The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1862-12-14
An "Intelligen mt Correspondent

The indianapolis Sentinel has cores
pendent in this city who is altogether
worthy Of that paper. In describing
the deiences Of this place he says
aWest Of this is Fort Con6scation, SC
named because the bill on which ii is
situated has been coDfiscated. BY what
authority know not, but surely not BY
the SO. called conbscaiion act of Congress
Ii might be called Fort Appropriation,
for the property, belonging TO motel rebel
has been appropriated"
Thisis not only wholly untre, but it does
cruel iDjusiice TO the owner of the prop
erty, DIR. WIN. p. JONES, the Superinten-
dent of the State Lunatic Asylum, who
is as loyal and true man as there is in
the land. His Unionism is without an II,
or condition, and there is not mem
her Of his family who feels the least
sympathy with secessionism. Why such
q name as Confiscation was given 10 the
works built around his residence, is a
mystery TO us. Cannot our Militay
Authorities change Ito one which would
mot be stigma and reproach to the home
of family whose patriotism has been
unwayeripg? We trust SO.
The Sentineps correspondent again
says:
in my travels yesterday ] fell in with
q native Union man, and as had
nothing else TO do / concluded | would
trv to learn what Unionism is, as rep
resented and understood by him. In the
first place he is in favor Of the Union
provided the Government will agree to
redeem Confederate bonds with Lincoln
greens. He thinks that all rebels should
he pardoned in full, and Southern war
expenses, including the cotton burnt
farms, railroads, and bridges destroyed
by both parties, and the general expen-
SEES, should be assumed by the Washing
ingion Government, and then the Consti-
tuition should be amended so as to guaran-
tee aaveto power at least TO the Southern
States. Perhaps | slightly intimated to
him that that kind of Unionism did not
60 in cur country. He assured ne there
was no other in this country, except a fen
fanatics of The Indy johnson school, 'oho
could not muster a Coyporaps guard IN all
Tennessee. L guess the man IS more than
halt right.
Tt is very strange that professed
loyal correspondent { a chaplain, we
believe, in the Federal army Of an Indi-
ana paper, should set forth this
"native Union man. as represen-
tative of the Union sentiment of this
State; and still more strange that lie
should add that his "natiye Union man"
was more than half right in saying that
the "fanatics Of The Anay johnson school
could not muster Corporal's Guard in
all Tennessee. Every intelligent man
knows that this statement is reckless
and wicked Islander. The leading views
OF Governor JOHNSON in reference 10 the
rebellion and its supporters, are enthusi-
asticalIy endorsed by an overwhelming
msjority Of the Union men Of this State.
The secret of this low fling at Tennessee
loyalty is, that the Incorporating
views of Governor JoHNsoS are not ac-
ceptabIe 10 such rebel sympathizers as
the editors of the Sentinel and their
friends, who at heart favor the views Of
che native Union man." With such
lukewarm loyalty the patriots Of this
State, and their bold and iniexible leader
have no fellowship, The purposes Of the
man may well excite suspicion who
speaks with half suppressed sneer Of
the fanatcism of such men as JQANsoS,
ETHERIpeE, CAMrBELI, and
Who are faithful if these
are not?
