Their Arms, &c.
Company F., from Richmond, Capt. Cary, arrived at Harper's Ferry about 12 o'clock on the morning of the 20th. The insurrection had been quelled and all the surviving leaders were arrested, 'except John E. Cook, who had escaped with Mr. Lewis Washington's negroes. The negroes however, all returned. The name of the principal leader in the insurrection is Capt. John Brown, from Essex county, New York, and recently of Kansas.
On Gov. Wise reaching the Arsenal, old Brown received him with the utmost composure, though evidently suffering much from his wounds. He said 'Well Governor, I suppose you think me a depraved criminal. Well, sir, we have our opinions of each other.' The remark was made with no disrespect whatever. The Governor replied, 'You are in the hands of the State, and I have questions to ask, which you can answer or not as you choose.' Brown answered every question and made a full confession which will be published hereafter.
Brown said he was conscious that he was in the hands of the law and was prepared to meet his fate; that as far as he himself and those already in custody were concerned, he had no concealments whatever to make; that he had been mistaken in his calculations about assistance from others, otherwise he would have given much more trouble. He said that the whole plot was well contrived and arranged as far back as 1856, and that he had reason to expect assistance of from 5000 to 8000 men; that he looked for aid from every State, (Virginia included.) Upon being asked if any negroes or whites, in or about Harper's Ferry, were pledged to him, he declined answering. But upon reflection he framed an answer in these words: 'From my visits and negotiations and enquiries about here, I have a right to expect the aid of from three to five thousand men.'
Being interrogated very closely by Gov. Wise as to where the boxes of guns and ammunition came from, Brown said they were shipped from Connecticut to Chambersburg, Pa., direct to 'J. Smith & Sons,' in two boxes, and were hauled to Kennedy's farm in Maryland (the rendezvous) by drivers who knew nothing what they contained.
A Provisional Constitution was found on one of the rioters, (Stevens) and shown to Brown, to know if it was genuine. Upon hearing the preamble read he was the author chiefly, though the document was amended in their Convention. He declined answering questions that might implicate others until yesterday, when he said he had fixed upon Har-
per's Ferry in 1856 as the point to commence his operations against the Southern States; that he had fully examined its strength, ascertained the number of men in charge of it, and the probabilities of taking it; said he rented the Kennedy Farm in Mary-
land about two years ago for his two sons—Oliver and Watson—under the name of Smith, to secrete the weapons, &c., and had continued, from time to time, to add to his stores. He thought he would have succeeded had he held Phelps' train at Harper's Ferry; thinks he would then have been able to hold the place long enough to inspire confidence in him and his plans, and then his promised support would have come up.
A Mr. Morton McGee, from Kansas, was arrested on suspicion of being connected with the insurgents, and upon questioning Brown as to the connection of McGee with him, he asked for his name. Upon being told that it was Morton McGee, he broke forth in the most bitter denunciation of McGee as a pro-slavery man in Kansas. McGee was forthwith discharged. McGee then went out in pursuit of Cooke, and brought in many of the captured arms, &c.
Like Coppie and Stevens, Brown had no apologies to make, but justified his conduct from the beginning to the end.
The Governor asked Brown if they had taken the Government money. He replied, with indignation, that money was not his object: he had no object but to take slaves from their masters: they had money in abundance: and though they searched a passenger in the train for arms, who had in his possession $1,000, they did not molest the money.
The letters found on Brown's farm showed that the insurgents were in receipt of money from other parties. Brown's manner to Gov. Wise was most dignified and respectful. He claimed equality as to character and motive, and complained throughout of the treatment visited upon him: that humanity had governed his own conduct toward his prisoners, he had been treated as a ruffian and brute.
A discrepancy exists between Mr. Washington and Brown as to the surrender by the latter. Brown says he surrendered before the Marines entered the engine-house. Mr. Washington says Brown had a musket in his hands when he was struck by Lieut. Green of the Marines. Brown complained that his flag of truce had not been respected, his son having been shot while bearing the flag. Brown's son was not shot by the soldiers, but by a citizen.
The statement and confession of Brown is very full, and we shall publish it in to-morrow's paper.
The Citizens of Harper's Ferry had no suspicion of the intended insurrection, prior to Sunday night. About eight or nine o'clock, while the citizens were returning from church, they were summoned to stop by the strange men, armed with Sharpe's Rifles. The citizens were then arrested and carried to the Arsenal. At one o'clock Sunday night, the Rail Road train was stopped and the passengers were searched for arms. The train was then detained until six o'clock, Monday morning. The citizens at the Hotel became alarmed at the detention of the train, but being under arrest they could not communicate with any person. After day break, as the citizens came out of their houses, they were arrested singly and taken to the Arsenal. About 100 were thus quietly imprisoned. Brown now began to see that his expected aid was not coming to his assistance, and he despatched Cooke and others to the residence of Lewis Washington and had him arrested and brought to town in a wagon. The insurgents then returned to Mr. Washington's house and brought away his slaves and carried them into Maryland. Brown finding his prisoners were too numerous to hold, proceeded to choose ten of the most respectable of them, whom he confined in the Engine house, which was strongly barricaded.
During this time Brown's whole available force was engaged in sentinel duty around the grounds and public buildings—creating the impression that they were only a detachment of his force. Col. Baylor appeared at 11 o'clock in the day, and was stopped by a negro named Emperor. Col. Baylor insisted upon proceeding, when Capt. Brown told Emperor to fire upon Col. Baylor if he advanced. Col. Baylor retired and went around the town and collected together a party of citizens, and placed them under the command of Gen. Turner, Esq., who was afterwards shot. Col. Baylor, with the Winchester Company, drove the insurgents into the engine-house, and proceeded to assault it. The firing was then brisk from the engine-house. Several citizens were wounded and some killed at this time. Col. Baylor then summoned Brown to surrender. Brown proposed terms, which were, that his men and prisoners should be allowed to cross the bridge and given fifteen minutes' time to make their escape. This was promptly declined by Col. Baylor. The firing was then renewed on both sides, and continued until late in the night.
About 11 o'clock Tuesday night the marines from Washington City arrived, under command of Col. Lee. The engine house was then taken and the prisoners secured.
The names of the principal insurgents are Capt. John Brown and his sons Oliver and Watson, both of whom are dead. They were about 32 and 40 years of age, and are from Essex county, New York. A. C. Stevens, from Connecticut, aged 27. He is dangerously wounded, with two balls in the head, one in the breast, and a bayonet wound. He is a tall, athletic man, and of good appearance. He was suffering so much that he was not closely questioned. Edward Coppie, of Iowa, aged 24 years, of fine appearance and striking countenance. He is one handed and is a prisoner—is ready to meet any fate that may be adjudged him. He met Brown in Iowa and there enlisted last June. Albert Hazlett, of Pennsylvania, dead. William Leeman, of Maine, dead. Stewart Taylor, of Canada, dead. Charles Tidd of Maine, dead. William and Dauphin Thompson, son, of New York, dead. John Leary, formerly of Virginia, but late of Ohio, dead. Jerry Anderson, of Indiana, dead. John E. Cooke, escaped. (See the Governor's proclamation in to-day's paper.)
Captain Dangerfield Newby was from Ohio; O. P. Anderson, from Penn.; Leary, from Ohio and Copeland, from Ohio. One of these four is in jail in Charlestown, the others are dead. Emperor (the Negro) was taken prisoner. He is unhurt. He is
Rochester, N. Y. An old man who has ordinarily from South Carolina, was roughly handled with pikes, and a number of Cole's revolvers. There have been found also, good Sharpe's rifles, loaded pikes and Colt revolvers. These were brought in on Sunday night, together with spades, pick-axes, tents, blankets, one military field spy-glass, gold to the amount of $650 in gold and silver, and a call-bugle.
Brown said he had arms and ammunition for 1500 men, but he expected the assistance of 5000 men.
All the arms and ammunition were from abroad, and not from the armory at Harper's Ferry. The arms of the arsenal were not molested. Company F., from Richmond, had very little to do, and no fighting. Some few, who were promenading around Harper's Ferry, were invited into private residences, and treated with great kindness and hospitality. Governor Wise was received by the citizens of Harper's Ferry with the greatest gratitude and regard.

INSURRECTION
At Harper's Ferry—Authentic Details—Its Originators—Their Antecedents, &c.
We can perhaps give our readers, in the most intelligible and interesting form, the particulars of this extraordinary servile insurrection, by throwing into a connected narrative, all that we have gathered on the military expedition to Harper's Ferry, in relation to its inception, purpose, attempted consummation and defeat. We commence with
The principal originator of the insurrection, and the chief leader in its brief, but bloody enactment, was undoubtedly Captain John Brown, whose connection with the scenes of violence and border war fare in Kansas then made his name familiarly known to the whole country. Captain Brown made his first appearance in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry more than a year ago, accompanied by his two sons, the whole party assuming the name of Smith. They inquired about land in the vicinity, made inquiries as to the probability of finding ores, and for some time boarded at Sandy Hook, one mile east of Harper's Ferry.
After an absence of some months they re-appeared in the vicinity, and the elder Brown rented or leased a farm on the Maryland side, about four miles from Harper's Ferry. They bought a large quantity of picks and spades, and the impression was confirmed that they intended to mine bog ores. They were seen frequently in and about Harper's Ferry, but no suspicion seems to have existed that 'Mr. Smith' was Captain Brown, or that he intended embarking in a movement so desperate and extraordinary. Yet the development of the plot leaves no doubt that his visits to the Ferry and his lease of the farm were all parts of his preparation for an insurrection which he supposed was to be successful in terminating slavery in Maryland and Western Virginia.
Capt. Brown's chief aid was John E. Cook, a comparatively young man, who has resided in and near Harper's Ferry for some years. He was formerly employed in tending a lock on the canal. He afterwards taught school on the Maryland side, and after a brief residence in Kansas, where it is presumed he became acquainted with Brown, returned to the Ferry, and married there. He was regarded as a man of some intelligence, known to be anti-slavery, but not so violent in the expression of his opinions as to excite any suspicions. These two men, with Brown's two sons, were the only white men connected with the insurrection that had been seen about the Ferry. All were brought by Capt. Brown from a distance, and nearly all had been with him in Kansas.
THE CONSPIRACY OF THE INSURRECTION
The first active movement in the insurrection was made about half-past ten o'clock on Saturday night last. Williams, watchman on Harper's Ferry bridge whilst walking across toward the Maryland side was seized by a number of men who said he was their prisoner and must come with them. He re-
cognized Brown and Cook among the men, and knowing them treated the matter as a joke, but enforcing silence they conducted him to the armory which he found already in their possession. He was detained till after daylight and then discharged.
The watchman who was to relieve Williams at mid-night, found the bridge lights all out and immediately was seized. Supposing it an attempt at robbery, he broke away and his pursuers stumbling over the track he escaped.
The next appearance of the insurrectionists was at the home of Col. Lewis Washington, a large farmer and slaveowner, living about four miles from the Ferry. A party headed by Cook proceeded there, roused Col. W., and told him he was a prisoner; They also seized all the slaves near the houses, took a carriage and horse and a large wagon with two horses. When Cook, Washington saw Cook he immediately recognized him as a man who had called upon him some months previous, to whom he had exhibited some valuable arms in his possession, including an antique sword presented by Frederick the Great to General Washington, and a pair of pistols presented by Lafayette to Washington, both heir looms in the family. Before leaving Cook invited Col. Washington to a trial of skill at shooting, and exhibited considerable certainty as a marksman. When he made his visit on Sunday night he alluded to his previous visit and the courtesy with which he had been treated, regretting the necessity which made it his duty to arrest Col. W. He, how-
ever, took advantage of the knowledge he obtained by the former visit to carry off all the Colonel's valuable collection of arms, which he did not re-obtain until after the final defeat of the insurrection.
From Col. Washington's they proceeded with him a prisoner in his carriage, and twelve of his negroes in the wagon, to the house of Mr. Allstadt, another large farmer on the same road. Mr. Allstadt, and his son, a lad of sixteen, were taken prisoners, all their negroes within reach forced to join the move-
ment, and they returned to the Armory at the Ferry. All these movements seem to have been made without exciting the slightest alarm in the town nor did the detention of Capt. Phelps' train at the upper end of the town attract attention. It was not until the town thoroughly was up and found the bridge guarded by armed men, and a guard stationed at all the avenues, that the people found they were prisoners. A panic appears to have immediately ensued, and the number of the insurrectionists at once magnified from fifty, which was probably their greatest force, including the slaves found to join, to from five to six hundred. In the meantime, a number of the workmen knowing nothing of what had occurred, entered the Armory, and were instantly taken prisoners, until at one time they had not less than sixty men confined.
Among those thus entrapped were Armistead Ball, Chief Draughtsman of the Armory, Benjamin Mills, Master Armorer, and J. J. P. Deegan, Paymaster's Clerk. These three gentlemen were imprisoned in the engine house, which afterwards became the chief fortress of the insurgents, and were not removed until after the final assault. The workmen were imprisoned in a building further down the yard, and were released by the brilliant charge made by the railroad company's men, who came down from Martinsburg.
This was the condition of things at daylight, after which time Capt. Cook with two white men, ac-
companied by thirty slaves, and taking with them Col. Washington's large wagon, went over the bridge and struck up the mountain road toward Pennsyl-
vania. It was then believed that the large wagon was used to convey away the Paymaster's chest, con-
taining $14,000 in government funds, and also loaded with Minie rifles taken out to supply other bands in the mountains, who were to come down upon Harper's Ferry in overwhelming force.
These suppositions both proved untrue, as neither money nor arms were discovered.
The Excitement in the Town.—As the alarm spread around and people came into the Ferry, the first demonstrations of resistance were made to the insurrectionists. A guerrilla warfare commenced
