on the plantations, to rebuild their
cities and bleach out their mourning
goods, while there is tremor of war
yet on the ali, Bill, but you can do
It. Do You be true and brave-we
VIII answer for the rest. You have
more witnessestips the North than you
know Of There are skeletons in
many families hereaway; and they
are skeletons that some people would
be doggoned glad to get rid of-glad
If they never had taken them in.
There's are pianos, silver sugar
bowls, silver cream pitchers, silver
sugar tongs, gold watches, beautiful
paintings, valuable books, important
documents rings, breast pins, lock-
cts, laces, silk goods, fast horses,
marble top bureaus, rosewood furni-
ture, guitars, photographs, keep
sakes and mementoes of gold and
silver, and other witnesses here from
your District; witnesses in the Con-
vention against the thieves who over
run your country in the name of 10y
atty, and stole from you while their
comrades were fighting. And these
witnesses are having weight now.
Their testimony is becoming more
and more important. Not more in
your behalf, Bill, than against the
plunder-loving thieves and towards,
who went into the war to steal more
than to fight, to fill their pockets
more than to subdte the rebellion,
so-called.
We have got sick of this kind of
foolishness. We sent for Maginnis,
and he is nowsat the other end of the
avenue, with gun in his hand,
ready to enforce further encroach-
ment on our domain. It is hard,
Bill, to forget the insults of the past,
but we must do it. We both fought
well. We hurt you and you hurt us.
We are both Americans, and you
know, Bill, that is good stock. Up
here in the North, the people are sick
of feasting on blood, and we will have
no more of it, except in defence OF
law, order and the Constitution. The
mask is being stripped from the high
waymen who lately patrolled ou1
mountain paths, and oil is coming
out we'll. So be of good cheer. Dc
you stand close by the flag, Bill, and
we'll stand close by it. The war is
past. The bloody curtain is rolled
! up. You take hold of one end, and
we will take hold of the other, and
carry it far away. The scenes of the
past shall never be re-enacted, Bill
and if youns will be brave, weuns
will stand by you, and will soon be
happy together.

it would be the only excuse, utter

the disgrace he is inficting upon the
State in, which he dwells. He calls
himself man of God. He processes
to be messenger of peace and good

or out as saint of Christianity among
mankind. But he has ever promoted
strifes, and fights, and bloodshed in
neighborhoods.
He has been a pest, an itch, le-

bohum upas. His tongue has ever
been s'set on fire of hell" his heart
being the hell to kindle the wagging
member. Beelzebub's tail is forever
coiled like snake around the old
miscreant's neck. There has never
been any more religion or decency in
his sermons, or his prayers, or his ex-

than in the yelling of hyenas, the
cursings of pirates, or the objurga-

Prentice Takes Another Photograph
OF BrOwnloyw.

Prentice is out in his rejoinder to
Brownlow's reply through late num-
Der of the Knoxville Wing. We sub
join few extracts as specimen of
the burning lava thrown out by that
Kentucky volcano in eruption:
Old Gov. Brownlow, after keeping
the filthy hole in his face shut for
weeks, comes out with another at
tack upon us in his Knoxville Whig,
which has ever been a disgrace to
Knoxville, to Tennessee, to civiliza-
ton and to uncivilization. He never
had mind enough to keep his body
from rotting consequently, he has
always been mass of qualification;
he has never had sufficient common
sense to last him over night, so that
he wakes up miserable fool every
morning; and this last effort of his in
his Wing is the poorest, the feeblest,
the jejunest, the most contemplate
that we have seen even from him. 1t
doesn't rise even to the level of in
vective.
There is no more talent in the
writing than in the scratchings of a
dung-hill fowl upon a dung-hill. 1t
is a mere concatenation of vulgar
epithets and lies-vile lies, for which
there is not so much as the thin and
shadowy ghost of pretext. 1t is the
simple raving Of q broken down, in
furiated weak old man or no man-so
weak, that, like the lean dog we read
of, he has to lean against fence to
do his barking. All the little atom OF
sense he ever had-if he ever had an
atom-has gone to the grave before
him-but not much before him, it is
to be hoped, for mankind's sake.
He has no right to be still hunting
"the glimpse of the moon He is q
loathsome fistula of the body polite.
He is NANCY old dog-a disgrace tc
his own f1eas. He is a foul bubble
floating on the surface of cesspool.
The poor old devil undertakes te
hold us responsible for what is
charged against Mr.. Henderson, the
owner of a minor interest in oul
paper, who is on trial at Nashville fol
alleged frauds as mnle contractor
during the war. If the old wretcl
was not worse than beast, or two
beasts, (he should be cnt up into {
dozen,j he would not assume Mr.
Henderson's guilt before it is proved
We have assurances from high sources
that Mr.. Henderson is certain to b,
honorably acquitted, and we have
not doubt of it.
He has no scruples as to wha
charges he makes against men; h'
always invents the very worst an(
most infamous he can, and make
. them. This is his only rule. He ha
). no more regard for truth than th
common father Of himself and sin
He breeds lies. as Satan's wives OF
concubines breed imps, or as file
