March, Capt. Morgan, with forty of his men, suddenly appeared at Gallatin, Tenn., twenty-eight miles the other side of Nashville. After catching all the Union men in the place, and confining them in a guard-house, Capt. Morgan, dressed in a Union ouisville, among others one to Prentice of the Journal, politely offering to act as his escort on his proposed visit to Nashville. Then taking the operator with him as a prisoner, Capt. Morgan with his men awaited the arrival of the train from Bowling Green for Nashville. In due time the train came thundering in. Capt. Morgan at once seized it, and taking five Union officers who were passengers and the engineer of the train prisoners, he burned to cinders all of the cars, with their contents, and then filling the locomotive with turpentine, shut down all the valves, and started it toward Nashville. Before it had run eight hundred yards, the accumulation of steam caused it to explode, shivering it into a thousand atoms. Capt. Morgan
March 18.--The women of Nashville, Tenn., are treating the Yankees in that city with great contempt. When Gen. McCook of the Lincoln army arrived in Nashville, he sent up his card, with the request that he might renew his former acquaintance with Miss S. McNairy. The following was the patriotic reply of the noble and accomplished lady, written on the back of the card: Sir: I do not desire to renew my acquaintance with the invaders of my State.

The following was the patriotic reply of the noble and accomplished lady, written on the back of the card: Sir: I do not desire to renew my acquaintance with the invaders of my State. Two other Hessian officers obtruded their presence into the parlor of Dr. Martin, and sent up their cards to his daughter, Miss Bettie Martin, an elegant and accomplished young lady, requesting also the renewal of an old acquaintanceship. Repairing to the parlor, with a look of ineffable scorn and contempt, she dashed the card into their faces, and said: Your absence, sirs, will be much better company to me than your presence. --Charleston Mercury, March 20.
16. the confederate Primer. At Nashville's fall We sinned all. At Number Ten We sinned again. Thy purse to mend Old Floyd attend. Abe Lincoln bold Our ports doth hold. Jeff Davis tells a lie, And so must you and I. Isham doth mourn His case forlorn. Brave Pillow's flight Is out of sight. Buell doth play And after slay. Yon oak will be the gallows-tree Of Richmond's fallen majesty. --Nashville Union.
Nashville, Tenn., April.--A very entertaining dialogue occurred some days ago in the Governor's office, between Gov. Johnson and two rebel ladies of this city, who came to complain of the occupation of a residence belonging to the rebel husband of one of the ladies by a United States officer. The conversation was substantially as follows: Lady.--I think it is too dreadful for a woman in my lonesome condition to have her property exposed to injury and destruction. Gov.--Well, madam, I will inquire into the matter, and if any injustice has been done, will try to have it corrected. But your husband, you admit, has gone off with the rebels, and you abandoned your dwelling. Lady.--My husband went off South because it was to his interest to do so. You mustn't find fault with anybody for taking care of himself these times. You know, Governor, that all things are justifiable in war. Gov.--Well, madam, it appears to me that this broad rule of yours will justify taking posses
Chattanooga, April 3.--A distinguished Missourian, just from Middle Tennessee, brings important intelligence. He reports that a Kentucky regiment rebelled near Nashville, a few days since, on account of Lincoln's recent message. Two Indiana regiments were drawn out to suppress them. The Kentuckians ordered them to halt at a distance of sixty yards. The Indianians refused, when the Kentuckians fired upon them, killing and wounding four hundred. The remainder ran. They buried, he says, two hundred and eighty who died in six days, last week, near Columbia, from small pox. He reports the Federal army rapidly becoming demoralized on account of the constant killing of their pickets, and the approach of summer. This is eliable.--Knoxville (Tenn.) Register, April 4.
