NASHVILLE UNION.

The NASHVILLE UmOE was commenced few weeks
snee for the purpose Of opposing the Rebel Southern
Confederacy, and Of advocating the restoration Of
Federal authority, without any abatement, over all
the States which have attempted to secede. Itholds
friends all who support and as foes all who oppose
the Union Of the States II bias no watchword but
FREEDoM AND NATIONALITY.

make. II contends for the Federal Constitution and
the Laws made IN pursuance thereof as the sUPREME
LAW oF uIH LAND, anything 10 the Constitution and
Laws Of any Of the States to the contrary notwth.

It contends for the Union Of the states, because
without 1t the preservation Of our liberties and nst
tutions and the organization Of society itself are
wholly impossible Therefore, whatever STANDS in
tho way Of crushing out the rebellion and restoring
the Union must perish, matter by what name il be
called
To tho people of Tennessee ever renowned for their
devotion TO Liberty and Union, until they we're be-
trayed % the rebel despotism at Richmond by per
diouB Governor and corrupt Legislature, and who
have felt heavily tho awful Of treason and
anarchy, we appeal for support. let the names Of
rebel Office holders, Vigilance Committees, and Minute
Men, who have filled our borders with mourning, be
glbbeted before the world, Let those ambitious aud
avarloious men who have plotted ruin for their
own aggrandzement be fastened to the pillory Of
shame, no matter how high their position in society
Let it be shown how the sefstyled defenders Of
"sou,hern Rights" are now leading marauding bands
Of roe-booters aud moss troopers over our State Kid

The defences of Mobile are Fort Morgan

and Fort Gaines ON Danphine Island at the
west side of the channel. The distance
across from fort to fort is three miles, and
between these works vessels must pass be,

barues. As soon as the forts arc reduced

Fort Morgan is very large work. 1t

Burying and Marrying.

An English paper says that recently an
old man named Cherreti, residing at Corfe-
Mullen, England, had the misfortune to lose
his wife, and in proof of his affection for her
whom he had sworn at the altar to love
and cherisl, through life, he performed the
last sad office in his power for her remains,
hv himself making the coffin. The funeral
took place few days afterwards, and when
the inconsolahle widuwer went to the clerk
of Canford Parish to pay the expenses, he
stated, amid the tears that rolled down his
cheeks in great profusion, that to save time
he might, perhaps, as well do two things Al,
the same time as one, now he was there
The clerk looked somewhat amazed. wond
ering what tho two things we're, when the
old man informed him that he would pay for
the banns being published of marriage to a
second wife. The fact is. he had fallen in
love with the woman who had refus ID his
first love. The reason he gave for his haste
in contracting a second marriage was. that
the cherry season was coming on, and he
had no one else TO keep the birds frou bis
cherry trees.

Fellow democrats Of foreign birth, don't be

by such shallow sophistry. Heed not the
raving and rantng fanatics, and avoid tile
snare set for you by designing demagogues.
BE not deluded from principle and duty to
yourselves, your adopted country and its Con-
stilu,ion by the false cry of 'secessionisi.' A
strict adherence to democratic princip pies is
the only safeguard from both anarchy and des-

The Late Colonel Ashbv.

A correspondent of the New York Tri
bune, writes concerning the late Colonel
Ashby:
He was devoted to General jackson, and
frequently declared that he should be proud
to follow him in character, and for any duty
AS for his personal courage to say, that the
very morning Gen. Banks entered Winches
ter. Col. Ashby went TO his headquarters
disguised as Il market-man, and in reply 20
questions from staff officers described his
rebel self. The day before the battle Of
Winchester, he rode through the streets of
town, with one fhis Captains, in Union uni
form. One of the most gallant colones in
Shields command, who thus Observed Ashby
in three engagements, said in verbal report
to Government few days ago, that the
Black Horse General hal of late become the
mos, reckless man to be found on either
side; that he seemed to plunge into all forms
of danger with delight, riding wherever the
fire was hottest, waving his sword, discharg
ing his pistol at our best officers, and contin
nally inviting hand to hand encounters. Our
colonel once saw him leap his horse over an
abandoned gun to make such an attack
So peculiar 10y its skill and daring, was his
horsemanshp, that he long ago became u
marked man, and General Shields predicted
that Ashhy would surely be killed before
Jackson was driven out of the valley.
In the loss OF Ashhy, Jackson has been
bereft of his chief aid, whom he will greatly
miss in future generations.
