Nashville is disloyal to the very core. The
return Of the stars and stripes to her capital
has awakened no response Of welcome from
the thousands Of her population imbrnited by
secession. She knows not how to appreciate
freedom, and takes advantage of the mercy of
the Union authorities for the utterance Of
treason. The Nashville correspondent Of the
N. 7. World, who has done much to enlighten
the North on the real state Of things in that
city, gives the following account Of the bold
