Especial TO Tribune
Murfreesboro, April 90

Ao'''SNopo'Ss hPih 90
A ticteIous excitement was produced
Tonight by reports that the enemy intend
ed to attack Rosecrans Immediately. The
facts derived from best official sources are
that our scouts report tho advance of the
enemy to Beach Grove, and Wartrace, 8
hours march from this point. II is prob
able that the enemy advanced in force
without artillery. to countsrsct a suppos.
ed general advance Of this army. AT the
same time they maintained reconnois-
sance in force. They have been reinforced
since, but no military man here dare hope
for such good fortune as an attack on the
Army Of the Cumberland at Murfrees-
boro. No patriot could desire better
thing for the Union cause.

SiRs | am very sorry that circumstan.
ces put it out Of my power to attend the
"Grand Union League Demopstration, !"
a, Baltimore on Monday next.
The Union mus, be preserved, not on
~ because "Union aud liberty are one
and inseparable," but for still sterner
necessity. The Union is our only nation
atty; without it We have no place in the
community of nations, and cannot be num-
bered among the powers Of the earth.
Born to and reared in the faith that
! the Union embraces and protects all that
il valuable and good-lifs. liberty, prop
erty, the sacred ties of famly-all that is
dear to an American citizen, have new
er consented to debatable question
/ whether the Union shall or shall not be
preserved. 1t must be maintained at all
hazard and all cost; for without it We rush
headlong into anarchy, and can hope to
escape destruction only by taking refuge
under the strong hand Of despo,ism.
As Tor those who are openly ags;nst
the Union, and in fragrant war against
their country, We have but one duty to
perform. We must fight them 10 the last
extremity The issue involves the ex.
istence of the nation, and we must con.
quer them or they will conquer US. There
|, no middle ground.
And with regard to those whose ema
dated patriotism leads them to give Il
the Union their equivocal support, "witf
ifs. ands and provisions, men wht
would gladly support their country's cause
if only assured that they were serving il
good company. and that al the public
