A son Of Parson Brownlow arrived al
Cincinnati on Saturday, having left Bar
louisville on Wednesday. His brother is a
Lieutenat Colonel in the 9th Tennessee
regiment, and young Brownlow had been to
visit him and The troops generally. He re-
ported the men 10 fine spirits, and while
with the troops the announcement was
made that the army was about to march,
and in an hour tho hospitals was nearly
empty. The Times says:
Mr.. Brownlow saw q man who left Knox
vile week ago yesterday, who told him
that recently the Secession property holders
Of East Tennessee, who had not gone too
far to hope for pardon, had been exertiug
themselves TO prevent guerilla warfare, and
many of them declared themselves willing
to take the oath of allegiance. So much
for the wholesome operations Of fear upor
the unconquerable chivalry.
He thinks great difficulty will be expert
euced in keeping the Tennessee troops from
shooting down large number Of the lead
ers in the late raids upon Union men, a
scarcely soldier from that section in thl
national army but has many great wrong
to avenge.
There are at present, about 5000 rebe
troops in East Tennessee, / 800 of whom
were at Knoxville, the remainder being a
Cumberland Gap. The latter place, how
ever, has since been evacuated, but wher'
1 the troops have gone no one in the Unior
army knows. It is the opinion of Mr.
Brownlow that Knoxville will be occupied
/ by our forces in few days. b
The notorious robber-chief, Morgan, wa
stopping at the Lamar House, Knoxville, OF
Friday week, The report that he has beel
captured is without foundation. ts.

Fighting sixty ThOusand RebeIs al FaIl
Oaks. p '


The Peninsula correspondent Of the N.
Y. Tribune says that our victory of tho
Seven Pines (or more properly Fair Oaks)
was one that Napoleon's Old Guard might
well be proud Of. The number of disc-
plined rebels with whom our army had to
contend, is no longer left 10 conjecture. -
A lieutenant of a North Carolina regiment
surrendered to Gen. Summers division and
announced himself a prisoner.
"His Information had startling interest
for u.s. He said that on Saturday morning
the commanders, Longstreet and others,
told the rebel troops that there we're but
5000 Yankees eDcamped at the Seven
Pines. and announced that it was the inten-
tion 10 fall upon them with an overwhelm,
ing forcc-kill upon the ground all that
could be killed-and drive the rest in the
Chickabonniny aud drown them. He said
positively that the attack on us was made
by 10000 mcn-that it was repelled- that
we fairly and squarely whipped ihem--tbat
their loss 10 killed, wounded aud captured
was at least lo,000-and that the senti-
mont of the whole rebel force engaged was,
that the next time 5000 Yankees were to
be shot and drowned, as Saturday after.

We have details Of recent important
events iu Mexico, including the battles be-
tween the French and Mexican forces near
Puebla, 10 which the French were defeated
and forced to retreat to Orizaba. Two bat
talions Of French Zouaves skirmishing as
light infantry began the attack. , These
covered two strong columns. Of Infantry
supported by rihed cannon. The Mexcans
waited ill their enemies were within so
yards, and then fred. The French fed
whilst the Mexicans charged; but other
French columns renewed the attack, and q
second time they fled, leaving 9 number of
dead who were shot in the back. Again
the Mexieans charged, and had they bad
cavalry would have destroyed the invading
army. The French did not renew the at
tack on the front, bat sent:a strong column
against the fortifcations of Guadalupe
They were here also repplsed, and rein
forcement of ,Mexicans coming up, an, attack
was made on their right flank The French
at once fell back on 0rizaba. Their loss is
estimated by friendly authority at 600 or
500 soldiers in the fight aud by sickuess.---
Another fight subsequently took place near
Orizaba, between the ReactioDists, support
ed by the French, and the Liberal forces,
tho result Of which is claimed by both sides
as victory. 1t may, therefore, be regard
ed as drawn battle. The French forces,
it is understood, were TO remain at Orizaba
until they could receive Instructions from
their Government. Meantime, Jparez is
making every effort TO forlify the approach
