The Elections.—The returns from the elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and lowa continue to assert the complete victory of the Republican party. In Pennsylvania the Union majority will not be less than twenty-five thousand ; ia Ohio it is thirty thousand ; and in lowa, Governor Stone, who sustained universal suffrage, has fifteen thousant majority. In all three of these States ihe Legislatures are strongly Union i both branches. -♦ -•-♦ Relief for the Sufferers of th South.—A few weeks since the Mos Reverend Archbishop Spaulding, of th Diocese of Maryland, called upon th clergy of the church to take up collec tinns in aid of the suffering people o the South. According to the last repor made by the clergy, the aggregat amount of these has exceeded $10,000 This money will be distributed in the most judicious manner to the needy and suffering, and will be gratefully received. J. Ad. Rozier, Esq., one of the most talented members of the New Orleans bar, has been nominated for Conferees hy the democrats in tho first district of Louisiana. Mr. Rozier is from an old French family in St. Louis, Missouri. He was a member of the secession con vention of 1801; but, elected to.it as a Union man, he protested against the ordinance of secession and persistently refused to sign it. He wa» subjected to some indignities in New Orleans on ac count of his Union sentiments, but, like President Johnson, stood firm. He has always been a Union man, but opposed j to the abolition of slavery. j Our Washington correspondent fur nishes a pretty sharp outline of the body andmiudof the Rev. William G. Brown low, the editor of the Knoxville (Ten nessee) Whig. He analyses the politi cal-parson's career, and seems to show that the reverend and robed old scold is troubled more by a " constipation of ihoughtand a diarrhoea of words," than by sense and decency. Mr. George T. Curtis, the geutleniau alluded ;u> haying i j been assailed by Mr. Brownlow, is (he author of the history of the constitution and brother of the Hon. Benj. H. Curtis, who was called lo the bench of the Su preme Court of the United States, by President Fillmore. The New York Observer is "a weekly religious and secular newspaper," and a very good paper of its class. It lias a wide circulation and a large income. II las just sent us a long advertisement of s merits, with a statement thai if we ill insert it " four times in a eonspicu isplace" in our columns, and send a marked copy" of our paper to the enormia "Sidney E. Moore A C0.,N0. 37 Park Row, N. York," Ihey will send us, in compensation, " the Observer for one year." Inasmuch as our compositors and pressmen, and freedmen carriers, could not live a day on the food tendered by these customers, we are compelled to decline the obliging offer of our reli gious cotemporary. Besides, wo do not wish to do an act Which should imply that the Weakly Observer was an equiv alent for the Daily Post.- In our judg ment, the daily presence of the Post is < as useful to mankind as tbe acrid face of the Park Row journal once a week. At any rate, we cannot do business in • this "religious and secular" way. j The New Orleans Pieetyuue of the /ith instant, says s Whilst a party of 11. & cavalry, who hal been scouting in some of tlie upper counties of Texas, were re turning to Jefferson, Marion county, they halted nt. Hickory Hill, Cass county, to bury one of their number, who had died—four men being detailed to perform the funeral ceremonies. A number of ladies and gentlemen of the vicinity attended out of respect. Three ruffians, armed with six shooters, sud denly rode up and commenced tiring on the soldiers, two of whom were killed outright, one was wounded in the head and fell to the ground, the fourth es caped to tho woods. The murderers carried off the horses, arms and equip ments of the soldiers. The command ant at J efl'ersoii offered a reward of 11,000 for the apprehension ofthe busliwackers. Tho citizens of the adjacent counties held a public meeting in which they ex press strong indignation at the cowardly act. am*** We publish news from Europe to tlie oth Instant, a week later than the Chi na's advice. The recently published list of subscribers to the rebel loan has caused quite a Btir among prominent Englishmen, who are anxious to escape the odium attaching to financial sympa- j thy with the late confederacy. Several I ot them, Including Mr. Gladstone, Chancelor of the Exchequer; Hon. Evelyn Ashley; Mr. Ridout, proprietor of the London Morning Post, and Mr. Laird, M. P., have gone to tlie newspa pers witli assertions that they never had any interest in said loan. The London Jfaoi styles the list "a malicious impos ture." A meeting of holders of Southern State and railroad bondsaud bank secur ities issued previous to the rebel rebel lion had been called to be held in Lon don. It ia said that if the people of the indebted States should manifest adispo sition for an arrangement, their English creditors would be disposed to meet them half way. In the London money mar ket ou the (ith inst. United States five twenty bonds were quoted at G9£a"o.— Consols for money were at 88$ aSS|. Tn Liverpool, on the 6th, the cotton market was excited, and closed at an advance of from two pence to two and a half pence per pound for American descriptions.— Breadstulfs, provisions and produce had experienced no material change, but were firm. —' ■»««- THE AEMIES OF THE WAS During the civil war, it was fashiona ble in England to misrepresent the Union army. Rorrowing the language of the fanatical press of Charleston, the Tory journals declared that the federal troops were a set of mercenaries and the scum of Europe. Rut the cockney press is now seeing another sight. "Except the squadrons," says one of them, " which charged at Worcester and E_>y, no army was ever set tn the like that of Sherman. Many of nk and file were gentlemen—poets, rs, advocates, preachers, bank ers, landlords : such men as would mix in London society and be members of I -Mall clubs. Many of the cavalry i tlieir own horses; many of the in ry had bought their own arms, y weie persons of estate, accustoin >good houses and rich living. They friends in high places, and luxuri lomes awaiting their return." This 11 true, so far as it goes; but the lishm an does not know all. Then I privates even in Alabama regi ts—wonder if there is a man in land who knows where Alabama -who went to the war with a bank lint in every town they marched through! Individuals North and South furnished to their respective chieftains fully equipped batteries; and opulent private citizens, too old for service in the field, became wagon masters and teamsters. No! thenrmyof the rebellion was not composed of scum ; it was made up of the liest blood of a young nation, which, though do* ,i little lame, is nei ther exhausted nor fearful of the future. We always admired Mr. Charles Eran cis Adams's reproof of the Pall-Mail Snob. Mr: Sidewhiskers observed to our ambassador at the Court of Saint James one day, " I say,jjr.u r . Adams, now, you know, you must own, you know, that the Confederates, you know, are brave ; and that, you know, they fight well, you know—nearly as well, you know.as Her Majesty's best!" "Yes/ responded Mr. Adams, quietly, "the Confederates do fight well; they are brave men, and I enn proud to claim them as my countrymen .'" The cock ney was dumbfounded the next day when, through the aid of another Ox ford man, he got the whole force of the ambassador's reproof through his skull —•—.

A REVIEW OF THE PARSON W.ciiiM.ni.v, October IS, HWS. spiiisl Oonraspoadaars or the Norfolk Past, This man is one of those insignificant beings who has pushed himself Hp to Ireatnoss by Ihe force of his insiifloia o vulgarity and low breeding;, facts at are not creditable to the good sense id refinement ef the people of this untry. It is 100 often Ihe case that c liutiixiii is made a hero, and blacks lanlism secures popnlailty. We have ad a recent discussion in the papers tween Brownlow, as Governor of miessee, and Mr. Curtis, of New >rk, which we think is quite as (lis iceful to theOovernor ns it is credita i to the lawyer. Home persons who c sight of the principles involved, as 11 as the character of the parlies, are iposed to side with tlie Governor, t us see who this man Brownlow is. I The editor of an insignilicant partisan per hi Knoxville, and tlie ignorant [lowing exhorter to a small country igiegation, he (breed himself into lice by denouncing alike his political, igious, and personal enemies during • week in his vile journal, while on 'Sabbath he desecrated the pulpit nf B Lord's Annoiiited by equally coarse d vulgar tirades against the same lsh of people. He neither served his intiy nor his Clod, but used both to ther his own ambitious purposes. It not speaking very much for the id sense of the people of East unessee, when Ihey can follow ■ lead of a man with such coarse mid brutal instincts as Brownlow. The Knoxville Whig was always a low and disgusting newspaper, respecting no manner of decency, and ready at any moment to violate alike Ihe sanctity of private feelings, of the hearth, or ofthe altar. The language Brownlow bus.al ways used, whether in thepress, the pul pit, or on the stump, lias been alike heartless, conrse and uncouth, showing him to be devoid of refinement, decency, good-breeding, and, in fact,every quality that distinguishes tlie gentleman from the blackguard. During the war he has displayed his coarse instincts by a con tinuance of the gross and unfeeling re marks that he hassodelighted in the use of from his youth to the present time, aud still shows no disposition to repent of, in his intercourse with those wliosaw fit to oppose his natural but vulgar, and fanatical ideas of right. He occa sionally condescends to attempt the use nf argument, but in doingso he exhausts the vocabulary of billingsgate, for vile epithets, low figures, and disgusting im ages. Rut his general way of using up nn antagonist is to denounce him plen tifully, in a style illustrative ofthe con stipation of thought and a iliari'lnea of words, regardless of either truth or jus tice, or plausibility, By the powerful odor of words alone, he drives away all opponents, and remains master of the field—for no refined gentleman can afford to fight Brownlow—with his own weapons. He gained some celebri ty, added to his notoriety, iv (he North particularly, by having foresight enough to continue faithful to the Union. Well, the Union stood by him, and paid him handsomely, too, It is no great matter of credit to liini if he did have the as- ' tuteness to foresee that the rebellion would not succeed, and to put himself safely undertheprotectioii ofthe Ameri can flag. There were other men a thou sand times more honest, and certainly much more decent, than thisvulgar and brutal village parson, ribald editor, and unworthy governor, who, casting their fortunes with tlie majority of their (state, fought honestly for their honest, but mistaken, convictions, and failed, who are still gentlemen, and will always be respected as such because they have not lost their manhood. They did not change tlieirnature, and, like Brownlow, turned , to hunting down their fellow-men, to j accomplish their ruin, or to exult over 1 their misfortunes. We grow sick with ] writing about and thinking of this , reptile; and almost doubt the justice of heaven when it permits its altars thus to ' be mocked and desecrated, and the peo- : pie to be tyrannized over and insulted , by a being so vile and degraded. A i crazy fanatic, without feeling or reason, I or judgment, and only distinguished by ! his cruel and brutal instincts, to be per- \ mitted to preach, or to teach, or to ' govern a people! It is monstrous! j And, yet, heaven withholds its ( avenging thunders! Tlie correspond- , ence of Brownlow with Mr. George Tieknor Curtis, of New York, is, on the I part of the former, so vulgar and so ' wanting in sensibility and justice, as to , cause every American who reads it to | blush, that such a niau should be in I the possession of power and holding a dignified position in the government of ] the country. This and other things— t in fact, every act of his life—prove that tltia tyrant, buffoon, mountebank and j charlatan, baa no son), but is governed by the cruel instincts ofthe tiger, toslay J because lie has the power to destroy. The reply ol Mr. Curtis is calm and full ! of dignity, notwithstanding it is evident ( fl'om the tone of his letter that his feel- j jigs have been deeply wounded, btill I ac is a gentleman well known for all I those generous and noble qualities of 11 the head and heart, that distinguish I N man troui the lower animals, and he ' cannot condescend to enter into tlie arena of blackguardism, to discuss at t any length questions of public policy I 1 and light, even with the Governor of* Tennessee. The correspondence grew , out of a, private letter from Mr. Curtis : to the Governor, requesting some infor mation in regard to the alleged bad treat- j nient of a Mr. Kain, who was confined j in jail in Tennessee, on various charges, t including murder and treason. Mr. Curtis being au eminent member of the J I New York bar, was employed to defend j I Kain against these charges, and as was I < ''' lutsttii uil m \ ,o>ei nor pri vately to inquire into the truth of the averred cruelties practiced upon a prisoner, not yet convicted of any crime, but merely held for trial. Now we can see nothing wrong in Mr. Cur tis doing this much for his client. Rut what does Rrownlow do? Why, instead of investigating the truth of the allega tion, he publishes Mr. Curtis'snote, and makes it the text of a brief letter which he also publishes, in which he, the Oot - ernor of a Slate, attempts to prejudice he case of the prisoner, by asserting that he Isgulltyofall the crimes charged against him, and that he is a felon, a rebel, a monster, amurdeier, and deserv ing of no better treatment than that to which it is alleged he is subjected. Brownlow, like a preacher, believes very likely, in the original truilt of all man kind, and does not see the necessity of a trial to prove what is already eslah ished in his own mind by rumor; Imi, as Governor of the State, and a high of icer of the law, he was bound to reeol eot that the law looks upon every man as innocent until lie is tried and fully convicted, and anything like punish ment before conviction is contrary to every principle of justice. l. ENGLISH IMPERTINENCE. Now that the war is over, and slavery is abolished, and freedom is everywhere established in America-we cannot help asking, with the New Ymk E.ipress, is it not about time that certain English Abolition orators, who have been, for a year or more, wandering all over the Northern and Kastern States, lecturing in behalf of the Republican party thought about returning to the old country? There oeitainly can be no further work for them to do here—while a good ileal nearer home -that is to say, in Ireland, there is a pretty loud cry for "Liberty" and " Justice " coming up and if anything can he done to stop that cry, if not by demanding at once the "justice" and "equality" of the British Government, at least by in quiring into the grievances of the com plainants, it seems to us such gentlemen as the Rev, Dr. Massey Should not be now, out iv Ohio, campaigning there for the Loyal Leaguers, but in .Extol 1 Hall, London, or in College Green, Imb lin, or in Kilkenny, or in Skibbereen. Let US have "liberty" for Irishmen, as li'ell as for the negro; or, if Mr. Massey's overnment is not ready, just yet, to rani that boon, lei him, at least, lend is pen and tongue to bring it, fair and juare, up to the mark. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. Father Point, Oct. 15, 1805.—The steamship Nova Scotian. from Liver pool at 2:30 p. m. of the "itl?ami London !erry on the oth inst., passed this point lis evening. A meeting has been called at London f persons interested iv such of the old tmerican securities as have been in arrears previously to, or in consequence of the war, with a view of forming it tiinniittee. The securities, in respect of hleh this agitation is commenced, are aids of Virginia, Louisiana, Tonnes e, North ami South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi, and various railways and banks in those States, the whole'of which represents very heavy amount. In regard to the published "list 6f per sons suffering by the Confederate loan, additional denials are put forth. The Times iv a leading article terms the list (malicious imposture. It says the iitenient that the editor ofthe Times is loser by Confederate stock to the nount of ton thousand pounds or more oney is a complete falsehood, Tho In rious and insulting comment which the Star lias based upon original false hoods are, therefore, entirely unfounded. No reprobation can be too great for levity Which admits such imputations on the general authority of the New York Her ald, and then makes them the theme of alteeted indignation. Tlie Morning Star having included Mr. Gladstone in the list, and called on him for explanation, publishes tlio fol lowing laconic telegram from that gen tleman at Liverpool: The Chancellor of the Exchequer to the Editor of the Star : I see my name placed ou tho Confederate loan list. Please to remove it. The Hon. Eveylen Ashyby writes to the Times that at no time had he any share or interest in the Confederate loan. Mr. Rldout, proprie tor of the Morning Pott, writes to that journal that he never had and never ap plied for any of the loan, aud that if the rest ofthe list he like that which refers to him, there is no dependence to be placed upon it.
