CAPT. COOK ARRESTED.
His Commission in the Insurrection Band found on his Person– Three others of the Band among the Mountains– Parties in Search of them.
Chambersburg, Pa, Oct. 26.– The notorious Capt. Cook, of the Insurrectionary Band of outlaws, under Osawatamie Brown, has at last been captured, beyond a doubt, and has been fully committed to jail to await the requisition of the Governor of Virginia.
He was brought to this town last evening. There is not a doubt of his identity, as a captain’s commission, with prisoner’s signature and Clerk’s name was found on his person. He came down from the mountains to get provisions, having, from his haggard appearance, suffered greatly from want and exposure.
He admitted that three others of Brown’s party are in the mountains, on the strength of which information parties are now out in pursuit of the fugitives.
Cook had on his person a parchment memorandum, formerly attached to Mr. Washington’s person, and says the pistol is in his valise, which he left in the mountains. He was fully armed when arrested, and attempted to make resistance, but being exhausted, was soon captured, at a point eight miles from this place.
