The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1862-12-28

There was pretty heavy skirmishing
in front of Gen. DAVIS Division day be-
fore yesterday, and some slight skirm-
ishing yesterday, with the rebel cavalry
and artillery, some six miles out on the
Nolensville road. Two pieces of artille-
ry were captured from the rebels. A
gentleman just from Murlreesboro' says
that the rebels did not estimate their
forces at over IS, 600 or 10000, and prob
ably this is exaggerated. We have no
doubt that these skirmishes in our front
are intended to hide the evacuation which
is now going on from Murfreesboro'.
Murfreesboro' will be licked platter
when our army reaches it.

Retrlbution.

A few years ago that miserable old
traitor BccnASAE cooperating with JEFF.
DAVIS, attempted TO drive Kansas into
Che Union, as slave State, at the point
Of the bayonet, and hundreds Of citizens
Of that territory were butchered in cold
blood, or hung upby the rOadsidei in carry
ing out The nefarious plot. II failed miser-
ably. BUoHAEAE was ingloriously de-
feated. Kansas came into the Union, not
only free State, but radically Republic
can. And to-day, Nashville, that nest Of
polluted, corrupt, and treacherous pro-
slavery thieves, swindlers and traitors,
secs Colonel MARTIN, Of Kansas, appoint
cd her Provost Marshal, with a regiment
of soldiers from that State, to watch over
her. How signal and striking is the re-
fributi6n! Truly God lives in history |!

MIrcHELvmIE, TENN, Dec. 10, 1862.
EDITOR UmoS-Dear Sir ~ cannot
refrain from expressing the pleasure and
profit ] have derived from the perusal Of
your paper, and especially the issue Of
Thursday, 18th. / regard the editorial
and selections contained in that number
as eminently adapted to the solemn, crit
zeal, and stirring times in which we
live.
tits cheering TO those who have left their
homes in The Northwest, TO sustain the
National Governmentf at The risk and
sacrifice of all thugs, TO whom life itself
is cheap, in comparison with the issues
of this great conflict. / say it is cheer
ing to find journal in Tennessee which
gives utterance TO the comprehensive,
vital, and radical truths, which underlie
and embrace the entire contest, and which
have reused and sent forth the patriotic
and martial host which stands between
the Government and national ruin /;
truths, which embo died in action, will
raise us through every new trial and sor-
row to a nObler and better national life
We may say with ever increasing
emphasis that these are times that try
mems souls; )" but the men whom God
will honor as the sayiors of their coun-
try, and the deliverers Of their race from
the darkest doom that ever threatened
mankind, are now more determined than
ever to conquer peace, crush out the in
fernal rebellion, and sustain, without
compromise the Government of the UNI
TED STATES. I. @.

Tennesseean Soldiers at Murfrees-
borc.


bore.
The rebel soldiers of the Volunteer
State, in Bragg's army, are having hard
time of it in the path of folly and in
EQUITY, into which they suffered them-
selves 10 be decoyed. Half clad with
rags, without overcoats or blankets, many
of them without shirts or shoes, and sub
sisting on seanty supplies of wretched
food, their condition is truly deplorable
They have been marched to and fro for
months on the widest sort OF goose
chases, while they have been treated with
the utmost brutality by the tyrants who
command them. Their leaders have boil
stored up their spirits with lofty prom
Uses, which have all been broken. In
stead Of occupying Louisville they were
forced to retreat ingloriously from Ken
lucky; and Nashville, the possession of
which they were promised months ago,
still remains in the hands of the Union,
more powerfully fortified than ever, and
capable of being held by small garrison
against a large army. In addition to
these trials, the Tennesseeans have been
exposed to he suspicion, taunts and jeers
of the Mississippi and Alabama copper
heads, because they did not hurry into
the secession vortex, but voted for the
Union, until Confederate bayonets forced
them TO vote otherwise. There has been
some trouble and dissension lately at
Murfreesboro. The Tennessee soldiers
swear that they are done marching, and
that they will either fight or surrender
where they are. We learn that their
whole force is on the verge of mutiny,
and that three of them were shot the
other day by the brute BRACES order for
desertion. 1t is enough TO make ones
heart bleed to think of the cruel oppres-
sions to which our unfortunate fellow
citizens are exposed. 1t is enough TO
arouse the indignation of every soldier in
Che Union army, and inaame him with a
determination to annihilate tho scoun-
drels who are the authors of their suf-
ferings.

II is as much the interest and duty
of a wise government to expel ali dis
loyal citizens from its borders, as it is
Che part of prudent man to expel pois
Onous substances from his system. Dis
loyalty is the poison Of the State, and its
expulsion and destruction is necessity.
The larger the number of traitors in the
commonwealth the more urgent is the
necessity for getting rid Of them speedily.
In no sense are they benefit, in many
senses are they great injury. Let us
purge Tennessee Of traitors. Let us
drive from her borders every active and
intelligent enemy. The State does not
need them; they arc an unmitigated
curse TO her; Formidable obstacle TO
her peace and property. Why should
We longer harbor traitors in Nashville ?
Let us banish them and compel them to
give place 10 loyal citizens and better
men. This is absolutely essential 20 our
prosperity.

1t is sad to reflect how many Ameri-
cans have no exalted, refined and gener-
Gus ideas of patriotism and nationality.
They seem dead to the holy sentiment
which has invested Marathon, Salamis,
Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill
with an atmosphere of celestial bright
ness and undying glory. Thousands of
the descendants of the heroes who fought
the battles of American independence
are craven-h hearted paItropns, and das-
tards. May their accursed memories rot
like carcasses cast ont upon dung hill

Wherever a reverse has attended the
arms, persons who had hitherto
protested to be neutral, have showed
themselves to be our most violent and
malignant enemies. SO would it be in
Nashville were any disaster to befall us.
Why then should we protect and tolerate
our secl ct enemies? Why should we not
send them forth TO associate with those
who really have their sympathies?

simple questions. Win some one who is

winter clothing and blankets

ment stop the payment, by the Secretary
of War, Of Communication money, except
ample arrangements had been made for
wiater-clUthing, &c.
Bird. Why is it that our men are some
Of them (not in this Regiment,) destitute
of tents, while many OF the officers have
tents for their horses
4th. Why is it that our men "sleep on,
as writer in the Rslel Bsnner expresses
it, "with snow for their blankets and
mud for their BEDS" while tons of straw
lie wasting in few miles of camp?
9th. Why is it that our men cannot
draw full rations Of -four and bacon, OF
beef, while the officers can get hams, rice
and sugar?
9th. Why is it that officers can get
permission to go home on "Detail," while
privates are not allowed TO go beyond
camp bounds without pass signed by
