Letter From John Brown.

i From The Wooster (Cdio) Republican
/ BY permission Of the Rev. J. "
/ Mcfarland, of Wooster, to whom it wa!
addressed, we copy, from the original, th'
Following letter written by John Brown
in answer to cne received by him flon
MIR. Mcfarland. The letter like all other!
written by Brown since his imprisonment
speaks the true spirit ola hero and martyr
-. JAZZ. CHARLESTON, Nov. %, 1859.
I Rev. McFARLAnD-Dear Friend
Although you write to NE as stranger,
the spirit YOU: show toward me and tho
hcause for which am in bonds, makes Inc
tfeel toward you as very dear friend. I
wou,i be glad to have you or any of my
Iliberty.lovi;SS ministerial friends here, to
iftalk and pray with md. am not a: ?tran:
ger to the way of salvation 10y .n.ls'- s -
From my youth, have stuai>o '1u'a ~ %, -
this subject, and at one time hoped IT, W.
Eminister myself, but God had another
work for me to do. 70 me it is given in
behalf Of Christ, not only to believe on
him, but also to su6cr for his sake. But
while Itrust that I have some exper-
mental and saving knowledge OF, religion,
it would be great pleasure for me to have
some one better qualified than myself, to
lead my mind in prayer and meditation,
now that my time is so near close. You
may wonder, are there no ministers Of the
gospel here I answer no. There are no
ministers Of Christ here. These ministers
who profess to be Christian, and hold
slaves, or advocate Slavery-~I cannot abide
them. My knees will not bend iu prayer
with them while their hands are stained
with the blood ofsouls. The subject you
as having been preaching on, the
day before you wrote to me, is one which
I have often thought Of since my impris-
onment. ( think I feel as happy as Paul
did when he lay in prison tie knew if
they killed him it would greatly advance
the cause Of Christ that was the reason
he rejoicea 50. On that same ground, w
do rejoice, yea, and will rejoicc.". Let
them hang the, I forgive them, and may
God forgive them f'r they know not what
they do. baye no regret for the trans.
action for which l am condemned. I
went against the laws of men, it is true,
but, whether it be right to obey God, or
mfn judge ye." Christ told me to re-
member them that are in bonds, as bound
uiM them, to do toward them as I would
wish them to do toward me in similar cir
cumstances. Ny conscience bid me do
that. I tried it, but tai!ed. Therefore ]
nave no regret on that score. have no
sorrow, either,.as to the result, only for
my poor wife and children. They have
suffered much and it is hard to leave
them uncared for. But God will be q
husband to the widow and Father to the
fatherlcss.
! have frequently been in Wooster, and
if any of my old friends from about Akron
are there, you can show them this letter.

anxious to be away, "where the wicked
cease troubling and the weary are at rest"
Farewell. Your friend, and the friend Of
all friends Of Liberty, JouN BROWN.

region where it occurred. The origin was polit-
cal difficulty, Gholson being an ardent Democrat,
and Prentiss stout Whig. Gholson was noted
duellist, had killed his man more than once, and
was a "dead shot," Prentiss had no laurels of
that kind, but he was known as man of nerve
and resolution. The affair, as is usual in that
region, was visited by large number of enlight-
ened and highly interested critics. aud this was
case of superior excellence and attraction. Among
the netting fraternity, Ghelson; " had the call;'
fail and this showed the sounder judgment for at
the first fire Gholson leaped three feet from the
groEnd, with ball through his heart, and Prem
tiss, wheeling round, fell also, but only from
smart flesh wound. A gentleman, who had seen
many duels and witnessed this, told me that Prem
tiss was the only man he saw go into duel
without any sign of discomposure, and with entire
camness ..- N ...-E E-.

HON. IT. j.. CLINGMAN

Made one of his powerful and telling speeches
on Wednesday of last week. We much regretted
that our time was so occupied we did not have the
privilege of hearing it.. We understand j. d.
Hyman, Esq, Squatter candidate for Elector, ap
piled to MIR Clingman for division of time. MI
c.. replied that Judge Osborne would be absent
from the Court House only one hour, and that he
Mr. CO. would barely have time to say what he
wished; but if the Judge would give way Mr. Hy-
man could talk as long as he wished Let it be
borne in mind that Mr. Hyman had spoken two
hours the day before-that the people did not de-
sire to hear him two days consecutively ly-that
they were anxious to hear MIR Clingman, and that
he had but an hour in which to address them,- =
that Judge Osborne had given up the half of Tues
day to the candidates, and that Mr. Clingman only
asked for the use of the Court House while the
Judge was at dinner. Let all these facts be borne
in mind, and the cry of agag law which has been
attempted to be raised against Judge Osborne:
will fall harmless to the ground.
Mr. Clingman proceeded with his speech, and was
frequently interrupted by Mr. Hyman, who asked
great number of very foolish questions, all Of
which, Notwithstanding their character, Mr. Cling
man promptly answered. When Mr. Hyman was
through asking questions, Mr. Clingman put few
to him, and the way he burn the little Squat
tcr's candidate for Elector, was delightful to the
crowd, but not much enjoyed by the victim.
Judging from the enthusiasm of the Democracy,
it was rich treat We assure our friends that
cold Buncombe'' is all right. We do not know,
and after diligent inquiry cannot hear, of single
Douglas Democrat in the county. If there is one
in the county we hope he will send his daguer-

FROM TEXAS.

| More Fires-The Henderson Times notes the
burning of all the corn and fodder of Mr. Ruddle,
living about five miles from that town.
LANDS RIsING.-The Crockett Argus states
that since the railroad from Liberty to Crockett
has become fixed fact, lands there have taken
| wonderful rise. That is the usual result of such
enterprises.
LARGE PRoFITs-The Gonzales Enquire says:
A gentleman who bought flock of sheep two
years ago for 5000, has since then sold $50
worth of wool from them and now his flock is worth
S3, 900, making profit of 81 900 on his invest
ment In two years.
THE WEATHER AND CRoPs-From the Fair
field Pioneer, we copy the following in regard to
the fall weather and the prospects for crop in
that neighborhood
Our fall, so far has been seasonable, and good
heavy rain falls every few days; and, during the
month of August, we had some three or four fine
rains, on the Sth, 9th and 10th of that month; on
the 20th 2lst and 22nd, and again on the 25th,
9th 28th and Doth, we had succession of heavy
rains much heavier than usual, and during Sep
tember these rains continued So much rain has
fallen that cotton has grown to an unusual size
and grass, with every species of vegetation, is
now more vigorous than in the spring. The heavy
rains and worms have injured our cotton seriously,
not only to its staple but to its quality also
Notwithstanding the drouth, many planters would
have made half crops, some more; now most will
not make more than one-third, and many not more
than one fourth, and some even less, indeed, we
hear of crops that will take ten to the bale
THE RIO GRANDE.-The Galveston News says
that the Rio Grande is higher than it has been
for years.
New ENGLAND AID SOCIETY-The Austin
State Gazette states that no doubt that the New
England Emigration Aid Society are pushing their
''Kansas work" into Northern Texas. That ennis
saries of this society have been detected and hang
ed, and their punishment avenged by the burning
of cur towns, admits of no doubt, but that these
pernicious agitators contemplate general iusur-
rection of the slaves in this country are unwill
ing to believe. Their object is one far more tea-
sible and infinitely more dangerous. BY excit-
ing continual apprehensions as to the safety Of
person and property in this region, they hope to
keep back the usual slaveholding emigration while
they pour in from the North very different vot-
ing population.
