Houses between the battle field ans
Strasburg, and even far beyond, have
since been found filled with the dead
and dying of the enemy. Graves have
been disc pvered far from the road, where
the inhabitants of the country buried
them as they died. Gen. Banks, in his
pursui of the enemy beyond $ rasburg,
afterwards. found houses on the road
twenty, wo miles from the battle field
in this manner, and presenting the most
CHASTITY spectacle. The havoc made in
the ranks of the rebels has struck this
whole region of country with terror.
Such blow had never fallen on them
before, and it is more crushing because
wholly unexpected. Jackson, and his
stonewall brigade, and all the other
brigades accompanying bin, will never
meet this division again in battle
During the night they managed to carry
off their ar ilcry in the darkness. We
opened upon ,hcm by early light ncxt
morning, and they commenced to retreat.

pressing them with vigor and with
repeated and destructive attacks as far
as Woodstock, where he halted from
mere exhaustion. The encmy's suffer
mgs have been terrible, and such as
they have nowhere else endured since
the commencement of this war; and yet
such were their gallantry and high state
of disci plinc that at no time during the
battle or pursuit did they give way to
pane. They fed to Mount Jackson,

adopted by two votes, thus defeating
the original COMPROMISE Who is res
ponsblc for this work of destruction 3
Six Southern Senators standing there
and refusing to record their votes. If
the Crttendcn Compromise had been
adopted they would have been deprived
of pre- ext for their treason. Judah
benjamin, sneaking thief and perjurcr,
and an unconscionable traitor, was
seated near me while the vote was being
taken. ! told him it was his duty to
come to the relief of the country by
voting on this important PROPOSE ion.-
He snccringly answered that " when he
wanted my advice he would make the
request" l said, you are Senator,
and | demand that your vote be recorded.
With six others. he contrived to defeat
the measure by slipping out. They
wanted no compromise.
Those who have been. deceived and
deluded into feeling of hostility to the
Government shall be treated as lcncn "
as possible, but conscious, Intelligent
treason must be punished and, when
that is done, your Government will be
stronger than ever.
After eulogy on patriotic women,
he said !: Let US look forward to the
time. when all will be well. | come
here to restore Tennessee to the position
it occupied when | relinquished the
rens of government four years ago;
having done which, l will retire, and
leave it in such hands as you may select"
After abiding to the Fort Donelson
prisoners, and to the suffering of many
helpless families Ecrc in Nashville he
said: You have got to understand
that you who inaugurated this war must
be made to take care of the widows and
children, and if those marauding and
guerilla parties arc not stopped, you
will be held responsible for the dcstruc-
ton of bridges and o.her property in the
neighborhood." Again he returned
thanks for the attention paid to him, and

The ALLEGED COUNTERFEIT


The ALLEGED COUNTERFEIT U. S.
TREASURY NoTE.--The report set afoat
some time ago that counterfeit S. Trca-
sury Demand Notes were being freely
circulated proves to be without founda-
ton. Recently an acute detective
officer was put upon the track of the
alleged counterfeit note which had been
seen and handled by persons well known
in this city, when he earthly traced out
the particular bill, and after patient
search discovered it. 1t was simply a
genuine So Treasury Note from which
the letters U. S. had been earthly
erased in joke by one of is possessors
in order to play trick or win bet
from an acquaintance. 1t is asserted
by those we'll verscd in bank notes that
there are no counterfcits in circulation.

Governor Andrew JohnsOn'S Address

In TIE HALL OF THE House OF
REPRESENTATIVES,, NASHVILLE, on
SATURDAY, MARCH %.
After Il few preliminary remaks, in
which he showed that the rebellion was
without a single Justification, the Gov
crnor said
| was witness of the reign of terror
which followed the defeat of Bell, Breck-
inridge, and Douglas, and when the
election was over repaired to Wash
ington. 1t was there that Breckinridg &c
showed the cloven foot. South Carolina
was bascly and adroitly attempting to
dissolve the Union. ! saw Breckenridge
and convcrscd with him; told him tie
people were all disappointed that we
had been caught i'll a snap Secession
its would break up the Union. What
was his reply &c Can we coercc a
Stotc /" | remarked, "It is our duty
to save the Government" "Will YOU
coerce ?" he again demanded. / told
him not to deal in tethncalities The
laws must be enforced.
My interview with Breckenridge was
like an iceberg in my bosom. | was
deceived in him, and discovered that
Breckenridge had no hope of being
cleo ed-no hope but for Kentucky and
the Southern States. | asked him if
he was willing to disunite the States
because of Mr. Lincoln's success, and
because disconnected South Carolina
agitates the subject! TO this question
Breckenridge replied in nd capiundum
slang about subjugation and the horrors
of a civil conflict, convincing me that he
had gone into the arms of Disunion.-
As he could not be President of all the
States, he was willing to divide them,
and become President of part of them.
We separated. turned emy back upon
him and said, "You deceived me then :
that was your fault; but when you
deceive Inc again, it will be mine."
LII returning to my native State,
offer the olive branch in one hand, and
the Consti uion in the other With and
for it | come to perish, if need bc-to
pour out my blood Il free libration for its
preservation. The Federal Government
is made responsible for this war by the
men who have entailed its horrors upon
the country, by crying out their preten-
ded rights are gone. Let us forget all
parties and former associations, and
see the question as it is.
Tariff was the pretext for dMunion in
1882, and the slavery CT negro question
is the pretext now. How do the facts
stand when VIC come to examine them =?
Let US 60 back to the proceedings of the
last Congress. What was the true
phase of the times A compromise,
you remember-the Crittenden PROPOSE
tion-was introduced. The Southern
Senators, including Benjamin, Toombs,
lverson, and u list of others, pretended
that if the measure passed the South
would be satisfied but they desired
everything but compromise. Senator
Clark offered an amendment which he
believed would be acceptable to the
South. had critically kept pace with
these pretenders. Their pro est was
only to disguise their real in cntions.

0G~Thc Secession journals of the South,
and the Secession sympathizers ofthe North,
delight in making loud protestatious of their
devotion to the cause of civil liberty. and in
bitterly denonncing the confinement of few
real and suspected traitors in Fort Warren
They have nothing to say, however, of the
hcquent repetition of such announcements in
the Southern journals as is contained in tho
following extract from the N orlolk Dan Book
No less than sevcnty-scven citzcrs Of
Loudoun county were sent to Richmond on
Thursday last, and confined in prison on The
charge Of being disloyai 10 the SoaM."
Disloyaty to great and noble Govern
ment is in their eyes no crime, but opposition
to the most criminal conspiracy that ever dis
graced the human race is deemed an olfenSo
worthy Of terrible punishment.

A YOUNG MANS FIRST LEssoy.--
'ritcomb is guilty of uttcring many very blunt
truths, and here is one from his letters to the
Young:
'' ! take it that the first great lesson Young
man has to learn is that he is an ass. The
earlier this lesson is learned the better it will
be for his peace of mind and his success in
life. Some never learn it. and descend into
the evening of their eXistancc, their ears
frightening with shadows as they grow
Some learn it early. get their ears cropped,
and say nothing about it; while .thcrs scnSi-
bly, retire into modest cmployments, wlirrn
they will not be noticed. A young man
reared at home, and growing up in the light
of parental admiration and traternal pride
cannot readily understand how any one can
be as smart as he is. He goes to town, puts
on airs and gets snubbed, and wonders what
it means; goes into society and finls himself
tonsuc-ticd; undertakes to speak in debat-
ing club, and breaks down or gets laughed
at; pays attention to q nice Young woman,
and finds very large mittcn on his hands,
and, in state Of mind bordering no distrac-
ton. sits down to reason about it. This is
the critical period of his history. The result
Of this reasoning decides his fate. II no
thoroughly comprchends the fact that he
does not know anything. and accepts the con
viction that all the world around him knows
more than he does, that he is but cipher,
and whatever he gets must be won by hard
work, there is hope for him."

NEW USE FOR GRAVES When our troops
dismantled the rebel batteries at Cockpit and
Shipping Points, on the Potomac, the SOL
diers of the Massachusetts lst came across
a number of graves. They were laid out, says
correspondent of the Boston Traveller, in
the streets, carefully labeled, and contained
pathetic circumstances against disturbing the
rcposc of the dead and violating the saHctilv
of the tomb, so that suspicious were cngcnl-
cred that the sacred dead might he broughtto
life again, and made TO see little more ser
vice under the sun. Spades and shovcls were
accordingly brought into requsition, and
speedily were eXhumcd, not the bodies of
departed confederates, but numbers Of nice,
new tents, packages of clothing, mess chests
furnished with all the appliances Of modern
cookery, trunks of various articles, tools, &c.

experiment, and recommended to try again.
