From Nashville.


From the Nashville correspondence Of the St Louis
Republican
The camps are overrun with negroes Of ali
sorts, sizes and ages, and this is the case At
Forts Henry, Holman, and DUnelsOn. Almost
without an exception, they haveleft good homes,
where they had food, rsiment and shelter, only
TO find that liberty to them is nothing at present
but destitution Of all three of these, and worse
degradation than they ever experienced in bond
age. And the officers are so trammeled by the
orders now IN force, that they can not restore
these poor, deluded and suffering creatures to
their owners, where they could be made COM
Portable, and the service bs relieved of a bur
den. This has been all wrong, ever since Gen.
Hslleck's first order on the subject was changed.
Il is plain enough now to all, except those
who won't see, that there should have been but
one order from the first, in relation to negroes.
They SHOULD have been kept outside Of our
lines everywhere, Ps strictly - possible, and if
at any time any were discovered in our camps,
they should at once have been turned out. But,
instead of a humane and Just rule, consistently
and firmly enforced everywhere, proelamations
and orders es various and changed as often as
the locations Of our different s-my corps, have
been promulgated, until we find several more
on our hends Just at this time than
can take care OF, unless Sumner, Greeley,
Wade & Co, can be mustered in At once to
take charge of this sable corps Of the army.
Nashville Correspondence Of the Louisville Journal
As this country is swept over by our enemy,
consuming al as it posses, the negroes will be-
q vast army Of themselves, of dependent,
human beings, and the winter months
md weary days of a starving spring, may make
} fearful havoc among this unfortunate race.

PROm NAsHvELLE,

We learn from q gentleman direct from Frank
lin, Tenn, that information had been received
through 3 lsdy who left Nashville a week ago
today, Of the death of Hon. VIM. Il. POLK. 1t
occurred in that city on the 18th inst.
Through the same chsnuel we have infCrma-
ton that an early evacuation of the city was
contemplated by the Federsls- That they were
making preparations for such an event is evil
dent. They had removed their heavy guns acrO'S
the river, and the impression seemed to be gen
ersl that the thanking movements of the Confed-
crates would render the city untenable, owing to
the difficulty of obtaining supplies.

-OVERTUREs FOR PEACE.

We publish this evening, from the Chicago
Tunes Of the 1O.h inst, a lengthy statement
made to that Journal by q Mr.. GREENE, relative
to certain Overtures Of peace which be says
were made through him by Mr.. DAVIS to NE
Federal CsbiEet at Washington. The account
is circumstantial, and prepared with care; yet
we cannot but regard it as q fabrication, Rnd ex-
press the opinion that Ar GREENE is 8 myth.
The Tunes, however, has faith in The statement,
and says: We print it precisely as it comes 70
Us, AID we have not q shadow Of doubt of its
perfect ssd entire truthfulAess. This conf
deace is Inspired by numerous interviews with
Mr.. GREENE and by numerous testimonials &c
20 bis character.
The administration at Washington hsvs seen
ft to deny, if We may believe the Washington
correspondent Of The New York Tribune, that
they have received fron Richmend any over
lures for pssce whatever. We quote frnm g tel
egrsphic dispatch in that paper of Saturday
last, dated WsshiEgton, December 5, 1862:
The statement in the Barney letter, printed
in t0-day's TrbHRs, that DR. Barney has had an
interview with President Lincoln, is contra
dicted on the highest authority. 1t is further 70
be stated, en- the same authority, that the Pres
ident has no knowledge whatever Of the state
ments contained in the letter, and that no com
munication on that subject, or embodying such
information, has been made to him 10 any way.
Leading Republicans deny all knowledge of
the matter, and the supposition that this letter
has any weight, from their alleged attention to
DR.. Bsrney's Statement, IS entirely erroneous
It may be added that no recent Communication
from Fernando Wood has been received by the
President, and none whatever on these or any
similar subjects.
The publication of GREENE raises q direct
issue of veracity with the administration Of
LINCOLN The latter viii probably take Mr.. G.
in hand if, as We suppose, be is fbbing.
Oar impression is that this publication is
made at the North at the present time for the
purpose Of feeling the public pulse, and that it
probably contains the points upon which tie
conservatives will endeavOr to bring about a re-
construction. The TImes makes no remarks
about the matter, except to say If such over
lures fer peace have been made from Richmond
to Washington as Mr.. GREENE describes, and
if it be at sIl questionable what coHrge the sd
miDisirstiOn at Washington are taking with
them, We think every good man viii agree with
US that the publication of Mr.. GREENE's state
ment j: time'y and wise. These overtures are
by far the most important event Of the war, and
the interest Of the country in them will be in
tense. We defer further comment upon them
until wo shall hear f.om the administration at
Washington.

~ Our readers will remember that some
three months since General John H. Morgan,
among his other exploits blew up and set fire to
the tunnel on the Nashville and Louisville rail
road. The tunnel being supported with wooden
arcEes, was fred, and as the stratum through
which the tunnel was cut consisted of bitumi-
nous shale, "a material somewhat resembling
stone coal it too took fire, snd has been burR-
ing slowly aver since. A few days since the
Yankees, finding if indispeBsably necessary to
use tie Louisville road, undertook to eKtinguish
The fire and repair it, when large portions Of it
caved in, overwhelming and burying a large
nuul6sr Of negroes that had been put there to
make the epairs.--Tatadsga Watekt0rer.
