THE SITUATION. The hoofs of the cavalry have bren datering over the roads arouua Nash ville, and the guns of Forest have echoed in ear of the State Capital. The exploit of Thursday was signal. Like most of the achievements of our > mounted men, it evinces great daring shrewd foresight and admirable man-1 agetnent. It cones to us pleasantly upon the heels of the unlucky tr p near .Milton.

Position of Caleb Cashing.— Ytie N n th ern papers published ihc so losing letter from Caleb Cashing to Dahi:-::. Muter, dated March 5, 1863 ; I hear that some political u e is made in New Hampshire of a report attributing to me a speech delivered not long si. ee in New. York, at a meeting held to pro mote the project ol Mr Eli Thayer for the forcible colonization of Florida, and I write to say that the report is, ol course, an erroneous one, and that the speech in question was delivered by Mr Cassius M. Clay. How this crude utterance came to be ascribed to me it impossible for me to conjecture. Nor is that important to know. Suffice it to siy that the speech is not mine in fact, and that its opinions are not my opinions. I reprobate alike its arguments and its objects. The same mischievous plans brought upon us the cause of Kansas. This-new Emigrant Aid Company be long to that base brood of pestile schemes of policy toward the insurgent States Subjugation, confiscation, coloriz tiki, emancipation, devatation, ex ermimtion which sounds like the delirous ravings of bedlam let loose, which, if carried in to actual opera* ion would, in their ulti mate effect, m >st of all injure the loyal States, and which tend to cause a great national uprising, entered upon by us for the maintenance of the Constitution and the Union, to sink down into a mtr c desperate struggle of suicidal blind rage ®f self destruction—the abolition of the Constitution and the overthrow of the Union by our fatal hand, not that of cur encores. This gospel of death, this radical destructiveness, is the only prac tide dieunionism existing among us in the loyal States. Through it makes be lieve support, it fiercely opposes the Administration; it is in deadly hostility to the freedom, prosperity and happiness of the people; it is treasonable conspira cy against the government. May God in his mercy confound all such disloyal counsel, that thus—for thus only can it be—the Union shall be strengthened and shielded to pass un scathed through this its second baptism of blood and firs, and our suffering coun try be enabled to repose once more in peace under the broad shadow cf the Constitution.
