AN ErrrAPH.-The following affecting
epitaph was copied from the headboard of
rebel soldiers grave in the Wesleyan

the dogs ran about through the forests and

live cries.
Ifa dog bowle6 in neighborhood where
any one lay sick, Il was considered the
prognosiic Of death. This superstition was
grounded on the belief that these animals
scent death before il srnites person, and
that wraiths are visible to them.
The owl occupied a place of honor and
importance in the religions Of Greece and
Rome. Every movement and note Of this
hideous and dismal creature were invested
with significance. The screeeh Of the owl
was regarded a fatal presage.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
NASHVILLE UNION.
OF THE

The NASHVILLE ONION was commenced last sprIng
for the purpose Of opposing the Rebel Southern Con
federacy and of advocating the restoration of Federal
authority, without any abatement all the States
which have attempted to secede. It's object was to
proclaim the doctrines Of Liberty aud Cnion as they
once expounded by the fathers Of the Republic
but which for more than one year--the long and
dreary carnival OF treasoh--had been uuspoken and
unwritten In the Capital Of the State Of ANDREW
JAoKsoN, and were treasured up only in the hearts Of
the faithful. We believed that the right way TO
duct loyal Journal in city like Nashville, at such
time as this, was to raise ths wayerlng d tmid
UP to the true standard Of patriotism and not to
lower the standard Of patriotism after the manner Of
some other Journals to suit the depravod Of the
sem-oya and sympathize with the Richmond dy-
nasty.
The UEroS, therefore, has held as friends all who
support, and foes all who oppose the Union OF the
States Its watchword is FREEDOM AND NATIONALITY.
With rebels and traitors it has no compromise TO
make. It contends for the Federal Constitution and
the Laws made in pursuance thereof the SUPREME
LAW or THE LAND, anything ia tho Constitution and
laws Of any of the States to the contrary notwith-
standing
1t contends for the Union Of the States, because
without It the preservation Of our liberties and insti
tutions and the organization of society itself
wholly impossible. Therefore, whatever stands in
the way of crushing out the rebellion and restoring
the Union must perish no matter by what name it
be called.
Whom thousands Of our citizen soldiers lay down
their lives upon the altar of their country, sacri
fec above all earthly price, and precious in the sight
Of Heaven, God forbid that any ignoble motive Of
sefnterest should make any man wavcr in his 10y
atty If there be any such, let them look at the
blood of Shiloh Fort Donelson, Murfreesboro and
Fredericksburg, and blush at their wokednoss and
folly. Love for country should now overshadow
every other feelinS and he Is patriot who loves
his houses lands negroes with tithe Of the dovo
tion which he feels for his country. Even prudent
sefshness should compel men 10 be patriots, for who
can hope to his treasures from the wreck eff
a ruined and dismembcred Unon1
We want to sec the land more blessed with the
enduring sunshine Of honorable peace, based upon
rebels in arms, and not lit up with the deceitnl
glow Of peace based upon emascuate loyalty, and
concessions to traitors--tho glow Of meteor which
would shine only to betroy, and going out would
leave us in darkness tcnfud more gloomy than that
which prevailed before.
These are the sentiments and views which the
UNION will continue to advocate through whatever
of storm sunshine may await it in the future, and
ask the support OF all who behave it to be import
ant that thoroughly and vigorously loyal newspaper
should be published in Nashville,

REDEMPTION OF MUrHATED CURRENCY.
AS there seems TO be some misappre-
hsnsion in the public mind relative to the
rules by which the Treasury Department
is governed in the redemption of mutila-
ten treasury notes and postage currency,
we re-publish the following;
l. Fragments Of note will not be
e-deemed unless it shall be clearly
evident that they constitute one-half or
more of one original note in which case
notes, however mutilated, will be re-
deemed in propotion TO the whole note,
reckoning by iilths.
2 MutilatiOns less than one tenth will
be disrCgarded, unless fraudulent; but
any mutilation which destroys more than
one.tenth the original note will reduce
the redemption value Of the note by one
fifth its face value.
3. Mulilaled notes presented for re-
demption must be in sums not less than
three dollars OF the original full face
value.

+''.'i' "a fA'ifihNtHh'hos hiAll A9s J
Editor Of the Nashville Union:
Closed up in our dog tents, 6 by g, lis
tening TO the April rain, clouds and gloom
without, and nothing to do, does not
make one very reflective, and, e,go what
shall we write? 1t would be contraband
to say an attack was expected, and a
great battle was imminent; it would be
equally wrong TO say nothing of the kind
was apprehended, besides ice don't kno,o.
We must therefore content ourselves with
saying that, so far, everything is quiet;
nothing has occurred of late to disturb
the dull, quiet monotony of every day
camp-life. The beautiful spring weather
of the last few days has been improved
in drilling and disciplining the army.
The whole camp is one vast hive of in
dustry; every day, almost at any time,
can be seen squads of men, regiments
and battalions, drilling in every direc-
tion. The whole army is in the very
best of spirits. A better disciplined,
better equipped army--a finer lot of
men in everything that tends to make up
the true soldier, we do not believe was
ever organized. 1t has implicit conf
dence in its leader as well as its own
courage and discipline. If the baIcful
influence of Copperhesd journals and
letters from the North was ever felt in
this army, it is not now. The soldiers
love the old flag as dearly and are as
determined to crush the rebellion, as they
were the day they left their homes and
friends, and buckled on the armor of
the soldier. We are soon, too, expecting
to have our decimated regiments filled
up with the now levies, and then with
such an army, the broad, rich lands Of
Tennessee, that we do not already hold,
and that have fed the rebellion, must be
given up, and her loyal sons who have
suffered so much, who have seen their
homes desolated, and themselves driven
in exile from the land of their birth, may
again sit under their own 'vine and fig
tree May it soon come and God speed
the day.
The Light Battalion of the Second
Brigade has just been organized, under
command Of Major GALLOWAY, of the 21st
Illinois Regiment. The Major has ever
had the esteem and confidence of his
men, gentleman and true soldier, and
Fighter" is no name for him. He has
been with tho "old Twenty first" ever
since its organization, nearly two years
since, and has always been in the thick
est and hottest Of the fight, and all may
rest assured he will do his duty on the
field of battle. OF the battalion ITSELF
of course we cannot now speak, though
we hope we may soon. 1t has never
been tried as a body, but the object of
its organization, the manner in which it
has been selected, tell what the army
and country expect of it, and we think
we never will see the day their expecta-
tions will fail TO be realized.

rouhueu' nad no sort OF influence over
my way OF thinking, and have the mis-.
fortune OF witnessing, day by dav. mani.
iestailons OF enthusiasm In which | have
not the slightest participation. You ~,
DE sure, then, of my ready and boarty
concurrence in your able and lncid a.,
gument against the right of sccessior
Tor the Union would be but precarion,
possession, II 1t stood upon the mutablo
grouhu OF the popular ground of exncdi-
ency from day to day. In fact. If il b,d

never would have been adop,ed at an.

For the Confederacy would have az
s"ered all IT'S purposes if it could have

=. ihere is no doubt that the men of 1887
dld undertake new thing in attcmn,ing
70 divide the civil power between tho
NATION and the State, so as to leave them
sovereign in their several spheres. But
our secessionists pretend that they did
not mean it. You have SHOWN to demon

hope there is sufficient good sense in
the Maryland people to discern the right
and to follow il, and might well envv
you for having such an audience TO ap.

what is to be the end of this seems to
me to be inscrutable. But even if tho
