InteIIIrenoe from Na.hvIIIe.

Mr.. Charles n. Green, Claim agent at
Nashville, Tenn, arrived in this city FRI
day evening, direct from Nashville, bring
ing news which will give the greatest sa-
tisfaction to all who have been uneasy
about the fate of that city. His intelli-
gence is up to the 18th on the morning of
which he left Nashville. The fight at La
vergne had taken place before he started,
also the demand for the surrender of the
city, which demand Was all hoax, and
considered as good joke, for there were
no rebel forces anywhere. in the vicinity of
Nashville to enforce the demand; none, in
fact, but the guerrillss under Bennett, who
ly about, here and there, securing the
country in every direction, and picking up
any unlucky stragglers, and they are not
strong enough to interfere with the armed
foraging expeditions sent ont from this ci-
ty. Nashville WIS never safer than the
day Mr. Green left it, and there are 1000
of our troops there, under Gen. Eegley.
Gen. Negley was strongly under the i'm
preston that it was a military necessity
that Nashville should be evacuated, but
Governor Andy johnson not being much of
military man, could not see 1t, and OPP
posed it successfully, vowing that he would
hold the place as long as there was man
to defend it, or one stone standing upon
another in the Capitol house of the State.
The health OF the Governor is good, and
his spirits do not seem to be depressed by
the condition his city is in. Cut off from
all communication with the North, he seems
a man for the times, whose energies rise to
meet emergencies, instead of sinking at the
first shock.
Mr. Green made the trip from Nashville
to Lebanon Junction in q buggy, coming
through Franklin. Bowling Green, and
Elizabethtowu. he was accompanied by n
lady, whose name, as matter of delicacy,
shall not be mentioned, who courageousiy
offered to accompany him, and who per-
formed very important service for the gov
Prnment, no less than carrying official dis
patches from Gov. johnson to William Il.
Seward, Hon. Horace Maynard, and the
Secretary of War. These dispatches, and
other papers accompanying them, weighing
some ten or twelve pounds, the lady carried
in hustle, made for the purpose, about
her person; also, about $500 900 worth OF
Government claims, belonging to Mr..
Green. They were stopped three times by
different parties Of guerrillas belonging to
Beunett's gang and questioned pretty close
~, but Mr.. Green, who is an adept in the
talking line, spoke so slightingly and
sneeringly of the Yankees that he COM
pletelS bamboozled the guerrillas, and sue
CeeuSu III mhhIuB Inem OelleVe ne was
rebel; so they did not search either him or
the lady with him, whom he passed as his
wife. The guerrillas are fooled this time,
and Union lady has proved as smart
as some of the secession ladies about
Washington were months ago. The lady
is safe in this city. and Mr. Green has left
for Washington with the dispatches, which
he will deliver in person, and receive the
thanks, which he deserves, for the hazard
Gus mission he undertook and successfully
carried out.-CTa. Com.

Things look brisk and war.like here. Int

occupy the Kanawha Valley, as the rebels
have all left. Union men from Charleston
"ho arrived to-day say that the enemy has
not only left Charleston, but gone beyond
GRuley Bridge. Whether this operation of
tho "rebs" is the result of fear of an adj
vance from Olarksburg, or their reasonable
desires in the salt line having been salts
lied the deponent sayRth not-enough for me
to know, they are gone. Their visit through
out was sedsonable.one. The foresigh t
aud judgement eyiuced by the enemy is re-
treshing. Fearfal that some large force
might pounce down on them and wrest the
prize from their hands, they WaRoued the
salt TO @Hawk's Nest until the supply was
exhausted, and then fell back to that point
where they could safely protect its trans
portation beyond. A gentleman who has
had experience in the salt business, and
knows the capacity of the Kanawha mines
told me that the "rebs" could not have Sc.
cured less than two hundred thousand
bushels in the recent operation.
Point Pleasant is full of refugees. who

leaving only Jenkins brigands to cover up
the retreat. They have accomplished, we
presume, all they designed in the Kama
Wha Valley, which was to obtain the large
quantity of salt lying at Charleston uu-
shipped. Now they have slipped out the
back way because the presence of General
Milroy, on this side of them, aud General
Morgan (of Cumberland Gap notoriety) on
the other, rendered it unsafe to stay longer.

FoE the past two days there has been
prevalent belief that something stirring is
going on down along the Potomac. We
have the prsmonitions that have preceded
great events heretofore, aud shall not be
surprised to hear before going to press that
the quiet on the Potomac is once more bro
ken by the sound of strife. Tic telegraph
when left to itself apprises the country of
the smallest movement of the army, aud
from its silence for the last two days we
conlude that maueuyers preparatory to
battle have been going on for day or two,
if the battle has not actually begun.

regards the effect of the Proclamation upon
the Unton prisoners. Every man, he says,
including the slaveholding officers of the
Missouri regiments, welcomed the Presi-
dents edict of freedom as the door to VIC
tory. Their criticism upon it was that IL
rather Jagged behind than outran the me-
cessities OF the times. They would have
had the emancipation general, and the de-
cree immediate. The effect of the Procla-
nation upon the South was unmistakable.
The rebels, in allltheir conversations, allud.
ed to 1t in a manner Indicating thar it was
the one thing they dreaded. The negroes
were being driven into the interior for safe
ty. AT Petersburg large numbers were con.
gregated, n thousand in one pen, crowded
together like cattle in the shambles. The
atmosphere of the streets was charged with
the odor of this sickening mass Of human
