ANDREW JOHNSON.

Distinguished and ablc men in Trnncsec,
besides Parson Brownlow, held themselves
loyal to the Union at the risk of their lives.

son Etheridge and Andrew johnson. Tie

that of Brownlow. His life has not vet been

done him full justice. His pathetic early

at his trade and married. After his marriage
his wife taught him 10 write. His first po-
liteal office was that of alderman III Grce..-
