The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1859-11-30


A Telegram, dated on the 21st at Charles
town. Virginia, and published in the evening
papers OF this city, says:
ut is rumored that Gov. Wise has received
a dispatch from Gov. Chase, of Ohio, informing
him that a large body of men, numbering from
600 to 900 are arming for rescue under John
Brown, Jr., and will undoubtedly start for
Charlestown.
"Gov. Wise is said to have replied that If he
(Chase) allowed them to cross the line, The wo'd
enter proceedings against him on the charge OF
Treason.
"a dispatch was also received on Saturday
from United States Marshal johnson, of Ohio,
stating that from 600 to 1000 men were fit
ting for rescue in that State under John Brown
Jr, commander
The rumor that Governor Wise received any
such Telegram from Gov. Chase, We doubt not
is false. Governor Chase would send no such
dispatch, nor would Governor Wise send any
snch reply, even if the Telegram had been
sent as stated.
United States Marshal johnson sent no such
Telegram to Governor Wise, nor to any one
else. This announcement we are authorized by
that gentleman to make. John Brown, Jr., j
he revlly is arming men to aid in the release o.
his father, and we have reason to believe he is
is doing it secretly The men will not 60 in
company, but one by one, they will make theii
way to the mountains, and in the recesses o
the Blue Ridge will join their comrades. o
this we have evidence. ..
Upon the person of Kagi, after he was shot
was found q paper, with certain hieroglyphics
thereon. with words explaining their meaning
During the early part of the present month
letter in cipher, directed to John Brown, post
marked at Cincinnati, was received at Charles
town. The cipher was found on Kagi, and BY
the aid Of the key thus furnished, it was reat
as follows:
OBERLrN (no date.)
'DEAR B: We are all right. You mai
look for us, one by one, commencing to-day.
''Feign fanaticism as much as possible. KeeI
in good spirits till we come. Don't be alarm
ed. Como"
Since that letter was written, men have lef
Oberlin, on almost every train. without appar
ent business, and have not returned. They al
left in the trains for the east, and are generally
OF that class of ultra Abolitionists without fam
lilies, who would be presumed to join in sucl
an expedition.
The Telegraph Of Saturday night announced
that somewhat similar letter had been rccei
we'd at Charlestown from Urbana, Ohio, writer
in the same cipher used by the insurgents a
Harper's Ferry in the different epistles founC
among the letters of Kagi and Brown.
John Brown, Jr son of the convict Brown
has been in Canada since his fathers arrest, ant
has reported the fact that assistance is expected
from that Province. AT the last accounts, b,
was in Ashtabula county, armed to the teeth Il
prevent an arrest. He has exhibited his arm
to different persons and among others, we un
derstand, to Judge Giddings, son Of j. r. Gid
dings, who says that Brown carries arms sufi-
cient to fire thirty two shots without once hav
ing to re-load pistol. go
These facts, connected with the burning o
the property Of the Jurors before whom Brown
was convicted, convince US that there is set
tied plan to rescue Brown, and although th,
Telegraph 10 in error In regard to the dispatch
es sent to Gov Wise, that nothing will prsven
further bloodshed at or near the scene of th,
late outbreak but the precaution Of moving
troops to Charlestown to prevent the rescue o
Brown and the other convicted criminals WHIT
