The Woes of war.

Sad as is the death and captivity Of
stout and active men, and the desolation
Of the face Of a country, which follow in
the train Of war, there are pictures Of a
far gloomier, sadder hue, which pass at
times before our eyes and pierce our
hearts with anguish. Yesterday as we
were lifting in the Provost Marshaps
Office young and delicate looking wo-
man entered the room carrying little
babe three months old, in her arms.
Her appearance indicated the greatest
dcstitution and distress, and she seemed
overwhelmed with a sense of sorrow
She made inquiry for her husband,
who she heard was lying sick
in one of the military hospitals in this
place She formerly lived in Warren
county, where her husbond enlisted in
the Federal army. Shortly after, the
guerrillas burned her house down, aud
she, with her little babe, wandered forth
homeless, without shelter and friendless
and this happened in the enlightened
the civilized--the Christian State of Ten
nessee--in State of schools, and bibles,
and churches. This feeble woman and
her infant all unconscious of the agony
of that breast from which alone it can
derive sustenance, are driven out from
their blazing roof-tree by men who style
themselves "the chivalry" and the guar
dians of Southern rights. Citizens, shall
we surrender our free and benefcent
Government TO the keeping Of men Sc
cruel and unfceling? Are these guerrIl-
las your protectors and rulers, and will
you entrust your happiness to their keep
ing? Look at the homes they have des-
olated, the families they have made
wretched, the heartbroken wives and
miserable orphans they have exiled from
their heartL-stones and if you are ra-
tional men, with the feelings Of human
ity in your bosom, you cannot hesitat,
to answer No! No! No!

An Exchange remarks :

Alison, in his history of Europe, philo-
sophizes considerably on the causes that
led 10 the French revolution and the
blindness that sometimes in emergencies
oyertakes men, who from their position
in society, one would suppose, would be
the most cautious against encouraging
innovations on established and lawful
modes of proceeding. Among other
things, he says; at would seem as if,
at particular periods, from causes inscru-
table to human wisdom, a universal
phrenzy seizes mankind; reason, expe-
rience, prudence, are alike blinded; and
the very classes who are TO perish in the
storm are the first TO raise its fury" How
true that is, the experience of all great
civil connections abundantly testifes.
The truth of the above is remarkably
illustrated in the suicidal conduct of
these shareholders who have rebelled
against the Federal Government for the
purpose of protecting slavery, when all
men but themselves see plainly that the
rebellion weakens slavery every day.

Expatriated.

Mr.. w, A. CUNNISGHAM, formerly teller
in the Bank Of Tennessee in this place
who left the city when the deposits and
funds Of the bank were carried off by
its officers to Chattanooga, and suisse
quently returned here when the con-
scription act was passed, was arrested
on his return by the authorities. Yes
terday he was brought before the Pro-
yost Marshal and gave bond in the sum
Of ten thousand dollars, and his "parole
Of honor without any mental reservation
or evasion" that he would leave the
United States and reside without its
limits until the termination Of the war"
He also gave his parole Of honor thar,
he would not take up arms against the
United States, or give aid or comfort or
furnish information, directly or indirect
", TO any person OF persons belonging to
any of the so-stYled Confederate States"
Mr.. CUNNEGHAW has been very bitter in
his hostility TO the only Government
which can secure the peace Of the COM
munity and of the State; and lie is to
be commended for leaving a country
whose peace he has aided TO disturb, and
whose Government he seems 10 have
been unable 10 appreciate. There are
many who would do well TO follow his
example,

Alta Union meeting held at Morgan
town, Virginia, few days ago, for the
purpose of raising recruits, among the
resolutions adopted was one thanking
Senators WILEY and WADE for their eff
forts in behalf of the new State project,
and then another, Of which the following
is a copy:
ResUied, That we endorse the senti-
ment uttered by John s. Garlic, in his
speech at Wheeling, on the 25th instant,
viz that representative who has not
the confidence of his constituents is un-
fitted to serve them longer; and that in
his course in the Uuited States Senate,
in voting generally with secessionists
and traitors, and by his vote on the add
mission Of West Virginia as a State into
the Union, he has misrepresented and
lost the confidence of his constituents,
and is by them considered traitor; and
We therefore ask him unequivocally to
resign the position of United States
Senator which he now holds, and which
he has proved himself unworthy TO oc.
cupy.
This f How CARIitE, who is universal
ly. hated by the lOyalists of Virginia, is
the man who figures at Buchanan Demo
cratic Conservative meetings. He wants
to get into the good graces Of the rebel
leaders, before they come back into thC
Union, as he believes they will certainly
do, and to secure his own fortune he il
willing TO sacrifice the interests of his
country.

Az ApPEAL FOR ONIoNs.--A correspon-
dent of the New York Tribune, writing
from Gen. McClellan's camp, Harrison 8
Landing, makes strong appeal for a
supply of onions TO the camp. He ssys
that the men have plenty of salt pork and
crackers, but that "scurvy in some one
OF its protean forms is ready to strike
them down. Those cases need but one
thing. This panacea is a supply Of
onions-yegetables Of all sorts, pickles,
soft bread, Graham bread-anything
for a change-would answer the same
purpose. But onions are the thing. -
Onions emblem the whole. Send us
onions, and you send as vigor, life, VIC
tory Many persons have doubtless al
ready responded TO this appeal. Late
accounts from the camp state that within
the preceding three OF four days a num-
Der Of large transports had arrived at the
Landing laden with fresh vegetables, in
Guiding cabbage, tomatoes potatoes
onions, &c.
