at Hartavilie, the war on the pa.that
yankees assumed the form of a silirl
war. One party that larned out returu
with fifty-six dresse. An officer who waa
at Gallatin said to a friend af mine, "I
never ran in my life as I did from Morgan
at Gellatia, but (paid them for it." " Haw !"
said the lady. " I lock four ailk dresses
from one boue." The war has bow aome
down to ladies' underclothing. I do not
believe this army would stay io Nashville,
only they expect to de as General Mitchell
did, steal themselves rich.
