MORE FROM PRENTICE.
And Nothing left Of Br0wnlOw.
Probably Enough For one Day.

From the Louisville journal Of Monday
Governor Brownlow, the old maj
miserable, is getting fcebler and feebler
1t used to be thought, at least by som
that, with NIL his internal fiendishncss
he had some coarse vigorofeXprcssiOn
though no vigor at all of thought. Blu
he has got to be the merest imbecile
even in Language. He has lied anC
sworn and raved himself into idiocy.
The follish old imp or impish old
fool attacks US again in his Knoxville
Wing Of last week, 1t is a mere re.
production, repetition, in even in q
poorer and weaker form, Of his sian.
ders Of the week before. Not an adj
ditional charge Of circumstances is put
forth. We replied, last Monday, to all
his charges, and there isno need ofour
replying to them again. He knew and
he knows that they are all infamous
lies. He saw our rcfutation Of them,
but ignores all retutations.
This accused old miscreant says that
we, the senior editor of the Journal,
were the chief actor in Mr.. lsham Hen
derson's transaction with the Govern
ment. Mr.. iIcndcrson's transactions,
we are sure, were perfectly upright, but
be that rs it may, we had and have
nothing to do with them. Mr.. Hen
derson had no transactions inside our
office; and, with those outside, W had
no more to do than the man in the moon.
Mr.. FL. has never had any transactions
in our office. He has not desired to
have. He has had enterprises on his
own personal account, rs he had right
to have. Since BrOwnlow asserts, that,
in Mr.. Ienderson's mule transactions,
we were "the chief power behind the
throne" let the old miscreant say what
atom Of evidence he has Of his asscr-
ton. If he has any, why has nobody
else any? If he has any--thc damna-
Die old villian-why doesn't he lay it
before the proper authorities, that we
may be properly dealt with? Who, be-
sides him, charges us with any sort Of
completely with what Mr.. Henderson
may have done? And he the Cover
nor Of State.
The old villain repeats his charge,
that, during the war, we had extensive
contracts to furnish the Government
with guns, pistols, etc, We have re
peatcdIy branded the charge as--what
it is-m unmitigated lie. If we had
contracted to furnish guns and pistols
to the Government, it would certainly
have been no dishOn0r to us. But We
didn't. We never asked for II such
contract. We never wanted one. In
selling to individuals, under q license
from the city ofLouisvillc, the Few guns
and pistols We did sell, we were % in
dependent ofthc Federal Government
as Of the Cham ofTartary. We repeat
that the Government, III all the war,
laid on lis no obligations, but, on the
contrary, a very gross disohIiyation.
We do not expect to feel called on to
deny the miscrable libel again,
Rrowniow is the poorest ofhumbugS
He resorts to all kinds Of mean and
low-liyed tricks to give himself conse-
offence. Some time ago he put u re-
port in circulation that an attempt had
been made or was about to be made to
assassinate him. But no assassin has
been found " traced. None is named.
Nobody believes that any such attempt
as he speaks Of was ever contemplated
The miserable Old creature seems AK
iOuS to rival the fame Of PAYNE, who,
several years ago, pretended to be fired
ut eycry day and night, and acquired
the name Of the great Sll0t-at." He
wants to have it thought that there is Il
perpetual deadly conflict between him
selfo the II side. and tens Of thou
sands ofruiii9ns on the other, armed
with cannon, mortars, rifles, blundcr-
hEsacs and dung-torl;S. Imposition,
fraud, cheat, a~rtiiicc, trick, trickcry,
co&cHing, swindling, have ever been his
vocation. We do not say he is the
minister of the Devil, for old ClJv"n-
.1oot has more sense than to employ old
Coycn tonyac rs his minister. Thelat
ter has the temper Of q hycna, the man
ncr5 Of bear, tIa dcccncy Of Il skunk,
and democrats Ola chicken hawk.
Our readers already know how, SIS
late a. 1861, lrownIow threatened IN Il
published letter shat the South, unless
tjo North should come to tcrils, would
form an alliance with France aud over
run and %suliugate the North. They
know how, after his release from q rob
81 prison, he denounced the North for
contemplating opposition TO the REBEL
ion. And the know how long aai
earnestly Judge c. +. Trigg ani SIr.
John Williamson had 10 cXpostniatc
and demonstrate with him to keep him
from publishing All article, in type, in
favor Of the election Of delegate from
the Knoxville District to the rebel Con-
grcss. And they must know, from
these facts that he is Us damnable al old
traitor as cver swung between earth
and sky, twirling and squcaking in the
winds of heaven. There isn't 4 wretch
in all the Southern ConfedcracN tina,
more deserves hanging than he.
Old Brownlow was never in but one
place where he deserved to be, and that
was in the rebel prison. II he has any
more lying to do perhaps he had better
make haste to do it in this world, Is he
will get his pens and paper scorched
and his ink boiled away in the next
He has Il chronic diarrhea of lies. He
could no more breathe an air untitled
with his own lies and curses than one
without hydrogen or oxygen. If he
were oiIihe earth, it would appear much
more favorably than it does with its
sister planets. He is no writer-sim-
ply a brawler, 4 bawler, Il he-vixen, a
male termagent, a masculine-viragO.
