It ts mot only a curtosity, but an abbiorrenoe to the unfortunate individuals who, from neccsslty, are compelled to suffer its tortures. Be- ing in a state of transition from military to civio pur- poses, a reasonable individual could mot expect as many comferis and convenionces as'are found on our Eastern “road gauigo double track” routes; bat he’ might rea- sonably hope to find the conductor and attaches of the traje doing what little lay in their power to make him and his follow passengers seem comfortable, especially ‘when tho fare is set down at sixteen conte por mile, with @.amall deduction for thoee who purchase tickets) On arriving st the depot ot the Pounesdee and Alabama Rail- road at Nashville yesterday morning, I founds train of box cars, 6 litte teas than half amiletn longth, compactly full ‘of paroled rebel soldiors, froight, niggers and “sich like.’* 1 was wandefing up and down, valise in hand, ‘contem- plating the bright prosppots immodiately in my front, when aamali boy,. standing by 8 little dog, halkoood <ophere’s' a passenger car at the hind eénd, Mistert"’ Back Tstarted, only to find that the car wasfull, and not oven standing room‘could be obtained.’ I found a cor- nor for my baggage, howovor, and hung myself out on the iron rail‘ng in front, whore I had an excellent oppor- tunity of teeting the heating qualities of “Old Sol,” and found ocoupation in wiping the cindors from my eyes with ono hand, whilo with the other I tenaolously held ‘on to the railing.

At any rato it was very kind of Ler to get off. Thon came the tug of war, and I came vory near getting into a sorious difficulty with one of the chivalry for moving faster than he could, and thus scouring the goat. There was no water in the car, and the conductor did not seem to think ‘that people over got dry ona railroad; expecially as he had plenty of it, with ice, for his own use, in the bag- gage car, Several children on board, who bad not been used to such troatmont, cried most vociferously, and ro- fused to be quioted even with bon mots, of which one of tho passengers bappened to have a supply in his\pooket, Imagine the chagrin of your: correspondent, when, just roturning from a creok ‘with @ palliul of tho »desirutte liguid, the oars whistled just as ho stubbed. bis toes and spilled the last drop on the ground.

It is worked by negro’, the game as of old; and nearly ovory man I conversed with on the subject informed me that the crop would be more profitable. under the new régime than under the antiquated system of slavery. “Why, sir,” said @ wealthy planter to me, “I have only twenty field hands on the same plantation whoro I used to work more than twice that number, and my cot- ton looks better than It ever did before. I have some of the fag ends of elavery on my plantation yot, and if I could got rid of them I would uever drop a toar over tho bier of the institution.’* “What aro they ?”’ said [. “A parcol of decrepid men and women and helpless ohiidren."" “The old monarch left Lis adheronts a great many lega. cies of that kind," [ anid. “Yes, indovd,"” said the planter; “but the old ones will soon dio, and the children may be grateful wien thoy grow up—an may not, But, come what may, we are in for li, and ‘ust accopt the decrees of Providence with a8 good @ grace as poss ble."* TUS CORY CROP ‘ looks well, thoagh there is not much planted in this country.

We mast and shail de one'people. These reflections, although @ little for- eign to the sectional heading above, bring mo to a point where I can diverge from a rolation of what I saw, and tell WHAT A WHBRL MAJOR HAD TO HAT. I formed the acquaintanes, through a friend, of Major William Carr, late of tho rebel service. Ho was in the rebel army from the time of the first Bull Ruh battle ‘until Genoral Johnston surrendered—firet on Bragg's, then on Hood's and lastly on Johnston's staff. He had been an earnest, persevering, hot-headed rebel, even before the war commenced, as he freely confessed, and hae only now laid down his arms because he could no longer fight with any degree of consistency. For his intrepidity he carries the marks of three wounds, which he haughtily calls “honorable scare,’ and rejoices in the assertion that he was a rebel to the backbono. He said to me in substance as follows:—I have supported and upheld the South in this strurgle from first to Igst trom principle, While this is the case with me and many others, there was still a great portion of our army who went into the ranks from force. Ido not mean military force, sir (for that was not used to any considerable extent in the carly part of the war), but moral force. It was utterly impossible fora young man of uny pride or spirit to stay ai home. He received scoffs of the old men, the jeers of the ladies and en tho tannts of his own negroes if he did not go to the war. It was a common thing for our ladies to send notes and even chomisettes to the cowardly stay-at- homes ; and so the great balk of our able bodied population was inthe Held in an almost incredibly short time. Thus, having so largo an army, with the advantages of defensive positions, and (he very flower of West Point to plan and execute our military operations, we laughed at the idea of Lincoln's “seventy-five thousand men for threo months,” to suppress insurrection. Everything went on swimmingly, and when we gained tho first of Bull Run the Srhole country was in a blaze of oxcitement, and we regarded the Southorn confederacy as almost a fixed fact. When, however, the subsequent ‘were made, and we saw with what alactity the people of the North flow to arms—the futile attempts of our Northern friends to the contrary notwithstand: awe began to see that the war on the part of the North was terribly in earnest. Tho army was not disheartened, for they still belloved they were equal to the herculean task; but the le at homo bocame frightened, and then patriotiam began to wane. There was no ‘onthusiasm among them, and ihoy seemed to settle down into a torpor and cry for . Your army were now gradually worming juto the very heart of ‘the confederacy, and wherever they went they left behind them nothing but desolation and ruin, This, while it inspired your peoplo and mado them hopeful, made our planters discongolate, for it was touching thelr pockets; and touching the pockets was mobing their hearts, ‘Under these circumstances, they ed their attention from their plantations, which could nger be made profitable, to schemes of apeculation, Instead of giving of their substance & keop up the ox. penses of the government. and make our brave soldiers ua comfortable ae possible, they wormed into the very heart of our financial system and leeched the life out of our treasury, You can se, eit, how wo have suffered.

In the morning some sixty cases, mainly retating to the discipline of the force, were Gisposed of.

Officer Shannon, also of the Nineteenth precinct, being concorned in the assault, was also placed on trial ‘for the offence. Captain Hartt conducted the case for the officers, and showed that citizen Krach bad been arrested some six times on dif- ferent charges, and that he was considered unsafe by the officers; and furthor, that the affair occurred about the time when tho picnic was breakin; up, which time is usually selected by the thieves to get up a fight to enable them to work at their nofarious business. It was further shown by the officers that Kirsoh was not abused in the station house. Catherine Cook, one of the witness2s, sald that. Kirsch clinched the officer, and that the latter then struck him with his club. Citizen Ray saw an attempt mado to reecue tho prisoner on their way to tho station house, and thought the officers did not use as much vio- lence as ho should have used had he been an officer, Oitizon Hallahan said he was clubbod for remonstrating against oltizen Kirsch being clubbed ; but as this clubbing ocourred at the time the attempt at rescue was made, it ‘was not considered out of the way.
