Doc. 108. Brownlow's address. the Knoxville Whig, of October 26th, contained the following: This issue of the Whig must necessarily be the last for some time to come — I am unable to say how long. The Confederate authorities have determined upon my arrest, and I am to be indicted before the Grand Jury of the Confederate Court, which commenced its session in Nashville on Monday last. I would have awaited the indictment and arrest before announcing the remarkable event to the world, byranny!--the crimes of Louis XVI. fell short of all this, and yet he lost his head! The people of this country, downtrodden and oppressed, still have the resolution of their illustrious forefathers, who asserted their rights at Lexington and Bunker Hill! Exchanging, with proud satisfaction, the editorial chair and the sweet endearments of home for a cell in the prison, or the lot of an exile, I have the honor to be, &c., William G. Brownlow, Editor of the Knoxville Whig. October 24, 1861
