The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1864-03-26

Everything remains quiet at the
front Both parties are doubtless pre-
pairing for the contest, with all con-
ceivable diligence; but no movement
has yet taken place, nor viii one occur
Immediately
Union and Reconstruction In Alabama.
We have pretty abundant evidence
of the fact that Alabama needs only to
be freed from the presence Of the rebel
troops, in order to secure its return TO
the Union We yesterday published
the proceedings Of a meeting held at
Larkinsville, on the north side OF the
Tennessee river; and we have now be-
fore us the resolutions Of another gath
ering, at Huntsville, on the 18th, which
was largely attended, and whose action
must have great weight with the people
Of Alabama
The resolutions adopted at these
meetings were not ooncocted by Off
GERS in the army, nor passed by their
votes. BY order Of Gen. Logan, at
Huntsville, and Gen. Smith, at Lark
insyille, all outsiders were strictly pro
hibited from interfering in the pro
ceedings and, therefore, the action
was the action Of citizens; Of Alaba-
mians untrammelled by outside in
Auence, and unfettered by fear
Many Of the names which appear
conspicuously are not unknown in the
country at large; two or three have
long been familiar to the whole nation;
and when the State is regenerated-
and we hope the day of triumph is not
distant-these men will be rewarded
by the loyal masses at home, and APP
plauded by an appreciative populace
throughout the country.
The Governor of Alabama is called
upon to order an election for the selec-
ton of delegates to State Convention;
but it is not probable that at this time
he could do 50, if he would; and we
are very sure he would not do so
if he could He was chosen as a conseT-
vative, and expected to act in accord
ance with.the views he promulgated pl e,
vious to the election; butno sooner was
he installed into Office, than he became
the most violent of the fire-eaters
The Union men, thus betrayed, had no
recourse left, but submission to the
vilest tyranny that ever saw the sun.
They went into the war, and terrible
has been their punishment
The expressions of public sentiment
at Huntsville, and Larllinsville, are not
those Of two isolated communities. We
have information from the interior of
the State, which is of the highest i'm
portance; but we are compelled, for
reasons which will suggest themselves
to the reader, to withhold names, and
localities.
Many are members OF secret Union
organizations, who have long been
known in connection with National pol
tiles; but frightful system of espion-
age is kept upon their FACTIONS and move
ments, and they can consequently do
but little The names of many Of the
leaders have been forwarded to Rich
mond, that they may be dealt with &C
cording to the Davis policy; and we ex-
pect soon to hear of the arrest of two
or three well known parties, who have
hitherto escaped the conscription from
their age They will experience no
mercy at the hands of the Richmond
Dynasty, if seized
We have hope and assurance that the
day that shall witness the dispersion of
the rebel garrisons in Alabama is not
far distant and we have infinite conf
dence that when this work shall have
been accomplished the people will do
the rest
As a sample of the discomfort preva-
lent among the people, we have lately
been informed upon good authority,
that short time since a brigade of
conscripts under Gen Clanton, was sta
toned at Pollard; and that so completely
was the demoralization-so open were
the threats of mutiny, that the whole
brigade, as SUCH was disbanded, and
the men distributed about among old
regiments few in each-as the only
means of retaining them in the service
A people thus wearied with a wicked
and causeless war; thus harassed by
the instruments Of tyranny; will gladly
welcome relief from the Union armies
