UNION TENNEssEEANs AGAINST SLAv-
ERY.-A Cincinnati correspondent Of the
New York Tribune says several loyal
Iennesseeans have lately reached the
Union lines who declare that the mass Of
Union men in East Tennessee and North
Carolina are anti-slavery men. It Is said
to be rare thing that any of them own
slaves, and those who do have no anxiety
whatever concerning the fate Of slavery,
but great deal concerning the strength
which that institution adds to the rebel.
lion. Indeed, says the writer, all the
advices received indicate this fact that
al along the great mountain ranges ira.
versing the South there are but few slaves.
and that where there are few slaves there
u loyalty, not that kind of loyalty 80 rife
in Maryland and Kentucky. which loves
their country well. but slavery more. We
trust, i this be the case, when our armies
get down into Tennessee. and the Union
men there have chance to be heard,
they will do something to nenualize the
bastard Kentucky policy which would
hold everything secondary to the accused
institution.

The people can appreciate Secretary
Stanton's devotion to the war from the
fact that, to dispatch certain business, he
has within two weeks stayed three days
and three nights in his Office, having bis
food brought to him in basket, and using
sofa to recline on, in the intervals Of
clerical preparation of papers. At the
last reception at his house, in conversa-
ton with three Brigsdier Generals, he
publicly said: "You must fight. II you
are defeated it canaot be helped. If vic
torlous, so much the better. But You
must fight 1t is this spirit which has
animated the war in Tennessee and Car.
