Coming Back.

In a single copy Of the Nashville Union,
that for the 4th instant, e find comments on
no less than three public recantations of re
| bellion, one by d. C. Humphreys of Alabama,
another by Major T. II. Williams, of Tennes-
see, and third by Captain J. NJ Streetman,
of the Fifty-sixth Georgia regiment-all of
whom appeal in different ways to their fell
low-citizens to leave the rebellion and return
to their allegiance.
Mr.. Humphreys was a candidate for cleo
ton on the Douglas ticket in 1860, in Ala
bama he afterwards became violent rebel;
but when the Presidents Amnesty Proclama-
ton was issued, he forswore rebellion, and
took the oath to obey the laws. He now ur-
ges the people of Alabama to return to the
Union and oppose themselves, in body to
the rebellion. He tells them that the <'Con-
federacy cannot succeed and that if they
want to save themselves they must turn
against it and help put it down" With refer
ence to slavery he says:
Upon what terms may the Union be re-
stored? just as it was, save the feature of
African slavery. 1t is evident that the South
must ludhe IL uldJtIIdI tNa1lpe upon the queS-
ton before she can again live in peace with
the world. Nations more formidable in all
the elements of power than the Southern
States, have often been forced to yield to the
pressure against them, and to change their
policy. This great moral, religious question
they should meet like men, as becomes
Christian people. We should meet it openly
and boldly, and if the voice of Christendom is
against US, yield to that as the voice of God.

sticks the closer to US. We cannot shut our
selves up within the cotton States and def
antly proclaim to the world that our system
Is peculiar to ourselves, and shat it must not
be investigated"
Major T. II WILLIAMS, of Tennessee, lately
of the rebel army, spoke on the I'd instant at
Nashville to the same purpose. He said:
Many of his companions in-arms told him
when ne announced his determination to
turn home, that he was disgraced man-but
since that time some of these same fellows
had told him that they were disgraced in the
same way Near two hundred of his old regi-
ment were now in the federal service, and
more would be there"
He had been a Shareholder, but was ready
to lose his slaves rather than resign the pro-
lection of the Stars and Stripes. Some Sc

proclamation of emancipation unconstitution-
al He asked them g if they wanted the
Constitution administered IF they did they
were fools, for it would hang them and all
their friends now in the rebel ranks, if caught
for the penalty of treason is death"
The Georgia Captain urges his fellow soldiers
to leave the rebel ranks and return to their
true colors. He tells them:
1.-THE rebellion must finally fail; better
that it should do so soon and before the last
poor fellow in the ranks is sacrificed to CRAFTY
the obstinacy and pride of the rebel leaders,
who in the las- extremity can save themselves
by tying to a foreign country, which YOU

IMPROVEMENTS IN QUR CdTr.-Somc
few weeks ago we remarked about the
various improvements which were being
faadc in many portions of our city. We
can now add few more, one of which is
worthy of more than passing notice, We
mean the building now in course Of con-
'struction by Mr.. Kennedy II Butler, as
"a stealth chair and cabinet factory. The
building is to be an extensive one, and
the machinery will be of the most I'M
proved sty lie, adapted to all kinds of cab
let manufacturing. Mr.. Butler is an
energetic and valuable citizen, and de-
serving of success. which we hope he
will have abundantly. Mr.. Butler con-
templates having his fctory completed
some time during next month.
Mr.. jesse Horns is crertihg front
building to his house on Bedford street,
which will add greatly to the appearance
Of that part of the city.
Several other improvements ia the way
of new dwelling houses and the re-mod-
Cling Of old ones have been made lately
in various portions of our city. This is
what We like to see, and it is truly graft
flying to observe the onward march OF
progress now visible in our Mountain
City.
