CuARLEsTowx, Va, Friday, Dec. 2, 1859.
The interview between Brown and his
wife lasted from 4 clock in the afternoon
until near s o'clock in the evening, when
Gen. Ta;iaferro informed thcm that the
period allowed had elapsed, and that she
must prepare for departure to the Ferry.
\ carriage was again brought to the door,
the military took possession of the square,
and with an escort of twenty mounted
mep, the cartege moved off, Capt, Moore
of the Montgomery Guards accompanying
her. The interview was, | learn, not a
very affecting one-rathcr of a practical
character, with regard to the future of
herself and children, and the arrangement
anu settlement of business affairs. They
seemed considerably affected when they
first met, and Mrs. Brown was, for few
moments, quite overcome; but Brown
was as firm as a rock, aud she soon recov-
cred her composure. There was an i'm
preston that the prisoner might possibly
be furnished with a weapon or with strych-
nine, by his wife, and before the interview
her person was searched by the wife of
the jaller, and strict watch kept upon
them during the time they were together.
At the time of separation they both seem
ed to be fully sclf-possessed, and the part
ing, especially on his part, exhibited a
oomposuro, either fcigned or real, that was
truly surprising. l learn from Captain
Moore that she rather repelled all at
tempts on his part to express sympathy
with her under her affections.
She resented the idea that Capt. Brown
had dcne anything to deserve death, OF to
attaint his name with dishonor, and de-
clared that the ignomiuious character of
the punishment that was about to be in
ilicted upon him was as cruel as it was
unjust. She regarded him as a martyr
in righteous cause, aud was proud to be
the wife of such man. The galloYs,
she said, had no terrQrs for her or for him
The character of the interview may be
judged to some extent from this couyer-
satiou with Capt. NJ ore, which took place
previous to it. ....-....

Pursuant to public call, those of our
citizens who sympathize with the family
and friends of John Brown, this day to

opened by fervent and solemn prayer
by the Rev. NJ. II. Rice, in which the
audience seemed fully to sympathlze.
AT the conclusion Of lhe prayer, the
Chair gave href history of the circum

of this day.
John s. Mann, ESQ, followed with a

speot to the plans, intentions and senti-
ments of Mr.. Brown, as state! in his
public letters and speeches. Mr.. Mann
concluded by calling for the reading of
the statement made by Mr. Brown before

1t was doubtless best that he should be

cause, aud he was prepared to submit to

becoming depressed at these remarks, he

that they would be reunited in Heaven.

Free Negroes in the North.

The N. Y. Herald, OF last Thurs lay, tlevotcs
column to an inquiry into the constantly
depressing condition o'thc free Le:rocs Of the
North, and AYERS that they are sinking into
helpless and hopeless paupcrism, and wind:
up with the following:
+" The logical deduction from these facts is
That the Northern States will re urn to The
enactment vi the laws establishing Negro
slavery, and sell all the free negroes into fam
lily scrvtule. Humanity will demand thE. tc
preserve thcm from being reduced to q STATE
of degradation terrible to contemplate, by the
increasing competition Of the white race
Policy will require it to save the community
from the burden of hundreds of thousands o.
able.dodied paupsrs which can make no head
way of themselves. The negro himself vii
ask it, in order that he may he restored to
that consideration in society to which he is
entitled as man. They will then be al ,rd
cd into our families again as servants
mechanics, husbandmcn. and will be relieved
from the social ban which now attends them
in consequence of their doubtful position and
increasing degradation
Startling as this prediction may appear, re,
marks the Macon Telegraph, it could finds its
practical rulhllmcnt in Northern towns without
any change in their laws or customs. As
paupers, the negroes could be and probably
arc, annually sold to whoever will accep! theil

44plitiital,
From the South Curolinian.

Mr.. ED1roR-DEAR Sir: You will oblige
me by publishing the accompanying paper,
prepared with some pains by its author Tor
the purpose of rectifying portion of Ben
toms book, where he in his narrative deals
unjustly and falsely with the history OF Ger.
tain prominent events aud men connected
with the tariff and the Texas annexation con-
troversy of 1874. This correction and reiu-
tation was intended to have been made at an
earlier day, but in part owing to Col. BentonS S
death, in the spring Of 1858, it has been ull-
til the present time delayed. The reason Mr..
Pickens assumes the task to vlndicate the
name and fame of South Carolina and MIR.
Calhoun from the aspersions of Col. Benton'S
book, he himself fully discloses in the nara
tive. Being the original and now sole de-
pository of the facts upon which Col. Benton
grounds his assertions, the duty appeared i'm
perative that he should suffer no further time
to elapse before he made public true state
ment of every thing that transpired between
Mr.. Polk and himself during the visit alluded
to in the "Thirty Years in the United States
Senate" As it may naturally assist in de-
veloping the political history of our times,
likely from the "thirty years" to be perverted
and distorted, its publication at this time may
be of some genera! Importance, and may also
be of some service to the State and to the
reputation Of Mr.. Calhoun.
Truly yours,
