pARsoN BRowNLow scoID1NG HIS PEERS

Parson William G. Brownlow, the
editor of the Knoxville Wing, hasbeen
in collision with couple of colored SOL
diers. The following is description of
the affair, from Governor Brownlow's
own pen: 81
One-half of all the colored soldiers
in uniforms in East Tennessee have no
respect for that uniform, and do not APP
preciate its dignity and Importance.
Two of them in. full uniform, some time
since, upon narrow sidewalk in this
city, knocked the writer of this article
into the gutter, throwing him upon his
hands and knees. He was trying to get
out of the way, and they saw it, but
being feeble, and leaning on staff, he
moved too slowly for their ideas OF pro-
gress. / made no complaint, but con-
cluded that the colOred ruf1ians had not
learned to respect the uniform of the
army and went my way--not rejoicing
but feeling in the left knee that | was
worsted in the encounter, which had
net brought about, but sought to pre-
vent. Soldiers and officers wearing the
federal uniform ought all to be gentle
men, no matter what their color, but
the only two colored soldiers ever en-
cOuntered did not prove to be of that
stripe. 1 have no wish to try them
again. might light upon others less
refined who would run me through
with bayonet. Being denied white
mans choice, only ask a negro's privi-
lege of getting out of the way"
