Condition OF Freedmen IN Tennessee.
Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune.1
MuREEEEssoao, Tenn.,, Feb. II, 1865.
Though now absent from Nashville. yet be-
ginning where I left off in my last, must
first speak Of the colored schools ut Nash
Vile. >
In September, 1868, Rey.J g. Mckee, Of
the United Presbyterian Church, commcnced
the first freedman's school. In April, 1861,
the Tennessee Freedmcn's Aid Society begun
their work there. The Northwestern Freed
mems Commission and some other societies
are now on the ground also; all doing good
work. So that there are now in and about
Nashville twenty teachers Of the blacks, and
about IT, 100 pupils under Instruction. These
all were, till lately, locked up in Ignorance
by slavery. The anxiety shown by parents
to have their children educated is very en-
couraging, and the general progress OF the
pupils Is good. Rev. ". F. Baird, Army
Agent Of the American Bible Society, has
just come to Nashville, and rejoice to be
able to say is now ofIcringa Testament to
every friedman, woman and child when they
can read it. As we tell the large schools of
tlis their eyes sparkle with interest, and
hands 60 up indicative Of determination to
try to learn. Soon they will be reading
people, with Gods word In their hands.
What hath the Lord wrought!

About 2, ,ooo freedmen IN the city two col
ored schools in the two churches

800 scholars. The scholars are making good
progress. Some that have been to school

result Is. that most Of this people are self

WHITE REFUGEES
These arc very numerous about here, and
very idle and degraded. The Post Chaplain
here told, me " There is no st up about
with nothing, and no desire to be or. to do
anything" The county has been heavily
taxed to constitute white refugee fund
also much 1ncney has been sent for this
fund from the benevolent Of the North and

with what here find, The question Is not
"what shall We do With tile blacks" the

Mr.. Lincoln Tells another Little story
lXnahfnetQa Coz Cincinnati CQmmarcfaLl

Washington Cor. Cincinnati Coumsrcial.]
A distinguished gentleman from Illinois,
who figured somewhat extensively In the re-
cent peace movement, tells OF IN Inter-
view the Hon. Aleck Long had with the
President: After pleasant chat, and as they
wereahont to leave, Mr. Long undertook to
express his personal good will for .hs Presi-
dent, and assured him that what he said Of
him In his speech last winter was only con
corning his political deeds. The President
thanked him for his kind feelings, and said
he couldn't express bis feelings better than
by telling Of story told by d distinguished
politician Of his State, Judge Edwards, who,
in IN exciting political mpaign, held discus
sions with his opponent. Afier thecampaign
had ended. the Judges opponent explained
to him that oil the harsh things be had said
of him we're not pc, sonat at oil, but that he
had been obliged to nse them in his discns-
sions, to make the host OF them. The Judge
thanked him for his explanation, bnt assured
him that he was ignorant that anything bad
had ever been said Of him.
hr. Long was crushed, but Gays that the
President, In his bleness Of heart. came to
bis rescue in this wise: Snow, Mr. Long,"
said Abraham, I do not apply this story to
you literally, but say that both my friends
and enemies on the hill say great many
things Of me both good aud bad, but really
don't believe them.s

The Final Campaign.
All the 81 gns Of tho times combine to show
that the present is the final campaign against
tie great REBELLION. The success Of our armies
and naviea, the spirit Of oqneo!dicre, tsa opin
ions Of our officers, the drE!ons, demora!lza-
tion and financial difficulties Of the enemy,
assure us that The triumph OF justice, liberty.
and peace is at hand.
Every effort should now be directed to pre-
Fare cur armies for thclast desperate struggle;
Ter the rebellion will die, IS Ii has lived, IN
blood. Especially should those noble pstriots
who shall be call led to offer their blood On the
altar Of liberty, be prepared, so far as We can
prepare them, for this solemn service, by
Christian instruction and earnest prayer. And
when they fall, every succor that the lore OF
Christ and Of country can afford, should bo at
hand for their relief; nor should any soldier
be elloWed to die Without having the hope Of
eternal 1ff;s through our Lord Jesus Christ
l"E mercy In hts name. This duty the dele.
gates Of the Christian Commission perform.
In one hundred aud faety cl,lpel tents our
soldiers now assemble daily to read the pub
1ications furnished by the Commission, or to
write letters to loved ones at home, and
every night IN the week, and three times on
Sabbath, most Of them being crowded with
ask prayer, and profess their design to lead
Christian lives. Sixty additional tents are
urgently demanded. The leading preachers
OF our cities are offering their services, and
with one voice attest the presence Of the
split of God in these assemblies.
The spring campaign has already opened.
The delegates Of the Commission arc even
now nursing the wounded from DabneY'a
hill and Halcher's Run and at apy moment
we must be prepared for q geuerll engngc-
ment, ard an outlay of hundred thousand
de1lefs for battlefield stores.
r. IN this emergency the treasury Is empty.
Ahe Christian Commission has no funds ID
bank, no Investments Of capital Its only re-
liance has ever been faith IN God and in Gods
Te,ple. This is G0tl's work He will pro-
vide the means for it. Every Christian IL His
agent. To such re now appeal for Immediate
htip.
win every returned delegate at once up
ity, tell what he has seen and heard in the
army, and receive and forward the offerings
Of Christian patriotism?
To the Ladies' Aid Societies and Christian
Commissions we confidently appeal, that they
Immediately set about soliciting Individual
subj 1Eu NJ frt m their friends, and, without
waiting to make up large sums, forward them
US inst as received. Mother, wife, would you
wish your loved one to die on the field, with
ont any to receive bis last message for You, or
to knetl beside him and offer prayer for his
departing soul?
Will ministers unite In holding Christian
Commission meetings In their respective
towns, without waiting for the visits OF
ag nte, and allow every member Of their con-
gIegattons the privilege Of contributing to
this noble work?
Forward the amount as socn as possible to
the most convenient Branch Of the Christian
Commission or to the Treasurer, s. 2. Far
