IN THE JAIL.
An order has come from Gov. Wiso prohibiting the
admission OF all persons within the jail until after the
execution Of Brown. | was this morning able how
ever, to zee the prisoners once more There Il little TO
record Of the interview. Excepting 20 give simple
salutation, few Of them spoke. Brown was reading
a religious work Cook was busy writing, and Coppic
was bending over his Bible The negroes were mac
tive and careless TO the approach Of visitors The
prisoners all appeared much fagued in consequence of
the ncesant pouring in Of strangers upon them. They
were not dspleased TO learn Of the Prohbitory order
issued by tbeGovernor. Bat they were nevertheless
with the exception Of Brown subjected TO fresh incur
siops OF all the troops that arrived to-day.

and completing the statement which he desires to have
published after bis death.
