Horace Maynard and Andrew Johnson. --The Nashville Gazette is responsible for the following: Several years ago we were present at a political meeting in the city of Nashville, listening attentively to an eloquent speech from a tall man, with an exceedingly ugly and forbidding countenance. A stranger in the crowd, evidently better pleased with the speech than with the speaker, touched us gently, and, in a whisper, asked: "Who is that?" The reply, "Horace Maynard, of Knoxville, sir," gave the stranger room to make a remark, and he made it. "Well," said he, in a peculiarly soft and quiet way, "He is the meanest looking man in the State, except Ansee," we answered. Giving what he had to remark the emphasis of words rude to cars polite, our friend then gave it as his firmly, settled conviction that Andrew Johnson was the meanest looking man in the State, except Horace Maynard." Now, who that has seen and treason — can decide which of the two has the meanest physiognomy?

Horace Maynard have been urging this movement vehemently, as essential to the salvation of the Union men of East Tennessee. Readers are supposed to be familiar with their arguments. I will not therefore, recapitulate. But the rumor of movements caused much enthusiasm among the Tennesseeans, whose anxiety to return to their homes is intense — Their desire is paramount. Every other feeling is merged in it. I placed no confidence in the report, because we cannot move. This column is not strong enough to invade Tennessee. To be sure there is no enemy at the Gap, excepting a small garrison,

Affairs in East Tennessee. --Doings of Brown low and Maynard.--Intelligence from Knoxville shows pretty clearly that the Yankees contemplate a permanent occupation of East Tennessee. The Atlanta Register has the following information of affairs there: W. G. Brownlow and Horace Maynard had both reached the city, and had pronounced characteristic addresses before the populace. John Brownlow, a Lieutenant-Colonel, is with his father. In fact, Brownlow and Maynard have brought with tMaynard have brought with them their families. They surely deem their occupation of East Tennessee permanent. The ferocity of Brownlow is fearful. His violence was never comparable to its exhibitions which have occurred since his arrival at Knoxville. He evidently deems hhat it was the only religious publication in the South, and that even it was not hurt with piety." The speech of Horace Maynard was hardly less violent than that of Brownlow. He was especially denunciatory of the Messrs. McClung and other citi

killing thirteen and wounding twenty-three, aside from the capture of ninety-five prisoners and several fine horses. It was near the battery Gen. Vaughn had his horse shot from under him. In the charge we had one man killed and four wounded. The enemy opened heavily on our columns with their artillery, but to little effect. The enemy were thus forced back within one mile and a quarter of Knoxville. We have since learned, to our amusement, that cowardly Hill Brownlow, and abolition Horace Maynard, accompanied by their sutlers and their stores, and their favorite pet, Andy Knott, left for Kentucky the night following the engagement. The greatest confusion prevailed in the city. After this unrivalled charge was made but little was done but the exchange of a few shots from the batteries. The entire command was withdrawn some three miles with the exception of some pickets. Early on the morning of the 16th Gen. Wheeler moved forward to feel the enemy's position, but found them
