-.- From the Nashville Union.
The Louisville Journal Denounced,

n late numoef OF the Louisville
Journal publishes two communications,
purporting to come from this place, which
complain bitterly of the course of the
Nashville Unioa One of these COM
munications is signed Nashcile," and
the other is anonymous. Ordinarily we
would pay no attention to such censures,
as every one has our hearty consent to
think of our paper just what he pleases
We will find fault with no man for dis
liking the Nashville Union. We will,
however, notice th4 communications be-
cause the Journal, finding itself worsted
and exposed in its recent editorial con-
tests with US, has seen fit to skulk out of
the controversy, and assail US through
its correspondents, whose articles it en-
dorses as follows:
The Union Cause In Tennessee
"We this morning publish two COM
munications on this subject, one entitled
UelOped an Tennessee" and the other en-
titled "A Voice from Tennessee" We
commend these communications to the
thoughtful attention of the public. They
are striking and instructive. They can
not be successfully gainsaid. They un-
questiouably represent the views and
sentiments of the Unionists of Tennes-
see as a body"
The Journal thus broadly and uue-
qulvocaiiy reiteraUes the sentirueIIts of
its correspondents What are they?
One is that not more than a corporals
guard of the Tennessee Union men are
with the Nashville Union" The facts
are that in last April we began the Nash
vile Union without a subscriber, and
since that time our subscription list and
sales have both steadily increased, ex-
cept during the blockade, until oar daily
circulationis is now oUer 4, 800 copies.
Another statement of the Journal is
that it is "a fact we'll known and pub
lished 10 the world, by all the correspou-
dents Of loyal newspapers, that Union
sentiment in Tennessee is losing ground. y
We don't believe one word of this state
ment, and we do not know one intelli-
gent Union man who does. Such loyal
papers" as the Indianapolis Sentinel,
Cincinnati Enquirer, Chicago Times,
and Louisville Journal have doubtless
stated so frequently, for the laudable and
honorable purpose of making capital
against the Administration We believe
that the Union sentiment is progressing
steadily in this State The overwhelm
ing majority of the East Tennessee sol
diers at Murfreesboro, are for standing
up like patriots to the Administration,
until the rebellion is thoroughly crushed
out and they are not at all scrupulou'
about the means and agencies used to
kill off the race of traitors. ..
But the Journal again exultingly an
nounces that nothing but the army
keeps this paper (the UMoN) in Nash
Vile" We ask if one true Union maj
could stay in Nashville, except in Jail
"if it were not for the army" at whicl
the Journal turns up its nose. If it
correspondents are true Union men, a
the Journal pretends they are, coult
they remain in Nashville day in safety
if it were not for the army? Is it no
the presence of the Federal army Onl
which protect us from Forests guerrillas
from McCann's hiqhwaynnen, ana iron
Kirk assaSslns!
The remark that the Union would nc
be suffered to be published in Nashvlll
if it were not for the glorious army c
Rosecrans, is very high compliment t
its earnest and unadulterated loyalty.
The covert sneer at the Union for b'
ing, as it is styled, most groundlessl,,
the organ of Governor Johnson, IS
keeping with the arrogance, lmpert
nence, and meanness of the JOurhd
The Journal hates Governor Johnso
for his detestation of its wretched pollc
as bitterly as it hates the soldiers
Murfreesboro, the immortal heroes
Stones River, for their denunciation
the Journals Copperhead allies: 1t d
nounced the soldiers for daring to e
press their opinion of the Copperhead
1t wanted General Rosecrans to put
stop to such expressions. 1t has been
silent as the tomb in reference to t
. great Union meetings which asSembF
at Cincinnati at Indianapolis, and
d over the Northwest, to respond to t
appeal of our noble soldiers, and to I
sure them of their sympathies. 1t ,
- not published line of the soul-stlrri
speeches of Governor Tod, of Govern
Morton, or of Governor johnson,

from endorsing the position of these P
