Ringing Union Ven In TexaS-An u
written Chapter in the History OF
the Rebellion.
From the Chicago J0rrnsl
In 1884, Mr. Henry X. Maple. brother
OF I. Maple, of this city, moved from
Fulton county, Ills, to Western Texas
with his family, consisting ot wife
and one child-a daughter-theu about
SIX years old. Until the brea king out
Of the rebellion q regular corrtsUoa-
dence had been kept up between tie
brothers, bu, after that period no word
was received from Henry A few davs
ago his daughter arrived in Chicago
with the distressing intelligence that
her father had been hung bv the rebels.
IN the lali Of 1862, FOR his urcCmrro-
missing Union sentiments. lie was Il
the time OF his murder living in West
county. His wife died soon after he
went 20 Texas, and he married tho
daughter Of o worthy citizen Of that
county, with whom be WAS living when
tho war broke out Being q popular
Baptist preacher, he was watched and
when the war became moro earnest on
the part Of the Union, the rebels would
DO longer tolerate even sympatiizer
with the Union, snd he, with thirteen
others Of his Union noighbors, were ar
rested Nithiua few weeks OF each
other, they were tried by mock court
martial, condemned and hung
A tLc time Of his arrest he was try
ms to escape to the Union lines, but
was betrayed by his rebel father-in-
law, whose name is Samuel Sheets, and
who was q general intormer against
Union men. This man Sheets has since
been driven from the country, his life
being threatened, and his fear of death
SO great that he had to keep a guard
about his house. When ne left he was
guarded by rebel soldiers for more than
a hundred miles Naples wife, who
was good Union woman. stood bv him

When he was under sentence OF
death, his daughter, then about fifteen
years old, was allowed to visit him ct

The thr0es which agitcte the State
Tell Of stern. heroic strife
The struggle OF humanity
To reach more exalted lie.
Customs, whose blight has banned the earth,

And heroes, and not merely men,
Are wanted IN the strife today.
Heroes, whose faith. sublime and clear,

Correspondence or the Nashville Union


Liquor Sales and Government Quarters
I was sorry to hear it whispered, as
passed down street on Friday. evening
that the restrictions on the sale of
spirituous liquors had been modified
as to admit of more free sale. I
met several drunken men on Saturday
ovening-one fell on the street-others
came near getting into a serious row.
There arc so many people in Nashville
that comfort is barely possible when all
are quiet and sober But there are
many here who love to give free swing
to their appetites, and if permitted,
they VIII do 50 to the annoyance of the
whole city.
Besides, there are thousands Of young
men here who are disposed 10 be tenn
perate, who may, if surrounded by
drunken associates, be ruined trust
the authorities viii reconsider their ae-
ton in regard TO this matter
Another word The Quarters furn-
ished to some Of our carpenters and Ia
borers are not sufficient for the number
Of men assigned to them They are
too much crowded. The emanations
from 50 many contiguous bodies and
lungs befoul the air and breed pesti-
lence Can we not here find the reason
why so many are sick ?
It would be more healthful sleeping
out OF doors under the bending blue,
than where tho air which ought to
purify tho blood and inyigorate the
body, bat corrupts the one, and debili-
tates the other. As It is, many who
would labor patiently and faithfully for
months, could they have pure air to
breathe at night, get sick and 90 home
in q few days or weeks. Who is re
sponsibIe?
In the present state Of things it is ne
cessary to economic space, yet, it is no
advantage to the government to 50
quarter men in its employ, that, per
consequence, they shall either DO un-
well and partially unfit for duty, or
sick and totally unfit. Would not
economy suggest the providing Of am
pie quarters at once2
