The KnoxviIle WING RerIred.

The interchangeable and patriotic Parsor
Brownlow has already issued his prospectu.
for reviving the Knoxville WING. in which fol
so many years he battled against the growtl
OF the disunion settlement at the south. The
document Is as follows:

"Sept Z, 1868"
We print below the observations made by
the Louisville journal upon the appearance
OF the above. The hearty sympathy and APP
probation manifested by the Kentucky union
lst are in striking contrast with the aversion
exhibited by many Of the opposition press in
this part of the county, whenever the name
of the sturdy old patriot comes before the
public:

tor will no doubt have a prodgous run
Everybody will wish to see it for its own sake
and for the editors. Brownlow is pure,
brave, able and resOlutc man. who has en-
dured much suffering and persecution for his
devotion to the union and endured it with a
herolSm not surpassed 10y that of any political
or religious martyr on record. 1t has some
times been objected that he is too denunciato-
ry, but If, with all his unquestiouable talent
in that way, he can pour tiercer denuncation
upon the rebels and the rebellion than they
deserve, his powers of vengeful elOquence

eve trust that the intelligence of General
Bunside's having taken formal possession of
Knoxville last Friday, is true. Parson Browne
lows return to the city where he lived and
laborrd 10 long and well, where he accom-
pliShcd so much. and where he was treated
with such cruel and bitter ignomny, will be a
proud event not only tor him but for Tennes
see and the country. He had to flee from the
prison and the gallows; he will go back with
the tread of concuernr."
