NASHVILLE, March l9, l862.-Tennessee is as likely to suffer as much from the guerrilla style of warfare practiced by the rebels, and did Missouri ere Gen. Haleck took command in that State It is to be hoped the policy pursu- cd by him in Missouri will with the same promp- ttude and completeness rid us of the same class of gentry, now doing so much havoc among our men aqd the public property i'll the State. wrote you in regard to an achievement of john Morgan, on a Sunday morning or two since, and have now to record another equally dash ing and brilliant, and more successful toray on the part of thesame rebel officer
 This man has won quite reputation for dar- ing, by several exploits, such as destroying bridges and shooting pickets. He nearly sue ceeded in capturing a general. He attacked party of scouts under Capt. Wilson and killed the captain He rushed into the camp of the same regiment and carried of train of wagons, which were recaptured, however. He attacked the pickets of another party few days since, and killed corporal and two privates. Yes terday he induIged in an appearance in our rear. and actually entered the town of Galatin, twenty.six miles north ofthe city. Gallatin is . point on the Louisville aotNa hville railroad; it is ;upoStant from the fac1 that much of our supplies come by the way oft.
 Morgan, with about forty men, appeared in the town during yesterday morning. l was not advised of the precise hour but it is under stood to have been early in the morning. As the place was undetended, 1t was a small matter to sieze upon Ii, particularly as 1t Is said to be full of sympathizing secessionists, who would aid him all 1t was possible. On entering the town, Morgan immediately seized upon the tele graph office and the depot lie waited for the down train from Louisville, with the mail and
 l f Al. train did not arrive A construction train was captured, together with an extra locomotive. M The locomotives were fired up, and when full head of steam had been turned on they-were started loose, and running together, both were blown up and destroyed. A large depot builds ing eraced the town but does not now Morgan destroyed 1t and its conteuts.- Five Federal officers who were returning to Louis gi'le were also captured.
 In this new exploit there IS no room to doubt that the rebel captain has been materially aid cd by rebel sympathizers in this city as well as in Gallaiin. There is no doubt of the prevalence of a southern sentiment here, which Is so strong as to lead the persons holding to those ideas to indulge freely in the reasonable and dangerous project of aiding these men. The rebellion has been too profitable to Nashville and Nashville people. 1 will endeavor to show how, in a tu- ture letter. Their interests bound them to the Conf1d4racy and that is the strot gest induce neut with which Ii is possible to tempt human nature to be base.
 Cen. Buell. has been too kind. Good men have not been rewarded nor have bad men been punished. The people laugh at Geh. Buelrs effort to c0uciIatc. They treat him and his men with open dislain and scora. The lines are t9o loose. X wholesome tear would benefit them. We want here little more of the striu> gencv of Gen Halleck. l see no remedy for the harshness here but a little less coaXiu@ and more punishment. Within the last few days, since the movement South became general, the people have b=cIr particularly impudent and offensive.
 Men do not make any demonstrations rub- Iicg, but it is to plain by whom women, girls and bows ara pushed in offer the gros- se-t insults roNciiccrs and n.en. Any one Of the demonstrations made by the ladies would appear ridiculous if mentioned but it is cer> tam that though harmless, their actions are very agrraQatng 10 the men, particularly as the whole army had baen carlul to appear, if not in realty, polite as my Lord Chesterfield. Let me mention an instance of the means em- pi0ved by the fair danes of Nashville 10 insult our officers. Some oi our generals were stan> ding yesterday on ;he hesdewaik in front ofthe St. Cioud hotel. While they were conversing couple Of ladies, in tnli dress Of gaudy colors, approached them, followed by great dirty and sloven negro wench.
 As the ladies neared tile generals, they chan ged from lines of battle and marched to a single file although there vas plenty of room. At the same time they earthly drew th ii dresses aside, to prevent their coming in con tact with the generals-ten feet distant - and placed their handkerche9 upon their dim~ nutiye nasal organs. The negro wench had been drilled, and 1t was with the most serious face and admirable deIicacy that she drew her hopless skirt to one side and put great red baadanna to her nose One general scratch. ed his pate with puzzled air another wore in approved "Geaman style,' while third ap' peared to enjoy the joke of the ladies and an ger and chagrin of his friends.
