will be read with interest :
Ntisbville is, on the west, bank of the
Cumberland' river, some two hundred
miles by the course of the stream from its
mouth ; two hundi•ed and eiglify miles
northeast of Memphis; two hundred and
sixty miles southwest of Lexington, in
Kentucky, and, six hundred and eighty
four qiies from- WaShington_city. Many
of the private residences are erected on a
scale, of palatial magnitude and splendor,
-and the public buildings exhibit a corre--
pending character. The new Capitol
stands on a commanding' eminence, one
hum/red and seventy-five feet above the
fiver. A Lunatic Asylum,- on d large
-
scale, has recently been.erected-in the vi
cinity. The State Penitentiary- at this
place is 313 by . o, containing two hun
dred cells. The University pt. Nashville
was founded in 1806. The - Medical Col
lege connected with the -University was
opened in 1651.: There are alio a num
ber of female seminaries, the largest of
which is attended by over three hundred
pupils. Nashville contains three banks,
with a total capital of 85,152,500, and fif
teen churches, representing various re
ligions denominations. The Cuinberland
fiver is crossed by a magnificient wire sus
pension bridge, built at a cost of one hun
died thousand dollars. Water is sup
by being raised from the Cumber
land river. Six - rail-roads centre at Nash
ville, affording communication with many
desired points.. 'lt is the terminus of the
Nashville - and Chattanboga Railroad, one
hundred .n and fifty miles long, which was
finished in 1852; at an expense of about
three Million dollars. The road is built
in a very substabtial manner, and com
pletes the connection with Charleston and
Savannah- The commerce of Nashville
.is very extensive, amounting annuallyt to
thousands of tons, composed of .steam
boats navigating the Cumberland river,
engaged in the conveyance -ofspassetigers
and the traffic of goods mid produce.—
Extensive manufacturing establishments
are in successful operation at this place,
among which may be-mentioned the pow
der mill, the rolling mill, the Tennessee
Iron Works, just beloW the city on• the
Cumberlanil river, which are as extensive
and - equal in capacity to any in the Uni

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.
•
The assertion in several newspapers
that the Senate has ratified a treety with
Mexico, loaning her a large sum of money
.fir the payment of her foreign creditors,
is helicreci to be incorrect, nor does it ;
- appear, on inquiry- of those •who should
know, that such a treaty is even betore'
. the Senate for ratification. Nevertheless,
the propriety :of framing such a treaty
may have been a subject of • discussion at
the recent protracted Executive sessions,
and it is known that the able head of the
State DepartMent has taken great interest
• in placing Mexican affairs before Senators.
But the advises received by Secretary
- Seward, by the, Kangaroo, must put an
•
entirely different aspect on our relations
- with'3leXico. The foreign powers disre
o-arding the 'Monroe doctrine' in Lids our
hour of wealzuess, appear anxious to over-

eral Constitution and the preservation of
the Union'slintegrity—and to turn it into
a war for the emancipation of slaves and
the suljugation of the Southern States,
or -their return to a territorial condition,
is an effort against the Union, against the
Constitution, against justice and against
humanity, sill should. be promptly froivii
