tlfnorous apprehensions, know not how they

YeS all those dreaded evils may c0nes and
they may not come. In the lifetime of-this
government, now more than seventy years old
they have not yet come. No net effecting
slavery, that was ever complained Of as wrong
has ever yet been done, except by the consent
of the South. The Legislation of 1907 and
1919, against the slave trade, the Missouri
Compromise, the Oregon restriction, the Com
promise acts of 1850, were all favored and
supported by Southern statesmen. What
may come hereafter we canont tell. Our
present safety is not less assured; because re-
mote evils are possible. Perhaps posterity
may be relied ON to guard it's own welware

THE JOHN BROWN CONSPIRACY.
CHAPTER 1v.-scENrs IN THE JAIL

/ CHAPTER IE.-SCENES IN THE JAIL.
Still counselling our readers to bear patient
| Iy with our endeaYors to enlighten them con-
| 'eerning the Unrevealed Facts of this Conspi-
racy, we ask them, now-after reading this
chapter-to rc-rcad the entire series thus far.
Then, if they have sufficient patience to await
our movements, We should be glad to restne
| the series as soon as possible after the Presi-
dental eIection-or, at the farthest, immedi-
diately after the dissolution of the existing
Congress, fu -s4sVfo6 next. Discdssions-of
more rapid character-may tax our energies
the next two months-or the next half year.
As an earnest, however, Of the future har-
vest, let few plain facts, hitherto hid, be
now revealcd--in order to show, by examples,
the correctness of our theory, as developed in
the previous chapters: that the Spirit, which
engendcred the commotion of October 1917,
1859, did itself come forth from the palace of
Pandemoniunl-cv even from " the Father of
Lies"
A gentleman of this State-who visited
John Brown frequently while he was in our
iail-has furnished us the following state
ment:
a RECITAL
BY A VISITOR TO JOHN BROWN IN HIS CELL.
On or about the 28th of November, 1859,
being favorably impressed with some of the
qualities of Ossawattomie Brown, owing to the
high encomiums passed upon him by the Gov
ernor of the State, I entered his cell with a
hearty determination to treat him with all the
delicacy which Virginia Chiyalry demanded,
to say nothing of that charity which our COM
mon Christianity inculcatcs.

Though politically differing from him, toto
coe1o, in lis eccentric orbit, for the last twen-
ty years-yet, as brother man, and fellow
citizen, believe him incapable of uttering
any sentiment, of the truth of which he had
not strong conviction. John Brown might
well feel selfcomplacent in holding levees at
the Hotel d. Aois, when his character had
so eminent a voucher. Accordingly, I pre-
pared myself to appear before Brown with
that respect both for myself and for my Gov
ernor, which became resident of Virginia.

Still bearing in mind, the character Of

md not beingable to jump suddenly to the con-
trary conclusion which has been reluctantly
drawn, since his execution, and sinoe now
light has been thrown upon the conspiracg-
I endeayored to account for his gross incon-
sisteney upon the Theory that he Was mon
opaaniaa. AS hesprnfis,ssscd 50 proiound re-
gard for The authority Of the BibleAas he
was, by abundant testimony, beyond his own,
a member, in good standing, CnneSpelled Of
the Congregational Church, in Summit coun-
ty, ohio-I appealed to him, calmly, in view
of his professed faith in the Scriptures, to
answer me as to certain things At the same
time, [ turned to the other prisoner, (ste-
vens,) and reminded him, that could not
thus appeal to him, inasmuch as he (S.)
had no faith whatever in the Bible
What I am now relating took place at sub
sequent interviews; repeatedly visited all
the seven conspirators, during their incarce-
ration.
On one occasion, as soon as Ientered, Brown
cordially greeted me-jumped from his couch,
fastened to shelf, and brought tract which
1 had given him-stating that he had made
some marks on it, for my eye. Accordingly,
1 glanced at the blank on the first page and
saw quantity of writing, beginning thus
F" To the staveholding x y x
*-mam, ,ooman and baby afsf!"
Viewing this as departure from that po-
litencss which had hitherto characterized his
course toward me, addressed him after this
manner: Capt. Brown, you profess to be
guided by the same Spirit that inspired tho
Apostles. One of those Apostles wrote, for
you and for me, these words BE CouRTE-
ous.' Now, sir, appealing to the same spi-
rit, ask you, is this courteous ?''
He instantly and frankly acknowledged his
fault-stating that he had forgotten that those
words were IN the Testament, and that his
was not courteous language.
On another occasion, yentursd, with all
the delicacy could command. to express to
him my thought that he.was not in his right
mitId For, on no other hBpotKesis could I
account for his change of name. on the sup
position of his sincerity in protesting to be
Christian man of faith, such as Moses was
being born, as Noses was, and as he faucied
himself to be, to lead his "a Israel out of our
Egypt. How could you, asked, " change
the name of John Brown, as given you in
baptism, and call yourself John Smith, thus
decei4ing multitudes for many months under
q false name ?"
To this he replied, with seeming meekucss,
that he found great difficulty in changing his
name-that he hesitated about it for two
weeks; and added, totperhaps that s0ds the
cause of his schemes fcsizing.

New ORLEANS, JACKSON AND
GREAT NORTHERN RAILRoAD.--We
have seen letter addressed TO one Of
the directors, from the President of
the Company, containing the crafty
ing news Of the purchase Of 1000
tons of iron rail, 5000 of which is to
be used in the construction of the
road between this and the city of Alb
erdeen. This will be most gratifying
intelligence to our friends in Attala,
Leake and Choctaw, as they have
waitedi,ong and anxiously to hear the
neigh of the iron horse in their midst.
II proves that the present board Of
directors intend to push the work for
ward with all the dispatch its impor-
lance demands.
Az the time Of the election of the
present board of directors, the impress
sion was industriously circulated that
they were not favorable to the extern
sion of the road, and did not intend
TO extend il ); but the recent purchase
of the iron not only shows how I'M
just the accusation was, but proves
their wish and ability TO prosecute
the work to an early completion.
The road north of Canton will be
pushed forward as rapidly as possible,
and at the same time all necessary
repairs and improvements to road
beds and way stations south of Can.
ton will be made, to secure the CON-
fort of passengers and fast transporta.

community, as well as the stockhold-
ers, may congratulate themselves up.
