Intsryiew Between Gen. Mitchell and Mrs.
A Polk,


Interview Between Gen. Mitchell and Mrs.
Polk.
A Nashville correspondent writes this
report Of an Interview between General
Mitchell and the widow Of james <. Polk:
One day LAST week, Gen. Buell. and all
the Brigadiers Of the department. who
we're present, went in 3 body TO call upon
Mrs James &. Polk, snd her niece, daugh-
ter Of the EK-ReV General Le0nidas. Mrs.
Polk seemed determined that no doubt
should be entertained as 10 her sentiments
in regard to our unhappy difficulty, The
gentlemen present as they were seVerally
addressed, simply bowed in silence, until
den. Mitchell, who was standing somewhat
aWsy from the party was singled out To
him Mrs. Polk remarked, General, ! trust
this war win speedily terminate BY the &C.
kn0Wledgment Of Southern independence
The remark was the signal for lull in the
conversation, and ali eyes we're turned
upon the General to hear his reply.
BE stood with his lips firmly compressed
and his eyes looking fully into those Of
Mrs. Polk as long as she spoke. He then
said MADAM, the man whose name you
bear was once the President Of the Uaited
States he was an honest man and 8 true
patriot; he administered the laws Of this
Government with equal justice to al. We
know no Independence Of one section Of
our country which does not belong to sll
others, and judging by the past if the
mute lips Of the honored dead, who lies 80
near us, could speak, they would express
The hope that this war might never cease
If that cessation vas purchased By the dis
olution Of the Union Of States over which
be once presided" 1t is needless 10 say
the effect was electrical, made, as the re-
mark was, in a calm, dignifsd tone, and
with that earnestness for which the Gene
ral is noted, no Ofense could be taken.
Southern independence was not men,
toned sgain during the interview.
