PARsoH BRowNLow's PRAYER.-Parson BrowE- low issues the following form of prayer, which he asks the local preachers of East Tennessee to use while the country is in its present peril It may be open to criticism, but nobody can say that it is not explicit and straightforward: eAlmighty God, our Heavenly Father, in whose hands are the hearts of men, and the is- sue of events, not mixed up with locofocoism, or rendered offensive in Thy sight by being identi- fed with men of corrupt minds, evil designs, and damnable purposes, such as seeking to upturn the best form of Government on earth. Thou hast graciously promised to hear the prayers of those who in an humble spirit, and with true faith-such as no secessionist can bring into ex- ercise-can upon Thee. Be pleased, we beseech Thee, fayorably to look upon and bless the Union men of this Commonwealth, and sustain them in their praiseworthy efforts to perpetuate this Government, and under it the institutions of our holy religion. Possess their minds with the spirit of true patriotism, enlightened wisdom, and of persevering hostility toward those trait ors, political gamblers and selfish demagogues, who are seeking to build up miserable South ern Confectionery, and under it to inaugurate new reading of the Ten Commandments, so as to teach that the chief end cf man is niggeri In these days of trouble and perplexity, give the common people grace to perceive the right path, which, Thou knowest, leads from the camps, of Southern mad-caps and Northern fanatics, and enable them steadfastly to walk therein!
 ''So strengthen the common masses, O Lord and 50 direct them, that they, being hindered neither by the fear of re-eaters, nor by the love of the corrupt men in power, nor by bribery, nor by an overcharge of mean whiskey, nor by any other Democratic passion, but being mindful of Thy constant superintendence, of the awful majesty of Thy righteousness, of Thy hatred of g corrupt Democracy and it's profigate leaders, and of strict account they must hereafter give to Thee, they may in counsel, word and deed aim supremely at the fulfllment of their duty, which is to talk, vote and pray against the wicked lead CTS of Abolitionism, and the equally ungodly ad- yocates of Secessionism. God grant that those of Thy professed ministers who are mixed up with modern Democracy, and have become so hardened in sin as openly to advocate the vile delusion, may speedily abandon their unministe- rial habits, go over to the cause of the Devil, that their position may at least be unequivocal, and that they may thereby advance the welfare of the country And grant that these fre-eat- CTS may soon run their race, that the course of this world may be so peaceably ordered, by Thy superintendence, that Thy church and Thy whole people, irrespective of sects, may joyfully serve Thee in all godly quietness, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen!"
