Tens Of thousands of brave patriots are
enduring hardships. Drawing dangers and
risking life and limb in defense Of the
Union. These men are in earnest. They
are battling in cause that they feel and
know to be right.
Think Of these brave and valiant men,
what they are doing. have done, and are
ready and willing to do, and contrast the
spirit that animates them in their oble
work with that which animates the coward
ly. unmanly and scheming political parti-
zans who are assaiiing in the rear the sa-
cred cause for which the officers and soldiers
Of the Union are fighting amid the din,
dangers and terrors of the front, where the
battles rage. tho blood streams, and the
victories are won. Ave, contrast the
spirit of the soldiers of the Union with the
spirit of the copperhead politicians and
presses. and what disgraceful and shame
full picture the latter present to the civil
lied world. which as warmly admires q
noble manhood as it deeply dsspises
groveling cowardice and inscriptions Gu
pidity.
The American soldier risks his life for
his country; the copperhead politician
sacrifices his honor and brings disgrace
upon his posterity by acting the traitor
the ally of the would-be dsstroyers of his
country.
With this picture before him, surely no
honorable man-no man having any self
respect or manliness-however much he
may affect politics or aspire to partisan
leadership or political honors, would en-
bark n the unholy and Infamous work oil
sssailing, opposing or embarrassing those
who have in hand the prodigious task OF
putting down the rebellion and saving the
Republic.

Mo Travel to Tennessee.

Major General Rosecrans has issued
an order that citizens shall not be per-
mitted to pass to Nashville or points in
Tennessee on business, or visits to friends
in the army, or for any other purpose
The reason of this restriction is, that If
passes were granted to all who desire to
visit Tennessee, the whole country would
be overrun in short time. and it would
be difficult to feed them without drawing
upon supplies intended for the army
When the fact is understood that Rose
GRAMS army has mainly to depend upon
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad for
supplies. which, Of course. could not be
sent if the trains were continually loaded
with passengers, the necessity of the order
prohibiting passes will be understood
Due notice will be given when travel can
be resumed.
