Other articles on the invasion as well including: "The Harper's Ferry Invasion" "Our Richmond Correspondence" with more reporting. Also: "Gerrit Smith & His Slave Property" & "Runaway Slaves In Canada", the latter beginning: "The operations of the Underground Railroad Company have been so prominently and conspicuously brought up before the attention of the country by the fiasco of John Brown & his companions at Harper's Ferry...".
