Our Eastern exchanges give an account Of an
insurrectionary movement Al Harper's Ferry Ia
Virginia, headed BY Capt. John Blown Of X tnsas
notOristy. who has resided In the vicinity some
twelve months under the cognomsn Of "I,ill
Smith. " The disturbance began on Sun day
Oct. i6, at I9IISS p. M, and was qneIlsd BY Tues
day morning, but resulted in the death Of fifteen
Of the insurgents, and six Of tho citizens, besides
three insurgents wounded and FIVE prisoners.
brown received nine wounds, but al last ae,
counts was considered out os danger; his two
sons were killed.. AT the time the disturbance
commenced the Insurgents did not excefd hftys
whites and negroes, but, such was the excite
msnt produced on the inhabitants of the place in
finding themselves prisoners, the bridge guarded
By armed men, and a guard stationed At all the
public avenues, that the force soon increased 10
between 1--WE and sir hut dred. At one time the
Insurgents bud no less than sixty prisoners Ac-
cordfng to Information cleaned from Capt,
Blown II appears that he hal good reason 10 ex-
pect endorsements from Maryland Kentucky,
North and South Carolina and Canada, and that
he was ably sustained BY numerous persons Of
high standing In the Northern, Western and
Eastern States. He stated that he had arms
sufficient for fiji zen hu tdred men, also an abund-
ancs Of ammunition: Scouts were out in search
Of Capt Cooke, one Of Browns principal men,
for the capture Of whom Gov. Wise offered re-
ward Of $1,000. He was taken prisoner on the
18th. The preliminary examination Of Brown
and tho other Harper Ferry conspirstors took
place At Charlsstown on Oct. 25ihi the prisoners
were remanded for trial before the Clrcult Court
% the 26th inst. the Grand Jury reported a true
bill against each Of the prisoners, a. follower
First For consPiIing with negroes to produce
insurreclion. Second: For treason 10 the Com
monwealth; and, Third: For murder. Brown
psiitioned for postponement Of trial Ia eonse-
qasnce Of physical and mental debility, which
was not granted, 40 the people Of the whole
country are in a state Of grest excitement, and !
large armed force d Isquired 10 prevent attempt,
at rescue. On the eighth day OF the trial Capt
John Brown was pronounced guilty and sentenced
to be hung in public on Friday, Dec, 2nd. HI
heard his sentence pronounced without syinciue
the slightest emotion. II Is evident he consider,
himself a martyr, sacrificed In the cause Of anti.
slavery. He stated to the court that he had do.
signed to free slaves; he had done so on SINAI
scale, but had thought 10 do 80 on largel
scale. He said he was yet too young to under.
stand that God was respeeter Of persons; b.
believed thai to have inierfered as lie had done
nbshslt Of Gods despaed poor, was not wrong
but right. The trial Of the other conspiratori
had not terminated at our last Eastern dates
