Parson Brownlow on the Manassas
Defeat.
The Knoxville Whig of the 25th. saws:

The Knoxville Wing of the 25th, says:
There was quite ringing of bells in this
city, upon the receipt of the news of the
battle at Manassas, and much rejoicing in
other respects, on the part of Seccssionists.
For our part, had we even been Seces-
sionist, we could see no cause for rejoicing,
unless it were to rejoice that the state of the
case was no worse! When the facts all
come to light, it will appear, beyond doubt,
that the Southern loss was greater than that
of the Federal loss-that not one half of the
Federal forces were at any time i'm the en-
gagement-that they retreated in regular
order, and only when night came upon them.
1t will further turn out that the Federal
forces now have the entire possession of all
Northwestern Virginia, and have managed
to concentrate the Confederate forces in and
around Manassas. Wise, it is true, isin that
country with a small division, but Mcclellan
is in hot pursuit Of him. And as to Manas-
sas, We have no other expectation but that
the Confederate forces will fall back from
there upon Richmond, and there make their
last and desperate stand. We are aware
that run-mad Secessionists, men made fran
tic with whisky, and the tools and hangers
on OF designing leaders, will make light of
these calculations but we ask our readers
to hold on for few days and weeks, and
see who has made the most accurate calcu-
lations.

MORE HEAVY ORDNANCE FOR Fremont.

MORE HEAVY ORDNANCE FOR FREMONT
Shortly after the close ofthe Mexican war,
among lot Of heavy ordnance cast at the
Fort Pitt works were sixteen nine-mch navy
guns, which were never removed, the mod
els being subsequently altered. These guns
have since been stored in the yard at the
works, and on the breaking out of the war,
when an inroad from the South was consid-
cred possible, if not probable, they were free
offer was never considered. The activity
which has lately been infused into all branch
es of the service has created demand for
all the ordnance which could be produced,
and information having been given the De-
partment in regard to this lot of guns, an or
der was at once telegraphed to put them in
serviceable condition, and ship them to St.
Louis. Gen. Fremont will soon be in con-
dition to laugh at any force the free
hooters of tie Southwest can bring against
him. Pittsburg Dispatch.

AKENrucKY PAPER ON JOHN C. BREcK,

AKENTUcKY PAPER oNJoHN c. BREcK-
INRIDGE.-The following from the Winches-
ter, Ky. Union, of July Goth, would seem,
to casual observer, tolerably explicit;
"a gentleman remarked the other day
that he thought that in our last issue we
spoke of the head of John G. Breckenridge,
borne aloft on a pike, being banner under
which the Home Guards of Kentucky would
march to victory. We did not say that we
preferred that Breckenridge should meet his
fate in exactly that manner. We did mean
to intimate--we now explicitly declare, that
he merits death for his crimes. But we
should much prefer to have John c. Breck-
inridge indicted and tried and hanged on a
gibbet for treason. ~

BERDAN'S SHARPSHOOTERS.
Wonderful Target Practice.
A MORTAL WOUND AT EVERY SHOT.

From the y. " Tribune August ~
Judging by the fair criterion of the riff,
practice at Weehawken yesterday, it woulc
seem as if we were about to introduce int
our army the most valuable and effectiv,
arm of the service that could be devised. -
One, too, that if it had been employed a
Bull Run might have changed the FORTUNES
OF the day, and inflicted irreparable loss OF
the enemy 1t is one that is regarded a
the greatest bulwark of Switzerland in cas-,
of war, and that in our hands will undoubt
edly become in the highest degree popular
and efficient. European nations freely con
cede the matchless skill of our frontier rifle
men, and to 'shoot like Yankee back
woodsman" has passed into a proverb il
certain districts abroad. Our border history
teens with stories Of the exploits of hardy
men, whose trusty rifles protected then
from Indian foes and procured the means O.
their subsistence; and in our several war;
with Mexico, England, and the Indian tribe
these wonderful marksmen have rid us O
many prominent officer and chief. Strange
ly enough, no effort has been made to in
corporate these men into regiment of sharp
shooters until Mr. Berdan volunteered t.
accept the onerous task. How successful

said she alluded to a point in the sermon. To
which l replied l had not caugb, o woid of it.
Laura Matilda said, neither had she, but that she
distinctly saw Mr.. Beocher open his mouth. The
supposition is that when Beecher opens his mouth
he says something; and that when he says some
thing, IL is good. But admitting this supposiiion
and proposition, to sit in q Church porch aud get
no nearer to the preacher than to see him open
his mouth, is not q particularly pleasant amuse-
ment Of a cold Sunday. Aud | think that my ex-
perience justi6es me in saying that curiosity

representations aud drinking formed a part Of
their social worship. The Court set aside this
line Of defense very summarily, and the ingenious
proprietor suffered the full penalty Of the law

addresses of serious persons, and OF several speak

FROM puncn.
TIE sTAR-SPANGLED BANNER.

The Star-spaugled banner that blows broad and
brave,
Ger the home of the free, Ger the hut of the
slave
Whose stars in the face of no foe ser waxed pale,
And whose stripes are for those that the stars
dare assail-
Whose folds eVry year broad and broader have
grown,
Till they shadow both arctic and tropical Hone,
From the Sierra Nevada to Florida's shore,
And, like Olirer ItciSt, are still asking for more
That Banner whose inlantine bunting can boast
To have witnessed the Unions great charter en-
crossed;
Which at Boston saw Freedoms stout struggle be-
gun,
And from WAsHINGToN welcomed its victory
won
For our fathers in rebel defiance it spread,
But to Us it waves b~rotherly greeting instead;
And Concord AMI Peace, not Bellona and Mars,
Now support England's Jack and the States
Stripes and Stars.
Can it be shere are PARTICLE hands that would teal
This s:ar.spangled banner, so broad and so fair?
And if there be hands would such sacrilege try,
Is the bunting too weak the attempt to defyP
Alas! while it's wool Freedom wove in her loom,
She paused in her work, and the Fiend took her
room,
Ard, selling the shuttle tina. FIR eedom had left,
Threw Slavery's warp across Liberty's welt.
How the Fiend laughed and leaped, as the swift
shuttle few,
With its blood-rotted threads, the fair welt run
ming through,
(" Now cut out your web--it is broad, it is long
Twixt Fiend's work and Freedoms let's hope it il
strong!"
And now that the blood-rotted warp Is worn bare
The flag it is fraying, the flag it may tear;
For the Fiend cheers on those who to rend it es
say,
And the work he's had hand in is apt to give way
Now Heaven guide the issue! May Freedom
white hands
Ere too late, from the flag pluck these blOod-rOt
ted strands,
And to battle aud breeze fling the banner in proc
That Ills all her own fabric, in warp as in wool.
If this may not be, if the moment be nigh.
When this banner unrent shall no more hout tn
sky,
To make fitting division of beams and of bars,
Let the South have the Stripes and the NortI
have the Stars.

LET'S UP AND BE D0INGl
BY MRS. N. p. A. cRozIER.

Let's up and be doing, nor wait for the morrowl
Never tomorrow may come to our handj
Who waits for its advent may answer in sorrow,
If God shall tonight his lone talent demand.
Be doingl there's never q lack Of employment,
The harvest is white, but the toilers are fewl
Life's sweetest, and purest, and noblest enjoyment,
Is doing what Heaven has assigned us to do.
Let's up and BIO doing! our duties lie near us,
Though humble the labor, let's work with a will
Gods voice in the heart will be music TO cheer us,
Gods smile will DO sunshine, our bosoms to fill
No toll is SO loSly, if rendered to Heaven,
1t may not be noted by angels above;
No service SO simple, If faithfully given,
That God docs not bend to reward it with love
Though humble the labor, the wild bird while
singing
Is pleasing his God in the song that he trills;
The violet, when from the green sward up-spring
ing,
In smiles and in perfume its duty ful6lls.
So a smile from your lips, for the poor who may
need it,
a word Of sweet hope for the heart in despair,
A word of wise counsel for him who may heed it
Are fragrant to Heaven as the incense Of prayer
Let's up and DO doing, nor wait for the morrow;
No longer for great deeds to be given us 10 do;
An angel to Tighten a babes little sorrow,
Might spread his bright wings add come dowI
from the blue.
Be doingl for brief is the hour that is given
To mortals to toll on this sin-clouded earth,
And many choice germs have been planted b.
Heaven,
That wait for the sunlight to bring them to birth
