John F. JOURDAN, of Maury county, a distiller of mean whiskey, and a radical at that, positively refused admittance of government inspectors to his distillery, and with drawn pistol, forced the government officer to retire. JOURDAN boastingly said on may occasions, that he would not pay the whisky tax, and now says that Sam ARNELL advised him to resist. Of course JOURDAN and ARNELL are loyal, law-abiding, Brownlow men.
