Confession Of Cook.

Cooks confession, written by himself, fills
twenty .one pages of fooscap. 1t was read in
Court by Prosecutor Hunter, and is jealousy
guarded, for purposes to be hereafter developed
The Chsrlestown Tribune correspondent writes
that the confession threw comparatively little
new light on the Harper's Ferry affair and adds
IL was mostly record Of Cooks personal
experience. 1t related how he first became ac-
quainted with Brown in 1856, Just after tho
battle Of Black Jack; how he was induced to
Join Brown to cooperate with him in his la
bors tor securing the freedom OF Kansas; how
certain expeditions for reseuing slaves from
Missouri, and setting them free in Canada, were
accomplished and similar de ails equally rrel-
evant. The mole important portions were
those which told of the Convention held in
Canada at which the well-known constitution
was framed; Of the military training under
Stevens, which Browns party went through,
altering their original intention, which was to

exploration of Jefferson County, Va under
Browns directions, to prepare the way for tue

Gerrt Smith, Fred Douglass, Or. s. G.
Howe and others, were mentioned in the con-
fession, but not in the way to deeply mplicate
them. Their connection with Brown involved,
however, the presentation OF pistols, money,
DC Cook said that the time OF the invasion
would have been different but for the iDfoma-

the confession does not bear very strongly
upon the case, and It is the opinion of the
Court that Cook has withheld the greater part
OF his knowledge. For certain reasons the pa.

A Procedent for the Hnrper's Ferry Affair
The capture Of the United States Arsenal at
Horper's Ferry was not unprecedented even in
our recent history. On the 4th of December,
1853, Captain Leonard, of the United States
Army, had charge oftho United States Arsenal
at Liberty, Missouri. Judge James v. Thomp-
son, Of that State, asked of the Captain perms'

of Missourians, numbering more than Browns

DEFENCEs OF New YoRK,-Major Barnard,
in his late report on the Harbor defences of
New York, says that in order to secure us
from maritime intrusion, we need on Staten
Island, besides Fort Richmond, now nearly
finished, tho completion Of Fort Tompkins,
recently commenced, the construction of
another casemated battery South of Fort
Richmond, and an extension of the earthen
batteries. These Staten Island works would
cost 81, 100000. The works on Long Island
must also be enlarged by extending batteries,
either open or casemated, along the bluff
below Fort Hamilton, and Fort Lafayette
must be re-modelled About 100000 would
be required for the Long Island works. In
order, however, to keep an enemy's force
under fire, wherever he may be, a work
should be built on Robbins Reef, to cost
$5OO,OOO To prevent Decentralization in
Gravesend Bay, work is indispensable on
Coney Island: To perfect the defences of the
outer bay, work on the west bank is re-
quired, besides the Sandy Hook fortifcation
Just commenced; and work on the Romer
| Shoal 10 command the Swash and east chan
nels, might be judged expedient. These
| Notifications, including Sandy Hook, would
cost "a, ,000, 900. The narrow passage around
Staten Island, through the Kills, should also
be protected by shore works, In the East
River, work on Willett's Point, opposite
Fort Schuyler, is required, to cost $500, ,000
These works, the Major thinks, would put
New York in satisfactory state of security
a state which it does not now enjoy.

THE TRUTH Doth NEVER DIE.


Though Kingdoms, States, and Empires fail,
And dynasties decay;
Though cities crumble into dust,
And nations die away;
Though gorgeous towers and palaces
In heaps Of ruin lie,
Which once were proudest Of the proud,
The truth doth never diet
Wo'll mourn not o'er the silent past,
Its glorics arc not fed,
Although its men of high rcnown
Be numbered with the dead,
Well grievo not DER what earth has lost,
1t cannot claim sigh;
For the wrong alone hath perished,
The truth doth never diel
All Of the past is living still
All that Is good and true;
The rest hath porished and 10 did
Deserve to perish, too!
The world rolls ever round and round,
And time rolls ever by;
And the wrong is ever rooted up,
But the truth doth nevor die

SAD STORY OF SEDUCTION AND DEATH
The Springfield Republican announces the
death of young girl from CRANKY, Ct, under
the following melancholy circumstances -
Five years ago Edwin w. Reed of West
Springfield went to CRANKY to teach village
singing school. His reputation was not good
but he was befriended by Dea. Kendall of that
town, and became an inmate of his family.
While there he effected the ruin of young
and accomplished daughter of his patron, and
induced her to leave her home. She was
taken to South Boston by her seducer, where
she remained till her death, returning to her
friends but once, and then to claim the share
OF the property upon the death of her heart.
broken father. Her money was paid over to
Reed, who deserted her. Her trials and dis
appointments had their effect upon her consti-
tuition, and she died neglected and heart brok.
en-, at her boarding place last week. Her let
tiers and papers were burned before her death,
in order to conceal from her friends the story
of her fall But an album which escaped her
vigilance revealed her true name, and on Sat.
urday last her remains were taken for burial
to her native village. Reed still keeps piano
forte store in Springfield, and teaches singing
schools i'll the country towns of western Mas
sachusetts in the winter months He has a
wife and children, is member of the Congre-
gational church, and has preserved the out
ward semblance of gentleman and a christian
in the midst of his cruel career of treachery
and murder.

AWFUL EXPLOSION = Seen Lires Lost
Shortly after O'Clock, this morning, the Pa
tent Safety Fuse Factory, of Toy, Bicktord, &
Co., situated near the center of Simsbury,
about forty rods from the Congregational
Church, blew up with very heavy report, was
Immediately enveoped in flames, and the rem
nants were rapidly consumed. Six young
women and married lady were at work in
the second story, and were either killed in
stantly by the explosion or so wounded that
they could not escape being burned to DEATH
We have but five names of the killed Kate
Brissee from New York State Mary Jane Ba-
con, Hannah Head, Harriet Head, and Mrs
Chas. L. Lamson, of Simsbury. Two other
women and Joseph Toy, Jr,, son of the pro-
prietor, were badly burned. The main build
ing was about fifty feet by twenty -four and
two stories high. Other smaller buildings were
near. The fuse is round braided cord, SINH
lar to a whip lash, and enclosing a small guam
tity of powder so prepared as to burn slowly;
used in blasting, &c. About twenty hands are
usually employed i'll this factory. Mr.. Edwin
Griswold was seriously injured. His daugh-
ter, Maria j. Griswold, was among the killed.
Nothing was done in that building but weaving
the braid, the machines at the same time put
ing in the powder. 1t also contained the count
ing-room There must have been an unusual
amount of powder in the factory, as when the
same business was carried on by Bacon Bros,
in the same town, accidents were not unfre-
quent, but they never resulted in the loss of

DEATH OF DUTcH SoHooLMAsTER.-A
German magazine recently announced the
death of schoolmaster in Suabia, who for
fifty one years had superintended large insti-
tuition with old-fashioned severity. From an
average, inferred by means of recorded OBJ
servations, one of the ushers had calculated
that in the course of his exertions. he had
given Oil 800 canings, 121,000 foegings, 209,-
900 custodes, 1876, 900 tips with the ruler, 10,-
200 boxes on the ear, and p, 700 tasks by
heart. 1t was further calculated that he had
made 700 boys stand on peas, 5000 kneel on
the sharp edge of wood 5000 wear the FOOLS
cap, and 100 hold the rod. How vast lex
claims the journalst) the quantity of human
misery inflicted by a single perverse educator

The Richmond Medical College has agreed

Five leading Americans of New York II. T.
Headley, &c. have issued circular propos
ing that the members of the opposition press in
the different states should meet in New York
on the second Tuesday in January to agree on
some plan by which an opposition candidate
for the Presidency may be secured. Mr..
Headley, equally bad as a maker and writer
of history, will hardly control the next contest.
1t is stated as a prevalent impression at
Washington that demand will be made by
Virginia and other southern states, of those
states north that have passed personal liberty
laws, or laws of auy other description in con-
flict with the constitution of the United States
and the rights of the south, to repeal such
laws, as being in violation of the compact of
the Union and in case of refusal, the south
will withdraw from the Union. Very cruel!

MARRIAeE.--l never, says Mrs. Childs, saw
a marriage expressly for money that did not
end unhappily. Yet managing mothers and
heartless daughters are continually playing the
same unlucky game. / believe men more
frequently marry for love than women, because
they have free choice am afraid to con-
lecture how large portion of women would
marry only because they think they will never
have better chance, and dread becoming de-
pendent. Such marriages do sometimes prove
tolerably comfortable, but greater number
would have been far happier single, If / may
judge from my observation of such matters,
marrying for home is a most tiresome way
of getting living.

RrruBL1cAN PRrs1DENrrAL CONVENTION,

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CONVENTION.
"A despatch from New York brings the intel
ligence, that the Republican National Conven-
ton, to nominate candidates for the Presiden-
cy and Vice Presidency, will be held in Chica-
go on the 18th day of June. The committee
have done well. The time is very suitable;
and the place better, in our view, than any
other that has been mentioned. We see 1t
stated that 'the call will be broad enough for
the whole opposition to stand upon. But
this is nothing new. From the beginning, the
invitation to join the republican party has
been broad enough to reach the "whole opposi-
tion." Men from all the old parties united to
form the republican party; and its invitation
now is as comprehensive and earnest, as its
platform is clear and unmistakable.
