DEAR FRIEND After so long time. hav-
ing passed through the most awful reign of
terror that free people were ever made to
suffer, we are permitted 10 open cores
pondepce with you. We can partially breathe
Tree again. 1t is useless to try to give you
faint idea of the tyranny which has been
exercised over the many (although you may
have been led to believe they were few men
in Tennessee whose only crime was that ihty
loved their country, and would no: raise their
arms against Government which had al
ready protected them and cost them no.
thing.
We say we beginto breathe again the air
of freedom, from the tact that one division
of the Union army has passed by and South
of us; and which we trust will not return
until the rebellion is pat down, and God
grant that coon may be. This wish, public
ly expressed two months since, would have
cost a man his life. We are happy to say
that many are beginning to see and feel that
the one real object now is to put down the
rebellion. -r- so FFa.4igs.1a
The worst feature, snd most to be lament
ed over, is that there are so many OF our
poor boys in the rebel army against their
will, b-ing pressed into the service. No
longer back than November, Tennessee had
but 25, 900 men in the field. A requisition
was then made for $4,000 more, and in order
to get them out, our Governor, King Harris,
ordered draft to be made; and may we
never behold such time again. Noble
hearted young men, with tears in their eyes,
would say to those who had families, '' You
stay and take care of your wife and little
ones, and we will go, asking God to forgive
the crime OF fighting against principle" We
often asked ourselves How can such thing
proper? 4 -N

Col Wood p af
Dear Sir,-Captain Canood's company
arrived here at s P. NJ. yesterday, and
are pitching their tents to- day at the
northern end of the bridge, while Captain
Eldridge is encamped at the southern
end. Extra pickets and sentinels were
posted during the night, but no demon
stration was made from any quarter, and
the night was past in quiet.
The Union feeling of this county is er-
ceedingly bitter, and all they ,oant, in my opin-
ION, to induce general uprising, is encourage
merat from tie Lincoln ARMIES. They have
great many arms, and are actually
manufacturing Union flags to receive the
refugee Tennesseeans when they return.
They are getting bold enough. If I had
one or tive more companies great many
arms could be procured here in this neigh
borhood-I mean if we had the force to
spare from the bridge.

Your Bloomington correspondent thinks
Prof Sturte, ant, in his lecture on Female Ed
ucation, was so unfortunate as not to be un-
dcrstood by many Of his hearers. To us it
seems probable that as your correspondent
understood him well enough, and evidently
7ouches for his soundness, and as his comnu-
nications do not indicate any extraordinary
acutenesB in his powers Of apprehension, there
may be reason to hope that the able teachers
who composed that assembly understood the
lecturer about as well as lie did. The truth is,
President s. distinctly laid before his audience
curriculum Of female study, the equa! Of
which, in extent and thorough ghness, not one
in a hundred Of the ''graduates" Of the
most renowned Of cur "female colleges has

ent must know; and he must know, too, that
