Editor ofthe Nashville Union:

communication for publication, but / have moi
had the time, nor have time now. have been
speaking for four months TO crowds ranging al
500 to 5000 and usually about two hours. ]
am, therefore, rendering the Confederacy all the
sorvtcc can, by stirring up the North to volun-
teer in force, and crush out this wicked rebel

imprlsoning me- suppressing the publication Of
my paper, seizing upon my town property, and
driving my wife and children out of their hell

have canvassed the entire North and have
spoken TO more than one hundred thousand per-
sons, taking great pains 10 learn the actual con-
dition of the Northern mind There is a settled
purpose on the part ofthe Northern people, and
the loyal people of the Northwest, 20 crush ont
the rebellion at any and every cost of men, mon
ey and blood. The great body of the people Of
the loyal States has vowed and their decree has
been ratified in Heaven-that none but the BAN
ner Of glory and beauty, known as the "Stars
and Stripes" shall ever float over any State in
the Old United States. They have sworn that
this Government shall never be divided, and that
this country shall never know but one Govern
ment and that shall be the Government of the
United States.
have spoken in all the large towns on the
Hudson, and through the Mohawk Valley to
this city, and am pleased to assure you that
the call of Governor Morgan, in response TO the
Presidents 100000 demand of volunteers, is re-
sponded to with alacrity and soon New York's
proportion of them will be in the field.
The recent order Of draft by the President,
for 100000 more, meets with the enthusiastic ar
proval of old and young in all directions, and
the only regrets | have heard expressed are, that
he had not ordered a draft for half million
The men taken from the Northern and Middle
States are not even missed by these States.-
Everything is prosperous-crops are abundant
money s plenty, and the only evidence one sees
ofwar is in the newspapers and the rattle of the
drum and fife at the recruiting stations. True,
iron clad monsters are building and transports
for war purposes at various points-all going to
show that the Government is in earnest, terribly
in earnest.

subjugation, coercion and determination if these
measures are necessary to put down the rebel
lion and sustain the Government of the United

Hitter regrets.


Among the correspondence recently found
on board Of a captured rebel vessel was a
letter from prominent citizen of tho
Southern State to his wife, who is sojourn-
ing at distance from home. The writer
of the letter bad just returned from a. visit
of week or two at Richmond, and was
writing his wife what be saw there. The
bitterness with which be condemns the re-
bellion and bewails the misery and desola-
ton Of his once happy and prosperous
section Of the Union is poured out with ali
the fersor Of sincerity, and we doubt not
that he expresses the feelings and hopes Of
thousands Of others who, like him, dare not
speak openly. The letter is dated tho goth
ult. He says:
'sThis accursed attempt of one section 20
set up an independent government must,
sooner or later, fail and fail igRominiouslq.

TO the Press ofHe State:
The Governor is preparing his proclamation In
regulation to drafting which will embrace in full
the rules and regulations adopted by the War
Department. The rules provide
i. That volunteering for new regiments shall
cease on the twenty second (to-day) of this
month, but may be continued for regiments in
| the field until the first day of September.
u. The quota of each county and township
will be fixed giving each due credit for all vol
unteers furnished by it thenin service or enlisted
III. A commissioner will be appointed il
each county to superintend the drafting and t.
determine the exemptions; also surgeon anC
provost marshal in each, to aid the commissions
in the discharge ofhis duties.
~: Camps of rendezvous have already been
established by the Governor and commandants
of each appointed.
The drafted troops which assemble at the
camps will be organized into companies and reg
iments, by the Adjutant General, in the same
manner that volunteer regiments are organized
except that the men will elect their own officers
But few counties have returned their enroll
ments, hence the Governor is not able to make
out the apportionment among the several coun-
ties. He is of opinion that many of the coun-
ties will have furnished their full quotas by the
time drafting commences, if the present effort to
fill up the old regiments continue.
A large number of recruiting officers for the
old regiments have been appointed within few
days. These, with the aid of the several county
military committees, who are authorized to re-
ceve and pass volunteers for all regiments to this
city, to be mustered in.
1t is expected by the Governor to fill up the
old regiments by the first day of September,
when bounties viii cease.
The quota assigned to Ohio under both recent
calls, is $4,000.

Our Foreign ReIatiOns--OpinIons of Cas-
sius M. Clay.
AT Soldiers Relief Fair at Washington, on
Tuesday night, Cassius NJ Clay made speech
mainly devoted to our foreign relations.
He said he was only one of our foreign min
listers who had been singled out for abuse in
European papers in the interest of rebels which
he took as a compliment to himself and evidence
of his firmness TO our countrys cause. Eng
land he spoke of IS our bitterest enemy, with a
malignant press inspected by the government
and truthly representing its spirit France, he
insisted, was not unfriendly. Americans had
imbibed unjust ideas on the subject solely by
reports of the British press. The Emperor was
known TO be friendly to this country. He utter
ly denied that France desired TO interfere, but
said persistent efforts had been made by the
British press to make us believe she did OF
Russia he could hardly find words enough to
express his admiration. He spoke of the Czar,
and referred to his benefcient emancipation poll
icy and declared that the United States could
rely implicitly on his friendship in any emergen-
cy. Hewas assured further that England knows
Russia and France to be firm friends of this
country, and would therefore, not dare TO inter-
fere with our efforts for the suppression of the
rebellion. With reference to our war policy he
urged an earnest prosecution Of the war, using
every means in our power tocrush the rebellion.
He was ready to serve the Government here in
any way his services could be made available
but would strike only for liberty, and would
never draw the sword for the protection of sla-
very for rebels ~

The unanimous outcry of all Christendom
against the barbarity and wickedness of invol-
untary servitude is heard and needed all over
the world. Russia will, before the end of the
present year. abolish the last remnant of serf-
dom; the Parliament ebf Holland demands i'm
mediate abolition Of slavery in all the Dutch
colonies; and Brazil, the only government on
this continent besides that ofthe United States,
which still tolerates slavery has now forbidden
that slaves be sold at aution that the families
of the slaves be separated. When viii the day
arrive in the United States that human creatures
shall no longer be sold at the auction block like
beasts of burden, and the holy tie that binds

er, be no longer severed at the bidding of a nee

Ot the Calph Haroun Aiaschid.
The latest advices from China inform us thro'
the medium Of private letters, of the unprece-
dented career in that country of a young Amer
lean of this State, Who though but twenty mine
years of age, has reached position which re-
minds one of the dim legends of Prester John
Here is brief recountal ofthe story of adven-
ture:
About twelve years ago Edward Forester, a
country lad, born in Jefferson county in this
State, decided, like great many other boys, to
go to sea. His friends opposed the idea, but of
course, the love of ocean life was too strong to
be resisted, and young Forester joined those
who ego down to the sea in ships" He was
successful, and soon became the mate of whal-
ing ship, though then scarcely beyond his ma
.jority.
In Honolulu Forester made the acquaintance
of merchant of Hakodadi, and went with him
to Japan Here he remained two or three years
engaged in commercial pursuits. Thence he
went to China, where he was taken into the
Imperial service He became popular both with
the foreigners and native authorities at Shang-
hal, and was finally made second in command to
General Ward, in place of Colonel Murgiven,
who was severely wounded in some recent en-
gagement.
In this capacity the quondam sailor continu-
ed to be much liked and now enjoys the conf
dence pfall the Mandarims in the province, and
is admitted to their confidence, as well as to the
highest and most exclusive Chinese society,"
At one time Forester led band of two hundred
men against the rebels, only nine Of them return
ing, the rest having been all killed He has
now twenty thousand troops under his command.
For his services he has been rnade Mandarin
of the Blue Button, and his name stands high in
Pekin. His rank obliges him to keep at least
twelve servants. The latest letters received
from him (to May lst) state that he is in com
mand ofthe city of Soungkang; sleeps with the
city keys under his pillow; while not one of the
100000 inhabitants of the place-not even the
highest Mandarin-can enter or leave without
his permission, and at a word from him any IN
dividual out of that 100000 may lose his head.
Mr.. Forester enjoys also the friendship of Ad-
miral Hope, General Mitchell, and the other Eng
lish and French officers in China Admiral
Hope he reports as severely wounded in re-
cent fight

Shall go the battles now, Mary,
And leave our quiet homer
Shall l leave the pillow in the furrow,
And take the sword and gun3
can see by your trembling lip, Mary,
And the tear that you brush away,
That the beating of your faithful heart
Is bidding me to stay.
But my brother now is cold, Mary,
Within Southern grave,
He fell upon the CORY field
With thousands of our brave;
Amid the shouts of traitor hearts,
His noble form went down,
And methinks he wears, this very day, .
The patriot martyrs crown.
But he dropped his sword and gun, Mary,
AT the icy touch of death,
And thought j caught some earnest tones
Float on his dying breath;
They are ringing in my ear, Mary,
And haunt my midnight dream,
30 who shall bear my armor now,
As cross death $ turbid stream?"
1t seems like a call to me, Mary,
But love you, darling, So
1t will pain my heart to leave you,
Should decide to go;
know you are thinking now Mary,
Of the day when we may part,
And the shadow of that dafksome hour
Is cloudmg all your heart
You're looking at our darling boy,
The sunlight of our home,
And you picture in that fancy sketch,
An orphanage to come
But other homes are desolate,
And other bosoms bleed,
For sturdy hands and honest hearts
Our country now hath need.

bus on the 4th of July, was resolution denoun-
cling the General Assembly of Ohio at its last
session for not passing law allowing soldiers

gun by quoting as follows from the Constitution
of Ohio framed and approved by a Democratic
Constitutional Convention Article 9, Section
2, of the Constitution of Ohio reads as follows:
SENATORS and Representatives shall be elected
biennially by the electors in the respective coun-
ties or districts" Article 3, Seetion1 "The
executive department shall consist of a Govern
or, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State

the United States shall by being stationed in
