We had = conversation yesterday with
IN intelligent gentleman, who has re.
Gently been a prisoner within Bragg's
lines, at Polaski. He saw a good many
of the "Rock City Guards" at that place,
who were mostly employed as scouts and
spies in this section. The rebels are
well posted about all Nashville affairs /;
they know who have taken the oath and
turned Yankees; who are in business ;
who are still rebellious; snd what troops
arrive and depart. They evidently have,
or had a spy in the Union Club, and
probably in the League also, who posts
them up in regard to the membership,
business, etc, of these bodies. The club
was at first violently denounced for a
good while as being made up of renegade
Tennesseans, who had proved false 20 the
South, This soon had its influence on a
good many rebels, who began TO manifest
tendencies in the same direction, and the
leaders then changed their tactics, ridi-
culing the club as being made up of Jews,
Northern men and "hOp-eared Dutch"
The hatred of the Tennesseans against
the Mississippians was so bitter at Pu-
laski, that when Gen. Van Dorm was
killed, people said on the streets
of Pulaski, that they wanted his whole
command served in tho same way. The
people are deplorably destitute of pro-
Visions. Government wagons go about
peddling off a few pounds of salt and
sugar for = few pounds of bacon. Most
Of their provisions are stored at At.
lants. The withdrawal of Bragg fell
with = crushing effect upon the rebels
When he left pullahoma he had but 49,
600 infantry. This fact is we'll ascer-
tanned. The rebel cavalry is being
greatly weakened; when Forrest left
ShelbyVille be had but 1900 soldiers
all told. Our informant states that be-
fore the rebel troops fell back, changes
were taking place among the people in
favor of the Union. They are fast los
ing all confidence ia tho ability of the
South, and concede that Tennessee il
lost.
We ardently wish that under all these
circumstances, the Government would
without further delay, take measures t.
bring the whole State Of Tennessee I'M
der Federal authority. Why leave the
most loyal portion of the country still
to lsnguish under rebel rule, stripped
and despoiled Of all, save it's glorious
and unfaltering patriotism?

IL Ii 10 thig character, and by this u
thority emily, that intasion and domestic u.
olsncc can be repealed. The Invaders, tho
men guilty Of this violence, arc TO be ex
PEELED from every Granny Of the State.
The civil authority must be organized
In every department, great and small, so
that the people of Tennessee shall enjoy
what they had always enjoyed till the
9th of May, 1861.
The traitors who assumed to sell The
thews and sinews Of the people Of Ten
Dessee TO the President of the Confeder-
ate States, must be driven from the
try, or must be made TO suffer the penal
ties of treason.
Every man, % officer, who acts in the
interest Of tho usurped government
whether his office be municipal or State,
must be declared illegally exercising his
office, and be elected from IL. Till the
regular elections for all offices come
round, those offices must be filed under
the authority of the United States and
the United States will continue TO guar
anty TO the people a legal and constitu-
tional protection from invasion and
domestic violence until those disposed to
invade the State and to commit violence,
are brought to punishment or driven q
way. You have a right TO compel the
aldermen and councilmen of Nashville 10
take an oath TO support the Constitution
Of the United States. But if they take
il you must LET them alone 10 their offices;
whereas think they ought 10 be elected
at once. In short my opinion is you will
have to resort to the salutory authority
Of military restraint.

We have received several long and
earnest complaints about the neglect Of
the news dealer at Winchester in not sup
plying the troops at that point with any
thing like the number of copies Of the
UNION, which they demand. Some days
they get none, and on other days his sup
ply of UNIONS is quickly exhausted, and
then the soldiers are forced to buy such
other newspapers as be sees ut to bring
them or do without. This is an ~insufFer-
able wrong both to the soldiers and cur
selves. One correspondent whites; IL
want to know what is the matter with
the Nashville Union p Why don't you
send more copies of it down here? AL

sir. If you do not want us 10 read the
Union, all you have TO do is to say so
if it is not your fault we wish to know
as speedily as possible who is to blame
The " Union is an old friend and &C
quaintance and we are not willing to
give it up thus easily"
Now, will the Winchester newsman dc

kindness to let them choose their owl

APRIL 3, l962.--The foregoing is the
substance of my letter 10 you of the 10Th
of March, which you inform me, by tele-
graph, has somewhow disappeared. l
beg to add, that Tennessee since the 9th
of May 1861, has not eujoyed a "repub-
loan form Of government" On that
day, the conspirators, Isham @. Harris,
Henry w. billiard, Gustavus A. Henry.

subjected "the whole military force
of the State to the control aud di CO.
ton of the Confederate States. In this
gross transaction, the people of Tennes-
see have acquiesced. The men who had
been chosen at the election Of August
1869 to constitute the Legislature of the
State, subject 10 the supreme authority
Of the Constitution Of the United States.
assumed to pass, according to the forms
Of legislation, the act of May 9th, 1861,
entitled Gan act TO submit TO a vote
Of the people a declaration Of indie
pendence, and for other purposes" The
people of Tennessee acquiesced in
this usurpation, and by an apparent
majority adopted this declaration of in
dependence. The men, who passed this
act to submit said declaration TO the
people, had no legal authority to pass
IL. The act was aud is an absolute null
lily, and the vote under it is void. But
nevertheless, the people acquiesced /;
they will not exercise their lawful pow-
ers, yet permit them to be usurped by a
handful Of their fellows itiEens. sun
pose no one can say that q government

il follows that the United States are
bound to perform the duly assign
ed 10 them by their Constitution

Goy. aikens % ~. O., In the Libby
rrtsons
Tho following note from Parson
Browlow, gives some new proof Of a
matter mentioned 10 the Union a few
weeks ago. Gov. Aiken owns 1900
slaves, but says be would zee slavery
perish q thousand time rather than give
up the Union. We most heartily APP
prove Parson Brownlow's suggestion:
LFor tho Nashville Union,
GOV. AIKEN, OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
l have this day conversed with De.
Everett Surgeon Of the 9th East Ten
nessco Infantry, who was recently con-
lned in the infamous Libby Prison, at
Richmond. He tells me that be was
confined in the same room with ex.Gov-
ernor Akin, Of South Carolina, and held
frequent conversations with him. So
many ounces of bread and meat were
dealt out to each prisoner per day, and
the venerable old gray-haircd patriot re-
ceived his daily allowance, while the
boys in prison volunteered TO do his
cooking for him. The offences for which
be was imprisoned, were, refusing 10
take the oath of allegiance TO the Con-
federacy, and to contribute means to sus-
tain the rebellion. In converting about
his confinement be would frequently
shed tears.
This venerable old patriot, who has
served his State as Governor, as a Con-
gresham, and as a member Of her Leg
isiature, is the largest stakeholder in the
OOufederacy, and about the wealthiest
man in South Carolina; but he is a I'M
ion man, and stubbornly refuses to be
anything else. For this he is incarcera-
ted in a prison! His cruel confinement
has been kept q secret from the outside
world, aud il has been kept u Of South
ern papers, because his viliainous perse-
cutors were ashamed to let bis imprison-
ment be known!
There is no organization in South Car
olins, or anywhere in tho seeded States,
that can afford Gov. Aiken relief. and ]
insist that our Government ought with.
out a weeks delay, arrest yfve prominent
rebel citizens, and cOniino them ia irons
until this "old nan eloquent" is set al
liberty. Ii MIR. Lincoln and Seward dc
not attend 10 it, | propose to Gen. Rose
crans and Gov. Johnson, that they al
once seize upon five prominent Tennessee
rebels, and conino them in u State
Prison, until the old South Carolina pa
triot is released. 1t is due TO justice
and above ali, TO the loyal sentiment o
the South.

The Way Of Transgressors IS Hard.

[ want to tell you a true story. | went to
the jail the other day to visit ayung man
only twenty-four years Of age, 1T he had
been sentenced to prison twice. Before the
last sentence had expired he mae his es-
cape, by saving off al iron bar but in a
few months he was caught, and lodged in
the Jail where | saw him.
He was very pale, and he willsSon die, as
he is in a consumption. | asked 1im of his
early life, and what did he telIne2 That
his father died when he was onlylghr years
old, and he soon began to be disbedient to
his mother, and to care for nothig she said
to him. He. kept company witt bad ssboys,
and, soon commenced stealing-htle articles
at first, such as apples, peaches &c. and
as he grew older, be broke into houses and
stores with others at midnight, and became
a thief and robber.
Seeing a Bible resting between the iron
bars of his windows, I said to him: You
have found Gods holy word to. b true, that
the way of transgressors is hard"
Yes, sir" he replied, Il haP just been
reading it in the Bible" 1 aske if be had
been to meeting often during the past eight
or ten years. No sir,' said he; II Was
AFRAID Of God !" | inquired if bis bad asso-
ciates endeavored to put God OFT of their
minds. Yes SIR" he replied, 'Slnd | have
tried to do it too, but it Mould come back
again to my mind"
He seemed quite penitent, andss we knelt
in that stone cell, and [ raised by voice in
prayer for him, he was so much affected that
he Wept like a child. His earnest wish was
to return once more to his mothef, and to die
in his childhood's home. His lie was fast
ebbing away, and he needed frields to take
care of him.. But this wish was denied him.
An officer was sent for him, and irons were
put round his thin wrists, and, sick and dy-
ing as he was, he was hurried back to his
former cell in the State prison, nearly three
hundred miles off. And there in that gloomy
cell away from all his friends, with no kind
mother to tend him, he will die.
Boys always mind your mothers! Al
ways read the Bible, and remember whatyot
read.
