A. Makn, Sec'y. Insurrection in the 1 1 FROM BALTIMORE. Baltimore, Oct. 17.

The following dispatch' has just been received trom Frederick, Ma. It seems yery improbable, and should be received with caution until confirmed. Frederick, Oct. 17. An insurrection is reported to have taken place at Harper's Ferry.

An armed band of Abolitionists have full possession of the United States arsenal at Harper's Ferry. The express train running East was fired into twice, and one of the railroad hands, a negro boy, was killed in trying to get the train through the town. The mob orreated two mea who came in with a load of wheat, and took the wagon, loaded it with rifles, and sent it into Maryland- They are led by two hundred and fifty whites, with a gang of negroes fighting. SECOND DISPATCH. Baltimore, Oct 17.

A late dispatch received at the railroad office, says the affair is greatly exaggerated. It has foundation in a difficulty at the armory. Ths necroes have nothing to do with it THIRD DISPATCH. Baltimore, Oct. 17.

It is apprehended that the affair at Harper's Ferry is more serious than tbe people here are willing to believe. The telegraph wires have been cut from Harper's Ferry, and there is no communication beyond Monocacy. It is reported that there has been a stampede of negroes from Maryland. The train due here early this morning has not yet arrived. Many wild rumors are afloat, but no intelligence of an authentic character has yet been received.

LATER FROM BALTIMORE. Baltimore, Oct. 17. The western train has just arrived, and the officers confirm the statement just received. They say the bridge keeper discovered that tbe lights in the bridge had been extinguished, and when he went to ascertain the cause he was pursued and fired upon by a gang of whites and blacks Tbe colored assistant master on CO the train, was shot and mortally wounded.

Conductor Phillips was threatened, and it was stated the train should not proceed. He waited till daylight, and was then detained six hours by the mob. He says that tbe insurrectionists number two hundred whites and blacks. They have full possession of the armory, and are commanded by a man named Anderson, who lately arrived at Harper's Ferry. The Military of Frederick City had been ordered out, aud President Buchanan has ordered out U.

S. Troops. A special train is now getting ready to convey the troops from this city. The President has also accepted Len-ick's Company of Frederick, and has or dered companies from Old Point. It seems now that something seiious is going on.

Another account by the train says that the bridge across the Potomac was filled ith tbe insurgents, all armed. Every light in town was extinguished, and tbe hotels closed. All the streets were in the possession of tbe mob, and every road and lane leading thereto barricaded and guarded. Men were seen in every quarter armed with muskets and bayonets. They had arrested citizens and pressed them into service, including many ne groes.

ben this was done, the United states Arsenal and Government pay house, in which there is said to be a large amount of money, and all tbe other public works, were seized by tbe mob. It is reported on tbe good authority, that some weeks ago Secretary Floyd re ceived an anonymous letter stating that about the 15th of October, the abolitionist negroes and other disaffected persons wonld make an attempt to seize the arsenal and hold the place, but the statement was so indefinite and improbable as to cause no fears of such an outbreak. A train filled with the military, left for Harper's Ferry. Several representatives of the press accompanied the train. The insurgents have taken possession of tbe arsenal at Harper's Ferry, and pla ced cannon at tbe bridge, and the trains had all been stopped.

A body of armed men were gettinc ready to proceed thither to clear the road. Great excitement existed iu that vicinity. Ninety Marines from Washing-ton, un der the command of Col. Harris, with 2 four pound howitzers, had joined the expedition. Col.

bhver of Frederick, has just had an interview with Brown in the armory. tie asKed to be allowed to march out with men, and avowed his intention of defending himself to the last. His men are very strongly posted in the engine house and cannon cannot be used against them for fear of injuring the prisoners, of whom they still hold some. sixteen persons are known to have been killed. Mr.

Beekman, a Railroad agent was shot from the armory. Three rioters are lying dead nnder the bridge, havine- been shot by tbe Sbepardstown troops in their cnarge on me bridge. Capt Cook, ths second in command of the insurgents, is said to be Dosted in the school house, four miles distant, with a large Dody of runaway slaves. 1 he Armory was taken possession of 01 rhich was the rendezvous of toe rioters, The other white men are supposed to have beefi connected with Brown itt Kansas. It is reported, but not confirmed that they have catried off the Government funds.

No attempt was made to pillage the Invn nr inc.ilt foMitiloa CLOSE OF THE MARYLAND INSURRECTION Slaughter of the Insurgents OLD JOHN BROWN MORTALLY FROM 40 TO 5ft KILLED ESCAPE OF RIOTERS WITH SLAVES PURSUIT ORDERED BV THE PRESIDENT 1,000 MEN UNDER ARMS AT HARPER'S FEURYPRISONERS TO BE TRIED IN WASHINGTON FULL PARTICULARS. From the Leavenworth Daily Timet Extra. The end of tbe nttempted Maryland Insurrection has come. Old John Brown and his comrades, (including one son are slain or captured. They fought despe rately; with the courage ot wild enthusiasts, and fell as martyrs to an insane fanaticism.

Those who escaped death are fugatives hotly pursued and will inevitably be captured. We give our telegraphic reports in the form of an extra. Harper't Ferrt, Oct. 18, 8 a. m.

The Armory has just been stormed and taken, after determined resistance. Colonel Shutt approached tho Armory, afier expostulating for some time. The Rioters refused to accept any terms, and the Marines then advauced, endeavoring to break open the door with sledge hammers, but it resisted all their ed'orts. A arre ladder was then used as a battering rum, and the door gave way. The rioters fired briskly, and shot three of the Marines, who exchanged shots through the partly broken door.

1 lie Marines then forced their way through the break, and in a few minutes the resistance was at an end. Tbe Rioters were brought out amidst the most intense excitement, manv of tbe armed militia trying to get an opportunity to suoot them. Capt. Brown and his son were both shot. The latter is dead, and the former dying.

He lies in the Armory enclosure. He talks freely, and says he is the old Ossa-wattomie Brown whose feats in Kansas had such wide notice. He says his whole object was to free the slaves, and justified his actions by adding that he had possession of the town, and could have murdered all the people. J. G.

Anderson was also shot down in the Arsenal. He was from Connecticut. The dead body of a man shot yesterday, was found within the Armory. Brown declares that there were more engaged in the plot than those who accompanied him. Tbe prisoners are retained within the Armory enclosure.

Baltimore, Oct 18. INTENSE EXCITEMENT. Nothing is talked but "Insurrection." General Stellard, through Gov. Wise, has communicated an order to Gen. J.

W. Watkins, of this city, to prepare, equip, and mout-'t, immediately, a body of men for servicein the Mountains, near Harper's Ferry, where many Insurgents have taken refuge. Troops ill leave this afternoon. Gov. Wise passed the Relay House this morning en route for the seat of war.

Three Artillery Companies from Fort Monroe, arrived this morning, and are quartered at Fort McIIenry awaiting orders. Harper's Ferrt, October 18. Soon after storming tbe Armory four dead bodies of the insurgents were shot yesterday) were found within the enclosure. Capt. Brown and his son are dangerously wounded, also Edwin Coppick, (white) from Iowa, and Cbilds Green, (colored) also from Iowa.

Tbe party originally consisted of twenty-two persons, of whom fifteen are killed, two mortally wounded and two unhurt, three making good their escape with the slaves. On Monday morning, soon after the assault on the Armory, some firing took place from the hills on the Maryland shore, supposed to be a parting salute from some insurgents who left on Monday morning. The tiro was returned with a general volley, but both parties were too distant to do much damage. A company of Volunteers have gone in pursuit of the fugitives. There are probably a thousand armed men now congregated here.

Reinforcements have been pouring in all night from all quarters of the surroundinc country. Harper's Ferrt. Oct. 18. The Secretary of War has telegraphed 10 io.

tee that Mr. Uuld, District Attorney for this district, will proceed forthwith to Harper's Ferry to take charce cf the legal proceedings against the prisoners and briDg themf to trial. The train is now getting ready to convey horses and men from there to pursue the" rioteis into any btate where they may have fled. This is by order of the President, at the request uoy. lse.

Baltimore, Oct 18. An eye witness, who has returned from Harper's Ferry, describes the scene there as follows: The first attack was made by a detachment of the Charleston Guards, who crossed the Potomac River above Harpers Ferry, reached the building where the insurgents were posted by the cannal on the Maryland side, 1 Smart firing occurred. At this interesting point the line failed, aPt were cut off for the bm temg.lp. iimes.J Death of Gen. Calhoun.

From the Leavenworth Herald we learn of the death of this gentleman, who The Herald thus remarks: "We regret to hear this; for. whatever mac have heen UiS lauits. ma mep 0 wmseit, to nis wmiiy Ta tL 1 1 I rr-, ureuua was uear.

Aj tb present contest waxes warmer Republican organs of the Territory con thine to yell most lustily against the Do-moaracy, the great mass of the people appear to favor the election of Judge Johnston, knowing- him to be the manr who will do Kansas more good in her present condition than any other.

From every portion of the Territory we have assurances that the "work goes bravely oo," and the Democracy will do their utmost for the success of their great and glorious cause. One of the best evidences of success is the fact that Judge Johnston has, unquali6edly, the confidence of his party, and many who do not belong to it; and if the Democracy icill do their July, there need be no doubt as to the result. We have every reason to believe that the sterling Democracy of Kansas will not fail to put forth their entire strength on the occasion of the appronching contest. With Judge Johxstos at their head, they can make such a fight as was never before witnessed on the plains of Kansas, and achieve a victory over the enemies of good government and economy that will last for yesrs to come. Because Black Republi can followers can be bribed into the support of a mean and contemptible cause, let it not be said of the Democracy that they deserted their ancient and time-honored faith for the sake of a paltry cowix-n-i-tion that etery honest man would spurn wiih the contempt it so richly deserves.

The wild ravings of a few Abolitiou organs will not detract honest men from theirpur-pose; and when eiery just and manly prin ciple is surrendered by a party claiming the respect and confidence of a free people, aud falsehood and calumny become main weapons of defence agaiust the attacks of an honorable adversary, it behooves every patriot and honest man to raise his arm in defence of the right aud condemn the wrong. The course pursued by the Republican party of Kansas is any other than calculated to receive sympathy at the hands of honorable men, and we trust that every man who would have Kansas what her immense natural advantages can make her, will not falter the discharge of his sacred duty to his country. The Democratic party is the only national organiza. tion in existence, and when sectionalism attempts its overthrow, it becomes the im perative duty of every patriot and lover of free government to aid in resisting any suca attermits and in maintaining a political and social independence.

We lay before our readers this wek, from the St. Louis Republican, the particulars of this unfortunate affair, which is full of interest It is useless for us to expatiate upon the circumstances which led to it and its fatal termination.

It is enough to know that it has brought to an untimely end the life of a man whose career was as brilliant as it was brief, and whose future seemed undimmed by the remotest cloud of adversity. It affords another memorable instance of the terrible consequences resulting from the inhu man mode of settling disputes by a re sort to the code duello. However men may have differed from him in political sentiment, all will admit that the deceased Senator possessed an intellect and courage that nothing save death could conquer. Peace to his manes.

That is the fault of the RrpuUican and its fronds, not onrsr It is our privilege, however, to speak of the thing as it is, and if its friends are ashamed of its looks, it only proves how ugly is the bantling they have produced. The Constitution has been adopted, how -ever, only about two-thirds of the people voting, according to the votes registered. Now the question comes np, what is its chances of passing Congress? Of these chances, as we bae said before, we know nothing, and fan only judge from the nature of the instrument itself. But the Lawrence Republican, not ling satisfied tvith what we have already said, and the view we have already taken, we will give it another, and hope it will enlighteu its readers by publishing this also, and aid iu giving it circulation. It is well kuovn, Congress alone has authority over our boundaries.

This the Republican will not dispute. In organiz ing Kansas Territory Congress fixed its boundaries, and the people looking upon the man, seeing these limits, ease, west, north and south, picked up their all and became citizens of this portion of God's heritage. Now it has pleased those wise statesmen, ho sat in caucus iu an dott, to give away nearly half the land within the original limits as fixed bv Congress. If, therefore, Congress should agree to admit us into the Uniou with the boundaries fixed in the Constitution, they have got, at the same time, to organize a Terri tory west of us, as the population there is rapidly increasing, and will demand a government instantly. But there are other Territories knocking at the doer of Congress for organization, which will have friends and iuiueuce.

There is Dacotah, west of Minnesota; there is also Arizona and Nevada, south and south-west of us. They will all be before the Territorial Cotrmittees, and praying Congress for governments four in number. The Wyandott Convention, by its own acts, has involved our admission into the Union in all these questions. They cannot well be separated, and from the way business is always done in Congress we cannot see how they could be separated. In the organization of thsse Territories, the "everlasting nuj'jer" must, of course, show his curly head, if not his "gory locks" and what then We give our opinion.

aud we ask the Republican to remember it: The nigger-equality representatives Lu Congress will vote against the admission of Kansas, rather than have these Territories organized on the principles of the Kansas and Nebraska Act And without adopting this Act as the basis of organiz ing these and all future Territories, they never can be nrganized, and Kansas, by our own acts, being involved in the crea tion of new Territories, can never pass Congress unless the Black Republicans back out from their Philadelphia platform, aud all their heresies of the present time, or the Democrats must abandon the hole ground of non-iiiterveution, popular the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and all they preach at present, including the various branches of their differences. Now, in the name of all reason, judging from the nigger issue always npjiermost, how is Kansas to be admitted unless her original boundaries are granted, and made the condition of her admission. Is there the least prospect that either party will back down from its position, and without this, Kansas is just as likely to be kept out of the Union by one party as the other, and we should not be surprised to hear, in less than six months, the Lawrence Republican eulogizing its colored brethren in Congress for voting to keep Kansas out of the Union. Let our excited cotemporary, therefore, be a little careful in taking iu position now for fear it will soon be found on the other side, and then we shall rather ridicule its agony than boast of its foresight Now, we do not write this idly, nor as mere vapor for the occasion, but with seriousness, and no great admiration of the future conduct of the Republican party on I this very question of admission. K.va two Black Republican eastern papers now before us, that point as strongly as words can to this very condition of things here stated.

One is down on organizing any more Territories, stating thatit is only a scheme of the Democrats to make places for Gov ernors, Judges, dec charge applies rather to the Republicansof Kansus than the Democrats, as everybody knows it wasthev who cut off that rich gold region around Pike's Peak, that a new set of officers might be made thsre. We leave this subject here for the present, and if the Republican is not satisfied we are ready to have aoother talk with it jEirrRsojrCorsTTCoxvESTios. The Democracy of Jefferson county met in Convention at Oscaloosa, on the 15th and nominated candidates for the various ouuty -offices. The ticket is a good one, and will be ejected by a handsome major The proceedings of the Convention mention will be found in another column to the the and about 9 o'clock on Sunday evening, and died at St Joseph, on the night of the 1 2th I of October.
