MRS Browns rrrRY INTO cHArLysTowN.
! assure you that her entry into The town Of
Chdrlcstown beggars ali description. Before
! the arrival Of Mrs Brown. but two brass cannon
were planted IN front of the prison. As soon ms
| her upprOaCh was announced, huwevcr t1rsr
other pieces, making fee in all wctr planted in
! tie street in front ot the jall, and from eight
| hundred to thousand meu, with glil,er,ng bay.
ouets, pistols snd swords STOOD on all sidrs from
tour to six men deep and formed hollow square
! through which the carriage passed with Mrs
| Brown. Through tins file cf bsyonetS the poor
woman at last entered the isil. hoping at once
! to see her husband as her stay was to be short
in compliance with orders, Here again she was
doomed to disappointment, for the distinguish
! ed Commander IN chef took it into his military
head, that Mrs Brown might possibly give her
! husband some poison, anu he and the chiys,ry
might be deprived OF the extreme pleasure OF
choking ;he old man TO death. So he had Mrs
B. stripped aud her clothes all subjected to
rigid scrutiny Nothing however, was discov-
cred on or about her person more iornidsbc or
| dangerous than ladies usually wear, aud she was
permitted, after DELAY OF nearly an hour to see
! her husband IN The purlor, in presence Of the
Comm tnderin. chiet, the jailor aud ,,erhaps 9TH

Mrs. B. They coulduo be prrmlttcda moment
alone, although the Jail was guarded BY AT least
! d thousand soldiers aud five bass cannon The
preteXt that Mrs. B. might, nolwithstanding
commit suicide, is Simply prcposlerous. John
Browns whole liz, and every act rom the ,idv OF
his arrest until thai hour, was guaranty against
his commi ting seIi.murier. Ii they had feared
that she might give him some terrible weapon,
by which he wcuid put TO fight The gallant Gen.

SYMPATHY FIR BROWN.
Ts day as the old chief was brought from, the
prison to be put into the wagon and taken to the
place of execution, slave wousn, having per-
