Insurrection in Virginia.

Under the State head Of Virginia in
this paper, will Re found singular his
tory Of q plot by the famous Ossawata
mie Brown to excite a slave instruction
at Harper's Ferry. This il small post
village on the Potomac, about fifty miles
northwest Of Washington, and seventy
five miles nearly due west Of Baltimore.
According to the statement Of colorcd
man who accompanied him, the plan was
formed about two months ago, in Ohio,
BY Brown alone and it seems to have
been followed up by the greatest secrecy
and coolness, but at the same time with
SO few adherents as to make it certain
from the outset, that the attempt would
fail, and involve all connected with
it in certain destruction. It is hard
ly possible to conceive that any one
but madman could persuade himself
that with twenty men, he could excite a
successful slave lnsurroction yet such
was undoubtedly Browns plan. If his
purpose had been merely to run off a
number Of negroes into Pennsylvania,
he might have succeeded for the boun.
dairy line is only about twenty miles
distant from Harper's Ferry.
Brown was evidently madman. Some
years ago he visited New York. and We
are informed, shadowed forth with care
full secrecy to a few persons, plan Of
running off slaves from the near planta,
tions to tho Allegheny Mountains, where
they might form earthworks for defence,
and subterranean log forts, as points
d'appui from which to carry on further
operations. He was not successful 10
getting single person to approve his
object. He impressed those to whom he
addressed himself as visionary man,
whose brain had been morbidly affected

would attempt the mad schemes that he
was brooding over. But it i now cer-
tain that he has contemplated them for
two years or more.
There are two considerations proper
to be expressed in connection with this
unfortunate affair, viz: That has just
the degree Of importance that attaches
TO riot instigated by madman who
could persuade twenty other madmen
to join him; this j. the full extent Of
consequence to which he is entitled
The other consideration is that slave
insurrection Is not tamong the things that
can ever obtain any countenance with
tho people Of the Northern States. It
would seem absurd to advance this sec.
ond suggestion, but for the fact that
there are at tho South as mad on the
fancy Of Northern aggressions, Is ever
