tragedy

The Louisville Journal of yesterday
contains long article making the aRlsnde
honorable to Col. Will. S. Hawkins, rebel
prisoner of war at Camp Chase, for re-
Publishing from some of its northern ex-
changes matter rehscting upon bis per-
sOnsl integrity. In setting itself right
with > rebel, it does fragrant injustice to
q Union man, who has been forced by
just such men as the rebel Hawkirs, 10
leave bis home and seek refuge in Indi-
ana. The Journal says:
HThe Col. Hawkins who travelled
through the northwest at the expense Of
Loyal Leaguers, engaged IN stirring up
strife, was either the Vermont swindler,
Hutchins, exposed by Brownlow, or
more probSbly, Col. Alvin Hawkins, of
West Tennessee, once in the Senate of
that State, and always q thorough going
and Influential Union man."
This reference to Alvin Hawkins,
Esq, is entirely gratuitous and calum-
Nous. He has never been engaged
in stirring up strife" at the expense of
Loyal Leaguers" or any other sort Of
Leaguers. he is an honorable, high
minded gentleman, who has devoted bis
foe talents and great influence TO the
Union GAUGE, and did as much IS any
other man to prevent tbs spread of revo-
lutionary doctrines amongst the people
Of Carroll county, in which he resides-a
county which has never faltered in It's
support of the Government of the United
States, and has contributed largely of
her gallant sons to the Federal army.
With his family he is now : refugee, re-
siding in Greencastle, Indiana, and anx-
iOusly awaiting the time when be can
return and aid in the restoration Of civil
government in his native State. 1t was
unkind, if not malicious, in the Journal
to connect lis name with that of .
"sWindler," and tOinsinuste that be had
bsen engaged in stirring up strife" any
where. he has no affinity with that
class Of men.

more OF the DIscOntenf IA North
Carolina.
Late North Carolina papers have been
received in New York and their col
umns are filed with additional evidence
of the spreading discomfort in the State.
The Raleigh Register-Jef Davis organ
lit will be reOOlleoted, was compelled
to remove to Petersburg, Va, some time
since, to avoid the fury Of the re- action
lists, who had once destroyed it; aud in
its stead was commenced the Raleigh
State Journal; but it did not flourish
the people allowed it to continue, with
out molestation from abroad; but it has
died from want of support; and its ri
vaIs are filed with humorous obituary
notices of the deceased.
The WILMINGTON Journal says:
We have already requested our read
ers 10 mark the indications. We said
then, and we say nov, that we most sin
cerely think that sn attempt will be
made to take North Carolina out of the
COnfederaoy. We say that the move
ments for which the Raleigh Standard
and Progress are responsible, look to the
consummstion. We say further, that
we have reasons to believe that Governor
Vance knows that they look TO it,"
The Journal is about the only JEFF
Davis organ in the State.
Speaking of the CONSUMPTION, the RAl-
ign Standard says;
at seems 70 be feared that the princi-
pals OF substitutes will be hurried out of
che state without giving them an oppor-
tunity 70 appeal to our judges to hear
their cases. We hope not. Such 3 step
would be productive Of evil, and evil
only"
The following notice appears in the
Raleigh Standard:

shcrm ans expedition.

We spread before the readers Of the
UNION this morning Southern accounts
of the expedition Of Gen. Sherman. 1t
is eyiden, that he was having things
bis own way, and making 3 splendid
campaign. Ontwitting the reverend
Gen. Polk, be has passed him and moved
on towards Mobile. and msy soon ex-
pect to hear of his laundering at the
gates Of that city.
The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1864-02-26


Entirely reliable information was re-
ceived in this city about half past IL
o'clock this morning, to the effect that
Sherman, on reaching Meridian, had suc-
ceoded in severing Folks army into twO
parts about oDe-t third remsining on the
north side, while the larger portion, with
Polk himself, escaped to the southwark,
and 10 making for Mobile as rapidly as
possible.
The intelligence is from Montgomery,
to the 18th, up to which time no battle
had been fought. The rebels are en-
tirely disconnected at sberman'O move
menia, and deeply perplsxed relative to
his destination; though military au-
thorities believe he intends to attack
Mobile, and are making pr operations &C.
cordingly.
All toe towns in Alabama were being
drained Of troops; only provost guard
is stationed either at Montgomery, Selma,
or Tuscaloosa, and all minor places have
been entirely evacuated.
The country is being raked for con-
scripts, all of whom are hurried up to the
threatened city; while the negroes, find
ing themselves free, are seeking our lines
by thousands, and asking protection.
The portion of Folks force which
was cut off has taken refuge on the
banks of the Tombigbee; but it will be
speedily routed By Smiths cavalry ex-
petition, which is rapidly approaching
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, and
which will attend to the rebel commune
cations, while Sherman does the heavy
tragedy.

Oar accounts from Morton, though
mssgeE, are quite cheering. The advance
of the enemy from jackson is not
deemed ominOus by any means; on the
contrary, is regarded as highly favorable
featuressof the situation.
The force of the enemy is VAri0nsly
estimated st from 25, 900 70 10000. The
best advices we have, place his force ct
IS, 600. It was thought in Meridian,
yesterday morning, that battle was
pending either st Morton or Pelehatchis
If battle lie fought at either place, we
have the utmost confidence that its re-
suits will be the almost total annihilation
Of the enemy. We ardently hope that
such will be she finale of McPherson's adj
vance, and that our friends in Mississippi
will be effectually relieved Of tho
plundering thieves Of LincOlndOm.
From the Montgomery Mall, Feb. II.
It appears that the enemy, on arriving
1T Morton, stole . march on General
Polk and moved of in the direction of
Mobile. Finding himself in this posi-
tion, General Polk sent portion Of hi
troops 10 re-enforce the garrison 1T that
point and with the residue retired to
Meridian. The cavalry, including the
combined commands Of General Lse and
Forrest are reported at last accounts in
possession Of Jackson and lowering on
the enemy's rear. This statement seems
almost incredible, and yet il is vouched
for By reliable gentlemen who left Meri-
dian on Thursday morning, and Is con-
firmed by the note Of General Maury 20
The editor Of the Mobile Register, which

To have permitted the enemy to have

sailing him With the force he had 81 bis

grave mistake, one which may entail al-

The year is now drawing TO close and we
desire to have our accounts all settled up by
the beginning of the New Year. Our friends,
indebted to us either for work or subscription
will confer q great favor by calling at once
and squaring up. The coming term of the
Circuit Court will afford an opportunity to our
Country friends for doing so, and We hope
they will call on us at that time if not before.
We also beg leave to announce to our
friends TINT in view of the great advance in
the price of paper and printing materials gen
orally, we are compelled to increase our sub
scription price. .s.r .-5a gf
We, have forLornc doing this as long as
possible, notwithstanding such has been done
by every paper in the country 20 far as we
know, and only do it now us matter of ne
cessity. The price charged the last year has
actually not paid for the paper alone, and the
slight increase we now intend making to it
will hardly do SO. In justice to ourselves
therefore VIC do as suggested. .s
Hereafter our price for subscription will be
as follows: ... ..r''-

Let i, not be supposed, however, that our
people are unmindful of, or ungrateful for
the humbest services rendered to our great
GAUGE Far from it. But SO far at least. in
this war, no general has yet won the right to
relinquish effort and to reposc upon his laurels
However green those laurels may be, they
still need the refreshing Of incessant struggle,
and ever renewed cxerticn. Grants arduous
and victorious campaign from the banks of
tho Rapidan to those of the Appomattox,
suggests to him no relaxation of his steady,
continuous, aud heavy blows upon the vital
centre of the rebellion at Richmond-a
Shermau's repose after the capture of Atlanta,
was only to refresh himself for that wonder
full march of his through the heart OF Georgia
to the Atlantic Ocean IF the maxim be true
that no day can be considered fortunate until
it is fully over--then the fame of our generals
cannot be fully assured until the war is en-
tircly closed. Our people are generous and
msgnanimous. They have done, and will
continue to discount the fame of their generals
on a very small showing, but they will exact
full payment of the whole at maturity, Doubt
less it would be better for all parties that the
need of nations praise should only be
awarded after it is fairly earned, so that there
should be no withdrawal Of it for short COM
| inrs afterward but that is not our DISPOSE
ton, and he who counts upon an honorable
place in tho history of this war, will only find
it in uufagging devotion and ineessant. un-
