Tho public men who do not hesitato to

Democrats as traitors to their country.
When tho antecedents of the extreme
antislavcry mcu aro considerd, their
sudden conversion to ardent Unionism is
ioniewbat suspicious. Their fidelity to the
Constitutioiaud tho Union was not con
spicuous before the commencement of the

that night, and by their behavior then,

cleared away tho reproach which some
unworthy ofiieers have brought upon them.

It will bo a matter of surprise to the
whole nation that the rebvls should leave
their fortified camp on the river to attack
us in the open field. Thu fact is, they
knew that they ei her had to fight or re
treat. General Boyle's brigade had cut
off their liver communication with Nash
vitle,aud threatened their rear. They knew
that General Thomas was advancing on
the Columbia road, and that his regiments
had necessarily become scattered by rea
sou of the bad loads aud high water.
They had found out that wo had taken
poeso.-sion of Hudson's Poid. They be
lieved that Pishing Creek was so high that
Gou. Schoeff s forces could not cross, and
wero totally unaware of tho arrival of two
Tennessee legiments and th; ltith Ken
tucky at Gen. Thomas's, camp. In dan
ger ot being surrounded completely and
starved out, they had ei'ber to retreat or
do what they did try to cut us up piece-
mea'. i hey thought they were attacking
but three regiu enu. They n.ade thu at
