The most exaggerated notions prevailed o.

of the rising, and apprehensions OF danger
were entertained at Washington, .Acxandria
and other places.
After accomplishing their purpose of seii.-
ing the town and armory, the Insurgents a.

fifteen hundred negroes to join them, but
none came. Perceiving thus that the scheme
was failure, some negroes started north
ward, accompanied by white men. while the
rest remained behind to prevent pursuit
They entrenched and fortified themselves in
the armory, and the place was too strong to
be taken without artillery, which could not
be used against it for fear of killing the citi-
zens of the town held as prisoners there. -
They were dislodged from the railroad bridge
by the determined action of the tonnage
men from Martnsburg, whence they took
refuge in the armory. The insurgents were
required to surrender, but they would rot
whereupon the Marines attacked the armo-
ry, and after a desperate battle captured all
the insurgents, some Of whom were killed

CUNriDEScE BETRAYEp.--There is no
earthly trial so severe, as that the youthful

fidcnce betrayed. That such an experience

Ter it until all faith il nan is loss, we well

But, by the very sympashies that aie i'm
planted in our natures, by our longing for
implanted in our struggles and efforts, by
our need ca comfort in ou. SORROWS, ard of
sharers for our joys, we are still impeiled to
place in our fellows The confidence that has
been SO oftea betrayed. Again to know the
pangs of having been deceived where we
trusted
There ere few indeed whom va me- : Sale
ly trust. Thers are few who can under
stand and appreciate the revelations Of our
innermost lives. Better bury oil sacred
Thoughts in our own bosoms forever, ci utter
them only in he ears OF the angels Tho

expose them before profane eyes that will
look carelessly upon themy and to tho lips

TAMMANY TURNED ANrI-SLAvERY AT LAST
Who would have supposed that after struggling
for SO many years against the anti-slavery ele-
ment in this city and State, that Tammany would
succumb and fall into the embraces of the Mig
ger worshipper and the niger at last? The two
principal agitators in 1s48 who were conspicu-
Gus in denouncing the "slave oligarchy" are
now up for Office as the nominees Of Tammany
Hall. Havemeyer was a candidate on the Buff
falo antislavery platform for Presidential cleo
ton in 1s4s, and Tilden drew up the resolu-
tons denouncing the "slave oligarchy" which
are NOW the war cry Of the abolitionists and
black republicans. Can the commercial men
and those interested in the commercial pros
perity Of New York 60 for these men who raised
clamor against the "oligarchy?' Can they
present themselves in such despicable light
in the eyes of their compatriots and customers
of the Southern States?

among the anti-slavery States Of the North.
Judging from The November election, we had
supposed that this State was ut least doubtful,
and that its destiny still vibrated in the balance.
But the events Of the last few days force upon
us the conclusion that it is probably lost to the
cause Of the Union and the constitution, and
will be surrendered into the hands of William
H. Seward. New York was the Ur6s intacia,
the unconquered city, the great fortress of the
State, where its conservative strength lay. II
il should fail to-day before the assaults of
enemies without and treachery within, new
era will mark its history, and, indeed. from the
9th of December, 1859, will date a new epoch
in the history of the country. Great events
often spring from the most trivial causes.
Rome was once saved by the cackling Of geese,
and from farccal municipal election may
spring events which will control the destiny Of
this great confederation of States, and the
fate of untold, unborn millions Of the human
race The country is now in such q perilous
condition, and the power of the North on one
side, and the power of the South and its friends
on the other, are SO nicely balanced, that the
slightest movement may incline the beam to
either hand, and precipitate the fiuale of 1.-The
irrepressible conflict" Not only the republican
papers Of this city, but throughout the country,
look upon the contest as national. The Ohio
State Journal, the official paper of the republi
can administration in Ohio, so regards it and
says that this election, for the first time in seve
raj years, becomes interesting to the republi-
cans of the country" The Erening Post en-
dorses the remarks of the Ohio paper, and pro-
nounces ''the Mayoralty election to be ma
tional question" The New York Tribune of
yesterday declares that the election of Opdyke
as Mayor is taDtamount to the election of ".
II. Seward as President of the United States in
lS60-and the Tribune is right The republican
victory in this city, which is highly probable.
would be but "the beginning of the end" the
foregone conclusion of the triumph of Seward
and revolution, aud the Inauguration of fierce
and bloody civil war, the results of which to
this great commercial metropolis, and to every
city and State in the North, may well startle
the dullest imagination and appal the stoutest
heart. This municipal election farce, therefore,
may give birth to the greatest tragedy ever
performed on the stage of this world,

Fuss IN THE WRoNG DIREcTIoN.-The great
fuss among the contractors and jobbers, and
others, about the election, is got up to hide the
bad characters of the candidates for office, as
Aldermen, Councilmen and School Commits
sioners, the list of which is headed by two or
three indicted criminals, one of whom is under
indictment for stealing from the public trea-
sury; another has been just indicted for murder,
and another has been tried and convicted for q
felonious assault in house of prostitution, and
sentenced to four months Imprisonment, but
had judgment suspended in order that he might
be elected an Alderman Of New York It seems
to be an even question with the politicians of
Tammany whether to send a man for four
months to the penitentiary or for year to the
Common Council; in both instances like quail
6cations being required.
