The UNION SENTIMENT IN THE SoUTH-WHAr
PREVENTS It's DEyELoPMENT.-By an interesting
letter from Nashville, which we publish to- day,
it will be perceived that the Union sentiment
is greatly repressed in that region by the eman-
cipation proclamation of General Hunter. To
the same effect was another letter, which we
published yesterday, in which the writer says
" The hardest fight the Union men here in Ten
nessee have, is to defend themselves against the
Internal machines sent down South, in the shape
of abolition speeches and action in Congress" !"
Nothing can be truer than this and it is SO OBJ
vious to every man of common sense that it
can only be with "malice aforethought," !" and with
the deliberate intention Of preventing the heal
ing Of the breach between the North and the
South, such incendiary speeches are uttered and
such pernicious acts done. Not only is the rem
spirit Of rebellion is exasperated and the insur-
gents are driven to desperation. This is the
real secret of the difficulty in re-sstablishing
the authority of the federal government in
the Southern States; for it is identified in the
minds Of the people with revolutionary aboli-
tionism, design to overthrow the constitution,
and to abolish the rights of property guarsn-
teed by that instrument which is the sacred
bond Of the Union, and can only be violated
by perfdy abhorred by God and man. Thus
all the efforts of our brave army are neu-
tralized by the political poison disseminated
throughout the South, and the abolition leaders
ought to be held responsible for 1t to the ma
tion.

BURNSIDE AND FoRr MAcoN.-With the ex-
ception of Fremont, Phelps and Hunter, all our
generals in the field have conducted themselves
with rare ability, discretion judgment and COM
mon sense. General Burnside has been dis
tinguished among the most excellent of our
generals, however, and the only doubtful feel
ing in regard to his transactions was caused by
the telegraphic reports concerning the terms of
the capitulation Of Fort Macon. These reports
represented that General Burnside had allowed
the rebels to keep their side arms, and to march
out with the honors of war, and had Immediate
ly paroled them and sent them home to Will
mington in special steamer, thus carrying out
an agreement previously made with the rebel
commandant. As all our other generals had
demanded unconditional surrenders from the
rebels, this affair, as reported, seemed little
questionable, and was ascribed to General
Burnside's over anxiety to possess the fort.
Now we are glad to do General Burnside the
justice of stating that he made no terms what
ever with the rebels for a conditional surrender
Of Fort Macon. 1t was given up to him just as
New Orleans was given up to Farragut, as
Island No. 10 was given up to Pope and Foote,
as Fort Donelson was given up to General
Grant, as Fort Henry was given up to Commo-
dore Foote, and as Port Royal was given up to
Sherman and Dupont. The rebels were not al
lowed their side arms, and though paroled, in
accordance with usual practice, they have
since been exchanged for the fourteen hundred
Union prisoners now on their way home. Thus
this, like all Of General Burnsides actions, de-
serves the very highest and warmest praise. At
once statesman and soldier, knowing equally
well what to do and what not to do, Burnside
has redeemed North Carolina and made himself
famous.

Our MILITIA Orr TO THE WARs-On Sunday
evening, at eleven o'clock. Col. Lefferts, OF the
New York Seventh regiment, received march
ing orders from Governor Morgan. BY nine
O'Clock Monday morning the members OF the
regiment were notified, and at nine o'clock the
same evening the Seventh marched down Broad
way eight hundred strong, and departed for
the seat Of war; No regular regiment OF any
army in the world could equal this celebrity OF
movement. The unexpected necessity which
summoned our militia to arms and the response
of the Seventh regiment were almost simulta-
neous The people fully appreciated the patri-
otism and the discipline thus splendidly dis
played, and the departure of the regiment was
attended with the most hearty enthusiasm.
Broadway was packed with people, and the
cheers and shouts were deafening. New York
city has seen no such an ovation since the arri
val Of the Prince of Wales. Other regiments
will follow the Seventh and the gallant
Eighth, Sixty-ninth and Seventy-frst have
offered themselves unasked, but not unwel-
coined, and begged leave to 60. Massa
chusetts treads close upon the heels Of New
York. Only the perfection Of the organization
Of our crack regiments has enabled us to get
day the start Of the old Bay State. Tho other
Northern States are preparing to push forward
their forces as rapidly as possible. There is no
hesitation nor delay. The uprising of April
last is rivalled by this second great display
of the military power of the North Let Euro
peans contrast this voluntary turnout of our
soldiers with the forced enlistments and con-
scriptions of the South; and, having well con-
sidered this, let them further reflect upon the
question IT the American people can raise
such armies so speedily in civil war, what
could they not do if it were foreign force
which threatened the nation!
