According to the best Democratic authority
the following points have been decided, and ar,
mainte'ned by the Supreme Court Of the U. s.
~ The bred Scott case:
list. That slavery exists in, or may be car
fled into al the Territories by virtue of the
Constitution Of the United States
I'd. That the people of a Territory, though
unanimous in their opposition to the "institu
ton" have no right to prohibit it, prior to the
formation of a State Constitution
Sd. Jhatuo Territorial Legislature has the
power opsshibit slavery in the Territory for
which 30 acts.
4th. Thai Congress has no power to prohibit
slavery in sny Territory; and therefore, that
thSIifgsosi Compromise was unconstitutional.
We have said this is the decision as held by
the highest Democratic authority. The Demo>
cratic organ Of the administration at Washing
ton, has The following commentary on the bred
Scott deeision:
y Zone Of Inc great merits Of the bred Scott de-
cision, Is D total extinguishment it gives to the
dogma Of Squatter Sovereignty in the Terrific

any origIns jurisdiction or legislative authority
in tho Territories and asserts that all authori-
ty therein is dcT5UgtlCs, coming from 10iLh0R and
rot inherent IN its Inhabitants or tribunals"
a similar view Of the bred Scott decision,
is taken BY the leading Democratic admins
tratioa 0usaals throughout the country. Such
is the view taken BY Buchanan in his Lecomp-
ton Message. The Squatter Sovereignty Dem
ocrats Of Wisconsin, who deny this exposition
ofthe Orod Scott decision, are simply fragmen-

Personal Appearance and History of
OsaWattomle Brown, the Leader of the
Harper's Ferry Insurrection

In person, Brown is about five feet
eight inches in height. He has short
grey hair, and diversifes his appearance
with iron grey whiskers moustache to
suit the exigencies Of his situation. His
appearance is that of intense peaceful.
ness combined with hopeless verdancv
To the casual observer, he is the most
inoffensive man that could be met with
in days ride through Arcadia. His
rural exterior has enabled him to pass
through scores of perils, where his life
would have paid the forfeit of his dis
covery. 1t is believed by many ofthose
who knew him in Kansas, thatthe butch
cry of his son Frederick made him a
monomaniac ON the subject of slavery,
and that he had made a vow to wreak
a great revenge on the system of socie-
ty which had wrought so deep wrong
on him. But Brown himself repudiated
this idea, contending that revenge was
no part ofhis composition, and claiming
to be guided strictly by the principles
of Holy Writ. He seems to have been
laboring under religious halluoination
W lHC S1ISCG 1udG lie was Gn0 appointed
instrument of the Almighty for putting
an end to human slavery What time
he and his handful of men in Kansas
were not marching or fighting, they
were praying or singing psalms Brown
himself passing many hours in wrestling
and secret prayer. His evident hallu-
cination caused all the clear headed
men in Kansas to avoid him, or to have
as little to do with him as possible. The
same feeling made him dreaded by
the Missourians as supernatural being.
His name inspired the same terror on
the border, as the ''Nick of the Woods"
among the Indians Of Kentucky, or that
of the Cid among the Moorish hordes
of Spain. 1t was a name to tighten
children to bed with. No further evil
dence of his insanity could be required
by a commission de lu2antjco than the
the late hair-brained moyment at Har-
per's Ferry-an act which VIM. Lloyd
Garrison or Wendell Phillips would
pronounce sinful waste of life.

The Capture of scE,aw,vs.

''Iieutenant Colonel Grade, who arriv-
ed yesterday from the Caucasus. has
brought details of the capture of Scha-
myl. Having been sent off by Prince
Boriatinski from Gounib a few minutes
after the surrender of the Imam, he has
brought no written details, but has given
a verbal account of events to the En-
peror. The following is correct version
of the affair. "After numerous defeats,
Schamyl as last resource, shut him
self up with 400 Murides who remained
faithful to him, in the Notifications of
Gounib. Gounib is fortified strong
hold, on very elevated ground, of large
extent. On three sides the rocks are
perpendicular; the only other side was
deemed impregnable, and it was sup.
posed that handful of determined men
could have defended it for months
against any odds. "Prince Bariatinski
ordered the attack to be made on both
sides at once. The attack commenced
on the 18th of September. While the
chief attack was made on the only acces-
sible side a number of men, who volun-
teered, scaled the rocks. The enemy
was taken by surprise. A fearful stlug-
gle ensued. The resistance was most
determined. OF the 400 Murides in
Gounib only At remained alive. Five
guns were captured.
Schamyl retired to a house cut out in
in the solid rock. The plateau was GOV.
cred with corpses, We have lost more
than 100 men. Prince Bariatinski, who
had oomeuP summoned Schamyl to sur.
render, and ordered his men to cease
firing. The Imam asked upon what con
ditions.
Come out without conditions" said
the Prince.
Schamyl came out, and the Prince me t

snsurrection at EEarper's Ferry.

During the last ten days, the columns of many
of the newspapers have been largely occupied
with accounts of the Insurrection at Harper's
Ferry. 1t appears that company consisting
of seventeen white men and five negroes, took
possession of the United States Arsenal at Har-
per's Ferry, Virginia, and for a short time held
control of the entire town, consisting of some
1000 inhabitants. The Insurgents were led or
by Old Captain Brown, formerly of Kansas,
known more generally by the name of "Ossa-
wattome Brown" Old Captain Browns son
was murdered by the Border Ruffians in Kansas
during the Missouri invasion, and ever since
that time he has been taking vengeance on the
Shareholders whenever an opportunity offered.
On the seizure of the Arsenal by Capt, Brown
the report was Immediately spread of a concer-
ted ms urrectionary movement of the slaves
of the State of Virginia and Maryland
this, Of course, produced the widest excite
ment through that region. President Buchanan
ordered out the United States troops, and had
them marched to the scene of the disturbance
Gov. Wise, of Virginia, issued a proclamation
to the militia, and the State of Maryland took
measures for immediate defence.
The insurgents were attacked by the troops
and fifteen of their number killed and some of
the balance wounded. This was certainly
bold and fool-hardy undertaking, and had Capt.
Brown been in his right mind,,h could have ex-
pected nothing but certain destruction, That
the excitement in Virginia and Maryland sho'd
have reached such an intensity, is not strange
the large slave population in the counties in the
vicinity of Harper's Ferry, Every naturally gives
a feeling of insecurity to the white population
under any circumstances: This instance of in
surrecton furnishes marked contrast between
southern and northern institutions. Had twen-
ty-two men undertaken to get up rebellion in
a northern city or village they would have been
crushed out at once, without rallying two States
and the United States Government. But in the
south no man feels his home secure; the pres
ence of slavery is constant source of fear
hence every outbreak however small, spreads
general CONSERVATION.
