Daily Nashville union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1862, 1862-04-22


We. occasionally publish accounts of
rebel cruelty To- our prisoners Of war
which are considered incredible by many.
who do not thoroughly understand the
intense malignity Of the rebels. To all
such persons we present the following
article copied from the Mobile (Ala) Re
gister and endorsed by the Nashville
Gazette of Jan, 10, 1862. The man WHO
could write or endorse such atrocious
cruelty must be as heartless as one of
Pixies Choctaws, or else run mad with
the Secession lunacy. l."
The Yankee prisoners in New Orleans
have had the insg6raJle impotence TO
address a sort of protest to Gen Palfrey
against the reasonably strict conditions
Of their confinement, in which occurs the
following paragraph
Since our confinement not even the
ladies of New Orleans have been permit
ted to visit us, TO sympathize with us,
and to weep over our misfortunes
Is it possible that these raqqqn1V6ia and
colru7dly blackgnagls, who were captured
flying from the soil Of the South which
they had invaded, with the most ruthless
intents of slaughter and rapine, to the
slogan of ''Booty and Beauty"-isi it pos
sible that they are so ignorant of their
deserts and of the character OF Southern
women as to believe that, If notprevent-
ed, "the ladies of New Orleans" would
"visit" and "sympathize" with them,
their louths0me enemies and sweep oUer the
,atgort1nes" which are only to be deplored IN
that they fall sloyt Of aoIat IS deserved by

What magnanimOus sentiments to be
heralded by Confederate organ in the
refined and cultivated city of Nashville
Yes, these ragamufin, cowardly black
guards" Union soldiers who were ly-
ing in loathsOme dungeon were refused
the privilege of seeing one plying face
and their insulting enemies tell them
that they only "deplore their misfortunes'
because they fall short of what these
scurvy victims deserve" But let rich
rebel who has instigated the searching
of private houses, of burning bridges, o.
cutting telegraph wires, of raising ant
clothing and feeding and equipping rebe
forces, and has used all his influence t.
destroy the institutions and laws ant
liberties of his country, be arrested ant
put in Jail TO answer for his crimes, anC
the delicate nerves of all rebellion arr
so Mortified and outraged that they arr
forced to use their smelling bottles, anC
even then go off into jerks and spasm
and commissions and Mysteries. We say
with pride that notwithstanding thu
greatest tyranny and cruelty has beer
practised on our Union prisoners-nOt
withstanding the gallant Brownlow wa
confined so that he came near losing hi
! MISUNDERSTANDING that the RichmonC
Enquirer boosted that the Union prison
ers at Atlanta, Georgia, were guarded by
three men and pack Of Jlooalonds-
notwithstanding the Nashville rebel or
gans advertised for blo0dhoupds to Inn
dolOa'Lle Union men Of East Isnnessee-not
withstanding the ferocious language 0
the Mobile Register which was endorsed
! by the Nashville Gazette, the conduct o
our Government towards rebel prisoner
has always been marked by generosity
and leniency that is utterly astonishing
