It is thought he will be allowed to leave Fort Warren and come home. He has been confined them as a State prisoner for eighteen months. A better Union man — at the time he was arrested — than Mr. Brown does not live in Maryland. He certainly exhibited more firmness and loyalty in the trying scenes of the 19th April mob even than Gov.
