The following communication was re-
eeived some days ago, but was not pub
lished at the time for the want Of a
name. The matter is deserving of the
strictest scrutiny, for the accusation
charges the grossest violation, or the
grossest neglect of duty.
CAMP NEAR MURTREEsBoRo, TENN.,(
February 4th, 1868.
Editor Nashville Union Permit me
through your columns to call the atten.
'tion Of those whose business il is to the
careless manner in which the mails are
transported from Nashville to this place.
A few days since l was going to Nash
vile, and on the road met an army mail
wagon, containing several bags of mail.
Two or three of the bags we're either
torn open or cut open, will not venture
to say which, and the letters were bounce
ing out and falling on the road to be
trampled in the mud by the next team
that came along Such things are, in
deed, shame, and should be no longer
tolerated tits too bad, that men who
have left home, and all they hold most
dear, to endure the hardships and priva-
tions of soldiers life, in order to pre-
serve our glorious Union il is too bad,
indeed, if they are to be prevented from
receiving those messages of friendship
and affection from the loved ones they
have left behind, through the inefliciency
or negligence Of careless mail agents.
By inserting this in your journal, and
calling the attention of the authorities
TO it, you will confer favor upon the
soldiers Of this Department., and will
greatly oblige, soldier of the
NINETEENTH ILLINOIS.

Yesterday morning an army Of rain
clouds hid behind masked battery of
beautiful sunshine, and enticed forth a
large number Of unsuspecting pedectri-
ans, attired in their best wardrobe iinery.
About ten o'clock the masked battery
turned itself loose, and it has been rain
ing necessarily ever since. The streets
are now as muddy and sloppy as any
aquatic fowl could desire. The prospect
for them to remain so, for sometime, are
disagreeably fiattering,

CoNsoRIPrING,--The Confederates have
lately been enforcing their pet eonscrip-
tion law in Maury county. We learn
that Mr., DILLAHA, of that county, upon
being advised by some Of his friends to
quietly submit TO impressment, vowed he
would take his own life before he would
shoulder rebel musket A few days
afterwards, party Of horse were scour-
ing his section, taking oonsoripts into the
Confederate army. They came up with
Mr.. DnLAnA, when, being unable TO make
good his escape, he drew knife and cut
his own throat from ear TO ear. He died
short time thereafter. A fearful threat
and right fearfully was il executed.

SUNDAY MORNING. FEB. ID 1858.

Yesterday was sT. vALENrNE's day,
and the customary little love missiyes
were scattered around on every hand,
shedding their rays Of gladness into the
loving corners Of many an anxious heart
Who knows how many solmen vows were
made permanent through the agency of
yesterdays Valentines Or how many
coquettish beauties read their heart
mortgages with trot Of the foot, proud
toss of the head, while eyes frightened
and cheeks warmed into changeable and
dolphin.like hues; as these VOWS found
an anchorage in heaving bosoms. There
is not word in WEBsTER's unabridged
thatso awakens a maiden's sensibility
as "voaos." II copjures up those dim,
shadowy and ravishingIy blissful and
confused visions Of the time when firta-
lions will be ended, and coquetting and
folly given up--when care aud anxiety
will be sweetly interminglcd with the
quiet happiness and home-like indepen-
dence of The wife.
Memory, on its golden wings, takes us
back to the halcyon days Of our boy
hood, when Valentine was day Of days
with us, You will remember your young
days, too, reader, andjoin us in the hope
that the young folks Of to-day will have
no cause TO harshly remember yesterday.

QUEER--A correspondent of the New
York Tribune, writing from the Army of
the Potomac, saws that when the last
move Of the army was undertaken, the
other day, Gen. Franklin permitted some
of his strsgglers, his baggage and am
munition trains to be visible from the
rebel camps, thereby giving them
knowledge that movement was on foot,
and the direction it was taking. This
officer has done several queer things
which indicate that his heart is not so
deeply in the work in which he is en-
gagged as it ought TO be to insure success.
We are glad to learn that he no longer
commands the left wing of the Army of
Potomac. There is future for that
gallant army, and when it is emanci-
pated from the old Mcclellan influence
which has paralyzed its energies as q
nightmare, it will strike blows for the
Republic that will electrify the nation
Franklin, it will be remembered, was
one Of MeClellan's pets, like Fitz John
Porter, and it occasioned no little sur
prise that Burnside assigned him so i'm
portant position when that officer
superseded Mcclellan.
