From KnoeciUe-sSpeeches ofthe traitors, Broun-
losU and Maynard Federal ru1c, dc.
The Atlanta Register has direct news from
Knoxville. Il says:
VIM G. Brownlow and Horace Maynard had
both reached the city, and had pronounced char
acteristic addresses before the populace. John
Brownlow, Lieutenant Colonel is with his faith
or. In fact, Browulow and Maynard have brought
with them their families They surely deem their
occupation of East Tennessee permanent. The fe-
rocity of Bsownlow is fearful. His violence was
never comparable to its exhibitions which have
occurred since his arrival at KNOXVILLE. He evil
IDENTIFY deems himself the master of the situation
aud expects to reign lordly pctentate in East
Tennessee. In bis speech Brownlow said that he
had 10 apologies to make for the acts and procla-
nations of President Lincoln, in fact that the
Northern President had not gone half far enough
BrownlOw further declared that he was not only
in favor of arming every negro in the South, bat
that he would turn loose wild beasts to prey upon
the population of the country. "Rattle-snakes
and all reptiles" exclaimed the Internal monster,
''should be showered upon Southern Homesteads
until secession is extinct. A more deadly poison
should be distilled from their fangs and the noun
tains should be searched to gather them for the
invasion of the Gulf States" Iu the presence
of men AMI women who crowded the street he pro-
nouuced Hon. John II. Crozier, little son of
b-h, and "gentenen," continued this genuine
exponent of Lincolnism, "in reference to the Rev
clergymen, i'll were General Burnside, [ would
bind their necks together with single chain and
sink them to the lowest caverns of Help
We are assured that this speech Of Brownlow
transcribed in obscenity and blasphemy all that
ever fell from his envenomed lips. We may add
that he repeated favoite allusion to his newspa-
per, declaring, $50 help me God that it was the
y religious publication in the South, and that even
it was not hurt with piety."
The speech of Horace Maynard was hardly less
violent than that of Brownlow. He was especial
ly denuncatqry of the Messrs. McClung and other
citizens, male and female.
After these speeches, Col. Pryor, an old citizen
of Knox, who was under arrest, called on Brown
low in order to induce him to effect his release
from prison. Colonel Pryor, who is 50 years Of
age, washed from prison into Brownlow's house,
expecting to secure his assistance in effecting his
release from confinement. For many years him
and Brownlow have been intimate friends. When
tho old man was led into Brownlow's presence,
Brownlcw, ravng like madmah, drew a pistol,
declared that he would. murder any scoundrsl or
rebel who dared to ask favor of his hands. The
guard nterposed to save Col Pryor's life, and led
him back to prison
The Yankees have given concerts in Knoxville.
The front seats assigned to the negro wenches
of the city, whc are escorted to church and to
places of amusement by Federal soldiers and off,
GERS. Negro balls are frequent, in which the
bellies are Ethiopian danlsels, and Federal officers
the gayest gallants. !
The Federals at Knoxville have not the most
remote idea that Bragg contemplaes movement
on that city. They were engaged in plundering
the country everywhere. Great numbers of peo-
pie from the country have come into the city beg

disguised and maddened by the acts of infamy and
despotism constantly perpetrated.
When our Government had possession of East
Tennessee if it had hung or removed the tories,
the yankees would now be unable to make so
much Roadway in that section. 1t is very bad
policy to allow disloyal men to 60 at large in any
section until the northern robbers and murderers
come.
