ever gets held of the editor Of the Nash
vile Union he will "handle him without
gloves" Well be hanged if we would,

stable shovel Chattanooga Rebel, b.. .
If the "irate Nashville refugee" ever
handles us, of course it will be without
gloves, as his hands have no gloves except
those of dirt and their own natural dog
skin. If the editor of the Rebel ever
forks us, it will be the first time he ever
fOrked over anything. But he writes like
fellow who has been bred up among
dung-forks and stable shOvels. The only
thing stable about him is his stink

cavalry brigade.

We had the pleasure of meeting yes
terday with Col. JoHSsoN, Of the First
East Tennessee Cavalry. He arrived
here the day before from MurGreesboro,
where we learn he obtained authority 10
raise a cavalry brigade. His regiment
at present is one Of the largest in the SER
vice, and has done good work. We hope
that Col. JOHNSON may be zealously as
sisted in the work Of raising his cavalry
brigade. Every loyal man should rem
der him all the help in his power. We
need more cavalry. If we had treble the
number which we have they could all be
constantly and most usefully employed.
With strong force Of cavalry distribu.
ted along at various points, the guerrilla
bands could be speedily cut of, and this
beautiful region freed from a set of ma
rauders who are fast making it as DESC
late as poor Mexico.
There is abundant material here for
cavalry brigade. The city is full OF
loyal refugees, who are coming in daily,
from all quarters. They are mostly men
who have been stripped Of every thing and
have no means of support Nearly all Of
them are good riders and good marks
men, and would soon render excellent
assistance 70 the . Union cause as soldiers
They are without employment, they can
not possibly get employment at present
they cannot return 10 their homes unit
the rebels are thoroughly whipped out
and the country needs their services il
the capacity We have mentioned. Fifteel
thousand of their East Tennessee, Ala
bama, North Carolina, and Kentucky
brethren are already in the field at Muir
freesboro, and hundreds here should fol.
low their example. The sooner they g
to york TO put down the rebellion, tn,
sooner they will be able 10 return to thOii
homes and families in peace. No mar
has right to be idle at time like this
Men who are idle now, do great wrong
to themselves, their families and coun.
try. Here is an opportunity for mos
honorable service, In the Army of tn,
Cumberland, under the lead Of a gallan
officer Let the refugees rally TO hi
standard.

day that "There is no Union sentiment
left in the South--he South has everything
to lose BY coming back 10 the Union;" all
three of these newspapers say that the
Nashville Union is injuring the Union
cause in Tennessee. Probably we are
injuting such Unionism as theirs. Our
thousands of readers hatter us by as

Unionism rapidly. And while we can

treason and masked treason. ..i

Arrival of East Tennessee Refugees
Fifteen refugees from East Tennessee,

Il. Suuker, j. A. Prebison, Jackson Lacy,
Henry Humphrey, Abram Sellers, Levi
Hicky, +. Hart David Humphrey, VIM.
Floyd, John Green, e. f. Sharp and j
b. Thompson, arrived in this city yester-
day, entirely destitute. They left home
in October last for Kentucky, to Join
the regiments commanded by Colonies
Carter and johnson, but were captured
and taken TO Richmond, where they were
thrown into the old tobacco house prison,
aplace which will be remembered by
some of our citizens The floor was
covered to the depth of one or two feet
with tobacco stems, which had been
tramped TO powder and which was the
only bed they had.
They were kept at hard labor, on one
third rations, all about a month ago,
when they were released aud sent to our
lines, for the reason that provisions wero
so scarce In Richmond that the rebels
could not afford TO subsist them.
They suffered great hardships while in
prison, and were nearly starved all the
time .I
The men were found In the streets yes
terday, by Major Ridenourj Of the trans.
portation department, who Immediately
took them in charge, They requested TO
see Pagson Brownlow, with whom many
Of them were acquainted, aud according
ly that gentleman called on them. Tie
assured Major Ridenour that the men
were all good and true, and that he could
rely on all they said.
They expressed a desire 10 be for
wardod to Nashville 10 join the East
Tennessee regiments, 10 aveDge the
wrongs they had suffered, vnd they
were accordingly forwarded by the
Major with plenty Of provisions, 70 the
place Of destinations.

When the troops Of Gen. BURNSIDE
were marching through the streets OF
Cincinnati, the other day, they passed the
hallwhefe the Democratic Convention was
in session. But not shout, or the wa
wing of hat, or a handkerchief, or even
a friendly smile, greeted the brave fell
lows who were going under the Stars and
Stripes TO meet the rebels. All was ST.
lence and sullenness in the conservative
Convention" The hearts Of its members
were with the rebels.
