An Old Relic. Some years ago, J 0 Ellington, Esq who is now General Agent of the Na tional Alliance Insurance Company for North Carolina, office in the Pace Building, West Mart'.n street, visited Topeka, Kansas, aud while he, iu company with other gentlemen from the Southland, visited the different State departmeuts and saw many things that would be of interest to our people. In the capitol buildiug, on the first floor, is a large h ill, set apart for the exclusive purpve of perpetuating the memory of John Brown, who was from that city, the martyr as they style him there. Tha room is filled with portraits of John Brown, war relics, etc, etc. Among the many things exhibited, is an autograph letter, written by John Brown, framed and hangmg up on the wall, being the last instrument ever penned by him. It was written in the jail at Charlestown, Vi, im mediately preceding his execution and given to his son, and by him turned over to the State department of Ksnsas. Through the kinilnefs of Mr El lington we give below an exact CDpy of the letter, punctuation aud all: John Browns letter Charlestown Va 2d Dec 1839 I John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had as I now think vainly flat tered myself that without very much blood she '; it might be done. The letter is without signature only at the top-John Brown's letter and is in his own handwriting. There are not less than four employ ees in this room at the capitol build ing whose duty it is to show visitors around, an wer questions. &c. An amusing incident occurred. While . Mr Ellington an'd"hlB' friends were sightseeing, Mr Eugene Baker, who at that time was sheriff of the county of which Charl stown is the county seat and a friend of Mr Ellington's, proposed to the party to leave the room, which was devoted to perpetu ate the memory of John Brown, as he had seen something that was far more interesting to him than anything he had eer seen there. One of the clerks overhear 1 the remark and asked Mr Baker what he meant by it. He said that he saw John Brown pull the hemp. Quite a flutter of excitement ran through the room 'i hat afternoon Mr Baker receiyed a note from Gov ernor St John and the other State officers asking for an interview with him. He (Mr B) met them and said he was not the sheriff who hung John Brown, but was a boy and saw it done. Those State officers told Mr Baker they believed John Brown was hung without jury trial or counsel. A laige amount of money has been spent and 'is still being spent every year to perpetuate the memory of John Brown. At the time of the vis it of these gentlemen to Topeka, the widow of John Brown was living in Nebraska in very destitute circum stances, as a Nebraska man of the highest character informed Mr Ell ington, who knew Mrs Brown and knew the statement to be true. Would it not be well to spend some of their money to care for the desti tute widow. McKee Encampment, No 15, I. O. O. F. Will hold a regular session this evening.
