    The following text is presented here in complete form, as it originally appeared in print. Spelling and typographical errors have been preserved as in the original.

    THE DEVIL NOT AS BLACK AS HE IS PAINTED. – The papers yesterday brought a new sensation item about the Harper’s Ferry business. The statement was that Gov. Wise has received dispatches from Gov. Chase and the United States Marshal – Johnson – of Ohio, informing him that six hundred to one thousand men, under John Brown, Jr., were preparing to go to Charlestown to rescue his father.

    Gov. Chase is a regular abolitionist of the Seward stripe, and it is not a little surprising that he should furnish us with the first evidence for some weeks past that there is some good in the worst of people.
