The Attack upon the Steamer
Nashville.

II was announced by telegraph yes
terday that the gperillas, under Adam
johnson, had been guilty Of another OUT
rage on the lower Ohio. We iud some
particulars in the Evansville Journal Of
the 23rd.
As the Nashville was on her wav up
about three o'clock ON Tuesday after
noon, when about two miles above Cur
lew, at the foot of Cincinnati tow-head,
she was fred into by band of guerril-
las concealed on the shore. at this point
the channel runs within less than fiftv
yards Of the shore, and the position az
iords a fine opportunity TO the ouerrillas
TO prosecute their hellish work. Some
forty or City shots were fired, sixteen Of
which passed through the pilot house,
one Of them cutting the lapel Of the pilots
coat. The pilct, Gus. Melon, leaped
down under the wheel, and with the aid
Of Capt. Barclay, who also acted in the
coolest manner, steered the boat out of
danger. A soldier, named Curry, of the
Dist Indiana, was wounded in the thigh,
and Judge Edmonds, of Hopkinsville, a
noted secessionist, was killed. He was
standing by the side of Federal officer
in uniform, for whom the ball was in.-
tended, but happily the aim was just
right 70 pick off the friend Of the assassin.
Curry was left at the hospital in Shaw
neetown, while Edmonds was sent back
TO his friends.
Immediately after passing out of range
of the guerrillas' guns, the Nashville met
the Duke and warned her of the danger
ahead, when she rounded 20 and accom-
panied the Nashville to Shawneetown,
where they were joined in the evening
by the May Duke. The Nashville was
crowded with passengers, and il is al
most miraculous that others were not in
jured. Dispatches were sent to the Mos
quito feet, which was lying off Casey
vile, when the gunboatsrun up as escorts
to the packets. The Nashville arrived at
Evansville on Wednesday evening, bear
| ing palpable marks of the outrage.
The Duke had as part of her cargo,
the arms, ammunition, and equipments
for Col. BroOks's Cavalry, and it is sup
posed that the guerrillas were watching
for her. to whom she would have been q
valuable prize. The conduct of Capt.
Barclay and Gus Melon, the pilot is rep
resented as gallant and heroic in the
highest degree. Lou. Journal.

PROSP ECTUS
or TBH
NASHVILLE UNION,

Tbs NASHVILLE USION was commeuced few weeks
snce for the purpose Of opposing the Rebel SoutBern
Cnniederacy, and OF advocating the restoration Of
Federal authority, without any abatement, over all
tho States which have attempted TO secede. It holds
friends all Who support, and foes all who oppose
the Union Of The States. II has no watchword but
FREEDoM AND NATIONALITY.
With rebels and traitO has no compromise to
make. II contends for the Federal Constitution and
the Laws made IN pursuance thereof as the sUPRExE
Law or THE LAND anything IN the Constitution and
Laws Of any Of the States 20 the contrary notwith
standing.
It contends for the Union Of tho stateu, because
without It the preservation OF liberties and inst
tutions and the organization OF society itself arc
he way Of crushing out the rebellion and restoring
Union must perish, no matter by what name il be
ed.
To the people Of Tennessee, ever renowned for their
devotion TO Liberty and Union, until they were be-
trayed 10 the rebel desp0tism at Richmond by per.
dious Governor and corrupt Legislature, and who
have felt heavily the awful curse Of treason and
anarchy, we appeal for support Let the names of
rebel oico holders, Vigilance Committees, and Minute
Men, who have filed our borders with mourning, bo
gbbettcd before tue world. Let those ambitious aud
avarcious men Sho have plotted our ruin for their
own aggrandzement be fastened 10 the plory OF
shame, no matter how high their ~iton m society.
LEI it be shown how the seifstyied defenders Of
'ssouihern Rights" are now leading maraudIng bands
OF ree.bOoteTs add mosstroopcrs our Stute kid
mapping negroes, stealing horses and CATTLE breaking
into houses, burning railroad bridges and cars, and
numbering unarmed citizens in cold blood. Let the
truth long excluded by theSouthern cOnspirators
now circulate freely through every neighbOrhOod
aud our cause will Rssuredly triumph. VIII not loya
men everywhere aid Us in the dissemination Of iacti
and the advocacy Of Free GovernmentS

Semmes TO have cargoes Of coal at certain
ports as he may want it. He will prob-
ably remain near his last reported posi-
tion until he thinks il risky; then seek
some new locality where our cruisers are
not, and in the track of our merchant
vessels, and near the port where his coal
Is deposited. He can then sink, burn and
destroy millions Of property before his
change Of position is known, and in this
manner may visit all ports of the globe
without the slightest risk OF capture.
His powder, shot and shell will be sent
him in the same manner. Once in three
months he can run into any English port
recruit his men and coal publicly, and
find out the next best cruising ground
He may soon be heard Of at the Cape of
Good Hope, cutting of our East India
men, or he may turn up at Singapore or
Hong Kong He can 20 where he pleases,
and when he pleases, knowing full well
that when in an English port friends will
always be found.
The officers Of the Alabama evidently
consider themselves on a long cruise /:
they know the powers Of their vessel, and
are also posted as to the vessels now COM
prising the United States navy, and being
thorough seamen, understand how to
avoid the dangers Of capture, and how to
do our commerce the greatest amount of
damage IL is evidently not their inten-
tion TO fight, unless driven to it by being
caught in tight place Their object is
plunder and destruction only; and if
they are successful in future as they
have been, the record of the cruise of
the Alabama, so far as the value of
property destroyed is concerned, will be
one of the most terrible in history.
Who knows but he may determine to
dash into one of our Northern ports and
destroy all the shipping therein ? He
could do 30 and be off again before a vessel
could be sent after him. Semmes is q
man of that character that he would moi
shrink at any exploit of this description
On the contrary, it would delight him
and when we next hear Of the Alabama
it 'may be on a raid such as above
limited.
If the Alabama could be cornered in an
English port she should be taken anC
destroyed. II would be no more vic.
lation Of neutrality to do so than it was
to permit her building and fitting out il
Liverpool Our naval commanders shoult
be instructed to take her ii possible, nc
matter were found, and if in an Englisi
port so much the better
The Alabama is no doubt, from all th,
reports we have, one of the fastest screw
steamers ever built in England-in al
probability superior TO the Himalaya =
We have nothing in our service that cai
compare with her. The Iroquis stean
loop -of-war is considered the best w
have, and yet her speed, under the mos
favorable circumstances, never exceed
thirteen knots, and under canvass alon
much less. The Alabama, under sail an
off the wind, can go thirteen, under stear
alone fifteen, and with both pOssibl
sixten or seventeen knots per hour. Thes
estimates of speed are based, of eours,
upon the water being comparative
smooth. If these reports Of her are tru
and there is no reason TO doubt them
she is destined to ogive use any amount {
trouble before being captured or des
} troyed.

Naval Affairs.

The New York Post says there is am
impression in naval circles, founded ON
an order issued by Secretary Wells, that
the splendid steam irigate Colorado,
forty-one guns, of the Warbash and Ma
CARA rank, has been ordered TO the Medi-
terranean TO reinforce the fleet at present
cruising there, and that two other ships
of-war are preparing for like destina-
ton. II is certain that the Colorado is
for foreign service, from the quantity Of
stores she is taking in; and her great
draught of water renders her almost use
less on our seaboard Recruiting for the
navy having increased in a manner Of
late, and great number of large vessels
having been reported ready for sea, the
Secretary finds abundant resources &C
hand 70 keep up the usual strength of our
naval fleets on the most important for
eign stations. Thus, for instance, while
for years before the outbreak of the re-
bellion we never had more than three
men -of-war in the Mediterranean sea, we
now have five, and are likely soon TO have
eight This fact is not generally known,
many persons suppOsing that the organ
ization of our blockading squadron ne
cessitated the withdrawal of our ships
from abroad. In the Mediterranean our
fleet now aud in 1860 compares as fol-
lows:
1901 Wabash, 5000 tons, steamer.
Macedonian, 800 tons, sailer-
1862 Tuscarora, steamer, 100 tons.
Kearsarge, steamer, 1900 tons.
Constellation, sailer, 1900 tons.
4" st. Louis, sailer, 750 tons.
Colorado, steamer, 5000 tons.
Relief, sailer, 500 tons.
There seems also 10 be an understand
ing that before many months the African
and East India squadrons which were
reduced only by the exigencies Of the re-
bellion, will soon be placed on their old
footing. Indeed IL is beginning TO ap-
pear that but for the officers Of the ships
attached 10 them, these fleets would not
have been recalled at all There are now
about forty men-of- war ready for orders
at the different navy yards, and, as there
seems TO be no need Of ships at home, the
American flag may be shown through tho
world more extensively in the second year
of gigantic rebellion, than IL would have
been had no armed enemy been IN the field
against as.
Il may also be remarked that no Euro
pean power can man war vessels 90 rap
I idly as we can now do la New York
! city alone hundreds Of men who cannot
i be received apply 10 enlist In the naval
e service. II a crew for a ship is wanted,
Mr. Welles gives the order, aud in twen-
ty-lour hours the required number Of sail
ors and ordinary seamen are on board.
