J. KIMU. RoiltrsTllls, Jan. IT, 1S, ii lev it Washington Correspondence of the Fremont Journal. Letter from Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 26, 1862. Ms. Editor: It is now more than two wcalci since the grand army of tlie Potomac Martrd to make tli advsnce, and ret nothing; haa been done mil. to capture tha cunleaa for la of Cen tre viilo and Mauaiwaa. It is not a little disgusting to witness the manner in which eertnin editors wish to delude their readers bj a short paragraph now going tha rounds ia their pa.

paper, in which it ia stated on tha authority of iwu isuiunuis, mat no wooa en guns have been discovered at Manawiaa. Thia ia true; no one aaid ther were discovered at Manama; but they uwrvarf CtntrerWe. The fraud perpetrated by these editors, eonsista in so mixing up Centre-rilln and Manamas, aa to make them appenr to lie one and tho same place although they are even inilea apart. This ia fair specimen of the way in which there pro-secession editors tell the troth on erery thing having a political bearing, which does not originate with them. This ia the manner in which aomo two years nince they represented tho prospective course of Republicanism.

The Southern papers copied their representations and the South believed tbein. Hence ths readiness with which they entered into tha rebellion. It ia a well known fact that the arguments now used against the Government, were tho arguments firet used by thece editors against Republicanism. They were flamed ao aa to be aa irritating as poeaibia to the Southern mind. They are just as true snd valid now againat the Government, as tboy were too years since against Republicanism, so that we must conclude that these editors have done their full share toward creating our present troubles.

The leading editors South, know that tha design of breaking up the Democratic party, was to bring on a rebellion and break down our He-publican institutions, and establish in their stead institutions of a Monarchical character. This fact they would not dare make known to their own readers, because they could not suite even the South on such question ss that In looking about them to see how they could bring the mind of the Sotilh to tho- rebelling' point, withouttelling what they really intended, they discovered that certain Northern papers in opposition to tho Republican party, furnished them with ull Iho necessary material to influence the minds of the coolest Southern people to the needed heat and opposition. All they bad to do was to quote from the aforesaid North ern papers. These arc the same papers which now detail falsehoods, such as the one alluded to above, snd they ore the same papers which have been so very zealous for the reputation of McClellan. uno very significant fact 1 will mention, and your readers may draw their own inference.

Uur army was within one day march of the rebels, nncl so remained for more than six months. They knew what our force was. They knew that our army was vastly superior to tliem both in nuniDersand equipments, most ol the time being nearly three to thoir one, and some of the time a greater proportion in our favor. Yet, in spite of ull these facts, they went to work and built themselves good log dwellings put board floors into them, had good bunks nailed up along tho walls, furnishing good dry sleeping places iortneir nieu. in very iiintiy places tney had board walks from one building to another.

They had out-door ovens, and were in the act of building more when tlicy began their flight thus showing, by Continuing their improve ments, that they intended to remain much Ion ger. Now I ask, with these facts before us, is it within the range of human possibility to sup pose that the rebels would go to work and put up these conveniences, unless they had an un derstanding that they would have the use of them sufficiently long to compensate them for the labor of preparing them? They may be tgnorani, ot jnovincrn courage, out they are not ignorant 01 common business ruJos; the men are. he officers are not. They knew very well that our army, by otic day 's march, could come upon them, and take these buildings and use them for their own com fort. Yet notwithstanding all these facts were well known to them, they wcut to work and built themselves good comfortable quarters.

The only way to explain such an unusual course on their part, is liy supposing that they had au-thoritive intimation that they would be permitted to remain long enough in the use. of their improvements to tnako it a paying operation. Who gave them such an intimation may yet be discovered. It is certain no loyal man did, and besides that there aro but two parties who could give them this information. The Prcsidont is one of the parties, and of course he did not do it.

The rebels were in winter troops were not. Just notice in thin connection the deceit practised upon our people. We were told all through last Fall during the fine weath er, that our army should not go into winter quarters, and told that, too, by the General who assumed to command tho United Slates Army, It is very plain now that he never intended to move his army this whole winter, if he ever Intended to move it at all. The word "quartern," in military usage, means building; and when the General said the troops thould not go into win ter quarters, lie intended to say I hey should live In tents all winter instead of buildings. When the General promised that the troops should not go into winter quarters, we outsiders nil considered it a promise of a forward move through the winter.

We dm not then see. as we see now. that this was a mere play upon the use of the word "quarters" to stop the popular clamor for a forward movement. It is doubtful if the President saw the trick. If he had seen it.

or suspected it, his order to move tho army would must ii.cir emtio on ine Vila ol September instead of on the 27th of Jannarv. This i. another specimen of the means made use of to procure delay in behalf of compromise. Gen. McClellan speaks in his address tn hi.

army, of sharing their privations with them, sc, ao. in the following manner ho exhibits his mode of so doing, lie, and his stuff, have for their own accommodation thirty-five four horse wagons loaded with the "privations" which he and they have to endure. Kach company of men, numueriug irotn ou to juu men. nave oaa four horse wagon to carry their necessaries. Now it will not need much arithmetic tp cipher out the immeasurable distance between their privations and bis comforts.

So much accustomed have we been, as a people, to bow down to Southern rule and dictation that even now, under a Republican Ad-ministration, we have men elected by the Re. publican party to the United State's Senate who render themselves supremely disgusting by their toadying to Border State' influence, thus hoping to show their great fitness and conservatism, so as thereby to gain a seat en the Su Bench of the United States Court. hey strive to surpass one another in bestow. ment of favors and compliments upon 'he Bur. der State Senatore, Tbey try to see great and immense difficulties in the way of confiscation.

They take as naturally to the Border State men aa yoong duek doea to water. Anyone of these competitors for Judicial advancement would, if oa the bench, auslsin the Dred Seott deciaion, or any decision that that fogy i st of all Judge Judge Taney, woulii make. These men are, in their voting, as uncertain on the questions in which the Border States have an interest, aaany dungh-face ever waa ia his voting on the question of Slsvery. They would to-morrow have no objection tn letting the Border Slave States dictate the manner in which the war ought to be conducted; nor to let them have the parceling out all tha Government offices; nor would they be opposed to letting them dictate the terms on h.h rebels should como back into the Union pro. vidud the Nertli would do all the fighting and wy esU UJD II IB.

Davis of Kentucky. Bayard Saulsburw the Maryland Senators oppose emancipation in the Distriet of Colombia ia the strongest manner, and claim that Congress haa no right to touch it. The Missouri and Virginia members will vote with them, and it may be that aome of our so-called Republicans will vote with tbein ttltilftj. P. S.

Sines writing the above, the battla at Winchester haa beea reported. You may aet that down to the pluck ol Qen. Shields; it was pan or tne frtmt jefofv I a I is in It to to of Speech of Parson Brownlow. Tb Nashville papers publish the following speech of ParsoiC BnowjtLOW, deliver-4 in front of the St. Cloud Hotel, Nashville, on the eveniog of tha 17th itisU It has th gonuino old Brownlow ring.

Ho has been caged by tb rebels, Dot conquered. Browolow said: Oebtlemeit: I am in Md plight (o fly much of interest too thoroughly in-capacitated to do justico to you or myself. My throat has been disordered for tho past three yearn, and I have been compelled to Almost abandon ptiblio speaking. Last December I wn thrust into so uncomforlA-bio and disagreeable jn.il for what! Treason! Treason to the bogus Confederacy; Bnd tho proofs of that treason were articlos which appeared in tho Knoxville tying in May last, when tbe State of Tennessee was a momber of the i in perishable Union. At the experation of four weeks, became a victim of iho typhoid fever, and was removed to a room in a decent dwelling, and a guard of seven mon kept mo company.

I subsequently became so week tbat 1 could not turn over in my bed, and tho guard was increased to twelve mon, for fonr I should suddenly recover and run away to Kentucky: Becoming convalescent, in a measure, I was removed to my former place of confinement. One day I was visited by some Confederate officers, who remarked, "Brownlow, you should not bo here. Take the oath of allegiance to the Confederate Government, which will not only entitle you to aspoedy release, but insuro your protection." "Sir 1" 8id I "before I would lake the oalh to support such hell-forsaken would Buffer myself to rot, or to dio with old ago." vv ny, my friends, tuose demagogues act ually boast that tbe Lord is upon their side. and declare that God Almighty is assisting wicm in mo iiirtncranco ol tlicir nefarious project. In Knoxville and surrounding localities, a short time since daily prayer meetings were held, wherein tho Almighty was t.CAMl.n1 1 tl I 1 1 iaviviiv-u iv mioo XJIIIUWIIIS U1UCHHUP, UUQ to hurl destruction against tho Burnsido Expedition.

Their prayers were partly answored tho blockade nt Roanoke Island was most effectually raised; a reciprocal of their sacrilege divinely tendered. Gentlemen, I am no Abolitionist; I applaud no sectional doctrines; I nm a South ern man, and all my relatives and interests are thoroughly identified with tbe South and Southern institutions. I was born in the Old Dominion, my parents were born Virginia, and (hey and their antecedents were ail slaveholders. Let me assure yon that the South has suffered no infringement upon her institutions; tho slavery question was actually no pretext for this unholy, un righteous conflict. Twelve Senators from tho Cotton States, who had sworn to preserve inviolate the Constitution framed by our forefathers, plotted treason at night a i umo tor sucn a crime and telegraphed to thoir States dispatches advising them to pnss ordinances of secession.

Yes, gentlo-men, twelve Senators swore allegiance in tbe day time, and unsworo it at nicht. A short time sinco I was called upon bv a lit- no jew, who, i believe is the Secretary of ar oi mo bogus Uonlederacy. lie threatened to hang mo, and I expected no more mercy from him than was shown by his illustrious predecessors towards Jesus Christ. entered into a long correspondence, with this specimen of expiring humanity, but from mercy or forgotfulness on their part, I was permitted to depart with all my documents in my little valise, which I hope to ptioiisn at no distant day. Uentlemcn, when I started on my perilous journey, I was sore distressed iu mind, and exceedingly so in body.

But the moment mv eves encountered the pickets of tbe Federal" army my depression decreased and returning health seemed suddenly to invigorate my physical constitution. Uentlomen, Secession is plaved out tha dog is dead tho child is born, and his name Jeff. Davis, Jr. My throat distresses me to such an extent that I must decline further remarks this evening, but shall make myself heard on the first convenient occasion, which will probably be ere tho termination of tho prcs- eui wees. The Unionists of the Southwest.

Senator Lane, of Indiana, has lust re. eoived letters from his brother who is with the federal forces at Savannah, Tennessee. He gives a very cheering account of the people in that section of the conntry. He says that there is more decided Union feeling in that part of Tcnnosseo and tho northern portions of Alabama, than in a largo part of Kentucky. Men enough had come from Alabama to our headquarters at Savannah to form a regimont.

and an Ala bama Union regiment had been formed. will be remembered tbat throughout the entire section of country there are very fow slaveholders, and the people have no motive to war against the federal government Troops were flocking in from Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and Mississippi, with the prospect that a brigade might soon be formed of troops from the Gulf and cotton statea to fight against tbe rebellion. Other advices of a still later date confirm these statements. The mountainous regions are almost invariably loyal, as the slavebolding are certainly disloyal. 1 si maw Abuses Corrected.

The Secretary of War baa ordered that hereafter paroles shall not be granted to Fort Donelson prisoners. This puts a stop tha swagger of the uniformed snobs at Columbus, who, through the mistaken lenity of Federal officers, bate been permitted display their side arms ia the stroets, thrust their treason in tha face of citizens, and register at tba hotels as Dicers ia tbe S. The President bas also put a atop to another piece of official folly. A commission appointed by Gen. Halleok visited Chicago and prepared list of a thousand rebel who were desirous of subscribing to an oatb allegiance and being dUmissed.

President Lincoln iuterferd, and ordered that henceforth, until further instructed, officers shall not liberate prisoner under any circumstances. The Dividing Line. Mr. Arnold, of Illinois, yesterday introduced into the House of Representatives bill whose purpose Is clearly annnounccd in tho preamble, in these words: "To the end that Freedom may be and remain forever me fundamental law of the land, in all place wbstover, to far as it lies within the powor and depends upon tha action of tha government of tha United Statea to make it so." The bill prohibila slavery forever in the territoriei, in tbe forts. arsenals, dock yards, in ships on tha high ecas, ia short, "in all places whatsoever, where tha nation al government is supremo, or has exclusive jurisdiction and power," including, ot course, mo uisirici oi uoiutnbia.

Mr. Arnold's bill will, we trust, speedily be roported by the Committee oa Territories, to which it was referred, and brought to vote. It ia a clear assertion of tbe principles on which our government waa founded, and it proposes to carry out those principles in a manner entirely constitu tional and eminently wise. It has anoth er good quality, in tbat it defines sharply the position of tbia nation towards the rebels. Tbe corner-stone of tha "Southern Confederacy," aecordincr to Mr.

Stephens, is slavery ine corner-stone of oar national government is freedom. There slavery is tho rule, here freedom is the rule. So carefully does tbe bill guard the rights and privileges of tbo states that in the third paragraph of section first, slavery is prohibited in all vessels on tba high seas and on tha national highways, beyond the territory and jurisdiction of the several states from which or to which th said ves sels may be goinq. There is hero no un due assumption of power, trenching on dis pute a ground, lue more ardent opponents ri of emancipation measure, are. uch confess- edly on the ground that slavery is a local state institution, with which, where it ex.

ists in a state, the national government has no rigot to interfere. We hope, therefore, to see a gathering of the true men of all parties in favor of tins Dill. All triends of liberty can bore meet on constitutional ground, and place the government where the founders of tho Union meant it to stand, and where it stood whilo Washington, Jefforson, Madi son and other distinguished Virginians were at tho helm. Moreovor. it places us snuar- ly opposite to the onomics of tbe Union.

Thoy rebel to make slavery national; we ngut to preserve the Union as it is, with freedom national. They strivo to overthrow the consitution becauso it does not make slavery universal; we fight to maintain it, and with it the principles of liberty for which the fathers fouchU and which tbey made the corner-stone of their constitution.

March 25. Vandalism-Yankee Skill. Correspondents who have traveled from Williamsport to Winchester, Virginia, thirty-two milos speak in strong torras ofj tho withering curso of Secession. A few months ago it was one of the first sections of tho State now tho mansions and houses lie smouldering in ruins by tbe torch of Rebel incendiaries. Tbe property of the Union citizens has been givon to tho flames, .1 ana mo owoors have been compelled to floe for their lives.

At Marlinsburr? an im- mense amount of railroad property bad been destroyed, and at Winchester the railroad cars, bad been collected for tbe flames, but tho panic got tho start of tho torch. A Winchester letter of the 15th says: We bad not been in Winchester two Uours before Yankeedom was jo its element and glory. Some half dozen of Mas sachusetts soldiers doffed their knapsacks, and soon oil cans, files and hammers were in requisition. Tbe old Potomae and Vir ginia engines wero hauled out and placed in as good running order as possible under the circumstances. In loss time than it took "stone-wall Jackson" to evacuate fif teen miles of tbo Strasburg pike, whiz! went the whistle of the Potomac, and off she went with a company of the Massachu setts Thirteenth on an experimental trip to TJ .1 iinim a i crry, atinu vue cneer oi me joy ous multitude, 'lhey reached to within six miles of tbe Ferry, where tbey found two bridge to be repaired.

This will be accomplished by Monday, when wo shall once more bavn uninterrupted communica tion oy ran wun Baltimoro. Iho Union sentiment here amontr tha resident, grows stronger every day. The more tbey aee of our soldiers and officers, and learn from them tho obiect of our mis sion here, they become more inclined to duster around tbe old Union which gave them peace and plenty, instead of clinging to a Confederacy which bas brought war and almost starvation. I predict from mv observation while here, and what I learn from converse with the tbat Ibis great valley is lost to tbe Southern Confed eracy forever. Significant Topography.

A fact referred to by our Wasbinirton correspondent cannot be too often repeated if wo would understand tbo nature and character of the present war. As our for ces move forward into the mountains of North Alabama they find tbo Union feeling more decided tban inoilher West Tennessee or Kentucky. The reason is that the mountains cherish few slaveholders. Could moral thermometer be constructed to measure tbe degree of loyal sentiment in any community, it would be also a precise measure of the number of slaveholder in that community. In the district where there are no slaves there is no quarrel with toe government; where there are few slaves tho quarrel is a slight one.

but where there are many slaves there' is open insurrection. A map, known to most of our reader, which shows ia white and black tba relative proportion of the free and slave inhabitant of all tbe counties of the southern 8 La tea, show at the same time tbe relative force of the rebellion. Ia truth, a militsrv leader might direct his recruiting ser vice and military movements according to tbe indications of tbat man. In the whit parts be would find friends and assistants, and ia tbe black, enemies wboaa ualignitv tl would deepen, wun in oepm ot tba color. The Government's Investment in Arms.

This war baa caused Uncle Sam to invest pretty heavily in shooting irons of one kind or another. Tbe Secretary of War baa reported to Congress a statement of all the purchases of and contracts for arm made by tha Government since April 2, 1661, with tha particulars of such purchases, and tba prices paid also tba oorrea-poodeooa between himself and tha Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance concerning arms purchased by General Fremont.

In addition to this statement, other arms have been purchased to a limited extent, nndcr the authority given by tha Secretary of War to Governor, or oiher officers, to provide arms for volunteers, the accounts for which have not yet been rendered. The Rebel Navy.

"The Kins; of Frsnce, with forty thoneand ntsn, starched up the hill, and then marched back again." A RpmAW OrncBR.

A letter from Winchester, Va- March 16tb. from tbe Tribune's Army correspondent says: One incident showing the disposition of tbo ne groes and the treatment visited upon them by some of our officers, is too scandalous for belief. A free nogro was being questioned by an officer in regard to forage; at length he told the officer he was for tbe Union, and asked "why don't you give us arms; we'd love to fight for you." The officer seized a musket from a soldier end knocked tbe generous follow into the gutter with a blow from the butt. I have this from another officer who was an eye witness and interfered for the negro. "Jons Brows'b Bopt." If tbe Winchester (Va.) correspondent of tha New York World ia correct in bis ataUment, "John Brown's body" doe not "moulder in the grave." In a letter dated 18th inst be says: "I visited tbe medical college ia this town, where M.

D's are furnished to the Southern Confederacy. Prominent among the objects in the museum was tbe bodv of John B'own, the intecument taken off, and the muscles, veins and arteries all preserved, tbo top of tbe cranium sawn off, and the lip purposely distorted in disrespect." It must have been some other body tban that of John Brown for after the ex ecution tbe body ot Urown was taken to North Elba, N. and intered on bis own farm, where his widow now resides. Ed.

Rebel Prisoners.

All account concur in representing tbe rebel prisoners captured, whether in Miaeoc- ri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tannersee, Virginia or North Carolina, aa a very bard appearing el of rank and file. A portion of tbeee, just captured at Winchester war taken to Baltimore on tba 25 lb, and tbey are thus described: Two hundred and thirty rebel prisoners, captured at tba battla of Winchester, arrived her thi eiterrjoon, aad hare beea pre rided witb quarter ia tbe worth wingof tba new city jail, tbe roost comfortable, probably they have enjoyed for manr montha. Ther are as miserable, dirty, and about aa nnsoid- terly looking crowd as aver were seen.

Others oota- gratulated themselves at tha prospect of getting something good to eat, which tbey admitted tbey bad not had for soma tirne.
