PARsoN BRowNLow.-The Cincinnati
Commercial states that Mr.. Brownlow
returned on Saturday night to that city
from his Northwestern tour. His
health and voice are steadily improy-
ing. He is surprised, that. with much
public speaking. his voice gains
strength, and attributes II 10 the good
cause in which he is exerting himself.
The prisoners from the Cotton States
at Indianapolis were disposed to be in
solent when the Parson visited them.
but the Tennesseeans were glad to see
him. At Chicago the prisoners were
all pleased with his visit, and he re-
cognized hundreds of them as personal
acquaintances. He found among them
an earnest desire for peace and the res
toration of the Union. The Tennessee
ans were particularly disposed to be
for the Union, and said they would be
glad of the opportunity of voting Ten
nessee into the Union again. Mr..
Brownlow's address to them was well
received. They emphatically assented
to his remark that the doctrines he had
taught them would never have got
them into such scrape, and that they
should blame their lying political
leaders for their troubles. Mr.. Brown
low went to Columbus yesterday.
where he will address the people, and
thence will go direct to Philadelphia.
where his book on the rebellion will
be published. He proposes to retire to
the country, after he has reached Phil
adelphia, and to devote himself to the
preparation Of his book.

the 18th, 1862, TOWNSEND P. MATHEWS, il
the 18th year of his age.
Death once more appears among us,
One just merging into bloom
From the days of boy to manhood,
Now doth slumber in the tomb.
He hath left an aged father,
And a mother stricken now,
But unto this great affiiction
They'll, We hope, resignedly bow.
Sisters too, and brothers weeping,
By their loss are much depressed;
Come unto The blessed Savior,
He hath said, "I'll give thee rest"
May each one who claims the promise,
That the mourning heart hath won,
Say with fervor, yes, dear Savior,
Not my will, but thine be done.

DEATH OF JOHN NJ. COLEMAN.

Yesterday morning, about the same
hour in which we are now writing this
article, we saw our excellent friend
John NJ. Coleman, in perfect health
This morning we have looked upon bis
inanimate form sleeping that sleep
which knows no waking until the dead
shall arise. The departure was, in.
deed, sudden and entirely unexpected
The deceased had returned from his
usual afternoon ride, psrtook of 6
light repast, complained of slight in
disposition, sought his chamber and
expired Immediately on reaching it
about O'Clock P. NJ, in the sixty.
fourth year of his age, at his residence
No. 1908 Fifth street.
John M. Coleman was born ir
Orange county, N. Y, where his fami
ly was largely connected with the agri'
cultural interests of the country
When Mr.. Coleman left the paterna
homestead he settled in Lancaster
county, where he was at once apprecia
ted for his intellectual ability and mora
worth. The enterprising young man,
however, desired a more extensive
theatre for action, and therefore came
to Philadelphia, where he was soor
surrounded by host Of warm and ap
preciating friends.
His varied and scholastic acquire
ments were soon brought into requisi
tion, for it was discovered that b
possessed, in a pre-eminent degree,
the faculty of imparting to others thu
information he had acquired. In al
parts of the United States are. to b
found men of distinction who, Will
they viii sorrow over the demise o
Mr.. Coleman, will take melancholy
pleasure in acknowledging him t
have been their early mentor an,
skillful director to the paths whicl
have led them to eminence and useful

The st. Louis Democrat says.
We have Just had talk with one oi
the Federal scouts who was in Corinth
on the Saturday preceding the battle
of Pittsburg. He says the rebel army
which marched out of thst place to the
attack could not have been less than
100000 men. He endeayored to
reach the Federal lines in time to give
the warning of the impending danger,
but found it very difficult to pass the
rebel lines. He finally succeeded by
going on the cars as far as Inka, but
then found himself beyond reach. He
hastened on, however, and saw the bat
tie on Sunday and Monday.
Among the dead on the battlefield
he recognized the body Of Lieut.. Doug
lass. farmely Of this city, who fought
in Bowen's brigade. He saw num-
Der of St. Louisians while at Corinth,
among whom were DR.. Hammersley
and E. B. Savers.
He says there are no Notifications at
or within four miles of Corinth. Pea
Ridge, however, is strongly guarded
by batteries OF heavy guns. He thinks
Beauregard's left may be easily turned.
His right is strongly protected.
