Tennessee.

The following quotations from letter recently
received from Massachusetts man now in Ten
nessee afford very gratifying evidence o: the
spread of Anti-Slavery opinions in that State:
NASHVILLE Tenn, Sept. II, 1868.
find here large and increasing Anti
Slavery sentiment, as decided and active as at the
North which needs only to be organized to ex-
preston to become very effective. Here are con-
gregated large number of men, formerly slave
holders, and who will be SO again from necessity
if the institution is not abolished, who are now
as strong in our faith and more selt.sacrlfcng
than our best men. 1t would be of no use to
send Wendell Phillips here, except it should be
to learn from them. They tell me that there are
m'ry others all through the State. Mr.. -
II me that he had been an Anti-Slavery man
1, years, and since the Rebellion broke out he
h found moi than five hundred men who en-.
aimed the same opinions, but dared not COM
~ uncate them. He is ready to circulate any
1ocuments that may be furnished to him. Mr..
.- is STAKEHOLDER who left Louisville because
it was dangerous. His slaves are all there. He
left them to take care of themselves. He says i:
So was Pro-Slavery man before the Rebellion,
but turned against it as soon as they brought our
State H. They seduced my only son into the
ranks. recovered his blackened remains from
Mississippi swamp. lwept over them, but tears
brought no relief, for he died traitor. If he
could have died an honest death | could have
been comforted. | will never forgive the rebels
for this" He now enters heartily into the work
of reconstructing Tennessee or free labor This
State can be made by the corporation OF the War
Department the nucleus of the free labor system
for the South. On Monday evening
last, a meeting Of 100 men of this State was held
in the State House in this city. One old man
said he had been stakeholder, and hard master.
He had lost all his slaves, and it was the punish
ment of God for his sins God had permitted
this rebellion as a punishment for Slavery, and he
would continue to punish them until they repent
ed and abolished #. These remarks we're loudly
applauded in Nashville by Tennesseans.

Twelve thousand rebel paroled unexchanged
prisoners, from the garrison at Vicksburg, were
with Bragg in bis attack upon Rosecrans. The
rebel Commissioner Ould had published an order
declaring them exchanged, but the order was a
lie. no such exchange having taken place. Lying
is, however, to be expected after treason. The
greater crime carries in its company all the small.
or ones.

BRITISH NEUTRALlTY.-The British Govern
ment has at last evidently discovered that fitting
out steam rams for the rebels is carrying their
sympathy little beyond the boundary OF honest
neutrality Yet as might be expected the con-
siderations that influence them in OBTAINING the
new confederate cruisers now building in English
dock yards, are purely selfish. The Times, in an
editorial favorng the detention of the rams, says
nWe (Rritons) would not submit if we were
heiperents. to the dispatch of cruiser after cruiser
from neutral port to make war upon our YES
sels."
The anticipation that the time may come when
English commerce may be the prey OF cruisers
fitted out in American neutral ports. is making
international law somewhat clearer to the mind
of John Bull.

The rebels Of the South are endeayoring to
destroy our Government, our; Union; our Ma
&ionality. Ordinary rebsllions have generally
besn undertaken merely to remove the national
rulers TO change the course Of Administration.
Ours is infinitely worse than thia It aims not
merely at . change of government, but also al
IN absolute and final dismsmberment Of the
Nation. 1t strives not alone to rob us Of our
Government, but to deprive " Likewise Of our
country! sya 81 IL .s.a.se,5g d, ia
These being the avowsd aims Of tho rebels,
how lie it possible that any man can be patriotic,
while he encourages their treason, and seeks 10
ensure success to their per6dious purposes. Is
1t not an insult to the common sense Of oil for
. man to assert that hs 10 patriotic, that he is
true to his duty and bic country, while he smiles
upon, defends and aids, those who are endeavor
ing to destroy it. and denounces and defames
those who are fighting, or otherwise laboring, in
the Nations defense? What madness must ii
be that can induce men to believe the friends Of
rebels and traitors to be patriots, and those who
support and defend the country against those
Who would destroy it, Is unworthy of regard!
Yet such blindness, infatuatan, insanity, seem
to have obtained control over tho minds of too
many. We trust they will 1t last pause, and
think whittier such delusion will inevitably lead
