Brownlow's Plan of Trying it On.


Parson BrownlOw is known to be q
decided pro. slavery man, but he is mo-
one of the sort who are thrown into
spasm of indignation every time thu
word freedom is mentioned He tell.
you merely, in reply of the practioa
difficulties Of emancipation, and i
would seem from conversation
he had lately with the editor of the
Evangelist, that he is not unwilling tc
see the experiment tried. The Evan
gelist says:
AS we had the privilege OF meeting
him in private few evening since
we took occasion to sound him on thi
point, wishing to see if he was as touchy
on the subject as some loyal men at the
South, who profess to love the Union
much, but seem to love Slavery more
ParsOn Brownlow, We are happy to say,
is not one of that sort. Though, as a
Southern man, he sees all the practical
difficulties in the way, and is disposed
to move slowly and cautiously, he is
not atall frightened by the mad do"
cry Of abolitionist
One of his suggestions struck us as
showing so much Of shrewdnes, and
common sense that we cannot keep il
back. He said: GAS emancipation
was an experiment, he thought it would
be we'll, before trying it on large scale,
to begin with single State, and he
would suggest that, just by way of ox-
pertinent, to see how it would work,
they should begin with South Carolina.
There he would like to see tho Govern
ment emancipato the slaves, and turn
them out to grass !"
This is good suggestion; and if there
is to be any compromise when we
come TO the settlement of the quarrel
between the North and the South, we
trust that Brownlow's motion wi Il form
part of it. Slavery is nowhere more
inveterate and powerful than in South
Carolina; and if emancipation should
succeed there, it might bo taken as
proved that it would succeed every,
where. Gen. Hunter had the same
thought in his head, but he was, per.
haps, little irregular and premature
in carrying it. into executiOn.-[N. Y

Obituary Notice Of Daniel Amen,
Late of the Goth Ohio.
Loousr GRovE. o., Aug, 1869.


LocUsT GROVE. o., Aug, 1869.
DEAR NEws:-At this time, when so
many of our soldiers have fallen, obitu-
ary notices must be brief.
The name of DANIEL AMEN is famil.
lar to many Of your readers. lie was
member of Captain Harry's company,
Goth regiment Ohio Volunteers, and
upon Gen. Fremont's busty departure
from Franklin in pursuit Of "Stonewall
Jackson" young Amen, together with
others who we're unable to proceed with
the regiment, was left behind, and soon
afterwards fell into the hands of the
enemy.
The friends had been advised Of the
dangerous illness Of Daniel, and his
brother Samuel hastened with all dis
patch to his relief but upon arriving
within 80 miles of his destination, be
found himself in an enemy's country
and unable to proceed with safety. lie
however obtained the sad intelligence
of his brothers death and burial few
days previous, and also recovered his
portfolio, in which were found the fol-
lowing lines in manuscript, that had
doubtless been written by the heroic boy
in view of his own fast approaching
fate.
Let us cherish the memory of the
brave young soldier, and sympathize
with those who are bereft of dutiful
son and an affectionate brother.

Bitter Regrets.

Among the correspondence recently
found on board Of captured rebel YES.
eel was letter from prominent citi.
zen Of Southern State to his wifs, who
is sojourning at distance from home.
The writer of the letter had just return
cd from a visit of week or two at Rich
mond, and was writing his wife what he
saw there. The bitterness with which
he condemns the rebellion and bewails
the misery and desolation of his once
happy and prosperous section of tho
Union is poured out with all the fervor
of sincerity, and we doubt not that he
expresses the feelings and hopes oi
thousands Of others who, like him, dare
not speak openly. The letter is da-
ted the Both uItimo. lie says:
"This accursed attempt of one sec
ton to set up an independent govern.
ment must, sooner or later, fail and
fail iynominiously. l am bound in du
ty to share in the burdens, and to de
what l may to alleviate the suffering'
which the attempt has brought upon
those among whom I was born, but
will take no officee in 1.-THE highest
would be no inducement-noI will
share in the terrible responsibility
No words can depict thc horrors which
I witnessed both at Richmond and upor
my journey there and back. The
deaths then occurring at Richmond
were fully equal to one hundred anC
6fty a day. More than seventeen
ttous1nd sick and wounded are now in
The Richmond hospitals. The receu
seeming success of our arms will only
serve to accelerate the downfall Of our
short lived Confederacy."
