SWORD PREsENTATIoN-Ther seems
to be a complete mania at Nashville for
presenting swords. Among others, we
notice that Capt. Samuel j. Little has
been the recipient of a testimonial of
that description from the clerks in his
department Capt Little was stationed
at our city for some months in the Com
missary department, from whence hewas
transferred to Nashville. The numer-
GUS friends he made while stationed here
can bear testimony that no sword has
been more worthily bestowed in Nash
vile, than that buekled on the Captain
by his friends of the Commissary De-
partment of that city.

This onnnrtunitx I take

This opportunity take
To write to you for friendships sake,
And though we are SO far apart,
Sweet memory of yorc fills my heart.
And whilst writing these few lines,
! am thinking of chose happy times
When my heart was light and all was Joy,
Ere I became soldier boy.
And though those times are long, long past,
/ hope they will not be the last,
OF those happy days passed SO well,
When all went merry as a marriage bell.
And that brave band of volunteers,
That left their homes and friends in tears,
TO shed their blood in freedoms cause,
To preserve the Union and the laws.
We are as faithful and as true,
As first when our sabres drew,
And we hate as bad the rebel fee,
As we did some eighteen months ago.
And we feel as much the cause is right,
As when we started for. TO fight,
The cursed traitorous rebel foe,
That would our Government overthrow.
1t grieves us soldiers that are gone,
To hear of traitors left at home,
Who sympa' hize with the outlaws,
And advocate the Southern cause.
sFuf. zrss lsss Tn tina -saarh--z
Well tar and feather, shoot and whail,
And ride the devils on a rail.
/ send you all my kindest love,
And i'll die may We meet above;
For we are told that friendships past
Will be renewed in heaven at last.
And now, my friends, kind adieu;
] hope to hear from all of YOU

Letter from Cumberland River.

On BOARD GOVERNMENT TRANSPORT " MAYDUKE,
CUMBERLAND RIVER, April 10, 1858.
To the Editors ofths EuanssiIie Journal:
I wrote you yesterday from Clarks-
vile, informing you of the burning of
the "Saxonia and "Lovel," and also of
the expedition which was sent in pursuit
of the rebels who did it. The expedition,
which was under command of Col Boone,
of the 2Sth Kentucky, returned last night
about dark, bringing with them four pris-
oners, whopthey captured on the wrecks
of the two boats. They chased the saw
ages who burned them several miles, and
destroyed their camp, some distance
back from the river ] think they did
not kill any of them. The Internal de-
mons, l understand, fred into the boats
without even demanding or giving them
an opportunity to surrender. Two frail
little boats that could scarcely stem the
current and that were engaged in
peaceable business! That S specimens
of the Chivalry for you. That s of
piece with that which manifests itself
in putting distractions on the railroads
to throw the passenger cars off the track,
and of the kind that shows itself in going
to the houses of Union men whom they
are afraid to meet in open daylight, call
ing them from their beds at night, and
a.aza.aaaa1.uH- 1.--.s-.s.z--1ss1-=za
pie set us by the noble, high-minded,
honorable gentlemen of the South, who
feel themselves disgraced by a union
with the people of the North!
FIVE O'CLOCK p M-Well, here we are
again at Nashville, without the loss of
soul or the occurrence of an accident
do not, however, blame the gunboats
for it. as we came thirty-five miles
through dangerous part of the country
entirely unprotected by them. Two Of
them, the "Covington and "Argosie,"
came up to Clarksville yesterday even
ing, and this morning we started. under
their protection, accompanied by the
"Shenango" and "Stephen Decatur"
to the head of the Shoals. We passed
the still smoking wrecks of the unfortu-
nate little boats, but saw no one about
them, nor a single guerrilla anywhere on
the river | learn that the passenger
train on the Nashville and Murfreesboro
road was captured by party of rebels,
about ten miles out, this morning, and
all the passengers captured and robbed
1t is said there were some thirty or
thirty FIVE commissioned officers on
board, and large mail. The soldiers
of one brigade had just been paid off,
and were sending home to their needy
families their hard earnings by Adams
& Co.'S Express. The Express Agent
was of course cleaned out am in
formed that the Mail Agent had some
important dispatches from Gen. Rose
Grams, which he succeeded, in bringing
away l am told that he (the Mail
Agent and single passenger were all
that succeeded in making their escape.
If You have MT room for my letters in
your paper, you will have, probably, in
the fire.
