The following interesting scrap Of news
Is told By an eyewitness to the scene:
One day last week, Gen. Buell. and ali
the Brigadiers OF the department who
were present, went in body to call upon
Mrs. james h. Polk and her niece, daugh-
ter of the ex-Reverned General Leoni-
das. Mrs. Polk seemed determined that
no doubt should be entertained as to her
sentiments in regard to our unhappy diff
fculties. The gentlemen present, as they
were seyeraly addressed. simply bowed
in silence, until General Mitchell. who
was standing somewhat away from the
party. was singled out. To him Mrs. P.
remarked, General, trus. this war will
speedily terminate BY the aekaew4eas-
ment Of Southern Independence The
remark was the signal for lulu in the con.
yersstion, and at eyes were turned upon
the General to hear his reply.
He stood with his lips firmly comnress.
ed, and his eyes locking fully into those
OF Mrs. Polk as long as she spoke. He
then said Madam, the man whose name
you bear was once the President Of the
United States; he was an honest mar
and q true patriot; he administered the
laws OF this government with equal Jus.
Il e.to oil. We know no independence O
one section Of our country which does no,
belong to all others; aud judging by tn,
past, if the lips Of the honored dead. VII,
hes SO near US, could speak, they woult
express the hope that this war might new
er cease if that cessation was purchase.
by the dissolution Of the Union of th
States over which be once presided" /
is needless to say that the effect vas cleo
trical, made, as the remark was, in calm
digni6sd tons, and with that earnestnes
for which the general is noted no ofIens
could be taken.
Southern independence was not men
toned again during the interview Nash

From Nashville.

A correspondent Of the Atlanta Coyed
eracy, writes of Nashville as follows, I'M
der recent date:--
81 had an interview today with q gen
tleman who has just arrived from Nash
Vile, whence he succeeded in making his
escape on Sunday night. All the stores
and places of business in Nashville had
been closed by the people, except few
fruit and supply establishments, which
were kept open for their own accommo-
dation. Gen. Buell. had invited the citi-
zens to resume their business, and had
given them assurances of his protection;
they had steadily refused, however, to
avail themselves of the offer, and kept
themselves entirely aloof from the Fede-
rails. The Union colors had been raised
upon but two private buildings, the pro-
prietors of which are northern men. The
BOYS of the town had stoned one Of the
houses, and compelled the owner to haul
down his flag. The people refused to take
Federal Treasury notes OF bills on North
ern banks in payment for such articles as
they were compelled to part with.
No Governor has been appointed as at
first reported 1t was thought that the
Hon. VIM. II. Polk, who was then in the
city hob-nobbing with Federal officers,
would not decline the appointment. No
arrests had been made, and people resid-
ing in the country were allowed to enter.
but not leave the city. The enemy were
at work upon the Nashville and Louis.
Vile and Louisville railroad, an ! said they
would have it in running order in two or
three weeks. The Banner newspaper IFS
published as news sheet, and few CO.
pies of the Union and American had been
issued by the printers attached to the es-
Enlistment. The editors Of that and
other papers had effected their escape
prior to the occupation Of the city by the
enemy.
Nothing was known as 10 the future in.
tentions OF the enemy. The officers were
uneasy, and seemed to apprehend that
the city had been evacuated with view
10 entrapping them in some way. Thirty
or forty transports were kept there to be
used in any emergency. No steps had
been taken to rebuild the railroad and
wire suspension bridges which lead TO the
city,
