There was a considerablAmount of money deposited there, but it was undisturbed.
 Brown, when supposed to be dying, said his object was to free the slaves from bond age-that no other persons than those about him were connected with the move iitit, anu tiidL uItt uOI cA JctJ dltt rom the north The foregoing was said in reply to questions asked him. Heinsisted that what he had done was right and that he ought to be treated as prisoner of war. On last evening a party of mariners and volunteers visited Browns house and found a large quantity of blankets, shoes, clothes, tents, and fifteen hundred bikes with large blades affixed. Documents were found which indicated that the notifications of this movement extended through seveal states; also letters were found from several northern individuals-one from Fred Doug lass, containIg ten dollars, from a lady, for the cause A letter, from Garret Smith, in relation to money matters, contained a check, ordraft from Smith for one hundred dollars indorsed by the cashier of one the New York banks.

The number of killed and wounded and five taken prisoners taken at Harper's Ferry, is thus estimated: fifteen of the insurrectionists and five citizens were killed, three of the insurrectionists were wounded and five taken prisoners.

 Hd,per's Ferry, Oct 20-It was reported last night that the abolitionists were mur- dering the people at Sandy Hook and that about three hundred women and children had left for Harper's Ferry, for protection. A party of marines were immediately dis patched to Sandy Hook and found the place quiet 1
 Baltinaors, Oct, '21-Gapt Brown, in conversation yesterday, in the presence of Senator Mason, the Hon. Charles J Fauk- ner, of Virginia, and the Hon. c. L. Val landigham, of Ohio, and others, answered all questions propounded to him. He clearly demonstrates the complicity of persons in the North western and Eastern States. He refused to answer whether he had conferred with Giddings, of Ohio, | about the Virginia expedition. He admit ted that he had numerous sympathizeIs in all of the free States.
