NASHVILLE, July End, 1865.

CAPT. GEO. E. GRIsHAM.-Edaor
Union Fdg:-DEAR SIR-Gen'l. Jas.
P. Brownlow's Report of Tennessee
Troops has just made it's appearance.
1t is q book Of sever hundred pages,
printed on tolerably good paper, and
handsomely bound. 1t is principally
composed of the material parts of the
Muster-out Rolls, with a few remarks
concerning the organization and op.
erations of the regiments appended
TO the rolls of each. The work in
many respects is incomplete, on &C
count of which Genl. Brownlow has
determined TO issue another volume,
which will contain a short history Of
the military services Of each officer,
or of as many as can be obtained. In
order TO facilitate the work and make
IL perfect and complete every man
who had the honor to receive q com.
mission in a Tennessee Regiment or
Battery should, with as little delay %
possible, mako out and forward 10 the
Adjutant General Of the State q full
and complete history Of bis services
during the war, giving also, the time
and place Of his birth, and former oc.
cupationj place Of residence at the
commencement Of the war and now.
Please urge on officers the impor.
lance Of this matter through the col.
umns of the Flag and az every truly
loyal man must feel q deep interest
in placing on record the names and
deeds Of the patriots, who at their
country's call left their homes and
families To serve on the heId Of battlo,
I feel assured that the request viii DO
promptly responded to.
The Report which has Just been r..
sued will be sent TO thelCountys.Court
Clerks 10 DO filed IN their Offices.
Yours Truly.

WASHINGTON CoUSTY.-The editor Of thu
Bristol NstUs says Of his visit to JOneSborO'
last week:
1--WE were pleased to see the good feeling
existing in the Masonic Lodge among the
members composing il. 1t has done much
silently and quietly, to harmoniEe and tran
qualize the diScOrdAnt elements produced by
the late war;:
1.-THE sentiment Of the peOple-both radi-
cal and conservative.-as expressed TO us or
in our hearing, were for the s~trictest enforce
ment Of Jaw and order"

- In the height mosquito time the little
raSeslS praetieed their songs rightly, 70 the
sanoysaee Of sVsry one. While q little girl
Elite, about Eve JsarS old, was being pat TO
bed, her mother said 70 hsri you must
alWsyS be = good girl, and then At night
when you are asleep, the angels will cone
and sing, and vsteh round your bed" " Oh,

them singing aii around ny head last night

"A person who has recently visited the
Shenandoah Valley, says 1t is wondrouS to
see the 'profGslOn of cattle and poultry in
this " denuded" valley, after the devastation
it was sald to have suffered. Except the ABB
sence of fences in ZONE places, now and
then a forti6cation, or n burned barn, no one
would suppose an army had been in the
valley.

The War in Europe.

Prussia and Italy formerly declared war
against Austria. On the 18th Of Of June the
Prussians entered Dresden. The King of
Ssxony is Withdrawing into Bohemia. His
army has effected a junction with the Aus
TRANS. Diplomatic relations are broken be-
tween Prussia and BavAr ia, and the PruS-
SLAMS occupy Hanover and threaten Frankfort.
An engagement took place between the PruS-
slams and AuStriAnS near Frankfort and a
regiment Of the latter were almost anniki-
lated. AustriAnS are hourly expected in
Saxony.
A battle 10 expected near Frankfort, be-
fore which there are assembled from thirty
to 6hy thousand Federal troops. The Fed
sral plan Of operations is said to be for the
re.conques. ofHolstein. The AuStriAnS COM
menced hostilitieB on the 18th BY crossing
the SilesiAn frontier at Outlaw and firing on
the PuSsiAnS. The latter have not crossed the
Austrian frontier, but reports say they are
pushing towards Bohemia. Twenty thou
sand PrussiAnS occupied Mocbern, two
miles from LeibSie and subsequently the
wsrSeE and RieSs railroad.
The British Ministry WAS defeated on an
~amendmsst 10 the reform bill, which was
carried against the Government By eleven
majority.

The following communication should have
appeared in our last issue, but was inadVert-
emily mislaid:
Fr De Eat Tennessee UAiOs Flag.
CAPT. GRsHAN: IL noticed a short time
since a communication in your paper Of the
closing exercises OfLaurel Hill Academy, and
we as citizens of Jonesboro' enjoyed on the
End ult. a rich intellectual feast in the closing
exercises Of the Male School under the care
of Rev. I'D. Tadlock. 1t makes my heart feel
warm, and the memory bells ring sweetly in
my ear, Ginning out the melody Of by-gone
days, and filing my soul with the music Of
times when you and I were boys together in
the old Academy on the hill.
It we're almost vain for me to attempt to
say which one Of the speakers acquitted him
self nest, as all did well, but ! think VANITY
Of Pride " was rendered with more Of feeling
and oratorical patbos than any other piere Of
declamation-in fact ! doubt whether 1t can
be eIcelled in the college halls Of any State.
The Modern Philosopher, Vanity Of Human
Grandeur, Miribeau, Liberty and Union, Ma
tons of Antiquity, Stability of Character,
Close Of School and the use Of Tobacco, must
all com in for a share Of Recommendation. Me-
thinks that every one present on Thursday
evening must be wide awake to the necessity
of our having a frst class Male College in our
town; already l hear Of some who cOntem-
plate sending their sons North to School in
the Fall. Why the necessity Of thiSI It's
quite true that the war has demorallEed Us
financially as well as otherwise, but Rome
was not built in a day, " andlWs can even now
make a small beginning in the way Of build
ing or repairing a suitable School house for
the young men and boys in our midst.
Those who attended the examination on
Thursday testify that 1t was most thorough,
highly crsditAb!e to both teacher and pupils.

FENIAN FOLLY.

Last Thursday an attempt was made by
fenians to take Canada. They gathered, on
the border, near Buffalo, crossed over and
took Fort Erie and, on Friday night, moved
out to Stevenson. On Saturday morning they
were attacked by the British forces. The
fight lasted two hours and resulted in the de-
feat of the invaders. They aftsrward rallied
and moved back to Fort Erie, attacked the
garrison, and captured about 100 prisoners.
About three o'clock ON Sunday morning, the
fenians embarked on scows, and attempted
to return to Buffalo. When about half way
across the river they were captured by a
United States gunboat, and now remain In
custody, to the number of about six hundred
The fenian loss in the two fights is supposed
to be about so in killed and wounded, and 40
taken prisoners by the British.
The balance of their party, said to number
1000 to 5000, are unaccounted for.
The affair has terminated as every sensible
man supposed it would--in disastrous and
oiseraceful failure.

Tho Worcester Palladium (repu blican)
says There seems to have been a most unfor-
tunats delay by congress) in devising and
presenting e. scheme Tor the restoration OF the
Union. We are nation OF workers, ardent
and enthusiastic and not content to follow
the old-world ways Of doing things. II we
have war, soon as the fight Is over, we
want to settle up,' square accounts and
begin TO trade again with our enemy, tor the
mutual advantage of each. That is the
spirit OF the American people; and it cannot
be ignored. Keeping in view this temper OF
the people, and remem boring that the con-
gressional elections are Immediately before
US, congressman, and all, would DO well to
come together in spirit of Cancellation and
harmony, and devise some plan for the
speedy adjustments of this great question of
the restoration of the Union"
