NASHVILLE, April q, 1868.
My DEAR FRIENDS - have only time
to say show do you do2" tonight. Since
writing you last, we have been very busy
receiving and distributing invaluable
stores to the Army of the Cumberland,
many of the men in the regiments not
having receiveda single ration of yegeta-
bles in the last six or nine months. Mr..
Robinson last week gave potatoes to n
Michigan regiment who said their well
men had not tasted any since last Decem-
Der, and they had been in Kentucky where
they Jared much better than they do in
front.
Potatoes, onions, dried-apples, and many
good things in which the North abounds,
have been coming freely the past week.
We are glad to see them, and only wish
they would increase tsn-fOld, and TINS
continue till the end Of the war.
Hope to see butter more plenty soon.
They ask IS cents per pound here, and the
supply is very limited even at that.
Rumor says a large force of rebel ca7al-
~ are within an hours ride Of town. All
1 have to say is, 1 hope they will be COB
bled up" If they should succeed in max
ing n Dish in here their first effort would
be 10 blow up the ordnance building,
which is adjoining the store, and is filled
with ammunition. In such IN event the
potatoes, onions, pickles, ETC., would be
thoroughly distributed without our help.
Yours Respectfully,
P.B HOPKINS.
We also print this week an interesting
letter from Hospital No. Z, Louisville, one
of the st hospitals Of that city. The
earnest call for books has been promptly
answered by a donation Of two large boxes
filed with choice reading matter-Over 500
bound volumes, and many late and inter-
esting pamphlets and papers. We are es-
peciaIly indebted to the Ladies' Relief

The War Department Officials,
FROM NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Jan. IA.
A special dispatch says:
Letters from Illinois state that the reb-
els are liberal in their offers to the Westof
free navigation, free trade, and freedom
from taxation, if she will join the South.
The West as yet replies to this by sending
10000 Of her choicest sons to open naVlga-
ton of the Mississippi River By force OF
arms.
Members Of Congress west Of the Wa
bash declared yesterday and to-day that
a shin canal between the Great Lakes and
the Mississippi is a political as well as a
military necessity. They insist upon 1t
that there is a deep-laid, widespread
scheme to detach the Northwest from the
Union. and that it may succeed unless pro-
vision is made for getting the grain Of the
Valley to the Sea-bosrd at rates Of trans
portation that shall not eat up its value.
The Herald has the following, dated
Headquarters of the Army Of the Potomac,
January 11th:
Yesterday, Captain Chester, Sergeant
Grant and Private Harris, Of the 18th New
York Engineer Regiment, were captured
by the enemy about ten miles above Fall
moulin on the ma pduhAAOOAs
Major Cutting went over the river, yes
terday, with flag of truce. The object Of
his mission has not been diVulged.
Communications are almost daily inter-
changed between the two armies, andfags
of truce cease to attract attention. Pro-
fessor Lowe'a balloons are keptin constant
readiness for ascensions, and very fine
views of the enemy's position have been
secured during the past week.
The river is swollen considerably by the
recent storm The roads are horrible
Tonight it is stormy again.
All quiet along the lines.
The Times Washington dispatch says the
facts in regard to the recent changes in the
War Department seem to be these: Stan
ton, soon after his appointment, asked for
two additional assistants to serve for one
year. within which time he expected to
end the rebellion. Names Of Watson and
Tucker were sent in and they were ap-
pointed. Their term Of Office expires about
the 2Oth. 1t is understood that Watson is
not a candidate for re-appointment, and
there is strong reason to believe that Chas
A. Dana, late of the Tribune, will be nom
mated to the position.
Accompanying General Hunter, who
goes out to South Carolina at once, is Col
Montgomery Of Kansas renown, having &
commission to raise brigade Of soldiers
! in that state.

ADVENTURES OF A DRAFTED SHAKER.1
when the draft occurred in this county, in
October last, Shaker in Warrensville, nam
ed G. W. Ingalls,, was among those drafted.
Soon after receiving the notice he disappear
ed from the Society, and it was supposed
that he had run away from the draft. He
was a leading man among the Shaker. A
few days ago he returned home, bringing a
paper from President Lincoln, declaring him
exempt from the draft on account of cOnsei-
sntiOus serupIes against fighting. 1t appears
that after leaving here so mysteriously he
went to New Lebanon, Shaker settlement
In Eastern New York, and got an influential
brother Shaker to accompany him to Wash
ington. After spending good deal Of time
there in fruitless efforts to see the President,
he was at length fortunate enough to obtain
an interview, with the above result. The op-
Grafton which occupied the affrighted Shaker
for weeks, costing him the price of good
deal Of Shaker whisky and many Shaker
stockings and brOoms, might have been at
tended to in ten minutes by Commission
