THE HARPER'S FERRY OUTBREAK

A MAN INDICTED IN NORFOLK FOR sEDTIoN.
We learn from the Norfolk Herald, that the
Grand Jury of that city on Wednesday found
true bill of indictment against S. Daunenberg, a
ciothier of Norfolk. The first count charged him with
having used the words: "John Brown was good
man, and was fighting in good cause, and did no.
thing but what any other honest man would do;'
and the second count charged that he had uttered
the following expressions:
"John Brown was fighting in good causes;
(meaning that he was fighting in the cause of the
slave against the master; and that owners have no
right of property in their slaves; and said, that
Brown did nothing but what any other honest man
would do.''
Daunenberg had left the city, having received
intimation that he lad gotten himself into trouble
by his language. The case will shortly be called
for trial.
