A Letter from Parson. Brownlow.
NASIIVILLB, March 6, 1863
To the Editor of The Press.
Sin: I have been here and in the surrounding
country for two weeks, nd I have by no means
been an idle spectator of passing events. I have had
but little leisure to write, and would not now trou
ble you with this communication but for the fact
that I have not written to you for three months. I
will not dwell upon the weather, the climate, the
atigatizzs.,o4l.db r, ash
4ttil,All,i, -
0, 1 notice, and not Lthc
hinny other .6.41112110ne of the south. The machi
nery is in the hands of Him who orill run it pro
perly.
The Cumberland river is forty_feet above low
water, and the amount of rain that haS fallen, and
the flush condition of all the creeks and springs of
the country, will cause the Cumberland to keep up
until late in the spring or early in the summer. .This
is fortunate for the Union cause, for it will 'enable
the commanding general to bring on supplies, even
should the railroad nap be destroyed. Gen. Rose
crane is availing himself of the advantages of both
"institutions,' the rivers and the roads, and is fill
ing every warehouse and cotton shed in Nashville
with army stores.-
Philadelphia
I have just returned from Murfreesborough, where
I spent two days in riding through the vast encamp
ments of our troops, and over the late battle ground.
I traversed about five miles In extent of the battle
ground, first in the fields, and then in the woods
among the cedars and timbers where much hard
fighting was done. No man at a distance, and only
receiving the newspaper accounts, can form any idea
of the number of dead horses and mules upon the
ground. Their names are legion. They are often
piled up, one upon another—some shot through the
body, some through the neck, others with heads and
legs shot off. But all are in a wonderful state of
preservation, though lying on the field more than
two months.

Mga arc out off, ana many trees are cutoff' at point'
ranging from five to thirty feet from the ground.
Large trees of sire suffieientto make sawloga, where
the cannon balls struck them fairly, they passed
clear through, and daylight can be seen through as
one rides along. Cannon balls are to be seen all
along the line, and shells that failed to explode. In
other instances, pieces of shell are upon the
ground, and among the cedars I handled them. .
The graves of the dead are to be seen everywhere.,
in untold numbers. The head-boards of single
graves, indicate who many of them are, giving
names, regiments, and residences. Among the rebel
graves I found the name of a relative of my wife,
a captain of artillery, from. Alabama, killed in the
light on the 30th of DdEeraber. In many instances
ditches were dug, and from seventy-five to one hun
dred men packed into a ditch. The dirt upon many
of these is only a few inches deep, and in some in
stances hands and feet are sticking out. The greatest
eight to be seen is that in front of where General
Ilosecrans massed his artillery, say one hundred and.
twenty guns. Dead horses and mules, and an in
numerable quantity of graves, tell the effect of these
guns l I could but feel sad as I peeled over this
terrible battle-ground, and yet I felt that there thou
sands of Southern soldiers in rebellion against the
Government of the United States had villainously
sought, and righteously foimd, their rigida—not In
the " Territories,” but in the cotton , fields and cedar
thickets of a State they had forced out Or thg

people.
While passing a large college building in Murfrees
boro, in which there were between two and three
thousand rebel wounded prisoners, some of whom
are dying every day, I was told by an officer who
had taken the trouble to visit them, and talk to
them, and a large majority of them avowed that
they were Union men, and had been conscripted;
and they further stated that the conscripts had been
forced into the front ranks of the battle, and that
they had suffered more than any other class of men.
Deserters are coming into our lines every day from
the rebel army, twenty at a time, and they, as well
as Union refugees, agree In what they say. Bragg
and Johnston have both bade speeches to the army
at Tallahoma and Shelbyville, and the grand point
made by them was, that they intended to break our
lines on the Cumberland, drive our army back to the
Ohio, and then they would be sustained by the
"peace party of Indiana and Illinois, Ohio and
Kentucky. The staple in their epeeohes was the
aid and comfort" they had a right to expect, and
were sure to receive from the "peace party" of the
Northwest. They based their hopes of success upon
the aid they expected from these traitors in the
Northwest, and boasted that they would, this
spring, carry the war, into Carthageond soon have
the "conservatives of the Northwest for allies.

other forces. Johnson's East Tennessee mounted
infantry, .commanded by one of the captains, had an
engagement with the rebels twenty miles south of
here but three days ago ' and captured seventy-two
prisoners. These have been brought in and seat
North.
At Franklin, on yesterday, there was quite a bat
tle, our forces getting the worst of it. Franklin is
eighteen miles from here, and twenty-two from
Dlurfreesboro. Van Dorn's forces, ten thousand
strong, were prowling about there, and some three
regiments of our forces under the control of Gen.
Gilbert, started out upon a look after them, carry
ing one battery with them. A fierce engagement
ensued, during which our forces, being assailed by
three times their number, were repulsed, and it is
said here by men from Franklin, since the light, that
our loos in killed, wounded, and prisoners, is about
live hundred. There are complaints of a want of
vigilance and caution by those commanding the post
of Franklin. lam no military man, but it seems to
me that this has been a badly managed case. Van
Dorn's forces retired to Spring Bill, only thirteen
miles distant from Franklin. I am, not aware of
what step are taken to meet the case. Officers who
were in the engagement assert that there were one
or mare regiments of etyma in the fight, and‘hat
they fought deafer ately. Ilow this is I nm unable
to say. It is true, however, that Van Dorn's army
are seizingupon all the ablobodied negroes they can
get, and pressing them into their ranks, either with
as soldiers, and to arm them in battle.
I credit the statement that they hare armed ne
roe" with them, and that they charged the Fedora
battery, as alleged by the Union officers and pri
vates. The rebels are capable of arming negrocs or
doing anything else. They have armed Indians, and
sent them out to scalp Union men and out off their
ears.' They have tied Union men hands and feet,
and forced them into a war they are opposed to,
even putting them into the front ranks. What is it
they would not dot For my part, I think this
slaughter of a few of our regiments with armed ne•
groes, will have a beneficial effect. Itwlll moderate
the Copperheads of the Northwest, who have such
confidence in the humanity, honor, and chfvalry of
the rebel army. And it will eool.off the radical Abo
litionists, whose love for the negro induces them to
believe that they are so meek, loyal, and God-like,
that they will only fight on the side of freedom. I
told the people of the North, in my speeches, as
thousands of them will recollect, what .I now repeat
—that is to say,one half of all the slaves in the seceded
States will fight for their owner', and fight to perpe
tuate their own bondage.
I aril pleased to have it in my power to say, and
say truthfully, too, that the Union sentiment of
Tennessee is growing stronger, and developing itself
more and more in every direction. There is now a
flourishing Union Club here, which numbers ate
members, all citizens, and its members are increasing
daily. Its regular meetings are held every Thurs
day evening. Its rules and regulations are strict,
and its members are all unconditional Union men, and
are required to be such.
We hope, In Tennessee, to have the rebel forces
driven down into the Cotton States by late in the
spring or early in the summer, so as to enable us to
elect members of the Legislature and a Governor,
all of loyal men. Then we shall redistrict the State,
and elect loyal. Congressmen and Senators, so as to
have them in Washington next winter to back up
the Administration and the army, and oppose the
mad schemer' of the copperheads. We will also
elect judges, organize our courts, and again put the
machinery of civil government in motion.

THE PEACE NEGOTIATION'S
at Richmond, rumored in the telegraph news, cause
some little talk in public places, but excite no very
deep inteaest. It is perfect natural for rebel de

lines, for the sake of giving themselves an odor of
importance; but since the "reliable-gentleman"
and the , " intelligent contraband" were exploded,
the populace have grown invariably skeptical.
Speaking of peace, Fernando Wood, having been
challenged by the Evening Post for reiterating in his
recent treasonable speech at Hartford, that "propo

before thi President in December last, would, if

who wee yesterday treated to another epistolary
broadside from Horace Greeley, in the Tribune, re
plies with a letter in the Times of this morning.
The following was the most savage passage of H.
G.'s attack : •
"The personal assaults of Mr. Weed are of little
consequence, because of his utter recklessness of
truth. He says, for instance, that I incited' the
Cotton States to withdraw from the UniOn'—a lie—
that ; 'ln the darkest hour of the war, traitorously
proclaimed that we must put down the rebellion in
sixty days, or make peace on the befit obtainable
terms'—another lie—that I conspired with Vallan

man is utterly blind and mad with hate of those he
has betrayed and deserted."

Government ever since the war began, and thwarted
More than one of its naval enterprises, is lucidly ex
plained by Mr. Norman Wiard, the famous inventor
of improved ordnance, in a letter published to-day.
He says the explosions are occasioned by the une
qual expansion of the inner and outer circles of the
metal of the gun when the latter Is discharged. The
expansion of the inner circle, which is in immediate
contact with the charge, is much greater than the
expansion of the outer, and hence the frequent
bursting ; the larger the gun the greater being the
danger. He proposes-6 obviate this difficulty by
constructing the guri.cif two different metals of dif
ferent expansive capacities, so that the expansions
may be equalized by the discharge. It lea notorious
fact, that, as our great guns are now made, it is im
possible to charge them with as much powder as
their ponderous proieetiles really require, without
imminent peril of the bursting of the weapon.

Fire at Fort McHenry.
(Special Correspondence of The Press.)
FORT MCRENRY, NEAR BALTIMORE, BID.,
March 13, 1563.
This morning about 11 o'clock a fire took place at
this post, resulting in some trifling loss to the Go
vernment and considerable loss to some of the of
ficers of the garrison. A few weeks since, the build
ings formerly used as magazines at the post were
emptied of their contents, with the exception of a'
few "tire balls,' , and changed into quarters for the
officers of the companies which recently arrived here.
These buildings were fraline,and each about one
hundred feet in length, divided' of into small com
partments for the use of the officers and their messes.
New stoves had been placed in the buildings but a
few days ago, and holes were made in the partitions
for the pipes to enter the chimneys, which were
some considerable distance from where the store'
taxi ;AIM ;;LE Br=a 4,
munleala ifself to Me NVOO,I partitions ffhtek 4W2Gre .
tended along on each side.
The building in which the fire originated was
occupied by the officers of two companies of the 18th
Connecticut infantry; battery H, of the 152 d Regi
ment Pennsylvania volunteers, and two companies
of the Bth New York volunteer artillery, and one
lieutenant of the sth New York artillery, who was
under arrest in one of the rooms in which the fire
first originated. Directly opposite the rooms in
which the fire commenced was the mess of Captain
W. D. Rank, consisting of Leutenants W. RE. Kun
kel and Neilson. Captain Rank, at the time the tire
commenced, was inside the fort, and, consequently
being absent .from his room, most of his clothing,
side arms, Sc., were burned before they could be
rescued, as the fire, once started, communicated
to the fire balls which are used for the purpose of
setting fire to such of as they may come in con
tact with, and burned like so much "gun-cotton."
Lieutenants Kunkel and Neilson, of the 162 d, were
in their room at the moment that the fire first made
its appearance, and it was only with great difficulty
that these gentlemen saved some of their most valu
able erects, sustaining some personal injuries.
The officers in the other portions of the building
were equally unfortunate. Some of them escaped
with what they had upon their backs only, others
with merely their clothing, leaving their company
books and papers to the flames. Indeed, it may be
considered fortunate that some of them eseapbd with
their lives. End the fire taken place in the night,
undoubtedly Henri)] lives would have 'men lost.
The offieere of the gth New Jemy, And those of
the 18th ConneetLeut, escaped, with one or two ex
ceptions, with most of their. effects; but those of
Battery "II," of the 152 d Pennsylvania Volunteers,
were not quite so fortunate.
The loss will fall, rather heavily upon some of
these officers, who, among their property, lost their
pay-rolls, which had just been made out. The loss
on ithe part of the Government will probably be
covered by $2,000. But a few weeks since nearly
one hundred tons of ammunition was stored in this
building.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 13.—A. few days since two
sergeants arrested four deserters in Clark county,
Illinois. On their way to the cars with the men in
charge, the sergeants were arrested by a constable,
taken before Judge Constable, of the Court of Com

no punishment can be too severe.
Hereafter any commissioned officer, or officers, in
command of a- party engaged on scouting, outpost,
or picket duty,.who shall be surprised, and any of
the party under his or their command taken prison
ers, will be recommended for dismissal, the non-com

they, together - with the other enlisted men of the
party surprised, will be charged on their next mus

have been enthisted, and which shall have been cap

On Friday weelLa motion was made in the House
of Representatives, .at Harrisburg, to grant the nse
of the Hall for the reception of Hon. Andrew John
son,. the noble and patriotic Union Governor of
Tennessee, and ex• Governor Wright of Indiana.
Shameful to'say, such a hatred of the Union exists
among a minority : of the memberi that that usual
compliment was refused. It requireda vote of two-
thirds to suspend the rules to pass the motion, and
the admirers of Jetferson Davis, although in a mi
nority, succeeded in defeating the proposition. Some
of them are heartily ashamed of their action now,
and endeavors are•made to suppress the publication
of the yeas and nays. We have procured them,

portemonnaie wee gone. It contained, besides some
small .ebange, two twenty-dollar Treasury notes.
Search was made for the book, and it was finally
found on the floor. The Treasury notes, however,
were among the missing. The reason why the ac

was found in her room, where somebody must have
taken .it. The accused denied the charge in the
moat emphatic terms. ThOworthy magistrate, how
