Rebel Atrocities in East Tennessee.
PARSON RROWNLOW ACCOUNT.


The Knoxville Wing and Rebel VentiIator
of the llth has the following: Since the
Union army has taken possession of East
Tennessee, many very wealthy Union men
have been cruelty murdered by the villain
Gus rebels in arms, assisted by perjured citi-
zens who had come forward and taken the
oath. Murder, treason, robbery, infamy and
ruin are the order Of the day in the counties
above and below Knoxville. In the upper
counties, they have shot down and otherwise
murdered Union men and women ; and the
soldiers, turning out in bands Of marauders,
have robbed the families OF everything in
their houses and on their farms. Wherever
they were unable to carry off all that they
found, the thieying villains have destroyed
1t, burning private property and burning all
before them. They have, within few weeks
past, murdered old men in the presence of
their families, committing cruel and Infamous
atrocities that would disgrace wandering
Arabs. In Washington county the other
day, they murdered Rev. Mr. Bowman of
the Dutch church. in cold blood, ard upon
no other pretext than that he was Union
man. In the counties of Blount, Monroe,
Hamilton and Bradley below Knoxville,
they have recently committed some of the
most atrocious murders ever known to this
hell-born and hell-bound rebellion. They
marched an old man man named Smith out
from his house in BIount county, and shot
him down in the road. He was in his Goth
year, and left poor and helpless family of
nine persons who had been dependent upon
lis! abor,for their daily bread. The only charge
was that he was Lincplnite. They cru
ely murdered Rev. Levi Carter, and one Of
his sons in Bradley county, and the charge
was that he was a Lincolnite Methodist
preacher. They cut the throat of the Rev.
Mr.. Blair Of Hamilton county, a Baptist
preacher, in the presence of his family, and
his otfense was that he was Union man.
They murdered c. Carter of Bradley county
IN like manner, as refugees from that quarter
report to US. They are said to have MUIR
dered TWO of the Carsons in Monroe county,
for no provocation whatever They murder
ed Rev. Hiram Douglas of the Presbyterian
church, under circumstances that would dis
grace any Algerian mob. They shot down
man by the name Of Coseart, for no other
offense than that he was a Union man. And
these are only items in the long list of wrongs
and crnelties daily perpetrating by set of
scoundres acting under leaders who have
been false to their allegiance, to their friends,
their neighbors, their states and their nation.

Facts which the times are developing show
that the condition of the Boston sewing girls
is little above that of their New York sisters.
There are fifty sewing machine establishments
in the city and vicinity which employ on an
average 80 girls each, and their average
wages is only $3.50 to So week, which is
hardly more than they have to pay for board
while many do not make as much. and are
therefore sorely pressed. The prices paid
girls in other shops are also less than the
bare cost of living.

Editor Gate City: l see in your paper
of this morning that Mr.. NJ. Stafford
wishes to purchase one hundred thousand
prairie chickens. This will no doubt set
the pet hunters at work, thinning out the
game, and sportsmen will have 70 quit
shooting. | should think that the old
gentleman certainly could find something
else to speculate in, and let the small
amount of game that is here in this Sec
tion rest. As Mr.. S. claims to have been
sportsman himself in hislyouDger days,
| should think be would know how to ap-
preciate shooting game. However, if he
wants that many prairie chickens for his
own use, | have nothing more to say.
But am opposed to speculation in game
where it is so scarce and so many sports
men. Think of this, old fellow, and
think you will change your notion.

SLEIeHRrDIkG. - Yesterday morning
Mr.. Gum. the gentlemanly proprietor of
the livery stable situated on johnson
street, nearly opposite the Deming House,
brought out his large four horse sleigh,
determined to set the ball rolling by in
viting sleigh load to take the first grand
sleigh ride of the season. He drove up
Main street and was not long in finding q
number who were eager to accept his
kind invitation to "pile in," and among
them was "ye local." who was not at all
eager-"no, guess not"-notwithstanding
we we were not longin seating ourselves.
We do not remember when we have en- :
joyed sleigh ride more. Perhaps, though,
the enjoyment was not all owing to the
sleigh ride; weheard man hint as much,
but didn't believe he knew. The ides

rhs rest Question Assin.

The Nashville IntslligeaesrI the Jour
nal Of Commerce, and the Louisville
Journal are three leading newspapers of
that class which steadily lamepts and op-
poses whatever tends toward making the
United States a nation exclusively of free
men. We have heretofore asked of two
Of these journals the test-questlon: Are
you glad that there is prospect of the
extinction of American slavery, or are
you sorry?
From one of these journals We received
no reply; from the Intelligencer We re-
ceived column and half of very hand
somely composed disquisition about the
subject, ending with an irrevelant state
ment as to the former expenditures Of its
proprietors to free slaves, but our ques-
ton was not answered. No wonder. II
they say they are glad, they viii be asked,
then Why do you not help the caase I and
if they say they ere sorry, they perpetrate
upon themselves an enormous ethical stul-
tifcation.
Bat the question is still the chief touch
stone OF our current nationsi policies and
politics. A true answer to it will instantly
place the speaker either in favor of slave
~ itself, and also of re-establishing the
old league between Southern Shareholders
and Northern sycophants which held the
nation, before the war so long under its
costly and corrupting and discreditable
yoke, or in favor Of nation in which
there is neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude. except for crime in favor OF a
nation all instinct and shining with the
warm, pure, vivid life Of spotless free
dom.
The test is crucial. We acknowledge
that We propose An inconvenient dilemma
But We feel that it is our duty. Tht
faithful surgeon must probe through
wound Of gangrene, no matter how un
gracefully the patient squirm and scold.
Therefore We must ask the question
again of the National Intelligsncer, th'
Louisville .Iournal and Journal of Com
merce - the answer need be but thre
words-either, We are glad or, We ar
sorry. Gentlemen. we are glad tha
there is prospect of the extinction 0
American Slavery. are You sorry FL y

@The New York World, paper
which has been more malignant and yitu-
perative in its abuse Of the AdrninisEa-
Dtion and its friends than any other pub
lished in the United States, with the ex-
ception of the Chicago Times, processes
to rejoice over the promise Of m "eraI Of
good feeling" in our political affairs. This
"era of good feeling is due TO two facts,
viz: the recent overwhelming triumphs
of the unconditional Union men of the
country over all phases of treason and
the diminished insolence apd malignity
of the Copperhead press in view Of the
drubbing it has received. No thanks sre
due to the World and its co-workers fol
this result, though its impudent bearing
has b, aen toned down thereby.
