I'nnun Itro nlo-nt ?Ief ropolitnn Hall. Metropolitan Hall last night was crowded to hear this eminent patriot. A ereat portion cf tha audience were ladies. His Honor Mayor Maxwell opened the proceeding?, introducing tho Rer. Father Havens, who addressed the Throne of Grace. Governor Morton followed, speaking brie3y, and concluding by introducing Person Brownlovr. The audience" received him euthusiastically. The reverend gentleman, as true ,and aj loyal I'nioa uuu 4s lis e., he aever a ted himre'i to be, made a pc-aUar pech, breathing patriotism and devotion to the star and strip in every word, but half eriou3, halt boiuioi;?. ?-If 'usIond ht.lf pt!iet;:. . The Parson ha3 a talent for epithets, hnd he piled them mountains high last night. He was unsparing in his denunciations of the leaders of tnis infamous rebellion. His prescription was hemp for them and grape b-r those w ho follow them. His uccount of the trials of the Union men of Tenneee, and pe iai'y of his own exciiences under the oppie-i..i;s vi those in power ia the Confederacy, whs exceedingly interesting, und at times brought trai to the eyes of those who heard him. t'ticotidiiiotiaily he avowed himself for toe Union. If the South t-houhi mike the isrue of davrry no Union, he wou'd say down wit'n slavery. He would, however, l-v.iy AbolitiJn'ts and Disunion1 ati-J lire eate.y. in one common d toll, having prcviouiy cmb:.lmed their bodies with dog-fenntl and ypnm w (.-!. Paron iirownlow inured ujn the utter iiiability of the S-juth to maintain itself against the North. This spring and this summer this rebellion would be crushed out. Giveui a breathing spell of three months, and we will whip England and France both, and if they ihju't look out, w-g w ill do it anyhow. The blockade w as pressing the people of th South. No cotton good.s not even a paper of pin, were to be bou-jhtnow in Knoxville. Fine toothed combs, to rid the little sece-h heads of Kuatter sovereigns averting their rights in the territories, were,not to be had. General v. F. Carvr followed Farson Brownlow. He was bitterly patriotic. ' Hemp, cannon balls and graves were the staple of Iiis argument. He would entomb everv man, woman and child south or" "Mason L Dixon's Line," and see the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah overtake all the Southern land, rather than the Union should be destroyed tho Government overthrown. Gen. Cary ppoke effectively and eloquently, and carried his audience with hira.

Mr. Read is a-poet, an artUt, a man of the highest order of genius, acknow ledped ns puch iu both thc.-e departments, but we never knew, until we heard him last night, that 1:q had all the cent'ul qualities a&d all the fire of a great and gifted orator.
Intempehance. If you would see earthV most beautifully solemn scene if you would 6ee two kindred hearts assume life's nearest, holiest ties, then come with me to the altar, and look upon two youthful beings, as they make to each other the pledge of eternal fidelity nd aflection. Behold him tall, manly, protecting. Behold her young, rosy cheeked, pure as the ppotless bridal robes she wears, and leaning upon bini with a look of unshiken confidence. Let us ieie them. Lr a iew years, and then vrsit them again. How chanred the scene! At the time he took to himself the bride of his choice he was in the habit of drinking just a little. Bat he thought, as all other young men think, that he could keep hi passions within rropcr bound?. Alas! for his tad mistake Alas! for the s:;l mi-take of miny a young man like him. Iii I'ttlo fortune, the tart bueatRTCent, of dy'.i f ither, has been squandered. Thevhaie exchanged their lovely little home for the dirty cabin. The cap. oversowing with happiness, which the held in her hand on that bright May morriinj long ago, has been dahed to pie:es along life's uneven pathway. The winds are blowinz through the crevices; the fuel is pone; the cupboard phelf i3 empty. The babe of fctr own bosom is in rags its little feet are bare. And when starvation and death re thus staring herself and little ci.e in the face, the venture to remonstrate with the once noble object of her love. She is met wp.h the ftunniag blow that sends her reelir. across the Üoor!
