PARsON BRowNlOW'S BRILLIANT ACHIEVEMENT

Among the unexpeced--and yet not unexpected-news
from the seat Of is that Of the Of the rebel forces
by Tennessee Unionists under Parson Brownow. When
the recent excitement occurred In Tennessee relative
tho destruction Of the railway bridges the rebels
came rampant in their threats against the Unonsts OF
that State in general and Parson Brownlow particular
and their vengeance was to be visited upon them in
summary and violent manner These Union mon how
ever when finally aroused not to be put down
with mere words and consequently banded themselves
together under the guidance Of Parson Brownlow and
took temporary refuge thcmounains for the purpose
organizing themselves into proper military force Tho
rebels thought they had conquered and put to ightby
threats ony-the gallant little band OF loyal men, and
30 they reocd but the facts reach snake they
thought they had killed not "scotched for wc

5000 men, under Acting Gen Parson Browniow attacked
the Confederate forces at Morrisown East Tennessee on
the LIST day Of the present MONTH killed large number
Of the troops and completely routed them OF course
rebels do not state what their force at that place
sisted Of but is well known that they have been trans
porting troops through and into the State In large num-
bers, and Major General George Crtenden-the rebel
son and brother Of true loyal arrived
at Knoxville to take command Of the rebel forces In that
neighborhood The rebels themselves acknowledge q

SKETCH OF PARsoN BROwNLow.

Parson Brownlow is man Of great nerve and deter
mnation which qualities have shown themselves forth
prominently during the present troubles He is regu
lary ordained minister Of the Gospel and also the
editor OF the Knoxville Wing. He has resided for
many years in Tennessee, and has his wife, family.
property and interests centred in that State The
paper which he owned an old established journal
and we believe IL was founded by himself al Knox.
VILE Tho subject OF this sketch is q man Of sbou,
forty five or nifty years Of age tall and spare built but
of perfectly fearless deposition, caring nothing for
the threats Of any man on earth The people OF New
York will remember the spirited defiance he hurled at the
abotonsts o few years since, which eliminated in
public argument between him aud man named Paine
The discussion carried in Philadelphia about two
ago. and the arguments both Sides delivered in
ssres Of dscoarees by each party occupied weeks in
their delivery he boldly stood up for the Union
during the period previous to the secession Of his
State, and when Il left the Union he still main
tanned his stand sgsnst the rebels, Offering to Eight
them until not 3 drop Of blood was left in
his veins When compelled almost by brute force to re-
strain bis pep hs determined not to support the
rebels, but remained apparently passive neutral
He, however had the right spirit working within HIM
and now shows forth In support Of the Union under the
moet trying circumstances. Polk was allowed to drop
the Bishop for the General surely the title Of Paraou
should now be dropped BY order Of the government and
q more military one put in its place.

The sides of the upper vessel are first formed
ofplate iron half an inch thick, outside of which
is attached solid white oak, twenty-six inches
NOR of five inches thickness. The bomb-proof
deck is supported by well stanchioned and di-
agonally braced oak beams, ten inches square,
placed with their faces twenty-six inches apart,
upon which is laid planking seven inches thick,
covered with rolled plate iron one inch thick.
As the bottoms Of these beams are on level
with the water line, it will be observed that
above water the armor is supported by back
Ing of forty-one feet in depth. .a
The revolving turret consists first Of . rolled
plate iron skeleton, one inch thick, to which are
riveted in the most substantial manner two
thicknesses, of one inch each. Of rolled iron
plates. Outside Of these riveted plates are six
thicknesses, Of one inch each Of rolled plates
bolted firmly to the first two thicknesscs with
screw bolts, having deep conntersunk heads on
the outside and nuts within, so that if the enc
my's shot shall loosen any of the plates they
can be readily ightened. There are only ver-
tical seams, and these break joints with each
other so that no shot can strike the seam Of
more than one thickness. The top is covered
with bomb-proof roof, placed six inches down
within the cylinder and perforated with holes.
The lower part of the gun carriages, upon which
the upper part slides when the gun is run in or
out, consists Of solid wrought iron beams, ex-
tending the whole diameter of the turret. with
their ends firmly secured to it in such manner
hat they essentially form part of H. These
beams are planed perfectly true, and are seven
inches deep by four inches wide They are
placed perfectly parallel in the turret-both
guns pointing In the same direction-which per-
mits the officer conducting the cannonade to
take his aim by sights axed with the turret in
stead of with the guns, in the usual way, which
requires personal exposure when taking the
aim The ports through the side Of the turret
are only sufficiently wide to permit of the pas
sage through them of the muzzle Of the
guns, and with just enough addition, vertically,
for the moderate elevation required. Inside of
these swing huge wrought iron pendulums,
which close them against the enemy as soon as
the gun recoils. Two Of the heaviest guns now
used by the navy are to be employed. The
whole Is made to revolve by pair of steam
