Mr. Nelson's Address to the people of Rast Tennessee. We find in Brownlow's Knoxville Whig an elaborates card "to the people of East Tennessee," by Mr. T. A. R. Nelson, in compliance with his promise to President Davis.--The Knoxville Register says, "it seems to us to be modeled after the style of Mark Anthony's speech in Shae Confederacy or the State of Tennessee; and I ask that they also be discharged from custody by your Excellency. Very respectfully,Your obedient servant, Thos. A. R. Nelson. To which the following answer was returned: Richmond, Aug. 13th, 1861. Sir: I have received your letter of 12th instant, in which you ask to of action which is disavowed in Gen. Polk's letter, I think I can safely say, without arrogance, that from the course which was adopted-towards me, they would risk nothing by returning to the State and submitting to a result which they have in vain endeavored to prevent. Thos. A. R. Nelson. Knoxville Tenn., 17th Aug., 1861.
