Yesterday morning n carriage drove
up TO n notorious house OF ill-fame Oh
Twelfth street, and a cavalry officer soon
after entered it in company with q wO-
man Of bad reputo. Lieut.. BrAnnAn, OF
the Provost Marshals office, who happen
ed 10 be in the vicinity at the time,
mounted the seat with the driver, and
ordered him 10 drive 10 the Office Of Capt.
Todd. Notwithstanding the protestA-
tiohs Of the officer and the woman, they
were taken to the Office, where, the officer
received a severe reprimand and the wo'
man was dismissed. The parties eva
IDENTIFY had no intention Of paying visit
10 Capt. Todd when they started out for
ride. Persons wearing the uniform Of
officers Of the United States army arc
constantly TO be seen riding about the
city in company with this class OF wo-
men, and il is the determination OF Capt
Todd 10 abate the nuisance. Any officer
who is 80 lost 20 all sense Of shame as 70
be seen ON our public thoroughfares In
such company, should not be allowed 10
wear Che uniform, and We are glad tOsee
the course taken by the Provost Marshal

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
NASHVILLE Union.

The kAsHyIILIE USIoS was commenced last spring.
for the purpose Of opposing the Rebel Southern Con
ederacy, and Of advocating the restoration Of Federal
authority, without any Abaisment all the States
which have attempted 70 socode. Its object was to
proclaim the doctrines Of Liberty and Union a. they
we're once expounded by the fathers Of the Republic,
but which for more than one year-the long and
dreary carnival OF trenson--had been unspoken and
unwritten In the Capital Of tho State Of ANDREW
JAcEsoS and treasured up only in the hearts Of
the faithful We believed that the right way con
duct loyal journal, in city like Nashville at such
a time as this, was to raise the wayepng aud tmid
up TO the true standard Of patriotism, and not TO
lower the standard Of patriotism, after the Of
other Journals suit the deprayed tastes Of the
semlloya and sympathizers with the Richmond dy-
nasty.
The USIoS, therefore, has held friends all who
support, and foes all who oppose the Union Of the
States Its watohword Is FREEboM AND NAnoNALfrT
with rebels and traitors 1t has compromise 10
make. II contends for the Federal Constitution and
the Laws made IN pursuance thereof as the sgFRENE
LAW OF THE LAM, anything in the Constitution and
laws os any Of the States TO the contrary notwlth-
standing.
II contends for the Union Of the States, because

tutlons aud the OF organization OF society itself are

the way Of crushing out the rebellion and restoring
he Union must perish, no matter by what name it
be called.
When thousands Of our citizen soldiers lay down
their lives upon the altar Of their country, saeri-
hce above all earthly price, and precious in the sight
Of Heaven, God forbid that any ignoble motive Of
self interest should make any wayer ia his 10y
atty. II there be any such, let them look at the
blood Of Shiloh, Fort DOnelson, Murfreesboro aud
Fredericksburg and blush at their wiokedness and
folly. Love for our country should now overshadow
every other feeling and he Is no patriot who loves
his houses, lands negroes with 1.-THE Of the devo-
ton which he feels for his country. Even prudent
senshness should compel to be patriots, for who
IAN hope 10 his treasures from the wreck Of
ruined and dismembered Unioni
We want to see the land once blessed with the
enduring sunshine Of honorable peace, baSed upon
the complete and unconditional submission of the
rebels IN arms and not lie up with the decei.ful
glow OF peace based upon emasculate loyalty, and
concessions TO traitors-the glow of meteor which
would shine only 10 betray and going out would
leave us in darkness tenfold more gloomy than that
which prevailed before.
These are the sentiments aud views which the
UNlON will continue TO advocate through whatever
ofstorm or sunshine may await II in the FUTURE and
we ask the support Of all who believe It to be import
.ntthat thoroughly and vigorously loyal newspapers
should be published In Nashville.
