we had anticipated, At Loudon we fell
into the hands of Maj Gen. Gordon Grain
ger, who was so kind as to detain the train
until we could get our baggage over the
river, in all ten trunks The General is q
ladys man, and with all, il q fighting Gen
rai, bravcand generous, and popular among
the soldiers, ms he is among the citizens
We have had no bad luck, save at War
trace In the early part of the night the
rear car, IN which our party were seated
very comfortably, run of Of the track by
the rear trucks becoming detached, and we
went bouncing and jolting for about one
hundred yards, moro alarmed than hurt.
Two years ago this week came down this
same railroad, my last trip until now, but
under very different circumstances, ] was
n prisoner, guarded by rebel bayonets, and
called for at every depot by malicious and
blackguard partizaus Of the rebellion The
cry usually was, bring ont the id old
Traitor, and let US hang him on limb -
These scoundrcls were not in attendance Al
the depots as ] came on this time-somc Of
them had fed the country, and others had
gone the way Of all the earth
was met by T. different class Of men on
this trip, and in different spirit, | was Ia
ken by the hand most cordially, congratu-
lated, and occasionally called on for speech,
but had 10 decline on account Of my ieblc
health The vile wretches, and unprnciplcd
traitors, who thronged the dcpots and sta
tons, rejoicing over my Punishment, have
ingoriously fed from their homes, and are
now outcasts from civilized society
At Wartracc, some fifty miles from here,
Hon, NJ p, Gentry, late 4 member Of the
rebel Congress, came on the cars and most
Of the distance sat in the seat with me- He
declined talking upon the subject of the re-
bclion--said he was going to Nashville to
report himself rs 4 prisoner lie said he
never had endorsed the right Of any State
to sec.de--ho never had sanctioned the
principle and never could Tine and tho
troubles of the rebellion, have told upon
COT Gentry, and he is as grey as Nor
