and study. For awhile, when the Confederates held Knoxville, the family were absent, having joined the head of it, then in exile. In the gratification of a petty spite toward the stanch patriot, General E. Kirby Smith, when in Knoxville, stabled a pair of mules in Dr. Brownlow's library. When Buckner was holding East Tennessee, at the time Burnside entered it from Kentucky, he had his Headquarters at the pleasant House of the unflinching Unionist, and member of the National Congress, Horace Maynard, on main Street. accompanied by Colonel John Bell Brownlow, then editing his father's newspaper, the Knoxville, Whig, and also by several young Union officers, whose courtesy we can never forget. On the morning of the 23d May, 1866. we rode to the railway station, behind the large, stout, black family horse of Governor Brownlow, which bore General McClellan through his campaigns in Western Virginia; and in company with Colonel Brownlow and Captain A. W. Walker, one of the most noted o

march we put up at an unusually comfortable farm-house, where we saw several good-looking young women and small children dipping snuff, and apparently enjoying it. We were everywhere received with generous but unpretending hospitality. The best was placed freely at our disposal. Forage for our horses, with food and shelter for ourselves, were never denied, and it was often with difficulty that we could make our host take pay for it. In the latter part of our ride we had the company of Horace Maynard, a loyal citizen, who gave us much interesting information about the State and its people. It was during this ride, perhaps the longest we ever took together, that Dana beguiled our journey with an almost continuous disquisition on history, romance, poetry, and practical life. His extraordinary memory for the great passages of both prose and poetry of all ages and all countries struck me at the time as phenomenal. His quotations were both apt and endless, and as they were delivered

drum beats and the guard must obey. August 14.—Another day of intense suffering. Marched thirteen miles. Left camp at 3 o'clock this morning and crossed Clinch river at Clinton at 8 o'clock. The country through which we have passed to-day is thoroughly Union in sentiment, it being a rare exception to meet a good Southern man. The inhabitants are very poor and illiterate and it is not surprising that they have imbibed the principles of that precious pair of traitors, Andy Johnson and Horace Maynard. August 15.—The troops have suffered terribly to-day. A heavy shower of rain fell last night, and blankets and knapsacks were thoroughly soaked. My tremendous load worried me considerably and it was hard to keep up with the regiment. We marched through the little village of Jacksboro this morning, where only two families of Southern principles reside. Here we heard the first cheer for Jeff. Davis, and saw the first white handkerchief waved since we left Knoxville. The face of the

[Special dispatch to the Richmond Dispatch.]arrival of Senator Douglas and lady — enthusiastic reception — speeches, &c. Lynchburg, Va., Nov. 29. --Senator Douglas and lady arrived here on, the Tennessee train to-night. He spoke from the balcony of the Norvell House to a crowd of near 2,000 persons. The subject discussed by him was the present state of affairs in the country.--He thought the election of Lincoln no cause for a dissolution of the Union. He was for fighting in the Union and under the Constitution; thought Southern Congressmen should resume their seats in Congress, otherwise the Republican party would be in the majority.--They (the Republicans) are now powerless. Horace Maynard, of Tennessee, who accompanied Mr. Douglas, made a strong conservative speech, and endorsed all Senator Douglas had said. Both speeches were applauded moderately. Their personal receptions were enthusiastic. They are en route to Washingto

aper manufactory is shortly to be established at New Orleans, to supply the growing demand. The required capital has been subscribed at New Orleans, and the factory is to be located on the line of the Jackson Railroad. The newspapers in the seaport cities of the South have been openly noticing the movements of privateers. It is an unwise practice. Hon. Thomas A. R. Nelson is a candidate for the Confederate Congress from the First Congressional District, East Tennessee, and Hon. Horace Maynard from the Second. O. R. Lane has been arrested at Memphis for stealing 30,000 gun caps from the State factory at Nashville, Tenn. He deserves capital punishment. A report has reached Memphis that the office of the Louisville Courier, a sterling Southern Journal, was mobbed on Saturday last. Mr. Frederick Jones, of Gates county, N.
