From East Tennessee.-BrOW
Still above Water.

Still above w AtGEs
We received yesterday copy of Brown
lows Tennessee Wig, done up in letter
form, six cents paid on it, aud mailed at
Louisville.
Our brave friend, the Parson. is having
hard time of it, but he still fights on and
on, as valiautly as ever, in the good cause
Of the Union. Come life or death, he has
planted his colors, and will stand by the
country to the last.
He has been obliged to stop the publi-
cation of his tri-weekly paper. He says
the secession thieves have riAed bis letters,
taken out his subscription, aud are regu-
larly at work, in an assassin wsy, trying
to break him down. BE concludes his
notice with call upon the Union men of
East Tennessee for increased exertiOns. lie
says:
only ask that the expenses of publica-
ton be met, and that get my meat and
bread. / am willing to labor in the cause
without one dollar in toe way of profits. !
ask no favor of secessiOn-I expect none
they may continue their proscriptiye
it and their vile principles.
We take the two following extracts from
his paper:
"BRowxLow cAx'r GET Away"
Certain secessionists are Boosting that
we can't get out of East Teunessee-that
the confederate forces have rs surrounded
and don't intend we shall leave the
countrYI Such will be rather astonished
when we tell them that we don't want to
leave-that we don't intend to leave-that
we can neither be coaxed nor driven ont of
the country-and we are Just where of all
other places, we desire to be, at home
The difference between us and some of our
citizens, who are uttering these cloud
swelling words" is, we stand 6y our prIn-
ciples, and dare to defend them, while they,
tracking spirit of cowardice,
from base mercenary motives, and from Il
most disgracefnl anxiety to be with the
party in power in the State, hypOcritically
pretend to be what they are not, and
cry out for hut, which, in their very hearts,
they despise, lOathe, and condemn. God
deliver US from such a dog-like spirit of
submission to tyranny, and its tools!
THE REAL TRAITORS.
Much is said of late about the traitors
who have brought existing troubles upon
the country, and a good deal is said, by
way of dispute, as to who they are. Por-
tons Of them live on both sides of Mason
and Dixon's line. But the real traitors
who are responsible for the disruption of
the American Union, and the present civil
war, threatening such fearful consequent
ces, are Yancey, Rhett, Toombs, Pryor.
Davis, Keitt, Iversou, Wise, Mason, Wig
fall and Sreckipridge and Laua, who lent
themselves to their miserable PURPOSES
If there are any men in this country who
deserve the doom of traitors, they are
these authors of our national calamities
And if this war continues from three TO
five years, as We believe it will, they will
be obliged TO fee their country to avoid
receiving Il traitors reward. They have
misled and deceived the Southern people to
the ruin of the country. And when the
reaction takes place, as it surely will, pop
ular vengeance will seek them for punish
ment When disaster and suffering per-
wade the South, as it surely will; when the
innocent people cry out under the burden
of taxes and debt which this war will force
upon them, then will come the day of
reckoning for the real traitors-the POLITE
teal demagogues-who are the authors Of
the nations calamity. To avoid this doom,
these men will make superhuman efforts
to carry the day on the field of battle, and
thus prevent the reaction which promises
their ruin. But they cannot evade the nc
countability to God, and to an outraged
people. And if the war continue three to
five years-as we sincerely believe it will,
the men we have named, aud other SMALL
er lights, will be fugitiyes in foreign coun-
tries
