Parson Brownlow At Camp Morton

The Indianapolis Journal says that the rebels at Camp Morton did not give Parson Brownlow a very cordial reception. He was met with jeers and crist of “Put him out,” “Don’t want him here,” “The old traitor,” etc., which he, having faced worse treatment under far more dangerous circumstances gave little heed to. The insultes came cheifly from the Kentucky Prisoners, who have been from the start the most obstreperous and unrepentant of the rebels there.
