The National Inteitigeucor has a letter from
Tennessee which thus speaks of the suffering
endured by the loyal people in the eastern
part Of that State
Very sad has been the lot of these devoted men in
East Tennessee. Their oppressous have been bit

A SUDDEN TURN.-The Washington cor
respondent Of the New Hampshire Statesman
seems to have Joined in the outcry against
Gen. Mcclellan when it was found that Ma
nassas was evacuated by the rebels;
"Had General Mcclellan moved upon Manassas a
week earlier, would have bagged every thing. This
the frat disparaging suggestion that have utter
ed against the leadership Of the Army Of the Potomac.
II is now clear as daylight everybody that the manage
ment Of this whole thing has turned wTetched
pendous failure. General Mcclellan is, however, in the

bound quesonaby, very soon 70 sweep ne rebel az
my in rout and dismay from the soil II Virginia, and
will continue TO hope for hn, by his igor, his vaor
aud his skill in the future, TO wipe away the reproach
that nov covers him..
This extract is from letter published on
the outside of the Statesman but before the
inside is printed the same correspondent takes
a different view Of matters, and writes as fol-
lows:
You have read General McClellans recent address
10 the Of his command. Il is true battleshout,
that has echo from the heat Of all his soldiers, in
love and confidence he stands That address, let
also say, something. Stick pin there aud I've

The late governor of Tennessee, the Hon.
Neil s. Brown, who earnestly assisted secession
when 1t was first threatened, has been fired by
sense of duty to himself to denounce 1t as a
dead failure, and to hold up the measures
which have been resorted to to maintain it as
inhuman and disgraceful. A single extract
from his speech at Columbus, Tennessee, on
the I'd inst, will suffice:
l want this war stopped! Whose heart has
not dropped blood who has son in the South
ern army? l know something of that unspeak-
able sorrow. Think of this, you who stay at
home and bluster about whipping Yankees and
establishing Southern Confederacy. Let us
stop this wanton, hopeless war. l would saw
this now, even though had been in the habit
of eating fire five times day. 1t is running
us. The rebels are burning up the cotton.
Why, in the name of reason, why? Don't it
impoverish the people and the government? /?
Don't 1t kill their credit and their banks i?
Don't it ruin our hopes abroad? Then this
conscription law. l will not swallow il until
swallow aloes, gall and wormwood. 1t is n
base fraud upon those brave bows who had en-
listed for year, and who were packing mn
their dear mementoes of home in their knap-
sacks when this UNANIMOUSLY tyrannical law
came to arrest them on the eve oftheir depart
ure and drive them back, in violation Of all
faith, into the hardships and sufferngs of a sol
diers life.

In the resolves passed by the caucus of 10y
al Democrats in Westbrook, convened to select
delegates to the Bangor (People's) Convention,
we notice the following:
Resoired, That we in favor of vigorous prose-
cufion OF the not to subju the seeded States
out 10 restore them back to the Union.
1t is no part of our business to suggest the
language in which other people shall express
their opinions, nor would we be understood as
finding the slightest fault with our westbrook
neighbors; still IL seems to us that their dis
tincticns are too fine to be appreciated by or
dnary minds. The truth is, the "seceded
States are as determinedly at war with the
Federal government as was Mexico in 1S46-7
Their success would be the subjugation of the
Federal Union inasmuch as it would be the
disintegration of that Union, and the subver-
sion of the Constitution. To talk of restoring
them back to the Union without first subjuga-
ting their rebellious spirit is simply afallacy.-
If they are restored, it will be by subjugation
and by nothing else, and it is an indignity to
common sense to talk of restoring them by
any other process. The people cannot be de-
ceived by such distinctions where there is
really no difference. The rebellion must be
crushed out. The events of the last fifteen
months show this, and that tender-footed
measures, and parleying policy with the
rebel leaders is the worst of cruelty, not only
to our own loyal men, but to the really loyal
the tale of horrors related by the patriot
Brownlow, we have very little patience for
this thread-bare nonsense about dealing gently
with the actors in such barbarities. We have
borne and forborne, until forbearance has long
since ceased to be a virtue; and now If there
is vigor and nerve and muscle enough in the
country, not paralyzed by rebel sympathy, to
enforce obedience to law, to put down the infer
nal spirit of rebellion, and to subdue the seced-
ed States to the condition of the loyal States,
the peopte-the only sovereigns in this coun-
try-demdnd that It should be exercised, and
IL ,ciu be exercised If no other means will
answer, rather than allow rebellion to tri-
umph, we would see the soil Of every seeded
State bleached with the bones of its traitorous
population, and show no more mercy to them
in their rebellion than they were disposed to
show to the Indians Of Florida, when they
hunted them to determination with Cuba
blood-hounds. And we are not alone in this
feeling, nor are those who cherish it confined
to the free States. The venerable Rev. DIR.
Breckinridge--uncle to an unworthy nephew
lin late speech in Cincinnati, said that
rather than the rebellion should be allowed to
succeed, II were better to reduce the country
to the condition in which the Pilgrims at Ply
mouth found it-that the work Of colonization,
progress and civilization might be commenced
de moro. To such sentiment millions of
loyal hearts win give their ready affirmative
response.

The soldiers of New England being in the
armies on the Atlantic coast, our attention has
been chiefly directed TO the labors of the Sani-
tary Commission at Washington, but the report
of the Western Commission shows that the
West as well as the East has nobly responded
to the calls of our suffering soldiers. From
the report made Of their doings up to May 1st,
we make the following extracts:
There are fifteen military hospitals in SER
vice in aud about st. Louis, affording accom-
modations for $3.50 patients, and a reserve is
constantly maintained in readiness by the Com
mission Of $50 beds in addition, making a
total of 6,000 The number of patients admit
ted TO date is 19. .467, Of whom l 400 have died:
1917 have been furloughed, discharged or
returned to their regiments, and 1850 remain.
There have been l62 additional deaths on
floating hospitals in transit, at McDowelrs
military prison, the st. Louis Arsenal, and at
private houses.
The Commission has fitted four Floating
Hospitals, regularly employed for the trans
portation of the sick and wounded in the De-
partment Of the Mississippi. These boats are
fully provided with experienced surgeons, as
sistant surgeons, apothecaries, stewards dress
ers, and male and female nurses. They have
every convenience that experience can sug-
gest and are supplied with large reserves Of
hospital clothing, lint, bandages, delicacies,
ruit, &c, that they may be prepared to furnish
temporary TRANSPORTS or field bosn;taIs when
ever and wherever needed.

How TO GROW BEAUTIFUL. Persons NAV
outgrow disease and become healthy by prop
er attention to the laws of their physical con-
stitution. By moderate and daily exercise
men may become active and strong in limb
and muscle. But to grow beautiful, how?
Age tiims the lustre Of the eye, and pales the
roses on beautys cheek; while crowfeet, and
burrows, and wrinkles, and lost teeth, and gray
hairs, and bald head, and tottering limbs, and
limping, most sadly mar the human form
divine. But dim as the eye is, as pallid and
sunken as may be the face of beauty, and frail
and feeble that once strong, erect, and manly
body, the immortal soul, Just fledging its wings
for its home in Heaven may look out through
those faded windows as beautiful as the dew
drop of a summers morning, as melting as the
tears that glisten in affections eye-by grow
ing kindly, by cultivating sympathy with all
human kind, by cherishing forbearance towards
the iollies and foibles of our race, and feeding,
pay by day, on that love to God and man,
which lifts us from the brute, and makes us
akin to angels.

ARREST OF THE Masters MATE OF THE
PRIvATEER SUMTER.--In consequence of in
formation received by the U. S. authorities in
this city that one Smith, late masters mate on
board the rebel privateer Sumter, was a pas
senger in the brig Harriet, from Surinam, bound
for this port, a watch was kept for the appear
ance of that vessel in our harbor Yesterday
afternoon she was signaled, and officer w. X.
Jones of the u. s. Marshars Office at once pro-
ceeded in one Of the Custom House boats along
side the brig as she was coming up the harbor
Masters Mate Smith, being anxions to get on
shore among Union-loving people, asked and
obtained the privilege of coming ashore In the
Custom House boat He stepped on board ap-
parently with light heart and free and easy
air, but the moment after his feet touched Mas
sachusetts soil, officer Jones touched him on
the shoulder, and informed him that he was not
at liberty to go where he pleased, but must go
with him. This was the first intimation that
the. rebel had that he was in the hands of
Union officer of the law, but there was no al
tentative, and Masters Mate Smith, whose true
name is James Lyons, was escorted to jail,
where he was locked up to await examination.

No MORE WOODEN WALLs.-So exclaims
the London Times in relation to the wooden
ships that have for SO many years proved the
bulwark of England, and of which Campbell
sang so finely and with such eminent satisfac-
ton to all parties concerned. Iron has come
in--wood has gone out. We had been think
ing this was an age of brass; but we are mis-
taken. Even brass itself-we rejoice to chron-
icle so welcome facts giving way to IRON
Wood is nowhere. Wood is laughed at by the
very boys in the street. We should not be
much surprised if wood would finally be dis
pensed with altogether, except perhaps orna-
mentally, as in the case of trees before the
door, and occasional zig-zag fences. But even
in the iron dodge, England is not quite up"
to it. They plated big ship, and named her
the Warrior, but now they think she would do
about as effective fighting as a three weeks
lambkin on the hillside. first rate iron ram
is capable of knocking all the Warriors that
may be constructed higher than a kite and
somewhat lower. And as for the resisting
power of their iron plating, it never can begin
to Withstand the smashing work that can be
easily made by modern projectiles from mod
ern cannon. So that cake has turned into
dough for our British cousins. The fact is,
though they pretended to laugh over the Sun
day work at Bull Run, they are doing any
thing but laugh over the Sunday sport be-
tween those iron ducks in the water-the
Monitor and Merrimac. This war win prove
as great revolution for them as il has for u.s.
