LATEsTNEWs FRoMT HEsoUTH

4 gentleman named De Grove, late
revenue collector at Nashville, Tenn, has
arrived at Washington, in company with
two or three others. He alleges that he
found it necessary to leave Nashville be-
cause of his opposition to secession. The
National Republican has obtained the fol-
lowing news from him:
MILITARY IMPORTANCE OF NASHVILLE.
The military Importance of Nashville is
greater than any other Southern point
The whole network of Southern railroads
centre there, and, within short time, they
have so arranged their railroad matters AS
that the entire rolling stock of all the
roads can be used upon any one of them,
so that if, by the casualties of war, they
lose one road, they can use another, while
all their engines and cars can be, ut short
notice, put into requsition for the trauspor-
tation of troops, or the munitions OF war.
Troops can now go from the army ut Ma
uassas Junction to Nashville, or to any
other important Southern point, without
stopping or changing cars.
MANUFACTURES OF ARMY Goods.
The war has given great impetus to
manufactures in Nashville, almost every
thing necessary for army purposes being
manufactured there in large quantities.
All the Northern sewing machine men
had agents in Nashville, but the war eff
fectunlly cut off their sales, so the agents
hired a large number of men and women,
and employed all their machines in manu-
featuring clothing and tents for the army.
They are all doing large business. The
principal tuilars of the city are also enga-
Il -, al mr. In :
the main supply of clothes and tents is
now obtained at Nashville.
Large quantities of leather and canvas
shoes are manufactured. Previous to and
in anticipation of the war, immense guam
titles of leather were brought to Nashville
from Kentucky, Texas and Missouri. One
leather dealer alone bought $4,000 worth
of leather, which is now being worked up.
Canvas shoes having been discovered on
the feet Of some Union prisoners, the new
idea soon spread over the Southern cOun-
try, and they are now made i'll large guam
titles, especially in Nashville.
Immense quantities of saddles, harness
and cartridge boxes are also manufactured.
Two or three large shops are filed with
men, engaged with this work many of the
persons thus employed never before sewcd
Il stitch tut the want OF employment and
their own necessities compelled them to
undertake the business.
\ powder mill on Sycamore creek, some
fifteen miles from Nashville, is successful
ly employed in manufacturing powder.
Percussion caps are made in the city at
the rate Of 100000 per day. Two Ger
mans have been killed by the explosion of
the Eliminating powder.
Rifles and muskets are manufactured on

There are now in the warehouses of
Nashville, meat and flour enough to feed
the Tennessee troops for twelve months.-
Immense quantities of provisions were
bought before the rebellion commenced,
and have been keept there. There is one
store 800 feet long, by about 10 feet wide,
and five stories high, filled from the bot
tom to the top with bacon. and all che
wholesale grocers are well supplied with
provisions of all kinds.

THE DEFENsEs OF NASHVILLE.

Three weeks ago there were no forts and
no soldiers ut Nashville. AtDoyer, on the
Cumberland river, there is battery, and
ut Fort Henry, on the Tennessee river,
there is another, together with fl force
of 1000 men, and these forts are so ar
ranged that if one should be taken the men
can fly to the other without impediment.
