YANKEE OfiJIoN OF THsIA FHIRNpo N EAs
Tssssssss.-Among the letters csp,nrsd BY our
forces while sround Knoxville was one from d. G
OriNn to bis father In New York. The opaulon
expressed must be very hsttering 10 the UnIonIsts
Of East Tennessee:
Oar Union friends have fanatIcism and enthusj-
asm enough, but they are 40 ignorant and I'LL bred
as TO disgust any gentleman. The WOMEN know
how "a make .'eorB dodgsrs' and dirty little Rede-
raj nae, "glnger cakes and the like ~ and Ia curse
and polns out their IL lies and rebel
geMtienen-and that il about all.
The rebel ladies are intelligent, well Bred and
good looking-disni6ed and bold In their demean-
or. But they won't talk to us--eOnsider them
selves our supe riors, simply fiom the fact that We
are lighting for their interiors, the Union ladies'
They are not 10 blame. often blush when think
Of the common herd that l am penling my life for
God save me from such ignorant trash.
You have often heard OF maj0sities for the Union
In ESst Tenaeasee, but I lnuft confess, taking
everything insa consider sioo, IL rcbels ere
titled 10 any countryit II II this. Their friends are
many, strong In their fidelity, and seem to have
sOme plausible reasons for their rights, &c.
The name OF tory seems to suit them very well.
don't wonder at tine promotion Of Gov. Johnson
Horace Maynard, and others. Such a people can
"Union f0Iks.'
can't think that we shall remain here very long,
even the rebels permitting. The rebel General
Vaughn and Others are continually annoying us, so
much 50 thatw cannot see any peace fnr them
We didn't expect to nght the rebels when we camo
here but 6nd thai personal safety will force us
to 6ght them hard aud often.
