TENNESSEE PRISONERS AT CAMP Nor J.

Saturday gave us an opportunity of see
ing a chunk of fight between couple
Of Arkansas travellers, who fell out by
tho way over q game of ''Keards One
drew an axe on the other, and then got
pretty well pummelled for il; other than
this there was no damage done. Con-
versation with the men reveals good
deal of Union feeling, especially with
the ESst Tennessee men; many of whom
are anxious 20 take the oath, and some
10 enter the army. While VIC were talk
ing 10 Lieut.. Col. Matson, timid youth
came up and desired TO talk with him.
He wanted to take the oath, had been
forced into the war and was tired Of it..
A blacksmith who had gone from Ash
iabula County, Ohio, and was forced in,
hardly knew what to do, ~ his family
was in the South and he was afraid his
taking the oath might effect them.
The most Of the Tennessee men are
loysl, but some Of them are not, aud
curse Andy johnson. The loyal men
are anxious for Union documents and
papers; and when we told them We
could supply them with plenty of this
kind OF reading, they were in extAoies,
aud begged US to send them as many az
we could They had a few copies OF
Governor Johnson's speech, delivered
here, and we're proud and glad Of it. We
hope our Union citizens will see that
there is no lack OF such reading as they
need Some Arkansas men were as bitter
IS they could be; and one man, very
intelligent one, formerly n lawyer in
Louisville, begged Of us not to fght
them with their negroes. They could
stand any thing but this

Since Vallandigham's nomination by
a body Of men which called themselves
Democrats, some Of the enemies Of the
present Administration assert that no is
for conquering the rebellion. Let him
state his own policy. In bis speech
at Dayton on the I'd Of august, 1862, he
used the following language:
"War is upon us and from the be-
ginning, believing az / did, and yet
powerless for good, | laid down the rule
Tor myself, and have faithfully adhered
to it, and will 10 tho end, neither to
vote foi nor against any purely war meas
ure of the Administration. Wherever
have voted on any question my course
has been governed by other considera-
tions than those having reference to my
opinions on the war. Accordingly, |
have not voted for any army bill, or
navy bill or army or navy appropriation
bill, since the meeting Of Congress on
the 4th of july, 1861. Neither have
voted against any such bill from the be-
ginning"

The excitement produced by the bold

aa A "likely mulatto woman" as Forrest

the crowd assembled in his slave mart,
came in from the country, yesterday, to

FAINT, whose smooth and almost transpa-
ao rently white complexion, and soft, golden
s, ourls, which fell in rich profusion around
lis neck, would have adorned the offspring
t Of the best anglo-saxon blood in the
city. No one would ever have mistaken
the child for q slave, but slave it was,
with the tainted blood of The African in
its veins, doomed by the laws of Tennes-
see TO be the victim of the lash, the auc-
tiOn-block, and beastly prostitution.
Happily the little gin whose rare beauty
drew forth the admiration Of the bystand-
ers, was too young to be conscious of her
degraded position, and she slept uncon-
sciOusly in her mothers arms. And
ta3 where was the father? Perhaps sullen

The 81 Louis Upton, a Conservative
paper says, in speaking OF the sentiment
of MissOurians in regard to the rebellion:
"The Acknowledgement Of rebels and
the scheme of emancipation proposed
are doubtless acceptable to Union men
and emancipatiOnists."
SO it appears from this 81 Louis paper
that not only Emancipationists, but the
Union men on masse of that State are for
DISTINGUISHING rebels. They are quite as
radical on this point as The Union
Club Of this city.

as private in Michigan regiment, and
fought in that capacity in McDowell's
