BY BAYAROTAYI.OIt.
0 fair young land, the youngest, fairest far
Of which ihe woridcan boast,
Whose guardian planet, Evening's silver star,
Illumes thy golden coast.
How art thou conquered, famed in all the pride
Of savage beauty still I
How brought, 0 panther of the splendid hide,
To know tby masters will!
No more thou sittest on thy tawny hills,
Iu indolent repose;
Or pour'st the crystal of a thousand rills
Down from thy house of snows.
But wii ere the wild oats wrapped thy knees in gold
The plowman drives his share ;
And whi-re, through carious deep, thy streams are
rolled,
The miuer's arm is bare !
Yet in (hy lap, thus rudely rent and torn,
A nobler seed shalt lie ;
Mother of mighty men, thou shalt not mourn
Thy lost virginity I
Thy human children shall restore the grace
Gone with thy fallen pines ;
The wild barbaric beauty of thy face
Shall round to classic lines !
And Order, Justice, Social Law shall curb
Thy untamed energies ;
And Art and Science, with their dreams stiperl
Replace tby ancient ease.
The marble, sleeping in thy mountains now,
Shall live in sculptures rare;
Thy native oak shall crownthe sage's brow—
The bay the poet's hair.
Thy tawny hills shall bleed the purple wine,
thy valleys yield their oil ;
And Music, with her eloquence divine,
Persuade thy bous to toil.
Till Has-per, as he trims his silver beam,-
No happier la'id shall see,
Ami Earth shall Iind her old Arcadian dream
Restored again in thee 1

Though he bloweth both hot and cold.

The Overland flliUL to Cu lifo nil a.
The rapidly growing importance, especially to
the people ot the West, ofthe newly opeued post
route lo Calilornia, does not seem to be fully comprehended.
Although at the time of the establishment of the
route by special act of Congress many, and experienced men of ali parts of the Union, did not con
Bidet the enterprise a feasible one ; yet, this soon,
has it shown for itself that it has beeu to the people and to tLe Government one of the most successful enterprises originated under the present
administration. Nor is it, perhaps, generally
known that, even now, within one year since the
first mail train started, there are safely and expeditiously transmitted by each overland mail, from
six to eight thousand letters—safely, in consequence of the Bpecial and immediate protection
furnished by the contractors, which, owing to the
uncivilized state of the country passed through,
must, necessarily, as well for the (safety of their
own property as the United States mail, be of such
n nature as to sender any depredations impossible ; and, although we have seen accounts ot short
detentions of mail trains by Indians, yet uo mail
has been in any way molested, as the carriers have
been fully prepared to resist any attack ; and that
these mails have been expeditiously transported is
fully pcoved by the fact that no one mail trip between St. Louis and Sau Francisco has consumed
over twenty-five days, thus making the overland
mail, in point of time, the most valuable route to
the Western States, as by either of the steamship
Central American routes from five to ten days more
time is required in the delivery of the California
mails to the cities of the West, and also that the
overland mail is a semi-weekly, whereas the other
lines are run but semi-monthly.
Agaiu, the establish men'.- and -nccessiul running
ofa mail line overland to California, now oue ol
the most important States of the Union, has
opened up through our own country, a sale and
reliable route lor emigration, which is already in
Bee to a considerable, extent. Il is one which is
an object by no means lo be overlooked, constantly bringing into market those immense tracts of
public lands hitherto entirely valueless to the Government.
Thus, though but a portion of its advantages
had been referred to, it is evident tbat whatever
many bave heen the short-comings of the Post-
office Department, it bas by this, tlie greatest mail
enterprise ever entered upon by any Government,
beeu a signal benefit, and is a most important, and
rapidly increasing advantage to the West,—Indiana State  Sentinel.

New En-gi,t"»q Dictionary.—The plan of the
Philological Society of London, (nr preparing a new
and complete dicsittuary of the English language,
has gained the famor and eo operation of many of
the most eminent BHtish philologists, and arrangements are now announced for securing the aid ol
students of English literature in the lini led States.
Ht is the intention of the committee employed in
editing this great work to include in tbeir vocabulary every word occurring in the literature oi
the lauguug!', mid tlie meaning iukV--iso at' each
word by appropriate citations. For this purpose
a large number of boobs must be read, and extracts made of passages containing the words in
question. As the piodueiions ol early English
literature are more easily accessible in, England
than iu (he United Statue, it is recomiaended to
American contributors to select a later- period,
Md accordingly the entire body of EtagHalti literature belonging to the eighteenth ceuiury has been
reserved for  their  pernsil.    The Hon.'George P.
March, of Bot-l.Qgton, Vt., a gentleman whose
wide range of scholarship, and valuable literary
connections, eminently quality him I'or Ilia office,
has accepted llie iippoiutuwnt of secretary lor lbe
United States„i*nd has issued ft circular requesting the co-operation of American scholars, witb
ample direction? aa to the method in which their
Berv.ces are to be inaih* available for the purposes
of the work. He requests those who are disposed
to engage in tbe enterprise to communicate to
him iheir names, and he will cheerfully furnish
them with any additional information in regard
to the plan ol detail.1'.. It is to be earnestly bo pud
that tbe enterprise thus happily commenced, will
find a cordial response from American scholars.
Should the project be successfully carried out, it
will enrich Etisrlish philology with a work which
will cast its predecessors lar imo the shade.—

Insurrection nt HnrpurV Feri';
Our dispatches, it will be Been, bring us news of
a serious difficulty at Harper's F'erry, and that too
of such an extraordinary nature, that we are' totally at a loss to understand, or glean from them
the actual truth ofthe matter. Though each succeeding dispatch, in its language,' points conclu"
sively to fearfu' results and general consternation
in the disturbed district, and estendiug to Washington, Baltimore, and lhe surrounding countsy,
yet reviewed carefully, the news presents much
lhat is ambiguous and conflicting, and requires to
be well weighed before it is credited as a whole.
Notwithstanding the positive assurance of the
dispatches, ofthe presence of OssawatomieBrown,
we are clearly unable to "attach to' them entire
credibility. The utter wildness and desperate
recklessness of the attempt, without the shadow of
a hope of success to any scheme, whatever that
scheme may have beeu, is altogether at variance
with the received character o! the man, which h
always been held to be that of great shrewdness
and sagacity.
The scene of action, too, carries with it an additional rensou for doubt. It ib incredible that any
man should haveselected sueh a place ior the opening of such a plot, immediately iu the heart of
a system of railroads connecting in a few hours
with cities that could and would send out a force
sufficiently large to crush a local emeute of any
magnitude.
We hope that the dispatches are greatly exaggerated, but whatever may be the facts of the case,
the insurrection, or riot, or whatever it may have
been, is now thoroughly suppressed, and we may
expect to receive full and reliable particulars iu a
day or two,
Frederick, Md., Oct. 17.—Au 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 trying to get the train through
the town.
The mob arrested two men who came in with a
load of wheat, and took the wagon, loaded it wilh
rifles, and sent it into Maryland. They are led by
about 250 whites, with a gang of negroes fighting.
Another account by the train says that the
bridge across the Potomac is filled with the insurgents all armed. Every light in the town was extinguished, and the hotels closed; all the streets
were in possession of the 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 the citizens and
pressed them into service, including many negroes.
When 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 the other
public works were seized by the mob.
Some were of the opinion that the object was
entirely one of plunder, to rob tbe Government of
the funds deposited on Saturday at the pa;
During the night the mob made a demand ou
the Wager hotel for provisions, and enforced thei
churn by a body of armed men. The citizens were
in a terrible state of alarm, the insurgents haviuf
threatened to burn the town.
Washington, Oct. 17.—On receipt of intelli
gence from Harper's Ferry, orders were issued ior
the three companies of artillery at Old Point, aud
a corps of Marines iu "Washington barracks, to proceed to the scene of disturbance without delay.
Baltimokb. Oct. 17, 4 P. M.—A train filled with
the military, consisting of the Law Grays, City
Guards, Shields Guard, and other companies, has
just left here for Harper's Ferry. Several representatives of the press accompany the train.
The train consists of seventeen cars and four
hundred troops, under command of Major Reynolds, with the Road Master and laborers to repair
lhe track, and telegraphers to mend the wires.
Three companies from Frederic city are iu advance
of the train. Col. Harris, with the United States
Marines, follows in a special train. We will not
reach Harper's Ferry before 10 o'clock to-night.
Three ofthe rioters are lying dead in the streets,
there are also three iu the river, and several are
said to he lying within [he armory enclosure. The
following is the list of the killed among the citizens and soldiers : Fountain Beckham ; Haywood,
a negro porter at the railroad station ; Joseph
Barnley. of Harper's Ferry; Evans Dorsey and
Geo. Richardson, of Martinsburg. Another
a negro named Lewis Leary, who has just died,
confessed to the particulars of the plot, which he
says was concoclcd by Brown at a fair held in
Ohio some two months ago.
Tbe rioters have just Bent out a flag of t-*uce
saying that if they are not protected by the soldiers here at present, they will hang all they capture.
The insurrectionists are commanded by Capt.
Brown, of Kansas notoriety. They numbered originally only seventeen white men aud five negroes,
several of whom were shot. Two men of the Martinsburg company were shot dead whilst charging
on the armory.
A portion of the insurgents have left here, under command of a leader named Cook, who, with
a Urge party of slaves, is supposed to be moving
towards Pennsylvania. Allan Evans, one of the
insurrectionists, is lying in a dying conditon bere,
having been shot through the breast. He is from
Connecticut, but has beeu in Kansas. He says
the whole scheme was got up by Brown, wbo represented that the negross would rise by thousands, and Maryland aud Virginia would be made
free States.
Fountain Beckman, a railroad agent, was shot
from the armory. The rioters are lying dead un
der the bridge, having been shot by the Shcpards-
town troops in their charge on the bridge.
No attempt was made to pillage tbe town or in.
suit females. Capt. Brown claims easy terms on
account ol his moderation.
Harpbr'h FbtiiiY, Oct. 18. 3 a. m.—The conflict
on the bridge was foujiht mainly by the railroad
tonnage men, fiom Martinsburg, led by Captaiu
Alberts.
Evan Dorsey, railroad contractor, was killed,
aud conductors Bowman and ILiHett were wounded. No damage was done to the railroad or lhe
bridge by tbe rioters. It is supposed that the-
rioters will be tried hy martial law as soon as captured, and hung 0u the spot.
The rioters have still lhe following persons in
their custody as prisoners: Armisled Ball, Chief
Draughtsman at lhe armory ~ John P. Duughor-
field, PaymasSer; Benjamin Mills, Master of the
armory; Clark Lewis Washington, a farmer and
prominent citizen ; John Alstadt. a farmer, and
his son, sixteen years old. *5he three last were
seized1 on tbeir farms, several miles trom the Ferry.
Geo.-Turner, a graduate of West Point-and ono
of the most distinguished ci&iaens, wawsbot yesterday,, whilst, coming into town. He dSed (bring
the nighl, He has a brother living lu Baltimore,
married into the Patlerson family.
Harpek'h Ferrct, Oct. 18-, 3 A, m.—The armory
has just been stormed and taken, after n determined resistance. Col. Shutt approached with a nag
of truce, and demanded the surrender of the armory. After expostulating for some time, the
rioters refused. The marines then advanced and
made a charge, endeavorin-Ui to break open the-
door with sh dge hammers, but it resisted alt their
efforts. A large (adder was then 08ed as a haltering ram, and tbe door gave way. The rioters fired
briskly a>:d shot three of the marines, wbo exchanged shots through the -partly broken door J
the marines then forced their way through the
break and in a few minutes the resistance was at
an end.
The rioters were brought out amidst the moefr,
intense excitement, many of the armed inititia
trying to get an opportunity to shoot them. Capt.
Brown and his eon were both shot. BBe lies in the
armory enclosure. He talks freely, and says he is
tho old Ossawattomie Brown, whose faats iu Kansas had such wide not.ee. Be says his whole object was to f?ee the slaves, and justified his actions.
He says that he had possession of the town, and
could have murdered all lhe people. J. G. Anderson was also shot down in the assault. He waa
from Conneetieut. The dead body ol a mau shot
yesterday was found within tlie armory.
Brown deefures lhat there were more engaged
in the plot Mian those wlio accompanied him. The
prisoners are retained within tbe armory enclosure.
B*uiMOits, Oct. 1&—Intense excitement. Nothing is talked of but insurrection. General Stuait.
through Gov, Wise, has communicated an order
to Gon. J. W. Watkins, ol tbis city, to prepare,
equip and mount immediately" a body ol men for
service in the mountains near Harper's Ferry,
where many insurgents have taken refuge. Troops
will leave tbis afternoon.
Huii'tR'n Fejsky, Oct. 18.—Soon after the
storming ihe armory, four dead bodies of the-
insurgents who were shot yesterday were fouud
within the enclosure.
The party originally consisted of Nnstrty-tWO
persons, ot whom fifteen are killed, two mortally
wounded, two unhurt, and three escaped with the
slaves.
On Monday morning soon after the assault oa
the Armory, some firing took place from the hills
on the Maryland shore, supposed to ba a parting
salute frcm seme who left on Monday morning.—
the lire was returned with a general volley, but
hoih parties ware too distant to do much damage.
A party Of volunteers have gone in pursuit ol tho-
fugitives,
Haki-kk's Furry, October 18,1:30 i\ m,—Tha
Secretary of War has telegraphed to Col. Lee that
Mr. Ould. the District Attorney for this district
will proceed forthwith to Harper's Ferry to take
charge of the legal proceedings against the prisoners, and bring them to trial,
The train is now getting ready to convey horses
and men from there to pursue the rioters iuto any
State or locality where they may have fled. Thin
is by order of the Prusideut, at the request of Gov.
Wise.
The first attack was made by a detachment of
the Cliarlestown Guards, who crossed lhe Potomac river above Harper's Ferry, aud reached ibe
building where the insurgents were posted by the
canal on the Maryland side. -Smart firing occurred, and tie rioters were driven from the bridge.
One man was killed here and another arrested.—
The latter ran out and tried to escape by swialining the river. A dozeu shots were alter him,
aud he partially fell, but rose again, threw his
gun away, drew his pistols, both of which snapped, drew his howie knife, all his heavy accoutrements oil and plunged into the river. One of the
soldiers was about ten feet behind—the man
turned round, threw up his hands aud cried "don't
shoot;'' the soldier fired, and 4ic man fell into
the water with his faoe blown away.hiscoat skirts
were cut from his person, and in liis pockets were
found a captain's commission to Captain F. H.
Leeman, from the provisional govurnnieut of the
United .Stales. Tbe commission VB8 dated October 15, 185!), and signed by A. W. Brown, com*
inaiider-iu-cliief of the army of tba provisional government of the United States of America.
A party of tiie insurgents, live in number, aimed with Miriie rifles, and posled in the rifle armory, were expelled by the Cliarlestown Guar/ds;
Ihey all ran for tlie river, and one who was unable
to swim was drowned, the oilier four swam ont tothe rocks in the middle of the Shanandoab, and
fired upon the citizens and troops assembled upon
balks. This drew upon tbern the muskets of between two and three hundred men, and not les*
than four hundred shots were fired at them from
Harper's Ferry, about 200 yards distant. One was
shot dead, the second, a negro, attempted to jump-
over the dam, but tell shot, and was not seen afterwards. The third was badly wounded, and tho
remaining one was taken unharmed. The white
insurgent wounded and captured died in a few moments in the arms ol our informant. He was shot
through the bi east, arms, and stomach. He declared then that only nineteen whites were engaged in this insurrection.
For nearly an hour a running and random firing was kept up by the Iroonn against the rioters.
Several were shot down, while many inanagetj to.
limp away wounded.
Some ofthe Maryland volunteers are in pursuit
ol Capt. Cook's party, and a body of forty mounted men left this afternoon for Harper's Fenry, to
pursue the rioters. It, is reported thai many of
tliem have escaped aud are secreted in the mountains.
A negro named Green, wlio was conspicuous in
(.lie lugitive slave riot at Harrieburg some years
ago. was among the insurgents.
BALTItfO&B, October 18.—-The following interesting narrative of the recent event al Harper's
Ferry, is gleaned from the report ot the editor of
the American, wlio accompanied the troops from
this city  and returned this evening :
"The principal orijrinator of this short but,
bloody existence of this insurrection was undoubtedly Capt. John Brown, whose connection
with scenes of violence in border warfare of Kan-
sae then made his name familiarly notorious to the-
win le country.
"Brown made his first appearance in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry more lli m a year auo, accompanied liy his two sons llie whole party assuming
the nameofSmith. He inquired about land in
the vicinity, nud made invesligations about the
probability of finding ores, and for some tirno
boarded at Sandy Point,a mile l'*5*t ofthe Ferry.
After an absence of some months he re-appeared
in the vicinity, and the elder Brown rented or
leased a farm on the Maryland side, about four
