NASHVILLE, July, 1852.
You write to know how we get along.
Now, ] will tell you nothing until ] sec
you. You must 90 20 Boston aud see
our friends there-thNt id abolition
hole, You must discourage enlisting as
much az you can. Nou must hinder all
You can. You know how. If Boston
gets the men, il must be BY DRAFT. Then
il will sound good in foreign ears, and
you know now 4 hate that place We
have bad more help from Boston and
New York than from all the North, exc
cept what we received from Cincinnati.
You may not know Il, but thousands Of
dollars worth have been sent as by men
who are on Change in State street every
day. ! have their names, and if they
assist in this war, i viii expose them.
We have made allies in Boston, but
they do not want money, which / think
is an honorable exception in the despi-
cable race. Go 10 the men who fought
| the did LiucOlnites al the last election.
But Of them. Many Of them have gone
70 h. already, but some still are with
us, not for any love for us. But they
thInk il the s.. G.. is q failure, they will
get our notes. Let them think so. Wait
with cate. Attend all the meetings
Talk all yon can about the rights of the
South, discourage enlistments. Talk
| gloOmily Of the Union cause while with
Union men. Had the North been as ear
nest as we, we should have been crushed
long ago. They must not raise the 800
009, or at least soon. If they could
bring them inio The field soon We would
be in a corner. But Jet them bring them
on a few ,at a time, and we, with the
help Of the climate, will thin them Off as
fast as they viii volunteer.
Find out every ship that leaves. Give
us all the list Of naval vessels, desiina-
ton, SC. Occasionally go TO the other
places, but make Boston your home. We
have now some good allies in the army.
We are playing 4 game of bluff. We
must keep it mp. | must say that we
have met a foe hard to beat-thatih six
days fight was awful. We lost in killed
and wounded 5000 in trying TO take one
battery. A few such victories would use
us up. That Mcclellan is the devil to
us, and here is another point. You must
assist us in getting him removed. We
have had our agent ut work in Washing
ton for six months for that purpose.
Cause him TO be removed and IL would
fake but n little to raise a meeting. See
the men whose names / give you in No. ..
We have some boots and shoes coming
from neutral England; but ill ont a car
20 with them after getting medicines and
salt, thread, buttons aud wooden goods.
We are not so much in want of caps as
powder; yet we have a tolerable supply
Of that. II is time 10 see more good re-
suits from our agents North. We would
have invaded The North before this time,
but we did not wish to arouse the people
When we get them sick Of war, and the
North divided, we will 80. We shall try
The Border States as soon as we can. We
do not want to wait for the 100000 to
get together. ! hope the North will not
resort to drafting. II they do we are
lost, aud il will bring some of our friends
against us.
