THE UNION SENTIMENT IN THE
SOUTH.

The action Of the real Union men of Ten
nessee, of those men who fought and labored
for the cause Of the country in the midst Of
war and in the perls of battle,
indicates the spirit of the Union
men of the South. The Union Legis
lature of Tennessee has disfranchised
the rebels by law, and they did it under the
conviction that their own safety, and the
maintainence OF the cause of the Union de-
manded that course.
The Copperheads of the North, however,
are in favor of restoring the rebels to power,
and consgning these devoted Union men,
white and black, to the tender mercies of the
rebels. The Union men there know the. fate
that awaits them when rebels get the power
again, and they are resolved to take bond and
security against that fate by excluding rebels
from the right of suffrage. They are acting
upon the counsels Of ANDREW JOHNSON before
his installation as President of the United
States, and while he was exposed to a com.
mon fate with his fellow citizens of Tennes-
see. declared as his policy that ''loyal men,
aloGe, whether white or black, should control
her destinies.'
But the Copperheads of the North array
themselves in solid phalanx against the tried
Union men Of Tennessee, and condemn their
sentiments and the policy inaugurated there
by ANDREW JOHNSON. These Copperheads
of the North sympathise with the rebels of
the South, whose sentiments and policy are
ola5b NV IN ofb l,rb-
ed elsewhere in our columns, and who gives
fair warning to Union men that when the
rebels get into power, they must scamper
and '.let the devil take the hindmost. y
The Union men of the South who stood by
the Union during the war, understand the
spirit of the rebels better than we do, and
they dread the consequences Of their return
to power more than we can. They believe
that WISE but expresses the general feeling
and the universal purpose of the rebels in his
covert intimatons, and that the phrase "Old
Virginia is not at home now,' implies that
the rebels hold that all that has been done by
the Rebel States since the close of the war,
has been done under duress or by usurpation,
and will be repudiated by the people of those
States, when the rebel people are restored to
power and freed from military surveillance.
Then Virginia and all the rest of the Rebel
States will be sat home again" and ''the
devil may take the hindmosti Union man
who dares to linger on the sacred soil.
But the rebels of Tennessee are not going
to wait till Old Virginia gets home, they are
going to wreak their vengeance in fire and
fagot at once. Hear the Ardianche, of Mem
phis, the organ and instigator of the rebel
miscreants who applied 'fre and fagot' to
the dwellings, and cold steel and lead to the
bodies of the coored men, women and chill
dren Of that city. l. says:
"The Radicals have done their worst; sue
ceeded in branding overwhelming major
ity Of their fellow citizens, and for the future
let the watchword be hate and scorn-.fre
and .fdggot for the unprinclpled usurpers who
have inflicted this monstrous outrage upon a
defenseless people

WASHINGTON, May II

WASHINGTUN, May IT.
Among the important questions to be de-
cided by the Board of Managers of Natoanal
Asylums for disabled soldiers, are the number
of asylums to be established, and where to be
located, what kind of buildings shall be erec-
ted, what officers shall be appointed and what
their duties shall be. Secretary Stanton is
of the opinion that the unreclaimed and for
feited pay of the army, which now belongs
to this asylum, amounts to nearly $6,OOO,-
600. The Commissioner of Internal Reye-
nue. decides that claim agent is one whose
business it is to prosecute claims in any Of
the Executive Departments of the Govern
ment, and to procure patents, and that per.
son who prosecutes said claim gratuitiously
cannot be said to make the prosecution Of
claims his busina ass, and need not take out .
license as a claim agent.
