The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1862-11-04

One Of the most remarkable features Of
this war is the astonishing success which
the rebels have had generally in Impress
ing us with the belief that they had great
armies where they had nothing but two
or three regiments, and that they were
on the very point of attacking places
which they would not have dared TO as
sail. They succeeded wonderfully in
deceiyng and misleading us. 1t has
been a contest between strength and cam
dor against weakness and cunning.

The Rebel General SAN. JOKES, who
has recently assumed command Of the
District of Tennessee, is one of the F. f.
VS., and an officer of the old army. He
graduated in 1910 at the United States
Military Academy, and was thence or
dered to Florida, where be soon became
sick, and was ordered to West Point, as
an instructor, and remained there during
the Mexican war. In 1854 he was order
ed to Texas, and after remaining there a
few months obtained leave and went to
Washington--where he remained despite
all the efforts Of his superior oficers--in
fact so notorious did he become for his
success, that at the outbreak of the pres
ent rebellion one Of his former friends
and comrades remarked, that the rebels
should assign him TO the command of
their army Of the Potomac on account Of
the skill he had shown in getting into
Washington and remaining there.

LOUISVILLE, Sept 2.-The Legislature hav-

at noon to-day.
In the House. Mr.. Thomas offered the fol-
lowing resolution
"Resohed, That the Committee on Military
Affairs be and they are hereby instructed to
inquire into the propriety Of calling out imme~
datey 50, 900 men to serve for thirty or sixty
days, for the purpose Of expelling the Confede

Mr.. Burnam offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That. it is the imperative duty of
those having command Of our military forces
that they shall take the most speedy measures
to drive the invading Rebels from the limits Of
the State, and that any policy looking to the
abandonment of the interior of the State, and
of removing to the line of the Ohio river, is
unwise and impolitic. y

There is great excitement throughout the

ing column, and was received by bis troops
with the most enthusiastic demonstrations Of
qualification and pleasure.
This state Of affairs has of course caused
considerable excitement here, and has doubt
less led to the order which virtually places
Gen. Mcclellan in command. To the great
mass of our citizens there is safety in this
change of commanders, and by the military it
is hailed as an omen of success: All begin. to
feel that the time for trihing has passed, and
that there can be no success to our arms unless
the men who are to do the fighting have conf
dence in their commander.
The works for the defence of Washington
are al in excellent condition and strongly man
ned by experienced artillerists, SO that no fear
is entertained of an attack on them; but it is
supposed that the enemy will strike at some
line on the Potomac this side of Harper Fer
ry. General Mcclellan has already seen to the
strengthening Of these points, and there is no
doubt that we shall again have long siege OF
Washington and an indefinite prolongation OF
the war
The return Of the army to Washington is a
great modification in military circles, and it
will doubtless be one of equal modification to
the whole country After fifteen months of
toll and bloodshed We have now returned to the
starting point, and the whole work has to be
commenced over again. The Confederates
may now again relterate their assertion with
some show of plausibility ''that the South can
not be conquered" There cannot be said to
be any panic here, but the modification is
great and the disappointment SO deep that
every man seems to carry his: feelings IN his
countenance.
There is also rumors here this evening Of
change in the Cabinet, but think they are at
present unfounded. Yours, &C., C. c. +.

that they are well treated by the enem, ex-

not have in their possession to bestow. .

Sewing Women in London.

The London Times thus speaks of the
condition of sewing women in London,
and if it is not grossly exaggerated it rep
resents state of things that is truly de-
plOrable:
"The young female slaves of whom we
speak are worked by gangs in ill-ventil-
ated rooms, or rooms that are not ventil-
ated at all, for it is found by experience.
that if the air be admitted it brings with
it blacks Of another kind, which dam

is employed. Their occupation is to sew
from morning to night, and night to morn
| ing-stitch, stitch, stitch, without speech
! without smile-without a sigh. In
the gray morning they must be at work
say at six o'clock, having a quarter Of an
hour allowed for breaking their fast The
food served out to them is scanty and mis-
cradle enough, but still, in all probability,
more than their feyered system.can digest.
From six o'clock then, till eleven, it is
stitch, stitch. At eleven, a small piece of
| dry bread is served to each sesmstress, but
still she must stitch on.
"At one o'clock twenty minutes are al

its American correspondent, DR.. Mackey,

named class Of British women. Bad as we
are, we have no such uncivilized mode Of

above.

A correspondent Of the Tribune says
that the statement Of a recent arrival from
Richmond that the rebel army never
numbered more than 475,OO0 men, is gen

It is also believed that although General
Bragg himself may be at Richmond,
his army is still at the West and that
all we shall have to contend with in the
approaching struggle will be the army Of
Lee and the conscripts who have been
gathered from the eastern portion Of the
rebel States.
