From the Nashville, Tenn, Union.
We stated in yesterdays issue that Capt.
Brown Of Louisiana, brother.in-iaw Of Gov.
Isham G. Harris, was captured by General
Dumont in the fight at Lebanon. In this
we were mistaken. He was not captured
but slain; his horse pistols and negro were
captured But Capt. W. Il. Harris, ulst
Tennessee regiment of cavalry was captured,
and is now . prisoner We understand d
that he is a great favorise with many of the
djsloyal ladies' of Nashville, and that they
are greatly iucensed because they have not
been permitted to Iionize this gallant caYal-
Ter, and strew his pathway with roses; that
they are outraged that General Dument
does not give him the freedom of the city,
to visit his friends -unrestrained, taking his
word that he viii return. when required
That be is q capital object of admiration
there is no doubt, but why we have been
unable to guess, unless indeed 1t may be
because he is the wretch who, in the Nash
Vile Daily Gazette of Dec. l, 1851, sdTer-
tised for dogs, bloodhounds, TO hunt down

SoA4
FELLow-CITIzENs You all know that
nigger is the raw head and bloody bones,
the scare-crow that is continually held up
to your view, a never-ceasiRg agitation.
You must stand sentinel all night, you
must stand sentinel all Gay, with your mus
ket, over your darling black angels, while
they work in The field, to keep somebody
from stealing them. And you must stand
watch to keep down insurrectiOn-eternal
vigilance is the price or nigger All this
hne and c=y is kept up when there is not
the slightest danger. -z..e .a 1888
Well, gentlemen, does not all this sug-1
gest to your minds a CLEAN of common
sense Does not the weary sentinel begin
to ask himself, when will the relief come
round Ah, me when or how shall l
ever find time to enjoy myself with my low
ed ones Where is that happiness this
sacred institution is to produce When
shall 1 restP Now | see this never-ending
clamor has at last beat it into my head that
l had better take the value of these gems
from Africa's burning sands aud invest in
something that will not forever disturb my
peace, use the musket on traitors and take
the hoe to myself. Nigger and cotton have
produced this rebellion, and should be made
to foot the bill. There is a big niggsr scare
still on our Congress. They shrink, afraid
to take the bull by the horns it is not just
that loyal men should fight out the battles
to save their country from the iniquity of
traitors, and then pay the damages they
have caused. China had 20 foot to bill with
England. Mexico had to come up to the
clerks Office and settle, snd the Swiss reb-
els had to pay for all the dishes they broke;
and twenty-five dollars per head on mig
gers, and two cents on cotton, will soon pay
for educating the Southern mind s.,-- --

Statss-sir Agreeably to a communication Just
received from the Hon Edwin NJ. Stanton, have
the honor TO report the instructions gave yester-
day TO the officers commanding the several ves-
sells detailed to open Ere upon sewell's Point
were that the object Of the move was to ascertain
the Practicability Of landing a body Of troops
thereabout, and 70 reduce the works IL Il could
be donei that the wooden vessels should attack
the principal works in enflsde, and that the Mon
itor, TO be accompanied by the Stevens, should
go up az far as the wreck, and there operate In
front On the Merrimscs appearance outside or
the wrecks, the Monitor had orders to fall back
into fair channel way, and only 70 engage her -
riously In such position that this ,hip together
with the merchant vessels intended Tor the puposs,
could run her down II an opportunity presented
itself
The other vessels were not to hesitate 70 run her
down, and the Baltimore, an unarmed steamer OF
light draft, high speed, and with curved bow,
was kept in the direction OF the Monitor, en-.
Prsssly TO throw herself across the Merrimac
either forward or AFT Of her plated house. But
the MerEimac did not engage the Monitor, nor
did she place herself where she could have been
aSssilsd by our ram vessels to any advantage, or
where there was any prospect whstever
hS INSTRUCTIONS were necessarily verbal, and in
giving them supposed was carrying out your
wishes In substance, II not TO the letter
The demonstration resulted I'm establishing the
fact that the number OF guns at the principaI
work on Sewell's Point has been essentially re-
duced, and 10 not greater now than about IL; ana
that the number Of men stationed there % quite
limited. The quarters connected with th!swork
were set on FIRE by cur shells and no doubt .e
