PARsoN Observation-Disclosures Union
citizens Of East Tennessee, who are now refu-
gees in Camp Dick Robinson, Garrard county,
Kentucky, write to the Louisville Journal that
the etory in circulation that Parson BroWnlow
bad turned secessionist is without the remot-
est truth. They say:
Many Of US know Parson Bromnlow personal
y, and further know that he, in his Last issue,
before Lis paper was suppressed, declared hin
nndS.ng attachment for the Union, aud. rather
than advocate the cause OF King JEFF: Davis
or support the Southern Confederacy. pre-
'ferred to sacrifice his press and property, It
may not be Inappropriate to state that the
whole Of East Tennessee is under the assumed
dictation and command Of Gen. Zollicoffer,
that the latter individual has the control 81
Of Brown1ow's press, aud that the latter's
principles are Union and against traitors
and treason. We know that Blownlow is
Union, and Union alone Gen. ZollicofTer or
some Of his miniols is responsible for the

CHEAT FIRE AT GALvA.
Extensive Broom " oFk . of she SEved.
1RR Colony Destroyed.


Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune,l
GALvA, III, Aug. 81, 1861.
most destructive fire occurred yesterday
at half past O'Clock 2. N, at Bishop Hill Col
ony, Henry county, Ill, resulting in the total
loss Of their entire Broom Corn Works, tnclud.
ing buildings, drying eheds, machinery, and
LOT tons broom corn brush, mostly prepared
for market From careful estimate, their
loss cannot fall short Of $4,000 No insur-
ance. The Colony was one Of the most extern
siye broom corn growers in Illinois, having
lnaugurated this branch Of agriculture some
years ago: consequently their works for its
manufacture were large and complete; but
today all is in ashes. This calamity viii fall
heavily on.the Colony, especially at this time,
as under the embarrassed condition of the
country, broom corn is about the only product
ot The tarm that can be realized upon. A fur.
ther loss to the Colony must eEEue, as thev
have large number of acres Of broom cor1,
Jet standing in the field, without buiIdingg
or machinery to prepare it for market: but
with their proverbial character for energy and
industry, they commenced with large force
tfss morning to reconstruct their works again
npcn t6e ruins OF yesterday. The fire ofigi-
mated through the act Of q couple Of smau
boys at play in enc cf the uroccupied build
jnge. They had procured matches and were
smoking broom com stalks.

The good results Of the recent SUCCESS Of
the Federal fleet at Hatteras Inlet cannot
no" be estimated, as no man can tell how
rapidly and effectively the blow there
struck will be followed un But that it is
capable of being made the. first Of series
Of triunphs which shall not only bring
North Carolina back to her allegiance, but
have powerful effect upon the contest at
large, is clear from The nature Of the van
tage ground that has been gained.
Hatteras Inlet is an op> ming into Pamli-
co Sound, fourteen miles southwest of
Cape Hatteras. It is the avenue through
which much Of the commerce Of that large
and important body Of water, finds an ont.
let to the ocean and market: and if w,,
considered point Of 60 much stratigica1
value that 1t was strongly and, as their en-
gineer said, impregnably, fortified by the
enemy. Under cover Of the forts com.
manding it, their privateers were in the
habit Of dodging out for cruise after our
merchantmen, and, with their prizes,hyinr
oack agaln, sure, when inside, Of har-
Dor from which they could not be driven
forth. The taking Of these forts has laid
the whole country open to the advance Of
our arms. Neuse River, Pamlico River,
Albemarle Bay, as well as the less impor-
tant channels Of water communication,
along tuN ha!f Of the sea front Of tie State,
are now open to our gun boats and steam
ers OF Light draft, and from them an army
OF any required number Of thousands NAV
be landed to operate against the enemy's
rear. The intentions of the Government
are no doubt foreshadowed in the occupa-
ton Of the forts from which the rebels
were dislodged. With them in our pos
session to fall back upon in case of need,
we have foot hold that may well create
anxiety among the North Carolina troops
opposite Washington; and one Of the first
Of the consequences Of the capture NAV be
their fight, on double quick, toward heme.
In the meantime, let us hope that craft of
the proper draught Of water will be imme-
diate1y sent through the Inlet, and up and
up and down the bays and rivers Of which
it is the outer gate, and that every schooner,
brig and shallop, that can mount a gun or
carry man, may be burned to the waters
edge.
