Parson Brownlovv stin Firm. .


Parson Brownlow announces that the issue
Of the Knoxville Wing of October 26th will
be the last for some time, and perhaps forever.
He is informed that he has been indicted for
treason by the Rebel authorities at Nashville,
and Immediately arranged to meet his accu-
sers. In announcing the fact the old hero
stands firm He announces his determination
not to tatnsh his name with single act Of
submission He will give no bonds, take no,
oath, no nothing that does not become one
ready to sacrifice his all for the Union. He
says:
l shall in no degree feel humbled by being
cast into prison, whenever it is the will and
pleasure of this august Government to put
me there; but on the contrary, shall feel
proud of my confinement. shall go to Jail
as John Rogers went to the stake-for my
principles. / shall go because have failed to
recognize the hand of God in the work Of
breaking up the American Government, and
the Inauguration of the most wicked cruel,
unnatural and uncalled for war ever recorded
in history.
Ego, because have refused to laud to the
skies the acts of tyranny, usurpation and OPP
preston inflicted upon the people of Eas,
Tennessee, because of their devotion to the
Constitution and the laws of the Government
handed down to them by their fathers, and
the liberties secured to them by war Of
seven long years Of gloom, poverty and trial
| repeat, l am proud of my position, and Of
my principles, and shall leave them to nay
children as legacy, far more valuable than &
princely fortune, had I the latter to bestow

Tne O.hFederate Traa6ury.


Mr. Memminger, the Ubnfederate Secretary
Of the Treasury, gives doleful account Of the
present and prospective financial condition Of
his Government. What an appalling picture
is disclosed in the following extract from one
of his last communications-being a letter in
reply TO the cotton planters:
1T would appear that the planters, serious
ly oppressed as they are by the blockode, have
appealed to the Governments either to purchase
the entire cotton crop Of the year, or make an
advance upon its hypOthecated valus. TO
both Of these proposals Mr. Memminger de-
clines 10 accede, remarking at the same time,
that sthey demand that new Government,
yet struggling for an existence, should reject
all lessons Of experience, and undertake that
which no government, however long estab-
lished, has yet succeeded in effecting;" and the
experiment he says, is proposed, moreover, to
a Government engaged in . gigantic war
whose enemies are in possession Of all the
munitions and workshops that have been col
lected during fcrty-6ve years Of peace, whose
feet have been built up at the joint expense
of both North and South; who, with all these
on hand, are compelled to spend nearly ter
millions per week to carry on the war and
''can we," says Mr.. Memminger, "expect tc
contend with them at less<han half that ex,
penditure?" He reminds the planters, fur.
ther, that it is not their notes and bonds, mo-
their produce, which the Government requires
but money, which is essential to its existence
he declares the experiment ofincreasing th'
liability, and thus damaging the credit of th
Government is too dangerous one to b
tried for the furtherance Of any interest, evel
that Of cotton and he very plainly tells tn
planters that they must seek relief elsewhere
"Let the planters" says he, "divert thei
labor from cotton, and take measures for tn
supply Of the winter crops. He recommend
the increased cultivation of grain, and other ag
ricultural products and points to the none,
capital in banks and private hands as read,
resource"
If this is the report Of the Secretary of tn
Treasury, what must be the report of tn
Secretary Of War? If there is no money i
the locker, how can the head Of the family g
to market? Lfhis own people will not trus
him how can the President borrow from stran
ger?

sickness i'm the southern Army.


Our WoRsT ENEMIEs.-The most danger
Gus enemies whom the South have to fear
are disease, climate and inaction.s The pub
Lie eye is fixed, upon the armed. host of inYad-
ers as the principal object Of concern, when,
in fact, the grand army is one iof the smallest
dangers we have to comprehend y y - y Y.
The Confederate army has now nearly finished
a summer campaign, in which the battle of
Manassas was merely an episode, not to be
compared in its tragic features TO the silent
and deadly struggles with sickness and priva-
ton which constitute the real battles Of every
war. We cannot expect our gallant soldiers
to triumph over disease and climate, and we
confess we look forward to- the coming winter
with the most profound solicitude that meas
ures should be Immediately taken for the
preservation Of the health and comfort of the
army. We learn chat thefeAis already great
suffering among our noble volunteers in West
ern Virginia bleak and variable climate,
where the winter sets in early, and where the
difficulties Of transportation would seem to
require the most prompt and systematic prep
aration for the supply, shelter and clothing Of
our troops. The subject is one of vital and
pressing importance. = Rschns01l2 Eaq0ed

Rich VIthout money

Many man is rich without money. Thou
sands of men with nothing in their pocket, and
thousands without even pocket, are rich
A man born with good sound constitution,
a good stomach, good heart, and good limbs,
and pretty good head piece, is rich. Good
bones are better than gold; tough muscles, than
silver, and nerves that fash fire and carry en-
ergy to every function, are better than houses
and lands. @
1t is better than landed estate to have the
right kind Of father and mother. Good breeds
and bad breeds exist among men as really as
they do among herds and horses. Education
may do much to check evil tendencies, or tC
develop good Ones but it is great thing tt
inherit the right proportion Of faculties tt
start with.
That man is rich who has good disposi.
tion-who is naturally kind, patient cheerful
hopeful, and who has flavor of wit and fur
in his composition. The, hardest thing to get
along with in this life is a mans own SELF
A cross, selfish, desponding and complaining
fellow-a timid, care-burdened rnan-thest
have all been deformed on the inside. Theil
feet may not limp, but their thoughts do.

Gen. mttcher.

i7 We are informed that Gen. o. M. Mitchell,
commanding this Department, has resigned.
The cause of his resignation is understood to
be his unsatisfactory relations with Gen. Sher-
man, commanding in Kentucky. It has been,
for SOME time, evident thatiiferences predju-
dicial to the public interest s existed between
Generals Sherman And Mitchell, In what
manner, if atall, the situation will be improv-
ed. if General Mitchell has resigned We have
not been advised. Something evidently
should be done, to facilitates the transmission
Of troops and munitions Of war into Kentucky

The Government has not supplied the
funds agreeable to promise, for the construc-
ton of gun boats designed to operate on the
Mississippi. A correspondent of the St
Louis Democrat, writing on the 30th October
says: 3a@ sa.a.,
With referece to- the boats and machinery
outside of the big gun boats, for operation on
the Mississippi, heavy outlays has been in.
Cured, and the contracts are not such as will
warrant ten per cent. for the use of money
and twelve per cent. to convert it into specie
which is the only alternative if the work il
to go on and funds not forthcoming. AS the,
cannot afford this, the result must inevitabl.
be that the work must stop. The hands EN-
ployed are already several weeks without pa,
sin some cases months. The work will b
protracted into winter, when outdoor worl
is nearly impracticabie and when ice in tn
river must necessarily operate against any i'm
mediate availability of the expedition.
