The McMicken Bequest. Tbe City of Cincinnati, on tbe 1st of November, will hare tho oontrol of a trust bequeathed to them by Mr. McMickin, for ednoatlonal purpoaei, whioh will roquire Im mediate attention. Tirenty-one pleoea of prop erty and twenty-alx tenementa under rent will require aonie vigilanoe. The root receivable in Deoeraber amounts to $1,600, but being inaufQoient to meat present outlays, the eieoutors proffer to pay tbe amount out of the peraonal property fundi. The papera oommunloated by the Trustees, with the following resolutions, havo been referred to the Committee on Law: Rnolvd, That tho surrender this day made to the City of Oinolnnatl, by tbe executors of Charles MoMloken, deceased, of the real estate aituated in tbia city and county, devised by said testator to the City of Cincinnati in trust, be and the same is hereby accepted, said surrender to take effect from and after tbe first day of November next ensuing. Rmolvtd, That tho said executors bs and tbey are hereby requested to pay from the funds of the said estate in their hands, the cost of the repairs ($1,000) now in progress on said property; also, the annuities ($2,200) falling due November 23, 1859; tbe taxes (2,500) due December 20, 1859; and to the Hon. George E. Fugh the sum of $1,000 as counsel fee in the case of Perin . The City of Cincinnati al., now pending in the Su preme Court of the United StateB. BuoUtd, That the President of this Board be and is authorised to appoint a standing committee on the devise of the late Charles HoMioken to the city. The suit Pirin of New Orleans is prose cuting against the city in the Supreme Court of the United States involves tbe question of the whole $400,000 as well as the personalty. The point urged is, that a city can't accept such a trust. He has been defeated in tho Court here, and no doubt will be above. Further Proposed Change in Route of a Street Railroad. A Committee of the City of Council, consist ing of Henry Pearce, J. F. Cunniugham and Henry Kierstcd, on Wednesday night re ported to the City Council upon the communi cation referred to them from tho "Pendleton and Fifth-street Market-space Railroad Com pany, asking to have their routo so changed as not to conflict or come in contact with other roads," and recommended the adoption of the following resolutions : Rttohed That so much of the resolution heretofore adopted, awarding them a route, be amended to read as follows: Commencing at Washington-street on Third-street, thence west to Martin-street, thence on Martin-street to Pearl-street, thence west on Pearl-street to Broadway, thence north on Broadway to Fifth-street, tbence west on Fifth-street to Main-street, tbence returning on Main street to Fourth-street, thence on east Fourth street to Broadway, thence Bouth on Broad way to Pearl-street, thence esst on Pearl street to Front-street, thence on Front-stroet, next the north curb, to Washington-street, the place of beginning. Jiuolvtd, Tbat there is horeby granted to said company the right and privilege to lay double track on Pearl-street, from Broadway to Martin-street on Broadway, from Pearl street to Fourth-street, and to construct in Fifth-street Market-spaoe a Spur Switch; said Spur Switch to be put down according to a plan to be furnished by tbe City Civil Engineer. This proposed ohange will be for determi nation at the next meeting of the City Council. Connect the Roads. A plan la propoted of connecting, by a stroet rallroad, the depot of the Little Miami Rail road, in the east part of the city, with the depot of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, in the west part of tb olty. The oonsent has been obtained of a large portion of the owneis of the property adjoining the streets designed to be passed over. The freight travel Is to be after night, and the pastengsr travel on the arrival of through trains during the Inter mediate hours, the route to be used by a street railroad oompany, as may be arranged by the City Council. The memorial is to be printed for the use of the Council, and the (ubject is the special order next Wednesday night. The draymen are pretty well satisfied that their Interests will not be Injured by the connection, and no very formidable opposition will be manifested by them. Buck, Banks and Faran. Amxo Domini Banks addresses the editor of the New Tork Timet a note with no date cr place attached declaring that since late last spring be, A. D. Barks, baa been "tbe aole editor of tbe Cincinnati Enqairtr, and solely responsible for its political eonrse; and that during his management Mr. Fabah baa had no more to do with the conduct of the Enquirtr than Mr. Bogbaban himself." Old Buck, the appointor, the re-appointer, and diiappointer, aooording to Banks, has evl dently made a mistake in the man; he ought to have let his old friend keep his place. Mr. Banks says: "It will not, I presume, be charged that the removal of Mr. faran was dictated by any want of attention to bis official duties. By common oonsent, no more vigilant, energetio and faithful Postmaster ever discharged the tanctions or trie office. Always at his post, he was almost a slave to the responsibilities of tne situation, ana tbat he made a model ouicer, even nis enemies will attest." Bishop Ames.

LATEST BY TELEGRAPH Trial of the Virginia Insurrectionists. CHARLESTOWN, VA., October 27. The storm of last evening prevented the transmission of the latter part of the pro ceedings of the Court. The Court finally re fused l atpme the trial, and tbe whole afternoon was occupied iu obtaining a jury. Brown occupied a cot, in which he was car ried into the Court-room. The trial will be returned this morning, whon couuacl for Brown is expected from Ohio. During the seasioa of the Court on Wednes day afternoon, prisoner Browu laid with bis eves olosed. Thoucrh evidently not much in jured, he Is determined to resist tbo pushing of his trial by all means in bis power, me jury was then oalled and sworn. The Court ex cluded those who were present at Harper's Ferry, and also those who had formed or ex pressed any opinion tbat would prevent the oiling of the case impartially. Twonty-four, mostly farmers from a distanco, some owning a few slaves, were seleoted as competent jurors. Out of these the counsel for the rjrisonor struck eight. Twelve were seleoted by ballot from the remaining sixteen, as follows: Richard Timberlako. Joseph Myers. Thomas . Watson, Jr., William Rightntoue, Aaa Bart, John O. Motlura, Jacob J. Miller, Thomas Usborne, George W. Boyer, John C. Wilkshire, George W. Tapp and William A. Martin. The jury were not Bworn on tbe case, but tho Judge charged them not to converse upon the sub- jeot, nor to permit others to oonverse with thorn. John Copeland, the mulatto prisoner, from Oberlin, Ohio, has made a full confession to the United States Marshals, Mr. Martin, of Virginia, and Mr. Johnson, of tbe JNortbern District of Ohio. He has given tbe names of parties at Oberlin, who induced him to go to Harper's Ferry, who furnished the money for bis expenses, ko. Ha alio states a movement of a similar character was contemplating in Kentucky about tbe Bame time. Many persons in Northern Ohio, whoso names have been heretofore mentioned, are directly implicated. His oonfesaion is withheld from the public until tbe trial is over, by order of Governor Wise. Mr. Johnson was shown to-day a largo number of letters implicating Gerritt Smith and a number of prominent men of Oberlin, Cleve land and other points in Ohio.. Among tbe letters is one signed Horace Greeley & Co., that had Inolosed $41; seven lotters from Kansns and two from Ohio. It was direoted to J. U. Kail, one of the killed, but as be bad been a correspondent of the Tribune, this letter had evidently Inclosed his pay. Another letter from Captain Brown to one of bis sons, dated April 16, 1859, details a visit to Gerritt Smith, Fotersboro, whioh tbo writer regarded as highly encouraging, and says that Smith gave bim $100, and tbat he also reoeived at bis house a note that be con sidered good for $200 more; also, tbat Smith had written to bis friends at tbe East that $2,000 must be raised for Brown, of wblch ho would ogree to furnish one-firth himself, lnere is also a notice of a draft from tho cashier of the New York State Bank, sent him by tbe direction of Gerritt Smith, dated Albany, August 29, 1859. Marshal Johnson also has a list of the of ficers of the "Provisional Government," and a list of contributors to the projeot. He left for Cleveland last evening, taking copies with him. The examination made by him settles the fact that this movement had long been matur ing; that many more prominent States have given money and Influence In its behalf, and when the facta are made publio a sensation may be expecteu. Brown was brought into Court this morning. being able to walk, but he immediately laid himself down in his cot at full length within the Bar. He looks considerably bettor, the swelling having left his eyes. Senator Mason is among tbe spectators. Messrs. Harding and Hunter represent the Commonwealth and Botts and Green the prisoner. Mr. Botts read the following telegraphic dispatch, received this morning: AKRON, Ohio, October 26, 1859. T. J. Faclknkb and Lawsox Butts, Charlettown, Va,; John Brown, leader of the insurrection at Harper's Ferry, and several of his family have resided in this county for many years. Insanity is hereditary in that family. His mother's sister died with it, and a daughter of that sister has been two years in the Lunatic Asylum. A son and daughter of his mother's brother have also been confined in the Lunatic Asylum, and another eon of that brother is now insane and underdose restraint. These faots oan be conclusively proven by witnosses residing here, who will attend tbe trial if desirod. A. H. LEWIS. The telegraph operator at tho Akron office, Win. C. Ailen, adds to the above dispatch that A. II. Lewis is a resident of that plnoo and his statements aro entitled to implicit credit. Mr. Botts said tbat on receiving the above dispatch he went to the jail with bis associ ate, Mr. Green, and read it to Brown, and be was desired by the latter to say that in his father s family there Has never been any in sanity at all.' On his mother's side there have been repeated instances of it. ... i i 1 r i !' . . i r lie aaas, nis ursi wuo ouuwou symptoms oi it, which, was also evident in his first end second sons by that wife. Some portions of the statement in the dispatch he knows to be correct, of othor portions ho is ignorant. Ho does not know whether his mother's sister died in the Lunatic Asylum, but he does be lieve a daughter ot that sister baa been two years in an Asylum, and thinks a son and daughter of his mother's brother has been confined in the Asylum, butho was not awarn of tho fact that another son of that brother is now insane and in close connnemont. Brown also desires his counsel to say that he does not put in any plaa of insanity, and if be has ever been at all insane he is totally uncon scious of it; yet he adds that those who are most insane generally suppose that they have more reason and sanity than those around them. For himself, he disdains to put in that plea, and seeks no immunity of that kind. Thia movement is made totally without his approbation or concurrence, and was unknown to him until the receipt of the above dispatch. Brown here rained himself in bis bed and said, "I will add, if the Court will allow me, that I look upon it as a miserable artifice and pretext of those who ought to take a different courie in regard to me, if they took any at all, and I view it with contempt more than otherwise. As I said to Mr. Green, insane persons, B far as my experience goes, have but very little ability to judge ot their own sanity, and if I am insane of coarse I should think I know more than all the rest of the world, but I do not think so; I am perfeotly unoonsoious of insanity, and I rejeet, so far as I am capable, any attempt to interfere in my behalf on that score." Mr. Hotts stated that he was farther in structed by Brown, that as he regrets this plea entirely and seeks no delay for that reason, he would repeat to the Court his request in ado yesterday, that time be given for the arrival of foreign eounsol, wblch he has now reason to expect. Yesterday afternoon a dispatch was received from Cleveland, Ohio, signed Daniel Tilden, dated tbe 20th inst., asking of Brown whether it would be of any use for oounssl to leave last night. To this dispatoh an answor was returned tbat the jury would be sworn this morning, and Brown desired the counsel to come at once. The telegraph operator stated that this dispatoh was sent off at once, in ad vance of tbe dispatches sent by the reporters, and he had learned this morning tbat it was sent before the storm that last night inter rupted communication, so that the oounsel ought to reaoh here by twelve or one o'clock to-night. The course taken by Brown this morning makes it evident that he sought no postpone ment for the purpose of delay, ss he rejects the plea of insanity. Still, in bis opinion, he can have a fairer trial if the defense were con ducted by his own counsel than if he were de fended by counsel at present here. Mr. Hun ter observed that the prisoner's counsel having renewed the motion of yesterday for dolay for a specific period, indicated and based upon in formation received in the form of a telegraph I dispatch, tbe question now was whether there was sufficient grounds in this additional Infor mation to change the deoisloa announced by the Court yesterday, on the same motion. If the Court did not at once deem this circum stance wholly insufficient before the decision was made, the counsel for the Commonwealth deemed it their duly to call attontion to two or three matters oonnected with the affair. Though desirous to avoid forestalling the trial of this case, in regard to the present prisoner at the bar, they woro prepared to prove that he had made open, repeated and oonstant ac knowledgment of everything charged against him. He bad gloried in it, and we have but an exhibition of the same spirit and the same purpose in what be announoed, that ho would permit no defense of insanity to be pat In. The point was fill ly discussed by the counsel on both sides. Tho Court stated that he must see it in this case as in any other, that proper causo for delay was made out before granting such an application. In the present case he could not see that this telegram gave any as surance tbat the additional counsel intonded to como. The prisoner is now defended by those who will take care that no improper ev idence is adduced against him and that all proper evidence in his behalf shall be pre sented. Ho could not see that proper cause for dolay was inado out. The expected coun sel might arrive before the case was closed And could then see all the testimony taken ; thus tho prisoner might have the benefit of their advice, although tne case now proceeds. As to the matter of insanity, it was not pre sented in reliable form ; instead of mere state ments, we shou'd have affidavits or something of that character. He thought, therefore, that tho jury Bhould be sworn and the trial proceed. Tho jury having been sworn, the Court direoted that the prisoner might forego tho form of standing while arraigned if he dosired. Botts put the inquiry to the prison er, and he continued to be prostrate in his cot, while a long indictment, filling seven pages, was read first for insurrection, seoond treason, aud third murder. Mr. Harding addressed the jury and pre sented the facts of tho case, detailing the scenes of the armory; killing the bridge keeper, and subsequent killing of citizens named in the indictment; seising Lewis Washington and Alstadt, with their slaves; forming a new government within the limits of the Commonwealth; holding citiiens as prisoners of war, and subsequent capture. He thon read the law on treason; lovying wnr against the State; giving comfort to its ene mies, or establishing any other government within its limits, the punishment of which was death; also against advising with a slave to produce insurrection, punishable with death; the murder of citizens, a capital of fenseeither of tbo charges of the indict ment, if proven, being punishablo with death. All the charges would be distinctly proven beyond the possibility of a doubt, lie would show that the prisoner's whole objeot was to rob our citizens of tbeir slaves and carry them off by violence, and was happy to say, against their wills, all of them hav ing escaped and rushod back to their mas ters tho first opportunity. He concluded by urging tho jury to cast aside all prejudices, and to give the prisoners a fair and impar tial trial, and not to allow their hatred of Abolitionists to influonco them against those who have raised the black flag on the soil of this Commonwealth. Mr. Green, on tbe part of tho prisoners, gave the law applicable to tho case, reminded the lury that they are judges of law and faot, and tbat if they have any doubt as to the law or fact of the guilt of this prisoner they are to givo the prisoner the benefit of such a doubt. In regard to the first of the charges, treason, or a specific act of treason, it must be proven that he attempted to establish a separ ate and distinct government, and it must also be proven what was proposod on treasonable acts before you can convict him on those oharges. If it is Intended to rely on his con fessions to prove treason, the law distinctly says: No conviotion oan be made on confes sions, unless made in open Court; there must be sufficient evidence to provo the charge, in dependent of any confessions out of Court, and it requires two distinct witnesses to prove each and any act of treason. Second Conspiracy with slaves to rebel and make insurrection. The jury must be satisfied that such oonspiring and suoh conspiracy was done within the State of Virginia, and within the jurisdiction of this Court. If done in Maryland, this Court could not punish the act; and if done within the limits of the Armory, at Harper's Ferry, it was not. Attorney-General Cushing had decided this point, with regard to the Armory-grounds at Harper's Ferry, which opinion was read to the jury, ahowing that persons residing within the limits of the Armory cannot evon be taxed by Vir ginia, and tbat crimes committed within the said limits are punishable by the federal ooarts. Although the jury may have a doubt about the law on this subject, they must give the prisoner the benefit of that doubt; and npon the last count, that of murder, the crime having been committed within the limits of tbe Armory, this Court has no jurisdiction; and as in the oase of Beokham, it was committed on the railroad bridge, and therefore within tbe State of Maryland, which State olaims jurisdiction up to the Armory grounds. Although he may be guilty of murder, it must be proven that it was willful, deliberate and premeditated murder lo make it a capital offense. If, otherwise, the killing was murder in the seoond degree, it was punishable by imprisonment. If there is any doubt on these points, you must give that doubt to the prisoners. He was satisfied tbat the jury will not allow any outside excitement to affect them, that tboy will do their duty faithfully and impartially. Mr. Botts Impressively addressed the jury, aaying rue oaee umurv vuoiu was an unusual one, ana in many respeow sucn as nas before been unsnown. n was a jury inai caning lor oalm, nnimpassioned deliberation, and not seizing upon loose statements to induce a oon viotion. The jury muBt be morally above all prejudices and influences, and bearing in mind that the mission of the law is not to wreak ven geance, and that the majesty of the law la best maintained when judges, oounsel and jury rise above those Influences. The burden of proof is on tbe Common wealth, and if she fails to substantiate her charge you are bound to do yonr duty im partially, and find your verdict on the law and testimony that the Commonwealth may be able to present you. He then proceeded to go over the same grounds taken by Mr. Green on each of the three points of Indictment: treason, Insurrection and murder. He said it is no difference how muoh the jury may be con vinced in their own minds of the guilt of the prisoners, it Is essential that they must have firoof of positive guilt. Mr. Botts, in review ng the law bearing on tbe oase, evinced a determination to avail himself of every advantage that tbe law allows and do his duty to the prisoner earnestly and faithfully. It is due to tho prisoner to state that he believed himself to be actuated by the highest and noblest feelings that ever coursed through a human breast. His instructions were to de stroy neither property nor life; they would prove by those gentlemen who were prisoners, that they were treated with respect, and that they were kept Impositions of safety, and that no violenoe was offered to them. These faots must betaken into consideration and have their due weight with the jury. Mr. Hunter followed, staling his purpose to avoid anything by way of argument or explanation not immediately connected with the particular issue to be tried, and to march straight forward to the (ttainment, so far as may oe in our power, to the ends of justice, by either convicting or acquitting the pris onor at the bar, with a single preliminary remark, explanatory of his position here as an assistant prosecutor, which had been as signed to him by the Governor of the Com monwealth, as well as by his Honor the Judge. He passed at once to a review of what was the law in reference to the cue, and what he expected to be able to prove to the satisfaction of the iury. First, as to high treason. This was probably the first case of high treason or treason against the State that had ever been tried here by our State Courts, and he fervently hoped that it would be the last that would ever occur. Probably in some degree, not only upon our decision, but on our prompt decision of this case, will tbat result depend. He thou wlit his friends on the other side wore to'ully mistaken in their views, that the law as it. now stands on the statute book in reference to overt acts was either in the language or substantially that contained in the constitution of the United States; on the contrary tbe phraseology had been varied from the constitution, and if ho conceived, for a plain and palpable purpose, all the powers vested in the Federal Government were givsu with gi-eat jealousy j this was a historical fact perfectly familiar, and consequently, while treason against the United States consists only in levying war against them or adher ing to their enemies or giving them aid, and there is a provision that no person, shall be bo convicted of treason unless on the testi mony of two witnesses or some overt act or confession in open Court : yet the State law is more full and includes within Its definition of treason alio the establishing without the authority of the Legislature, within its limits, separate from the existing government, or holding or executing under suoh usurped gov ernment any office professing allegianoe or naeuty to it, or restricting the execution of the law under color of its authority; and goes on to deolare that such treason, if proved by tho testimony of two witnesses to the same overt aot, or by confession In court, shall be pun ished with death. Any one of these acts constitute treason against this Commonwealth, and he believed the prlsonor had been guilty of each and all these aots, which would be proved in the clearest manner, not by two, but by a doten witnesses, unloss limited by tbe act of time. The prisoner had attempted to break down the existing governmentof the Commonwealth and establish on the ruins a new government; be bad usurped the office of Commander-in-Chief of this new government, and together with his whole band proposed allegianoe and fidelity to it. He represented not only tbe oivil authorities of the Government, but our own military; he la doubly, trebly and quadrupedly guilty of treason. Mr. Hunter proceeded again to the question of jurisdic tion over the armory grounds, and examined the authority cited on the other side by Attor ney General Cushing. The latter was an able man, but came from a region of the country where opinions are very different from ours in rotation to the powers of the Federal Govern ment. As affooting State rights, our courts have decided adversely to Mr. Cushlng's views for all time past. The jurisdiction of this Court of Jefferson County ,in regard to oriminal ofl'onsei committed at Harper's Ferry, has been uninterrupted and unchallenged, and whether they were committed on the Government property or not. He citod an Instanoe which ocourred twenty nine years ago, where an atrocious murder was committed between the very shops in front of which these men fought their battle, and the oriminal was tried here, convioted and executed under our laws. There was a broad distinc tion between cessation of jurisdiction by Vir ginia to that of the Federal Government, and the mere assent of States, that the Fcdoral Government should become a land Bpoiler with in its limits. The law of Virginia, by virtue of which the grounds at Harper's Ferry were purchased by tho Federal Goverment, oeded no Jurisdiction. Brown was also guilty on bis own notorious confession, of advising the con spiracy. In regard to the oharge of murder, the proof will be that this man was not only aotually engaged in murdering our oitisens, but that he was the chief direotor of the whole movemonts; no matter whether he was present on the spot or a mile off, he is equally guilty. In oonolusion, Mr. Hunter said he hoped the oase would be oonsldered with falrnoss and im partiality, without fear, favor or affeation, and he only asked that the penalty might be visited on the prisoners which our safety requires, and whioh the laws of God and man approve. The Court then took a reoosj. The Plan of the Insurrectionists. NEW YORK, October 27. Herald publishes a series of letters of Col. Forbes's, the author of the Instruction books for a guerrilla warfare, found at Brown's house, to various Republicans, principally to F. B. Sanborn, Seoretnry of the Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Pooiety, and Dr. S. G. Howe, of Boston. One letter addressed to the latter, dated May, 1858, is prefsoed by tbe following memorandum: "Please show to Messrs. San born, Lawrence & Co. Copies will be sent to Gov. Chaso, who found money, and Gov. Fletcher, who contributed arms, and to others interested, as quiokly as possible." The letter gives the plans of Forbes and Brown for an InflnrrAnt.lnn.

A hey oould be sent with suoh speed to Canada that nursuit would hA rtenftlnfia. Tn OantAm r.Ann. ationa were to be made for their Instruction and employment. Any disaster which might befal a stampede would at the utmost compromise those only who might be engaged in that single one; therefore, we were not bound in good faith to tho abolitionists. As we did not projudloe that intoreBt to consult more than those engaged in the very projeot against tho chance of loss by occasional accidents, should be weighed the advantages of a series of suo eeseful runs. Slave property would thus become untenable near the frontier. That frontier would be pushed mors and more southward, and it might reasonably be expected that the exoite inont and irritation would impel the - pro elaveryites to commit some stupid blunders. The Missouri frontier being so far from the habitable part of Canada, and tbe politioal parties anti and pro-slavery being in tbat Stato so nearly balanced, suggested a peculiar aotion in thatqunrter, whioh would depend in a great measure on affairs in Kansas. Brown had a different scheme. He proposed, with some twenty-fire or fifty oolored and white men, well armed and bringing with them a quantity of spare arms, to beat up a slave-quarter in Virginia, To this was objeoted that no preparatory notioe having been given to the ulavos, no notioe could with prudenoe be given them. Tbe invitation to rise might, unloss tbey were already in a state of agitation, meet with no response, or a feeble one. To this be replied that be was sure of a response. He calculated that he could get on the first night from two to five hundred. Half or thereabouts of tbe first lot he proposed to keep with him, mounting one hundred or so of them, and make a dash at the Harper's Ferry manufactory, destroying what be oould not carry off. The other men, not of this party, were to be sub -divided into three, four, or five distinct parties, eaoh under two or three of the original band, and would beat up slave-quarters, whenoe more men would be sent to Join him. Tbe burden of Forbes's lotters are gravlom complaints for not rooelving the aid promised for his servioea, which waa to bo aent to Parla for the aupport of Forbes's family. In one letter he says : On the first of Mav. 1858, 1 had an Interview with Senator Wm. U. 6eward, of New York. I went fully into tbe whole matter, ia all its bearings. He expressed regret that he had been told, and said that be, In his position, ought not to have been in formed of the olrcumstanoes. In part I agree with him, and in part I differ. I regret that the misconduct of the New En glanders should have foroed me to address myself to him, but being now enlightened on the subject, be oan not well let tbia bnsiness oontinue in its pres ent crooked condition. A cotton speculation waa dovised by Brown, bnt objeoted to by Forbes, Brown told him that Amos Lawrence, of Boston, bad promised bim $7,000 when hostilities had actually torn menosd, All these letteri wars written In 1568. Captain Cook Taken to Virginia. CHAMBERSBURG, PA., October 27. Captain Cook was taken to Virginia to-day, on the requisition of Governor Wise, by ofSoers from Virginia, accompanied by the parties that arrested him. Three Sharp's rifles and a small lot of ammunition were found in tbe woods near this place, this morning, by some boys who were hunting rabbits. One of the rifles has "C. P. Tidd's" name on the mount ing, the others are both marked "C. B." They were no doubt placed under the bushes last nlgbt by the men left by Captain Cook on the mountain. The Washington pistol has not yet been recovered, and nothing has been seen of the men. From Washington.
