Negiey’s Occupation of Nashville* The following from a letter to the Cincin nati Gatetti will be read with interest: The strangeness of the occupation of the oity by Qen. Negley should make a record of it interesting oven at this late date. The achieve ment certainly has no counterpart in this war of ours. It is strange, from the fact that though the chief objective point of the robels, they never made a determined assault, upon it, and strange from the satisfactory r *esult not entirely expected by the commanding General. It cannot be said to have been regularly besieged, though eut off from all communication with the outer world. The robels surrounding it and massing in Its vicin ity all the troops they could spare for the purpose, have never ventured to lay olose siege to It. Cut off from ail supplies, the garrison has been forced to subsist off the country, and its sallies, with but few exocp tioos, have been for the purpose of securing subsistence. • Gen. Negley Is a Pennsylvania Brigadier who was left last spring at Columbia to guard the rear of both hlitchel and Buell, moving diversely to Shiloh and Huntsville. When Bragg flanked this city and it was determined to fail back to Kentucky, Negley was called , in by Buell, complimented for his efficiency in keeping open the rear, and assigned to the ! command or a division. Gen. Buell was fully | aware that Negley held and followed almost , the opposite of his views in regard to the troatment of slaves and other proporty of I rebels. Gen. Negley had, muoh to the dis- j satisfaction of Gen. Buell, instituted the now 1 prevailing systemof using slaves as teamsters. This innovation, I remember, was strongly | condemned by many prominent officers In the | army, but it is now seen that Gen. N. but led, | instead of following public opinion. It is to be inferred from the faot of Gen. Buell s dis- ! like to the political views of Gen. Negley that j his oreation of & division for him and his as- i sigoment to the command of this very import- ! ant position, was a compliment due to Neg- I ley for the admirable conduct at Columbia, I which Gen. Buell had taken occasion to speak ; of in high terms. Gen. Negley eame into charge of the city about the sth of September. He had five days’ rations for the two divisions, which re mained in the city as its garrison, and both of which he commanded, as the senior of Gen. Palmer commanding the other, the first di vision of the army of the Mississippi. The scanty supply of rations indicated early the necessity of looking about him for a source of gopply ; and Negley saw that he had to de pend upon tho country for it. The period for , which the supply was to be continued was in- definite enough, and the present appearance | of the country in this vicinity indicates that | had it been extended a few weeks longer, that | supply would not have sufficed for his com mand. At the beginning tho men were placed on half rations, and the prospect look ed dreary enough. It would pussle the Com missary at this day to tell how the men have been supplied. He states that ho only knows that it has been done, and certainly Uncle Sam cannot grumblo at the bill which is to be presented, as “old seeeah” has had to foot It. This country, for fifteen miles around the city, has been stripped. Immense forage trains, miles in extent, have been dispatched semi-occasiohally, with entire brigades for guards. Foraging has been pursued under it often happening that the guards had to fight with the rebels for the possession of the forage, and then with tho element of fire as to who should consume it. As the natural result of being shut off from supplies, the citUens soon began to want for the necessaries of life. The rebels allowed nothing whatever to be brought In by coun trymen, probably hoping thus to force Neg ley, through humanity, to allow the oitisens to go beyond the lines in search of what they needed. But Negley told them that he would permit anything to be brought Into thorn, but they should not go for it. The "short ration system” among the oitisens soon began to ' reveal its effects in curious and comical fto | tures. Hotel proprietors were foroed to in form their boarders that the ploket* drank their milk, and ate their batter and chpeid ; , that fresh beef was a luxury intended only for 1 the military gentlemen, and that, in conse- ; quence, he should have te close his doors. When a few marketmen appeared in the mar ket-house, it was to. find the place besieged by half-famished oitisens, who paid any price for provisions. The social board, in many families, was dressed but twice a day, and then scantily. Starvation and stagnation stared them in the face. The principal duty assigned to Gen. Negley waa the completion, at an early the works of defence for the city. Those being constructed by Captain Morgan were on an extensive scale, ana highly important. Neg loy is a man of energy. He immediately seised two thousand negroes, constituted them into regiments—actual colored regi ments—gave them quarters to themselves, and put them to work vigorously at the forti fications. These regiments of laborers are regularly constituted, as regards discipline, ami commanded and officered by the more in telligent men to bo found amongst them. Thotr efficiency has been thoroughly tested, and it has been satisfactorily ascertained that twice the amount of euoh labor can be got out of them as can be foroed from the same num ber of detailed soldlen. In addition to the oxtensiv. forts, tho ’f'SrJlji' ended, and under the »nperri«lan of Nogte* the cit, was made impregnable to earairr dashes. Fourteen ofthe heavy-gunsleftbar* spiked b, the enemy, have Ind mounted in different puts of theaty. Th«ait mm were made serviceable through ?h. ingenuity of Ceptain E. Townsend, 15th Culled States Infantry, ordnanee officer In Genoral Nogloy’s staff. Bosides the .other defenses, General Negley built » gnnboat of sneb light draft, that it can be used in th.
