FAULKNEG AND NELSON. An Eastern pa

Faulkner, at Washington. ani WHO begin to
mouth and roar about the writ OF AdbeaS c or

f. y. Il. Nelson, of East Tennessee, who has
been arrested for the high crime against the
Secession conspirators, of being Union man.
The Baltimore American says Of Nelson:
Nelson will be remembered as the eloquent
advocate Of the Union in Congress, and
among Us as the gentleman who, about Il
year since, came from Washington to deliver
Union lecture at the Maryland Institute,
10y request OF the Light Street Church, for
some charitable purposes, an occasion hoh-

the people of his own State have, and hence
his threatened reward. Thus it is that Sc

dcspolism wherever it has the power, wholly
disregarding all civil rights, and ignoring all
freedom of sentiment. The probability is,
that the turn OF Senator johnson. Horace

revolution in Tennessee, which will convert
the state into II huge battle field as in the
