out to leave on a special train, with the Legislature and archives of the State. The town was in commotion. Over the wire bridge that spans the Cumberland, General Johnston's army were passing, taking the direction of the Murfreesboro' turnpike. The train of wagons and soldiers reached out of sight, and did not get over that night. The sight of a withdrawing or retreating army is very disheartening. My residence is in Edgefield, a little village separated from Nashville by the Cumberland river. For several days General Johnston's headquarters had been established on that side of the river, and near me.--The lady with whom he and his staff took their meals is my neighbor and friend, and tells me that the General opened the news to her at table in these words: "Madam, I take you to be a person of firmness, and trust your neighbors are. Don't be alarmed. Last night my last dispatch, up to 12 o'clock, was favorable, and I lay down expecting a great victory to day, but thi

Floyd and staff left Thursday morning, and it was understood that Capt. John H. Morgan, with his company, would retire slowly, as the enemy in force entered. The Louisiana Cavalry, Col. Scott, were near Franklin, on their way to the vicinity of Nashville, where they will act as scouts and hold the enemy closely in bounds.

Our citizens shouted over it. Many were saying, "I never liked Pillow, but forgive him now — he is the man for the occasion."

hing the tell gate, on the top of the hill over-looking Nashville, I strained my eyes to see the white flag on the Capitol. The tall flag-staff was naked. There was no flag of any sort on it. Passing down Broad street by the Nashville and Decatur road, the first man I saw was Governor Harris, about to leave on a special train, with the Legislature and archives of the State. The town was in commotion. Over the wire bridge that spans the Cumberland, General Johnston's army were passing, o stand with him. Such of them as were not willing to be surrendered to the uncovenanted mercies of Lincolndom, with the prospect of having the oath tendered them or the bastille, followed the retiring army. After taking my family as far as Decatur, I returned to Nashville on Wednesday. The stores were closed and bolted; the streets deserted, save by a guard here and there, and a press gang taking up every man they could find and sending him to load government pork into barges, upon which

The dispatches closed on Saturday as they had for three successive days before-- "the enemy are expecting large reinforcements," but we slept soundly and expected to have great news on the morrow. About 9 o'clock Sunday morning I rode out into the country seven or eight miles, and leaving the turnpike, dined with a friend in one of the quiet and luxurious farmer homes of Middle Tennessee. Returning leisurely, I struck the pike about 4 P. M., and as everybody I had met in the morning had asked me the latest news from the city, I asked the first man I met. Any news? Prepared to hear only of victory. "News! What's the last you've heard?" "Last night's dispatches." "None since? The last out and plenty of it. Fort Donelson has fallen and Nashville is surrendered!
