Tho Sentiment of the Public.
The increase of our subscription list
for the past week amounts TO over one
thousand names, all entirely new subscri-
bers. AS several Copperhead journals
have taken pains to assure their readers
that the Union does not reflect the senti-
ments of loyal Tennesseans, and of the
men who are fighting the battles of their
country, we beg leave to give a few speci-
mems of the vast number of letters, which
we are daily receiving:
A Tennessee Refugees Letter.

a m@n of bad judgment, or he is a wolf

From a soldier;
81 lend you a list Of twenty-five sub
scribers. We have been readers of your
paper for the past six months. We like
IL for its fearless tone, for the stand it
has taken for the "Union," for its fear
less denunciation of the enemies of our
country, both at home and in Dixie's
land; aud we want our friends and fam
lilies in the North to see that such a paper
is published in Tennessee. We hope it
may be the means Of converting some of
the Copperheads in our home country.
The subscribers are all OF company b,
87th Ill. Vols, We have been in the SER
vice twenty months, and are willing 20
stay three times twenty months, if me-
cessary, TO rid our country of traitors,
whether at home or in the South. We
have no sympathy for the copperhead
traitors of the North. We despise, we
loathe-aye, we bitterly hate them. We
entered the army to fight for the Union,
and we will fight
"Tl the lastarmed foo expires
We will fight till we see that glorious old
flag floating over every city, town, fort,
and battlement in our land. Then, and
then only, can we return homo conscious
OF having done our duty to our country
aud her laws"
Another writes
The uncompromising spirit Of tho
Nashville UNION meets tho approval
Of the soldiers. They will spead

how your paper could be done without ia

in the hearts Of the bravo boys who
have left home for the tented field TO en-
dure the hardships Of camp life,

1--WE want 10 show TO the world what
true patriotism Is, and your paper, teem-
ing with loyal publications, surrounded
as you are by sympathizers with treason,
Is best calculated to teach man North and
South, true patriotism. When men stand
firm 10 the cause Of freedom, unshakon
