LATE NEW S.


New York, Jan. 20,--The World says
it is uncertain whether the total strength
of the rebel army equals ours. A des-
perate struggle is now pending, and very
stirring news may be expected shortly

steamer Vanderbilt is coaling, probably
for another search after the Alabama.

Royal letter of the 18th, stating that six
deserters from Fort Sumter, Charleston,
had arrived aboard the blOckading YES
sells, reporting that most of the garrison
threw down their arms, refusing TO fight
under the Confederate flag. They were
half famished, and their families in
want, owing TO the noA-receipt of pay.
Other troops came and obliged them to
return to duty. The dissatisfaction
among the rebel troops is widespread.
The men worked day and night, half
starved, and received no money. The
Wisahacken recently drove the rebels out
of battery on Branch Island but they
returned and put a shot into her which
nearl y sunk her.
New York, Jan. 20.-A letter from the
Army of the Potomac to the Tribune
says the reports from Nashville that
Longstreets corps has removed westward
to reinforce Bragg are unfounded.
LOngstreet himself was here two days
ago with his command.
II is believed that no entire rebel corps
has been withdrawn from our front, but
information from deserters and contra-
bands that some batteries, brigades, and
divisions have been detached and sent
Tennesseeward.

A Penitent Confederate.

A frank, intelligent, and plain-spoken
young man, apparently about eighteen
years old, who had been in the rebel ar.
my at Murfreesboro, and had voluntarily
surrendered himself TO our troops, came
into the Governors room at the capitol,
yesterday, and expressed desire TO
take the oath of allegiance. Something
like the following colloquy took place
between the Governor and the young
sol der
SoLDIER-"I am sick and tired of the
war, and want 70 take the oath Of allie
glance and 60 North"
GovERsoR-"Do you think you have
got all your rights?"
SOLDIER-" Yes" {pointing, TO scar
on his forehead) "here is one of them"
GOVERNOR" What. do your soldiers
generally think Of this war ?"
SoLDIER-" They are mighty tired Of
it, There are plenty of them who
would be glad to go home and stay If
they could. They wouldn't. stay a day
longer in the army il they wasn't
made to"
GOVERNOR" Did you ever hear them
Say anything about this law of JEFF.
DAvIs's, which allows man TO remain
at home if he owns twenty negroes"
SoLDER-"Oh yes; lots Of times,
They talk of it often. They are all
down on it, and think it very hard on
the poor men. They say il isn't right
GovERNoR-"B But do you think that
the soldiers understand this law prop
erly. Do they really know what it
means ~
SOLDIER" They understand it mighty
well. They all say it is aothing but a
law for the benefit of big shareholders,
and 10 keep the poor men under"
The leaven is at work Let it work.
The rotten edifice of Richmond aristoc-
racy is shaking, and will soon tOpplc
headlOng TO hell.

Government Negro LabOrers.

The Cincinnati Enquirer Of the 18th
publishes a letter purpOrting 10 come from
colder in our army at Murfreesboro,
from which we take Che following
extract:
Thousands o. lazy, worthless negroes
in the Government employ at good wages,
around Nashville, are dressed IN ne finest
and most comfortable style, hving on soH
bread, sugar cured hams and DE best co6ee.
How long viii gulled nation and a
suffering army" &C., &c, &c.
il is not strange that man who could
make statement so extraordinary
should also make the additional state.
ment that
g II appears, after all, that the war we
are waeing against our white brethren
Of the South is for The benefit Of the
blacksp
The last quoted proposition being laid
down, in the true JEFF. DAVIS and Gin
cinnati Enquirer style, the Gact first
quoted Of course had TO be fabricated TO
prove it. If the EnQmrer's letter-writer
had inquired into the facts of the case,
and observed the actual condition Of
these negroes who are employed by the
Government, he never would have done
such gross injustice TO the officers of the
Government, who have control Of the
negroes. The facts of the case are these :
The negroes spoken Of have been pressed
into service to work on the Notifications;
they are superintendent and vigilantly
controlled by military authority kept
busily at work; receive $40 per month
as wages, and are fed on army rations,
and nothing else. They are clothed in
the plainest manner, as all can see for
themselves who will notice them as they
pass through our streets, in going to and
returning from their daily task
The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1863-01-23

note of all this had been sounded in New
York under the specious claim OF State
sovereignty. This infamous doctrine
that the State had the power 10 override
the country in the time of war like this
must be put down, or the country
will be ruined. Men had kept still n
year until misfortune had fallen upon
our ssms, and then they came out and
cried against the war in the name of the
Democracy, because they thought they
could gain political power; and here to-
day Senator had talked an hour and n
half concerning the war, and had said
not one word against these rebels who
were trying TO break up the Government.
If ever this Government fell, its death
would come from traitors in the North.
and il was time the Government took
measures to defend itself against them.
There were fifteen thousand graves in
Indiana to-day, she has sent one hundred
thousand men to the field, and she would
send one hundred thousand more before
the Government should fall by the hand of
treason. Applause in the galleries.
AS Hamilton swore his child 60 eternal
hatred to Rome, so he was willing to
to swear his children TO fight forever for
the unity and preservation of the Gov
eminent. Applause in the galleries

New States.

Washington dates of the 10th inst,
state that the House Committee on Ter
ritories have agreed TO bill admitting
Nevada, Colorado, and Nebraska into the
Union. When these States are admitted
the Union will comprise thirty -One
States, not counting the seven rebel
States, which are trying TO secede, and
only SEQ Sorro,o. SO 1t appears that our
country is still warm with the invigOrs-
ting spirit of progress and expansion. In
stead of severing the Union, we mean
to lengthen its cords and strengthen its
stakes. SO said in substance the trait
or BRECKISRIDGE years ago, when, like
BALAAM of old, although in his heart he
wished 10 curse Israel, yet he was forced
to bless it and predict its future glory.

THg STEAMBOAT HAsTHGs. - The
Louisville Journal Of the 10th inst. says
The steamer Hastings, which was re-
leased by the rebels at Harpeth Shoals,
upon condition that quantity Of cotton
on board should be burned upon the ar
rival OF the boat at Louisville, lie in port.
A military guard has been placed on
board, and the officers of the boat will
not Of course be permitted 70 destroy the

Consumption in Williamson County.


The bloOdhounds of CONSUMPTION are
pursuing their miserable victims, with
fresh fury in Williamson county. The
notorious FoRREsT was in Columbia, a
few days ago, and portion of his force
stopped in Franklin, to impress men and
boys into the rebel army. The Union
men were the especial marks for their
vengeance, and every species of outrage
and wrong was heaped upon them. Their
property was carried of, or destroyed
their stables, barns, and houses burned,
and themselves forced into the rebel
ranks. Such deeds call loudly upon the
nation 70 put forth every effort TO exter
inmate traitors and treason.
