For the Nashville Daily Union.
This Great Rebellion and its Fruits.
IT'S FALSE PRErENsEs.


And what, fellow citizens, have been the
history and result Of the struggle into which
our people we're thus buried by fraud, force,
aud tyrannicaI usurpation Of power? We
cannot here enter into all the details Of
wickedness and crime which have character
lied the acts Of the rebel leaders and armies
since this unnatural and reasonable war
began. We may not omit TO mention, how
ever, that not only have all the honored
principles upon which our free government
is founded, been set at naugbt by the rebel
powers; but even those specious pretenses
upon which the conspirators relied for jusii-
dcation Of their unlawful acts, have been
thrown aside as the war progressed, and The
hope OF success rendered them insolent, or
reverses rendered them desperate.
Setting out with the assumption that each
State might assert the right to choose her
own destiny, they have denied that right to
the States Of Missouri and Kentucky, and
sought by armed invasion to overrun and
subjugate the people of those States to the
rule Of the rebel oligarcby.
Setting out with a construction Of the doc
trine that the people have the right to change
altar, or amend the form of government,
which deduced thereirom the doctrine Of the
right of State to withdraw from and make
war upon the nation, they have denied to
the people Of a section of State, like East
Tennessee and Western Virginia, q similar
right to withdraw from State and adhere
to the national government; and yet at the
same time they have encouraged the people
of section of Kentucky to rebel against the
authority of the State.
They have inveighed against alleged vic.
latiOns Of the constitution of the country
and the suspension Of the writ Of haJeas cor
pus, by the national government; yet their
own course has been one continued violation
of all constitutions and laws which lay 10
the way of their ambitious scheme The
writ of habeqs corpus is dead letter under the
rebel government; and personal liberty has
utterly disappeared before the edicts of the
reyolution, The people are forced by odious
and tyrannical CONSUMPTION into the rebel
army, regardless OF their wishes or circum
stances. Many Of your sons who have been
beguiled into the ranks, aud have served
cut the term of their enlistment and wo uld
fain lay down their arms and return to their
homes, if not to their allegiance, are held by
impressment in the rebel service. Peaceable
citizens who are disposed, though still loyal
to their government, to pursue their usual
avocations, not DESTROYS to enlist in the
forces on either side, are dragged from their
homes and dependent families, and mode to
fight against their convictions the battles of
their rebel rulers.

WHAT SUCCESS.

And what auccess has been achieved by
all this sacrifice of liberty, right, property,
and life? The march of the Government
has been steadily onward to the restoration
Of its rlghtful authority. The old flag, the
ensign Of civil and religious liberty, is tri
umphanuy crowned with victory upon al
most every battlefield The rebellion is a
failure. The forces Of the conspirators seem
likely soon to be reduced to mere bands of
robbers prOwliug through the land, and few
privateers upon the sea. Little remains Of
their great armies save q disorganised aud
fleeing mass of men, disguised with their
leaders and their cause, aud who would
gladly embrace an opportunity SO lay down
their arms.
No hope remains TO its votaries of the es
tabliehment Of Southern Coniederacy,
save in the utter laying waste of the coun
Try by barbaric depredations, TO render II
unfit for the abode of an orderly popuIa-
ton; or else In the interference Of foreign
powers in our domestic afairs.

REBEL ATROCITIES.

Men, for their loyalty, are driven ignc-
miniously from their homes, their wives and
children turned cut OF their babitations, de-
spoiled Of their property, and reduced to
desGtution and want. Others have been
dragged away to prison, merely because
they would not become partakers in crime,
and there subjected to a cruelty of treat
ment which would dishonor a savage people,
under the rigors of which many have laid
down their lives. Others again, for suspect
ed service of their government have been
executed by summary process, in the most
ignominiOus manner
Your rights Of property have been dsre-
garded. Beginning by a wholesale act of
plumber in attempting to sequestrate aud
confiscate the debts aud property of the
people Of other States and of loyal exiles,
the rebels have gone on to the destru ction of
the property, public and private, Of their
own friends, The torch of the incendiary
has been applied to your bridges, to your
produce, TO your dwellings and to your

FORTRESS MONROE, Nov. 24.-The Southern
papers received here to-day contain the follow.
ing items .... .u4aas 4 |..
The Savannah RepuJiican says; "We have
reason to believe Government has again put the
wheels of war in motion in the right direction,
which, properly conducted, will thwart all the
cherished plans of the enemy, and secure his
overthrow at every point to which they are d.
rected. We shall hear of the result at an early
day."
The Daily Sentinel, Augusta, Georgia, OF
November 10, says;
"John c. Cole, refugee from Missouri, has
invented a machine for making percussion caps
which excels anything of the Kind either North
or South. Its superiority consists In the man
ner In which the cap is cut from the copper and
formed, at single operation, without trans
ferring from one tool to another. II Is capa.
BILE of making by hand one hundred per minute,
and by steam lO5, 1000 per day."
at has been discovered in Georgia that by
digging wells forty miles from the main shore
(where the tide runs, and out Of reach Of thu
Yankees,) water Is obtained, of which two
hundred and fifty gallons viii make one bushe
of salt, whereas 1t takes seven hundred gallon
of tide-water TO make the same quantity.
"a shoemaker In Knoxville, the other day
charged $50 for pair of boots. He was i'm
mediately conscripted for extortion."
DEFESoE OF SAVANNAH.
"The city authorities Of Savannah, Georgia
are making arrangements TO move the non
combatants from that city, preparatory to tn
anticipated attack of the enemy. The follow
| ing resolution was unanimously adopted by th
State Senate;
"Resoived, That the city of Savannah shoul'
never be surrendered; that IL should be de
Tended, street by street; until, If taken, tn
victors' spoils shall be heap Of ruins"

the following mischievous paragraph:
Burnside is on the eve of a struggle within
the small space between our capital and the
rebel capital, which will almost certainly de-
eide the fate Of one or the other of these capi-
tails, and may even decide the fate of this re-
bellion or of our beloved Union"
The fate of this rebellion, or of the Union, is
not TO be decided by any single battle, to be
fought anywhere, and least of all in Virginia.
We have had an indecisive war in that State
for twenty months. JEFF. Davis says he can
continue ii for twenty years. There never was
but one way to put down the rebellion, and
that is, to put down slavery, and that is to be
done in the cotton States. No conceivable re.
suit of any campaign in the border States will
end this war.
