to tbo most trivial proposition, and HOUght
to be forced through in hot haste, without

rules of the JIouho prevented tiro surprise,
and gave gentlemen at least a decent timo
tjr taking on tho yoke.
An impresnion prevails to Rome extent
that tbo Confederate Congress is disposed
to be unduly submissive to the Executive
Trill. This impression may do the Congress
injustice, and may have arisen from a
proper indisposition on the part of patriotic
members to make issues on petty points
with an impracticable and-ill-contrived
functionary. Wo trust that such may be
tbo fact, and that when the 1 undamentals
of our free institution are assailed, the"

A Wire's Desponding Letter.
The following lines were suggested upon read
ing notice of a solditr being shot for desertion, who
was induced to leave the army by a desponding let
ter from his wife.
Oh, how the soldier's throbbing heart
Had almost burst in twain,
While thinking of that long loved wife,
He ne'er might see again.
letter comes withjoyous haste
He quits his work to read
Wofds of love and encouragement
Jn this his hour of need '.
I watch hit face but ah, I see
No trace of gladnets there,
But, in its stead seems deepljp limned
The blackness of despair ;
That gentle wife, who used to chase
All sadness from his brow,
Has wrecked his hope and pierced his heart
With her complainings now!
What, though the world seems cold to her ?
What, though she wants him home?
She ought to think the country's laws
Forbid him now to coius:
She should not let him know her wants
Although they many be
For it but filla his loving heart
With woe find misery.
He ask? for ' It-art" to visit home
: They grant no furlough' there!"
He reads again that letter o'er
" The dangers I wiVf dare !"
And, thus the soldier, who has stood
The foremost in the fight,
Forsakes the ranks and homeward bends
Jis fated march that night.
Alas! he is caught brought back tried
And is condemned to die
A " among his oldier friends
VonlJ tell the reason why
- They saw that letter heard him read
Each sad. desponding word,
And marked the falling, scalding tear
From its deep fountain stored. j t,
Denr woman ! 'tis for you we fight
Fer you we bravely dare .
The piercing cold the scorehing heat
The deadly shafts of war ;
Then cheer us up with words of hope,
And pray that we may live
To share the land fur which we fought
Unto our wives ti give ! " Q.

it is improbable that negro prisoners would
be massacred. They are worth too macb
in mere money to be so uselessly "ejip'bo

more valuable capture than an Irish er
German recruit JJe brings, Iq hard cash',

the cold atrocity f being shot, on te field.
We trust the rumor will officially con

Lincoln's oeree of abolition fa, .illogical
enough to give him security. Under, the
Federal flag he. is a 'slave, twjitb all, tho im

cati be held 'as. slave by the one side iu the
conflicj, and snot as a free man by, the oth
er, the position of the negro in this war for
his liberalior.haa become miserable Indeed.
Bu, he has really been forced between the
I incensed points of tbe "mighty opposites,"
and his standing ground is not without
peril. "
If the Federal navy ia successful on the
I island waters the advantage will have been
balanced by a casualty at sea, which most
I cxtitfl more than usual interest both in
France and England. The iron clad bat-
: teiy, the Monitor, went; down off Cape
i Ilatteras, in a gale of wind, it may also be
' said, with all hands an board only' part of
j her crew having been rescued by the pad-
dlo steamer that accompanied her. She
narrowly escaped tho same fate in her

seas that washed over her deck found their
extreme aboliuonism. There are only one
divieion and two or three battalion of cav

men and hands employed on fortifications
numberingin all about ten thousand men
Eight thousand more aro ax Franklin, and
the main body near Murtressboro'.
There are rumors from tho front to the
effect that fiosercranz ba neen massing
large reinforcements, just through from
Kentucky, in tbo counties of Sumner and
Wilson. If ibis be true bis intension u u
advance, when the roads permit, not di
rectly upon our forces at Shelbyvillo but
upon Tullaboma by way of Manchester and
cMinniville. Tho troops stationed,, at
Nashville will probably make a ieini upon
ShelbyvHle, but no absofute 'agkaull if
expected froth that bide of the enemy's
line.
The entire strength of tbo army of the
enemy in Murfreetsboro' is estimated at.
fifty thousand Other rcliab'e reports from

sent the reinforcement to consi-tt ol iirct
divisions, each not less than ten thousand
strong. The division of Jeff. (J. Davis, with
Johnstjn'a cavalry, stationed in Williamson
county, are put down at twelve .thousand.
The forces at Nashville do not. i?rceed ten
thousand. Tbus the entire body of troops,

thousand more for garrisor duty, and the
available army to be brought against us
will not come far wrong of sixty thousand
