NeErO Troops as CIurE.viIIe. TsnHe-.es


Negro T'roapS ne CllrAsviIIe, TeHnessee
On Wednesday two full companies Of negro
troops lsft Clafksville for Hashvills, Tenn, to
be assigned TO duty on the grest Western rail-
way. In The last ten days SIX full companies
have been sent forward from CIarksvills. Dsily,
or rather nightly, sleeves belonging to loyal citi
zsBB Of Southern Kentucky desert theiE masters
and Join the negro forces being organized ON
the border Of Tennessee. In One inFtance we
learn that negro officer, with q squad Of negro
troops from Clarksvills, went out and csmped
on ther edge Of the Kentucky and Tsnnesses
line, for tho purpose, as no Bimzelf declared, Of
giving the slaves a chance 10 i0in his force, and
receive safe conduct into The Federal lines.
at present there are 1t CiaTksville six com
psnies Of negro soldiaT8, making in sll about
twelve hundred slsves that have been recruited
in that section, large portien coming from the
borders Of Kentucky. Besides the able 5odied
recruits, the city and vicinity inside of the lines
are crowded by huEdrsds-nay, almost thou
sands Of negro womsn and children, who have
suffered much through the past winter Thsy
are huddled together, with 10 visible means Of
support, and are forced to live by pilfering the
country. Deaths are numerous, and an ekten-
sive space haE bsen allotted for negro bury
ing ground. The nRmaTous graves that are
daily made, the squalid condition Of the families
mRssed together, and the wreck Of property
that goes steadily on, all speak too plainly Of
the miserable policy on the southern Borders Of

CAUTIOUS The Nashville Press wants its
friends to look facts sq q7aEelY in the face, and
not uuderraie the Confederate strength in North
Georgia. It says:
Both parties to this war, before and for some
months after its inception, bad but an imperfect
idea Of the work in front The Southern people
had bean led by sheir leaders to believe that the
Northern people lacked pluck; aRa the North
ern people firmly believed that the rebel On
would be crushed ont in ninety days We
doubt whether q hundred men in the grand az
my Of the PotomEe anticipated anything more
Than few skirmishes with the rebels. when
they set ont on their march TO Richmond, in Ju-
ly, 1861. The battle Of Manassas undeceiVed
them.
We now read and hear q great deal about the
characterization Of Joe. JOhEston's rebel sTmy
II has been asserted as fact, that more than
eight thousand have deserted the rebel banner
within the past few months This may al be
true, and we trust if is; but whether il is tue
or false. we cannot persuade ourselves 70 believe
that Atlanta viii be taken without q great bat
tie That position is too important 70 the rebel
cause to be tsmely surrendered. L viii not be-
and We have too much coufdsncs in the military
capacity Of Gen. Grant to suppose that such an
idea has entered bis mind.
Nor is he deceived by the ha~' cry that
the rebels are in ssarying condition. He
knows thst they have beef and bread enough
to supply their physical wants for some months
to CONT; aud when he takes the lins CT march
for Atlanta, NO have an abiding faith that he
willTely on the courage and numbers Of bis
army for success, and not upon the Eeputed
weakness Of the enemy from any cause Ehstso-
ever. This is as it should be, ia our unmilitsTy
judgment. When the spring campaign opens,
we hope to see him move with rot less Lhen one
hundred and fifty thoassnd. With such au

seusl, in this city, on Saturday, in regard to
which 80 many eTroue0us reports have got
afoAt, that We arc glad TO have il ia our peSer

ire was limited TO one wooden building (ths
pyroteehnic room,) 80 by 1S feet, which was
completely destroyed. One of the operatives,
Emanuel Hogan, met horrible death by suffo-
cation in the burning building. He WAS q Grip
pie, having lost leg during the siege Of Bst-
terry Wagner, and was, therefore, unable 10
make bis escape in time. Several others were
slightly injured. The accident occurred by the
explosion Of 3 rocket in driving which com
Dunickted a spark to the mixing room, in which
were shout twenty pounds Of powder. This
explosion igniied the building. The accident
caused no other loss Of material, and but little
