Cook's Sentence.

We see from tho Indiana Journal, that Attorney General McDonald, and United States Attorney Voorhees, have returned from Harper's Ferry, whither they went to defend Capt. Cook.

Capt. Cook is a brother-in-law to Gov. Willard, is a member of the Demcratic party, and consequently Gov. "Willard would do all in his power to clear his relation and friend. To this course no objection can bo urged, provided he uses none other than legal and honorable means. It is said, that Mr. Voorhees spoke most touchingly in defence of Capt. Cook, and caused the Jury to weep but failed in clearing him. Tho sentence however, pronounced upon Cook is different from that pronounced upon Brown and Coppio. Cook, though a resident of Virginia having lived there for two years having been married there is yet not found guilty of Treason! Why this difference of sentence "What mighty power has been brought to bear on the Jury? Party politics alone has done the work. Cook can be pardoned by Gov. Wise, without the consent of the Legislature but Brown and Coppie cannot—and should Cook be pardoned, the cause will be clear as the sun in the heavens! Brown, though guilty, has acted the part of a brave man he was fearless, and would do or say nothing inconsistent with the honor of a high minded man. He is found guilty of all the charges! Cook has manifested a craven spirit, was equally guilty wit-h Brown, participated in ever}'- act has manifested nothing of a manly, brave and honorable bearing and he is only guilty in part! But he is a Democrat—a brother-in-law to Governor Willard!

Tho whole affair is too barefaced fraud and partiality are stamped upon the entire proceedings. The country will yet hold these perpetrators of so foul a, deed to a strict accountability.

Query.

Will the Echo of Kev. O'Fiaherty inform his readers clearly and distinoLly what ho thinks of the charges bro't by this Ilomish Prelate, against those gentlemen who superintended the selection of homes for these unfortunate children? These charges are grave and serious and if true, all who were engaged in it, deserve the severest condemnation if untrue, they are slander-ous,-and he who utters them is unworthy of confidence, unfit to minister at God's holy altar, unworthy to wear the vestments of the church, he is destitute of these high, exalted and pure traits of character which would fit him for a spiritual guide if these charges are untrue, uttered, and deliberately reiterated as they have been, the Priest shows himself to be a slanderer, a hypocrite, an- Ahan in the camp of Israel he should bo exposed in all his hideous deformity, that the people may know the charaeterof the man employed by ti Romish jower to perpetuate, and extend and defend the despotisms of the Romish church. But the Echo is mum. He dares not utter his own convictions he fears the Priest he virtually sanctions and approves his course: reiterates his slanders and thus becomes particeps criminis, equally guilty with the Romish Prelate.-^

fiSs^The bogus democrats who voted for Ri lge for Auditor, have about all gone over to the Black Republican party. We hope they will stay there.— Review. —We don't know that there is any truth in this statement of our neighbor, but hope that such may be the case.— To our knowledge, a number of the democrats that voted for Ridge, are most excellent citizens, and we arc sure they will never deny or regret the vote given Ridge for County Auditor.— Among whom we might mention a man by the name ofWm. H. Newton, Esq. and some of the particular friends of Mr. John:

.II PROPHECY FULFILLED.—Thomas Jefferson once said that "the old Federalists would, at some future da\*. attemptto get into power-by stealing tho name Republican." The fulfillment of this prophecy has been reserved for our day and generation. Is it not?—Review. —Yes Charley, his prediction was fulfilled, and that too without being driven to the necessity of assuming or stealing the name Republican. His prophecy was fulfilled in the year 1856, in the election of James Buchanan tQ the Presidency. Was it not? He is tho identical man referred to by Jefferson.

CSJ^Tho Echo of Priest 0'Flahert.y is1 terribly wrought upon lest tho O'Connors should become Protestants, and resist tho dictates of his Romish master.

The Echo seems to think that no resistance should be made to Romish power that a tyrant Priest should be allowed to govern with supreme and unlimited control that he should bev allowed to take men by tho collar, who had been guilty of no crime, and drag them forcibl}7 from their Church, and inflict such physical chastisement as seemeth right in his own eyes. Poor pitiable Echo—he would kiss the Pope's big toe, if opportunity permitted.

The Priest's Echo dare not deny the charges which his confessor has brought against his personal and political friends. Nay, verily he opens his columns to the Priest permits him to slander and blacken the character of good men circulate these base charges as far and wide as is the circulation of his paper he allows the Priest to vilify and denounce his own personal and political friends, and dare not utter a word. The Pi'iest points his Echo to the Confessional, and the poor creature pales, and trembles, and cowers.

Sudden Death.

Mrs. R. was in tho enjoyment of her usual good health till the evening (S o'clock) of the day previous to her demise, at which time she first experienced symptoms of disease and within twenty-two hour's time Bhe lay cold in death. Her disease we understand, is supposed to have been what is termed congestive chills.

flST'The Priest's Echo, (the Review,) suggests that Priest O'Flahertv and Dr. Fry, have a pitched battle on the doctrines of Catholicism and Protestantism, and that the O'Couners. be put up as the prize. It would be useless to put up the ''Echo" as the prize since O'Flaberty, and his co-laborer, the father of lies, have long ago claimed him as their own.

Special dispatch to the N. Y. Tribune. Confession, of Cook. CtlARLESTOWN, NOV. 9,1859. The confession of Cook, which was yesterday read in Court, is jealousl}' guarded, for purposes hereafter to be developed. Its importance is hardly sufficient to warrant such care. The document, which filled twenty-one pages of foolscap, threw comparatively little new light on the Harper's Ferry affair. It was mostly a record of Cook's personal experiences. It related how he first became acquainted with Brown in 1856, just-after the battle,of Black Jack how he was induced to join with Brown, to co-operate witli him" in" the labors for securing the freedom of Kansas how certain expeditions.for rescuing slaves from Missouri, and setting them free in: Canada, were accomplished, and similar details equally irrelevant. Tho more important portions were those which told of the Convention held in Canada, at which the wellknown constitution was framed of the military training under Stephens, that Brown's party went through, altering' the orig'n 1 intention, which was to be instructed by Colonel Forbes, and of his own exploration of Jefferson county. Virginia, under Brown's directions, to prepare the way for the insurrection.

Gerritt Smith, Fred Douglas, Dr. S. G. Howe, and others, were mentioned in the confession, but not in a way to deeply implicate them. Their connection with Brown, however, involved the presentation of pistols, money. &c. Cook said that the time of the invasion would have been different but for the information given by Col. Forbes. But altogether, the confession does not bear very strongly upon the case, and it is the opinion of the Court that Cook has withheld the greater part of his knowledge. For certain reasons the paper is kept secret, and will not be permitted to be published at present.

jtSrThe New York Times, a paper of Douglas proclivities, thus speaks of the Democratic anarchy that has set aside the popular vote in New York, by frauds which throw the Cincinnati Directory poll lists of Kansas quite in the shade:

The Democrats will have an immense majority in this city,—larger, we have no doubt, than ever before, partly from the causes we have named, and partly from the operation of the Registry iaw as it has been administered. The Supervisors, by one of the most flagrant breaches of trust ever practiced by any responsible body of public men, put the execution of this law into the hands of the most reckless and desperate members of the Democratic party. The result is that one hundred thousand names have been enrolled as of men entitled to vote. The highest number of votes ever cast in this city was in 1857,—and the aggregate was then short of S3,000. It Ts"absurd to supoose that these registered names arc- ail those of genuine voters. Not less than 20,000 spurious names we are satisfied, have been inserted.—and illegal votes in the different districts will be polled to answer to them.

Dissolution of the Democracy. Hon. Mr. Miles, member of Congress from South Carolina, and the earliest member of the delegation from that State, is of the opinion that the "National" Democratic party is about giving up the ghost. In a recent address to his constituents, lie is reported as saying this: "The great National Democratic party, in spite of all appliances of patronage and place and the props and bandages of endless compromises, is, it seems about to tumble into pieces. The thin shell which has hitherto held together its rather incongruous elements has been cracked on the hard stone of squatter sovereignty. Douglas has rolled the egg, (full of embryo Presidents and Cabinet offices and placemen) off the icall, where it once seemed to be secure, and now all tho doctors in the land cannot mend "Ilumpty Duinpty-"

J6@r*Wc find the following notice of the illustrious Col. Forbes from his wife, in a New York exchange, and hasten to give him the benefit of it through our columns:

Whereas, my good-for-nothing husband having seen fit to advertise me. forbidding any person trusting me on his account, 1 wouM hereby warn all persons against harboring or trusting him on my account, as I shall pay no

debts of his contracting after this date. As ho has not been in the habit of paying any of my bills, nor his own either,

since I have been acquainted with him,

his caution is wholly unnecessary and uncalled for. Moreover, no ouc who knows him would be verdant enough to trust any bod jr on his account.

CORNELIA FORBES.

The l'ower of Congress over the Territories. A correspondent says: '. ''J udge Ranncy, of Ohio, stated in his debate with Dennison—Governor elect of Ohio—that the act of cession passed by Virginia, required Congress to abolish and prohibit slavery in the ceded territory. "If such tie the case at that .time, Virginia must have thought that Congress had the power to pass such a law for the territory, and certainly Congress thoughtso and passed tho law, as did .the new Congress at their first session, two or three years afterward. Under our present constitution, did they not rc-pass and re-adopt the same law or ordinance?

Forney for Douglas.

Mr. Fornev (whom some Republicans seem to "bo really desirous to tnako Clerk of the House of Representatives!) has a labored article, under his "Occasional" disguise, to show that Douglas ought to be the Charleston nominee.— That he is fully committed to tho support of the Little .Rebel, in that event, is well enough understood. He endeavors to persuade people, as an inducement to make this nomination, that his favorite can surely carry a sufficient number of-Northern States, together with the United South, to give him the election,- And this prospective candidate for one of the most influential positions at Washington, now in the gift of the Republican party, thus pathetically appeals to Southern ultraists. to ^e.reconciled to Douglas, as one who is their special friend: •'What has Douglas's offence been? He fought the Administration upon Lecompton in which, whatever may be said to the contrary, the South had no particular interest, and on the subsequent issue growing out of the rights of the people in the Territories, stands precisely where the Southern people themselves stood, until Mr. Buchanan attempted to seduce them by his fatal interpretation of that doctrine. ITe has been their steady supporter for twenty years, and has really done more for them than any other man now living. Will you take him, gentlemen of the South

Would it not be a most admirable exhibition of magnanimity for the Republican members of the llouse, to place this gentleman in a situation where he can serve this devoted champion of the South to decided advantage? If they did not have enough of electing Cullom, let them try Forney.—din. (raz.

JSSgrThe mail men over the Santa Fe route found on a late trip, the bodies of four persons, three men and a woman, who had been murdered by the Indians, lying by the roadside. Beside the body of the woman, sat a dog, watching eagerly her face, as if to catch a smile, or a word, of recognition. Encircling its neck was a collar bearing the name, ''Hoosc." The oftieer in command of the party took the dog by force away from where they buried the dead, and was bringing him in with the intetion of keeping him, but when they had proceeded about twenty-five miles he escaped and started bask towards the place from whence he had been taken. When the mail again passed, the faithful creature lay dead on the grave of his mistress. The troops took charge of the wagon and the goods that were left, and will take them to Fort Ililey.

Great Haul of Counterfeiters Lapeer, Mich. On Wednesday night of last week. Lapeer was thrown into great excitement by reason of the arrest of two men named Tozer, hailing from Davisonvillc, Genesee. Co., for passing counterfeit bills upon.the "Garden State Bank, llutsviiler Illinois." They succeeded in the nefarious design of swindling every merchant in the village, but tlicy threw up the cards when officer Cockett got upon their track.

Officer Cockett happened to be in the store of Mr. Davis, hardware merchant, when they came in, and his suspicions being aroused by their proceedings, he was immediately on the alert. After ascertaining the fact that they had actually changed a bill next door, which Mr. Davis had pronounced bad, he followed them to the Exchange Hotel, set a guard upon the door of their bod room where they had retired, until he could procure papers for their arrest. When tlmy were seized, one of them crammed a bill or two into his mouth, but was compelled to reluctantly disgorge.— One of the brothers, after the arrest, became somewhat communicative, and informed Mr. Cockett of certain particulars which induced him to seek further developments and therefore upon the strength of the prisoner's assertion he took a horse and buggy and started for Flint, to secure the aid of the officers of Genesee county. Officers Lound, Goff, and under sheriff Buckingham, at once took up the cue, thus gratuitously furnished, and procuring papers, set out to arrest a Mr. and Mrs. John Charles Casler. (a couple living at Davisonville reported to be worth several thousand dollars, and carryingon, ostensibly, the business of farming.) They learned that the woman had gone to Saginaw she was immediately pursued by Messrs. Goff and Buckingham. They found her at the Webster House, and when she found that justice -was on her track she exhibited a courage worthy of a better cause. As Mr. Goff attempted to seize her, she flung him away as if he had been a plaything, and producing a roll of bank notes, as thick as her arm, with a bound, placed it in the stove

a sccne better iniagin-

described—the officer jumping

to secure this cvidenceof.her guilt, was seized by the coat tail and sent whirling across the room. Again and again he tried to secure his prey, but AA a at each endeavor signally defeated-.until her triumph was complete, when she submitted to the arrest.\ (Two counterfeit bills of the same denomination, and on the same bank as above were found in her pocket.

All this time while Mr. Goff was securing Mr. Casler, the energetic under sheriff, Buckingham had made good the capture of a young man, name unknown, who had accompanied Mrs. C. to. Saginaw, and who was supposed to be an accomplice.

On the return of the officers from Saginaw, they, accompanied by officer Lound, went to Casler's house at Davisonvillo, where Lound succeeded in arresting Casler. He found upon the person of his pi'isoner but one bogus two shilling piece. He found, also, in tho house, three countei'feit bank notes upon different banks, and a quantity of bogus quarters wrapjicd up in a piece of brown paper, and secreted in a closct of a bedroom.'

On Thursday night, the Sheriff of Tuscola county succeeded in arresting at Pine Run, two individuals who had been passing the same kind of money in Tuscola county.

The prisoners in this village had also counterfeit bills upon the Lynn Mechanic's Bank, Massachusetts the State Bank of Ohio the Commercial Bank of Georgetown, D.

The Sorghum Crop.

rThe Indianapolis Journal says: It is thought the products of the present year's growth of sorghum will materially IcsSenthe demand for Cuban sugar and molasses, thus retaining within our own borders a large amount of nioney which would otherwise flow to Southern and eastern seaports. Nearly every farmer has from a half to three or four acres l.inted with the Chinessoeane, and with the experience of the past two years will be enablod to manafacture a large amount of the saccharinc articles for domestic use. The number of sugar mills sold during the past few weeks is indicative of the determination of the growers of the cane to give it a full and thorough test.— Ea6h year's experiments result in decided improvements in the manufacture of molasses and sugar, and ere long the business, we think, will be regarded as successfully established. —During a visit through Tama, Iowa* Powsheik and half a dozen other counties in Iowa, says the Dubuque Times, we observed that, on an average, about every fourth farmer had a mill in operation.

The increase of the busincssof raising Chincsse sugar cane in this State is rapid. Last year Tama county produced upwards of 11,000 gallons of molasses, and thisj'earwe presume the number will exceed 20,000 gallons. Jasper county produced 18,700 gallons, and people residing there think the yield this year is three times as large. The same is true of Marshall, Hardin and other counties farther north,— Should the increase of the culture of this plant continue a few years, iown will produce her own molasses, and her sugar too. should the process of granulation be perfected.

The price of sorghum molasses ranges from fifty to sixty or seventy ccnts per. gallon. Near the Miss., where foreign molasses is cheapest, home made commands only half a dollar farther from the river and remoto from railroads, it sells, we beleive, at seventy ccnts. It will be easily seen that whenever Iowa produces her own molasses and sugar, an iinmcn.se amount of money, which goes to the South will remain at home.

The Monster Balloon. Few people have confidence that the great balloon. New York, is intended to make any European trip. The story will pay. The whole square where the Crystal Palace stoop is enclosed with a high board fence: a big metre is put up to inflate the balloon: a small stove is on exhibition, to be heated with lime— a pile of silk called the balloon—and these complete the show. It is proposed to occupy the period of full two or three weeks to fill the balloon. In the mean time, reasonable exertions will be made to fill the pocket of Prof. Lowe. He makes all pay who enter, and not less than two thousand people have been in since Monday. He will pocket ten thousand dollars, and the gas can be turned off at any moment. His bill at the Gas House has been paid to the amount of two hundred dollars. & when that amount is in the balloon he will have another installment. The gas men are sensible. Whether a car can float to Europe or not, they care little for. But if any one wants gas he can have it, if he will pay for it. But the company have no idea of sending a Constable up in the clouds to collect that little bill."—<Boston Post>. ———<>———

The Racine (Wisconsin) Advocate has the following notice of an attempt upon the wife and daughter of United States Senator Doolittie:—As Mrs. J. Doolittlc and Miss. Doolittie were returning in a carriage from Kenosha, last Saturday evening, when about two miles north of the city in the woods, they observed a man of suspicious appearance in advance, and, hastening the horse, he made a spring atthereins. but missing his grasp, he endeavored to catch hold of the carriage, but the horse, a spirited one, answered the lash, and left the fellow where all his efforts to catch them fruitless, although he followed them at the top of his speed for about a half a mile, aiid once came within a few feet of grasping the carriage. Tho evening was so far advanced as to make it impossible to recognize the features of the features of the man, or describe his clothing.

NEW YORK, NOV. 11.—An accident

happened to Prof. Lowe's balloon last

night. During a gale, the huge globe

of the balloon was lifted with a jerk,

dragging the heavy sand bags that served as weights to keep it down, sev- eral feet, causing them to dance about like pupet [sic] dolls. A few rods to the east of the balloon, stands a small tent, containing rope and other articles in constant use.

Against the sharp ridge pole of this tent, the balloon was driven with great violence, breaking a hole in the muslin through which the gas rushed in dense volumes. In a few minutes the 68,000 feet of gas in the balloon had escaped, and the lately expanded globe presented the appearance of a collapsed mass of flaby [sic] rag. involving the proprietor in a loss of nearly $3,000. It will be repaired immediately, & inflation resumed. ~~~~~~~

I have suffered from the above-mentioned diseases for five years and have tried a great many physicians, but all to no purpose. I was advised by a friend to try your Blood

Purifier and Pills and did so. I was living in Cincinnati at the time, and I went to your office and purchased one bottle of the Purifier and one box Pills to commence with, and bless the day I found your valuable medicines, for I am enjoying good health at present and feel confident that the cure is perma-: ncnt.
