The Nashville Daily Union

A Stirring Letter from Parson Brownlow.

Great Enthusiasm in the North! The Rebellion to be put down, though the whole race of Rebels and their Sympathisers be Exterminated—Permanent prosperity of the loyal States— Tremendous pouring of Volunteers

We have the pleasure of laying before our readers a rousing and animating letter from Parson Brownlow, who is travelling over the North. To make a longer preface to the Parson's letter would be as impertinent as a two hours grace over a good feast surrounded by a crowd of hungry men.

Crosswicks, N. J., Aug. 30, 1862.

To the Editor of the Nashville Union:

I am looking on at the storm as it rages -not doing much myself, but feeling as deep and lively an interest in all that passes, as any other man. The result of my observations, and of my constant enquiries is, that the thing will work out right, to the credit of the Government and to the utter overthrow of the Rebel forces. The question is only one of time. How long this Government will be engaged in putting down the Rebellion, I am not able to say, but that it will crush it out, I feel perfectly confident

The Southern papers abuse "Lincoln and his Abolition Government," for their attempt to subjugate their people -by which they mean Lincoln and his Cabinet. I assure you, Mr. Editor, and the conductors of Southern journals, that Lincoln and his Cabinet, are far behind the real people of the loyal States, in their zeal to prosecute this war to a successful termination, and in their resolute purpose to crush out the last vestige of the rebellion, at any cost of blood and treasure. I have had as good an opportunity of learning the public feeling and determination of the great body of the people of the North, as almost any other man could have in the same length of time. For five months past I have been canvassing the North-western, Middle and New England States, speaking to, conversing with, and mingling with all classes of men. The people are determined that this war shall be prosecuted until this rebellion is crushed out, and the Union is restored They will now soon have Twelve Hundred Thousand armed men in the field: and when these fall, there are Twelve Hundred Thousand more ready to take their places. Let these be killed off, and there are Twelve Hundred Thousand young men and boys, in schools and colleges, ready to take their places. Let the deluded masses of the South, at the bidding of their vile leaders, and base and desperate men, rush on to battle, and take the consequences. In the end, they will find that they are rushing on to their graves.

I have been in Philadelphia for the last ten days, and the rush of armed and uniformed troops, to Washington, daily, has been a grand and exciting spectacle! There have gone through to Washington, every day, from four to five thousand troops, and still they are going. In this calculation I say nothing of the thousands going by way of Harrisburg, and sailing round by water, and landing at other points. And, as a general thing these are the best class of men in the Northern States

And supplies are not more abundant than are arms, provisions, and money, and all are poured out with the freedom of water, and will continue to be. Crops here never more abundant than they are in all portions of the loyal States. The whole country is flooded with money, and money that is good, and eagerly seized upon The money and credit of the Government know no bounds. Goods for clothing the army are abundant, and of the best quality.

I rejoice to know that the President, as well as the Governors of all the States, the Army officers, and the real people have entered in earnest upon the vigorous discharge of the imperative responsibilities of their stations-that of putting down this infernal rebellion, though it require the whole race of rebels and their sympathising friends to be exterminated And having now gone to work in earnest, the determination is, not to stay their hands until the disloyal in every State and the murderous bands of guerrillas everywhere cry for quarters!

The city of Philadelphia has now made up, together with the contributions from other sources, ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS, to pay over as bounty to her new recruits, and to their families The same work, upon a similar scale, is going on in all the cities and towns: and poor men feel that in going into the service, their wives and children will not suffer

A new Iron-clad war steamer, has just sailed from Philadelphia, under sealed orders, and will wake up somewhere South before long. She is said to be the master monster of the deep! She is manned by 500 men, exclusive of officers, and certain rifle cannon, carrying a ball weighing 250 pounds. The breech of these terrible guns looks like a hogshead! It is said they will throw solid shot six miles!

I see Mr. Editor, that the ruffians and robbers of the Rebel army are having a good time of it in portions of Kentucky and Tennessee. Their sudden dashes are selfishness run mad, they are chivalry pushed to the extreme of suicide Let them eat, drink, and be merry now, for to-morrow they must die. An army of Union men will soon be in Kentucky and Tennessee, to clean out these swine hoards, and to punish, as I trust all who give them aid and comfort

Hoping to see this hell-begotten Rebellion put down, and its hell-deserving originators hanged, I have the honor to be

Yours truly,
W. G. BROWNLOW.
