No nation, since the word began, has fought as

quer Ohio; would she spend as much time and blood
sud treasure TO conquer Ohio, as to defend herself
Would every many in Ohio come forth to subjugate

We Of the cisy Of Nashville are absolutely cursed
with the presence Of negro population which we find

they respect nobody; they regard no law, human or
divine Some Of them are engaged in hospitals, but
they so numerous that this is perhaps only fac-
tOnal part They promenade Streets they crowd our
Sidewalks; they thread our allies they I'll houses
cellars and garrets They too lazy to work. too g-
rOrant TO distinguish between liberty and license; too
shameless TO respect common decency and too degra-
ded to observe the ordinary rules Of morality. The

some time past certain parties in this city
have been in receipt Of counterfeit Confede-
rate money, manufactured in New York:
which they claim to have obtained from pri-

they have passed upon unsuspecting and ig

The manufacture Of this money is the first

informed upon this matter, and have taken
steps to ferret out the parties engaged in this
