Mn. EDIToR;--The following scene oc
Cured not thousand miles from where
l now write. A party Of rebel soldiers
were enjoying the hospitality Of Union
family one night last winter, where they
were often comfortably entertained, when
the rebel sympathizers Of that neigh
borhood refused them. Daring the con-
versation, after the poor fellows had been
RECALLED with plentiful supper, young
lady Of the house, who is bold uncom-
promising Union girl, asked them what
they were fighting for This question
put them somewhat to their studies, bat
after hesitating for a moment, one Of
them answered, 81 am fighting to keep
my sisters from being made equal with
negroes" and then retorted, "What is
your papa fighting for?p "He is not
fighting for that" quickly replied the
Union girl Gle has no need TO fight to
keep his children from being equal with
negroes they always were superior TO
negroes, and he knows they never can be
reduced to equality with them. The
thing can't be did" 1t ia unnecessary
to add, they were silenced, the ridicu.
lousness Of the "negro equality" false
hood appearing some what in It's true light
to;them for the FIRST time. And yet, this
is the arrogant and false assumption, by
which thousands Of the best men of
Tennessee were driven into the rebel
army. They were told, and they strange
ly pOeketed the bitter insult which il inn
piled, and believed il, that they must do
this, or submit TO the degradation OF a
social and political equality with negroes.
What! = freeborn white mantle de-
scendanis Of those gallant men who
followed the standard Of the immortal
Jackson, at Talledega, Horseshoe,
Emucbfau, and upon the plains Of Ne "
Orleans, told that he could be degraded
to be the social equal Of the negro, and
the cowardly miscreAnt that uttered the
foul fAlsehood go with an unbroken head.
Freemen Of Tennessee have you not
long enough submitted TO this humiliat-
ing insult? Remember too that these
arrogant upstairs, tell you, ia the next
breath that you have no right to discuss
the subject Of negrO-slavery, if you
hApen not to be the owner Of negro.
Will your manhood longer submit to be
thus insulted and degraded? Will you
not make one maniul effort to throw of
the yoke Of bondage, aud at the same
time ayenge yourselves for the insults to
which you have too long submitted?
Assert your manhood tell the base and
oowardly leaders, who have so long
gulled you, that you are freemen; that
you are white men, that you cannot be
degraded to an equality with a servile
race, and that you will no longer be in
suited by being told that you can!
Think for yourselves, speak out your
sroe thoughts, and act for yourselves,
Tho day, tho hour is propitious, aud
your deliveraoce awaits your acceptance.

Colonel Moody, "the Fighting Preach

teers, and led it 50 bravely and CALAMITY
at Stones River, has been compelled to
resign his command on account Of pro-
tracted ill-health. He was one of the
most popular Methodist ministers in
Ohio at the time of the breaking out of
the rebellion, and when patriotism
prompted him to take the field, he won,
we are told, the universal esteem and
love of the boys of the 74th. We are
glad to learn that he is very strongly
recommended 20 the President for the
Office of Post Chaplain in the Regular
Army, a permanent position attached TO
the United States service. The recon-
mendalion is urged by Generals Rose
Grams, Thomas, Negley, Garfield, and
many others of his illastrious "assOci-
ates in arms" who still desire to retain
his valuable services in connection with
the army, until the last gun of the war
shall have been fired. Believing Colonel
MOody's qualifications pre-eminent for
the position spoken Of, We sincerely
