A NoRTHERNER's VISIT TO OLD BROWN IN PRISON
Tile Truth as to HIS Ireatment-The northern re-
publican press has been very busy IN propagatng the
idea of bad and inhuman treatment of John Brown by
the Virgnans, as their prsoner-thelr indsposon to
give him fair trial. &C.; but those of the north even,
who have visited Brown in prison, arc impeed to give
contradiction to this stuff. A correspondent of the
Boston Traveller, who made flying visit to Charles
town last week. and present when the sentence upon
Brown was pronounced, writes
During my interviews with Brown at the JAIL he re-
peated what he said in court that he perfectly salts
fed with the fairness of his trial and the kindness OF his
treatment He said that Capt Avis bis ailer, showed
much kindness in treating him. as be had shown cour
age in attacking him is what should expect from
a brave man." Seeing that one of the deputy jaers
prt SENT he added 81 don't say this to tiatterlt
isn't my way I say it because it is true" For the
same | here repeat it, Judge Parker appears
to have conducted the trial with remarkable candor
dignity and mpartiality and when consider what
serve insurrecton u.s. the selfconro of the people is
wonderful.
Brown has not been in irons since the first night and
every possible indulgence shown him. except the indu
gence of delay Even the speed of the trial 49, in part
accounted by the accident that the term OF the court
happened to be held just at the time
He speaks highly of his medical attendants bat re-
ecs the offered counsel of all ministers who believe that
Slavery is right He will die fearlessy as he has
lived.
Stevens lies on bed in the same large room, danger
ously wounded. He probably will not be tried at this
term And it is the wish of many Virginans that he
should die of his wounds rather than to be exc
cuted.
The Boston Atlas and Bee publishes letter written
by Brown to Quakeress in Rhode Island, from whom
he had received sympathizing letter. Brown attrl-
bues his defeat to want of military skill and foresight
but insists that he took up in righteous cause
and expresses his firm conviction that his motives were
just.
