The Preachers OF NnshyiIIc.

Speaking of the Rebel preachers OF
that ciy, theNashville Union Of the 22d
ult. says:
We are told, on excellent authority,
that not one of all the rebel preachers in
this city has visited any Of the u. s. Hoe
pitfalls TO administer the consultations OF
religion to our suffering and dying soldiers.
We have ever been taught that Il was the
high and noble mission of Ministers Of the
Gospel to initiate the beautiful example
of their divine Master in showing kindness
even to their enemies, and especially to
visit and console the poor, the afflicted
aud the dying.
When men profess to devote their lives
to exPounding and enforcing the holy
psecepts Of the Bible, we naturally look
for example as well as precept. When
their lips drop words Of oil, aud their
hearts are filled withgall, we involuntsri-
ly recall the fearful maledlction OF tho
Savior against all such false teachers:
"Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees,
and hypocrits, for ye devour widows
houses aud for pretense make long pray
ers, therefore " shall receive the greater
damnationw

and had connived with the Secessionists
TO deliver over the forts at the entrance
OF the harbor, aud TO seize the 10000
stand of arms which the tibet Floyd had
sent there for the purpose.
The city was swarmiDg with cu.-ihroats
aud traitors; Johnston had privately sent
forward his resignation to the War De.
partmon,; the hour for the consumation
o. the trcuchcry had almost arrived, wheu
the unexpected advent Of Gen. Il. v.
Sumner frustrated the scheme.
He was put on board the California
steamer at scr, and no intimation Of his
cming had reached the coast when he
landed. On his arrival he walked up
from the steamer 10 the headquarters Of
the Pacitc Department, aud inquired for
Commander Johnston. Having been
shown into the presence of that individual
he announced himself to the astonishcd
traitor as his successor in command,
showed his papers, aud demanded imme-
didtc posse@ion' In half an hour he had
oontro of both forts, aud run out their
guns, double shottcd ON tho land side.
That same evening the 10000 stand of
arms at Bcnicia wore secured, and Cali
fornia was saved. The sngacity that dis
patched General Sumner secretly was
crcGitiblc TO the new Govcrnmcnt.-

EDS. TRIBUNE:
Having few leisure moments, | will
write you few lines. We are now
pleasantly encampcd, near the village of
Franklin, the capital Of Pondleton coun-
y.
The face OF the country consists of
level land along he streams, terminating
in gently sloping hills, dotted with verdi
ant fields ard pleasant DIVE lings, or clad
with primeval forests, while the whole is
surrounded by ranges and spurs Of the
Alleghanies.
The forest of pine and other ever
greens, interspersed with thousands of
Towering shrubs, load each breeze with
the sweetest perfumes. The mildness
of the climate, the purity of the water,
the bracing brcezes from the mountain,
renders this locality very healthy. Yet,
while everything around is rejoicing in
the beauty OF Spring, We are confined to
the monotony of the camp, and, like Gag
ed birds, long to be set free.
When not on duty, various plans are
devised to while away the dull hours
Some group together and talk of the
prospects of a speedy termination of the
war; others are lcunging about thinking,
perhaps, Of home and friends, hoping that
they may soon be permitted to return to
them. Here are several playing cards,
and there, all alone, is some one reading
bible. But here is very large group,
discussing the probability of an arrival of
rutions. And, by the way, rations are
now our greatest concern.
For several days the whole army has
been living on beef and coffee, everything
else in the form ofrations having ''play-
ed out" The cause of this scarcity of
ratons is, principally, owing to the inad-
equacy of the transportation.
There being no bridges over several of
the streams, which our trains have TO
cross, the recent high waters have de-
layed them several days. Last evening
a pontoon bridge, built here, was taken
ten miles from here, and put in position,
that train which had been there for sew
erol days, might bring us the needful A
provision train would be received by us
with as much Joy as the Israelites ever

Goth Rcg't, o. V.

May Zou, W.
EDS. TRIBUNE:
The mighty army of the Southwest,
still conlrorts the rebel hords of the lit
tie "creolc." Every day increases our
strength and brings us nearer the cne-
my's works. His morning drums and
the watchrul call of his sentinels, arc
heard by our boys on picket, and along
the great line of our advance, which is
near fifteen miles in extent, there is an
almost constant fire from pickcts. Al
most every morning and afternoon, the
war Of artillery, tells us Of a rebel DEM
onstration.
Our line is a scmi-circle, secured by
trenches, rifle pits and batteries of heavy
guns, and is from one mile and half to
three miles from the rebel camp. The
rebel forces are cstimutcd at from 10000
to 100000 men.
| conjecture that ours will equal theirs
and that we can bring near six hundred
pieces Of artillery INTO action. Our large
siege guns are placed in position in the
advanced works, and concealed. Not
one has yet been discharged. When the
rebel artillery becomes impcrtnent, We
send forward battery ofsix or ten pound
guns, and soon drive them off.
Men are wounded every day and occa.
sionol'y one is killed. Last night Gen
Pope's outpost was attacked by cavalry
aud this morning seven dead rebels were
found.
1t is still in the power of the rebels e
evacuate, but it is the general belief that
they will fight us here.
They had intended to 90 to Jackson
Miss, and had begun the work Of remov.
al when, the fall ofNew Orleans, sudden.
| ly changed their plans. 1t is to be hop.
ed their retreat may be cut off, and that
here the decisive battle may take place
1t will be the great battle Of the century
but it must come. The Union hosts arc
eager for the conflict and impatient O
necessary delay.
1t is the opinion of all, that the rebel,
will be compelled to assault US and force
their way out. Their supplies are shor
and there is great disaflection in thci
ranks. This is the testimony of deser
tiers, of whom from ten to sixty come il
daily. When the fghtwill come no on,
knows. In the mean time let our friend
at home rest in confidence. We canno
be defeated, and if "let alone" wo will
bag the whole crew OF rascals here
Don't believe one-tcnth of what the pa,
pcrs say respecting movements here. a
is amazing, for one here, to see the daily
papers, and know that SO much of theil
pretended news from "Hlileck's Army
is false.
This is a miserable country, but the
contrast, between this and Ohio, as tC
the season, is most striking. On the
10Th of this month saw cherries turning
red, and ripe strawberries. Peaches art
nearly full grown, and wheat is past the
blossom, whilst corn is four feet high ant
new potatoes are nearly grown.

And, making great ado,
And getting loads Of shot and she'll
To give the "rebs" few.
The "ball" would have been operej
About the fifth Of May,
But am grieved to state to you
The rebels ran away.
On Sunday morning oft the fourth,
They left in greatest haste,
They did il pretty silently,
For fear they would be chased.
They left their largest guns behind
And stores Of ammunition,
And buried shells along the road,
Fit subjects for perdiiion.
AS soon as General George found out
That they had ran away,
lie sent his horsemen alter them,
And chased them all that day.
Near Williamsburg they made stand,
Behind some good "dirt walls"
For anything, they thought, would do
To keep off Union balls.
The battle lasted one whol. day,
Charge after charge was made,
Aud many Of our biavest boys,
Low in the dust were laid.
Night came upon the scene at last.
And then the carnage ceased;
But we expected that, next day,
The fight would be Increased.
But disappointment was our lot,
For, sometime through the night,
Their "South srn Chiva Try" gave way,
Which made them take to flight
According to the "rebs" accounts,
Their next "great stand WILDE
Some fifteen miles from Richmond,
On Chiekahominy.
