NASHVILLE, 10th Aug, 1862.

We are deplorably situated
here 1t is certain that the battle Of Murlrces-
boro was IN unfortunate affair Commencing
at the time 1t did, there was plenty of time to
have sent 1000 men from this place by rail to
have saved the day and rescued the public prop
erty destroyed by the rebels 1t was not done,
however. The persons heretofore ranItesting
Union sentiments could have been relieved, to
say the least Of it, But no. they we're sacrit-
ced. They had to bear the orun. 1t will be
some time before there will be another Union
meeting in that place, until the Federal troops
will take and keep the places taken. The fact
is, no one can tell the restitution the rebels
have reduced the Union men to. In many in
stances they first Cut up and destroy all the sub
sistence to be found then demand the money
jewelry and plate about the place then search
for nything to be found on the place that will
be OF use to soldier. even to a saddle blanket,
sheets that will answer for sheets, blankets, pill
| lows, to ride on, bed quilts, any kind oi cloth
ing g.; and in the end, after the officers and most
of rhe men ride off, Il few strae q ers remain be-
hind to insult the women and burn the houses.
Many of the secesh are opposed to all this. for
in my opinion their time will come next. There
is being generated in the Union men of this
country feeling that cannot die out in this
generation 1t will descend to the children

Mr. WLLARD-Dear Sir: Noticing in the
columns of the FREEMAN the overflow Of patri-

listed to serve their country; leaving only one
man in the District liable to military duty.
One man, Mr. John B. Shonio, has FURNISHED!
five sons for the army. We have now only
about sixty men on the Militia Roll. What
town and district can show lairer record.
