The Lives of Union Men Threatened.
Captain Kirk, commander of company
of State Guards, stationed at jackson, Mad

since, from which tile Nashville Press and
Times makes the following extract. The
communication sets forth the sad condition
of the Union men of that section: IL
CAPT. KIRK: We are in a dangerous con-
dition. The Union men of this end of the
county are expecting to be assaulted every
night. lam especially in great danger
THE writer of the letter is staunch Repub-
lican, and has incurred the ire of the Con-
servatives on that account We have clan
of desperadoes cut threats and outlaws here
amongst US, who are backed up by the citi-
zens of the county. IF there is not some
thing done for US we shall be compelled to
leave the country. should have come to
Jackson myself before now, but my friends
advised me not to go, saying would not be-
able to get there if started They had men
to follow me to Nashville fellows who be-
long to this gang of outlaws, and their bus
mess was, doubtless, to kill rue on the way.
Captain, we want some fifty men stationed
at this end Of the county right away. The
negroes are beginning to leave here-some
go every day rather than stay here and be
cursed and whipped by these bad men. We
need more troops in the county, at least five
or six hundred men. The rebels are COM
pletely organized, and Ibelievc they intend
to make break on US sooE. The promi-
inent Union men will be sufferers.
The following is portion of Captain
Kinks letter. accompanying the above to
Gen. Cooper of the State Guards:

having very badly. No Union man black

EDITORIAL UNION.

ST. Peters was brilliant last night. 1t
was scene singularly touching, because
it celebrated pair of ideas generally
deemed incompatible-a union and a
divorce, solemnized together, yet apart,
by the organs ponderous peal, the
priest's souorous tones, the affairs many
lights, the benediction, the gentle wishes
of gratified host ascending through
smiles and interchanges Of looks full of
mesmeric softness, up to the very heavens.
A marriage. The other half of the
Pubic LEDGER-the city half, in contra
distinction to the editorial, paragraph
and general news half-was divorced
from said latter half-batcheloristically
speaking-leaving him to the consolation
of a state of existence which evil speak
ing imps of jest might not improperly
denominate grass batchelorism. Dis
union thus defined, went hand in hand
with another union, ah, so beautiful, so
tender, so full of hope, SO like our dreams
of heaven, that, to this divorced half,
standing in the midst of the new des-
olution and the multiplied darkness
it seemed, and was something more
than seeming, farewell, in whose utter
ances there was no muffied grief, in
whose parting glances there was nothing
of sorrow-the beginning Of journey
new and untried, but beautiful to enter
upon. The other half, thus triangularly
treated in the above decided alteration Of
pencil, is, speaking after the flesh, Mr.
William J. Mansford, the well known
conductor of the city department of
what one of our best friends once denom-
mated, "a by 6"-the PUBLIC LEDGER
He is too near to US, or was yesterday,
to Justify any tinted touches. Indeed,
his modesty would go down, as under an
intolerable burden. Of the other high
contracting party to the league, or union,
celebrated under the roof of St Peters
last night, we must say little-perhaps
we should seq nothing, the feeling Of jeal-
ousy stirring within this pencil, wholly
disqualifying it for the effort But this
much: What an unclouded morning in
May is to the rest of nature, she is to the
circle of friends that gather to the sweet
ness of her smiles, the gentleness of her
manner, the beautiful light OF her eyes
and the charm of her conversation. We
need not say that so important an event
will not affect the old status Of co.editor-
ship of long standing and unparalleled
agreeableness. Already this morning,
the great divorced, but happily united,
has fallen in upon us. 1t was only for
moment Casting a glance at his desk,
scrutinizing a withered rose that hung
above it-that rose may be full Of mem
ories-survsyipg his small but select
picture gallery, he shook his head,
opened the door and took bee-line for
somebody, who, no doubt, was at the win
dow looking for him.

THE IEcENnIARIRs

While Wilson and Kelly are going over
the South delivering incendisry speeches
and exciting the colored people to riot,
the Radicals are complaining that free
speech is not tolerated in our section.
Kelly, in Mobile, without any provoea-
ton that is not a common occurrence in
every section, threatened the people with
the army. That was a gross insult,
because it contained taunt that they
we're a conquered people, and possessed
no rights-hot even the natural right Of
flinging back an insult into the teeth Of
the demsgogue that offers it Did Ben

free speech was never denied at the
North; Southern natives spoke in our
academies Of music and our halls, and
Southern papers we're subscribed for and
read in all our reading rooms. Dema-
gogues would not let us understand each
other, and have cursed US with this war.

The precipitate withdrawal OF Mr..
Lawrence in the morning papers, next
day after his enthusiastic nomiqation,
only temporarily created confusion and
INDIGESTION among the opponents OF Mr.
Trimble. The gag-law practiced in the
Convention intensified the opposition.
A consultation was held last night to
consider measures of continued resist
ance. The name Of ID. II. Mason,
formerly one of the editors OF the PTsss
and Times, was proposed as new
candidate for Congress, to lead those
unwilling to accept Trimble. He &C
cepted on condition that similar feel
ing existed in the other counties Of the
district. Immediate measures will be
taken to ascertain that statement OF SEN
timent, and if favorable, Mr.. Mason will
at once theoretically take the field. In
tense opposition to Trimble exists among
the cOlored masses, many OF whom
threaten to remain from the polls if no
candidate but Trimble runs This course
would lose many votes to Brownlow,
and as both sides in the Congressional
fight espouse his cause, another candi-
date would add much to his strength.
