I c Th* priadpil *r1g1aator at th* IwaHTMtto*, I j and the chief leader In lla short hat bloody exist- c ace, waa undoubted It Captain John Brown, I r who** coanactloa with the acenea^of^rl?^eace aad 11 teBtarfj aolorloa* I* the whole eoaatry. Capt. I * Brown made his ftrst appearance ta th* vicinity 1t of Harper * Ferry more thaa a fear ago, uecom- I < panted by bis two sons, th* whole tarty assuming , the name of Baaith. Thar Inquired about land fa I ?j the vicinity, made lavesdguuaw aa to the proh- I , ahiUty of finding ores, and for aooae time hoarded I T at Sandy Hook, one mile east of Harper's Ferry. I j Alter an abaencs of some months they reappeared , la th* vicinity, aad the elder Brown Mated or |, I leased a tarm oa the Maryland aid*, about four 11 miles Nai Harper'* Ferry. They bought a large I j umber of picka aad apadsa, aad thua oauflsmad 11 th* belief that they Intended to mine far area. I , They ware ssen frequently In and about Harper's I Ferry, but no suspicion seems to have existed that I , ?? Bill Smith" waa Captain Brown, or that ha la- I | and ?ntraofd1narj. Yet th* development ?Ttbe I j lot leaves mi doubt that bta visits to the Ferry I < and hi* l*a*e of th* form were all parts of his I , preparation for aa taaurrectioa which be supposed I | Waa to he successful la exterminating slavery In I Maryland aad Western Virginia. Capt Brown's chief aid wa* John E. Cook, a I , comparatively young man, who has resided in and I ( near Harper's Ferry for some years. He waa Irst I employed in tending a lock oa the eaaal. He af- I tei*wards taught school ou th* Maryland side, and 1 ( after a brief residence in Kaaeae. where It is sup- I posed that be became acquainted with Crown, re- I ; turned to the Ferry, and married there. He waa I regarded aa a man of some Intelligence, known to be anti-slavery, but not so violent (n the expression I' of his opinions aa to excite any suspicion*. These ; two men, with Brown's two sous, were the only I white ason connected with th* Insurrection that had been aeen about the Ferry. Ail were brought I ' by Capt. Browa from a distance, aad nearly att had been with him in Kansas. Tu CoanBMcmczxT o? m* lusvaaacrioa. The first active movement In tne insurrection was made about hair-past W o'clock on Sunday I nljjht. Wm. Williams, watebmaa on Ilsrpera I Ferry bridge, whilst walking across towards the I Maryland side was eel sad by a number of men, I who said be was their prisoner aad must come I with thena. He recognised Brown and Cook I 1 among the men, aad knowing them treated the I matter aa a Joke, but enforcing silence they coa- I 1 ducted him to th* armory,which he found already I! la their possession. He waa retained till after | daylight aad tbea discharged. The watchman I 1 who waa to relieve Williams at midnight, found 11 the bridge lights sll out, and Immediately was I ' seised. Supposing it an attempt at robbery be 11 broke away aad bis pursuers stumbling over the I < track be eaeaped. 1: The aext appearance of the iaaurrectlonists was 11 at th* house of Col. Lewis Washington, a Inua 11 farmer and slave owner, living about four miles I from the Ferry. A party headed by Cook pro- I coedcd ther*, roused Col. W. and (old him he I ufcs a prisoner. They also aelsed all the slaves 11 near the bouaes. took a carriage aad horse and a I large wagon with two horaaa. When Col. Wash- I iagtoa aaw Cook he immediately recognized him I i as a man who had called upon him some mouths I ' previous, to whom be had exhibited some valuable I arms la his paascaalon, Including aa antique sword I presented by Frederick the brent to Oen. Wash- I 1 ington. aad a pair ef pistols presented by Lafa- I yette to Washington, both belr-looms in the I family. Before leaving Cook invited Col. Wash- 11 ington to a trial of skill nt eboottng. aad exhibited I 1 considerable certainty as a marksmaa. When he 11 made his visit on Sunday eight be alluded to his I previous visit aad the coartrsy with which be I bad beee treated, regretting th* a*eesslty which I made it his duty to arrsst Cel. W. Ho, however. I took advantage of the knowledge be obtained by |' the former visit to carry ?W all the Colonel's vaU I liable *oU*ction of arms, which be did not r? I obtain uattl after the final defeat of the lnsurrec- I tion. From Col Washington's they proceeded with I him a prisoner la his carriage, aad twelve of hie I negroes in the wagon, to the bouse of Mr. AUstadt, I another large former oa the same road. Mr. All- I stadt and bis son, a lad of sixteen, were taken I prisoners, all their negroes wltbia reach forced to I join the movement, and they returned to thftftr- I mory at the Perry. AU these movements aeeifl to I have been made without exciting the lightest alarm in the town; nor did the detention of Cap*. ! ' Phelp's train at the apper ead of the towa attract I atttentloa. It waa not nntll the town thoroughly vmked * ?dfonndtha toldgsgwdadbyaetod men, and a guard stationed at all the avenum, that the people found (hey were prisoners. Jt t panic appears to have Immediately ensued, sod the number of the iaeurrectlonlsts at once magiil- I fled from fifty, which waa prefcnbly their greatmt I force, including the slaves forced to join, to from I Ave to six hua??i. In the dMmtlme. n number I f the workmen, knowing aetblng of whet hud oc- I car red, entered the armory, aad were Instantly I token prisoners, until at onetime they had act less | than sixty men coufined. Among ftnusfihns en- I trapped were Armistead Bell, chief draughtsman I of the armorfr Benj. Mills, master of the armory; I and J. K. P. Danger field, paymasters clerk. I Tbsae Ufroe geaOeanen ware lmprlaanad la the I engine-house, which aflerwsrds became the chief I fofteas of the insurgents, aad were not released alii after the floal assault.

I A.I did not wish to do It, but you forced me to ' I do It. Various questions of this kind were put to Capt. , Brown, which he answered clearly and freely, and seemed anxious to vindicate his course He . I urged that he had the town at his mercy, that he I I could bare burned It and murdered its iababl. tents, but did not. He had treated the prisoners ' ho had taken with courtesy, and complained that 1 I ha was hunted down like a beast. He spoke of I the killing of his ana, which he alleged was done . I whilst he was bearing a lag of true*, and seemed . I very anxious for the safety ef the wounded son. ; I Altogether bis conversation bare the 1 so press at a I conviction that whatever he had dona to free . slaves was right, and that in the war la which ha , I was engaged he was eatitled to ha treated with I all the respect of a prisoner of war. He seemed I folly convinced that be had beea badly treated, , 1 and had a right to eomplaia. | When first brought out be was supposed to be I mortally wounded, and ha bimsplf said ha was I dying. An examination of his wounds proved 1,1 them to be not necessarily fetal, and he ffterwards 5 I expressed a desire to live and to be tried by his 1 I country. la his pockets a considerable number of 1 papers were found, among which ware the articles I of agreement under which the insurrectionists I acted, and what purported to ho a aohodule for tbe 1 establishment at "provisional government." In J I his pockets were found nearly four hundred dole lars in gold, which was committed to the care of : Dr. Murphy, tbe Armory Paymaater.

[Na signature.] COMMAIOBB or TBI IaS(TRBSCTI05lSTS. t I Capt. John Brown, tbe commander and lnstiI gator of this most singular project, has been known Y by the name of " Osawattamie Brown," In which 1 I character he obtaiaad quite a notoriety through> I out tbe country as one of the leaders of tbe Freee I State party la Kansaa. He was the hero ?f fifty e | guerilla fights In tbe vicinity of Osawattamie, in X one of which bis son, Frederick Brown, was n I killed. His skill and bravery in this species ofwars I fore was undisputed. Un one occasion, when aih I tacked by one hundred and flftyMlasourlans, with 1. I a party of forty, be retreated to the woods, kept t. I them at bay, and after a fight of five hours had c I lost two men killed and one wounded, whilst his [1 I opponents left thirty-one dead oa the field, and ? took away with them about thirty wounded. ? I On another occasion be had a conflict with the I famous pro-slavery leader, Captain Fate, each I I party numbering about thirty. He killed four t I and took twenty-six prisoners, including the Capr. I tain, teho afterwards highly 00m pitman tod Capn I tain Brown for his bravery, saying that be '*roae o I about them, sword in band, and commanded a 4 I surrender, and they were obliged to make It." | The two sons who were engaged with him in I the Harper's Ferry invasion, were also with bini I in bis Kansas fights, Ottawa Jones, eapeciallv. >1 I figured extensively with his tether in Kansas, and 0 I bis residence between Lawrence and Ossnwatta I mle was destroyed by fire by the pro-slavery men ? I on the same day that bis brother was killed. i Thb Paisoxsas. " I Besides Captain Brown, the prisoners taken ara I his sob, who Is seriously wounded In the abdomen and not likely to Live; Edwin Coppock, who belongs to Iowa, and a negro named Shields Green, * who canoe from Pittsburg to join Brown. Ths . I stories of all these men are precisely the same; ,, I they agree as to tbe object they proposed to acI complish and the number of parties in the moveI ment. Young Brown, in answer to a question, said that there were parties In tbe North connectM r I with the movement?thus differing with his " I father oa that point. Coppuck, the other white I prisoner, is quite young, and seems less shrewd '' than the others. He said be did not wish to join I the expedition, and when asked gave a reply which < I showed the influence Itrown had over bun. He I said: "Ah! you gentlemen don't know Captain * I Brown, whaa he calls for as we never think of reI fusing to eotne." d I Seve al slaves wars found in tbe room with the 1 I Insurrectionists, but it is not believed that thev r- I were there willingly. Indeed Brown's expects'1, I tions ss to tbe slaves running to him was entirely '- I disappointed. Noae seem t? have come to him I willingly and in mast cases they were forced to i desert their masters. But one instance in which a n slave made a public appearance with arms la his 1 hands is related. A negro who had beea sbarplv s used by dAe of the town pqople, when he found he s .had a pike in his hand, used his "brief authority'i s to arrest the cittaea and have taken to the 1 Armory. Tbsatmist or m Paisonns. 1 The clttseas imprisoned by the Insurrectionists 1 all testify to their lenient treatment. They were 1 neither tied nor insulted, and, beyond the outrage '? of restricting their liberty, were not III tara a Capt. Brown was always courteous to tb?p, sad f at all times assured them they should not be in? jured. He explained his pur poets to than, and e whilst he had the workmen la confinement made a an abolition speech to them. Col. Washington 1 speaks of him as a man of extraordinary nerve, a He never blanched during the nssnult, though he t admitted daring tbe night that escape was impos* sibie, and ha would have to die. When the door * was brckea down, one of his man cried out, ' ! f s irrender " Tbe captain immediately ejied out, "There's onesurrenders?give him quarter;" anc [, at ti e same moment fired bisown rifle at tbe door.
