From our Special Correspondenti
BROWNSVILLE, October 16.-The re-
ception Of General Cheathsm at Paris
was a genuine outburst Of affection for
,the old hero, as well as fealty to the lib
alism he represent as the live exponent
Of the young and liberal in Tennessee
Several hundred persons formed an inn
prompJu procession on horseback, gath
cred up from the country people in town
on horses, and escorted General Cheat
ham to the courthouse. The General
spoke three-quarters Of an hour, and
made things quite warm for the ex-Pres-
ident, General, etc. He was received
with great and prolonged applause, and
when he asked If any soldier had ever
known him to fail to share any hardship
with the humblest in the ranks, almost
the entire crowd arose 70 their feet and
Joined in one unanimous shout Of 'aNor'
TIE johnson men who tried to applaud
their chief, were counted by two or
three persons, and found &c be between
twenty-five and thirty, and andong them
were detected some Maynard men, who
are diligently seeking to create the i'm
preston that johnson is strongest.
Their efforts are recoiiing on them, for,
openly. as they are for Maynard, their
object 70 create an equal division s too
clear. The speaking had no effect at al
exceut To disorZanize and dishearten the
johnson men, who feel that johnson
does not present defense to charges
against him chat viii hold water, and
makes by his sophistries no votes !
Do not think there WI be many
changes in the county. There are 50
few johnson men that there is but little
room for change, and many Of them
would change to Maynard il they
changed at all. There are, [ know, in
many counties, men for johnson who
honestly desire to preserve the party
from defeat Ii Is not 50 in Henry. /
do not think, after conversation with
leading men from Paris and from every
district in the county, that there are
ten men for him who are not essentially
seeking its defeat in any way in the
world The johnson men claim two
hundred votes in Henry.
In Humboldt we had an opportunity
% see something Of the sentiment Of
t,ius0u county. There was quite an
enthusiastic demonstration for Cheat
nam. and a half dozen friends Of John
son with one enthusiastic admirer Of
MAYNARD from Huntingdon. Owing to
Ehe late hour Of the night there was no
zpsakiug. The sentiment at Hunting
don Is divided more than in the county,
though there are no johnson men there
% burt. For instance, at the speaking

scarcely a johnson representative in it.

Brownsville was reached at two O'Clock
AZ night. The train was two hours be-
hind, but the boys were there in force,
aud came very near devouring the old
nero. They pulled him, and hauled
him. and hugged him, and one took his

General Cheatham, who closed, found
The crowd swelled TO about seven hun

points closely and well. He made one
point which is a strong one. He said
