ALABAMA LOYALTY.

Judge Lane, of Alabama, said in speech
at the Opera House Union meeting:
81 am sorry to hear of there being q
party in the West and North who are op-
posed to every measure of putting down
the rebellion. There seems to be traitors
in the North and butternuts in the West
who cry peace! peace! when there is no
peace. In answer to such, l say: give me
coercion, sutjugation, Lincoln and emanci.
pation-every measure, in fact, which will
bring destruction upon traitors and restore
our Union.
I do believd, upon mature reflection, tha,
We never would have peace in this country
with separate and distinct nationalities in it.
Upon this ground, then, if upon no other,
would l advocate a vigorous prosecution Of
the war so long as the waters flow through
the Ohio to their home in the Atlantic, and
so long as the green grass springs forth to
beautify its banks. l would to God that
peace we're restored in our land but
would want it restored with the condition
that every traitor and every secessionist in
the South, and every copperhsad in the
North and West, should come forward and
acknowledge allegiance and fidelity to ou,
Government" Applause.

The steamer j. K. Bell arrived here this

Preutiss. They appear to be healthy able
bodied plantation hands, male and female.
The Peterburg Express contains Charles
ton .dvices to Feb. 26. The latest adviees
from Port Royal state that the Yankee feet
now there numbers 1913 vessels, including
three frig.tes and twenty guuboats. The
balance are chiefly transports. There are
30. 600 men collected there and more ex.
pected.
Com. Porter has declared that any per-
son guilty Of firing on unarmed vessels shall
be hanged, also persons burning cotton or
levying contributions.
The Polish question is the leading topic
in Europe. France sent dispatch to Ber-
lin expressing great dissatisfaction at the
intervention Of Prussia in the affairs of
Poland. In the British House, Lord Rus

Deceased Soldiers.

Having spent few days in the Second
Auditors Office at Washington, haYe
thought it might be of some benefit to the
representatives of deceased soldiers and
those who are attempting to obtsin their
back pay and bounty" to publicly state
that, to procure prompt action in that
Office and prevent the great delays arising
from Kansas claims, the applicant should
definitely state the letter of the company,
number Of regiment, name Of Captain and
Colonel on ,chich and under rhons hey first
enlisted, the letters numbers and names OF
every Captain and Colonel to chich and
under 'chom they haze serued, and on schich
their names appear sabsequent to enlistnsent
and to ,chich they haze at different times
been transterred. This course, and this
alone, will enable the examining clerks to
trace out the identity of the soldier.
All this confusion in the clerks Office at
Washington, in the Kansas claims, vss
caused BY the consolidation and transfers OF
companies and regiments in the winter ol
1862.
Many of the mastering out rolls "
have not yet reached the proper Office at
Washington, on which 90 many soldiers
we're mustered at Fort Scott and other
places.-C0r. Leau. Bulletin.

Recruiting in Tennessee.

Gen. Rosecrans is doing " heavy bust.
ness" in the way of recruiting his army
from the refugees who are fleeing from the
rebel press gangs. The mountains and
woods around Murfreesboro are full of these
exiles from their homes. Not many days
ago an army scout" (spy) brought in
twenty in one squad, eight of whom be had
persuaded to desert from the service with
arms in their hands. Many of them at
once Joined the Tennessee and other Fed.
eral regiments, and Gen. Rosecrans has
commenced to raise brigade of them for
special State service, to join which they are
quite ready. He has determined to receive
all csnscripts and refugees as citizens, and
not as rebel soldier deserters, and will not
send them to Vicksburg for exchange.
This course, it is thought, will tend greatly
to demoralize the rebel army. The tyranny
and oppression of the rebelites over the
masses Of the people In the South is almost

A Defeat at Frsnkliu.

Nashville, 6th.-Further details Of the
fight at Franklin yesterday have been re-
ceived. Five regiments of infantry, one
battery, 18th Ohio, with 9th Pennsylvania
and End Michigan cavalry, al under COM
mand of Col. Coburn, of the 33d Indiana,
advanced on Spring Hill on the 4th. Sew
eral spirited sk;rmishes took place during
the day. our troops camping four miles
distant.
On the 9Th a movement was apparent,
and during some disorder on our left, the
rebels suddenly opened fire on our men,
with three batteries, from different points.
At the same time the enemy opened on each
flank in greatly superior numbers.
The unequal contest was maintained with
great determination, with heavy loss on
both sides, and resulted unfortunately for
our side. A large part Of the 22nd Wis,
S5th and SD Ind, aud 10th Mich, with
most Of their commissioned officers, being
captured. Our artillery and cavalry we're
successfully Withdrawn.
The rebels have fallen back. Their force
was infantry. Heavier artillery than ours.
Van Dorn's force is estimated at Is, 900.
Gen. Gilbert's inaction is very much
censured BY officers and men, in failing to
reinforce Col. Colburn. he had seven reg.
iments at franklin.
