The statements that strong Union sentiment was
evinced here by the citizens tho occupation Of the
city by our troops are, far as have them, ex
aggerated. The public display OF Unonism made here
has been proved to have been Of most contemplate
character, and contemplate in the fact that the
welcome shouted by those who had previously been
the most noisy secessonsts. There are Union men and
Union women here-men who have been outspoken in
their sentiments and who have plainly told their
feelings all who were curious know them and it is
to their credit TO say that while in their hearts they
welcomed those who had come to uphold tho banner
they loved best, they not base make any
show Of exutaon at the msfortunes of their neghbofs
and fellow citizens This and has been the spirit q
those who through all the late struggle faithful
to the flag that hidden am doubtful OF the
public display Of feeling prefer rather to trust tho
display Of joy made in privacy. That there has been
great display Of such sentiment hoped for from
the citizens Of Nashville, can assure you from personal
observation In this city, familiar to me, and which
l left less than year ago on compulsion, / know
that Union feeling has existed through it ALL and
many familiar voice has told me how re-
the old flag few from the flag staff Of the
Capitol But in very ow Instances have the citizens of
Nashville displayed either an unbecoming exutaton
unseemly and inhuman vindictveness. And at the
time there but few instances Of the denial by
secessionists Of their sentiments The spirit Of the
unonsts in this matter was beautifully expressed at the
time Of the occupation Of the city by Mrs. Mcwen, who
the last person to take down the Stars and Stripes,
when Tennessee seeded, nearly year ago. On being
asked why the capture Of the city she had raised
the national fag she replied that she had lowered it
once in Difference 10 public opinion and that she
would hoist when might appear indie alive Of
her exutation at the misfortune of her neghbors. AS
far any public display concerned it was but sub
terfuge of frightened sccessioniss candor should
treat it SUCH Men so high toned and gentlemanly
donal Unonsts through the dark days could not have
been guilty Of display Of the kind. But il any
