Jijr arc Our IrlMer Hetnliied, tAn i U)ii Ik ICrapOimlMe T Thousands of misguided, deluded and ignorant Tennesseans, captured in arms against the Government, by tlio Federal forces, are now held as military prison ers in the North. The prisoners them selves all say that they arc treated with great kindness and tenderness, and wilh a humanity far different from the gross brutality exhibited to loyal men who arc prisoners in the South. .Yet still in spite of the ungrateful requital made by the llibels for Federal clemency, l'resident Lincoln exhibits a lofty magnanimity, as admirable as it is rare. No amount of petty malice or vindictivenees Seems to drive him into the semblance of re taliation. YVe hare even said that nis humanity was stretched too far, and that, prisoners were often turned loose who ehould have been detained in confine ment. YVe. say then, that if tbc petition cf loyal Tennesseans for the release of the Itcbel prisoners of this State cannot be granted by the l'resident, and our erring Kinsmen are still detained far from home in the hands of an outraged, yet noble and magnanimous and for bearing Government, the vhole rcymsi lility of their detention lies on the, lead of Jejf. Davis, (he ArrJi Conspirator of the Tid'dlion. YVe repeat that the Rebel Government ot liichnumd is nhne chargeable with tie (Mention f the Tennessee, prisoners held I'j the Federal Government. This matter should be fully understood by oil. YVe want Tennesscans to know that Jeff Davis, the pretended friend of the Rouh Jeff. Davis who called on the men of this section to rush forward and bare their bosoms tomnsket-shot, can non and bayonet, that he might be shel tered from public justice and supported in power Jeff. Davis, who seduced thousands of men from pkasant and happy homes toil, and pino and per ish amid the hardships and ligors of war Jell'. Davin, who has sacrificed more valuable lives for his own aggran dizement than auy man living, and filled the land with widows and orphans and bereaved parents Jeff. Davis, this moral monster, this shedder of innocent blood, this human butcher, this scourge of man kind, traitor to Lis country, and reproach to the human race, is the very man who r.ow stands at tin door of the prison house, and drives back the Tennessee prisoners into confinement. How is this ? i YVe will explain how. In utter disre gard and contempt of not only the rules of warfare, but of the laws of God, Jeff Davis, in a hde proclamation, declares all released llthl prisoner absolved from their parole of honor, and forces litem by his Conscript hill, originated and urged by him self, in'o the Confederate ranis again! This is the statement of the Richmond papers, and they defend the villainous deed. Ho bus attempted" to abrogate the awful solemnity of an oath before God by a proclamation! He declares from his blood-cemented throne in Kiehnioiid that the edicts of the Almighty nre null and void! He reviews and seta aside t ho decisions of the high court of llcii ten with as little scruplo as the Supreme Court would set aside the decision of the lowest judicatory ! He nullifies not only tlyi laws of his country, but those of Iho'imniscient, the Omnipotent and the Fternal! The cheek turns pale and the heart shudders at this horrid ful mination of folly and blasphemy from a pigmy who brandishes his sword of rushes and challenges the Thunderer of Olympus t n trial of arms. The reason of this is, that feeling the throne totter . jng find linking beneath lim, nnd th&t lie is " 111 l.lo.nl cTJ"i S" -'""'l'' "--.l'.' !!' Mi'.':'-', JMuiuinJ I "R I'iIIdiih I, j,-o uVr," he plays a gamo of desperation, and "stakes his life upon the cast." He U fully resolved that the. Federal Govern ment shall make no friends by the ex ercise of lenity to Kebel prisoners if he can help it, and so he acta bo as to com pel it to withhold its piisoners to pre vent them from being drafted again in to the Ilcbel army as soon as they arc released. He first alsJi'ts the prisoners Jn m ' their parole of honor, md then he imprtsses Vifrn into V 1111 t$vi t. And now, if tho ifToit'at present being made by Governor Cam run., by Hon. JifiUAX Stouts, and hundreds of other loyal Tennesscans, to procure the release and restoration of the Tennessee prison ers shall prove fruitless, the whole re sponsibility of the failure will rest on Jefl. Davis, win, by his acts, has made such release unsafe for the Government. YVe ask all who have sympathized with the rebellion on account of their devo tion to the welfare of the South, to con sider a moment the cruelty and utter selfishness of the tyrant who is the au thor, leader and embodiment of this Rebellion. YVhat cares he for the lan guishing tenants of a prison, who offer ed to shed their blood upon the field of battle that he might be l'resident or despot of a Southern Confederacy'.'' YVhat cares he for the tears, and sighs and anguish of their friends, who look vainly for their coming? Nothing, ab solutely nothing. And is this inhuman monster, this modern Nero, a god fit for Southern idolatry? remain Aect of I he Itrbellioii. A ludicrous incident took place a few days ago at the l'rovost Marshal's Head quarters. Four rebel ladies called to see Col. Matthews. Across tho walk and bet ween the outer gate and the house a large national flag is suspended. Two of the ladies passed under it btit the other two vowed in animated tones that they would not bow their heads to that " filthy Lincoln rag." AY hen the party was about to leave, the t wo who had gone into the Provost's room passed out of the gate, but the other two were stop ped by the guard. " What do you mean, Sir! Let us out instantly !" exclaimed one of the stiff-necked rebels sharply. "Not a step," said the guard, "you wan tonly insulted that flag which we arc here to defend, and you can't leave this place without permission of the l'rovost." The ladies whirled round in a furious rage, making a brilliant exhibition of garters and other unmentionable things, to the eyes of the guard, and. .went back under the. flag to see Col. Matthews. Ladies have a peculiarly nervous twitchibility in their gait when much excited, and so one of the fair ones caught her heel in her hoops, and in extricating herself got the other foot into tife same trap and whirled head foremost, and feet flying upwards, into the soft blue grass which waves in tho shady yard like the sea-gn-cn plumage of a r.ird-of.l'nradise. The goddess of Modesty who suckled us at her soft bosom io tender infancy and whose foster child we have ever been, Jiero bids us draw a thick veil "impenetrable to mortal eyes," over what poor Peeping Tom of Coventry sought to behold when tho noble Lady Godiva rode through the streets of that ancient city on her milk-white-steed. YVe obey her sacred com mand and content ourselves with quoting the well knowl'nes of Tom Moore, which tell how poor lithe while walking one night across the sky stumbled against a star "Anil nil d'k li' it of i')i Sa.v ilio-o inx'.inuit lii'.iutli-n Miifc 1 11 Injun if 1" i-llmua nl on jj I lie n.tirt! i .el.

' YVe will notice the next cast; that turns ' It is amusing to see tho cringing, fawning duplicity and hypocrisy daily exhibited in the Governor's oflico by the Kebels. The she rebels are the more contemptible of the two. They are as destitute of nobleness and courage as they are of truth and decency. Several Rebel prisoners, from Southern Kentucky, members of the notorious "NigM-Hawk Association" aad llai&U of tho (ioldcn Circle, are now in this city. One of them, Jack Fisher, of llopkinsville, is a hardened and desper ate villain. We hope the authorities will hold them closely. The Richmond Dnaiiiur says : The Northern papers give a great many anecdotes of personal daring among their soldiers. Some of them are, doubtless, regular Munchausen, and the others are exaggerated; but there is truth enough in few of them to make us wonder what our poopla are about. The Yan kees have impudence and conning, aud relying upon these, they w ill undertake ventures that bold men would shrink from. That will do for beginning. It quite a climbing down. , is ' Long IJoruinriU. YVe receive every day requests from gen tlemen to publish valuable and lengthy public documents. If we complied with one-half these requests every inch of our pajcr would be crowded. Our space is too limited to allow 113 to make the Union what it ought to be, a full chronicle of the momentous movements and events now going on in Tennessee, and if wc arc required to compress the mult urn of history into the parvo of our dimensions, our case will be as deserving of coruniis Bcralion as that of poor Darby who was told by his doctor he would certainly die unless ho swallowed a quart of bone-set tea. "Oh doctor' cried poor Darby in anguish, " don't hold but a pint ! " Ilurn Your Cotton. MKMrins, April "7. The follow ing ad dress has been issued: tlo Planters South : The casualties of war have opened the Mississippi to our enemies. The time has therefore come to test the earnest ness of all classes; and! call upon all patriotic planters owning cotton in the possible reach of our enemies, to apply the torch to it without hesitation or de lay. G. T. Bkaurkcjardj Brigadier Daniel Donelson, do you hear? Call Cuffy, Dinah, Sambo, Topsy and Aunt Milly and tell each of them to place a lighted torch to your cotton bales to keep it from the hands of the Yan kees! A gallant Southerner would scorn to touch Lincoln gold in exchange for it. 01), we forgot, General ! You Bold your crop the other day, wc believe. Beg your pardon, sir ! lu Ansulali. The Atlanta Confederacy of the fourth says: " Indications point strongly loo battle coming off at Corinth at ah early day, which for magnitude, of the forces engaged will eclipse any that ever trans pired in America. Our judgment is that the Yankees have nearly loO.UOO men. Beauregard is well nigh Hanked on all sides. He has an immense army, but not so large as that of the enemy. It were idle to conceal the tact; we have some fears for the result. There is such a thing as being utterly overwhelmed with numbers against which wc can pro vide no remedy." I'orwulil nj; He ISeliel mine. The Gonllicvn wind aro ladon with rumors of desertions from the rebel army, of whole companies and regiments re fusing to continue in the unholy tight. The New Orleans Bell' says that on the approach of Commodore Jarragut to Fort Jackson, .".00 men mutinied and marched off to the enemy from the fort. Four Louisiana regiments threw down their arms recently at Corinth and refus ed to serve any longer. The soldiers all sec that they have been grossly deceived by their officers, who have been holding them together by all sorts of lies. The Ten nesseeans have got no pay for more than eight months aiyl many of the troops have got nothing but their clothes since entering the Confederate service. There will bo a general mutiny in tho ranks apparently in a short time. A Southern traitor to his country is bad enough, but who can paint black enough the hue of the Northern villain, like Yallandigham, and others, who are doing all they can to paralyze the coun try's strength, and aid and encourage tho Rebels? One Northern rebel is more to bo dreaded than a score of Southern Rebels, and we wonder at the forbearance which spares the lives of these industrious allies of treason. Tru ly good men and loyal have need to be vigilant, for the foes of freed nn are lc"iou. The torpedoes at Yorktown were con structed by General Rains, who goes among the rebel soldiers by the &lrijio't of " Sister Rains," on account of his de votion to the doctrines of Free Love and Spiritualism. So il seems thatSecessionism, like wild A hot i 1 in fanaticism, breeds mental maggots. 07 Jefferson Davis, President of the Southern Confederacy, is the son of a horse-thief, who once lived in the town of Fairview, Todd county, Kentucky, some fifty miles from this city. He is said to bo a ba.tt.ftrd. And he is the Lead of a bastard Confederacy. Pit is common among conservatives to say that Secessioniani and Abolitionism are alike. They are both wretched here sies, but an Abolitionist is a thousand fold better than a Secessionist. An Abo litionist has the odor of a musLrat but j a Secessionist stinks worn: than a ekuuk The Ileatllon. A grand reaction is taking place in the minds of our people who have been led astray into the rebellion. It now shakes the Commonwealth like a far distant av alanche just breaking loo?e from its icy fastness, on an Alpine summit, and be ginning its descent. As it advances it gathers strength and extent until the Bo lid mountain vibrates with its power. So will bo the popular reaction in this State. And to the rebel leaders the re coil will be terrible. They will have to meet the rage of a multitude seduced in to and held in rebellion by the most atro cious falsehoods, and systematic lying. Where will they escape this storm of re venge? They will have to face the pa- rents of murdered sons, who fell in battle or died in camp or hospitals men who were impressed and drafted into service others who were induced to volunteer for the sake of getting their large and helpless families supported by the rebel Government, but whose families have been left to starve others M ho have been reduced from opulence and independence to abject poverty and distress. Picture Jf-tK Davis standing in such a crowd, hunted down on every side by the over powering Federal army, stripped of all the gaudy trappings of power, abject, ex posed, friendless, deserted and abhorred. Will they not tear him to pieces? Will they not drag him through the streets with turses and yells until he is an un distinguishable mass of blood and gore? Will not as many indignities be offered to his body as to the wretched leaders of of the French Revolution, to Robespierre and Danton ? And now wc tell the rebel leaders of Nashville that such a day of retribution is surely coming, and that quickly. Make your peace while you can. Escape the storm of popular wrath while you have a chance. It will soon be too late. Better fall into the hands of wild beasts than into those of the men you have so loosely deceived and mis led.. V Nnffest Ion. If the rebel Cotton States should man age to resist the Government a few months' longer, and the cotton crop in the Gulf States should be reduced to nothing, it will he worth millions of dollars I) Tennessee to remain loyal, inasmuch as her cdton crop toil I" bring an enormous price. As a mere matter of gain, loyalty will be immensely remunerative. While the re bels arc starving under the Stars and Bars, let Tennessee prosper and bo hap py under the " Stars and Stripes. The path of dutj' is also the path of gain in the end. That able and honest Democratic Sen ator from Indiana, .Joskhi A. Wkkiht, speaks out boldly in favor of making the authors of the rebellion suffer in their purses, and pay for the injury they have done, instead of laying the whole burden of the cost upon innocent men. A Wash ington correspondent says: Senator Wright's speech in favor of conuscation, yesterday, astounded the old logics. I hey were not expecting sucli signs ot vigor Irom.an Indiana Dem ocrat, especially when some of tho Re publican members of Congress hesitate. Ho said boldly that in his opinion a strin gent confiscation act would strike a heav ier blow at the rebellion than has yet been struck, and that he hod no doubts concerning the constitutionality of con fiscation. He would confino the opera tion of the act to specified classes to the leaders of the rebellion. He did not hes itate to say that he desire I to reduce such men as Davis, Toombs, Slidell, Breckin ridge and others to povoty, harsh as such a thing might seem to the Senator from California McDongall. The desires sprung from no feeling of revenge, but for the sake of his country. Robtrt J. Walker, formerly of Missis sippi, was Secretary of the Treasury un--der 1 'resident Polk. AJ correspondent of the Detroit 'lribune, says of him : Robert J. Walker, a Southern man, raid to some gentlemen who were advocating a conciliatory policy at Willard's, a few d.ys ago: "Gentlemen, the North is cer tainly to blame for this terrible war. You have allowed these insolent tyrants to L.QIvLe&t filiit to kick j'Oil, aiid vuiTyou, until they have become actually settled in the blief that this was the way to trat and eoutrwl yon, and now the only course for you is to whip them and pound them, until you thoroughly convince them of their mistake. You can then live with them in peace, but never before.

Inner I. lie Jn the Kl liiuund Capitol. a i'redricksburg correspondent fur nishes the following very interesting gossip which appears very probable. The traitor chief quakics and shudders at the approach of the coming reaction : Wo have had a curiosity here lately, no less a person than Jed". Davis' coachman, William A. .Jackson, a colored man by profession, and one to whom the term "intelligent negro'' can bo truthfully ap plied. He lived with Davis for about eight months, and had his eyes and ears ' open, all the while; the couseijiienco is that he is enabled to furnish us with sonic secrets of State, as well as lo make us familiar with tho natural history and habits of a rebel statesman. Wc learn that l'resident Davis lives very plainly, and is reduced to drinking sassafras in the morning as a substitute for tea. lie has four children, Maggie, n daughter nged seven; Jefl'. Davis Jr., about live years old; Joe, a truculent li Lt lo fellow of three, and a baby rebel a month old lat Christmas. Nono of the children are allowed to eat butter, as that commodity involves too great nn expense, del)', rises between 8 and !) in the morning ahd comforts himself w ith a mint ju'ap1 sitting down to breakfast aud sassafras fea at 10. At 1 he takes light lunch of crackers and cheese, varied wilh au ocessional herring, dining magnificently at 7. His dinner usually oonnists of St. Julian soup, roast beef, ash cake Jeff, is very fond of ash cuke, Jackson says claret and sherry. Over his dinner Jefl". grows confidential and converses with his family. Jackson has heard him complain that while ho was making plans for holding positions, his Generals were engaged in preparing to evacuate them. The loss of Johnston h regrets greatly, saying that he cannot be re placed. Jell's, hopes of success arc dwindling down, and his wife seems to say little to. comfort him. She remarked tho other day at table; that the feared tho Confederacy, to u-c a Yankeo expres sion, was nearly " played out;" that, if it i was true that New Orleans had iaileu, sho cared not I, tug for victories elsewhere. Nor does Jell', himself like tho fall of Ne Orleans, lie complains thafit interferes with his plans regarding tho navigation . of the Mississippi Kiveiy and wiil cost him three States Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. It annoys him especially lo think that ail these places Should bo surrendered without any lighting, re maiking when Gen. Johnston came to him to urge the evacuation of Manassas, that it might be a military necessity, but it Mould bo the ruin of "the cause." Nor can ho digest the fall of Tort Macon. In fact, we are warranted in supposing that, at present there is no more unhappy man in either the Confederate or United States than Jell'. Davis. Jackson says that, w hen news comes of a defeat, he stretches himself tut on the floor, before the lire, aud lies there half the night through, murmuring in his uneasy fdecp, of battles and of plans. He i very un popular at present in Kichmond, and Mrs i Davis complains very bitterly that 110110 ot the citizens call on her, except the few connected with the GoveriiUieut. ri Ml? fl 1? r rf i n 0 tit t a 8 $100 Eeward RINAWA V or sTul.kN f oo f r k . ,l, n, -j,,, i, er 27m nf ti-liruar l., lam llkcy j.
