novementf No. Did you expect aid
rom the north2 No; there was no one
onnected with the movement but those
gho came with me. Did you expect to
ill people in order to carry your pointI
lid not wish to do SO, but you force us to
I Various questions of this kind were
5ut to Capt Brown, which he answered
dearly and freely, with seeming anxiety to
vindicate himself
He urged that he had the town at his
mercy; that he could have burnt it and
murdered the inhabitants, but did not; he
had treated the prisoners with courtesy,
and complained that he was hunted down
like beast. He spoke of the killing OF
his son, which he alleged was done while
bearing flag of truce, and seemed very
anxious for the safety of his wounded son.
His conversation bore the impression of
the conviction that whatever he had done
to free slaves was right, and that in the
warfare in which he was engaged he was
entitled to be treated with all the respect
of prisoner Of war.
He seemed fully convinced that he was
badly treated and had right to complain.
Although at first considered dying, an ex-
animation of his wounds proved that they
were not necessarily fatal. He expressed
a desire to live and to be tried by his coun-
try. In his pockets nearly three hundred
dollars were found in gold. Several i'm
portant papers found in his possession, were
taken charge of by Col. Lee, on behalf of
the Government.
The names of all the parties engaged on
Sunday night, except three white men
whom Brown says he sent away on an err
rand, are as follows, with their proper titles

his residence at Winchester, thirty miles

Vallandigham, member of Congress from
