W. have contcndcd, ever since the break
ing out Of the rebellion, that there was ,
large ";nority-if not respectable major
ity OF the citizens Of the seeded states
~ho were honestly opposed in heart to the
aJctr'na OF secession; an | that whenever
The federal government should afford them
protection from the military d|espotis,n Of
The Confederate conspirators, the number
Of gallant men who would. rally around the
old tag would surprise and encourage the
iayalists Of the whole nation. Our
Alisf was predicatcd in a contidcnce in the
nationality Of Americans. and the fra.
tcrnizing results Of our political, social,
and commercial relations.
Ere this, our readers are doubtless aware
1.-THE Union sentiment which greeted our
gu"b'ats up through Tennessee, into Ala.
bama. Upon this subject the correspond.
c"t Of the ST. Louis Republican who went
up with the boats, remarks as follows -
everywhere, the people insisted upon
loading their visitors with presents and as
far as Florence, Alabama, the river can be
navgatcd almost as safely as the Ohio
Blessings, chcc"s, and the widest cnthusi.
asm greeted the gunboats everywhere.
Numbers Of prominent men came forward
and said that ifthc Union army should en-.
ter Tennessee, $4,000 men were ready and
anxious to protect their homes, and would
stoncc cluster around it. Under the laws
commanding them, they must join the rebel
army or lose their property" The officers
