Senator Bbownlow.?TheLynehburg Virginian says: "As announced by telegraph, Senator Wm, G. Brownlow passed through this oity Saaday morning, on the 4.20 train, en route to his home in Enoxville, Tenn. To see him, one would wonder what keeps him alive. Thin, pale and ema? ciated, and shaking with palsy, the poor old palterer, deprived of motion, was borne from the Orange to the Tennessee train by the assistance of three gentle? men, and as carefully seated as though he wore a wounded soldier borne from the sanguinary confliatr. He was cleanly shaved, attired in a block suit, and woro a white slouch hat, drawn- over his fore? head. He Is, to all outward appearance, a human wreck, and it is more than pro? bable that he has made his last visit to the Senate Chamber.

The Modehn Leandkh.?Abont ten days since, a white man, giving his name as Joseph Taylor, was brought in from Horn Lake by some citizens, who oharged him with being a horse thief. He was turned over to Chief Atby, who locked him up. The following day, a well known lawyer visited Captain Athy, and claimed to know Taylor, and vouch? safed for him as a well-to-do and respect? able citizen. His name, the lawy er said, was Tucker, and be liyed near Pratt's Mills, in Do Soto County, Mississippi. The lawyer accounted for his presence and suspicious actions near Horn Lake, by stating that Tucker was engaged in an amour near that place, and changed I his name to -avoid detection. As there Was nothing against the man bnt suspi? cions. Chief Athy, upon the lawyer's statement, released him, at the same time writing to Sheriff Daily, of Do Soto County, making inquiry concerning Tucker.
