carefully chosen through the sections
where the Vallandignamites were known
to be strongest, but inasmuch as MORGAN
appropriated the horses of his Copperhead

From the Nashville Glenn. Union.l
The following letter will be read with
deep interest, as furnishing new confrma-
ton of the already well established vii
lainy of the rebel leaders:
Mr.. EDITOR The conspiracy to over
throw orr Government, which has in
yolyed Us in this terrible war, so disas-
trous TO our portion OF the country, ought
TO be established b proofs so conclusive,
that its existence will never be called in
Question. Let posterity know the guilty
suthers of all this mischief. They should
not be allowed TO divide the blame with
any body else.
To render their memory still justly exc
Grated, record should be preserved, as
far IS practicable, Of their barbarities and
outrages in prosecuting the war. In both
poiats of view, l ask You to publish the
enclosed letter from Mr. Alfred Hoss, g
gentleman of East Tennessee, of cultiva-
tion, intelligence and entire reliability.
The letter establishes two facts
/. That prior TO the election of 1860,
the plan OF attack upon the Government,
substantially as afterwards carried into ex-
ecuuon, was probably revealed and de-
nounced by party having abundant OPP
portlnity to know ii. His name, given in
the letter, you will please withhold, Us l
understand he has once been imprisoned
10y the rebels, and may now be in their
power.
,. 1t has been charged, on the authori-
ty of an officer III the rebel service. that
on the eve OF the battle of Stones River,
IL !
than iDtimated willingness TO have them
murder the prisoners they might take in
the coming fight.
Mr.. Hoss shows that after the battle, one
OF the soldiers was declaring his intention
to edopt that course III his own future OPP
eraIions, and referring to the Reverend
Bishop as authority tor his conduct.

NORTH OARoLINA.-This old Stste,
