EDITOR NASHVILLE UNoN--The warning
comes up from all quarters. Numerous ma
rauding bands are preparing to devastate zee
country. In Virginia, North Carolina, Mis-
souri,, Kentucky and Tennessee, they are Sc
cretly enlisiing, to carry out the programme
Of the rebel leaders. Now, that they are
routed at Corintb, have been whipped four
times from Yorktown to Richmond, and will
soon be totally driven from Eastern Yir-
gnia, they will no more be able 70 collect
and support barge army. They have no
money, no credit, no provisions, no artillery,
no clothing, no tents, no forage for cavalry,
and their eoldiers no spirit TO fight; they
are whipped and ruined. Their leaders are
disgraced and forced to fly to save their own
necks, while their toady satellites oil through
the South are writing under q load of con-
scious guilt. Thus In o state Of desperation,
they will rouse up ell the abandoned. sotth
less, iawiess and. desperate men iG the whole
South, to form bands Of robbers and murde-
rers There may be thirty or forty thousand
of such reckless men 10 the slave States, who
will turn oat to rob and steal Tor living.
This number distributed over the border
States, may shun all Federal troops, and rob
end burn and violate our women to an aw-
ful extent Such formidable, stealthy
force can do immense damage, before they
can all be captured and shot or hung That
they will be ultimately exterminated, is GER
tain but before thatean be done, they will
scourge the country. Like bands Of rowing
savages, they will be hard to catch and sub
due, especially when aided, as they will be,
by many private rebels. 0g
All over the country, the rebels conf
IDENTIFY expect aud predict with exultation,
that large guerrilla forces will rush speedily
on the unarmed people, and that the Union
men will be overwhelmed and scourged
Scarcely day passes withOutsome ominous
expressions from rebels reaching your cor
respondent The rebels appear to be con
vinced that they can no longer maintain
large armies to fight the Union forces, but
they pretend, or really expect to accomplish
much by guerrilla warfare.
They seem not to know, that robbing, and
stealing and numbering the unarmed, is un-
lawful warfare. They idolize john MORGAN,
and call him the modern Marion. They eulo-
gize him as brave, high.minded gentlemen
They do this, knowing that MORGAN robs the
mails, steals horses and negroes, burns
| bridges and destroys railroads and cars
They regard this as All right. THEY exPee!
and hope that Morgan viii steal fresh horses
enough to supply large cavalry force and
retake Nashville. Could Morgan do this,
they would name their childrea for him
Such is the corruption Of the ignorant rebels
by their leaders. And it is to be regretted
that they will remain blind, till their eyel
are opened by bnllets and hemp. 1t mus
be plain TO every thinking man thai all their
rowing bands win be obliged to steal anC
rob in order to live. JEEF. DAVIS can fur
nish them no money that any body would
have. Then how are they to get food anC
clothing aud fresh horses when needed Il
is evident they will have to get all these BY
robbing and stealing. Therefore, every mar
! who joins these guerrilla bands, will so on b.
trained thief and robber. If any honest
fathers and mothers have sons In these ma
rauding bands, let them pray God to speed
ly take them out Of the world, to prevent
them from becoming hardened Villains.
would much prefer to look on the desd
body of my innocent son, than to see him q
living thief and EObber.
But what must be done to protect the
people against the bands Of outlaws' The
Federal army is large, brave and powerful
But troops cannot be stationed In every
neighborhoOd. Therefore, the Union men
everywhere must volunteer, form companies
of cavalry, drill, and always be ready to
pounee on the marauders. Let this be speed
lily done and we can whip them out 10
this way we must protect ourselves till No
vember. When cold weather comes aud the
leaves fall, the marauders cannot hide aRd
live out, and therefore will be forced to quis
their villainous raids. Then we shall have
peace and safety, and not til then. 7. F.
