from the Baltimore American.
The Boaaicd ssEIement OF strena a"
60 the south.

A great outory has been raised by the
rebels and their sympathizers because
tue negroes are az length made an ele-
ment Of strength on the side Of the Gov
eminent in its deadly conflict with them,
although for long time--from the open
ing Of the conflict in fAct-the South
has boosted Of slavery as the great "ele-
ment Of strength" on which IL could
rely in the struggle. On this point we
have two paragraphs from Southern pa
pers which will be read with interest by
our readers, in connection with what we
have given heretofore on the subject. The
first is from the great rebel Organ--the
Richmond Enquirer:
"The North has discovered from this
war Tho value Of slavery TO ths South as a
military institution; and the proclama-
tons of Lincoln have been designed to
destroy that power in our hands"
The Nashville UNIoN, the well known
and able loyal paper, thus comments
upon the statements of the Enquirer:
Yes, slavery is valuable, or rather we
"have by our folly allowed 1t to be made
"valhahle to the rebels I as a military in-
"shtution.'
awe can make it our military strength
"and their military weakness if we have
"the courage and common sense and pa
"triotism to do it. The 100000 Of
"slayes now worked by Southern traitors
&c for the benefit Of the Confederacy are
"as servicable to them as 100000 of
"loyal white farmers at the North. Sup
"pose the rebels could deprive us Of that
number of white agriculturists, would
"they hesitate to do it Not day, not
"an hour, not a moment"
The rebel leaders are fast compelling
all men to the conclusion that they are TO
be met only by the harshest measures, if
they are ever TO be subdued. When they
cannot only employ Indians 10 their mil
itary service, but when, additionally, a
body of men as enlightened and promi-
nent as the Rebel Congress at Richmond
do not hesitate to pass vote of thanks for
the serviccs Of such, ali scruplfs about
methods of combating such must soon
be given TO the winds. They themselves
have not hesitated to employ negroes in
their armies from the first; and they do
it still; and yet they propose TO show
such as are found on our side ono quar-
ter" along with their officers, and the
barbarous purpose has already been car
ried out to some extent in recent conflicts
Like everything else almost connected
with the struggle, it is question Of
power and endurance and in the long
run they will be beaten. The element
of strength" so boosted of is fast being
demonstrated as that which will go fal
finally to prove their ruin.

The louisville Journal frequently de-
nounces the Nashville UNION as an Abo-
lition organ. 1t is equally as impudent,
insulting and bullying towards the true
Union men Of its own State. 1t nom
mated Mr. MeRzies, who is one of its dis
ciples, for Congress in the Sixth District
of Kentucky, and Menzies has accepted
the Journals nomination, refusing to sub
nit to a Convention of the Union party.
Nay, the Journal with characteristic i'm
pudenoe said that nobody but an
Abolitionist would dare 20 run
against Mr.. Menzies." A large
Union Convention met, notwithstand-
ing this plantation bullying, and nomi-
mated that brave soldier and talented
gentleman, General Green Clay Smith,
for Congress. The Journal instantly or
dered General Smith off the track, but
that brave soldier, who was driving reb-
els aud shedding his blood on the battle
Geld, when the Senior editor Of the
Jauraal was Specializing in horse con-
tracts, and mule contracts, and Henry Ri
ae contracts, and pistol contracts, and
corn contracts, refused TO obey the die
tstlE and is now making a splendid
canvass in the CoVington district. The
Journal nov asssils Gen. Smith just as il
assaila the Nashville Union, by letters
from anonymous scribblers. Here is a
sample of one Of these letters in the ne
gro-worahipping organ Of yesterday;
Seen. G. Clay Smith was nominated
by the Abolition clique al Covington.
headed by that would be prince of rad
icals, Mammoth Mouse Benton a. Go. Yet
he claims to be the regular nominee OF
the Union party. The naked
truth ia that Benton & Co. are really
Abolitionistl, and only assume the name
Of Union as a gided mask, beneath
which 90 hide the Shiny filth Of their real
intentions. They are now attempting tC
hook the rings Of Abolition irto the noses

We call upon the Kentucky soldiers in
the Army Of the Cumberland to notice
the treatment which the Journal gives "a
gallant Kentucky soldier, who simply
says, that II slavery comes in collision
with the Government he is for destroy
lug IT, DO Kentucky soldiers desire to
countenanoe and patronize a newspaper
which yiIihes aud hectors and denounces

A MurfreesborO' correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette says:
A whole regiment of Tennessee troops
mutinied some ten days ago, so learn
from prisoner who was brought in by
Gen. Wilder. A brigade was placed as
guard over them, and Bragg had ordered
ten of them to be shot, aud ten more
every day until they returned to duty.
The men were compelled TO return, but
were deserving every opportunity. Bragg
now curses the Tennessee troops worse
than he did the Kentucky, and made the
remark, in their hearing, that he wished
they were all in hell. One OF their
Colonies (of the 10th Tennessee, be
lieve) had the impotence to inquire of
General Bragg if he included officers.
Quite an exciting scene of recrimination
took place, which was the talk Of the
camp for days. The Tennessee rebs,
are very much dissatisfied, and Mssis-
sippi troops manifest desire to 60 home
and defend their fire sides.

But this miserable scribbler not only
ssslils the character Of a newspaper es.

an 'elcemosynary concern" when IL
Il notorious that he started his

contributions of several kind-hearted
gentlemen, who had high opinion of his
astonishing abilities. The fellow will
sting these friends on the FIRST temptation;
IL isl viper's nature. He associated for
months with poor Stevenson, the quarter
master in this city, rode in his buggy,
and drank his wine, and afterwards
when the young man was hardly cold in
his coffin, denounced him as defaulteE
and a swinder His impudence is enor-
nous. During Governor Johnson's alb
sence at Washington, he stated that thai
gentleman had promised him $500, tC
aid him in establishing his paper how
many contributions and eleemosynarJ
donations he raised on the strength o
this, we cannot say.
Mr. Prentice's design was to palm OF
these letters, which were the joint pro
duction Of falsehood and forgery, as ex
pressing the sentiments of the Union mel
of Tennessee in regard to our paper
The artific e was a cunning one, for Nh
