Mrs. Lyon’s Diary.
May 10.—We sat on deck nearly all day to view the scenery, which is very picturesque. The gunboats shelled the bluffs. There are different places where they had cannon stationed, but they did not trouble us. We sat on the bow of the boat to watch the shells explode. We arrived at Nashville without seeing a rebel and very few contrabands. We got there just in time to go to church. Went to the Methodist Church and heard the minister preach Secesh principles.
