Yesterday was by far the most disa-
greeable day of the disagreeable month
of March. The wind blew violently,
bearing on its wings clouds Of dust to
the dire annoyanc of all who were un-
der the necessity of appearing on the
streets. Such winds, however, dry the
earth rapidly, and we have no doubt that
the condition Of the various camps OF

greatly improved. Followed by contin-

WEDNESDAY, MORNING. APRIL l 'cs.

Up TO the close Of the year 1860, Nash
vile was one Of the most prosperous
cities ia the South. A judicious system
of internal Improvements, resulting, FIRST
in a number Of turnpike roads connect
ing her with the most wealthy and pro-
duclive counties of Middle Tennessee;
and subsequently, in railroads extending
her commercial relations to distant States,
drew to her an enriching commerce which
yearly increased, and caused every
branch Of her business TO flourish. Her
schools, public and private, were gener-
ally Of a high order Of excellence. Ed
ucauon aud refinement, religion and the
observance Of law and order, progressed
with her material prosperity. The fu-
turo was full Of hope, and all looked to
il with the expectation that there would
be no pause in her onward career. She
was then under the agis Of the Union
and the federal government. But in an
evil hour, the mass of her leading
member men of mark,-who had ever
exhibited the most fervent devotion
to the government CT their fathers
apostatized from the Faith and yielded
to the cunning wiles Of the conspirators
against the Union. Since that fatal
moment, the vigor and prosperity OF
Nashville have been palsied. Trade and
commerce are restricted, and business in
all its legitimate departments, Ian
guishes. Her merchants, once honored
and respected for their enterprise and
integrity, have disappeared, generally,
from the public marts, and strangers
have taken their places TO transact the
little business which the condition OF
affairs permits. All around her, and
within her borders, are camps of SOL
diers men of the North, who have come
here to perform the sacred duty OF de-
Tending our free Institutions, and per-
petuating them; and she has suffered and
will continue to suffer, so long as the war
lasts, the inevitable consequences which
attend the movements of large armies
No longer is she the beautiful city, which
was once the boast of her people. Di-
lapidation and decay are seen on every
hand. There is no chance for improve
ment in her condition until the old etatlt
is restored, and peace smiles upon III
again. And is it not time that all o
her citizens we're crying aloud 70
cessation of hostilities and the renew
al Of allegiance, on the part of all, to th
government of the United States? Tw,
years of war have proven, amply proven
that it is not the design Of Providenc
TO permit this great nation TO be rent il
twain--that it is destined TO continu
"one and insoparable," however might.
the energies and sublime the courage O
the mistaken people who have engage
in the rebellion. The capacity and pow
er of the government to maintain it's au
thority, exposed though they may hav
been 10 doubt and misapprehension b
incompetency, ifnot treason in the army
are now palpable. Every succeeding da.
but serves to develop its irresistibl
strength, and to assure us of its ullimat
triumph, II is useless, therefore, to con
tend against that which is inevitabl,
Rebels Of Nashville, submit whilst 20
can do so with honor, and return TO tn
family household. "Now's the day, an
noW's the hour"
