How Tennessee Rebels Treat the Fam
lilies OF COlored Soldiers.

The Nashville Times relates the TO-.
lowing:
A recital of the wrongs daily inflicted
upon the wives and children Of colored
soldiers in Tennessee is enough to make
humane man weep tears of blood.
Rebels who are living under the amnesty
proclamation rebels whose crimes
against the State have Justly forfeited
their property and thsir worthless necks
appear TO take fendish delight in abusing
the wives and children of those noble
colored men who have enlisted to 6ght
for a Government from which they have
heretofore received only injustice ]

many.
In 1871, Ira Hardison, who resides in
Maury county, ten miles east Of Colnm.
bia, bought a man named Wilson, aud
from 1871 to 1868, period of twenty,
two years Wilson worked faithfully fol
Harrison without compensation. Nc

and every officer in the regiment can
bear testimony to the inwlligence, hon.
esty and good conduct Of Sergt Wilson.
But ever since his enlistment, his wife
and children, left in Hardison's hands,
have been cruelty tormented.
A son was driven TO work last winter
and spring without shoes and almost
naked, until he was ready to drop into
the grave. A daughter was knocked
down last Sabbath week, kicked and
stamped by the rebel brute until her life
was almost despaired of The old sconn-
drel taunts the mother and children con.
tiually about their husband and father
being a soldier. As Wilson is a very in
telligent Christian imam, be feels thess
wrongs keenly, and asks whether the
Government for which he has taken W
arms has no means of redress.

GuerrIllas In Greensboro.

The 0wensboro Monitor Of Wednes
day says:
The guerrillas have come at lastl
come and gone, and nobody hurt, nor
very badly scared. There are no State
or United States troops here at this
time, and our "citizen soldiery" who
have so eften stood guard when guer-
rillas were said to be on the move in this
direction, have been s'caught mapping
Last night, about one o'clock, about
twenty-five guerrillas came into town,
without producing any excitement or
disturbing the SAUNDERS Of our people,
who slept as quietly as if a regiment OF
soldiers guarded the approaches to town,
or our redonbtable Home Guard were
wide awake and on the vigilaut look out
The rebels went to the Court House and
took therefrom lot of muskets and &C.
coutrements, supposed TO be sixty or
sixty-fve in number After which, they
quietly departed, disturbing no family,
entering no store, and not even sustain
ing their worldwide reputation of ex-
p9ring private and livery stables. We
shoId not even have known that they
had taen in our midst but for the fact
that theSwere seen by several persons
Among ne spectators of their opera

even call on Sandy for lrink of pror

KENTUCKY AND ISpIANA.-Gov. Bran
lette has written the following letter to
Gov. Morton, thanking him for the
prompt assistance rendered by Indiana
in aiding the expulsion of Morgan from
our State:
CoMNoSwEALrH OF KY, EXECUTIVE DEP'T,
FRASKFoRr, June Esd, 1854.
Cor. o. p Norton, Indianapolis, Ind (:
DEAR SIR: / return You my most
grateful thanks for your prompt assist
ance during Morgan's recent raid. The
timely arrival of the 4Sd regiment Indi-
ana volunteers gave Us entire relief
against all apprehension of danger. Al
though the citizens had repulsed the reb-
els. yet the large numbers still infesting
this section at the time of their arrival
kept as upon constant vigil and serious
apprehension of another assault
The patriotism and kindly feeling
which prompted the gallant veterans Of
the 4Sd to rush to our relief without de-
laying, after their long and arduous la
bors,. to even greet their families, de-
serves the highest commendstion from
their couutrymen, and will ever SOM
mand from US of Kentucky the profoun-
dest gratitude of our hearts.
The appearance of Vallandigham in
Ohio, simultaneously with Morgan's raid
in Kentucky, fully confirms the matters
made known to me, through Gen. Lind
sey, by you.

don paper thus describes the new Allan
tic telegraph cable:
The conductor is a copper strand, con-
sisting of seven wires, six laid round
one, and weighing 300ibs. per nautical
mile, embedded for sohdity in Chatter
tons compound The insulater in the
old cable was gutta pereha laid on in
three coverings, and weighing z6lb. per
knot; in the new it is gutta percha, four
layers Of which are laid on alternately
with four thin layers of Chattertons
compound The weight of the entire
insulation is 300lb. per nautical mile.
Ten solid wires of the gauge 695 (No
l3 gauge) were drawn from Webster L
HorsfalPs homogeneous iron, each wire
surrounded separately with FIVE strands
of Manila yarn, saturated with pre-
seryasive compound, and the whole laid
spirally around the core, which latter is
padded with ordinary hemp, saturated
with preservative mixture. The weight
in air OF the old cable was 20 cwt per
nautical mile; and of the new $50 cwt.
per nautical mile. Weight in water of
the old cable 1874 cwt per nautical mile,
or equal to T. IS times its weight in wa
ter per knot; that is to say, it would bear
its own weight in little less than Eve
miles Of depth Of water; Of the new II
cwt per nautical mile, or equalto eleven
times its weight in water per knot; that
is to say, it will bear its own weight in
eleven miles depth of water. Breaking
strain in the old cable, 3 tons cwt; in
the new, Z tons Is cwt. The deepest
water in both cases to be encountered is
2400 fathams. The contract strain of
the old cable was equal to 4 IS times its
weight per nautical mile in the water;
the contract strain of the new is equal
to eleven times its weight per nautical
mile in water.
It will be thus seen that great i'm
proyements have been made in the new
cable. The various processes of manu-
| facture were watched with much interest
by gentlemen invited to be present, from
the tearing up of the raw material, its
progress through the boiling house, the
masticstors, and so on, until il comes to
be applied to the wires, and after going
through series Of coatings, is passed on
to be examined and tested The test il
500 pounds to the square inch, and the
cable is manufactured in lengths Of
$500 yards, which are joined together
when completed by splice similar tC
that used in joining fishing rods. The
splice having been effected there are two
coatings of wire overlapped which are
coated with gutta percha to the size o.
the cable. After passing through al
these various processes the cable is ther
sent down to Greenwich, where, at th,
works of the Company Gate Glass 3

Holhs's band was at Sacramento and in
that region, man of well-known loyal
proclivities, who had reason to fear the
knights OF the Bush" to defeat them in
any raid they might make upon him,
carefully hid his Sunday clothes and his
watch, tied up in a rag, amid the dense
foliage of an apple tree in his orchard,
some distance from the house. The
guerrillas on going to bis house and not
finding him at home, made bee line
for the apple tree, and found and con-
fscated his hidden treasures Return
ing to the house they charged great
cdrslessness upon him, telling his aston
ished wife that if her husband had taken
proper care of his watch and clothes,
keeping them in his house, they would
not have been disturbed; but as he care
lessly left them "laying around loose"
they would be constrained to take care
of them for him, and so departed. How
they learned the clothes were in the ae-
pie tree remains mystery Greensboro
