Our contemporary i delighted With the
cordial approval and endorssnsnt of1he
Va'landigham address BY the Memphis
A,alansAs, ouesof the bitterest organs Of
TREASON in-all Jsffdom. Itwas eYpectcd1
that the traitors down South would APP
prove thst address, it vas approved BY
traitors in TIA North and Was got up il
the iatsrests Of the tressonocracy. There
il fellow feeling. natural sympathy
among traitors, which inslines them to !.
unity Of sentiment. ValIandighsm is
fair exponent Of the whole tribe, North
and South, and it was but natural that the
Avalanche should endorse his address,
and thst cur contemporary shonld synpa.
th:ze with tie 4Avalnn che in eulogy Of ii.
The true unlou men Of the South, how
ever, condemn the vallandighsm address,
With more bitterness than the Union men
Of the North And they aoso from the
fact that they know and realize that it
gives aid and comfort to traitor. In their
midst. Here il short extract from an
editorial Of the Nashville Union, Gov.
ANDY Johnson's organ. in reference to
that address Of the vallandighanmers,
which expresses the sentiments Of the
Union men of Tennessee, without equivo-
eplion., TIE Union says:
We have been intending for some DAYS
to notice . very remarkable movement Of
certain Democratic Congressman, well
known rs allies and sympaihisers with
Breckenridge, Cobb, Floyd and Humphrey
Marshall. A meeting vas held tho other
day by these old party hacks whose repu-
tations are as battered and soiled q 40 old
harlot's and IN address sent forth to the
people Of the United States. This for
midable pronunciamento, after circulating
Eve or six weeks, got just fourteen sig
natures.
Unavoidable absence, W presume. on
public business, prevented the nance of
Howell Cobb, Jefferson Davis, Jesse D.
Bright, Humphrey Marshall, austsyus
A. Henry Wigfall, and Neil Brown, from
adding their lustrc to this newly risen
galaxy Of patriots.
Vallandigham and his crowd want 10
continue ~ albce, and get theix old. friends
back again, and for this psspose .there
must be opposition to the present Ad-
miniatratioa.

Not one cord does this address sav of
putting dorn and crushing out the

nor guerrilla marauding, nor destroying
railroad cars, nor any Confederate ont.
1ges. 1t il dumb n the grave on the
horrors now sweeping over devoted East
Tennessee. the home Of martyrs and ~
triots. 1t condemns not the barbarity Of
the rebel Government towards our gallant
prisoners. II has NO condemnation Of
the infamous CONSUMPTION act, nor with
Aring nyectiye to pour out ike molten
lava on the heads OF the rebels Who are
burning the cotton and sugar crops. and
desolating the South. Tbsn il speaks
no cheering word Of congratulstion for
our gallant and heroic selGiers Who hsy,,
lett their farms and shops and pleassn a,
nFssides to save the Government and knen
step to the sublime nusic Of the Unios
under the flag Of the Republic. Il doea
not even hint, What every intelligsat man
knows to be the fact, that The prime aud
moving cause, the fountain hssd and
source Ct this rebellion Is dissemination
on the part Of Southern Office holders and
corrupt aristocrats to destroy free Gov

institutions. The man who il ieuoraul
