The prisoners of Morgan's force in

handed over to General Burnside 10 dis

this State who have been plundered. Ne

when he found himself caught in the IA
tai net Of violated parole, tried 10 get
out by saying that il was the parole of
friend with whom he had changed coats

vealed the fact that the name was his
own. He will be tried by court martial

Freedom and Nationality.
5. G. mEuCER, Ea,tor.


From the weekly statement of the
Commissioners of Emieration, at New
York, it appears that $500 emigrants
have landed upon our shores since he
beginning of the year, being 4S 0O7 more
than arrived during the CORES ponding
period in 1862. The number OF arrivals
last week was 1,465. The Commits
sioners have balance in bank OF $751;
236 10.
So notwithstanding the civil war in
the United States, multitudes of Euro
peans are coming over TO settle among us,
in larger numbers than ever, However
the organs of aristOcracy may predict
our downfall, the people seem to have
fall faith in the permanence of free
government. The immigrants now ar
irving are said to be the best portion of
the common people; many of them bring
from $1,000 to $4,000 in gold 10 buy
lands. Now is it not clearly the policy
Of Tennessee TO encourage these people
to settle here, and revive the State by
their industry and energy? They will
not come while the black and odious
barrier Of slavery girdles us like the
fiery wall which the Italian poet saw
around the abode of the damned. They
will pass by onr mines tecming with
iron, coal, copper aud marble, our vast
tracts of rich and uncultiVated land,
and our salubriOus and delightful cli-
mate, and go TO Missouri, Kansas, Indi :
ana, or Illinois. Tennessee, all ex-
hsusted and bleeding, will drag slowly
along with the incubus of slavery on
her neck while the Free States will push
forward more prosperously than ever.
Tennesseans look toit tits cur policy
to recuperate ourselves by heslthful
tide Of immigration. We need the
labor, the enterprise, the money. Let
US invite it.
