PARsON BROWNLOw's BOOK.

We have received from Applegate & Co.,
Of Cincinnati, q copy Of this truly great
work. 1t should be in the family of every
loyalist in the country. 1t exhibits in the
Parsons own pain, unvarnished style, the
damnable schemes of the rebels to subvert
our Government, aud the ioiquities perpe.
trated by the Hell.born, Hell-reared
monsters" upon those who loved their
Country. The book contains several illus
trations of the penalties inflicted upon
Union men, of the heart-rending scenes
incident to the separation of families, and a
finely engraved steel portrait Of the author.
1t is excellently gotten up, aud interest
ingly written. a perusal of the work will
make one blush for humanity. 1t is dedi-
Gated "To every honest patriot citizen, and
unconditional Union man, who loves 10y
atty and despises Rebellion, whether per-
petrated North or South, under one pretense
or another, for the sake of Office, power,
fame, money, or malicious resentment: To
every intelligent reading man, who, to
whatever party he may belong, is unwilling
to see his Government ovcrthrown by wick
ed and designing men, and who has resolved
to live and die beneath the folds of the
Star-Spangled Banner: To my companions
in the Knoxville Jail, who, with me, swore
upon the altar Of our country that, despite
the gallows and the prison, they would ad
here to the Flag Of the Federal Union, and
who look to the mild umpirage Of the Union
as the only shield of nationality"

thority of Congress, at an estimated cost of
sixty millions Of dollars. The work upon
the Federal Capitol is being pushed on
With renewed energy, and the rapid com.
plesiou of that splendid pile may Be readily
foreseen. A great artist is now delineating
upon one of the panels near the hall of the
House of Representatives, at an expense of
S25, 900, of the westward march Of free
men and free institutions. Enormous navy
yards are in course of construction the
national telegraph has been finished, 50 that
the President in his mansion may daily
talk to his agents on the Pacific coast,
thousands of miles away. These are the
symptoms and signs of great aud original
future, and whatever may be said BY those
who regard them with doubt and fear, and
scatter predictions of bankrupt and ruined
country, they are the evidences of the
power and courage and determination of a
free people who, in their struggle for self
preservation, and in their conflict with the
enemies of civil and religious liberty, place
all their hopes and interests at the disposi-
ton of the constitutionally elected Federal
authorities. They are admonitions to other
nations that if We are not permitted BY
them to punish the aggressions Of domestic
traitors in our own way and With our own
means, we arc resolved to be strong enough
to resist those Who may attempt to intervene
to our disadvantage. The price that must
be paid for the blessings that We have
enjoyed, and the risks that must be encoun-
tered that we may continue to enjoy these
blessings, are undoubtedly great; but We
must choose between the alternative Of this
new sacrifice, and that Of yielding before .

The "Mn. Partington of the Senate.

Senator Harlan, of Iowa, has justly
entitled himself, in the recent debate on
the Pacific r. R. Bill, to the soubriquet of
the "Mrs. Partiugton of the Senate.
One is reminded, BY his elucidation of this
great national question, of the poDpous
variations Of some school boy, of his tre-
mendous acquisitions of knowledge of the
world, on his FIRST exploration outside of his
native town. In man who has lived in
the West, and occupied positions of prom
inence so long as Mr.. Harlan, this ridiculous
exhibition of utter ignorance of the topo-
graphy of a neighboriug territory, is most
bumiliating to an intelligent people, as are
the people of Iowa.
Mr.. Harlan insists that the Platte Valley,
with its five hundred miles of arid sand
bank, upon which grows not stick of tim
Der of the bigpess of mans lcg--upon
which there has never yet been found a
perch of stone or q bushel of coal, is as
good or superior to the Republican, Solo
mon or Smoky Hill Valleys as a railroad
route. He thinks the admitted scarcity Of
timber at points on that river may be
supplied from the large bodies of pine
timber on the Smoky Hills" and cedar
from the " little valleys putting into the
Platte"
These things arc very amusing in man
who stands as the representative of great
State, and is supposed to embody at least a
fair share of its intelligence and enterprise,
but really they are very sggravating also.
That the claims Of valley which possesses
in degree superior to all others, all the
elements for an economical and useful rail-
way route, AS does the Smoky Hill, should
be jecpardized and discarded by dumb heads
who can see nothing good in projects that
are not squared to their own latitudinal
locations, is most unfortunate. 1t ceases
to be amusing, and becomes a national
calamity. 1t involves the expenditure of
millions upon millions for the construction
of great and needed improvement through
country unsusceptible of cultivation, or
of habitation, except by the wild buffalo.
and the equally wild and british Indian,
while another valley, two hundred miles to
the south Of it, and pointing directly to the
heart of the Republic supplied with an
abundance of every requisite material, even
to the iron for the rails, and already peo-
pied over half way to the mountains. is
contemptuously cast aside with the leeriug
smirk which only ignorance can give, OF
stupidity indulge.-T1peka Record.

By Last Nights Mail.

Great excitement exists at Nashville.
An attack by the rebels is expected every
hour. Our force is scarcely large enough
to hold against them, but will give the best
fight possible, and if compelled to yield will
shell the city. The railroad track has been
torn up, and cannonading has been heard
repeatedly.
Rebel prisoners from Richmond speak
hopefully Of foreign Intervention, and claim
to have sent the full particulars Of the late
battles to Europe.
The Fredericksburg correspondence of the
Herald says Mayor Slaughter returned from
Richmond, completely disgusted with affairs
at the rebel headquarters. He was sent by
the citizens to procure the release of Gen.
Reynolds, but to his great disappointment
be was cody Informed that the General
could not be released nor seen, and that the
Secretary Of War was equally invisible.
After vainly endeavoring to obtain an inter-
view with the Secretary, Mayor Slaughter
6led his petition, and returned.
General Mccall is reported 10 good
health, and situated as comfortably as pos
sible under the circumstances.
The Richmond papers are received every
other day within thirty hours oftheir issue,
and there is not the least doubt but the
rebels have free and uninte rrupted commu.
nication with parties within our lines.
Deserters come in occasionally Who report
that the authorities in Richmond have tax
en- possession of almost every house for
hospital purposes and that great fear j.
manifested of an epidemic, SO foul is the
atmosphere throughout the whole city.
From Washington We learn that it seems
that while the Border men, With few
exceptions, will not indorse the Presidents
emancipation scheme, they will ncverthe-
less propose its respectful consideration by
their States.
A band of armed rebels made raid upon
the town of Memphis in Northern Missouri,
capturing the town aud carrying of many
Union citizens.

Another correspondent learns that on the
arrival Of the President at Harrison's Land.
ing, General Mcclellan, With several other
military gentleman, visited him on board,
after which the President and the General
held private conference for about half an
hour. They then proceeded in an ambu.
lance to General Summers hea6quarters,'
when they took horses and visited entrench-
ments. The President briefly addressed
the soldiers. He said he had come to see
for himself, and to know the situation Of
affairs, and that he should 90 hack satisfied.
1t was said they had been whipped. It was
not so, and never would be. He knew the
men he saw around him would prove equal
to the task before them, and never give up
without going into Richmond. He had
been unable to sleep for anxiety, but after
what he had seen and heard he should 60
go back to Washington satisfied that
all was right with the army of the
Potomac. He declared his confidence in
the army and its commander, in all the
men and all the officers, who were all alike
deserving the confidence of the country.
The party continued their ride along the
lines, and at Q o'clock in the evening re.
turned to headquarters, after having been
in the saddle seven hours.

THE POSITION OF AFFAIRS.

From the army of the Potomac the new:
become more cheering every day. The few
days lull has given US an opportunity to see
the position of affairs at Richmond. We
are able now to see that instead of any
cause for the dispirit at first shown by our
people, great cause for rejoicing. 1t ap-
pears that the rebels planned an attack on
Mcclellan, which they contemplated would
result in his cap;tulation. This they at
tempted to carry out, for which purpose
they recalled jackson from the Shenan-
doah, and uniting with johnson, make q
sudden and general attack on our forces.
But they hit vide their mark. Our leader
was equal to the occasion. Goaded on by
want Of provisions themselves, and de-
sire to cut of McClellan's supplies, the
rebels staked their all upon the success Of
this scheme, and their failure has done
much towards Fastening the glorious hour
when our eonquering army shall enter the
portals Of the rebel capital ana there raise
to the sepbyrs Of heaven the Flag Of the
Free. Mcclellan now holds position ou
the james River, with good, passablc, dry
road leading into the city. Burnside, With
his command, is probably with him BY thi.
time, which, with other reinforcemeuts
reaching him, will soon justify an assault,
and speedy victory.
Writers eoguizant Of such matters, say
that Mcclellan, in thus moving his army in
the face Of inevitable defeat, has accom-
plished one Of the most brilliant and extra
ordinary movements which history reoorls.
Every body speaks in the most enthusiastic
admiration of the man. The New York
Tribune, which has been his bitterest re-
viler, publishes letter from one of is
correspondent, which speaks in praise of
his operations. The Duke de Chartress,

Present Signs of the Future Greatness and Powe
Of the Republic.

VI Iuo SopuUACs
The struggle for the maintenance of the
Government of the United States has al.
ready effected wonderful revolution 10 the
opinions and habitudes of the American
people. Old parties and old prcjudices
have been thrown into the one consuming
crater of the war. Fourteen months ago
an army of seventy five thousand men was
regarded with mingled wonder and appre.
hen.ion. Now We contemplate the ap-
preaching probability of one million of
troops Oh the side of the Republic with
comparative complacency and pride. Shortly
after the election of Mr.. Lincoln, that
incarnate traitor, Howell Cobb, while at
tempting to sell the bonds Of the Govern
ment, virtually proclaimed that it was
destroyed, and that these securities we're
worthless. Then we had to borrow money
at twelve per cent. per snnum to pay our
ordinary expenses. When Mr.. Lincoln
came into the Presidency our twenty year
bonds were worth but eighty -four cents on
the dollar. In this crisis the Administrs-
ton appealed to the banks and the people,
and another revolution was the consequence.
Money was offered without stint aud with
out limit, and now with prospective debt
of nearly one thousand millions Of dollars,
and with possible expenditure at the rate
of two millions daily, there is neither
despair in the popular keart nor hex Of
confidence in our public servants. The
army bill alone, which passed the Senate
yesterday, contained an appropriation of
Eve hundred and thirty millions of dollars.
Our forces in the field, and our ships upon
the waters, startling as they seem even to
those who are familiar with the mighty
and squadrons of military na-
tons, are in course of rapid increase, and
have in fact rcvolutionised tho whole system
Of offensive and defensive war. Nor do
these extraordinary manifestations arrest
the progress Of private and public enter
prise. In this respect yetmore marvellous
revolution has taken place. The mechanic
arts flourish spsce. Our great cities, not
their enormous contributions
Of men and money to the public service,
resound with the hum Of business in Ill its
various avocations, and exhibit degree Of
unparalleled in history. A
railroad, traversiDg domain greater than
,ne of the mis ishtiest empires in the old
world, has been projected under the %.

SUPREME COURT.

The Topeka Tribune of The 18th inst,
says:
The Supreme Court met on Thursday
morning. Chief Justice Ewing, Associate
Bailey are here. Judge Kingman had not
arrived up to noon yesterday, There are
large number of cases on the Docket which
will probably occupy the Court from four
to six weeks.
Judge Ewing has just returned from the
Federal Capital, where be has been for
some time attending to the railroad interests
Of our State, which are now in . prosper

Kingman is sick.

The petitions of the Attorney General
set forth the facts of the Impeachment Of

that they have disregarded said judgment,
and that they still continue, unlawfuliy, to

Secretary Of State; and pFays the Court
