PARSON BROWNLOW IN CINCINNATIHI!! SPEECH. The Cincinnati Oaiette gives a lengthy account of the reception of Parson Brownlow in that city, on Friday last, together with his speech The speech was delivered at the Merchants' Exchange, during the afternoon, in response to an invitation of a select committee of tne Chamber of Commerce Mr Brownlow waa introduced to the memhere by the President of the Chamber, and then addressed them as follows : I am aorry. gentlemen and fellow-aitiians, that I am not in a condition to make yen even a short speech I have been aecustomed for thirty-five jears to making public apeeches, and hare only failed in tne art dnring the past three years, while Buffering from a Bronchial affection of the throat. I am getting better, however, and although for two years part I could hardly ?pe*k above a whisper, I can now make myself heard at the distance of a few feet, particularly when I am talking on Disunion?for I never get on that subject that God, in hia providence, does not increase the volume of my voice. In addition to my other sufferings, I have mu idhitm >icu iu a usiup, giuumjr jail, snui oat from the fresh air and free exercise, for three month? This has been hard on me. who waa always accustomed to jump high?r, fall flatter and squall louder than any other man in Tennessee, [cheers, j always saying what I pleased, going where I pleased, and coming when I pleased. For three months I have beer, kept in close confinement, and the only favor allowed me was that my little son should bring me my meals three times a day. The food that wis given my fellow-prisoners by the offioers in charge of the jail was the foulest offal from the hotel. No truo Virginian weald give such food to his dog. My food was prepared by my wife, and was brought to me by my little son in a little basket. The officers in charge used to take this basket, lift off the napkin, examine between the plates and watch all my movements to see that some little bit of paper containing information from my friends was not concealed in the basket, and when I had finished my meal, the same examination was made to see that I did not communicate with them The only information I obtained was from my little son, who would whisper to mo that a fight had occurred here, or an engagement there, but no details whatever were given me, for they charged that in the absence of (Jov. Johnson and Horace Maynard. that i was at the bottom of the conm.tracv and the leailinv ?nirir in nnrvnaitir.n tn iLe Southern Confederacy I, however, entered into a learned diplomatie correspondence with a little miserable Jew, named Judith P. Benjamin, the s-s-called Secretary of War of the bogus Confederacy. In that correspondence I have the vanity to believe that I got the better of him. This correspondence has never been printed, although now that I am at the North, I shall take the opportunity to lay it before the public. In that correspondence he stipulated to let me out. He said I was a baa man, and a dangerous man to the Southern Confederacy; and. said he. "I have directed Major General Geerge B. Crittenden to send you through the lines to the people you serve." "Agreed." said I; ,;I propose to do for the Southern Confederacy what the devil never did?quit the country." (Cheers I About the time I was ready to start, an inferior officer came in with warrant for my arrest. Holding in my pocket the passport of the Secretary of War ef the bogus Government of the Southern Confederacy, and the order for my removal signed by Crittenden, I declined to notice the warrant. This officer, a little upstart named James C. Ramsey, seised upon me, and swearing to his own warrant, the perjured villain, that I had committed treason against the Bute of Tennessee in writing a certain editorial which was published in the Knoxville Whig, and which, mark you, was printed May 24, one month before the ordinance of secession was passed and Tennessee had passed into the Southern Confederacy. and yet this was treason to the State. I was taken out of the bands of the military authorities, denied a trial, and thrust into Jail on the affidavit of this miserable, debauched little puke. The brigadier general aomman.lin? at Era*. Till* came in to see me one day. The prisoners all rallied around to hear what was said. He said " Brownlow, yon ought not to be here " "I thiok so, too,1'said I. "Now,'1 ays be. 'come along with me, and we will make it all right. We will go up to Judge Humphrey, at the ooart-house, and you cao take the oath of allegiance to the Southern Confederacy I turned round to him at this insulting proposition "Sir," said I, " before I,will take the oath of allegianoe to the Southern Confederacy to obtain my freedom. I will rot in jail with disease, or die with old age. Nay. more?I deny that you hare a Governr ? . ?? - - - - mem; i. aeny mat 700 are aat&onzed to administer the oath of allegiance to your rotten mob Government, which no Power un earth will ever recognise Before I will do to, I will s#? the entire Southern Confederacy in hell, and voa and I on the top of it. |Great oheer"U little valley, fort? miles wide and about sixty miles long, of which Knoxrille is the center, is fall of such Union men and women. Whan I came away, the jail of Knoxrille was fall of Union men. I was there in jail when theT took my companions oat and hung them 1 did not see them hang, because this was done over the hill; but I saw them go out, with the bUck poplar coffins, and the soldiers would turn round, and pointing to Brownlow, would say, "You will swing next." My reply was, " I am ready to be hung, and all I want is on< hour under the gallows, to give the pedicree of these men." I expected to be htmg. end had made up mj mind to it. I ?u told that the drum-head eimrt-marti*I lacked one vote of confirming my doom, and that waa the vote of a Seoesaioni?t. No man ever came eo near being hunj and wu not. One of my oompaniona, A.

Poor Hawn was placed on th? ryvatviu, ?uu ? uiioviauiv, VIHUAQU VI on* of the southern regiment* vu sent to at tand him.

I tell you to day, upon the honor of a man, that the Southern army and ita hangers-on have atolen more negroes in Virginia, Teanessee, and Kentuoky during tha past nix months than the Abolitionists have enticed or aidad away in the laat forty years, and today, so help me God ! one-half tha soldiers in the South never owned a slave er were ever related by vhe ties of eonaanguinity with any one that ever did. [Cheers 1 They are the offscourings of the lowest order of society, the meaneat set of cowards on the faoe of the earth. Look how thev fled at Fishing Croak. and everywhere alaa when the Union army got after them. This is my first effort at speaking in four months, and I find that I am getting hoar?e and must stop. Thank God' I can now see daylight. This wicked rebellion is about played ont; all that is needed to finish the work is "a little moro grape, Capt. Bragg." PREWTICEAPIA. The Southern Government is all the time issuing proclamations. It talks too muoh. We are disposed to say to it a* the man said to his wife when the was speaking her parting words to him in her last moments?"Pooh pooh! don't trouble yourself to talk, but go on with your dying." Tha rebels are glad to exchange their Jeff Davis money for Aba Lincoln money and pay sixty per cent premium. They are getting to think that eld Abe's face upon the Treasury notes is a perfect beauty Those enemies of Gen. McCIellan that m?st fiercely longafor his defeat are not in the Southern Confederacy. We wish they were. There are 260 distilleries in two distriots alone in South Carolina. Not only "the Southern heart" but the Southern brain seems iiKeiy to oe "area." It is fine spring weather with us, bat as for the rebels, "now is the winter of their disoontent." The number of Union men in Kuhrille is increasing daily and rapidly. The men of the Union army must be admirable eleotioneerers. It is Mid that the rebels don't go to church now at all. Thev hare seven days per week of "humiliation," but not one day of "prayer." We have heard a great many Generals deDAnni>?j fnr rnfinln* Knt (! > ? - - - ? '? ?j ) WW VI wu. ittUVlVI" lan ia abused because hii enemies ran away. Within the last few weeks the rebels hare keen driven from four Gibraltar*, five Thermepyluss, and any number of Quebecs. It is said that the Merrimac's prow ww? no matoh for the Monitor's prowess. Floyd has just bravery enough to steal guns, and far too little to stand before them. We trust to our Foote. The rebels troops trust to their feet. The Eransville Journal thinks that the peopie's oonfidonce in Fremont as a military man U nerer been shaken. We are not sure they ever had any to s'lake. But we e?rnestly hope that the "Pathfinder" will fulfil the highest expectations of hia admirers. The telegraph informs as that the Provisional Government of Kentuoky ia now located in a Sibley tent near Orittenden's headquarters at Hantgrille, Alabama. It aeems to have adopted a regular nomadic life, always ready to more and to Fold their tents like the Arabs, And ai lenUy steal away. The ohronlc disease of the Southern Confederacy ia getting worse and worae. Its last evacuation the one at New Madrid, was a bloody one. Yon may think what yen please, ladies and fsntlemen of Memphis, bat we tell you Com. oote is "the coming man." At the last dates, Humphrey Marshall was resting his immense flanks upon two ooatiguoas hills beyond Pound Gap. Ah what would not the Confederate authorities fire, in these day* of rebel fopacity, for one standing army ? The Southern Confederacy oan't be "pat to her tram pa," for she has played them ail oat. The New Orleans Delta says that "the Yankees are down npon wooden Teasels." New , Orleans had better believe they will soon be down'' upon gunboats and mortar-boats. One aooount says that Gen. Bragg is at PenI sacala, another that he is at Norfolk, another that he is at Island No. 10. No doubt Rebel Bragg m*J be fo*nd wherever there are Rebel*. 1 It ia becoming a very common expression i among the rebel troop*,th*t the moat fertunate thing that ooold befall them would be their capture u priaonera of war by oar forcea.

Woodstock, April We have driven the enemy to-day from Strausburg to Woodstock, a distance of twelve mllea, and then to Edlnbur?, aeven mllea beyond. He conteated the marcn moat of the way, and at a strong poaltlon at which he contemplated making a atand,aaat Edlnburg, quite a sharp contest occurred. He burned the bridge* In nla flight, except that at a narrow paaaage which we were enabled to reach in time to extinguish the flamea. We loot bat one man and had but one wounded The enemy suffered more, but I cannot atate the extent. Col. Aahbv received a ahot through hla cap, which he exhibited with aorce satisfaction to the people of Woodstock Others suffered more severely. our men behaved amirably during tbeadvance of yeaterday Our skirmishers were frequently fired upon by the rear guard of Jackson's retreating force We shelled them through the town as often as they appeared In range. After passing the bridge over Stony creek they set fire to it, but our troops arrived In time to save It Also, another pike t'ldgeandtbe railroad bridge, all In two miles this side of Edlnburg. Our artillerists endeavored, but unsuccessfully, to prevent tbe destruction, by pouring Into the enemy showers of shell. The Richmond Enquirer of the 27th places our loss at the Winchester battle at 1,300 to 1,5(<0, and theirs at 350 to 400. Among their casualties, Col. T. L. Moore, of Winchester, and T. H. Towner, of the General Assembly, were killed, and Col. Echols, of the -27th Virginia regiment, wounded. The '2d Virginia regiment lost 100 men. Interesting frana the Fleet off Sa?antah. Philadelphia, April 2.?A private letter received here, dated on board the U. 8. gunboat Seminole, says that the Seminole, Wyandotte and Norwich, under command of Captain Gllles, senior officer, proceeded up Wilmington river and arriving within a mile of the rebel batteries, dispersed the rebel cavalry by throwing shell, after which the batteries were shelled. The rebel force fled inglorlously, leaving everything behind, even their dinners. Capt.

A correspondent of the Missouri Democrat, writes from Island No. 10, gives the following account of a gallant achlvement by Lieut. Allen, of the Twenty-seventh Illinois Regiment: "In a former letter I wrote of a contemplated attempt on the part of Lieut. Allen, of Company C, of the Twenty-seventh Illinois, to spike thguns of the upper Rebel fort at this place, christened, we have been told, Port Polk. This bold task waa undertaken last Friday night, when the Lieutenant, In company with four other men, dropped down In a skit and found a large body of Rebels at work constructlngplatforms for supporting their cannon. "The Lieutenant resolved not to be totally disappointed, and landing, very ooolly approached a senttn?l, who was pacing a parapet at tha lower extremity ef the fort,and, reprraenting himself as a brother rebel, remarked: 'i will relieve you from duty now, sir.' The rei-el guard, wearied and thankful, moved eff to hl? q uarters, when the Lieutenant spiked the 64-po?nder at the lower part of the fort, which was served with such accuracy against us on last Monday The proximity of the laboring rebels w <nld not suffer him to pioaerute any further a work which had already proven him a daring officer " Southern Jockxals in Lite land?It Is Instructive to read the commenu of those English guns which are written in the int#rp?? ?>? rebels, on the recent Union victories !n the West. The London Herald says Port Donelson and Fort Henry are, it appear*, mere earthworks, which were thrown up last sumrrer, sod goes on to demonstrate that General Grant made a great mistake In attacking those places, because he must be overwhelmed by Polk's army from Columbus. The Saturday Review, which some months ago held that the South could not be brought back to the Union "because It was unanimous," now, having heard of Union demonstrations in the Southwest, says: " The rumors of enthusiasm shown for the Union in Kentucky and Tennessee are neither trustworthy nor important. It is highly probable that there was in many of the States a strong feeling against disruption, and It is more certain that in every dispute numerous converts are readv to desert to the stronger side. It is Immaterial wneiner ine suuioern population wa* unanimous." An Axxivsksart.?Some "contraband*," who recently escaped from Charleston, South Carolina, state that the people of that city expect it will be attacked on the 15th of April byan overwhelming land and naval force; and that thus the anniversary of the fall of Sumter will be celebrated by the capture of the Palmetto metropolis. This is a pleasant idea for them to dwell upon, certainly, whether correct or not. WHY DON'T YOU GO TO NIGHT (nth. TV Fair at Parker's Hall.
