fWfcune. TUESDAY, MAY 20,1882. CEf. *We long ago ceased to believe in the effi cacy of any emancipation policy that was sot at once comprehensive and the avow al of the deliberate purpose of the National Government. *We have la bored, and shall not cease laboring, to im press upon our rulers the inevitable neces sity of dealing with the slaveiy question and the rebellion, as men deal with smaller things—upon the basis of common justice and common sense; and that implies that We would have them keep steadily in view the importance of so shaping their action, that slavery, as a controlling influence in ■our national politics, shall be uprooted and destroyed, and that, in the fullness of time, every bondman shall be suffered to go free. The day, urged onward by the logic ot 'events, is not lar distant in which this land will have no slave. But the good work. Which will remove the national disgrace and elevate four millions of human beings —men and women with the same hopes, Joys, aspirations, sorrows and passions as control the individuals of the superior race —will not be hurried forward by a line of polity like that which General Hunter pro poses to pursue. He stands alone, and save as he has command of the few troops in his without support The Admin istration at "Washington, though certainly embarrassed by his hasty and Dl-advisedpro nunciamicTtio, will he an unit in opposition to the declarations that he has made. Con gress will Ml to approve, by a formal vote, a decree of martial law which neither the naval nor militaiy authority has present power to enforce; and. we are mistaken in the common-sense character of the deep and earnest anti slavery sentiment of the country, if those who are animated by it, and who gauge their hopes and expectations by its promises, rally in any formidable num bers to Gen. Hunter s support, or if they find reason for quarrelling with the Presi dent if he modifies what the General has dene. They will see plainly enough that Ms Emancipation Order is noise, arid nothing else; that, outside of his own lines, he has not power to knock the shackles off a single slave; that in the States designated hy him as the area on which slavery shall cease to exist, Jeff. Davis’ little finger is mightier than the whole Federal Administration with the President at its head; that if there is, which we doubt, any advantage gained by the shallow pretence that when the Union is restored the power ©f slavery will be restored with it, the advantage is lost by the unnecessary and impolitic avowal; that in all the South, particularly in Mis souri, Tennessee, North Carolina, and now in Louisiana, the thousands, per haps a few slaveholders among them, who having felt the power of the Federal arms, are awaiting the moment when they can safely submit to an inauguration of the Federal authority, will, goaded hy the se cessionists, who cannot fail to use the man ifesto as an authoritative avowal of national policy, find submission to be next to im possible ; and they will sec, too, that the declaration, if backed up by the whole naval and military power of the Union, would have only this result—to drive every human chattel before our advancing forces into another Department where the policy of freedom has not become the rule of action. Seeing these things, the feeling | that the General’s order Is premature, cal culated only to embarass and distract, to ; accomplish no good,but rather to he the seed of new dissensions here and more strenuous endeavors in the South, will be nearly unanimous amopgmenof all parties and all shades of opinion. Such is the condition of the public mind, such the divisions of panics, such is the longing of the Northern sympathizers with secession to aid the rebels by opening a fire upon the rear of* the loyal troops of the Republic, and such is the now apparent unanimity of the people of the South, that when the policy of Emancipation is entered upon, the President, as the representative of the civil and military power of the na tion,must lead off, so that concealed traitors in the loyal Stales may be overawed, that the action of commanders from California to Norfolk may be uniform, and that we may secure by boldness and earnestness the approbation and support of the moral sense of all mankind. TVe have held and hold now that the day is ripe in which Mr, Lincoln’s manifesto, made In his character as constitutional Commandcr in-CLief of the Army and Navy, and in which Hie freedom of all slaves of rebels an arms against the Government, is declared, should be given to the world. Anything short of that, whether we look at the Cabi net variations at "Washington, the procla mations of Gen. Hunter, or the absurd and criminal Order No. 3, of Gen. Holleck, is quackery—trifling with a mailer which transcends*!! otliermatters of national con cern. Such a Proclamation followed upby the action which Hunter, Halleck and all other commanders would be obliged to take, would not only end the war, but lay the foundations of an Union, the perpetuity of wMch nothing could disturb, and the unex ampled prosperity of whiidi would serve as a historical precedent for the encourage ment of Freedom, to the end of the world. era NAVAL VICTORIES. The rebellion in its first aspects was cmr deep national humiliation before the world. j Rival powers, and systems of government | by nature hostile to our own, exultingly read in the formidable outbreak of treason the proof of the weakness of democracy, and the old monarchies laughed aloud at the failure thus prochumed. But the war for the Union has brought its com pensations, dearly purchased indeed, but permanent in their character. We hare given the outside world new ideas, the while we were dealing with the -rebels at home, and have won what we shall retain, the whole some respect accorded to us as a first-class fighting nation. The short space of a lew months since the fall of Sumter has wrought sad havoc with old time mililaiy theories and prejudices and taught despot isms that a lice people need no standing | army, but may safely rest upon the loyalty of the messes for protection against trea son at home, and enemies from abroad. But there is one respect in which the an nals of this war seem especially well calcu lated for this result. We refer to our naval victories. Xoiable as have been our land encounters, and brilliant the movements of our great armies iu the field, even brighter laurels have been won by our navy. The gunboat fights of this war, thus far, will stand in the annals of naval warfare with the brightest records of the past. The achievements of our Dupont, Foote Far ragut, Porter and Worden will’ take their place beside the storied tri umphs of the world’s old commanders and will be read and told with tales of Paul Jones, anti the hero of Trafalgar. The share of the Vanina in the engagement be low Kew Orleans, sinking with her flag filing, after having singly sank or crippled six of the enemy’s vessels; the staunch Cincinnati above Fort Pillow, taken at a disadvantage and hemmed in by the rebel ficet, deeply wounded and shattered by their iron beaks, and yet still beating off her adversaries; the brave old Cumberland serving .her guns until the waters were' rushing in at her p'Htrholes; the ■noble lit . tic Monitor victorious over her huge foe, which,rather than meet again her prowess* commits self-destruction; the terrific play of shot and shell wbh winch Dupont swept the rebel works at Fort Royal, and by which Gddeboroagh won victory at Roanoke Idwjd, all these have made illustrious and •' imperishable the share of our blue-jackets in this war for the Union. liOngafrerpeaa has been won back tool re-united loud, these deeds will live, and nowhere so permanently as in the remem brance of foreign powers. The London Tima will have lees to gay hereafter of British fleets Bailing up the Potomac to dictate terms to the Government at Wash ington, in the event of a disturbance be tween the two powers. And the less so in thatnot only in manner but in material our naval fights have turned a new pagein naval warfare, and rendered obsolete and out of date the world’s great navies. The ■Warrior and LeGloire have from triumphs passed into great naval doubts since the Monitor, and “the wooden walls of Eng land” have become as useless lumber. One lesson we have learned ourselves from these victories: the excellence of the material the war found ready to our hands. The recruits for our war vessels have been almost exclusively from Mew whose rocky coast is the nursing mother of the world’s best seamen. In Mew Bedford alone the naval recruiting offices report that in the year ending May 4th, 1,919 hardy tars had enlisted as marines. From the fishing fleets of Gloucester and Marblehead nearly 4,000 fishermen have entered the navy. And so from Cape Cod, and along the coast of Maine, enlistments have been equally numerous, and have left the merchant marine to ship fresh crews, Mor must we forget the credit due the sailors who have exchanged our lake marine for the gunboat service. And belter men cannot be found fhnn these who faced death too often in their profession, to shrinlv from meeting him on the gun deck, they for whom the perils and hardships of the fishing hanks, the en counters with frost and ice on sealing trips within the polar circles, and in whaling voyages, completing the full circle of the globe. With this material our Federal Mavy has been recruited, and has won its place in the history of this war. And these results we may justly value. They have taught us the resources we possess as a Government by the people, and the strength of our national bulwarks. They have brought out of the fire of our na tional trials, the shining gold of a patriot ism ready to give up all lor country, and to die in its defense. Already the exultation with which European despotisms hailed our disaster has died out, and if interven tion comes now it will come so distinctly as an act of hostility, that we shall be at no loss to understand it, nor without means to treat it as it deserves. THE NEW KXAMPIE. The hint thrown out in the proclamation of Gov. Hector, of Arkansas, that, in the event ol the failure of the Southern Con federacy, his State would endeavor to main tain her own independence, has received an appropriate enlargement in a like paper given to the world by Governor Clark of North Carolina. The latter, in the exer cise of the sovereign power not delegated to the rebel rope of sand which southern politicians have misnamed a repubile, has formally withdrawn from the unprofitable and unholy partnership into which his peo ple were forced by their traitorous leaders, and has given Jeff Davis & Co. notice that all conection of North Carolina with his one-horse concern iiias come to an end. This is just what has been predicted. lu view of the suffering to which the people of the South have been subjected, and of the now manifest hopelessness of their cause, that there has not before been rebellion against the authority which rebellion set up, is more wonderful than that the predic tion, made when the rebel constitution was proclaimed, is now fulfilled. It is proba ble that Gov. Clark’s example will be con tagious. We have always held that there was and could be no endurance ia such a cause as that in which this Union was severed; that.lhe people of the South had not the moral education necessary for suc cessful rebels against such a power as that which this Government wields; that slavery breeds bullies, not soldiers; and that when the work of submission begins we shall see that no men have ever abased themselves before authority and licked the feet of their enemies with such abject fawning as these men will abase them selves before the Administration now in power. North Carolina leads the way, hesitatingly and timidly. The others will come on by and by. A Complaint* Gaxesbvec, itay 14,1562. editors Chicago Tribune: lam a iriund nt tim Tjhuctl, i think and long bare thought it the best paper in the West, but you have not done the I7th Regi ment of Illinois infantry volunreers justice. It is one of the old regiments, having been opftmizcd over a year, and it ha j been a sorting regiment, too, us its long marches in Missouri* after the Swamp Fox, Jed Thompson, whom they overtook at Fredericks town, might testify. In giving the regimeuta engaged at Donelson, you did not mention the 17th, although we lo*t nearly one hundred men there,and were on duty dnringtheentire siege. Also in mentioning Wx'ifigJdimj regiments since the action of Pittsburg Lauding, you do not mention us, although we lost upwards of one hundred and fifty men, which is more than some of your lighting regiments lost. We can do our duty without any patting on the back.. We do not want praise, bat would like our dues. It is rather discouraging, after leaving our homes for the privations, hard ships and dangers of a soldier's life, to be taken no notice of, while others that have done no more than we are lauded to the skies. As au evidence that we ore a fighting and working regiment, is the fact that wc went into the service with nearly eleven hundred men—now there are barely three hundred men lit for duty. We want our rights—in short, to be served as others arc. If you will insert this in your pa per, with a reply, you will oblige Yours truly. The 17th. We hope our complaining friend docs not think that we would intentionally do injustice to his gallant regi ment It must occur to him that to keep track of the sevcntv-lwo regiments and dozen detached companies of Illinois troops in the war, is no c;isy task. We have tried to treat them fairly, and where they have not had the mention which their merits and acts deserve, the blame must not he laid to ns. This letter is a sample of scores -which, ■we get —not from friends of Illinois regi ments alone, hut from lowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, and other Western States. We have received several scold ing letters from. Indiana, charging us with neglecting to give proper praise to the splendid fighting regiments in. the field from that State. Wc have been badly “ blown up” by lowa people, who blame the Tkibttke for bestowing more praise on Illi nois than lowa soldiers, when the latter have proven equally brave and victorious in battle. We can give a ample explanation that accounts for most of the apparent par tiality shown to Illinois soldiers which is, that we receive more letters from persons connected with home regiments than from those from other States. We have half a dozen special correspondents with different divisions of the Western army; but we have scores of “occasional” and voluntajy correspondents who write to us respecting the doings of the particular regiment or battalion with which they are attached. Those volunteer correspondents with lowa, Indiana and Western regiments naturaly send their letters to papers pub lished in the vicinity where tbc regiment was raised, and not to a Cbicago paper, though it may circulate largely among the frknds of the regiment Hcuce, if we do not publish so large a proportion of army letters from the regiments of other Western Slates as we do from Illinois, the fault is not ours. Our regular correspondents are instruct ed to deal equally, so far as practicable, with all the regiments raised within the range of the TiOßtrsis’s circulation, which ex tends over a large territoiy. This general explanation is intended as an answer to scores of letters on the subject.

[Prom our own Reporter.] TTkiok Flowiu, oft Fort Puxott ) On board Steamer John H. Dicker L May 13th, 1862.) The excitement consequent upon the brief struggle of Saturday morning last has now nearly subsided, and although there is unusual activity to be observed in the fleet, it does not proceed immediately from that cause. "What ever may prove to be its origin, your cor respondent cannot even approximate. So well do the managers of the flotilla veil their every motive and desire and many of thel 1 * movements in this respect. The positions of the gnnboats have been- slightly changed within the past few days, perhaps ow ing to the withdrawal of the ser vices of the Cincinnati and the Hound City, the former now resting, as when I last telegraphed, beneath the bank of the Tennessee shore, in about twelve feet of water, mid the latter on her winding way to Cairo for repairs. The flag boat Benton floats like a large, ungainly mud turtle, winch she greatly resembles in shape, just about In the position taken after the engagement of Satur day. The Louisville, lately stationed at Hjpk man, Ky., has just arrived here, and with the Pittsburgh, is acting as consort of the Benton. They rest lovingly side by side—three black, bristling swans—of the washtub species— guarding the entrance to the flotilla. • This forms what is now denominated the first divi sion of the fleet, under the Immediate com mand of Capt. Davis. The Second Division is composed of the St. Lonis, Carondelet and Cairo, and has been located for the time being, on the Arkansas shore, a mile from, the apex of Craighead Point. Capt. Walker of the Carondelet has charge of this division. The fas: wooden steamer Conestoga has been assigned a leading position as a skirmisher in the hue of battle, when it shall be found she has already done good service, and will un doubtedly keep up her present excellent repu tation when again called to the fight. Capt. Stembel, who was so seriously wound , ed in the action of Saturday last, has been re moved to Cairo, where he joined his wife, and ere this has undoubtedly gone home, to Cin cinnati, with her. He is reported as in aa good condition as could be expected nndertbc circumstances, and his symptoms as favorable as possible for them to be, considering the character and location of his injury. The Captain has been in the United States Navy in the neighborhood of thirty years, is about fifty years of age, and a native of the State of Maryland. Of late he has called Columbus, Ohio, his home, but more recently removed to Cincinnati. He was an officer of the U. S. steamship Mississippi for a number of years, and accompanied that vessel on the Japan ex pedition, and cruised considerably in East In dia, Previously, he was Commandant of flic Philadelphia Navy Yard. He is regarded as an excellent and brave man, and it is to be re gretted that this fleet is at least for a time to be deprived of his valuable services. Every one here is hopeful of his speedy recovery. We are enjoying most superb nights down in these God-forsaken woods. The days, espe cially the middle and latter portion of them, are excessively hot, dry and enervating, the thermometer ranging at about 80 deg. in the shade, causing the shadow of the cool side of our steamer to be eagerly sought after, and the desire for iced lemonades and cooling draughts of the stronger sort is prevalent. It is only prevalent—-never satisfied. But the nights—they are really refreshing and invigor ating in their coolness and beautiful clearness of the atmosphere. But for those plaguey pests, the gnats and mnsquitoes, I would wish always to enjoy such pleasant seasons. We can bar these out while sleeping, and hence the hours of repose are the most enjoyable wc have. Silting out upon the guards of the boat, of an evening, the round, lair moon shedding its glad reflection in a broad sheen upon the turbid bosom of the river, and in front the green forests of Arkansas, illumin- aled here and there by a glimmering light from some plantation house, and occasionally a white steamer nestling beneath the shore, from which float strains of martial music; in the rear, the deep morasses and lagoons of Western Tennessee, inhabit ed by numerous swuet-volced songsters of the wood. South of us the flotilla, with the smoke of an enemy’s gunboat floating grace fully over the point beyond; at the north the unbroken, silent but swift-flowing stream, you cannot imagine a scene the contemplation of which suggests more peaceful and harmo nious images to the over-heated brain of the observer. The uninitiated looker-on would not for a moment suppose that within rifle rnngo loy ti*o implements ol "grim vis aged war,” the ships and tlie supporter® of the in terests of a great nation, and just beyond these the men and the breastworks of a de luded and desperate foe. Thus was the loca tion and the surroundings on Monday night, at half-past seven. The gunboats’ bells had not jet ceased to echo the stroke, when, booming, leaping, thundering over the point and through the quiet atmosphere camo the loud and deep-toned voice of a mortar. Pres ently there followed the wind and lightning like glare, vividly reflected upon the surface of the river, and the lesser report, caused by tbe explosion of the shell. The decks of our steamer were immediately crowded with interested spectators, anxious to observe the effect of tbe missile and witness the advent of another, should it chance to come. An inter val of twenty minutes passed, when there was a repetition of the report and the explosion. It was at first supposed that the shells were directed at the flotilla. They fell far short of it, and almost all of them at the edge of the limber on our side of Craighead Point. They were continued throughout the night at irreg ular intervals, occasionally accompanied by the firing of cannon, ail pointed at the same location, until daylight on Tuesday morning, when, cither from the bursting of the mortar, or from the fact that they received no re sponse from onr mortar boat—which had been withdrawn from its position early the preced ing day—they ceased entirely and have not since been resumed. It is presumed that the rebels, seeing lights 'flitting to and fro on the point, had conceived the remarkably bril liant idea that the National forces were busy preparing an agreeble surprise for them in the shape of fortifications located in disa greeable proximity to those gracing the bluff ut Pori Pillow. Their conception was prema ture, so far as is generally known on the fleet. If any works an in course of construction at ; Craighead, those interested keep wonderfully dark on the subject, evea in broad daylight— so dark, in fact, that no newspaper man b?vs jet discovered them, and what they do not discover la hardly worth discovery; in con firmation of which reference is had to the Cairo correspondence of the Chicago Times in which the agony is eo hugely piled on In a pretended truthful description of the late en gagement at thisplucc. The Times gentleman has a remarkable scope of vision. Stopping at the St. Charles is more agreeable than off Tort Pillow, and it is very easy to see the lat ter from the former and then telegraph what one sees. Very easy if one has uo regard for truth and possesses an imagination suscepti ble of getting together the bloody and horri ble details of a most mild-mannered contest without a substratum of fret to build upon. “ To return to my subject,” as I am led to originally quote from TV. A. Christy. The for tifications were not injured by the shelling of Monday night, for the very good and substan tial reason that there were no fortifications to bombard, excepting in the mind’s eye of the rebels. Seeing that no harm was being done by the expenditure of powder, patience and iron on tbe part of ourtas a via at the Fort, tbe inhabitants of tbe Hotel de Dickey return ed to their old positions, and resumed their Previous occupations, if I may except one— ulia, the colored stewardess, who sat all through the night, as I am intormed by. tbe watch, goring through a small telescope she has obtained possession ot, at the water near the Point, expecting every moment to behold the advance of tbe enemy in great force. She did not see them, however, at that time. They wttenot to be seen. Julia had bcrtremblous and sleepless vigil for naught. On the ensuing day, Tuesday, perhaps to find out whether their mortar had an imated out flotilla, or to learn the truth or falsity of the rumor as regarded the fabulous fortifications, or to relieve theanxieiy of our stewardess, who had been fora whole week “looking” for something of the kind •a rebel tug came arouud the point just after the hour of meridian, hearing a white flog. She passed without coming in range of the Benton’s guns, and awaited the result. Al though, from the occurrence of recent events, following closely upon flags of truce—the bat tle of Saturday, for one, —such emblems should richly entitle the earner to a safe and speedy transit to the bottom of the river, it was perhaps proper that Captain Davis seat a *ng down to s*-e what the steamer desired. They had another surgeon to be exchanged, a constant supply of whom it would appear tin y kept ou band for occasions when arecoa nolesance may prove desirable. The surgeon was not exactly there—hut then be could be. welly found. After a slight psrley, the rebel tug stunned off Fort' Pillow-ward, and the Union lug returned to the Benton. In about. nn lour we discovered a second Craft coining around, buggp vg closethe Teanesse shore, flaur.Ut g saucily at her stern an enormous, rag bearing the stripes and bar?. "She ran very rapidly and very saucily upwithin ia»r cannon-range of the flag boat; there turned suddenlyabonrand tookrhebometrack., The Benton toot no notice of this trick more ‘ than to signal the getting on of steam to the gunboats, which was promptly obeyed. • tVby Captain Davis saw fit to aub hAmo. such a, tmnllngand eupercUloai dis play on the part of the rebels is not known, excepting he desired them to conslder-hls lb « t unable orunwilllugto cope with theirs.

It is not near the truth. Fort Wright was located at a point about half a mile north of our present posi tion, but never actually improved by the Confederates, hence there is no such fort hereabouts. The proper name for the fortifi cations the flotilla nag been hammering away at for the past month Is Fort Pillow. The vast waste of water which has for some weeks overflown all the land for six or seven miles on either side of the river, has for a few days been rapidly wasting away, and the sacred soil of Tennessee making its appearanre in more spots than one just this aide of the Dickey. One of tke newspaper correspond ents stopping on this accompanied by the artist of the London Illustrated Ifoss, made his “ first appearance ” on the aforesaid sacred soil yesterday afternoon, in a style and with a result which will cause him to remember the occurrence until he is gray. Let it be pre mised that “our special artist” and “our own correspondent” arc both obese, both, jolly, bothrather active than otherwise. The artist landed upon a small island, crossed to another island upon the prostrate trunk of a huge cotton-wood and displayed his heel aud toe agility, a Id Blondin, with great success. He was applauded hugely from the captain aud tiiot—who occupied-the pilot-house, aud who ' lad a fair view of the performance. Corres pondent endeavored to follow the example of artistjWas upon the point of a triumph when his foot slipped, he lost his equilibrium, and pitched headlong into the dirty waters of the Mississippi. Happily the bottom was near, and upon it he speedily lay, the muddy fluid being uppermost Artist laughed until one would have thought he had the hysterics. Captain laughed; pilot laughed; crew laughed. Julia came out, tainting the “kingdom coming” had come, and she also laughed. Correspondent gathered himselt up as quickly as possible, shook his frame, as a water terrier would do on a similar occasion, and then joined in the common and irreslsti cachinnation. But it turned out to be no laughing matter. The left wrist of corres pondent was sadly out of joint, and could not jc made to work in a natural way. Still laughing, huge artist turned surgeon and bound up the injured limb. Artist says he will sketch the scene for the Illustrated .

The unlucky correspondent was not he of the Cincinnati Times, nor was it the Cincinnati Gazette man, and there is but one other on the boat. W. Bouvets and Bloodbonnds—*An Ol>- ject of Female Admiration. The Nashville (Tenn.) Union, says Captain W. H. Harris, captured by General Dumont at Lebanon, in the late engagement with Mor- band, is now a prisoner in that city, and it adds: We understand that he is a great favorite with many of the disloyal ladies of Nashville, and that they are greatly incensed because they .have not been permitted to lionize this gallant cavalier, and strew his pathway with roses; that they are outraged that General Du mont does not give him the freedom of the city, to visit his friends unrestrained, taking his that he will return when required. That he is a capital object of admiration there is ne doubt, but why, we have been unable to guess, unless indeed it may be because he is the wretch who, in the NashvilieDaffy Gazette ot Dec. 1, 1861, advertised for dogs, blood hounds, to hunt down the loyal citizens of Tennessee, for no crime but lore of country. The following Jis the notice as we find it in that print. The other miscreant is still at large: Notice EsTßAonnrtTAßT.—We, the undersigned, will pay five dollars per pair for fifty pairs of well bred Hounds* and fifty dollars fur one pair of thor ough bred Blood Hounds that sill take the track of a man. The purposes for which these dogs are wanted is to chase the infernal cowardly Lincoln bushwhackers of East Tennessee and Kentucky (who have taken the advantage of the hush to kill and cripple many good soldiers) to their dens and capture them. The said Hounds must be delivered at Capt. Banner's livery stable by the 10th of De cember next, where a mustering officer will he present to inspect them. F. N. ilcNatuY, W H. Harris. Camp Chixfoet, Campbell Co., Tcim., Kov. 16. And now we insist that some gay, sweet damsel, who makes ugly mouths at Union officers and insults decent Union soldiers while attending to their duties, fix up a big boquet for this groom of bloodhounds. Let her cany a litter of bloodhound puppies in her arms in order to make the presentation of dandelions, poppies, and johnny-jump-ups more imposing. Governor Saxton* The now Governor of South Carolina, Capt. Rufus Saxton of the United Slates army, and now a Brigadier General ol volunteers, is thus described by the New York Independent: We could not desire a more fit Tag appoints ment. General Saxton has already obtained an intimate acquaintance with his assigned field of service, and has given full proof of his varied and abundant qualification? lor the post, by liaving acted as Quartermaster General un der General Sherman during: his entire com mand in the Southern Department, from the first step of preparation for thc'Port Royal ex pedition. The country may repo? e confidence in his fidelity, discretion, courage and patri otism to preserve the public peace, and do all that circumstances will admit for the resto ration of the States of South Carolina and Georgia to law and order under the Federal Constitution. Gen. Sail on is a native of Deerfield, Massa chusetts. His genealogy includes many of the most honored names iu that section of coun try beside his own, which has always stood among the best—such Ashley, Williams, Field, Wright, White, etc., etc. Gener al Saxton is himself a graduate of West Point, of high standing in his class, and has continued in the army over since. He assist ed Gov. Stevens of Washington Territory in the reconnoissance and survey of the northern route for the Pacific Railroad, and madea very lucid report on that subject, which was print ed by Congress. He hag seen much adventur ous service among the Indian tribes around tiie Rocky Mountains, as well as in other im portant trusts, and has ever proved upright, discreet and patriotic. He has remained wholly free from tliat sympathy with secession ists which has been so sore a trial to the virtue of many army officers, because he never let his mind get poisoned with homage to the di vinity of slavery. He will therefore do his duty impartially and firmly, without fear or favor toward slaveholders, or any recognition of their peculiar claims as paramount to the rights and interests of all others. He is a sin cere Christian, in the fellowship of the Epis copal Church, and fearing God, will know no other fear. Gen. Saxton sailed for his post of duty on Thursday, in the steamer Oriental, and will be followed and sustained by abundant sympa thies and prayers of the wise and good. He has the full confidence of the President and his Cabinet, as we are well informed, and will be strong In courage to do bis whole duty to all men, to God, and to his country. His headquarters for the present will he at Beau fort, S. C., until Charleston is taken, when he will remove to that city, and there administer the resistless rule of military law, until the rebellions and pragmatical little State of South Carolina is fully brought ovtr to loyalty and peace. More Instances of Rebel Barbarity. In addition to the testimony of Dr. Brown low and other witnesses, we find the follow ing records ot revolting barbarities practiced by the rebels. Cumulative evidence of these atrocities comes to ns from every quarter, and in every instance upon trustworthy authority: A DRCMMER-BOY MURDERED. “It is hardly necessary to say that officers and men are very much exasperated by the barbarous conduct of some of the rebels— bayoneting the dead, cutting the throats of the wounded, and in one instance beating with the butt of a musket the skull of a drummer boy who had received a wound which might well be presumed to be mortal ‘ Tliis_ war ought to have been one of exter mination from the first,’ was read recently, either in a rebel newspaper or in some of the choice specimens of literature left in the camps. The army of the Potomac is quite rtaay to accept that rule; possibly to press it. Certainly I should pity any rebel who should ask a favor of the men of the 16th New York.”— Print, Fa., Letter to the Boston Journal. A TEAMSTER TERRIBLY MUTILATED, “ The two notorious bushwhacker*, Koehl and Weimar, were hung at Sutton on last Fri day, having been convicted of murder. These barbarous wretches, during the latter part of last summer, caught a poor boy who h*4 been driving a government team alone on the road. They inhumanly cut off hi* head with a scythe and disembowelled him.; ‘ and, la their fiendish joy, boasted that they had killed one Yankee. They were captured, convicted of the murder and executed.”— Clarksburg, K»., Letter to the Pittsburgh Chronicle. What War Democrats Think. Capt. Wm. D. Wilkins, of Detroit, Mich., (son, we believe, of Jndge Ross Wilkins, and nephew of Hon. William Wilkins, of Pitts burgh, Fa.) is a life-long Democrat, with all his kin, but he is particularly straight on Con fiscation. He recently forwarded to a friend in Washington a writ of garnishment, sued out by order of Jed Davis before his District Judge Brockenbroagh, commanding the Bank of Rockingham to como into Court and give account of all the money and other property in its keeping which belongs to or is held for any alien enemy of the Confederate States, &c., &c. Hereupon Capt Wilkins writes : Haukisohbuuo, Va., Mays, 1562. I sent you a few days since the mandate of the (so-called) Confederate Court of Virginia to the Rockingham -Bank, a measure prelimi nary to the confiscation of ali the property of loyal citizens that could be reached. Ever/ loyal citizen in the “Valley of Virginia,” through which ..our, column is now moving, has been stripped of everything the rebels con’d cany away. Hundreds of prosperous farms have thus been laid desolate, hundreds of loyal men stripped of all they had, hundreds cast into loathsome prisons. When Jackson retired before us from Winchester, he arrest ed and took with him over fifty Union men of -.that place,.whose only offense was loyalty to their country..iAnd these mem many of them .aged, and .bolding, highly respective posi tions, were driven on foot behind his baggage train, through rain and mud, denied shelter at night, and were often obliged to go all day without a meal. 1 speak of what Ido know. Lenity to these Rebels only makts them. be lieve that we are afraid of them. They imply from onrforbearance that we dare not punish.

Enthusiastic Reception by the Citi zens of Sew York at the Academy of JHnsic. THRILLING ADDRESS OF PARSON BRDWNLOW. [From the N. Y. Herald, 17th.] We have never seen so huge an audience in the Academy of Music, as gathered last eve ning to welcome the intrepid patriot William G. Brownlow, of Tennessee, whose sufferings in the cause of the Union have endeared him to a whole loyal people. The reception was under the auspices of the Young Men’s Re publican Union. An hour before the time of meeting the Academy of Music was crowded. The fees received for admission and they mast have been large, are to be*dcvoted to the re establishment ■of Mr. Brownlow’s paper in Knoxville, A fine band of mnfilc was on the stagehand performed many tunes before the meeting began and during the evening. The stage was crowded with invited gueits, among whom were many of the most ■ distin guished citizens of New.York. -Mr- Charles T- Rogers, President of the Young Men’s Re publican Union, conducted Parson Brownlow to the platform, and his appearance was the signal for loud applause. The magnificent as semblage arose to their feet. and cheered en thusiastically, the ladies vicing with the gen tlemen in exhibiting their feelings in the pres ence of the hero of the evening, • Mr. Rogers stated that Governor Morgan was expected to preside; but he read a letter from the Governor, regretting that official du ties prevented him from being present, and expressing Ms admiration and sympathy for the man who with true heroism, had withstood the blandishments and the threats of the lead ers of the conspirators against the nation. IVm. M. Evarts, Esq., was selected to pre side, and in a few approyriate remarks intro duced Key. W. G. Brownlowof Tennessee. Mr. Brownlow, on rising, was greeted with immense applause, after which he made a speech, from wMch we make liberal extracts: HE 13 NOT A NEUTRAL. For the last thirty-five years of my some what eventful life, I have been accustomed to speak in public upon all the subjects afloat in the land, for I have never been neutral on any subject that ever came up in that time. Inde pendent in all things, and under all circum stances, I have never been entirely neutral, bnt have always taken a hand in what was afloat. THE NORTH INNOCENT—THE SOUTH GUILTT. The people of the South, the demagogues leaders of the South, are to blame for having brought abought about this state of things, and not the people of the North. [Cheers.] TVe have intended down South for thirty years to break up this Government. It has been our settled purpose and our sole aim down South to destroy the Union and break up the Government. Wc have had the Presi dency in the South twice to your once, and five of our men were re-elected to the Presi dency, filling a period of forty years. In ad dition to that we had divers men elected for the one term, and no man at the North ever was was permitted to serve any but the one term; and in addition, to having elected our men twice to yonr once, and occupied the chair twice as longas yon ever did, we seized upon and appropriated two or three miscre ants from the North that we elected to the Presidency, and plowed with them as our heifers. [Great laughter and applause]. We asked of you and obtained at your hands a Fugitive Slave law. You voted for and helped us to enact and to establish it. We asked of you and obtained the repeal of the Missouri compromise line, which never ought to have been repealed. I fought it to the bitter end, and denounced it and 'all con cerned in repealing it, and I repeat it here again to-night. We asked and obtained the admission of Texas into the Union, that we might have slave territory enough to form some four or five more great States, and you granted it. You have granted us from first to last all we have asked, all wc have desired; and hence I repeat this thing of secession, this wicked attempt to dissolve the Union, has been brought about without the shadow of a cause. It is the work of the worst men that ever God permitted to live ou the face of the earth. [Applause.] It is the work of a set of men down South, who, in winding up this revolution, if our Administration ana Govern ment shall fail to hang them as high as Ha man—hang every one of them—we will mike an utter failure. I have confidence myself, and thank God I have always had faith and confidence, in the government crashing out this rebellion. [Applauae.] We have the men at the head of affairs who will do it? and that gallant man McClellan— a man in whose ability and integrity I have all the time bad confidence, and prophesied he wonld come right side up. [Laugtcr and applause.] My own distracted and oppressed section of the country. East Tennessee, falls new by Ike new arangement into the military district of that hero Fremont. [Cheers.] We rejoiced in Tennessee when we heard that we had fallen into his division, [applause.] and although I have always diflered with him in politics, yet. in a word, he is my sort of a man. He will either make a spoon or spoil a horn—[groat laughter]—in the attempt. When lie gets ready to go down into East Tennessee, I hope he will let me know. I want to go with him aide by side, on a horse, with epaulettes, a cocked hat and a s-vord; and our friend Briggs of New York, a former member of Congress, who is now on the platform, has promised me a large coil of rope, and I want the pleasure of showing them who to hang. [Great applmsc.] Wc have had experiments in this tiling of crush ing out rebellion. We had a long time ago one on a small scale in Mas sachusetts, and the Government crushed It out. Aftewards we had the whisky rebellion in the neighboring Stale of Pennsylvania, and the Government applied the screws aad crushed it out. Still more recently we had a terrible rebellion in South Carolina, and, with Old Hickory at the helm, we crushed it out— [applause.] GENERAL JACKSON, And if my prayers and tears could have resurrected the old hero two years ago— though I never supported him in my life— and placed him in the chair disgraced and oc cupied by that miserable mockery of a man from Wheatland, we would have had this re bellion crushed out; for, let General Jackson have been in politics what he was—l knew him well —he was a true patriot and a sincere lover of his country. [Cheers.] When Floyd com menced stealing muskets and other imple ments of war, and his associates commenced plotting treason, had Old Hickory been Presi dent, rising about ten feet In his boots, aud taking Floyd by the collar, he would have sworn by the God that made Moses, this thing must stop . [Great laughter and applause.] And when Andrew Jackson swore that a thing had to stop, it had to stop. [Laughter.] More recently still, we had a rebellion in the neighboring State of Rhode Island, known as the"Dorr rebellion, and the government very efficiently and very properly put it down; bat the great conspiracy of the nineteenth century and the great rebellion of the age is now on hand, and I believe that Abe Lincoln, with the people to back him, will crush it out. [Cheers and applause.] It will be done, it must be done aud it shall be done—[irreat chctriug]—and,having done that thing, gentle men and ladies, if they’ will give us a few weeks rest to recruit, wc will lick England audFrance both, if they wish it—[loud ap plause]—and I am not certain but we will have to do it—particularly old England. [Great laughter.] She has been playing a two-fisted game, and she was well repre presented by Russell, for he carried water on both shoulders. I don’t like the tone of her journals, and when this war is finished wc shall have four or five hundred thousand well drilied soldiers, inured to the hardships of war, under the lead of experienced officers, and then we shall be ready for the rest of the world and the balance of mankind. AN EARLY PERIL. In the inauguration of the rebellion I took sides with the Union and with the stars and stripes of my country. How could it bo otherwise ? I had traveled the circuit as a Methodist preacher in the State of South Car olina in 1832, in Pickens and Anderson coun ties (Anderson county beln<r the one where John C. Calhoun lived,) and 1 fought with all the ability I possessed, and all the energy I could muster, the heresy of nullification then. I even prepared a pamphlet of seventy pages, backing up an sustaining Old Hickory, and denouncing the nnllifiers—and they threatened to bane me then. I have been a Union man all my life. Ibavcneverbeenasectlooalman. I commenced my political career In Tennessee in the memorable year of 1838, and I was one, thank God, of the corporal’s guard who got up the electoral ticket tor John Quincy Adams : against Andrew Jackson. In the next contest I was for Clay. THE STORM BREAKS. I pursued the even tenor of my "way until the stream rose higher and higher with seces sion fire, as red and hot as hell'itself, and com menced pooling along that great artery of travel, that great railroad to Manassas, Tork town, Richmond and Petersburg. Then it was that, wanting in transportation, wanting in rolling stock,"wanting In locomotives, they had to lie by over regiments in our town, and then they commenced to ride Union men upon rails. 1 have seen that done la the streets, and have seen them break into the stores and empty their contents; and coming before my house with ropes in their bands, they would groan out, “Let ns give old Brownlow a turn, the damned aid scoundrel; come out, and we will hang you to the first limb- 1 ’ I would appear, sometimes, ou the front portico of my house, and would address them in this way; “ Men, what do you want with me ?” for I was very select in my words, I took particular pains never to say gentle man. “Men, what’do you want with me S'* “We want a speech from you; we want you to come out for the Southern Confed eracy.’* To which I replied: “I have no speech to make to you. Ton know me as well eb I know you; lam utterly and irreconcila bly opposed to this infernal rebellion in which you are encaged, and I shall fight it to the bitter end. T hope that if yon are going to kill the Yankees in search .of yout rights, that you will get your rights before you get back.” These threats towards me were repeated every day and every week, until finally they crashed out. my paper, destroyed my office, appropria ted thobnildiog to an old smith’s shop to re pair the locks and barrels of old muskets -that Flo.' dhad stolen from the Federal Government, Tl c> finally enacted a law in the Legislature of Tennessee authorizing an armed force to take all the arms, pistols, guns, dirks, swords ■ and everything oi the sort from all the Union men, and they paid a visit to* every Union house in The State. They visited mine three times in succession upon thit business, and th»y got there a couple of guns and one pistol. Being an edj*or and-preacber myself I was not largely 1 ' supplied, and had* the* bil<tace_coa ceuca nncur my clothes. ' [Great laughter.] AN ACCIDENTAL FXBB. Finally, after depriving us o! all our arms throughout the State, and after taking ail tbe fine horses of the Union men without fee or reward, tor cavaliy horses, aha seizing upon the fat hogs, corn, fodder and sheep, going Into houses and .pulling the beds off the bedsteads in the daytime, seiziog uppa all the blankets they could find for the army; after breaking open chests, bureaus, drawers and everything of Ibat sort—in which they were countenanced and tolerated by the au thorities, civil and military—our people rose up in rebellion, unarmed as they were, and by accident. I knew it was from Chattanooga to the Virginia line—a distance of three hun dred miles—one Saturday night in November, at eleven o’clock, all the railroad bridges took fire at one time. It was purely accidental. I happened to be out from home at the time. I had really gone out on horseback—as they had suppressed my paper—to collect the fees which the clerks of the different counties were owing me, which they were ready and willing to pay me, knowing that I needed them to live upon; and as these bridges took lire while I was-ont of town, they swore that I was the bellwether and ringleader of all the bedevilment that was going on, and hence that I must have had a hand in it. HIS PRISON, They wanted a pretext to seize upon me, and upon the 6th of. December they marched me on to jail—a miserable, uncomfortable, damp imd desperate jail—■where! found, when I was ushered into it, some one hundred and fifty Union men, and, asjGod Is my judge, I say here to : night, there was not in the whole -jail, a chair, bench, stool or table, oranypiece of furniture, except a dirty old wooden buck et, and a pair of tin dippers to drink with.- 1 found some of the first and best men of the whole country there. I knew them all, and they knew me, as I had been among them for thirty years. Ms FELLOW PRISONERS. They rallied round me, some smiling and glad to see me, as X could give them the news that had been kept from them- Others took me by the hand, and were utterly speechless, and with bitter, burning tears running down their cheeks, they said that they never thought that they would come to that at last, looking through the bars of a grate. Speaking first to one and then another, I hade them to be ol good cheer and take good courage. Addressing them, I said, “Is it for stealing yon are here? No. Is it for counterfeiting? No. Is it for man slaughter ? No. Ton are here, boys, because you adhere to the flag and the constitution of our country. lam here for no other odense but that; and as God ismyjudge, boys, Hook upon this 6th day of December as the proud est day of my life. And here I intend to stay until I die of old age, or until they choose to hang me. I will never renounce my principles.” Before I was con fined in the jail, their officers were ac customed to visit the jail every day and offer them their liberty if they would take their oath of allegiance to the Southern Confedera cy and volunteer to go into the service, and they would guarantee them safety and protec tion. They were accustomed to volunteer a dozen at a time, so great was their horror of imprisonment and the bad treatment they re ceived in that miserable jail. After I got into the jail—and they had me in close confinement for three dreadful winter months—all this vol unteering and taking the oath ceased, and the leaders swore 1 did it. DISCOMFORTS AND CRUELTT. Gentlemen and ladles, things went on. They tightened np; they grow tighter and still more tight. Many ol onr company became sick. ■We had to lie upon that miserable, cold, na ked floor, with not room enough lor us to lie down at the same time—and yon may think what it must have been in December and Jan uary, spelling each other, one lying down awhile on the floor, and then another taking his place so made warm, and that was the way wc managed until many became sick unto death. A number of the prisoners died of pneumonia and typhoid fever, and other dis eases contracted by exposure there. I shall never forget, while my head is above ground, the scenes I passed through in that jail. I re collect there were two venerable Baptist cler gymen there—Mr. Pope and Mr. Cate. Mr. Cate was very low indeed, prostrated from the fever, and unable to eat ihe miserable food sent there by the corrupt jailor and deputy marshal. A HARD CASE. Old man Cate had three sons in jaiL One of them, James Madison Cate, a most exemplary and worthy member of the Baptist church, who was there for having committed no other crime than that of refusing to volunteer, lay stretched at length upon the floor, with one thickness of a piece of carpet under him, and an old overcoat doubled up for a piUow, in the very agonies of death, unable to turnover, only from one side to the other. His wife came to visit him, bringing her youngest child with her, which was but a babe, but they refused her admittance. I put my head out of the jail window, and entreated them, for God’s sake, to let the poor woman come in, as her husband was dying. They at last con sented that she might see him for the limited time of fifteen minutes. As she came in and looked upon her husband’s wan and emaciated face, and saw how rapidly he was sinking, she gave evident signs of fainting, and would have fallen to the floor with the babe in her arms, had I not rushed np to her and cried. “Let me have the babe,” and then she sank down upon the breast of her d) ing husband, unable at first to speak a sin gle word. I sat by and held the babe until the fifteen minutes had expired, when the officer came in, and In an insulting and peremptory manner notified her that the iuten lew was to close. I hope I may never see such a scene again; and yet such ca-es were common all over East Tennessee. Such actions as these show the spirit of secession in the South. It is the spirit of murder and assaslnutxou —It is the spirit of hell. Andyetjou have men at the North who empathize with these infernal murderers. REBEL BARBARITIES. After the battle at Manassas and Bull Run the officers and privates of the Confederate army parsed through our town ou their way to Dixie, exulting ocer the victory they had achieved, and sonic of them had what they called Yankee heads, or the entire heads of Federal soldiers, some of them with long beards and goatees, by which they would take them up and say, “ See! here Is the head oi a damned soldier captured at Bull Run.” Tuat is the spirit of secession at the South. It is the spirit of murder of the vile untutored sav age ; it is the spirit of hell, and he who apolo gias fer them is no belter than those who per petrate the deed. STILL MORE HORRIBLE. In the town of Greenville, where Andrew Johnson resides, they took out of the jail, at one time, two innocent Union men, who had committed no offense on the face of the earth, but that of being Union men—Nashy and Fry. Fry was a poor shoemaker, with a wife aud h df a dozen of children. A fellow from way down East in Maine, by the name of Daniel Lcadbcat er, and the bloodiest and mo?t ultra man, the vilest WTetch, the most unmitigated scoundrel that ever made a track In East Tennessee. This is Col. Daniel Leadbcater, late of the United States array, hut now a rebel ia the secession army. He look these two men, tied them with his own hands upon one limb, im mediately over the railroad track in the towa of Greenville, and ordered them to hang faur days and nights, and directed all the engineers and conductors to go by that hanging coa ccrn slow, in a kind of snail gallop, up and down the road, to give the passengers an op portunity to kick the rigid bodies aud strike them with a rattan. And they did it. I pledge you my* honor that on the front platform they made a business of kicking the dead bodies as they passed by; aud the women (I will not say ladies, for down South we make a distinction between ladies aud wo men) —the women, the wives aud d aughters of men in high position, waved their white h md kerchlels In triumph through the windows of the car at the sight of the I.to dead bodies hanging there. Leadbcater, for his murder ous courage, was promoted by Jeff. Davis to the office of Brigadier General. He had an encounter, as their own papers at Richmond state, at Bridge} ot, no: long ago, with a part of Gen. Mitchell's army, where Leodoeater got a glorious whipping. His own party turned round and chastised him for cowardice. He had courage to haug innocent, unarmed ieu-d, taken out of jail, but he had not courage to face the Yankees and the Northern men that were under Mitchell and Buell. He took to his heels, like a coward and scavenger as he is. Our programme is this, that when we get back into Ka*t- Tennessee wc will instruct all our blends everywhere to secure and appre hend this Jt-llow, Leadbcater; and our pur pose is to take him to that tree and make the widow Fry tie the rope around, his infernal neck. TJNIOK MEN' IIUSG. In the jail where I lay they were accustomed to drive up with a cart, with an ugly, rough, fiat-lopped coffin upon it, surrounded by fif teen to forty men, with bri-itling bayonets, as a guard to march in through the gate Into the jail yard, with steady, military tread. Wo trembled In onr boots, for they never notified ns who was to be hanged, andyon may imag ine how your humble servant felt; for if any man In the jail, under their law, deserved the gallows, I claim to have been the maa. I knew it and they knew it. They came sometimes with two coffins, one on each cart, and they took two men at a time and marched them out. A poor old man of sixty-five and his sou of twenty-five were marched out at one time and hanged on the same gallows. They made that poor old man, who was a Methodist cliss leader, sit by and see bis son hang till be was dead, and then called him a damned Liocola ite Union shricker, and said, “ Come on; it is y our tnm next.” __ He sank, but they propped him up and led him to the halter, aud swung both off on the same gallows. THE CASE OF EAUN*. They came, atter that, for another man, and they took J. C. Haun out of jail—a young man of fine sense, goo 3 address, and excellent character —a tall, spare-made man, leaving a wife at home, with four or five helpless chil dren. My wife passed the form of Haun’s the other day, when they drove her out of Tennes see and sent her on to New Jereey—l thank them kindly for doing so—and saw his wife plowing, endeavoring to raise corn far her suf fering and starving children. That Is the spirit of secession, gentlemen. And yet you have a set oi God-iorsaken, unprincipled men at the North who are apologtzleg for them and sympathizing with them. Wneu they took Harm out and placed him on the scaffold they hud & drunken chaplain: They were kind enough to notify him an honr before the hang ing that he was to bane. Haun at once made an application for a Methodist preacher, a Union man. to come and pray for him. They denied'himthe privilege, and said that God didn’t hear any prayers in behalf of .any damned Unlon-shriekhr, and he hid .literally to do. without the benefit of the clergy. Bat they had near the "gallows an unprincipled, drunken chaplain of theirown army, who got np and undertook to apologize for Hula. He said: “This, poor, Unfortunate man, who is about to pay the debt of nature, regrets the course he toot. He said te was misled by the Union paper.” Haun rose up, and with a clt-ar.-stentorian voice, said, “Fellow citizens —There is not a word of truth in that state ment. T have authorized nobody to make such a statement. * WbatT havesoid and done Tbave done ’and said with my eyes open, and if it were to be done over, I would do it agaio. Tam reedy to hang; and you can execute your purposes.”. He died like a man; bediedUKO a Union man, like an E'tst ougnt to die. As God is my’ judge, ! would sooner be H'mn in the gra.ve.ti>-day than, anyone of the scoundrels concerned in his murder. v EELIEE WATTED'FOB. . -Hanging is gbirg -cm all byerEast Tennes see, They shoot .them down in the fields, they whip them nnd, as as it may seem to yon, in the counties of Campbell and Anderson they actually lacerate with switches the bodies of females, wives and daughters of Union men—clever, respectable women. They show no quarter to male or female; they rob their houses and they throw them into prison. Our jails are all fall now, and we have com plained and fought hard that our Government has not come to our relief, for a more loyal, a more devoted people to the Stare and Stripes, never lived on the free of God’s earth than the Union people of Tennessee. With tears in their eyes" they begged me, on leaving East Tennessee, for God Almighty's sake, to see the President, to see the army officers, so os to have relief sent to them and bring them out of jaiL I hope, gentlemen, you will use your influence with the army and navy,andall con cerned, to relieve these people. They are tbc most abused, down-trodden, persecuted and proscribed people that ever lived on the face of the earth. NORTHERN DOUGHFACES. Such actions as these show the spirit of se cession in the South. It is the spirit of mur der and assassination—it is the spirit of helL .And yet you have men at the North who sympa thise with these infernal murderers . If I owed the devil a debt to be discharged, and it was to be discharged by the rendering up to him of a dozen of the meanest, most revolting and God-forsaken wretches that ever could be culled from the ranks of depraved human so ciety, and I wanted to pay that debt and get a premium upon the payment, I would make a tender to his Satanic Majesty of twelve North ern men who sympathised with this infernal re bellion. [Great cheering.] If lam severe and bitter in my remarks—[Cries of “ no, no, not a bit of it”j—if I am, gentlemen, you must consider that we in the South make a personal matter of this thing. [Laughter.] We have no respect or confidence in anv Northern man who sympathizes with this infernal rebellion— [Cries of “Good, good”}—nor should any be tolerared in walking Broadway at any time. Such me ought to be ridden upon a rail and ridden out of the North. [‘\Good, good.”] They should either be for oracainst the “mill dam;” and I would make them show their hands. [Laughter and applause.} BROWNLOW AND TANCET. A few weeks prior to the last Presidential election, they announced in their papers that the great bnil of the whole disunion flock was to speak in Knoxville—a man, the first two letters of his name are William L. Tancey—a fellow that the Governor of South Carolina pardoned out of the State prison for murder ing his uncle, Dr. Earl He was announced to speak, and the crowd was two to one Union men, I had never spoken to him in all my life. He called out in an insolent manner, 1 “Is Parson Brownlow in this crowd?” The disnnionists halloed out, “Yes, he is here.” “ I hope,” said he, “the Parson will have the ueive to come upon the stand and have me catechise him.” u No,” said the Breckinridge secessionists. Yes, fentlcmen, we had four tickets in he field the last race—Lincoln and Hamlin, Bell and Everett—the Bell and Everett ticket •was a kind of Kangaroo ticket, with all the strength in the legs—and there was a Douglas and Johnson and a Breckinridge and Line ticket. As God is my judge, tnat was the mvanest and shabbiest ticket of the four in the field. Lincoln was elected fairly and squarely under the terms of the law and the Constitution, and though I was not a Lincoln man, yet I give in to the will of the majority, ar-d it is the duty of every patriot and true man to bow to the will of the majority. But the crowd hallooed to Tancey, “Brown low is here, but be has not nerve enough to mount the stand where you are.” I rose and marched np the steps and said, “I will show you whether I have the nerve or not.” “ Sir, said he—and he is a beautiful speaker and per sonally a very fine-looking man—“are you the celebrated Parson Brownlow?” “lam. the only man on earth,” I replied, “ that fills the bill.” “Don’t yon think,” said Yancey, “yon are badly employed as a preacher, a man of your cloth, to be dabbling in politics and meddling with State affiurs ?” “No sir,” said I; “ a distinguished member of the party you are acting with once took Jesus Christ up upon a mound and said to the Saviour, ‘Look at the kingdoms of the world. All this will I give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me.’ ” “Now, sir,” said I, “His reply to the Devil is my reply to yon,‘Get thee behind me, Satan.* ” I rather expected to be knocked down by him; bnt I stood with my right side to him and a cocked Derringer in my breeches pocket. I intended if I went ofi the scaffold that he should go the other way. “Now, sir,” I said, “if you are through, I would like to make a few remarks.” “ Cer tainly,” proceeded said Yancey.” “Well, sir, you should tread lightly upon the toes of preachers, and yon should get these disuniou isis to post you up before you launch out in this way against preachers. Are you aware, *ir, that this old grey-headed man sitting here, Isaac Lewis, the president of the meet ing, who has welcomed you, is an old dis union Methodist preacher, and Buchanan’s pension agent in this town, who has been meddling in politics alibis life time?” “ Sir,” said I, “are you aware that Ibis man, James D. Thomas, on my left. Is a Breckinridge elector for ibis Congressional district! He was turned out of the” Methodist ministry for whipping bis wite and slandering bis neigh bors. “ Sir,” said X, “ are you aware that this young roan sitting in front of ns. Col. London C. Haynes, the elector of the Breckinridge ticket for the Stale of Tennessee at large, was expelled from the Methodist ministry for ly ing and cht-a' ire bis neighbor in u measure of com ? “ Now, v ’ said I, “ for God's sake say notMng about preachers until you know what sort oi preachers are in your own ranks.” And thus ended the colloquy between me and Yancey. I am happy to announce to you that the re bellion will soon be played out. Think God for his mercies, it will soon have been plavod out. [Cheers.] Ricnmond will he obliged to f.illvtry soon, forthat noble fellow, McClel lan, will capture the whole of them. [Renewed applause.] I have confidence and faith in Fre mont, and hope he may roshiutoE.ist Tennes see. If Halleck. Buell & Co.—[great cheer ing]—w ill only capture the region round about Corinth at d take Memphis, the plav is out and the dog is dead. [Laughter and cheer©.] Then let us drive the leaders down into the Gulf of Mexico, like the devils drove the hogs into the sea of Galilee. [Laughter and applause.] fßisrcllaneous. FROM AUCTION.
