The Daily Dispatch: March 28, 1865., [Electronic resource]

The Albany Evening Journal says:

‘ "The daughter of John Brown is teaching a school of little contraband in a room of Governor Wise's house, where her father's death-warrant was signed. The whirligig of time brings all things even."

’ John Brown's death-warrant was signed in Governor Wise's office in the Capitol of Virginia. Whether or not the Yankees have desecrated his private residence by converting it into a negro school, we cannot say. It is probable enough, however. It is exactly such a piece of small malice as a Yankee would be guilty of. It would be exceedingly base, and, therefore, we think it probable it has been done. It would be of a piece with all they have ever done wherever they had the opportunity.--They desecrate everything they cannot steal and carry off in their pockets. What church, what chapel, what building, devoted in any shape to the worship of-God, have they failed to treat after the same fashion?

The fruits of John Brown's exploits are to be seen all around us. It was he that first lit up the torch of this war, which is consuming the country, and has already cost the lives of half a million of men, the flower of the youth of the country. Nobody but a Yankee would think him worthy of canonization on this score, at least. Saints, we should suppose, were hardly made of such materials, and have not been since the days of Cromwell and the Commonwealth in England.
