YORKTOWN May 4, 1862.
When we occupied Yorktown
the whole place presented the most pitable
appearance. A few contrabands we're the
sole inhabitants OF the town. Some OF the
most interesting houses had been torn down.
The marble monument outside, where the
British forces under Lord CORVALLIS sur.
rendered, had been knocked TO pieces and
carried away by individual rebel soldiers
Several Of the houses had been used as hos
pitfalls, but the sick and wounded had all
been removed before we entered. But bag

stores belonging to the Medical Department
have been captured Tho.e enlisted for ~
months and whose term of service has lust
expired. are compelled to re-enist. The
fall Of New Orleans produced an uneontrol-
liable desire on the part Of the Louisiana
troops to return to their homes. Ever since
the Crescent City has fallen into Union
hands the troops from Louisiana have been
stealing away and going home. The spirit
Of dissatisfaction and disgust had Infused
itself into the wholsfebel army.
The Notifications opposite at Gloucester
consisted OF earthWOrks TO command the
river. When we invested Yorktown all the
soldiers which had been encamped there
except lew INJURED NriluerlSta, were
brought over 10 Yorktown. Gloucester
Point could have been easily taken then bg
a few thousand men. Subsequently they
sent some Of the soldiers back The ancient

apart as Q1artermas'er depot Tn.

was known as Gen. Kain's headquarters.

o. THE
NASHVILLE UNION.

TIE NASHVILLE UNION was commenced a few weeks
since for the purpose Of opposing the Rebel Southern
Confcderacy, and Of advocating the restoration Of
Federal authority, without any abatement, over all
the States which have attempted to secede. lt holds
as friends all who support and foes an who oppose
the Union Of the States. It has no watchword but
FREEDoN AND NAuoSALHY.
With rebels and traitors Il has no compromise TO
make. Il contends for the Federal Constitution and
the Laws made IN pursuance thereof rs the SUPREME
LAW or TIE LAND, anything in the Constitution and
Laws Of any Of the States to the contrary notwth-
staRdlng
Il contends for the Union Of the states, because
without 1t the preservation Of liberties and nst-
tutions and the organization Of society itself are
wholly impossible. Therefore, whatever sanes in
the way OF crushing out The rebellion and restoring
the Union must perish, no matter by what name it be
called
TO the people Of Tennessee, renowned for their
devotion to Liberty and Union until they we're be-
trayod TO the rebel despotsm at Richmond by per-
hdiOBs Governor and corrupt Legislature, and who
have felt go heavily the awful curse Of treason and
anarchy, we appeal for support let the names Of
rebel o0lce-hoders, Vigilance Committees, and Minute
Men, who have filled our borders with mourning, be
gbbetted before the world. Let those ambitious aud
avaricious men who have plotted our ruin for their
own aggrandizement be fastened - the pnlory Of
shame, no matter how high their position IN society.

Serious Error.

A very serious error occurred in print

is wholly attributable to the neglect of

The condition of the army 10 such as TO give

We have more troops than the rebel Gener.

With Frederieksburg as the headquarters Of
our army, il will be comparatively easy TO fur

Creek and the railroad from that point TO Fred

The War Department will hereafter insist
that substitutes be compelled to enter the old
regiments TO remain for nine months. With
this understanding the Government will prefer
substitutes to the original drafted men.
Il is believed here that an attack upon
Charleston will not be long postponed. The
rebels have besn making preparations Tor the
attack several weeks, and ifthey are to be be
lieved, will not surrender the city simply be-
cause il may be at the mercy OF one OF our
iron--clads The inhabitants will be ordered
TO leave, aud the town If necessary be consgn'
ed to Flames rather than surrender.
SO far can leara, both the army and navy
desire that the rebels should take precisely
thia course, feeling that it would be ht aud
proper that this reasonable city should be de-
stroyed.
The preparations for attack are so perfect
that there can be no doubt that one or more
iron-clad will succee in approaching the town
at least within shelling distance.
