A son Of Parson BBowNLow arrived at
Cincinnati on Saturday, having left Bar
louisville on Wednesday. His brother
is LieutenantC Colonel in the 9th Tenncs-
see regiment, and young BRowNLow had
been to visit him and the troops gener-
ally, He reported the men in fine spirits,
and while with the troops the announce
ment was made that the army was about
to march, and in an hour the hospitals
were nearly empty. The Times says:
Mr.. Brownlow saw a man who left
Knoxville a week ago yesterday, who
told him that recently the secession prop
crty holders of East Tennessee, who had
not gone too far to hope for pardon, had
been eSerting themselves to prevent
guerrilla warfare, and many of them de-
clarcd themselves willing to take the
oath of allegiance. So much for the
wholesome operations of fear upon the
unconquerable chivalry.
He thinks great difficulty will be ex-
perionced in keeping the Tennessee
troops from shooting down large num-
Der Of the leaders in the late raids upon
Union men, as scarcely a soldier from
that section in the national army but has
many great wrongs to ayenge
There are, at present, about 5000 rebel
troops in East Tennessee, 1900 of whom
were at Knoxville, the remainder being
at Cumberland Gap The latter place
however, has since been evacuated, but
where the troops have gone no one in
the Union army knows. 1t is the opin-
ion of Mr.. Brownlow that Knoxville
will be occupied by our forces in few
days.
The notorious robber-chief, Morgan,
was stopping at the Lamar House, Knox
vile, on Friday week The report that
he has been captured is without foun-
da'ion,
A skirmish occurred on Wednesday
last at Wilson's Gap, in which our forces
utterly routed those of the enemy.

JEFF Davis Adiutant General publishes
a general order directing the drafting Of
every male white or mulatto in the South
capable of bearing arms, whether they
have substitutes or not.
II will be found in few months that
the rebel Government will force multi
tudcs Of slaves to fight loyal white sol
dicrs. The negroes soon will make just
as formidable soldiers as many already
in the rebel ranks, and will fight with
about as much zeal as thousands Of The
white conscripts for the flag Of JEFF.
DAVIS. By promises of freedom and re-
wards slaves can be made formidable
agents in poisoning and assassinatng
our troops. There is nothing in the reb-
el code Of honor and morality to prevent
the employment Of half savage negroes
for these purposes. Nor will it be diff
cult TO induce the negroes to enter on this
work Our officers in many places have
made themselves particularly active as
stare caichers for outrageous rebels and
masters who should have been kicked
out of camp for their insulting treason
have walked of in triumph with fugi.
tive which some half-wited Colonel hal
restored to him with bows, apologies anC
! grimaces. No rebel should ever be sui.
fered to rotake fugitive slave, under
any circumstances. 1t is The height o
folly TO suffer it, 1t is furnishing then
with sticks TO break our own heads
We have never yet known one instanc,
where a rebel was made Union MAJ
by having his fugitive restored, but W,
do know of several cases where the rebel
after regaining his slave, became NOR
cxacting, more insolent and more delian
than ever. Kind treatment only in
creases their presumption. Let us hav
no more of it. We cannot afford l.
please traitors at the expense of the Re
public.

Instead Of exhorting to obey law and or
der, they clamor for mob violence and
the overthrow of government inspired
by God. Instead Of following the spirit
Of Jesus they follow shouting for the
Moloc Of war.
This is not the FIRST event Of the kind
in history. Eighteen hundred years
ago, the Prince Of Peace appeared in the
world He went about doing good, hunt
ing up the mean and debased, and~ele-
waiting them to dignity and worth. He
was a great teacher-an iiluminator Of
the world. lie was warning against
falsehood and passion; his arms were
love and truth. The spirit Of love and
truth was his sword. Let us recount an
incident in his history.
The chief Priests, Elders and Phari-
sees took counsel 70 put JESUS to death
They bJ1bed JUDAS to betray him; they
sought witnesses, false witnesses, against
him; they accused him, they moved the
people to cry out for the release Of BAR
ABAs; they cried out, "crucify HIM
they cried out more fiercely, "crucify
him. they led JESUS away and cruel
fed him. PLATE could find no fault in
him, but delivered him over. So JAMES
BUCHANAN could find no fault in the
good old Union, but yielded TO their
cries, and delivered the Government to
the enemies of truth. These men of old
crucilied their Savior and laid him away
not dreaming that resurrection would
take place which would consign to OBJ
liyion the benighted ministers, and in
troduce the reign Of new and more
glorious civilization.
At Fort Sumptcr and Manassas the
government Of our fathers, the very organ
of Heaven, was vainly supposed buried
but from the very grave, dug by impiou'
hands, the nation arose in glory, The
Queen of the world and the child Of tn,
skies" The vain, deluded men who
have sought again to cruelty and bury
truth, behold its spirit creaiing and &c,
mcntiDg a nation and establishing In,
throne of justice and love instead of thu
reign Of passion. Civilization has tri
umphed over barbarism. Washington
over Stephens.
There are some bright sides to the re,
bellion, which we will show in a subse-
quent article.

The Richmond Enquirer Of the 3Oth
ult., reads the people of that city the
following lecture on their treatment Of
common soldiers
Lol THE Pooh SoLDIEa.--It is humil-
iating TO hear the terms OF reproach that
are daily cast upon the noble, but, I'M
happily, ill-clad defenders of our inde-
pendence-men who have worn out their
physical strength in the experience Of
the camp and field, relinquished the lux
uries Of home, and offered themselves a
sacrifice if need be, TO their country.
"Nothing but a soldier" is a remark
which is continually heard, and its re-
currence has established il as an impli-
cation Of contemptibility, so harsh, so
unjust, that even those who make use of
it, if they are endowed with com.
monest sensibilities of humanity, must
feel a conscious sting at its every ut
terance. We see them plodding through
the city, in tattered clothing, foot-so-e
and sick, looking fol- some hospitable
spot where they may lay their heads,
rebutled, perhaps insulted, when they
presume to ohstruct the way Of some
dainty possessor Of an exemption GER
tiiicate, or rest their worn-out limbs up
on the marble steps of some luxurious
Shylock. The gilded uniform Of a
Yankee office holder, with no more soul
for the Southern cause than can be found
| in the hearts of those detestable extor-
TONERS, of the same pretentious breed
TO be found in our midst, is a passport
free TO every privilege, itself a garb OF
gentility that perhaps the wearer never
| knew and could not tell what part
speech gentility belongs to.

The people of Louisiana must not mis-
take a desire TO deal kindly with men
laboring under one of the grossest delu-
sions known to modern history, and TO
bring gently back TO the blessings of the
Union and good government people re-
solved apparently upon their own ruin
for weakness or timidity. Recognizing
this territory and this people as part Of
its own property, in jeopardy, the gov
ernment wishes to snatch them from the
danger with as little damage to them as
possible; aud being imbued with an or
binary amount of humanity il would i'm
pose rs little suffering as possible during
the operation. But the country will be
rescued though the property be destroyed;
the country will be saved at any expense
of suffering. There should be no mis-
take about this no doubts, no hopes, no
fears. Let this once be thoroughly I'M
derstoOd and fully accepted, and a world
of personal and public suffering may be
spared The hand now clothed in velvet,
while soothing to good behavior the fret
full child may be found armed with iron,
should the child proceed to kick. 1t will
be found TO be so armed Let this peO-
pie, disrcgarding capitulation and prom
Uses of good behavior, and heretofore
gentle treatment proceed to organize
guerrilla bands, to annoy where they
cannot hope 10 conquer, TO murder where
they cannot fairly fight at Baton Rouge
or elsewhere, and the stern and relentless
purposes of war will be surely brought
TO bear upon them. Justice demands it,
the cause demands it, and the blood Of
those who might fall would demand it,,
not in vain. Again we say, let there be
no mistake about this. Let every man,
woman and child ponder upon this, and
let their acts in this regard give proof
that they have proGted by the caution.
The above excellent words we com
mend to the Nashville public. All should
understand that the hand Of the Gov
eminent "now clothed in velvet, may be
found armed with iron" if the mercy Of
the Government should be mistaken for
weakness and fear. If any one be de-
tcrmincd to continue rebel we advise
him TO Join the rebel army Immediately,
and not stay here in the way of loyal
men. We are determined TO hold the
land as the heritage Of liberty. This
beautiful State shall never again be given
up TO rebel murdcrcrs and robbers, We
will hold itat the cost of every rebel life
in tiff need be. The American Republic
takes no step backward. Onward is tho

OUR LOYAL INvENToRs.-It has afford
ed us the greatest pleasure to notice the
patriotism and loyalty to the Government
Of the great body Of our inventors. Thou
sands of them are serving in the army
and navy, rs soldiers, seamen, engineers,
artisans and mechanics, and their labOrs
have been of great benefit TO both branch
es Of the public service. As our army adj
vances and lihnratos thora from thv s, asp
Of tyranny and oppression, this class Of
our fellow citizens in the rebellious States
prove their devotion TO the old flag
Already we have letters from our former
patrons in New Orleans, and from por-
tiOns Of Tennessee aud Virginia, which
give unmistable evidence of their patient
devotion to their Government and cOun-
try. This is very gratifying to us; il
bears out our former impression that no
more loyal class of citizens could be
found than our inventors Scientific liner
,cIH
Cannot a good reason be assigned for
this fact? Is it not because the active,
fertile and industrious intellect Of the
nation, it's progressive and creative ele-
ment has a contempt for the stupid and
dreary barrenness Of cotton arislocracy,
and the privileged classes Of a Southern
Confederacy, whose chief cornerstone
is slavery? These inventors are the
true aristocrats Che e1ceHepO Of America,
and hold the patent of their nobility from
Heaven. One industrious mechanic, art
isau, or engineer is worth a whole Con-
federacy Of marrow minded, conceited
and ignorant cotton lords as the London
Times in a contemptuous mood lately call

UnIoni.m In smIlh Countr.

We had the pleasure Of meeting with
= distinguished citizen of Smith County
yesterday. He informed us that two fine
Union meetings were held in this county,
and one in DeKalb, on Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday of last week. They were
very largely attended by the substantial
citizens Of the county. Speeches Of plain,
outspoken, feryid, unconditional Union
ism were made by Hon. w. B. STOKES,
DR.. GoRDos, and Rev. Mr.. BRowN, which
were cordially applaudcd by most of the
people, and listened to with the most Sc
rious interest by the rest Such gather
ings have never been known before in
that region. The hearts of the masses
seemed fully warmed up for the restora-
ton Of the Federal Union. Col STOKES
addressed the rebels very pointedly on
the guerilla warfare. lie told them to
beware, for they would find it an instru-
ment of self destruction. "SuppOse you
mount your marauders," said he, "the
Government can raise five horses and five
men more easily than you can raise one,
and when you destroy one Union mans
property, they can destroy five rebels
When you collect your desperadoes for a
Plundering expedition, the Government
can turn loose on you that terrible Dutch
Cavalry of whom you have heard so
much, and they will be instructed not to
leave grease spot of you. They can
extermnate the last man of you before
you get through with this cruel and
dastardly mode Of warfare. It is an
engine of mischief, which will surely and
speedily turn to plague the inventor.
Beware, then, how you touch it, If you
begin this wholesale system Of robbery
and murder, we will draw the sword, nor
shall it rest until the last one of them
shall have paid the just penalty Of his
folly and crime We are loyal to the
Federal Government, and are under It's
protection, and do not delude yourselves
that you can assail us without perishing
before terrible and unsparing vengeance
We have the po,Oer as well as the right on
c,ar-siie-"-.Thase. ri ain admonitinns an
warnings have had good effect, for Col
STOKES noighbors know that although
pre-eminently peaceable, he is not the
man to brook wanton outrage. We
learned also that Squire NATHAN WARD
highly respectable citizen and Repre-
sentative of Smith county in the last
Legislature, came forward at the meeting
at New Middleton, and manfuly re-
nounced the wicked rebellion, yolunta
rily, and took the oath of allegiance
The work of reformation is going on
steadily among the warm hearted and
honest people Of the country, who never
have been at heart for the rebellion, but
have been deceived into it by the false
hood Of the secession politicians, preach
ers and newspapers, and in many in
stances were driven into it by the bayo-
nets Of those rullians JEFF. DAVIS and
IsHAN G. HARRIS.

GENEROUS AND NoDLE--A few nights
ago, one of the ladies Of our city, a pas
senger on the Metropolis, while coming
from New York with some sick and
wounded prisoners, seeing that they were
not cared for as her generous nature
would dictate, and learning from them
that the want Of the inner man was the
strongest, called the steward of the boat
to her, and said "Can these men have
supper ?' "No, marin, there has been
no provision made of that kind by the
Government, and we cannot provide these
unless we provide all" "Can you get
them suppers if l will pay for it p
Yes" Every well, do So The sup
per was accordingly got, with all the

The milk and-water policy Of many
Of the Federal officers is costing the ma
- ton millions Of money and thousands OF
precious lives. Leniency TO leading rob
els is inhumanity and prodigality in the

The result will inevitably be that the
