Speech Of Parson Brownlow.
Correspondence OF the Frceman's Jour

NASHVILLE, Feb 24.-Parson BroWnlow
made one of his characteristic speeches. 1
ought not to disgrace the paper BY traDscrlbing
what he said, but will do so for your indi
idual information, leaving you to cross 1t out
if YOU think proper He began by saying that
he knew all the Rebels, from William L. Yam
cey down to [ sham G. Iarris-that there
were better men now burning in the flames Of
hell than any Of the leaders Of the rebellion
that there were better men in the penltentia-
ry than a,ey Rebel He was no peace man; he
was for war Of determination Tremendous
applause He would pursue them all into the
Gulf Of Mexico and drown them like the
devil did the hogs [Applause. He would
if necessary, fight until all are killed, North
and South-until like the Kilkenny cats there
is nothing left but their tails, Applause. -
All traitors ought to be hanged; and he would
like to tie the knot himself. The hanging Of
half dozen on Capitol Hill would be a beau
tiful sight shouts from the boys and clapping
Of hands by the girls: and would have bet
field. He hoped when the soldiers return
home thew will hang old Valandigham and all
other traitors He is an unconditional Union
man. and goes in for hanging and killing
every man chat is not Tremendous APP
plause. He goes in for hanging, and hell and
damnation. [Shouts Of Good. Every Ten
nessee soldier in the Union army carries in his
breast devil as big as his hat, When they
march toward Knoxville he was going to carry
with him four ambuiances loaded with rope to
hang everybody they met, and at each hang
ing he will thank Coo for his mercies in allow
ing him to witness such beautiful spectacles.
Considerable excitement prevails in Somer-
set county, Nd, in consequence of a slave
breaking into the dwelling of white lady, and,
with drawn dagger accompanied by threats
Of death succeeding in outraging her person.
He then made his escape.
The Louisville, Kentucky, journal says there
are persons in that city who are guilty Of the
crime Of stealing free negroes and selling them
into slavery.
Fred Douglas has caused to be printed in
the newspapers Of Rochester, n. Y, an ZAP
peal to arms addressed to 'his colored fellow
citizens.': He says, now is the golden opportn-
niey.
