The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1864-12-02

constant communication with them is indi-
cative Of the thoroughness and skill with
which measures have been taken, that,
while the closest watch is kept through ths
city, the agents Of the Government and
their mode Of operation are wholly IN
known to the public st large The con-
| dition Of things naturally excites much
alarm among the Southerners in this city,
and large numbers OF them register
themselves daily and many have come
forward to give what aid they can in
detecting the plot. The number Of these
refugees has been much exaggerated, and
those whom opportunities give the best
means Of judging, estimates them at from
10000 to $4,000. 0s these large proper
ton are women, and loyal soatherners who
have sbandoned their property and lied to
escape the tyranny Of JET. Davis. All
who register themselves are obliged TO take
the oath Of allegiance. The only excep-
tons to this rule are those who, for reasons
Of public policy, are exempt.
The precautions taken are such that it is
probable that the city was never 50 sa fs as
at this moment. The vigilance exercised
is wen Illustrated by the discovery OF tor
pedo on board Of one Of the sound freight
steamers. It was little pasteboard box,
only about four inches long, aud was placed
in a boat which carried but few passengers,
and which afforded the best opportunities
for skeh an enterprise. Notwithstanding
these facilities xas easily discovered and
femoved. For obvious reasons, we still re-
fain from printing the names Of the per-
sons arrested, such information is precisely
most desired by their eonfederates still at
large. -
