occasional success.
1t is presumed here that Bragg will mako bis way
over the mountains into Tennessee and attack NASH
wife M soon as possible though the severity OF his
march and the partial Generalization OF his forces
will cause no little delay in the execution oil what
ever plans he may desire TO carry out. portion OF
our troops are now at Lebanon, and WILL as soon 90
they arc properly prepared for the march, proceed
to the Tennessee capital, TO resist any attempt at
attack.
There can be no doubt whatever Of tho dissstis-
faction and discomfort Of tho great majority OF the
Southern troops and OF their entire WEAKNESS with
the war. During our eight or ten days Of journey
ING through the State We have met number OF the
parolcd Confederates their way home, and IN
conversation with them they have told us they were
dipgusted with tho struggle between the North and
South, and woild gladly abandon 1t If they were
permitted to do 90. .
Thi. is not the opinion Of one or OF few, bnt OF
the priystes ge scraly OF whom said the officers
from CAPTAIN down TO Corporal, ought to lay down
t,tir arms and let tho high officers aud politicians
fight il out themselves. AT Perryyille, the other
day, we visited the snemys sick and wounded al the

/ Tie Southern soldiers are heartily sick OF the
war; and desire peace on any ternsi but az matters
are new managed in Secessla, they have no voice,
no power, no influence. They are forced to light,
and endure all kinds OF hardship and suffering ana
derivation in cause with which they have at soul
no sympaiby, and which has proved the means OF
their deeper degradation.
Ii was ptiful TO zee some OF the Southerners, mere
boys in years and children in experience, trudgng
along the hot ard dusty highway, encun'bered with
heavy knapsacks on their way 10 Georgia, Alabama,
South Carolins, and Louisiana, hundIed Of miles
before them, nearly penniless, poorly clad and bali
sick anxious to get home once more. ana yet fearful
of being forced into the service again before they
could accomplish their purpose.
TIE parOled prisoners were as usual, Ignorant and
mex fenced mon who had hardly been out Of the
county in which they were born, and had no more
comprehension Of the than they had OF the siege
Of Troy. They were exactly the material for tue
tools they have been made-narrow, pliablc, preJu-
diced and infammable-and they now begin TO per-
ceiye the miserable instruments they have been
MADE, but too late 70 help themselves. They have
created power they cannot resist.
Near Camp Dick Robinson we passed public
boue, kept by David Smith, who until very recently
was warm Southern sympathzer, aud heard this
account Of bis late experiences. AT bis ian Gems
Bragg, Buckner, Kirby Smith, Leonidas Polk and
their s,afis were quartered when the Rebel army
was at the camp. and they behaved moit disgrace
fully, destroying his furniture, tearing down his
aboard because il bore the figure of mn American
eagle and breaking into bis cellar for the purpose Of
stealing his apple brandy After doing all this they
went away without paying or Offering ~ pay him
dollar, even IN Confederate scrip.
The old man Is furious 1T these gross misdemeanors
of the Confederzies," and contrasts 1t most IN
fayorably with the commendaoe coudnct and
courteous hearing Of tie Union officers, when the
Nstioas army occupied the camp. The ouirages
practiced him have converted hm from his Secss-
zion doctrines, and he Is OF toe stanehest
of Union men. He often remarks, al was strong

Tho prcssnt IL, doubtless, poor time to Judge of

The destiny Of Kentucky, let the Seces'ionists

destiny Of the North; and as Slavery exists within
