says:
The Harper's Ferry Investigating Committee dis
charged Realf to-day. He will leave Immediately
for New York.
Thaddeus Hyatt arrived here to-day, and will APP
pear before the Committee tomorrow.
Senator Wilson was before the Committee to-
day. He stated that early in May, 1858, Mr.. Forbes
came to his seat in the Senate Chamber and intro
duced himself, and informed him that he {Forbes)
had been employed by Brown to 20 to Kansas, to
drill some forces, in 1851 that Brown had not paid
him for his trouble; that his (Forbes') family was
starving in Europe. He said that the men in the
East who had contributed for the defence of Kan
sas ought to pay him.
lie was much excited, and denounced Brown
and Others. He said that some of the arms which
were sent to Kansas had passed into Browns
hands, and were stored in Iowa. He wrote to Dr.
Howe, suggesting him to see some of the men who
had contributed arms for the defense Of Kansas, to
get those arms out of Browns hands, and place
them in the control of reliable men in that Terri
tory, who would see that they were used only for
defense. He said if these arms were used for ile-
gal purposes, it would involve the men who had
contributed them in the trouble. DR., Howe i'm
mediately wrote back that the order had been sent
to Brown to deliver up those arms. The matter
passed out of his mind, and he supposed all was
right. He had never heard word about the
organization of forces for the invasion at Harper's
Eerry, IN 1901, or afterwards, and did not know
that Howe had sent his letter to Brown
The resident Democratic National Committee

on Senator Mason to inquire into the authority Of
the newspaper dispatches in relation to the pro-

he was assured that information had not been fur
nlshed by any member of the Committee or Clerk
for publication and that the statements sent abroad
were no part of the testimony, but they may have
peen furnished by witnesses under oath.

every reason to credit the truth of this statement

that where the largest foeks of sheep cost nothing
for food, and where the animals are thrifty and pre-

hence the very large number Of persons in this por-

DIVING FOR SPoNGE.--An important resource for
the fisherman consists in the sponge and pearl fish
cries To pursue this employment with success, it
is indispensable that the sea should be calm and
not more than thirty feet deep. Those who fish
for oyster pearls, and the large shell.ish called
baccjniuns htonian, descend to very considers
BILE depth. These men are exposed to real danger.
The ctdnad gigds, an enormous byalve, which ex-
isis in the seas of Greece as well as of India has
strength enough to bite cable in two. Its she'll
weighs no less than $50 lbs, and the fish itself
about 100 lbs. 1t is scene of no little excitement
to see two men SO forth stripped, in diminutive
boat, armed only with knife stuck in their leath-
girdle. To watch them as they fix their glance
on the deep: then of sudden, to see one of them
extending his arms and clasping his hands, make a
plunge. He soon reappears above the waves with
sponge in his hand, which he deposits in the boat.
and Immediately prepares for the acquisition OF
others. Thus he works on during the day, and re-
turns to his home overcome by fatigue and bleed
ing from nose and ears. Should cramp attack him
while under the water, il is all up with him: and
equally miserable would be his fate should lie en-
counter a biYalve at the bottom of the sea- Even
should he escape these dangers, which are ever
present to him, he may perchance get entangled
in the floating net Of the china glpseide. from
which he would try in vain to extricate himself
and having by good luck avoided these hazards. he
may yet stand a chance Of ending his days in the
jaws OF a shark.

The CAPTURED SLAYER AT CHARLESTON
Charleston Courier of Thursday last has the fol-
lowing:
A rakish, full rugged brig reached this port on
Wednesday, list inst, from the coast Of Lower
Guinea, after passage of forty days, in charge of
Lieut.. r. M. McArann, Mdshipman N H. Farauhar,
and 10 marines and TO seamen of the u S. Navy
She was taken on the 2lst December last, after
II hours chase, by the U. S. ship Constellation,
Commodore Inman, the brig then being on the
coast Of Guinea, about go miles northwest from
kabenda. She displayed no colors, and no papers
have been discovered on her. 1t is thought from
information obtained from the sailing master who
had command of her when taken, that her name is
the Delicia, a Spanish vessel, built in Barcelona
some rs years age, and at present rather old but
fast sailer. She sailed from Sagua la Grande in
the Island of Cuba, in September last and in
crossing the ocean for the African coast stood well
to the north. She had been hove in near the land
for several weeks previous to her capture, and it
is believed was in momentary expectation of en-
barking cargo of 600 negroes when she was
taken. No money was found on board. slave
deck, boiler for cooking and all the necessary APP
plianees were found ready for immediate use Tie
captain or supercargo was on shore when the brig
was taken, and he was consequently not captured
She had a crew of ID men, in addition to her off
GERS, all of whom appeared to be spaniards The
men were put on board the Constellation but the
first and second officers have been brought here in
the brig.
The vessel, ETC., will be Immediately placed in
the hands of the U. S. Marshal.
