Gov. Harris tried to save a lot of port at Nashville. He had it taken out, a few miles, to the Insane Asylum, and carefully packed away; and then around the building he had nicely put up little signs, reading “Insane Asylum; protect it for humanity’s sake.” Our troops first examined then very carefully protected it. There is said to be four or five hundred thousand pounds of pork.
