The following is from Washington dis
patch, dated October 22d:
Gov. Wise, in his Richmond sreech. saws
he has a bushel of Capt Browns correspond
ence, but not all of it. A carpet bag full was
taken to Baltimore and improperly used.
The letters in his possession proved that en-
inrAt men at the North were implicated in the
affair. Whether our sister States in the
North will allow such men to remain among
them unrebuked and unpunished remains to
be seen. Ifany one should smuggle off Ger
ret Smith some night, and bring him mere,
he would read him moral lecture and then
send him back home. lie had remained at
IIarpers Ferry to prevent the application of
Lynch law in Virginia. There was no ones
ton of Jurisdiction to be settled, as he had
mad up his mind fully; and after deternIn-
ing that the prisoners should be tried in Vir-
ginia. he would not have obeyed an order to
the contrary from the President of the Uni
ted states. This Kansas border ruffian made
IA great mistake as to the disposition of the
slaves to fy 10 his standard The Abolition.
lists cannot comprehend that they are held
among us by patriarchnl tenure.
The Governor urged the importance of or
ganizing a military force throughout the
the disgrace Of similar surprise.
1t is said that Governor Wise is not very
complimentary to the people of Harpers Fer
rv, imputing to them eowardice in allowing
such handful Of men to hold population
of nearly two thousand inhabitants prisoners
for "a hours. He also spoke of the fact of
eight or ten men keeping forty or fifty cit-
zens in confinement.
One replied, "Well, Governor, you must
remember we were packed together like
sheep" The Governor replied, "Yes, know
that, but must cay, think you acted like
sheep also"
The Valor of the People after the Panic.
Aspecial dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette
dated Harper's Ferry 2lst October, says:
The citizens here are not content with the
success of the United States Marines The
military spirit is high. Men of "valor" who
suffered the city and the United States Ar
mory to be occupied by score of adyentu
rers, are now tremendously brave. when
there is no danger and nobody to fight They
are enrolling volunteer corps to scour the
mountains, visit neghboriug towns, and keep
on the alert generally. To show that they
have "pluck," they arrested their own citi-
itorial examination that is not pleasant to
the aforesaid srangers nor creditable to the
bravery of these soldiers in peace and citi
zens in war"
The insurrectionary movement has been
effectualy suppressed, bat the people having,
as Governor Wise expressed it. "played the
sheep to admiration" are now as energetic
and brave as they were before apathetic and
cowardly. l would advise no small man
who has light hair and blue eyes to pas this
way. Every ear is inspected before it is al
lowed to pass. This imposition the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad will put stop to,
if it cares about its business.
