Card from Senator Hale.

John I*. Hale published a letter in the Chicago Press and Tribune of last Monday morning, in reference to an attempt made by the New York Herald to implicate him in the Hamper’s Ferry insurrection. He cay» he shtill not undertake the task of vin--ViicaVng other gentlemen whose names are mentioned!but so far as relates to himself, can only reply by denying every word and sy 11 b!e, aind pronouncing the whole, from teegiamiwt* jto end, false, challenging the world for a particle of testimony, written or w-erbal, s-u staining the charge thus made. He never had atjy knowledge er intim ition fTu>«r *ay one that a?i insurrection or outbreak was Contemplated by John Brown or •any oa£ £'•« Virginia or elsewhere, and pledges himself, if evidence is laid before the Grand Jury of Maryland or Virginia, and they find a bill, to go there for trial. is a noticeable fact, that when Southern ruffians most brutally murdered “Old Brown's” sons, and his daughter, who witnessed one of these murders, became » raving mani|c,the Pro-Slavery journals found great amusement in talking of the “shrieks from Kajssa?.” Now, when the crazy old man with twenty vagabond associates, attempts to retaliate on the whole South, these same sneerers at human suffering are all carried away with panic terrors, or are themselves “shrieking” with rage and calling for vengeance upon the man thus driven to madness.

Cp-An extensive nang of horse thieves havjag their rendezvoflSpnear Ashland, Ashland county, Ohio, has been discovered and broken up. A man named William Bailey, who is respectably connected in Ashland county, was■ identified as the active leader of the gang, but escaped. An officer has been dispatched in pursuit of him. The gang have been in operation for considerable length of time, and over two thousand dollars’ worth of stolen property, consisting of horses and buggies, was recovered near Ashland. is ja remarkable fact that the very men and newspapers that villified and calumniated the Republicans, in 1855—6, when a - pro-slavery tnob invaded Kansas to force the “institution” upon that Territory, are now the most dilligent in the same line of business, when a mob of abolitionists invaded Virginia tq overthrow the “institution.” The Republicans denounced and do denounce both of these invasions, and yet the • Slaveryites attempt to make them responsible for both’!
