The Murlreeshoro correspondent of the
Commercial furnishes that paper will
some items respecting Mr.. Nallandg
hams passage to his Southern prison
which are somewhat interesting. He
says:
"MURTREEsBoRo, May %, 1868.
"Mr. Nallandgham arrived here on 6
special train, under a strong escort, al
ten o'clock last evening Sunday having
left Louisville in the morning and passed
through Nashville without stopping.
Ills arrival was expected by the mill
tary public, but its time not being known
no demonstration of any kind took place
Indeed! That was sad disappointment
we have no doubt.-ED. Enc. lie wa,

eral, where he was seen by Rosecrans
and number of other officers. He ap-
peared to be fully composed and abstained
from the expression of any offensive sen.

Another wonder: The idea that the
great peace agitator, who had been so bold

his country, against official usurpatons

stain from the expression Of any offensive
sentiment, must have made the Gagged lion
look like meek kitten, in the eyes of

mounted escort, started down to take
him beyond our lines on the ShelbyvillC

"By the way, the prisoners was cheer.

rebel picket, commanded by Colonel

but did not like them, and that he could
not receive him within the Confederate
lines, but would permit him to remain al
his post until he had ascortainol the pleas

"The flag g-of truce party then left Val

This correspondent further says
81 deem it more than probable that il

"lIe was given to understand by Gen
Rosecrans that, should he arrange to re
turn into our lines in some way, the Pres

tence into effect would be executed"
Another correspondent of the CONNER
