The Bridge Burning in Tennessee.

Correspondence Of the Louisville Journal.
Nashville, March 20.-Since his arrival,
Parson Brownlow has related toa mum
Der of persons the history OF the Union
uprising in East Tennessee In November
last as developed before the rebel court
martial for the trial of the bridge. burn
ers at Knoxville. The details OF the or
ganization Of the loyal conspiracy having
never reached the Northern public, and
being of almost romantic interest, deem
it well to subjoin the substance OF what
has been stated by the Parson upon the
subject.
1t appears that Chaplain Carter and
capt. Fry, of one of the Tennessee regi-
ments in the latter part of October made
their way in disguise and over hidden
paths to the house Of prominent loyal
lists within eight miles of Knoxville
Here they convened about one hundred
| trustworthy and devoted men, to whom
they represented that Federal division
was about forcing its way into the eastern
district, and that, In order TO ibsure the
success OF the contemplated expedition,

Lincoln gunboats above Island No. To-
VI course they will sink them or run
them far up the Mississippi or Ohio at

to go to the mouths of the Tennessee and

A Singular Prophesy,

The following circumstance recently CO.
CURED at Pensacola, and its truth is,
vouched for by reliable officer of the ar
my: ,....
A soldier in the Confederate senvioe
fell into a long and profound sleep, from
which his comrades vainly essayed to.
arouse him. At last he woke up himself.
He then stated that he should die the
next afternoon at four o'clock, for it was
so revealed to him in his dream. He.
said in the last week of the month of
April would be fought the greatest and
bloodiest battle of modern times, and that
early in May peace would break upon
the land more suddenly and unexpected
ly than the war had done in the Begin
ming. The first part of the prophetic
dream has been realized, for the soldier
died the next day at four O'Clock. Will
the rest be in April and May! Let be-
levers of dreams wait and see.-Mobils

The New Campaign in Missouri

The Memphis Argus thinks that the
immediate concentration upon the west
bank of the Mississippi, of a large body
of troops, composed of the flower Of Ar.
kansas, Missouri, Louisiana, and Texas,
and led by such chieftains as Price and
Van Dorm, will avert the danger to
Memphis from the Mississippi river for
the remainder Of the season, force Gen.
Pope out of Point Pleasant and Madrid,
and perhaps restore matters on the Mis-
sissippi to the condition they were in
three months ago. AZ

Andy Johnson's Secretary.

As our readers are aware, Andy John
son has been appointed by Mr.. Lincoln,
his Military Governor of Tennessee. Mr..
Lincoln has also appointed Mr.. E. II.
East, Of this State, Secretary to John
son.
Verify, war as well as politics, makes
strange bed-fellows. johnson and East
were not always the best of friends. In
the year 1855, East wrote to former col
lege roommate, now in official position
in this city, a letter, in which he said:
81 have this day laid my hand on the
Bible and sworn eternal enmity to An
drew Johnson"
We read in ancient history that while
Hannibal was boy, his father Hamilcar
cook him to the altar and made him
swear that when he was grown up he
would make war with the Romans, and
never make any peace with them. Han
nibal took the oath and kept it.
1t seems that Mr.. East did not require
TO be called on by his father to swear
eternal enmity to Andrew Johnson
He laid his "hand OH tho Bible" and
took the oath of his own accord. The
parallel fails in another respect; for,
whereas Hannibal observed his oath,
East has swallowed his, and instead Of
being the enemy, he is now the bosom
friend of johnson.
Can anything absolve man from an
oath voluntarily taken? Jeptha did not
think so when he sacrificed his only
daughter.

tomorrow they issue from the hills like
