says, when the ship was exposed to the waves of |
the Atlantic she rolled and dipped but with ease. |
The ship seemed to swing herself with a sidelong,
gentle mouon, over every wave, dropping deeply |
and easily beyond them, with a regular slow roll.

wheel out Of water. turning high and dry in the I
air. This motion of the vessel is attributed to her
very light immersion, and to the fact of her having
no upper weights to counterbalance the Goals |

degrees in ALL an every day amount to smaller yes

to be almost immovable by wind or sea. The
greatest speed attained over fifteen and half
knots, or close on eighteen miles per hour. The
run from Holyhcad to Southampton is pronounced
far more satisfactory than either of her previous
trips. The engines were under the sole control Of
Mr.. McLennan, chief engineer of the ship.

The EXCITEMENT IN vIRG1N1A.-The New York
Herald of the 21st publishes the following dis
patches:
Washington, Nov. 20, 1s59.-There is great ex-
citement here on account of the news from Charles
town and the neighborhood of Harper's Ferry,
Of the apprehension of further difficulties, if not
an attempt to rescue Brown and his fellow crimi-
mails.
The city was aroused from its usual Sabbath
y
special train, of 400 troops, with Gov. Wise,
from Richmond, and this afternoon by some hun
dred Others from Petersburg, en- route for Charles
town and the neighborhoOd.
Governor Wise had received dispatches of an ur-
gent character, showing the fears and disturbed
state of the community.
While the Governor did not think there was i'm
mediate danger of On outbreak, or an attempt at
rescuing the prisoners he deemed it prudent, in
consequence of the many acts of incendiarism, and
of the character Of intercepted hostile letters, to
take these precautionary measures
The most curious and significant result of this
excitement, showing how completely sectional it
has become, is seen in the public sentiment of
Washington. Northern men here, almost to a man.
either ridicule these movements and the sensitive
ness of the Southern people, or attempt to pallate
the conduct condition of the miserable criminals
at Charlestown; while Southern men are alarmed
and bitterly severe against the North. In fact,
crisis has been precptated by this Harpers Ferry
business, which must either rally the conservative
people of the North to their constitutional obliga-
tions and to good neighborhood towards the South,
or the noble fabric of the Union will be severed.
These are the views of the ablest, most conserva-
tive and highest men in Washington and through
out the South.
Washington, Nov. 10th, 1859. The Richmond
regiment and Governor Wise arrived at A. NJ,
and left for Charlestown in special train at TO- On
arriving there the troops will go into encampment,
and remain till after the executions. There is
nothing confirmatory of the rumor that body of
armed men has crossed the Ohio.
The extra train, with Wise and the First regi- |
ment, arrived at Harper's Ferry at 4:3O.
Baltimore, Nov. 20, ls59.-Governor Wise was
waited upon at the Washington junction by several
officers of the railroad, with whom he conversed
quite freely with regard to the excitement. The
Governor was understood to say in response to
suggestions that the rumors were probably un-
founded, that, though he might be regarded as
making unnecessary preparations for an enemy that
might not appear, yet in so grave a matter, and
with the clear and positive evidence in his posses
sion of the existence of an intention and an organ
ization to attempt rescue of the State prisoners
he preferred to have fifty times too many men to
having one too few, and the best way in his judg.
ment to prevent serious trouble was to fully pre-
pare to meet it, He did not for moment credit |
the idea that any armed force would boldly march
to the scene to undertake rescue, but he did be-
lieve that bad men were planning an attempt by |
gathering singly, or in pairs, to be readiness in |
case success would seem at all possible He was
informed that the property of three of the jurors
who condemned Brown had been burned within |
the past orty-eight hours, which impressed him
with the conviction that there were now emssaries
or accomplices in the vicinity of Charlestown.
Governor Wise further declared that, while it
would crafty him to find that no effort at rescue
would be made, and that his visit and cttendant
preparations were entirely precautionary, yet it |
would be believed useful to Virginia in the end, as
showing the alacrity with which her volunteers
responded to public call, and the and
promptness with which she could concentrate them
in force to maintain her laws or to eXpel the vo-
lent invasion of her soil.
