leaned back in his bed, looking calmly around
Gov. Wise told him he had better be preparing
for death, to which Brown responded that he (the
Governor,) though he might live fifteen years,
would have good deal to answer for at last, and
had better be preparing now, too.
The Constitution of the Provisional Government.
The constitution of the Provisional Government
contains forty yeight articles, and would be laugh
able If it were not so dull It of course abolishes
slavery, and says that everybody of mature age
shall vote for President and Vice President
The Congress was not to contain more than ten
members, and their term of Office was to be three
years. All persons who voluntarily delivered up
their slaves were to be registered in book, and
have protection. All persons are allowed the
privilege of carrying arms openly. The offering
of violence to females taken prisoners, was to be
punished by death. This singular constitution
closes as follows:
The foregoing articles shall not be construed SO
as in any way to encourage the overthrow Of any
State Government, or Of the General Government
Of the United States and look to no dissolution
Of the Union, but simply to amendment and repeal.
And our flag shall be the same that our fathers
fought under in the Revolution. - ( =
Startling Reuelation-The Points Of Attack.-In
trunk, supposed to have belonged to Captain
Brown, was found seven small though elaborate
maps Of as many different States bearing peculiar
marks, which would seem to indicate that the
points of attack, and the course Of the insurrec-
tionary movement through the South, had already
been fully determined upon by this well-organiz-
ed and confident league Of traitors. Certain coun-
ties in the seven States, of which only these maps
were obtained, bear cross marks formed by pen,
and in several instances as if to command greater
particularly of attention, or to suggest perhaps
more available points Of attack, circular lines are
drawn around the crosses. t.f: LIZ. 3
The designated counties in the States Of South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, form
q continuous chain of districts, or route Of travel
from Georgetown, and from Beaufort, South Caro-
lima, along the Savannah River, to the Chstta-
hoochie River, on the Western border Of Georgia;
from thence passing through convenient points Of
the Alabama and Tombigbee Rivers, to the bor-
ders of Mississippi from whence it continues with
little interruption to the Red River. The maps,
which are about 18 by 12 inches, are carefully
and neatly pasted on stout cambria cloth. Upon
the margin of each map is pasted the census re-
turns of 1885, of its State giving in detail the re-
lative strength of the white and slave population
of each county, and the proportion of females to
the whole number ofinhabitants. BY referring to
the counties marked, it will be perceived that in
them the slave population vastly preponderates,
and might therefore, have been deemed q safer
field of operation for the Abolition invaders.

merous sympathizers in the free States.
