Ereaaa Cairo.

Especial to the Chicago Tribune.
Cairo, March /.
The occupation of Nashville is fully
confirmed. Our troops entered and took
possession on Tuesday last. The report,
Of the Union feeling being strong anlons
the citizens are unfounded They er.
press themselves in bitter terms arsins,
the yankees, Storekeepcrs win no,
sell anything to our soldiers, and prefer
taking secession shinplasters to United
States gold. The report that Governor
Harris burned the State Library, is proba.
bly, q mistake. Our forces are endcavor.
ing by kind treatment and proper re.
presentations to coaciliate civilians. bu,
thus far without avail. Many Of them
confidently expect the return of Johnston
and his rebel forces.
Before the advent Of our tloops com
plete reign Of terror existed in Nashville.
The rebel troops endeasored to Impress
civilians into their ranks. The latter RI.
sisted, and outbreaks occurred in eonse-
qnence between the civilians and soldiery,
during which some Of the latter were
killed, The Texas rangers. in revenge,
threatened to FIRE the city, and one ortwo
attempts were made in that direction, but
failed.
II is now confidently expected that the
rebels will make . stand ct Chattanooga
or Stevenson, about one hundred miles
south Of Nashville, 1t the junction Of the
Nashville and Chattanooga, and the
Charleston and Memphis Railroads.. This
position il very strong naturally, and i
desperate fight is expected.
The report appearing 10 the Missouri
Democrat, that the rebels were blowing
up their entrenchements at Columbus,
and that rumbling sound was heard ut
Cairo, is absurd The heaviest cannon.
aiding at Columbus could not be heard
here unless under the most favorable at.
inospheric conditions.
The weather to-day is cold, and heavy
wind prevails. The river is rising fast
Last night there was heavy thunde,

mr.. EsFney 81 the Slavery Problsm
La one Of bis recent letters to the Phil
adelphia Press, Mr.. Fornsy thus AZ pound,
the practical idea Of the treatment oI
slavery: 1919 : 80
The practical idea is to let slavery be
disposed Of BY military necessities and the
course of events. If slaves come within
orr lines from the plantatiors beyond the
lines, use them If they briag informa-
ton, act upon their information. If they
can work on forti6catipns, or dig entsench-
ments, or erect barracks and hospitals.
use their services, clothe and feed and paw
them. If necessary, arm them. IF they
are the slaves of rebels, free them; take
Cameron's plan, or Fremout's plan, on
any plan that's just 40 feasible. Remem.
Der our obligations to our friends 10 the
border States. Remember that rebels
forfeit all their rights. and it is proper 10
turn those forfeited rights to the use Of
the Government they are endesvoring to
destroy. The theory on which this war
10 prosecuted il theory assuming the
existence Of usurped tyranny in certain
portions Of the Union, which keeps in
thvsldom large portion Of our loyal peo-
pie, and declaresihe purpose of the war
to be the termination of this tyranny BY
utterly conquering and exterminating
those maintaining it. Wherever slavery
interferes with this purpose, let slavery
be abolished, jnst.as We abolish the rebels
right to life, liberty, property, or citizen
ship; but, as an existing constitutions
right, however disagreeable and injurious
it may be, we are bound to respect and
rccognizelit when in the possession of
loyal meG.

Treasury Notes.
The Cincinnati Gazette of the 28th


The Cincinnati Gazette of the 28th
says:
A number Of the branches of the State
Bank Of Indiana have concluded to make
their redemptions hereafter in the legal
tender notes Of the United States, instead
Of gold. Whether the notes issued under
the act of July 1861, will answer this pur-
pose, may be question, bat We cannot
doubt the right Of the banks to avail
themselves Of the forthcoming notes for
this purpose. The United States has by
law msde these notes equal to coin, in al!
businsss transactions. La all such trans
actions they are legal tender. The In
diana banks are compelled 70 receive
them 10 payment of debts due them. I,
would be unjust, therefore, if they could
not use the legal currency in redeemiag
their notes. Their charter. it il true, re-
quires them 70 redeem il coin; but when
the charter was passed coin was the only
legal currency of the United States. To
this has since been added the demand
notes and the liberal construction which
the courts would give to the matter. would
doubtless be in favor of the banks in case
of contest. Public opinion would also
be on the side Of the banks, for the rea-
son, that they have continued, up to this
time, to pay coin, and have, within the
last three months, redeemed not far from
one-half their entire circulation, They
have thus gained a reputation which fev
banks in the United States have been able
to acquire.

r. The election for Senator by the
Ohio Legislature takes place tomorrow.
Ben. Wade is the strongest man in the
field, but there are other aspirants, and a
combination may be effected to secure his
defeat.
We trust that he may be elected, if for
no other reason than an acknowledgement
Of the gratitude and appreciation Of loyal
men for his bold attitude and brave words
in the Senate at the outset Of the rebN I
lion. His ideas were right then, but It
took the loyal North six months 70 catch

This overweening notion Of their own
importance may lead to very serious in :
convenience, if they should succeed in
establishing their independence. Our need
Of their cotton is quite great enough to
render it extremely desirable that We
should be on good terms with them, and
encourage any disposition which they may
show to place their commercial relations
with us on mutually advantageous foot
ing. We might be willing to consider thu /
quarrel with them would give us 10
means Of amehorating the condition OF
their slaves, while ii would bring great
deal Of hardship and suffering upon vast
numbers of our own working people. -
But still it must ever be repngnant to our
feelings to be in intimate relations with i
Confederation formed on the ayowed prin-
-ciple of perpetuating, if not Of extending
Slavery.
Unless the seeding States can be in
duced to act with moderation upon the
question Of Slavery, they may rouse feel.

Of their leading men in the present move
ment do not seem to be aware. Some Of
them even talk openly of reyiving the
African slave trade. An attempt actual.
" to do this would, it may be supposed
be at once put down by the united force
of The Northern States. of Great Britain,
and Of civilized Europe. But, on the OIL .
er hand. it might be extremely Difficult.
to bring any of the slaveboldine States to

into any treaty engagement on the sat-
ject. Any such engagement would be
regarded by them as an admission tha.
they were in the wrong On the queeti 4
on which their contest in the North b; :
so in6amed their passions that they have
lost sight Of all reason. How could thu !

they hold to be ordainedsof God for the

G,rett Dlvlg, Esbief Of the inauen
ltial Border State ibrce,e has introduced /
snbstitstc for sena1pr ftumbulls con-
cationb BILL. His bill strikes us as miser
able hoschPot, ~ tlssding idea of whicl
is to appropriate the property Of traitor,
to the benefit of the Border State Unior
men, and to force the Government int
the position Of trustee to hold theslays.
OF rebels till Union men enough can be
found p take them off its hands, Both
these ideas are utterly inadmissable. The
first for the reason that the loyal men OF
the North viii never consent that hand
fnil OF neutral or Union men Of the Border
States shall appropriate to their own ex-
elusive use and benefit the property of oil
the traitors of rebeldom who may be SUBJ
dued by tho valor Of the Northern and
Western troops. And the second propo-
sitiou is equally repulsive to justice and
common sense, AZ It would transform ths
Constitution Of the United States Into
great charter Of slavery and constitute the
Government the great STAKEHOLDER sna
slave trader Of the world. But bad as
these propositions are in themselves, there
is one good thing connected with them,
and that is. the complete and full sanction
which they give to the policy Of confsca.
ton. Garrett Davis in introducing his
bill, and the Border State men in support
ing it, say to the country and to the world
that they recognize the right and the pro-
priety Of con6seation. The principle is
now admitted on all hands, and,by 81 par
ties in Congress, and the only question
remaining is, as to the manner of its APP
plication and the terms upon which it
shall be carried into effect.
We have no fears y to the final dispo-
sition Of the matter. The property Of
rebels win be confscated- mot for the use
Of the Border States, but for the benefit
of the entire country, and call persons
held 10 service" by traitors will find that.
there is no service due from them to trait
ors in arms against their country.
