On this question he differed toto coclo from Maynarp and Johnson, both of whom have been abolitionists for ten years past. I botted from the Democracy when It became my partizan duty to support Johnson when he was first made GJohnson when he was first made Governor of Tennessee.--Brownlow is also one of the few Southern preachers who, in the hot bed of Abolitionism has promulgated sound Southern sentiments. His discussions with the redoubtable Dr. Prynne, In Philadelphia, attracted very general attention at the time, and every East Tennesseean who read "Brownlow's whig" became a convarole or otherwise in the Southern Confederacy. He has more indomitable pluck, more of fireless energy, more daring, and more friends in East Tennessee than both Johnson and Maynard. Nelson is the greatest man in East Tennessee. He is the greatest and one of the best. His word, is his bond. He has promised to be silent, an

fine old city, and seemingly a pleasant one to live in. Two days there confirmed all the good reports current of it, and the next I took the cars again and at midday arrived at Norfolk, in which city I am penning these discursive and rambling phrases. Of the city of Norfolk I shall have much to say hereafter during my residence here. It is an old town, decidedly European in appearance, and possessing great historic inferest. At present, owing to the passive policy being pursued by Gen. Johnson on the Potomac, this has become the great centre for news, and the ubiquitous, versatile reporters are fiocking here from all parts of the Confederacy, anxiously watching the preparations going on to resist the thunder of Yankee guns, and the boasted power of Yankee armadas. To a poor, plodding newspaper man the place is delightful, for he is, to say the least, treated with some show of respect. In my telegraphic dispatch of yesterday I sent you a "straw" from Boston, which shows co

Feminine Previdence for the soldier. Editors Dispatch:--Johnson's force, campted upon the frozen summits of the Alleghany, the honors of martyrdom seem to have been decreed this winter. Hansborough's and Regen's battalions have suffered most severely, having lost their baggage in the retreats ordered from Philippi and Laurel Hill, and being cut off from communication with their homes in Western Virginia, now in possession of the enemy. They have had no supplies of clothing from the Quartermaster's depariment, because no requisitions have been made for them. Letters from their officers of recent date, mention that they are in cruel need. The omission to ask, that they were receive, is probably due to some local misapprehension. We regret to learn that gloves are not among the articles furnished on demand. In that severe climate, without such protection, they are exposed to lose their fingers, and cannot handle metal with impunity. Is it sense, or sensibility, that is about

if Mr. Bright knew the designs of the Secession leaders, others knew them as well, and Mr. Sumner and others were as guilty as he was in allowing Davis Toombs, Iverson, and the rest to go out unarrested. Mr. Latham also referred to the fact that Mr. Davis, of Ky., in his speech the other day, pointed to Mr. Bright's having sustained Breckinridge as an evidence against him, and declared that he himself was one of the 200,000 who voted for that gentleman; and the gentleman from Tennessee, (Mr. Johnson,) now so strong a Union man, did the same Mr. Davis interposed, and asked, did the gentleman from California mean to say that he subscribed to the same principles as Mr. Breckinridge, the Virginia doctrine of States's Hights? Mr. Latham said he did not mean to be diverted from his subject in this way, but declared that he was among the first who took ground against the doctrine of Secession.
