No sooner had this event occurred than ‘Washyilie at once grew ambitious of boing the seat of the webel goveroment; and, en Juve 28, the Common Couscil @f Nashvilie appropriated seven hundred and Afty thou- wand doliars to build a residence for Joff.

The army of General Buell was, for several days subsequent to ‘this, arriving and passing through the city, and up March 16, it retained ite martial aspect, During ‘the ccoupation of the city the army was encamped all @round the place, and on one or two occasions was at- ‘tacked by small bands of guerillae, On the Sth of March Morgan attacked the Fourth Obio cavalry, of General Mitebeil’s division, taking Captain Braden, of General Domoni’s stall, prisoner, ape destroy ing several wagons. ‘Thoy wore pursued and four killed and several eaptured, ‘The next day thesame party attacked General Negley's pickets, and were repulsed again: About the same time Governor Acdrew jobuson arrived at Nashvilleand az- Bumed contro! of the State as military governor.
