PrIestlY Impudenee.

We have an exalted regard for pious
and consistent clergy Of all denomina-
tons, but precious little for the other
sort Thousands of the clergy, North
and South, are profaning their pulpits
every day by their political declama-
lions. The coolest piece of priestly inn
pudence that we have met with for some
time is now before us in tho shape of an
application to Secretary Seward by the
Southern Methodist Publishing House
located here, for permit TO ship goods.
This house informs the Secretary that it
is an exclusively charitable and ely
mosenary concern" and that aall its
publications are wholly of religious
character" The petitioners, therefore,
beg permission to ship goods. Now, let
us examine whether these men tell true
story. The only witness we will intro
duce shall be the Methodist Ciriqio,
Adoocate, their own paper, during the
prevalence of the rebellion. And il
would be hard to find a more pestilent
rebel sheet in all Dixie. 1t ceased to be
a Christian advocate, and became Dirie
advocate, and stupid one at that. It
published stupid Dixie editorials, stupid
Dixie letters, and still stupider Dixie
doggerel verses. The d. DPS after the
names of its apostate editors stood for
Doctors Of Di1ie. The editors got out n
Confederate Almanac, according to which
the sun did not rise, nor the winds blow.
nor the moon shine, nor the rains fall in
any land but Dixie. They also publish
ed a Confederate Primer for the benefit
of little dirty-faced Dixie boys. Mr..
East, our excellent Secretary of State,
has sent on samples of this trash to
Washington, and the Reverends may
have to wait for their permits until their
Dixie fever IS abated. But vino would
have thought that these men would be
begging favors of the Lincoln Govern
ment, as they used to call it?

We are not able to say just now whe-
Their all loyal men were forced to take
the oath by the rebels, at one time, in
this p ace, but we do know that bill to
that effect passed the rebel City Council
here. The report Of the proceedings of
that body for December p, 1861, show
that
Mr.. McOann introduced a bill 10 guard
and protect the property of the city and
citizens. The bill provides for the pro-
lection of the city by making all persons
between the ages of IL and 40 special
policemen, with Captain and two Lieu
tenants in each ward. All persons thus
liable to duty shall take an oath TO sup
port the Southern Confederacy, and shall
discharge the duties specified in the bill
under certain pains and penalties
Passed first reading, and referred.
Z If this oath was not administered, il is
clear that the omission to do so was the
result Of policy. Indeed, by JEFF. Davis
proclamation, all persons were required
to take the oath in forty days, or leave
the COnfederacy.,

Enlargement

We earnestly request our friends to
run cur subscription list up as soon as
possible to a high number. Our news
paper ought to be at least double its
present size. 1t is entirely too cramped
and limited at present. We wish the
public to have a journal in every
respect worthy of Nashville, and one
that will compare favorably in appear
ance with any city journal. Friends, if
you feel desire to see our influence in
creased, provide us the means literally,
without delay, to publish a good looking
newspaper, and we will give you in re-
turn as loyal and faithful journal as
is published in the nation. Go to work
everywhere and raise clubs. The Union,
recollect, is permanent institution

our Aim.

We say once for all to Correspondents
that our columns cannot be used as chan
nels for mere personal warfare. We
came here with no private spleen graf
fly, no personal wrong TO ayenge, but to
aid in restoring law and order and pop
ular government, and from this high
aim we cannot, will not, must not be
diverted. We have no feeling Of vindic-
tiveness towards one rebel in Tennessee,
but rather an ardent wish that there
should be universal return of all who
have gone astray, TO the true path of
national happiness and glory-the broad
and long travelled path of the Constitu-
ton. Our mission is one of love and
reconciliation towards the great mass of
the people who will act right if enlight-
ened. True, this very sympathy for the
mass sternly demands that the hand of
Justice fall heavily on the heads of Gin
telligent and conscious traitors" who
have sought deliberately the ruin of
trusting people. But except for these we
have no bitter rebuke or punishment
Friends, let us all be animated with the
spirit of love whose electric influence
will soon bind "the hearts of millions
till they beat as one!"

NASHVILLE, April 10.
Ar. Editor: / have read with considerable
interest the article in your paper touching
the propriety of testing the loyalty of the
teachers in our Public Schools. If the City
Council had passed a resolution requiring
the female teachers &c take sho oath Of ale
glance, instead of the male teachers, would
not have been astonished. That they should
have reversed this proposition, has filled the
minds of loyal citizens with amazsment and
disappointment The influence of teachers
over the children committed to their charge
is almost boundless, and the influence is
exerted especially by female teachers in
Nashville TO impress upon the minds of the
children that loyalty is crime, and that
allegiance to the bastard Government of jeff
Davis is a religious duty. These seductive
ard reasonable doctrines have more inffu
ence with the children when they emanate
from female teachers, and il ia therefore Of
the highest importance that this matter
should be attended to at once.
We are endeavoring to purify the stream,
and yet neglect to watch those who are
poisoning it at its source. While the armies
Of the Union are cutting up the rebellion,
root and branch, the teachers Of the schools
here and elsewhere in the South, are sowing
the deadly seeds Of future Instructions in
the gentle hearts of the children. Wherever
the old flag waves, it should protect the
children-the future men and women OF this
Commonwealth-irom the deadly teachings
Of those who are endeavoring to destroy the
only free government under Heaven De-
pend upon it--'he only cure for the cancer
is the knife, and il our Generals trile with
this plague spot of treason, it will spread,
until its poison is difIused throughout the
body polite.
The attention Of the City Fathers is earn
eosly invited to the discussion Of this propo.
siton: By what semblance Of right or fair
dealing, can they employ subordnates in
any Department of he City Government,
who do not recognize the supremacy of the
United States? Every rebel who is aided or
comIorted by employment from the City
Council, isaliving witness against tho loyal.

We believe that all right-minded per-
sons will cordially endorse the views of
our correspondent, f. Y. c., on the sub
ject of employing loyal teachers. It is
nothing short of an outrage on common
sense and the high behests of loyalty to
countenance and tolerate female rebel
teacher one day in schOol-room. No
woman is too good to be a patriot, and
no woman is to be allowed the privilege
of teaching treason to the Government
which protects her. We say, in behalf
of the children of the Commonwealth,
who must be in future days either pol
luted with rebellion or adorned with pa
triotism, let the City Council enforce the
oath On ali our teachers rightly. iho
more decidedly and firmly we take our
position and hold it, the sooner our cause
will triumph. We lose every moment
that we try to compromise any of our
principles. This is no time for COM
promise. We want prompt, enlightened,
and fearless action.

Activity in Cotton.

There is great briskness in the cotton
market at present at this point Loads
are constantly passing through the city
on their way to the river. One boat day
before yesterday left with some two
hundred bales. Buyers are securing the
country in all directions as far as the
protection of the Federal lines extend,
and sometimes even further. The plant
ers are acting like men of practical sense,
and are quick to trade. Good middling
readily brings ] 6 and II cents in specie
or U. S. Treasury Notes, and % and 25
in current Tennessee paper There is no
holding back on the part of the planters.
They asl fully appreciate the immense
benefits which reviving trade will scatter
over an almost bankrupt country. One
thing has forced itself upon the minds of
those even who were unwilling at first to
admit the fact-intcrferenc with private
property which has not been included in
the rebellion will net be made by Federal
troops All parties now feel secure in
this respect The Surveyor Of this. port
has kindly consented to furnish us with
the amount of bales shipped here. Our
editorial friends abroad may hal! this as
a sign Of reviying commerce in Nashville.
The administration of Col. MATTHEWS,
Provost Marshal of this city, meets with
universal admiration. Everything goes
on like clocllwork, no one is molested, no
outbreak is committed no uproar is ever
heard. Contrast with this quietude the
outrageous RIGHTEOUSNESS and orgies Of
the rebel army stationed here, as record
ed in the Nashville Gazette of January
16, 1862, We need not add that the pic
ture is far too dimly colored
1--WE have noticed on several occasions.
a disposition on the part of few Of the
soldiers on furlough here to become riot
Gus and disorderly. We have RETAINED
from mentioning the subject heretofore,
knowing that il is natural for soldiers,
who for the time being are relieved from
strict military discipline, to become un-
der the influence Of liquor. So far they
are eXcusable, but when they go SO far
as to draw their pistols, and knives, and
flourish them over the heads of quiet and
peaceable citizens, and otherwise act dis
orderly upon our streets and in the pres
snce of ladies, They forget their calling,

Reverend Doctors McFerrin and Sum-
mers, Of the Southern Methodist Publish
ing House, were so rampant in the rebel
cause last winter that they published a
Confederate Primer for little children
Their idea Of perfect system of human
instruction embraced education, hagella-
ton, and Confederation. ~ ey wrote
little verses, telling that JED. Davis was
the wisest man, and General Price the
strongest, and Floyd and Pillow the
fleetest. What touching sight il must
have been to see a Confederate pedagogue
sitting in Confederate chair in Con-
iederate school house, listening to little
urchins spelling in DIR. McFerrin's Con-
federate primer, distributing Confederate
merit tickets, or fourishing Confederate
ferule around Confederate knucllles, nod
dies and posteriors. Why, what boy
who had such a course of instruction
twelve months could keep his hands out
of other peoples pockets?

Hon. w. II. Polk passed through this
place, few days ago, on his return home
from Washington. He expressed, we
learn, firm confidence in the ability of
the Federal Government to go triumph
antly through the rebellion and restore
the Union in all its parts. The Admin
istration are resolute, calm and perfectly
confident. Mr.. Polk is indeed one of the
heroic spirits Of this State The fire of
persecution, insult and tyranny has
ragged around him, but armed in the
panoply of patriotism he has laughed
the minions of jeff. Davis to scorn.
Though bound by the dearest ties Of ma
ture to many in the rebel cause he sacri-
feed, without hesitation, every thing upon
the altar of his county. With him in
deed the Union was every thing and self,
wealth, and private ambition nothing in
this great struggle Of al time between
popular government and an ambitious oil
garch. Alas that so few like him pos
sessed the sublime moral heroism to
emerge their love of section and self in
the holy love of country! Had all who
bear the honored name of Polk been true
like him, how many tears and how much
priceless blood had been spared this day
to Tennessee

SOMETHING STARTLING.-ln the course
Of recent debate in the Rebel Congress,
Mr.. Boyce took part, and in the course of
it objected TO high salaries;
"This Congress (said Mr.. b. will have
devolved upon it great mission. 1t
may be, that in the progress of this revo-
luton, they may be compelled to save the
country at all hazards, and By the most
startling measures, and it would be neces-
sary, in order to do that, that they should
have the confidence of the people, and
@hat would give that more fully than
disinterestedness in regard to money
matters? He feared, if they increased
their salaries, that they would diminish
that influence which it would be neces-
sary for them to have in order to work
out this great mission"
Mr.. Boyce Is from the Kingdom of
South Carolina, and speaks by authority.
The country will be curious to know
what is this startling measure which he
says the rebel leaders may be compelled
to adopt. It can't be war, for they have
adopted that 1t can't be begging for
cign help, they have adopted that, It
can't be burning their crops, they have
adopted that, 1t can't be the infamous
CONSUMPTION act, they have adopted that.
Then what can it be We have no
doubt in the world that this startling maea-
sure is the very proposition which Paris
newspaper recently stated had been made
by the three Confederate Commissioners,
Yancey, Rost and Mann, in secret con-
ference to the English Government to-
wit: That, ON the recognition Of the
Southern Confederacy by England, they
would allow her, in return, free trade
absolutely for fifty years, and would
pass an act emaHoipatiag all slaUeS born qf-
ter certain time on reaching a certain age.-
Rebel desperation is perfectly ready for
this. We have not a shadow of doubt
that, rather than incur the certainty Of
eternal disgrace, confscation, exile, or
hanging, the rebel leaders of this damna-
BILE conspiracy against the liberties of
the people, would doom every inhabitant
Of the South, black and white, male and
female, bond and free, to perish in the
flames. They have no hope for them
selves, and why should they care for
others, especially the "mudsills" who
fight their battles? Would that the de-
luded masses of the revoted States
would arouse to a vivid sense of the aw-
full danger, the black and yawning gulf
of destruction, to which their devilish
leaders are dragging them. Men of the
South! in the name Of humanity we con-
jure you, fly for salvation to the all-con-
quering banner Of the Union
OF Hon. EMNERsoN ETHEuDGE says
one Of the rebel officers among the
Number Ten" prisoners, with whom he
conyersed at Cairo, informed him that
there was not single slage-owner in his
