F., Cha,leslown, before The JOINT committee
Of the Assembly on The Harper's Ferry
affair. OF course the greater portion oil
Mr.. HIS remarks in connection with the
Invasion were not new tn the reading pub
Ilic-but many OF them were, or bad no.
ilha, stren.h of confirmation which they
received Tuesday night from the know
ledge and high position Of the speaker.
One error lie emphaIicaliy corrected
that is. the statement that the Virginia
troups declined the offer Col. Lee made
.them 10 storm the engine house. The
offer was not d, clined bu, the Virginia
troops were so scattered that, before they
could decide on the offer, Col. Lee felt il
hi, dn,y TO take the place. The citizens
of ChglesroWn did not feel anxious 10
gel rid Of The military, as stated by news
paper correspondents on the contrary,
there were some families who could lily
afford it, who furnished tie troops from
400 10 coo meals, and did not charge the
State one cent. As an evidence Of ihe
completeness Of the system of espionage
adopted, Mr. II. said that one of The spies
in the employment of Virginia repeatedly
slept in tie bed with john Brown, j.,
and watched all his movements concern
ing his father. The report Of 500 men
being organized in the mountains, was
/ first given by member of the Pennsyl-
vana House of Representatives, and after
wards so confirmed az 10 leave no doubt
of the fact. The spies reported the or
ganizatinns. and Mr. Hunter was enabled
tn find il on, within forty eight hours at.
ter the intended rescue was given up. Il
is remarkable that il was then, for the first
time, that John Blown agreed to see his
wife. The unexpected and nearly sue.
cesefnl escape OF Cook and CopPlc, was
noticed by Mr.. Hunter, who said it was
The result of a conflict in authority be-
tween the civil and military officers. and
he believed the jailor and sheriff perfectly
free from any completely whatever in the
escape. Jrhn Brown, during his lmpris-
onment. received more than two hundred
and fhy letters. The speaker paid
high compliment TO the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, for their aid 10
Virginia, by keeping crowds and snsP-
cious characters off their trains. lie was
assured at the limo by one o! the officers
Of the road, tina, if a crowd got possession
Of the cars, and he could not gel them of,
he would instruct the engineer TO RON
down the first emhankment he came TO.
The speaker read letter from clerk
in Philadelphia mercantile house, dis
closing plot in Ohio to rescue Brown, IN
which the writer begged that his name
shooId not be disclosed TO his employers,
as they would discharge him if they dis
covered his pro-slavery feellngs.-Rlch
