavery men that band OF
ruflians struck him, and he rose and
asked to be permitted to fight the best
man among them-he would fight for
his life-but the towards dared not
give him that chance. Brown theI
dared any two or three Of them to tight
him, but the towards would not com
ply with that request.
Then the ticnds in human shape
rushed upon the unarmed, defenceless
Brown, and actually hacked him t.
pieces with their hatchets A slave
holder, named Gibson, dealt the fata
blow, burying Ratchet in the side o
Browns head, splitting his skull fol
inches and scattering his brains
Brown fell, and his enemies jumped
upon him while dying, Brown criet
out "Don't kill mel am dying ,
and one of the Pro-Slavery wrctches
since lien awarded aciM a commission a
United States Marshal stopped owe
the PROSTATE man and spit tobacct
juice in his eyes.
Thus died Capt L. P. Brown-a Ere
State martyr--the son of John Brow
known as Ossawattomie Brown.

From the ST. Paul Nonefotlan, Oct 20
Pembina Heard From.

The Red River stage from the sci,
kirk Settlement and Pcmbna, arrived
in st. Paul last evening, bringing us
the intelligence, that at the celebrated
prccinct Of It. Vincent, opposite Fem
bina, no election whatever was held.
Joe Rulrttc was absent up at 81. Jo-
seph, 80 miles westward, III Dakota
Territory, on election day, endeavor-
inc to induce the people there to come
down and vote at st. Vincent but
they refused to leone down" On
the evening Of that day, however, he
and James McFetridge, the Z. S. Gus
tom House Officer at Pembina, i'll Da'
kota, got together and did up the
usual forgery Of returns, setting fortl!
that the Democratic ticket got PA
votes, and the Republican ! vote !!
We obtain our information, in part
from the stage driver, and in part
from passengers, British officers from
Fort Garry.
This forgery at st. Vincent, (wher'
not a soul lives) they report, was
matter of laughter and fun all along
the Red River The forged return
was forwarded by the forgers throug
a special messenger, a hali-breed, VIII
overlook the stage as he was on IN
way to the "Ottertail Canvass" where
though it would not affect the rcsu
in the State, its being counted migt
be necessary to elect Taylor, Dem
State Senator, over Potter, Republ
can.
Mr.. Hunt, the agent of the Repu|
lican State Committee appointed
watch this st. Vincent Poll, is on Ii
way to St. Paul and will be here
a day or two with the proper affidavit
showing the facts to be as above st
