The Health of Nn.hvIIIe.

Except in times of epidemic the health
Of Nashville has generally been good,
very good. No city on the continent has
been more blest in this respect, During
the past winter, and thus far, this Spring,
it has enjoyed the same good fortune.
Bat there are those, in our midst, who
apprehend that this state Of affairs can
not continue after warm weather becomes
regularly installed. They tell US, that
Nashville was never in such a condition
Of uncleanliness as at this time; and
that this, added to the number Of
hospitals here, with their hundreds Of
sick, jusiiies their apprehensions. Pri'
marily, hospitals are not TO be feared.
Kept clean and neat as those in Nash
vile are, no one need fear that they will
have an unfavorable influence upon the
public health There is more 10 be
dreaded in the general uncleanliness OF
the city. If our citizens desire TO pre-
serve tho reputation Of Nashville, they
should set to work 10 remove everything
having tendency to engender disease
Let every housekeeper see that his prem
Uses are cleaned and kept clean, and the
corporation, that the same thing is
done for the streets and alleys. No
more notable example Of the advantages
Of cleanliness need be cited, than the
experience of New Orleans last summer
under the energetic administration Of the
much abused, but able and efficient But
LEB. Epidemic yellow fever was dread
ed by the army under bis command
the COME derateS had inculcated the
opinion that IL would prove more mighty
than the sword in the work of restoring
them the possession of the city. But
Gen. BUTLER met the responsibilities Of
the crisis as a man of nerve should meet
them. He caused large force TO be put
20 work, and in a short time they had
New Orleans a model Of neatness and
purity. The yellow fever appeared at
Havana II ragged with violence on the
Gulf and Atlantic coasts; but New Or
leans passed the ordeal unscathed. Let
this example be followed here, and the
warm weather, which will soon be upon
US, will not have any material effect upon
the usual good health of Nashville. Put
your own shoulders to the wheel, citizens
of Nashville, and do not wait for others
2 to clean your city for you.

An Affecting Incident.

A Gallatin cOrresT ondent Of the In
dianapOlis Journal relates the following
affecting incident:
only wish some of the Indiana But
ternuts could see and talk wi some of
these East Tennessee refugees. They
would blush for shame when they reflect
that their conduct is but encouragement
to the rebels to go on in their work Of
persecution of the Union men of East
Tennessee. These men have left homes
of af1luence and ease within the rebel
lines TO seek refuge in the mountains or
woods from the unprincipled conscript
agent, or the red devils; and after the
many trials and tolls of the midnight
march, they find protection within the
Federal lines,
ALLOW nae just here to relate an incl
cent in connection with the above, A
few days ago, while was riding around
the picket line visiting my pickets, met
at one of tho posts eight East Tennessee
refugees, who were being held in check
by the corporal of the guard, while put
ting them through q series Of cross
questionings In reference to their loyalty.
At the time rode up, almost the first
question asked by one who seemed to
be the spokesman of the party was if
there was any recruiting Office in Gala
tin for loyal Tennessee regiments.
tod him not, but il they would go to
Nashville, there they could meet and
join their friends in the ranks of one of
bo lnu al Uan if,oa Sc H..
organized, Being satisfied of their 10y,
atty, ] passed them through the lines.
While riding along towards town, had
an interesting conversation with them,
gaining much important information in
regard to East Tennessee affairs. One
of the party "a Mr., CARSON rcmarktd
that he nor his friends would never fight
for bastard Confederacy founded upon
slavery, that must eventual = lead to the
worst form of monarchy.
"But," said /, Slavery is the life of
the South, is it noiY
'No," said he, at has been its curse,
both socially and politically, and hope
IL will soon be banished from the land.
/ will freely give up all my negroes for
the sake of the national cause and the
UniOn Of States which my fathers fought
for, and for which / am now willing to
die, Let the negroes go, and save the
Union, that we may not become a by
word tor the nations of the earth"
Jus: at this time we came to the brow
of q hill which gave US fine view OF
the many camps in the vicinity, and the
little party of lOyalists came to halt to
look upon scene they had not seen for
months. AZ this junotrre a young man
somewhat in advance called back:
Look look, Father See the Stars and
Stripesl % ''-,
When on looking far OF to the right
the 10Th boys (out on battalion drill5
were seen coming up in splendid line Of
battle, with their beautiful flag, present.
ed by the fair ladies of indianapolis,
futtering in the breeze. The old man,
bursting into tears, remarked
'Ohl for sixteen long months have.I not
been permitted TO case on our dear old
flag! Is il not glorious banner"
