Two daughters of Lyman G.. Camp Of Mont

East Tennessee is strongly Union as a
whole, but in some towns even there the peo-
pie will not permit Johnson to speak. There
is danger that the Union men will be over
borne by the Secessionists Of Middle and Wes-
tern Tennessee, and military despotism under
the direction Of the Governor. The young
ladies passed through Knoxville on Tuesday
of last week. At that time parson Brownlow
was in danger, though no outrage had at that
time been committed The rumor Of an at
tack on Brownlow and Maynard, which came
last week via Georgia, was incorrect.
