A Fighting ParsOn:.

Parson Brownlow has turned up in
East Tennessee engaged in operations
that prove him to be a veritable Flight
ing Parson." According to accounts
coming through rebel source, Brownlow.
with three thousand Unionists under his
command, engaged Confederate force
at Morristown, East Tennessee, on the
LIST inst. The Unionists were completely
victorious. the Confederatcs admitting
that their defeat and rout was total
Morristown is on the line of the East
Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, about
twenty miles east of Knoxville, and d.
rectly upon the road TO the Cumberland
Gap. Millions of hearts will be stirred
by this brave deed Of Parson Brownlow
and his brave mountainecrs. An effort
upon the party of the Federal forces to
push through to his aid seems to be
som ething more than patriotic duty
Two Tenn essee Unionists had been hung

Sketch of ParSOn BrOWnlOW.

Parson Brownlow is man Of great
nerve and determination, which quail
tiles have shown themselves forth prom
inently during the present troubles. He
is a regular ordained minister of the
Gospel, and was the editor of the Knox
vile Wing. He has resided for many
years in Tennessee, and has his wife, fam
lily, property and interests centered in
that State. The paper which he owned
was an old established journal, aud we
believe it was founded by himself at
Knoxville. The subject of this sketch
is man Of about forty-6ve or fifty years
of age, tall and spare built, but of a
perfectly fearless disposition, caring no.
thing for the threats Of any man on
earth. The people of New York will
remember the spirited defiance be hurled
at the abolitionists q few years since,
which eliminated in a public argument
between him and a man named Paine.
The discussion was carried on in Phila-
delphia about two years ago, and the ar
guments on both sides, delivered in a
series of discourscs by each party, occu-
pied weeks in their delivery. He boldly
stood up for the Union during the pc
riod previous to the secession of his
State, and when it left the Union he still
maintained his stand against tho rebels,
Offering to fight them until not drop
of blood was left in his veins. When
compelled almost by brute force to re-
strain his pen, he was determined not
to support the rebels, but remained an
apparently passive neutral. He, how
ever, had the right spirit working within
him, aud now it shows forth in sup
port of the Union under the most trying
circumstances. If Polk was allowed to
drop the Bishop for the General, surely
the title Of Parson should now be drop
ped by order of the Government, and
q more military one put in its place.

Important from the Upper POtO-
mac.

FREDERICK, Nd. Nov. Col. Leon
ard, of the 18th Massachusetts, arrived
this morning from Williamsport, with
important advices from the Upper Po-
tomac.
On Saturday afternoon a rebel force
consisting of battery of six pieces, a.
bout 400 infantry and 200 cavalry, made
their appearance at dam No. S, on the
Virginia side, and commenced throwing
shot at the dam and houses on the Ma
ryland shore. burning barn and rid
ding all the houses within range. They
continued the fire until dusk.
The only Union forces there to oppose
the rebels were company Of the Mas
sachusetts 18th Regiment, on picket
duty, and an unarmed regiment from H.
lineis. AS the Massachusetts, company
were armed with smooth bore musket
their fire was not effective at that dis
tance.
Early on Sunday morning tho rebels
resumed fire with artillery and small
arms, and emboldened by the slight re-
sistance they met with on Saturday they
came down to the very brink of the river,
and exposed themselves without fear.
During the night, Col. Leonard had dis
patched by canal boats from Williams
port another company Of his regiment,
who arrived with Enfield rifles. This
force was concealed as skirmishers along
the Maryland shore. On the renewal
of the attack on Sunday, the riflemen
opened fire from their coneealment, and
in short time the rebel artillerists were
compelled to abandon their battery, the
Infantry and Cavalry leaving the ground
about the same time. The rebel loss is
believed to have been Is or 20 killed
and many wounded.
For want of sufficient Infantry force
and battery to protect their movements,
Col Leonard was compelled to let the
rebel guns remain in possession and
after nishtfall the rebels returned and
took them off.
The rebel battery consisted of three
1O-pounders one 12-pounder, and two
smooth bore 6-pounders. Some Of th'
infantry were arueo WIN iu'P'o'eu ioht
range rifles.
This force came from the cavalry ant
infantry, by the country roads. but tn
battery was from Martinsburg. The.
were probably en- route to Wincheste
or Harper's-Ferry and stopped at tina
point to destroy the dam.
This morning the rebels were in force
and kept up a scattering fire on our men
One Federal soldier was struck twic
and severely wounded. but this was th
only casualty on our side.
At II o'clock last night portion Q
the LIST brigade here was put in rsadi
ness to start to Williamsport, but at
late hour the order was countermanded
A battery of PARROT guns was for
warded to Harper Ferry by Railroa
at noon to-day to be in readiness.

While recommending retrenchment
and the prevention of abuses, the Sec
rotary feels himself constrained to renew
the suggestion heretofore submitted by
him that the property Of rebels should
be made to pay in part, at least. the cost
of rebellion. Property Of great value
in loyal States is held by proprietors
who are actually and virtually engaged
in that guilty attempt to break up the
Union, and overturn its government.
which has brought upon our country all
the calamities we now endure. That
property is justly forfeited to the peo-
pie, and should be subjected. with all
due regard for all rights and interests
concerned, to scquestration or confsca-
ton, and the proceeds should be ap-
piled to the satisfaction of claims rising
from the war. The property of rebels
in rebel States should bs served in like
manner
