The extent of this inquisitious plot cannot
be estimated by the number Of men detected
and killed or captured at Harper's Ferry; the
localities from whence these men came-from
New England, from Iowa, from Ohio, from
Kansas shoU an extent OF fcount,y embracing
the aohole Northern section of the Un,on, as
sno0l0ed in the attempt 10 insligdte serU.le
insurrection in Virginia. Alarming as is
the fact that so extended conspiracy has
been detected, a yetmore serious circumstance
is presented in the amount of pecuniary means
at the disposal of these leaders. The Southern

equired considerable sum of money to
purchase, and which sum must have been
aised by the voluntary contributions of the
