What was imagiced then, has become a part of the history of onr country now. Slavery is an insatiate ' mocster, a vampyre upon the prosperity of our country and the harmony and happiness of oar people. It has a own discord and dissension between the citizens of the slave and free Statc3 and in a conflict for sn remacy it drenched the prairies of Kansas iu blood. It now insults with imputity the citizens of the free statea whenever! jur.d with a slave State. The fearfal tragedy enacted j at Charlestowa on Fr:Uy last, is o be repeuted . ou the ICth iost., wiiu iocreased horrors. The end is cot yet, and every friend to freedom every j friend of the Uniou and the harmoiy anil fraternal good feeling of all our people, may well trcm ble as they contemplate the future.

The latter supplied themselves with the best festimonia's as to respectability and character, and al 8J ' urs oi introduction io uoi.

Ou the next morning, they communicated with the officer in command of the Virginia military here, that Mrs. Brown had arrived, and that they wished to accompany her to Charlestown. The officer courteously responded, that he presumed there would be no difficulty in granting their request, aud immediately telegraphed to Gen- Taliaferro, at Charlestown. who, in turn, telegraphed to Gov. Wise for instructions. A reat number of messages were thtn exchanged, and finally it was ordered that Mrs. Brown should be sent alone to pee her husband, under an es cortof military, and tlie others of tlie partv should be detained and watched. Mrs. Brown was greatly distressed at being compelled to go without her friends, hnt finally consented, and was taken to Charlestown and allowed an interview of two hours with her husband, but was not permitted to remain during the n ght. Au anecdote is related of Brown in this connection, which is eminently characteristic: When Gen. Taliaferro had arranged for the visit of Mrs. Brown, he called on the prisoner and informed him that his wife would come to see him, and he wished to know how long an interview he desired. Brown said "Three or fnur hours." ti which the General responded that that was) too long; an hour he thought was enough. J Brown replied: "Very well, sir, obeyyour; omers, anu do your duty, i have no favors to ask of the State of Virginia." This indomitable spirit was manifested to the very last.

Mrs. Brow n entered fully into the feelings of her husband, and both were resigned to the fite : which a (raited him. Cap. Brown referred to the disposition of his property and the welfare of his childre.u, ' and after -pending nn honr in i. t'tiversation, ' spirits rose and he' exhibited li.tht neartedi . i -i . ot-Hs, which surprised, those who were around him. Mrs. Brovia remained with her bus bind until half past six o'clock, when she was informed that the interview must end. The Captain desired that his wife mi 'lit re main with him during the night, but The orders from headquarters were to the contrary and accordingly they separated. While the parting scene was one which showed much intensity of feeling, thero was no exhibition ol passion, aud after an embrace, aud ki.-s. and kind admonition from Brown, they part ed forever. Mrs. Brown was conducted to her carriag. and under a similar es. ort with Capt, Moore who was kind ar.d gentlemanly in his deport ment, the carriage started for the Ferry. The substance of Brown's in'erview v ith his wife was relative to a settlement of his monetary affairs and the disposition of his body. Previous to her arrival he had desired that I is body should l3 burned, and the r.shcs thereof urned, and in that condition removed. He also expressed a desire that the bodies of his two sons who were; killed at Harper's Feny should bo disinter-' red, and after undergoing a similar process, : be placed in the same urn with his own, and i taken North. ; This would have bet n impossible, as the; nhvsicians of Winchester l.aVl nn,.i bodies and dissected them. ' Gov. Wise had given an order to the ef-! feet that if any person calied for the body cf' Brown, who was entitled to it. that theSher-1 iff should hand the same over, and Mrs.! !

V. Since the good of mankind demands cheaper cotton, and the abolition of Slavery is a consummation devoutly to be wished, it is the duty of all men every where to adopt well devised and judicious measures to bring jdown the price ot cotton, like other agricul pr0(Jl;ots nearcr to tl)eCo.tof prodticlio., which obiert ia to secomidished bv the to1 lowing means: - j , - 1. By encoura Tin the erowth of cotton by free labor iu Africa, India and Mexico. 2. By encouraging the growth of flax and manufacturers of flax in the free States. 3. By encouraging the use of free labor in the growth of cotton in the Slave States and stimulating the emigration of Europeans to those States for this purpose. VI. That the cultivation of other articles now mainly produced by Slave labor should be encouraged in the Free States, such as hemp, nugar an t tobicco. r - It can be easily proved: 1. That such a course would work no in jury to the general good of tho Slave Statea, but the contrary. 2. That if one twenty-fifth of the culti vated laud of the Northern S'atea weie to be put in tlax, it would produce an amoun of linen goods equal in weight to tbe whole cotton crop of the United States, and that linens may b produced by recent American in ventionaand improvements, weight for weight for about the price of cotton goods at the average of cotton heretofore. 3. That much larger profits may be reasonably expected frrm the maVifacture of linens, bagging ami bale rope from flax, and hemp rope from Northern grown un rotted hemp than from any other fibrous manufactures for many years to come. 4. That by working hemp in the unrottel condition it may and should be grown in the free States and beeomea very profitable crop. 5.
