A BRowN1ow BUTcnERY-We have
received intelligence from Winchester
that squad Of Rickman's militia compa-
nv, under the command of an officer
named Holt, went to the house OF Mr..
Brown, last Tuesday morning, took him
out in the woods, tied him to tree with
thongs of bark, and literally sriddled his
body with balls.
They also took young man named
Poe, tried him by drum-head court
martial, condemned him to be shot, and
were about carrying the sentence into
effect when the tragedy was prevented
by the timely interposition Of a gentleman
who had been Union man throughout
the war.
Our informant states that many of the
citizens of Franklin county havo been
plundered and maltreated within the past
few DAYS, and that others have been COM
pclled to seek refuge in the woods.
These cnormitics have all been commit
ted on people whose conduct has been
above even suspicion. The only excuse
for killing Brown was, that he had scrv-
cd in the Confederate army during the
war, and the indications at present are
that the best citizens of the county will
fall victims to the vindictive hatred OF
these licensed assassins.
So great is the feeling OF alarm through
out tho section of country named, that
the people have already begun to organ
ize for mutual protection, being deter
mined that one company of Brownlow's
mercenaries shall not rob and murder
them with impunity. a meeting was to
have been held at Winchester last night
