How Union Men of the South Have Eeen
Alienated from the Good Cause

We have had a long conversation yester-
day with one OF the Lieutenant ColoGels Of
our Western Army, who was just from Ten-
nesSee, on visit to his family. In reply to
our question as to the feeling governing tn g
people of that State, he said it was worse
than any religious faEaticlsm he had ever
read of. The same feeling pervades men,
women and children. 1t is one of deadly
hostility to the North, and of determine :
tior never to yield. They regard the inva-
sion OF the South as a design to rob them Of
their property, and TO reduce themselves t,
sutjugation. and they, therefore, consider
that they are fighting for their property, their
homes, their lives and liberty. 1t is useless
10 assure them OF tbe contrary. for they i'm
mediate " produce The New York Tribune,
the Cinciuna att Gazette or Comm ercial, or
the Chicago Tribune to prove that they are
correct. And our informant added they are
In most cases too successful with their proof
ii what is to be found in these papers is any
evidence OF the objects of the war. He says
that, somehow or 9th er, the rebels get holG
of these papers, and then carefully preserve
them for references to show the bad lLten-
tions OF the North in prosecuting the war
ii e assured Us they had done infinite mis-
chief TO the Union cause in Tennessee and
Southern Kentucky by giving to the people
these wrong impressions as to what the OBJ
jects of the people Of the free States are IN
prosecuting the war. They have poisoned
the minds ol the people. have put weapons
INTO the hands of the Dsunionists per Sc to
operate upon those honestly in favor of the
Union, and, with the Abolition measures Of
Congress and Abolition proclaim atoms of
Generals, they have hardly left Union man
in the whole country through which our in
formaut was.
\ gentleman of Missouri informs us that
the case is the same in his State. These pa
pers and theirike have done irreparabIe mis-
chief TO the Union cause in that State. We
have no doubt Of the strict truth Of all that
our inform ants tell Us of the perniciOus in
fluence of these papers Gu the Union cause
in Tennessee and the border slave States
Tney can not be otherwise than injurious to
the ood cause in those States. We have
had, time and again, repeated evidences OF
the fact. They are good at exciting the
North to a vigorous prosecution of the war,
aud good also at exciting the people OF the
South to a more determined resistance ofour
efforts to put down the rebellion.

The Formidable French Kavy-Threats
OF INSTRUMENTATION to Meet Them.
By the telegraphic news from Cape Race;
brought by the Hibernia, up to the 9th ult
published in yesterdays HERALD. we learn that
admiral La Graviere will Immediately take
command Of strong concentration of French
war vessels in the american aoaers,o which con-
centraton, the Patrie says, SIS justified by ,ohat
mag arise ont of the American .oGr aud Mexican
affairs" This, taken in connection with the
recent tone of both the French and English
press is very significant. Admiral La GRAY ers
is the foremost naval officer in the service Of the
Emperor, and is to France even more than
Farragut is to The United States. He has writ
ten several works on naval warfare and not
only stands very high for his ability in his pro-
lession, but is distinguished for a high order Of
cultivated intellect and for great practical
knowledge Of human affairs. Hence he is en-
trusted by Napoleon with high political as well
as naval authority By reference to an article
in another column, containing the substance
of the report of Captain Hore, of the
British navy, on the strength Of the naval
forces of France, it will be seen that
the announcement ntained in the news brought
by the Hibernia is not q mere empty menace
but that it affords food for the digestion Of our
Navy Department and a powerful stimulus to
active exertions in the same line.
It will be 'recollected by our readers that
several weeks ago we anticipated this report
and all our contemporaries, by the publication
of the facts. upon the authority of gentleman
who had been lately Consul at the port of Bor-
deaux. This article, which we copy from an
English journal received by the last mails from
Europe, fully confirms the accuracy Of our
views, even to the very ports where the IRON
clad frigates and gunboats were and are being
built. The following is brief abstract Of the
state Of the French navy afoat on the LIST Of
