PROSPECTUS
OF THE
NASHVILLE UNION.
OF THE

Ths NASHVILLE BSIoS eommenced last spring,
for the purpose Of opposing the Rebel Southern Con
fsdsracy and OF advocating the restoration Of Federal
authority without any abatement all the States
which have attempted 10 sscede. It's bjeOt wss to
proclaim the doctrines Of Liberty and Union, they
once oxpounded by the fathers Of the Rspublic
but which Tor more than one yoar--the long and
drsary carnival OF trsason--had been unspokop and
unwrittsn in the Capital Of ths State Of ANDREW
JACKSON and treasured up only in the hearts Of
the faithful. We believed that the right way to con
duct loyal Journal In city like Nashville, at such
q time as this was TO raise the waverng aTd timid
up to the true standard Of patriotism, and not 10
lower the standard Of patriotism aer the manner Of
other Journals to suit the dSpravOd tastes Of the
ssmi.loyal and sympathizers With the Richmond dy-
nasty.
The UNION, therefore, has held friends all who
support and foes all who oppose the Union Of the
States. Its watohword Is FREEDoN AND NAuoSALIrY.
with rebels and traitors It has no compromise to
make. Il contends for ths Federal Constitution and
the Laws made in pursuance thereof as tho SUPREME
Law or THn LAND, anything In tho Constitution and
laws OF amy Of the States to tho contrary aotwiih-
standing.
II contends for Me Union Of the States, because
without It the pressrvstion Of our liberties and insti
tutions aAd ths Organization OF society itself are
wholly impossible Therefore, whAtsveT stands in
tho way OF crushing eat the rebellion aAd restoring
the Union nut perish, matter by what name 1t
10 called.
When Thousands Of eur citizen soldiers lay down
their lives upoa tho altar Of their country, saori
Zee above all earthly price, sad precious in the sight
or Heaven, Cod forbid that auJ ignoblo mstive Of
self interest should make any maR waver in hia 10y
atty II there -be any suoh, lot them look at the
blood of shiloh, Fort DonolBOn, Murffeesbors and
Frederieksburg, aAd biash at their wiokedncss and
folly. Love for our country should now overshadow
every other feeling and he Is patriot whs loves
his houses lands negroes with tthe of the dove
ton which he feels for his country. Rven prudent
sslnshnoss should compel 70 bo patriots, for who
can hope to save bis frSm The wreck Of
ruined and dlsmembsTed Union
We want to see the land more blessed with the
enduring sunshiAe OF honorable peace, based upon
the complete and unconditional submission Of the
rebels now in arms aud not lit up with the deooitful
glow OF peace based upoR emssoulato loyalty, and
concessions to traltors--the glow of a meteor which
would shine only to botray, and going out would
leave Us in darkness tonfod more gloomy than that
which prevailed before.
These are the sentiments and views which the
UEoE will continue TO advocate through whatever
Of storm or sunshine may await IL in the future, and
we ask the support OF all who believe II to be Import
ant that thoroughly and vigorously loyal newspaper
should be published in Nashville.

the Government do away with their a,ri.

stead OF sending men 10 the Geld 10 raise

they shoot them when they catch them.5

on the Spanish garote, which 6hokes

We request every reader 10 examine
carefully the arlille from the New York
Herald on the comparative military pow
err of the loyal States, and the .overwhelm-
ing effect which the Federal conscription
law must have. Friends of the Union
take courage, and lift high your stand
ard On with your steel-clad columns
Drive your infamous foe, and the foes of
your happiness and freedom, before you,
till you drown them in the ocean!
The Conscription Law-The Military
Power of the Loyal States.
The bill for enrolling and calling out
the militia forces of the United States
has become law of the land, For the
information of our readers, we this NOR
ming republsh it in full. The substance
Of the bill, however, is comprehended in
its first section, which provides that "aH
able bodied male citizens (whites, In
dians and nsgroes,) and persons of for
eign birth who shall have declared on
oath their Intention to become citizens,
between the ages of twenty and forty
five years, except as hereinafter excepted.
are hereby declared to constitute the ma
tional forces, and shall be liable TO per-
form military duty in the service of the
United States when called out by the
President for that purpose"
Now let us briefly consider tho com
parative strength Of the forces Of the
Union thus placed at the service Of the
President for the purpose Of putting
down the armed forces Of the rebellion.
From the census statistics of 1850 (white
basis) we make out the following as

STAIRS AND TERRITORIES.

But bringing all the aforesaid States
10 an estimate for 1860, we viii put their
aggregate militia force between eighteen
aud forty Ave years az seven hundred
thousand men. OF this number at least
one hundred thousand have been lost al
ready since the beginning Of the war,
aud tho four hundred thousand which
are now in the Geld embrace very nearly
drawn from the agricultural and manu-
featuring pursuits OF the rebel States,
which are indispensable 10 the mainten-
ance OF their soldiers in the field, the sub
sistenoe Of their families at home, and
the government Of the slaves on their
plantations.

The WAT Is disclosing, in a remarkable
degree, the beauties and pscuIiarities Of
the system which has so long shamed
our civilization. Thus, for Instance, in
North Carolina, not long since, a pack Of
bloOdhounds employed in hunting fusi-
tiyes from bondage were captured by
our fsrces in Alabama, Mississippi,
Texas and elsewhere, unofendinE loyal
lists have hocked, MANNED aud SCARED,
into our lines, bleeding witnesses of tho
humane tendencies Of slavery in Vir-
ginia, drinking cups have been made Of
the skulls Of our fallen braves, aud I'm
ger rings Of their bones, oven southern
women clamoriDg therefor as ornaments
for their parlor tables. More recently,
still other discoveries Of tho beauties Of
the system have been made; and Of
one Of these we Gnd the following ac-
