We sec a tale goingtherounds that John Brown's gun, the one he defended himself with at Harper's Ferry, was for -.de hy somebody, having been captured by Mr. h'andolph, who was a volunteer at the time of the i'.rown raid at the Ferry. It happens that this junior was at Ilarpe|'> Feny as an otlicer ot the old armory at that place, ard was at that capture of .loliii I'.row n.

Old John was thrown right at, almost on, <?ur feet iu the scrimmage, but he had no j vun in his hand, and we have no idea that hi- could he distinguished from the others. This gun is no doubt one of a lot of tit-: i?'?-n or twenty boxes that we got the next d ?> at John's headquarters on the Maryland side of the river, and which were distributed all over the country, it was John Brown's gun only so far as they all belong- ? d t.i him.?The lioanoke Valley. < 'on.-tkvative Xkokoes.?Jt is believed that but very few negroes voted the Conservative tiekrt yoterday.

It was to have transpired at halfpast 1 o'clock in the afternoon, but owing to the high wind was deferred. One of the poles that sustained the balloon broke I before the performance began, and a new j pole had to be substituted. Tins delayed the ascension until sundown. A furnace to convey hot air to the balloon had been built, and a great wood tire was roaring underneath. The balloon began to iill and soon rounded itself into an immense oval. A dish ot alcohol was placed underneath, and the smoke burnt out, and everything was ready to 4< let go." The balloon was a putched-up affair of hemp linen, and the basket, little larger than a market handbasket, was fastened to it by small ropes. When everything was in readiness, a bus- ; tling, tall, thin man, with a blmde moustache, who was the proprietor of the bal- | loon, as we learned, and who was superI vising the aftair, Walked to the back end of the lot and said, Come on, Bill," and a wretched, blear-eyed, drunken man came ! staggering up, his hair and garments dripping with the water that had been dashed upon him to waken him from his drunken torpor, and he mechanically came forward as one whose ideas were confused, and, staggering up to the basket, put one foot in. j The word was given, the ropes were loosened, the poles dropped, and the balloon shot into the air, aud the drunken man, standing up and clinging to the ropes, waved his handkerchief to the lessening world below. As it was a hot-air balloon of small dimensions, it took its own course, and came down any where as soon as the hot air that upheld it was cooled and exhausted. Everybody expected him to drop in the river," but* it sailed over and beyond it, and whee it reached the Davenport blnlT it began to descend quite rapidlv. just grazing the roof of Otto King's house.

J ostmaster-General Creswcll stated today that he had received no information of a strike or rebellion against Mrs. Van Lew the postmistress at Richmond, and that he had ordered no clerks from this city to take charge of the work in that office. The Fenian Raid. At the Cabinet meeting to-dav the Fenian demonstration on the Canada* border was one of the themes of discussion, and the information derived from the reports received this morning by (he .Secretaries of ar/ul.d state, and the Attorney-General conclirsrvefy demonstrate that the Fenian raid is a complete failure. c/1?16 J>rcfi(1(lllt complimented United r?!fx" ^rsha! Fostcr for the prompt arrest ofO-Neil,and '$ wiI11)C transmitted officially to Marshal Foster from the Attorney-Gene-ral's office. The South Carolina Ion tested flection Case. A triek was played upon the House to-day by Mr. Cessna, troni the Committee of Elections, who had charge of the case of Wallace vs. Simpson, contested election for representative from the fourth district of South Carolina. The indications when this case was called up before were that that the opposition from member* of both parties to the admission of either candidate would be strong. Simpson was ineligible under the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution, but he received the highest number of votes, and the committee reported that Wallace (Republican) Mving received the next highest vote is entitled to the seat. Mr. Dawes, Mr. Paine, and others, of the Republican side, and the Democrats generally, argued that the JJouse had repeatedly decided that the disqualification of a candidate receiving a majority of the votes did not entitle the one receiving the next highest vote to a seat. Notwithstanding this general opposition ro giving the scat to Wallace, Mr. Cessnit, ju*t after the House convened, and while members were in some confusion and not paying attention, passed up and had read at the speaker's desk a resolution declaring Wallace entitled to the seat. The vote was put, and a few voices answered in the affirmative?none in the n^<*;itiw?and Mr. Cessna obtained leave to make a statement setting forth the farts of the rase astound in the report. This arrested the attention of the members of the j House, and quite a hub-bub was created on I account o1 the sort of snap-judgment that, hud been taken while the members weic j unaware of what was going on, but it was too late, and Mr. Wallace was sworn in. The National Banks. Treasurer Spinner has written a letter to Gaines Wells, Esq., of Patterson, N. J., in reference to the national banks, in which he says the prospect now is that the national banks will succeed in preventing the passage of any bill that will in any way interfere with their present privileges and profits, and there certainly can be no chance to compel the banks to take new stocks drawing but one to three sixty-live-hun-dredths per cent, in lieu of the five and six percent, stocks that they now hold, and have deposited in this office. Their blind and selfish course will no doubt force from the country the question whether banks shall be permitted to issue any paper to be used as money, or whether all money shall not he issued by the Government itself, and thereby save the people in interest from twenty to thirty millions in gold annually. With the rejection by the House of Re. presentatives of the Senate bill compromises between Congress and the banks will probably end, and the whole question of banks and the finances of the country may then be fought out at the polls.

The Appropriation Bill. The capital-movers got a sort of quietus in the Senate this afternoon, in the discussion upon an amendment to the appropriation bill providing a half a million dollars for extending and improving the Capitol grounds. The vote on the appropriation was forty-two to ten against it. About half of the latter voted against the appropriation upon a question of economy, and without reference to the capital-moving agitation. Nearly all of those who voted for the appropriation expressed themselves in favor of forever continuing the capital at "Washington, and in this the sentiment was enthasiastie and decided. Military Claim. Colonel James F. Jaques, who was colonel of an Illinois regiment at the beginning of the rebellion, appeared before the Senate Military Committee to-day to urge his claim for select service during the war for which he was employed by the late President Lincoln, and to whom he made all his reports, and was engaged in this service when Mr. Lincoln was assassmated. His labors were performed within the Confederate lines and on this side and in Canada. The history of his operations is interesting and important, and it is the intention of the committee to give his testimony to the public. Stamped Paper. Commissioner Delano has approved a design for a stamp to be imprinted on blank paper with the words, 44 Good only for a bank check " printed across it. This new form of stamped paper will be supplied under certain restrictions, so that parties may have their bank checks printed where and by whom they choose. The Income Tax in Virginia.
