A CORRESPONDENT of the Cincinnati
Gazette writing from Louisville under date
of the llth inst, speaks of the arrest Of the
patriot Nelson as follows:
The arrest of Hon. r. A. F. Nelson of
Tennessee, by the Virginia rebels, will do
more to fan the flame ofloyal Indignation in
East Tennessee. than any act they could have
pcrpetrated 1t is no disparagement of
Andrew johnson and other gallant men of
that oppressed section, to say that Nelson
is the most popular man of Fast Tennessee.
Indeed he is beloved all over the State, in
spite of the Secession madness. If he re-
ceives any harm at the hands of the rebels,
the yeomanry of his own Congressional dis
trict and those adjoining it, will never forgive
it. If they should dare to take his life, his
blood would cry out against the tyrants to the
latest generation of their posterity. His
political influence is not half the hold he has.
upon the hearts of his people, He is also
worshipped ike Hugh White, for his ex-
cellent qualities as Christian gentleman.
His reputation for integrity is like that of
the early Roman Consuls. After consulting
with It gentlemen arrived recently from Ten
nessee, l entertain no doubt that Nelson has
actually been Kidnapped by the rebels.
