Parson Browniow.

The Knoxville Register Of the lst inst
expresses the opinion that Brownlow's
release was great blunder, and gives the
following reasons:
In brief, Brownlow has preached at
every church and schoolhouse, made
stump speeches at every cross road. knows
every man, woman and child, and their
fathers and grandfathers before them, in
East Tennessee. AS Methodist circuit
preacher, a temperance orator, aud the
editor Of nncwspapef, he has been equal
ly successful in cur division OF the State.
Let him but once reach the confines
of Kentucky, with his knowledge Of the
geography and the population Of East
Tennessee, and our section will soon feel
the effect Of his hard blows. From among
his own old partisan and religious scctari-
IN parasites. he will find men who will
obey him with tho fanatical alacrity Of
those who followed Peter the Hermit in
the frst crusade, Werepeat again, lot US
not underrate Brownlow.''

The Vice President ordered the CALLER

was to be arraigned for treason and de-
signing war on the country, he would

there was to be regular party organiza

presented, he would have been better pre-.
pared. IF SANDER could have driven him
away he would be where the Senator from

luminous sheet-the Cincinnati Enquirer
with being brigadier ia the rebel ar

ing for the rebel army II Kentucky, and
that he had written the letter read to-day.
lie paid no attention to these until old
friends wrote. He then wrote the other
letter which was more offensive than the
former. Mr. Bright then entered into an
explanation Of the cause of writing the
letter to JEFF. Davis, introducing Thomas
3. Lincoln. He Bright had no recol-
lection Of this letter, but he must have
written it. lie had also given Mr.. Lin.
coin letter to Capt. Franklin and would
read both to show that they were similal
in language. When he addressed the let
ter to Davis by his title he was only fol
lowing the example of Senators in this
body at this time.
