As was to have been expected Col. Vol.
ford took an active part in the proceedings
Of the late Prentice Guthrie Convention at
Louisville. He made speech to that Con-
vention, brimfull of the most intolerablc
antagonism to the government. The speech
is reported somewhat deliberately in the
Louisville Democrat, and we refer to it to-
day only to call attention to the following
reflections on DR.. VIM. g. Brownlow;

for the Government in the work Of restoration be-
ing preacher, and therefore good man. lie had

his old secession neighbors and there Is no telling

William G. Brownlow needs no defense
against such charges as the above, and if he
did h. is quite able to make a defense for
himself There is no man in the country
better qualified to take care of himself
However, the charges uttered against the
spotless character of Dr. Brownlow are so
supsrlatively infamous that we feel it our
duty to characterized them as wickedly false
in every particular.
The Office which DR.. Brownlow fills may

legislation Of Congress, which some Of his
Kentucky friends in the House of Repre-
ssntatives voted for too. 1t is not true that

believes t2 What citizen Of East Tennes'
see-be he Unionist, copperhead or rebel
will not instantly vindlcate Brownlow from
such charger We warrant there is not
one in this division Of the State, except,
perhaps, those who, for interested motives,
doubtless suggested the policy of arraigning
Brownow on a charge which no one has
ever dared heretofore to whisper against
him. He has always had his share Of enc
mics, but none ever doubted his personal
integrity,
But why this effort TO blast the good name
Of parson Brownlow9 Even If all were
true alleged against him, that is not the
reason why the indictment is preferred, for
the copperheads never make charges against
their own thieves, So this lie is Matched up
because Dr.. Brownlow desires 10 rid this
State Of slavery. This is why the ACCUSE
tions are made, Let no one be astonshed
ut the fact Slavery has well nigh ruined
the country, and Of course it should not be
expected to respect an individual. Brown,
low is in the way, He must be sacrificed,
or cooperate with the advocates of the Ma
jority Report. Every man whose knee is
not supple at the feet of the institution must
take the consequence Of having his private
character maligned unstintedly and without
cessation. There are none so high that
they will not be attaclled-none so low as
to escape the venomous prosecutions Of the
friends Of slavery Slavery dies hard, but
it will die, and such INSCRIPTIONS efforts to
prolong its life will only serve to hasten its
demise.
III this connection it may not be improper
to state that Gov Bramlette has authorized
Wollord to raise q regiment Of troops osten-
siblv for the defense Of the State but really
we have no doubt 10 intimidate the friends
Of the Administration. Assuredly, these
men mistake the temper Of the friends of
the Government if they suppose that man
dishonorably dismissed the service will be
permitted to command Federal troops

Rebel Crueltles.

The rebels, as ours forces press them, and
as their prospects become more gloomy, be-
come desperate, and increase their barbara
ties They display their malice by shooting
and hanging negroes found in the Union
lines, they wreak their vengeance upon
Union prisoners by starving them out in
loathsome prisons, filed with yermin. Now
they are turning their attention to Union
ladies, and they are starving and impriaon-
ing them, as though they were brutcs, and
their most deadly foes upon the field Of bat
tie. Late information from Richmond an
nounces the following startling facts, which
illustrate:
Day by day the rebels become more des-
perate and cruel. They are no longer sat
isfed with casting Union men in prison 10
starye and be deyoured by vermin, but are
brutaly outraging deiencelcss women
More than dozen ladies', suspected Of en-
pertaining Union sentiments, have been
torn from their homes and families, and
thrown into Castle Thunder within the last
three weeks. A few weeks ago Mrs Rice,
Union lady of Richmond, succeeded in
getting North, when it trOnspired that she
had concealed at her home Col. Strajghtand
other Union officers, who escaped from the
Libby. This led the rebel authorities 10 be-
lieve that there were more Of Mrs Rices
stripe to be found, and detectives were set
to work to hunt them up. Nearly all the
ladies with whom Mrs Rice was on terms
of intimacy have been arrested and incar-
cerated Gen. Winder swore that he would
be revenged for the arrest of his mother at
the North few weeks ago. and that every
Union women in Richmond should suffer
for it, 1t is to be hoped that General Grant
and the noble armies under his command
will not leave these hell less women much
longer at the mercy of the rebel tyrants--
Among the ladies arrested was Mrs, Devoe,
residing at No. ll2 Franklin street whose
husband has been for nearly three years IN
Europe She was dragged from her chill
dren. the youngest only g years Of age
and tnrown in that dreadful sepulchre, Cas-
tie Thunder. On the second day she went
mad with grief and on the third day she
died.
What groans Of horror were uttered
throughout Dixie by the imprisonment Of
two or three female ,conea, notorious rebel
spies, by the United States authorities, soon
after the war began. Instance the case of
Mrs. Grecnshaw, who, in any other country
would have been executed as spy. That
noted rebel female spy, Bell: Boyd, was put
in the Old Capitol Prison at Washington,
and how it horror struck all Dixie. But
East Tennessee females, Of the Union school,
have been treated with more cruelty By the
rebel soldiers and authorities, than even
these villains are doing at Richmond No
copperheadcd sympathizer with the rebel
lion has cried out for mercy for them.

From the Nashville Times June /.
Are our Resources Equal TO the Emer.
genCy.

Under this head the Philadelphia North
American, one Of the Oldest and perhaps
the ablest financial and commercial Journal
in the country, discusses and reviews the
pecuniary state Of the nation very elabo-
rately.
The american says that people ask Arc
our financial resources equal to the enor-
nous and unprecedented strain to which
this gigantic war subjects them9 Is the
imitation Of the currency excessive? Are
investments in the national loan safe, and
are we secure against any ald all forms Of
reputation, OF Of depreciation equivalent
to it, in all the obligations Of the country ?
1t replies Suppose an opposite state Of
affairs from the present, and that all the
manufactured products Of the country were
twenty-five to fifty per cent less than in
1860 Cheaper labor in the same proper
ton cheaper farm products, cattle, horses,
grain, and all the staples ofeXportation.
Who does not see that suffering and losses
would follow, and that the great war on
our hands would fall with tcn-bld severity
upon the strength and resources Of our
people? Even if the prices o. 1860 had
DcGH Simply iH'lllHAihNNi ~ N'"f' VI ~
zens--merchants, farmers, nor laborers-
would have borne the trial ms easily rs they
now bear it. The great fact is patent to
every man that the turn Of the finances
is wonderfully favorable to the visible bust
moss of nine-tenths Of the people; that they
are prosperous 10 an unprecedented degree,
and that the country can and will easily
pay such taxes as nobody, three Yeas ago,
would have dared to suggest, or to believe
possible in the United States in the most
prosperous times.
Still the point in question is: Can we
pay the debt that has accrued and vii ac-
crue tho principal in good times, AMI the
interest in coin as we go? This il the
main question, and really the only question.
This interest We do pay now, and Jay it
easily. The revenues, present and pros
pectiyc, are ample for all such purposes
1t is proposed to raise three hundred mil
lions by internal taXes-really a sum larger
than is nccessary--but still that can be
paid, if levied The increased duties Or
Imports will raise the revenue from that
source to one hundred and fifty millions,
