Tennessee. They come on foot, on horse

from the intolerable outrages of the rebel
assassins.
''THE UNKINDEsT CUT OF ALL."-The
regiment of New York volunteers which
the honest and patriotic Fernando Wood
claimed to have created, has repudiated all
connection with neutrality-suspicious., and
CURLY denounces him as Copperhead.-
They say they are Democrats of the Butler
sort, and have no fellowship with traitors
like Wood. Poor Fernandy! Even the
"Dead Rabbits will trample on him next.
@- The New York papers of Monday
give enthusiastic accounts of the grand
Union demonstration there on last Satur-
day, The concourse was immense. Six
stands were occupied at the same time by
able and distinguished speakers. The res
olutions were earnest and emphatic. Their
reading was greeted by tremendous ap-
plause and they were unanimously adopted.
Taken altogether the meeting was proba-
bly, the most imposing one of any ever
held in the country.
Va The wife of the commander of the
Alabama, Capt. Semmes, has been residing
at Cincinnati duringthe pastwinter, and has
been very demonstrative in denunciations
of the Governments. It is said that she has
been ordered to get within the rebel lines as
speedily as practicable.

heard again that the French have taken
Mexico! The Traitors appear to be anx-
ious on the subject. We have no doubt
that they would be glad to find it true. But
the Frenchmen are not disposed to hide
their light ''under bushel." When they
capture Mexico, or even Puebla, they will
favor US with bulletin quite as flaming as
those Of the Ditcher, Mcclellan. See if they
don't. ef{r-- tf~

zoG@ A couple of Copperheads in Indiana
INDUCED themselves in hurrahing for jeff.

hurrah for Davis to their hearts content.
III NE Butternuts have have had a fall in
Cincinnati. The scoundrels who Haunted
this emblem of treason, dropped them like
shot potatoes" as soon as they read Burn

that the General was after them in earnest
We guess they we're more sensible in that
than in any opinion they ever had. s@1,
