But it is not so — it shall not be so, when the venerated name of Washington is profaned. Among all nations, civilized and savage — in all languages — by high and low — by the good, the noble, the brave, and gentle — even by the drunkard, the ruffian, and the traitor, the memory of Washington is held in reverence. To at defiance. It affords another striking evidence of the destructive and demoralizing influence of that political heresy which seeks the overthrow of that benignant government, and the dishonor of the sacred flag which the valor and wisdom of Washington gave us. The General Commanding feels no delicate reserve in expressing his abhorrence of such language, whenever and by whomsoever spoken. Let the man who dares to utter it, die the death of a traitor, and the roof-tree beneath which wom

Their benign civil government, which has been wrested from them, and their constitution and laws,for them will wait for their coming in vain. The traitors who seduced them, are their murderers. The people of West-Tennessee are, or may be, free again. They are already, practically, repudiating the spurious Southern Confederacy, and denying those ordinances and acts, which the late Governor Harris and a perjured Legislature imposed upon them.

the wife and daughter shall nurse the viper of sedition at home. It is not well, that while he publicly invokes peace and the prevalence of law, they continue to court the horrors of war and disorder. Can he suffer them to entertain traitorous emissaries at his board — to prepare supplies, (paid for by him,) and send them to the rebel army — to collect packages of letters filled with unlawful information, and, with passes obtained upon his good character, or granted in courtesy to their sex, carry them concealed upon their persons outside the lines to emissaries sent to receive them? Can he permit this and not be compromised? It will not do to say, he is clear, and the wife and daughter responsible. They are responsible to him — he to all the world — all being finally accountable to the law. Man stands at the threshold — woman sits by the hearthstone! God has so willed. Let them not seek to change places. By command of Brig.-General M. Brayman. John Peetz, A. A. A.
