Mountain Scenery in Peru.

As a general rule. the mountain scenery

lovely spots that nestle in the rocesses OF
tho great Sierra. Putting aside such limi.
tel scenes as those in the valley OF Vl-
camayu. or the campina of Arcquipa, tho
most striking general view Of the mountains
that can recoliect, is from the middle of
tho desert of Islsy. But lot no one expect
in tropical climate tho moro varied effects
Of European mountain scenery Out Of tho
temperate zones Is found no Monte Rosa

And snowy dolls in golden air.

that. without being aware of is, be has al

beautiful vegetation, and tho scene has

their oatbs, to refer to the narrative of the
soldier, Peter Hart, who was in Fort Sumte
during the siege. The story carries iis own
moral, and nees no word of comment.
Hart was an old soldier under Anderson
at Moxioo. When Mrs. Anderson visited
Fort Sumter, Hart accompanied her, by per-
mission OF the Confederate authorities, on
giving parole not to fight should be conclude
to remain in the garrison. When the bonn
bardment commenced, the soldier mounted
the parapet wall and shouted to the men:
Now, fire away, boys, l can't fight with
out breaking soldiers word, but I'll tell
you where your shot strike, and where TO
look for danger
Thus conspicuously a mark during the
whole two days bombardment, Hart left tho
parapet only once, and that was to climb
the flagstaff to nail the colors to the peak,
after the halyards had been shot away.

Parson Brownlow's Daughter.

A gentleman just arrived in this city,
from Knoxville, Tenn, brings inteiligencs
of affairs in tho city. He informs us
that $500 Secession troops are stationed
there. for tho express purpose of overawing
the Union men. IL is part of their bus
iness to engage in quarrels in saloons, and
10 street fights. with all who are not friendly
to Secession. Two men were shot last week
for no other offence than speaking words of
loyalty to the Federal Government.
The house of the celebrated, bold-heart
ed, and out spoken Parson Brownlow, is tho
only one in Knoxville over which the stars
and stripes are floating. A few days ago
two armed Secessionists went, at o'clock
in the morning. to haul down the stars and
stripes. Miss Brownlow, brilliant young
lady of twenty three, saw them on the piazza,
and stepped out and demanded their bus
mess. They replied they had come TO
| take down them d-n stars and stripes.

lady, "get more mon, and come and take it

They returned with company of ninety
armed men, and demanded that the flag
should be hauled down. But on discover
ing that the house was filled with gallant
men, armed to the teeth, who would rather
die as dearly as possible than see their
eountry's flag dishonored, tho secessionists
retired.
When our informant left Knoxville, the
Stars and Stripes still foated to tho breeze

WHO rs REsPONsIBLEa
The grea. blupder of Sunday lay

The great blunder of Sunday lay in
lighting the battle which ended SO disas-
|trously.E Under.. no circumstances is it
lever justifable, in o, military sense, for an
inferior force to, attack "a superior when
the. latter has his own choice of position.
and is, strongly intrenched. The chances
are fifty to one against success. In this
instance Gen.. Mcdowell was, perfectly
aware that the rebel forces either, outnum-
bered bis own, or could, easily be made to
do SO. by reinforcements which. they had
every facility for bringing forward. To
use his own expression, the night before
the battle, it was with them simply ques-
tion of rolling stock and provisions. He
knew, too, that they had labored zealously
for; three months. under skillful engineers,
in q country admirably adopted to defence.
fto fortify their position. ,i,,.s h-ss..tt
7 Gen. Mcdowell is not at all likely to
have fought this battle on his own respon-
sibility. Gen., Scott is known to have
been opposed to the whole scheme from
the beginning, and his own declaration,
repeated by Mr.. Richardson in Congress
yesterday, proves that be was utterly. hos
tile to attacking the rebels at thai, time,
| and that he was oyerruled in this matter

But there is not the, slightest doubt
that he yielded to the urgent and almost
imperative representations of that portion
of his Cabinet whose, views, have been re.
Elected by the Tribune, and who have as
serted from the. beginning, that IL, 600
men could march. from Washington to
Richmond with the greatest ease. It is
/ these men who have constrained the Pres

opirion and the wish of Gen. Scott. and

It's known, and need not be longer
tEconeealed. that there is in the Cabinet ar

Perhaps Mr.. Blair. embodies and repre-
sents it more thoroughly than any othel
member. He has made. no secret of it
but has often. in spite Of the. gross breacl
of Official propriety which such an act in
volved, denounced the General in publi
places as utterly unit for his high posi-
tion. It seems to us quite time that th

!, Gen.. Scott and those members of hi
