Meacham, winch we have given; but or
being pressed TO acknowledge the fact Pal

mount TO much and was only such as could
be heard at any breakfast table since the cc
currence Of the outbreak.
Col. Burch was followed by Mr.. Meach

Wise's letter; the memorandum referred IL

Thatcher's letter. The following is The

The above does not look very imposing
TO be sure, but there are few things in il
which may be worthy Of attention. For
instance:
Al. F., Oct, 18th, might stand for Har-
per's Ferry. 1t was on The 18th, only one
day later, that the inscrrecticn occurred.
M. c., 26lh, might mean the Mammoth
Cave, where it was understood from some
correspondence found among Browns ef-
fects, an outbreak was 10 have occurred,
and the date may be time uppointed-the
success Of Brown preventing 1t, however.
The figures opposite the letters W., S.
B., and F. B., may be intended TO give the
number of whites, slaves and free blacks
in a certain locality perhaps Paris Tenn,
or the region IN the vicinity of the Mann
meth Cave.
