CAMP NEAR Duck RIVER, !
MURRAY COUNTY, Tenn, ;
. March "a, 1862.

Mr.. EDrToR:--We are now camped
about thirty miles from Nashville, on
the Franklin Pike leading toward Ala
bama. We were on a march a few
days ago toward Murfreesboro', and
had gone about thirteen miles from
Nashville, when an order came, and we
we're ordered from Gen. Mitchells di-
vision to Gen. Crittenden's, We par
ted from Gen. Dumont's brigade with
sadness, as we had to leave the "bloody
Tenth" which was esteemed above all
others, by the brave boys of the Thir-
teenth. With sad hearts and tired
limbs, we retraced our steps back to
Nashville the same day, where we camp
ed for the night. Before daylight we
we're alarmed (not by the enemy but
by the distant peals of thunder, which
we considereda as q token for a refresh
ing from on high; as we had not con-
sidered it necessary to "pitch tents
the night before, we fonnd that in or
der to keep ourselves as dry as we
could we must go to work, which we
did in a hurry, and it was not long be-
fore our "Sibley's" were in a perpen-
dicular attitude; but as we had orders
to march that day we did not enjoy our
"Sibley" very long until the bugle told
us to up and strike tents, which was
soon done, and once again we were on
the road.
Geu. Crittenden inspected us yes.

In speaking of the parties who
showed Wendell Phillips so. much dis
respect at the Opera-house as to be-
spatter him with rotten eggs, the Com
mercial says, eff they dared, they
would mob Parson Brownlow, and are
already Kissing about him like eadders." !"
We don't know how that IS. The only
Kissing about the Parson that we have
heard, came from persons Of Aboli-
ton sympathies, on account Of his
speech to the Pioneer Association, at
the Council Chamber, on, Saturday
night last. On that occasion he said,
as reported by our reporter: r
"Colonel Geoffroy introduced Parson
Brownlowl to the Association. who was
warmly received and greeted in spaech by
| Benjamin Eggleson Mr.. Brownlow, in re-
PITY, said, among other things, that ho knew
not what might bs tho sentilnehts OF the au-
disnce he was addressing; he did not desire
to wheedla The North because he was in the
North, nor did he favor the South when he
was in the South, but he would say that j
one hundred Of the rank, talented, notorious
and corrupt Abolitionisls of the North, and
one hundred Of the meau, thieving, dirty and
corrupt Secessionists, who have been leaders
in the South, had been taken TO Washington
months ago and strung up in the public
square, and their souls seLt to h--ll, VIZ
would never have been saddenrd with oul
present troubles .s .xqa Ttgraa
Our report says that the sentiment
of the Parson was roundly cheered By
the entire audience. The Parson put
the Abolition and Secession leaders OF
a par. The Parson might utter suel
sentiments as that year in and yea
out, in Cincinnati, without the leas
danger of being mobbed, except b.
the Abolitionists; for there are non
others here to take ofense at such re
marks, The adders that would his
about him would be those who fnd com
fort and sympaty in the Commercial
u Gin. Enc.

The Confederate naval force in the river
acquitted itself gallantly. The Galveston, it is
said, sunk the celebrated Yankee steamer Iro-
