The PLAN To RESCUE JOHN BRowN-The idea
OF an extensive combination TO rescue Jogy
Brown has been greatly ridcued by the Re-
publican and other journals, and the PROMPT
and vigorous precautions of Gov. WISE made
the subject Of much affected merrineDt. It
now turns out that, beyond all doubt, a com
olnatlon existed Of sufficient magnitude TO war
rant the steps which were taken by the Cover
nor, and that It is owing TO his decided and
thorough performance of bis duty that the most
dangerous and formidable insurrectionIds in the
United States did not escape the Just penalty
OF his crimes. ANDREW HUNTER. ESQ. who
prosecuted BRowN and bis followers, delivered
an address at Richmond, a few evenings ago.
IN the Hall OF the House of Delegates, and the
DaSpafch gives sketch of it, from which we
copy as follows
As an evidence of the completeness of the
system OF espionage adopted, Mr.. H. said that
one OF the spies in the employment of Virginia
repeatedly slept in the bed with John Brown.
Jr., and watched all bis movements concerning
MS father. None who kn1w Mr.. Hunter will
De likely to question the soundness of his Iudc
ment any more than the integrity of his char
acter He says that the report of FIVE hundred
men being organized in the mountains was first
gwen by member of the Pennsylvania House
OF Representatives, and afterwards so confr-
med as TO leare no doubt Of the fact TIE spies
reported the organization, and MIR. Hunter was
enabled to ind it out within torty-eight hours
after the intended rescue was given up. II is
remarkable that it was then, for the first time
that John Brown agreed TO see his wife -
When she first proposed to come, his language
was, "For Gods sake, do not come here - Il
will be remembered that, at last, John Brown
himself admitted that there had been plan for
his rescue, and that il had only been given I'd
on account OF the overwhelming amount of
military force which was concentrated at and
about Cbarleslown.
The speaker read letter from clerk in a
Philadelphia mercantile house, disclosing plot
IN Ohio TO rescue Brown, in which the writer
begged that his name should not be disclosed
to has employers, as they would discharge him
If they discovered his pro-slavery feelings.

reelected State Treasurer by the Legislature
of Pennsylvania. He received 81 votes. and
Hon. John w. Maynard, Democrat, of Ly
coming, received IL votes. This is Mr.. Slifer's
third term as Treasurer. The Philadelphia
"Opposltion'' were sadly disappointed at this
result, they having confidently calculated on

who had apair, Of large capons--
Pretending to wish to buy them, he
bargained with him, that if he would
accompany him home he, would give
him breakfast besides the, price. So
he lead him to place where there was
a steeple. which was 50 far separated
from the church, as to admit one to
pass around it !; aud precisely to one Of
the four faces Of the steeple fronted a
little narrow street. There Pontius,
having conceived his plans, said TO the
countrytnan. famnus yT9wods mrhw-
"I7 have betted these capons with a
countryman ofmine, who says that this
tower measures around full forty feet;
