To-day Brown has been len much to himself. All
applicants for permission to visit him have been re-
fused by General Tslaferro, who refers to the per.

the negroes all of whom seem grateful for their con-

But Brown, after some interviews with Dir. Waugh,
Dismissed him eoureousy, with The assurance tbat he
was sensible of the minister's kindness bat that The
wide difference of opinion between them on the subject
of Slavery would make any harmony of religious sem

PROGRESS OF 1.-THE WAR"
This evening the town is doubly guarded. Whatever
ia supposed to add to the military precautions, is DONE
The telegraph s in the hands of the authorities and
private dispatches pass. am obliged to send The
TRIBUsE's messages TO another place thence TO be
forwarded. No dispatches, except those to TIE
TRIBUNE which have appeared IN Northern papers for
the past few days, have really besn written in Charles
town. Tomorrow a new movement is 10 ~ made
All the railroad trains will be at the disposal Of Col
Davis, who is 10 see that stranger shall arrive and
pone depart. To day, every new. conner has Keen
obliged to 90 before Gen. Taliaferro, esd account for
himself An armed detachment has awaited the
entrsnee and exit Of every train. Even the resdest
citizens are not free from restraint. They are all
obliged to remain within doors after sundovn mat
ter what reason they may offer for doing otherwise.
Some Of the companies here stationed have just been
ordered 70 Martinsburg where they are to remain until
the fears Of that neighborbood are alayed.
AN ABoLTTIoNIsT ESCORTED OUT OF TOWN.
In the train yesterday from Harpers Ferry, the
Hon. Mr. Egerton, Member Of Congress from Ohio,
was passenger. He brought petition frons'John
Browns son t1at the enans of his father should be
delivered up to him. This request was refused and,
if am rightly informed, nhumanly refused mill
tary conference was held and in hours after the
tin of his arrival Mr.. Egerton left Charestown in
an open wagon escorted each side by two cavalry
soldiers attached to Ashby's troop Of Black Horse
Rangers 1t certainly would not have been safe for
the gentleman 10 remain here night. This IL one,
though not the strongest possible, example of the in
famed condition of public feeling.
STEPHENS TO BE TAKEN TO STANTON.
Arrangements are now progressing to take Stephens
to Stanton, where be will be tried before the United
States Circuit Court. strong military escort will
accompany HIM, and the soldiers are all anxious to
know who will be detailed the special guard. II is
thought that Gen. Taaferro will make the selection
tomorrow If be does it s quite likely that Stephens
will be allowed to take his final leave of Brown
during the day. Stephens evidently desires to leave
Charesown az the ncessant tunut around the prison
appears to distress him much.
wOMAS's HATE.
The Sheriff has received letter from Mrs. Doyle,
in Kansas, declaring that Captain Brown had killed
all her family with the exception of one son, some
years ago. and begging the privilege that that son
might he permitted TO TO Charlestown and act as
executioper next Friday. The little time left will of
course prevent compliance.
THE PRISONERS.
Hazlitt who is yet to be tried and whose identity
has not been positively established is very quiet He
is at least determined not TO be convicted out Of his
own mouth. He is continually smoking as are also
the negroes, Green and Copeland Cooke is writing
the greater part of the time. He shows mnch emotion
when speaking of his wife, who is now in New-Hamp-
slire but who has been requested by her mother to
return home TO Hsrpers Ferry after her husband is
dead | cannot help believing that Cooke is yet In
ueneed by hope of protection. 1t would be- per-
haus better for him if he could at resign it, Cop
pic is very calm, and occupies himself mostly with
reading.
RHyELRY.
A military band from Richmond arrived here this
afternoon. This evening they are merry seFenadlng
Gen. TaEaer1o and other persons of distinction. The
air is filed with their brilliant strains The terror oil
the popuace is forgotten The desola'e hearts OF
the condemned prisoners are forgotten too Noisy &C
CARNATIONS art everywhere heard. For a brief hour
all is Il, eful excepting within those walls, whose
shelter soon to be exchanged by their occupants TOR
tie last resting-place this earth.
WEDNESDAY, MoRSISG, Nov. 30 1859.
Copies brother disguised pedtler, has just been
arrested and brought to this town. He was at once
confronted with the prisoners, all Of whom refused 70
recognize him, except Cooke, who Immediately idenu-
fed him. This shows again that Cooke still cngs 70
hope and ready sacrifice his comrades for bis own
sake IL is possible though improbable, that he ma!
thus gain respite in order to allow him 20 appear as
8 witness against the new prisoner.
