J. G. RAMSEY, Esq

Upon the reading of the foregoing letter,
the Attorney remarked that the arrest of
Brow low had been made after consultation
with the military authorities, who had given
assurances that if Brownlow should be ar.
rested by civil process that the military
would in no manner interfere in his behalf,
except 10 protect him from personal violence
that this arrest had been 10 ade because of the
following and similar ar ticles which had
been published In BroWnlow's paper:
"Let the railroads on which Union citizens
OF East Tennessee are conveyed to Montgo-
merry in irous, be eternally and hopelessly
destroyed Let the property OF the men con-
cerned be consumed, and let their lives pay
the forfeit, ana the names Will be given i''
District Attorney Ramsey then proceeded to
say that he would enter a nolie prosequi only
upon the ground that that the good TAI tn Of
the Confederate States Government should
be carried out in this case, and RrownlOw be
transported beyond our lines. This he did
that no imputs alton whatever should be made
against the authorities at Richmond OF bad
faith, no matter what might be the circum-
stances which led the authorities to such q
conclusion. For himself, he believed that
Brownlow could have been arrested, but as .
ana ,s ,mPa esslon prevailed At Richmond
Information they had, he could not do other.

A gentleman who may be relied on, and
who is we'll known to the commander here.
came to the lines Mt Birds Point, this
evening, and gave the following inforIna.
ton to Col Oglesby
He states that four infantry regiments
and three gun-boats left Columbus last
night, for New Orleans, where a battle
was being fought. and the city seriously
threatened by the Federal forces. No
particulars had transpired, but the fact Of
the attack, and sending reinforcements.
may be relied on.
Gen. Polk was very much excited. and
all the leyies at Columbus were anxious
TO leave At once, to protect Louisiana,
from which State they are mostly from. -
This movement was the one that caused
great expectations Of an attack here few
nights ago.

EEEverybody who don't want any.
body hurt in this war is dreadfully shock
ed at the idea Of having negro soldiers en-.
listed TO fight the battles Of The Union.
Gen. Jackson. it seemed, did want q
hurt somebody 1t New Orleans. and be
called upon the colored men to help him.
and they responded patriotically and
bravely to the call to help whip the Brit
ish, who were certainly no worse than the
traitors against whom the present war il
waged.
But ~ matter Of fact, the question il
not worth minutes controversy. for We
have six hundred thousand white men ia
the field who have never got chance n
fight. and fear they never will have !
chance under the present expensive and
humane police system.
