NEGROEs-The editor of the Pendleton Is. c.
Messenger, speaking of the high rates at which
negroes selling, says:
Negroes are selling at the most exorbitant
prices. Common field hands bringing the enor-
nous price of 81 200 to 81 500. Why they are
so much more valuable now than they were few
years back we cannot tell; cotton, the great sta
pie produced by their labor, does not sell for any
more than it did some years back. There is as
large a number of them in the Southern States as
thore few years ago We have had no adj
dition to the Slaveholdng States in number of
years. Money appears to be scarcer than it was
some time ago. There has been great financial
panic then why is it that property is increasing
so rapidly in value? We predict that before long
we will have ''snash up" than we have
vet had. The twelve months credit system is
playing the mischief Twelve months from this
time where is all the money, to pay for these
things, to como from. There very few, if
any fcldhands that will make enough to pay the
interest Oh 81 200 in the course of the year"
READ AN Hour A DAY.-Thcre wasa lad, who
at fourteen, was apprentced to a soap-boiler. One
of his resolutions was to read one hour day or at
least, at that rate and he had old silver watch
left him by his UNCLE, which he timed his reading
by. lie staid seven years with his master, and
said when he was twenty that he knew as much
as the young squire did. Now let US see how much
time he had to read ill., in seven years, at the rate
of one hour day 1t woad be twenty-five hun
drcd and fifty five hours, which, at the rate of eight
reading hours per day, would be equal to so days
equal to Is weeks equal to II months nearly
years reading. That time spent in trcasuring up
: useful knowledge would pile up very large store
/ am sure its worth trying for, Try what you can
do. Begin now IN after years you will look back
upon the task the most pleasant and profitable
you ever performed.

WASHINGTON. Oct. %. 1859

The President up to this evening, has received
no intelligence from Secretary Floyd, who left for
Harper's Ferry yesterday evening. 1t is believed
that the rumored attack upon Harper's Ferry and
Charlestown which the citizens apprehended, was
unfounded. 1t is very probable, however, that the
Secretary will deem it advisable to station company
of troops there until the excitement attending this
affair is over.
The government have received information from
the United States Marshal at Charlestown that Ger
rit Smith is deeply implicated in the Harpers Ferry
affair by recent disclosures made by one of the
prisoners. The despatch says that large number
of other gentlemen in high positions in New York
and also numberin Ohio, including Governor Chase.
It is understood that the officers of the federal
government are engaged in strict and thorough in
vestigation with view to discover how far certain
leading republicans including Senators Seward,
Wilson, Hale and Sumner, Messrs. Gerrit Smith,
Greeley, Gddings and others, are implicated in the
Harpers Ferry treason. 1t is understood that the
documents in the hands of the authorities impcate
several prominent members Of the republican party
as accessories before the fact.

the work of the tasteful hands of Mrs Frank Will

various similar exhibitions have placed her among
the first in style, taste and success in this charming
and poetic department Of leisure labor. This collec

cucumbers, green corn, pop corn, sprigs of purple
and white cabbage grapes of various kinds and for
a fanciful effect equally the fruits of nature"

D.. MURDER AND TREASON VS.. PATRIoTIsM.-The New
York Tribune, the leading organ of the Abolition
party, in noticing the late proceedings at Harper's
Ferry says:
"There will be enough to heap execration on the
memory of these mistaken men. We leave this
work to the fit hands and tongues of those who re-
gard the fundamental axioms of the Declaration of
Independence Offering generalities.' Believing
that the way to universal emancipation lies not
through Instruction civil war and bloodshed, but
through peace, discussion and quiet diffusion of
sentiments of humanity and justice we deeply regret
this outbreak but, remembering that if their fault
was grievous grievously have they answered it, soe
piU not by one reproacul scord, disturb the bloody
shrouds aoherein John Broom and his compatriots
are sleeping They dared and died for what they
felt to be the right, though in manner which seems
to us fatally wrong. Let their epitaphs remain
oritten until the not distant dug aehen no Stare
shall clank his chains in the shades Of Monticello
or by the graues of Mount Vernon"
1t will be seen that the Tribune considers the act
of Brown as the act of patriot, which future ages
will admire and extrol This is evident from its
closing allusion to him-the sentiment of which is
borrowed from the last speech Of Robert Emmett,
the Irish patriot when sentence of death was about
to be pronounced on him. To become hero and a
MARTYR. in the 7ribuns's estimation, is to 60 the
South and excite the slaves to rise and cut the
Threats of their white masters. Their bloody
shrouds it will not disturb by one reproachfu word
