is being reformed in the Legations, and an incom
plete battalion has already Joined the corps at Rim
! ini. The pickets on the Papa frontiers, at Cato
| lica, have been reinforced, and some earthwork
! for artillery have been constructed. The military
preparations at Rimini, which are under the direc
| ton OF the adventurous Garibald, lead the Papa
troops at Pesaro to fancy that attack is likely
De made on them, and to fear that General var
hal6ermatten, whose force is very inferior, viii
not be able to offer effectual resistance .'


"Garioadi is busily employed in inspecting the
troops, and in improving their position on the
Papal frontier. On the 23d of September Garibald
was still at Rimini, and day or two before he
harangued the people from balcony, and told
them that the domination and tyranny of the spiri
tual power had ceased for ever. At the conclusion
OF his speech he called his hearers rise as one
man, and to take up arms in order that the separa
tion from Rome might be durable.


Some of the inhabitants of Bologna display ar
inclination to make the Marchese Pepoi Dictator
OF the Romagna but at present they have no great
chance of success.


THE HARPER'S FERRY RESURRECTION.


We have little to add to day to the copious de-
tails which we have already published in regard to
this extraordinary affair. The following is the
charge of Judge Parker to the Grand Jury of JEFF
ferson county, Va, just made:


Gentlemen Of the jury: .-


In the state of excitement into which our
whole community has been thrown by the recent
W.
winch usually deliver to Grand Jury would be
entirely out of place.


These occurrences cannot but force themselve.
upon your attention. They must necessarily occupy
a considerable portion of that time which you will
devote to yourpublic duties as a Grand Jury. How
ever guilty the unfortunate men who are now in
the hands OF justice may prove to be- still they
not be called upon to answer to the offended laws
OF our Commonwealth for any of the multifarious
crimes with which they are charged until Grand
Jury, after "diligent" inquiry shall decide that for
these offences they be put upon their trial.


Will not permit myself to give expression to
any OF those feelings which at once spring up in
every breast when rejecting upon the enormitv of
the guilt in which those are involved who invade
by force peaceful, unsuspecting portion of our
common country, raise the standard of nsurrection
amongst us, and shoot down without mercy Virgin
la citizens defending Virginia soil against their in
vasion. l must remember, gentlemen, that as a
minister OF justice bound to execute laws faith
fully, and in the very spirit of justice herself nu
as to every one accused of crime hold. as the law
holds, that he is innocent until he shall be proved
guilty, by anhonest, an independent, and an impair
tial jury of his countrymen. And what is oblira-
tory upon me is equally binding upon you and up-
on every one who may be connected with the prose-
cution and trials of these offenders In these cases
as in all others, you will be controlled by that oath
which each of you have taken, and in which YOU
have solemnly sworn that you will diligently in
quire into all offences which may be brought to
your knowledge, and that "you will present no one





one unpresented through fear or favor, but in all
your presentments you shall present the truth the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth" Do but
this, gentlemen, and you will have fulfilled your
whole duty. Go beyond this, and il place of that
diligent enquiry, and calm investigation which
you have sworn to make, act upon prejudice or from
excitement of passion, and you will have done a
wrong to that law in whose service you are en-
cages.


As before said, these men are now in the hands
of Justice. They are to have fair and an Impair
tial trial. We owe it to the cause of Justice as
well as to our own characters, that such trial
should be afforded them. If guilty, they will be
sure to pay the extreme penalty of their guilt-and
the example of punishment, when thus inflicted by
virtue of law, will be beyond all comparison more
eflcacious for our future protection than any tor
ture to which mere passion could subject them


Whether then we be in public or private position,
let each one of US remember that as the law has
charge of these alleged offenders the law alone,
through its recognized agents, must deal with them
to the last 1t can tolerate no interference by others
with duties it has assumed to ITSELF Iftrue to her
self, and true she will be- our commonwealth.
through her Courts of Justice will be as ready to
punish the offence of such interference she il to
punish these grave and serious offences with which
she is now about to deal-in these offences be
proved by legal testimony to have been perpe-
trated. Let US all, gentlemen, bear this in mind,
and in patience await the result-confident that
that result will be whatever strict and Impair
tial justice shall determine to be necessary and
proper.


1t would seem, gentlemen, and yet speak from
no evidence, but upon vague rumors which have
reached me, that these men who have lately thrown
themselves upon US, confidently expected to be
joined by our slaves and free negroes, and un-
furled the banner of insurrecton and invited this
class OF our citizens to rally under it. And vet as
l am told, they unable to obtain single
recruit.


The New York Day Book of Thursday, has the
following items


GENERAL WooL.-Major-G General Wool left Troy
on Tuesday, for Harper's Ferry, without waiting
for orders from the President. The alacrity which
our public men have manifested in Offering their
services to suppress the Riot at Harpers Ferry is
an unquestionabe indication of their opinions as to
its nature and possible results


WILL Gov. MORGAN GIVE UP THE CoNsPIeAToRs p
The news from Harpers Ferry now indicates be-
yond doubt that a large number of northern men
are implicated with Brown in his atrocous plot
From the letters found, it is proved that Gerrit
Smith had sent him $780, and Fred Douglass $40.
He must have had $4,000 or $4,000 at least
Who rere the other contributors? Gov. Wise will
doubtless make requisition upon Gov Morgan
for Gerret Smith, Fred. Douglass and the whole
posse of northern traitors, whoever they are even
to Greeley if he be implicated which, from his call
ing Brown f'patriot," gives rise at least to the
suspicion that he may be. And as he is alread un-
der indictment in Virginia, they can try him for
all his sins at once. But will Gov. Morgan give
up the rebels? That is the question.


WHAT is IN THE WIND?-A noted Kansas rifle
clergyman of Brooklyn, was this morning seen,
with carpet bag in hand and shawl upon his arm,
apparently with eager haste leaving the city,
Does he apprehend requisition from Gov. Wise


The following is the latest from the seat of distur-
bance:


HARPER's FERRY, October 20.-The people of
Harper's Ferry awoke this morning a little morti-
ed at the groundless alarm of last night. No til
dings OF Cook have been received, and it is now
supposed that he has escaped North


An old mulatto has been arrested on a nharoa of
having had an interview with Cook on Tuesday,
promising him to come into Harper's Ferry as a
spy, and report to him in the mountains. basket
of supper found in her hut ready to be carried
into the mountains. Her daughter informed
against her.


This morning there was a slight alarm raised bv
the shaking of tree on the mountain opposite and
several Sharp-rife volunteers said they could see
men at work there, throwing up intrenchments.
1t turned out, however, that the tree was shaken
by scout from here, who had taken drop too
much.


The news from Charlestown is that Stevens
wounds are doing well, and that "Old Brown is
out of all danger on the score of his wounds


Governor Wise arrived here to day in the train
from CharlestOwn, and issued the following order

Thirty rounds of ammunition were also directed to
be given to Henry Hunter, at the expense of the
State. The Governor says the State had arms for
one hundred thousand men. He also said the
Sharps rifles dangerous weapon for those
not familiar with arms He preferred the smooth
bore musket for military; Sharp's rifles were toys
in the hands of the people.


The Governor expressed his modification at the
disgrace which had been brought upon the State
He would rather have lost both legs and both arms
from his shoulders and hips than such a disgrace
should have been cast upon it, that fourteen white
men and FIVE negroes should have captured the
government works and all Harper's Ferry, and
have been able to retain them Tor hour. Col.
Lee with twelve Marines settled the matter IN ten
minutes. That nineteen men should capture one
hundred prisoners, was something IKE the police
