Parson Brownlow's Daughter.

"A gentleman just arrived IN this city
from Knoxville, Tenn, brings intelligence
of affairs in that city. He informs us that
$500 Secession troops are stationed there
for the express purpose of overawing the
Union men. 1t is a part of their business
to engage in quarrels in saloons, and in
street fights, with all who are not friendly
to secession. Two men wereshot last week
for no other offence than speaking words
of LOYALTY to the Federal Government.
The house of the celebrated, bold-hearted
and out-spoken Parson Brownlow, is the
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 pr
azza, and stepped out and demanded their
business. Thed replied that they had come
to stake down then d--n stars and stripes
She instantly drew revolver from hel
side, and said, "Go on I'm good for one
Of you, and | think for both!'
"By the looks Of that girls eve, shell
shoot" one remarked. Il think we'd bet
ter lot try it; we'll go back again and get
more men," said the other.
GO and get more men, said the noble
lady; "get more men and come and take i
down, if you daro!"
They returned with a company Of ninety
armed men, and demanded that the flag
should be hauled down. But on discover
ing that the house was filed with gallen
men, armed to the teeth, who would rath
er die as dearly as possible than see thei
country's flag dishonored, the secessionst
retired.
When our informant left Knoxville, tht
Stars and Stripes still floated to the breez
over Parson Brownlow's house. Long
may they wave - Chicago Journal.

Gg-T The number Of Geographic dispatch
es seized by Mr.. Murray, the United States
Marshal, at the Office in this city, was
255,50o There were 365 packages Of
700 EACH The dispatches have not been
removed from the telegraph Office, but the
room in which they are stored is under the
charge of two Deputy Marsbals, who have
possession of the keys.
The orders for the seizure were received
from Washington several days ago, which
shows that Government secrets do not suf-
fer in the hands Of the Marshal.
The work of examining the dispatches
is going on to day; but The number is SO
large that it will Of course require great
deal of time to look them over. 1t is be-
lieved that great deal of valuable infor-
nation has already been obtained, and that
much more is to come.
1t is intimated that many parties who
have been in the habit of sending informa-
ton to the rebel govern ment. have become
very uneasy since this seizure, and some
have actually left for parts unknown.-N

ARMS IN KENTUcKY.-By the testimo-
ny of Hon. Carrot Davis, reported by tele-
graph, on the yexed question Of the arms
which have gone into Kentucky, it appears
that $4,000 stands were obtained through
the aid of an u. S. naval officer, with the
promise of as many more, is needed. The
object for which they were pledged to be
used is most praiseworthd one, viz: tc
protect the cause Of the Union in Kentucky
and prevent the secessionists from putting
that noble Commonwealth under the mill
tary control of Jefferson Davis. Now lei
