SATURDAY MORNING. APRIL IL, 1868
The Nashville Union Among the
Soldiers.


Soldiers.
TIE following letters explain them
selves. If our Kansas friend will refer 10
the resolutions adopted by 1900 Ten
nessee soldiers At Murfreesboro' a few
days ago, he will find the following rsso-
lutions:
Resolved, That wo heartily CO. operate
and sustain President Lincoln in
his emancipation proclamation, and ap-
prove of the acts of Congress in the en-
ploy ment of slaves and persons of Afri-
can descent in the Government service TO
aid in suppressing the rebellion.
Resolved, That we look upon and abhor
all resolutions introduced into the LeQisla-
tureS Of Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois,
aud other States, proposing the calling of
conventions TO devise the mode and man
ner by which the war may be ended by
compromise, etc.
This shows very plainly the feelings
Of the Tennessee loyal soldiers, and what
they think of the language of the Louis
vile Journal.
The next letter was accompanied
by tt0enty-nine subscriptions from one
company, all to go to the Northwest
Most deeply do we feel his Substantial
compliment" To the best ofour ability
we will do our duty.
NASHVILLE, April 8, 1853.
Editor Union Those who have read
the Louisville Journal Of the 7th inst,
will have noticed correspondence dated
Nashville, April Sd, signed by a sharp
"Hawthorne," and also the malicious and
villifyiDg misinterpretation the Journal
gives Of General Milroy's letter ia rela-
tion TO the action Of the democratic
members Of the late Legislature of Indi-
ana.
When the correspondent says that the
Journal is generally liked by the soldiers
and taken in preference to all 'other pa
pers from the North, and the Nashville
UNIoN derives it's "immeDse circulation"
Only from the few news items it con-
tains, be says and sees something, which

kept out of his blinded eyes, he would
not discover. noticed this remark
moro particularly as he seemed to speak
somewhat in reference to the 9th Kansas,
previously stating that this regiment is
on Provost duty in the city. Belonging
TO that regiment myself, | venture TO say
that the many numbers Of the Nashville
UNIoS purchased every morning in our
camp, are taken because Of is unoompro-
missing spirit and general devotion to G0
Union cause IN Tsnnsssse. Since the week

home, it being generally aud justly
looked upon as as an excellent paper.
am not prepared to refute the assertion
respecting the Tennessee sOldiery, no;
being familiar with its sentiments, how
ever, il would be astonishing if intelli

obviously misconstrues the PATRIOTS

-GEy. r. II. MnRoY. Not the abolition
lists alone are delighted with the letter
but also all truly loyal men, and if an
approval or admiration of it makes q
man a blaekheArted abolition fanatic or
lunatic-I am gladly willing to carry the
cross.
Where the Journal sees nothing but
threats of dictatorisl anarchy, the writer
certainly never dreamed Of such fear.
