The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1864-03-11

A perfect calm reigns in military
circles, everywhere. Nothing is trans
piring worthy Of note In Tennessee,
scarcely band Of guerrillas has been
heardof for weeks and certainly order,
in Gen Rousseau's district Is as perfect
as in any of the loyal States. The Gen
erals executive ability is Of the finest
order, as is evinoed by the manner in
which he has brought order out OF
chaos. since his first installment as
commander here His liberal policy
will contribute wonderfully TO a restor-
alton of the State Of Tennessee TO the
Union.

give is HaIl Facilities.

Srhero is no further occasion for with.
holding mail facilities from the people
Of Tennessee. The State is to-day as
Tranquil as Kentucky; it east, on Satur
day last at least 10000 votes; and the
number would have reached 10000, nm
der the simple amnesty ofthe President
and this number Of loyal men, is sufii
GENTLY great to receive consideration al
the hands Of the Postmaster General
and we trust that he will do something
speedily, to relieve them from the en-
barrassments of which their isolation is
productive.
Within the last three or four days, we
have been called upon by residents Of
at least a dozen counties, all Of whom
concur in the statement that the mails
could be carried through their neigh
borhoods, with entire safety; and they
all agree as to the anxiety Of the people
to be once more in communication with
the outside world
There are hundreds Of men, who
were always patrons Of newspaper
who were readers, and thinkers, and
withal good Union men, who have never
yet seen a copy Of the Presidents am
nesty proclamation; many of them
have not seen newspaper in six
months Is it possible, under such cir
cumstances, for men to act intelligently
on many of the issues Of the day? Not
by any means.
During the troublous fimes Of 1862
and 1863, Kentucky was favored with
mai facilities, except in isolated local
tiles, though the State was constantly
infested, and communications continual
ly interrupted by guerrillas; and there is
no reason why redeemed Tennessee
should not receive the same considera-
ton at the hands of the Government,
with its neighbor
The first steps in the direction Of re-
organization have been taken and the
blessings which should flow from q re-
storation Of law and order, should not
be withheld a moment longer than is
absolutely necessary. If it is the de-
sign to attach the people to the General
Government, the latter must exhibit a
readiness to extend its blessings to all
its loyal citizens.
We have no doubt but the Post
master General, whenever the matter is
represented 10 him Alright, will act
promptly and satisfactorily; and we
would suggest that a petition from 10y
al Tennesseans be forwarded to him,
asking his immediate attention to the
wants of the State, ANIL the necessity
for a speedy relief
We would suggest that the newly
elected officers, IN the various counties,
interest themselves in the matter They
are all men of influence; they have
Just received the endorsement Of their
constituents; and by a concerted effort
on their part, can bring the whole pub
lie sentiment to bear upon the Admin
istration at once.

VIII Free Negroes Work ?

This question IS one which is now Of
great importance 10 the country, and
particularly to this State Have We
an idle, worthless population of 100000
within our boundaries, OF will they prove
industrious, and quiet citizens2 We
have heard so often that nothing but
the lash viii make the negro work, that
we are getting Injured to it; there is
not a petty rebel sympathizing paper
throughout the North, but will tell you
that such is the case; though with sin
gular inconsistency, in their next issue
they will urge that the emancipated
slave is about to overrun the North,
and do all the labor, while the white
man, unable to compete with him will
starve
But will he work2 The case of the
West Indies is constantly cited by those
who deny that he will do any thing
but these parties confne themselves to
a comparison in respect to one or two
articles, which at one time fourished
under an artificial stimulus, but which
declined, the moment that was taken
away
Besides for years after emancipation
had taken place, the negroes of the
island labored under great disadvan-
tages, calculated to embarass the in
dustry of any people But these have
been overcome, and the island flour
ish
The publication of recent reports, has
nearly ended the cry about the failure
of Emancipation in the West Indies;
but here and there politician clings
to his old weapon, and rides his old
hobby The New York News of late
date says:
But all experience proves that the Artisan
will not work unless he is made to, and he
cannot be made unless he is a slave. If
really free he won't work except for bare
subsistence.
On the other hand, Sir Charles Grey,
lately Governor of Jamaica, says
There are few races Of men who will work
harder or more Perseveringly, agkea they are
ss7c Of getting the fruit Of their labor, than
the African.
The property accumulated by the
negroes during the twenty-seven years
Immediately following their emancipa-
ton, is GO, 35SOOO, and three-ffths Of
all the cultivated land in the island is
the bona fde property Of the colored
people, bought and paid for by their
own industry
As the proof of the failure of eman-
cipation the Daily News contrasts the
exports of 1909 and 1910 with those of
1853 and 1854 In 1909 and 1910 the
British West Indies had the monopoly
of the English market, whereas in 1853
and 1854 that market was thrown open
to the world by a perfect equality be-
tweed British colonial products and
those of foreign countries, besides
which there existed no war, as in 1909
and 1910, to prevent importation of
colonial produce from foreign countries.
The selection therefore of such COM
parative statistics is a gross deception.
The merits Of the question viii better
appear by the following statistics of the
British West India Islands, at the
moment Immediately preceding eman-
cipation and fourteen years after eman-
cipation We must here call attention
TO tho fact that the population of the
islands was rapidly declining previous

Horace Greeley's Great American Con.
hlct.

We have received from the publish
ers-O. D. Case d Co, Of Hartford, Con
neutrality-suspicious. page" of Mr. Gree
ley's history of the great American con
fict, which, we learn, is to be complete
in two volumes, octaYo. The typo
graphical execution of the work is ex'
tremely neat, and the paper employed
of an excellent character But it is
not in this, that the chief excellence
of the work consists but in the mat
ter it contains.
1t is not written after the usual man
ner of histories; there is no attempt at
a flourish of style; but it is one of the
most complete encyclopedias of fact
we have ever examined. The author
has searched every page of history re.
lating to the subject upon which he is
treating and has exhumed a mass OF
material, the value of which can scarce
ly be estimated.
The pages before us relate exclusive
ly to a discussion Of the causes antece-
dent to the war and which led 70 it !;
and those who desire TO study them
thoroughly, should take occasion TO
possess themselves of the work, as soon
as it is issued from the press.
What gives it more authority than
histories usually possess, is the fact that
the documents cited are given in the
body of the work, in the shape of ex-
tracts, to which is appended the book,
and the page, on which the original can
be found
Those who desire a complete manual
of facts relating to our history-and
who would arrive at an intelligent con
elusion relative to his duties as a citi-
zen-should consult this work, above
all others ever emanating from the
American press.
We understand that nearly $4,000
copies of the work have already been
ordered, though the first volume is not
yet all in type; which is a success I'M
exampled in this or any other country.

GEN. MEAGHER on CoPrEEuEADs.
At a reception Of the officers Of the Irish
Brigade in New York last week, General
Neagher, in rising to propose a toast in favor
Of President Lincoln, expressed himself in
the following pointed and eloquent terms:
Beware Of what has grown to be the most
significant designation OF Northern enemies
Of this country; beware of the reptiles who are
known as copperheads. Applause and Kisses. |
For the enemies of this country in the North,
who have no excuse, who bid their friends 90
forth to do battle, and then cut down the
bridges behind them so that they may fall
sacrifices to the enemy, as they did when
General Lee invaded Pennsylvania last sum
mer, raising a revolt when you were battling
for the stars and stripes upon the Susquehan-
ma; as for these men, we have nothing but de-
detestation; and for the Irish portion of it, I
deprccate, [ loathe, [ repudate, [ cxecratc
them. IApplause.
