General Buell. TO Command in PersonThs Attacks the
Government BY tie Press-Treason Printed Under Me
G~s Of Loyany-Liquor Traffic Entirely Suppressed by
Martial La~-7Ae City Very Quiet, dc.
Gen. Buell. has organized new division by detaching
brgades from other divisions, and yesterday took
commanl OF this column in person, intending hereafter
to take an active part in tho operations in the field
This will afford him ample opportunity display what
military ability he possesses and to gain distinction
There is disputing the fact that the Union govern
ment is the most enent government the face OF the
earth. Everybody remembers how for months, last
spring, II suffered certain newspapers in the city of Balt
moro 10 issue daily with columns nllsd with the most
violent and open treason, striking heavy blows tho
government at time when that government was weak
and could lily afford to sustain such persistent attacks
From that day to the present the lenient govern
ment, in spirit Of longsusring and patience, has
ducd tho assaults Of OF abolition journals through
out the country forbsarng to issue the mandate that
should forever stop the smanaton Of such reasonable
matter Since the occupancy Of Nashville by the Union
sforces, tho same papers that have howled treason
throughout this State the breaking out of the
rebellion have been permitted to continue their
issues, filled with all manner Of matter offensive
to the loyalty Of the nation. True, feeble effort
put forth TO stop this evil, and order was is
sued for the suppression Of the papers unless they would
come out boldly and unqualhedy for the Union. This
their editors and propretors declined doing but managed
TO continue the publication Of their offensive durnas by
smart dodge The former editors announced their
TRACY from the papers, ana the propretors that they
had leased their to certain Of their
poyes BY this dodge their issues were and have been
to this day continued but their tone and sentiments
main unaterod and apparently unalterabe For instance
the Banner Of this morning admits column aud a half
communication in defence the rebel Johnston
who seems to have fallen into dsrepute with certain OF
tho leading secessionists hereabous Tho same issue
has an editorial article announcing the completion of
= at some place In the cotton States, and goes
on 10 argue that muskets the best weapons that
be put into the hands of soldiers" The artcemen
lions tho number now turned out daily and adds, in
congratuatory ven that in few days they will be able
" turn out hundred per day. The Paiot equally
filled in every issue with matter quite
the above. Does not this show the sympahies of tho
conductors OF those journals to be plainly with the
Souh and is the matter cited plainly reasonables
Can there be any in permitting the public mind
be daily fed with such Objectionable mater Particular
iy s u important as appears TO me, that in this State
for the first time cleared OF armed rebel organiza
tions, should be taken that proper sentiments
aonc-sontiments calculated to inspire and foster
Unon feeling in the communityshoud be permitted
be circulated The issues Of the papers noticed only
10 keep alive the secession sentiments that burned
and State BY Union forces It seems suicidal that the
government, through its agents, will permit the
that is criminal and should be condemned 1t an out
rage upon the brave who nobly struggling
restore peace and unity to our beloved country.
