NASHVILLE UNION,

IHE NASHVILLE UNION was commenced few weeks
since, for the purpose Of opposing the Rebel Southern
Coniederacy, and Of advocating the restoration Of
Federal authority, without any abatement over all
the states which have attempted to secede IL holds
as friends all who support, and foes all who oppose
The Union Of the States. It has no watchwo.d but
FRREDOM AND NATIONALITY.
With rebels and traitU has no compromise 10
make II contends for the Federal Constitution and
the Laws made 10 pursuance thereof as the SUPREME
LAW or TiS LAND, anything In the Constitution and
Laws Of any Of the States TO the contrary notwth-
standing.
II contends for the Union Of the States, because
without It the preservation Of liberties ana inst-
tutions and the organization Of society itself are
wholly impossible. Therefore, whatever stands in
.he way Of crushing out the rebellion and restoring
Union must perish, no matter by what name It be
cd.
To the people Of Tennessee ever renowned for their
devotion 10 Liberty and Union, until they were be-
trayed TO the rebel despotism at Richmond by per.
dious Governor and corrupt Legislature, and who
have felt 80 heavily the awful curse of treason and
anarchy, we appeal for support. let the names Of
rebel office holders, Vigilance Committees and Minute
Men, who have filled our borders with mourning, be
gbbetted before the world. Let those ambitious aud
ayarieious men Who have plotted our ruin for their
own aggrandizement be fastened to the piIlory Of
shame no matter how high their ~ition IN socieiy.

GOLD FOR THE TREASURY "A Wash
ington despatch says that Secretary
Chase's system Of deposits, by which
gold isreceived by the government, TO be
repaid in kind at ten days notice with
interest at the rate of four per cent, is
working well, the deposits having been
sufficient for all Government necessities
forthe use ofgold. II is believed by many
that, if money remains as abundant as
at present, the Government will thus be
able to keep itself supplied with gold,
until the redemption Of the old issue of
Treasury Notes shall put it in possession
Of specie funds from the receipt Of du-
ties.

Mothers Pensions.


The following letter from Commissioner
BAnRErr answers one of numerous ques-
tions
PENSION OFrIcE, Oct 13, 1862.
SIR: To the seve@l questions contain
ed in your letter of The 10Th inst. con-
corning the pension claims of mothers of
deceased officers aud soldiers wine have
ieitneither widow nor minor child, re :
ply
1. In no case viii the dependence of
the mother upon her son for support,
whether wholly or in part, be taken for
granted on She mere affidavit Of the
claimant The allegation must be sus-
tanned by positive proof that she has &C :
tually received her suppors during a
stated period, either wholly or in part.
from the deceased soldier, on account of
whose military service she presents her
claim This can be proved by the afi-
dayit of two credible witnesses, who are
not interested in the result of the appli-
cation; by the production of evidence that
a portion of the soldiers pay (by allot-
ment ticket or otherwise was regularly
transmitted to the mother; by proof that
he constantly paid, or contributed toward
paying, her board, house rent, or other
specific and necessary expenses; or by
such other equivalent testimony as will
clearly establish the fact in question. II
is not sufficient to prove that the mother
received occasional presents from the de-
ceased.
2. If the mother has husband living,
that fact is regarded as prfaaa facie evil.
dence that she was not in any degree,
dependent upon her son for support. In
such case, before she can be admitted on
the pension roll, it must be clearly proved
that her husband has refused or neg
lected to provide for her support (statng
for how long time on account of physi-
cal inability to labor, having no other
source of income; or else that, having
deserted her, he is beyond the reach of le-
gal compulsiOn to contribute to her main
tenance. The proof required, in this
case, is that of two creditable and disin-
terested witnesses, who must state their
means of knowing the facts to which
which they make an affidavit.
3. II is my opinion that, if the mother
of deceased soldier has husband
living, who is not proved to be either un-
ablstc Support her, on ia such situa-
ton that she cannot enforce her legal
claim upon him for subsistence, she is
not entitled to receive pension by reason
Of the service and death of her son.
4. Proof of the mothers marriage to
the father Of the deceased soldier is re.
| garded as indispensable, and the fac
should be established by record evidence
when that can be obtained If the mar.
riage took place in a foreign country,
record of the baptism of any child O
the parties will be accepted in place OF
the marriage record, if the latter cannot
be obtained without great inconvenience
If neither can be obtained on affidavit
to that effect, private record, or tn,
evidence Of common reputation (showr
by two credible witnesses having no in.
terest in the result will be received.
Respectfully yours,
JOEEPH III. BARRETT,
Commissioner.

How CoTToN IS SMUGaLED FROM THE
SoUTH.--lt is ascertained that large sup
plies Of cotton for various points Of Eu-
rope are obtained on the Rio Grande,
where Mexican vessels oIe engaged in

that Texan planters convey their cotton
to Brownsville Texas, whence the arti-
Gle is clandestiuely carried 10 the Mexi-
can border. On the 9Th Of September
there were twenty vessels there waiting
for cargoes, including an English steamer,

AGRICULTURAL.
KkRRINa pouLrKx.

Fowls Of all kinds when laying, like
a secret place, where their fellows can
not see thenl Therefore they do not
like to squat down In the hcuneey, sur
ruuaded by greedy flock, t,at are
ready To pouuce into the nest, as soon
as an egg is layed, and devour it, :
Therefore 70 crafty the hens 1sccre-
tiyeness, and at the same time save the
eggssfrofn being devoured by any one
of the flock, my practice has been, for
number Of years, to make their nests
of nail kegS-not those that are very
small, nor the largest ones, but Of those
that will hold about one hundred lbs OF
nails. In years past, | have 5bsen ac-
customed to fill a keg about half full of
straw for nest, but the past winter, |
have sawed all the kegs in two equal
parts, knocking out the heads, and then
nail piece of cloth over the large end
Of each half kcg. for bottom. Any
kind of old or new cloth may be tackled
on with small trimming tacks. During
! tie winter these half kegs are nailed up
. against the side of the hennery. about
four feet from the floor Hens thatsslay
will soon learn that when they get into
! these nests, their fellows cannot see
them, as they are completely secluded in
! their eosey little nests and if they them
selves, are disposed to eat eggs, they
fud that if they attompt it, while stand
ing on the edge of the keg, they cannot
reach them conveniently; and if they
/, hop down in the nest, and attempt to
pick,the eggs, they will roll down
against their feet, and they will soon
learn. that they are not ableto pick hard
enough in such position, to break the
she'll. l find that cloth bottom is su-
perior to wooden bottom, covered with
nest of straw.
AS the weather becomes warmer, so
that the hens seek nests in the yard, we
make nests in secluded hooks, or the
keg might be removed from the hen
merry, and nailed against the side of the
fence, and little roof made over them.

Pruning Grapes.
The proper season for trimming grape
vines, is soon after the fruit has been
gathered, or in the month of February.
Ii the pruning is judiciouly performed
in the proper season, it is highly neees-
sary that the suckers should be removed;
and the young branches cropped off. A
part of the cropping may be done before
the flowers expand, and part s.fter the
young grapes are formed; but after the
Towering season Is over the cropping
should not all be done at one time; if the
greater share of the young branches are
cropped at one time, the great quantity
Of sap thrown into the young grapes
will cause them to blight and fall off.

SUGGESTIONS TO EMIGRANTS.


1t cannot be too strongly impressed
upon the minds of colonists who go out
to settle in Hayti, that they are going
toa new country, in which there are no
man ufactories of any kind, and no ma
chinery whatever in operation. Fami-.
lies should take along every article of
household furniture and goods, with the
exception of feather beds-unless the
transportation to the port they sail from
be too high. If they can carry but
part, l would say. take the cooking
stove, Ono others are aver wanted) and
the thinner bed-clothes, leaving the
heavy comfortables and quilts; all the
wearing apparel should be taken along,
with the exception of furs, and perhaps,
thick oyercoats. OF tho library, not
single leaf should be left behind-not
even the old almanacs and files of old
newspapers. Every family should take
newspaper from the States, until an
English paper should be started in
Hayti. Those who cannot afford to
take paper alone, should join with
several others, SO that all may have the
advantages of reading it.
| good supply Of writing paper, pens,
and ink should be taken. ~
Every tradesman should take with
him all the implements and tools used
in his profession. The most important
tools for the farmer, are ploughs, hoes,
shovels and spades, pitchforks, axes,
harnesses, horse carts, wheelbarrows,
chains and yokes. These should be
carried, when practicable, as they are
indispensable in ordinary branches of
agriculture, and are scarce there
Those who intend to raise cotton, would
do we'll to have a cotton gin and press.
1t is very common custom of the
country to bring the cotton to market
loose, and sell it to merchants, who press
it in bales. There should be at least
one gin and press in every neighbour ood.
/ Besides the articles above mentioned,
every emigrant, married or single,
should, if able, take along a stock of
-four. sugar, beef, pork, aud salt fish, to
! last at least six months, and soap for a
year or two, as these things are much
dearer there than here.
+ Though the Government will support
all emigrants for while, it is much
better to support ones self. 1t is
enough for the Government to pay the
! fare Of the emigrants, and give them
farms. Any man who complains of the
Government toward these cmigrants, is
willfully ignorant of the facts, or mali
cious. No other country offers so great
| inducements to emiprants. in the health
fulness of climate, richness of soil, and
variety and value of its products; and
no Government but that of Hayti, has
undertaken to encourage emigration by
! SO liberal offers as free farms, and free
passages to them.. and a remumeratiye
employment until the first crop has
time to grow. I have no sympathy for
the croakers. Yours truly
