THURSDAY, MARCH 19,'1863. ARMY OF THE. CUMBERLAND. [Special Correspondence of The Press.] NASIIVILLW Tenn., March 14, 1865. THE CITY VIEW. This is a delightful day, and the wet season is be lieved to have been passed. But for the devastation of all the lands within a vast circuit, and a general thinning out of the Slave:population, the farms and plantations hereabouts would be filled with indus trious hands. There are no" fences, though, no fields, no slaves to build fences and encompass lost farms, and, therefore, very little in the way of agri culture can be realized in this immediate locality. It is exceedingly painful to recollect Nashville as it was, !•and .see it as it is. It was the home of re ,linement and luxury, of wealth and ease, and of in- . telligent.men and beautiful women. The capital of Tennessee is now the seat of misery, disease, filth, and desolation. The 'churches, literary institutions, 'public halls, and large mercantile and commercial establishments have been converted into hospitals, infirmaries, and lazar houses, and twelve thousand national sick, sore, diseased, and rotten men. lie within; the graveyards and vacant lots within the city limits contain, the carcasses of seven thousand Federal and/rebel victims of disease; the streets, avenues, and alleys abound in drunken soldiers, de serters, rowdy citizens, ruaway slaves, paupers, vagrant children, mud, filth, ruin and desolation, while the very air is filled with contagion and op pressively offensive smell—the fruits of Secession ! THE UNION SENTIMENT. Some correspondents delight - in picturing no re action. This is wrong. There is a healthy increase of loyal feeling, and the Union Club, which con tains three hundred and seventy-nine menibers, could transact no business last night, on account of the time occupied in admitting new members. The Club is very strict in relation to the admission of members, but one black ball being necessary to pre vent an applicant from becoming a member of the Club. Horace H. Harrison, Ed. ll:East, John Trim ble, Russell Houston, A. V. S. Lindsley, Allen A. Hall, and others of the unconditional patriots, are the ruling and influential spirits of the august or ganization. THE GOVERNOR AT THE NORTH. The Union men in this county are highly pleased with the reception in the North of Governor An . drew Johnson. He is looked upon here as one of the most true patriots in the'country. and his return is anxiously awaited here by his friends. It is be lieved that he will attend the donvention which is to be held in Louisville on Wednesday next. A PATRIOTIC SENTIMENT. At a select party, a few nights ago, attended by Parson Brownlow, A. V. S. Lindsley and son, Ed. H. East, General Green Clay Smith, Jordan Stokes, and four correspondents, the folloiving toast weal 'liven by Mr. Furey, of the Cincinnati Gazette, and responded to by a correspondent of The Press: , "How. Jonw W. Fonwnr—The partisan Demo crat, who forsOok party and party friends for his country. Not only the first man to discover treason, but the first to rebuke it. His unconditional, un flinching patriotic support of. the Administration is but the reflection of his love, devotion, and fidelity to his country.", THE DISASTER NEAR FRANKLIN. The accident which befell a portion of our forces, near Franklin, could not be retrieved. Our rein fercements chased Van Dorn down to Columbia, and 'now occupy ground just this side of Duck river. Brave, patriotic Jim Stedman, with his division, threw a few shells into. General Forrest's division as •it passed, but, according. to orders, maintained his position upon the Nolinsville pike. Notwithstand ing this is the Invincible army of the nation, such disagreeabledisasters .. as the Hartsville and Franklin affairs seriously harm it, and disturb the great mind of the commanding general. Our total loss, as I have telegraphed, is 1;406; which embraces the killed, wounded, and missing. ALL QUIET ON STONE RIVER. With the exception of the movements: of large foraging parties, nothing has taken place at Mur freesboio to disturb the monotony of camp life. Sheridan's and-jeff Davis' divisions moved out on Friday last, Mit have returned to theie camping ground. In addition, I may say, "All quiet" upon the Cumberland. , An accident of a Painful c aractestoon - praceupon -- the -White's Creek pike yesterday, about one mile from town. The victim was a very interesting little boy, named Willie Hicks, aged five years. The lit tle fellow was missed soon after dinner on Wednes day, and search instantly male for him until near night, when a little dog, of which Willie was very tfond, was seen floating, in. a cistern about three him - dred yards froni the house. An exploratioh of the ;cistern was determined upon, and ended in the dis covery'of the body Of the child. It is supposed that he fell in, and that the dog, with a view of saving his young master, jumped in after ,him, but he proved' too -weak to save him, and they perished together. _ IRON MOTS. The following are the latest humorous items of the times, all of which.are original : A day or two ago, a negro met his owner, and the following took place : "Massa 'Wheeler, I see dey git de niggers in de 'hellion muss ; fiat's fooliishness, ear ; de niggers bet ter stay to dar homes." ".Well, what do you knOw about it, Tom?" • "Wall, Massa, dis chile - doesn't 'zacly sperience nuf to 'give naberate view de case; but, by golly, he notice dat when tiedogs fight ober a bone, de bone neber says nuffin, liWah !" "Hurrah for Jeff Davis!" shouted a little fellow on Cedar street, the other day. , " Hurrah for the devil !" rejoined an indignant private of the Ist Tennessee. "All right," said the juvenile ; "you hurrah for your man, and Pll hurrah for mine." - Which was good. "Hurrah for -Jeff Davis !" shouted a gentleman, who Was standing in front of the St. Cloud. "Not much, sir," remarked a member of the pro vost guard, grabbing him by the shoulder. "But, I've done no harm, my dear man." "Yes you have ; you cheered for Jeff Davis." "Oh, yes ; but I meant the fellow who shot Nel son--I didn't"— Provost left, hurriedly. " I wonder," said an old lady, in my presence, "when this fighting will cease?" "When officers get the same pay as privates," re plied a corporal near. Which was unkind: A few days ago I discovered an old darkey on the corner of Broad and Vine streets, singing : ' We've no"less days to sing his praise Dan when we first begun.". Whose praise do you mean'!" I inqUired ; "the Lord's, or Mr. Lincoln's 1" - To which he replied : " We've no less days to sing Massa Lincoln's praise Dan wen we fust—" But before he could finish his melody, a partly de voured decayed apple' descended from the hand of a dilapidatedprivate soldier detailed on detached duty above,'square upon the devoted cranium of the dis mal songster, and . he departed diagusted. Colonel Gillem, one of the finest of gentlemen and strictest of officers., was one day reprimanding one of his soldiers, who was slightly, intoxicated at the time. After the Colonel had concluded, the soldier remarked: " Yez wuddint have occasion to talk to me so of •I had a pistol." The Colonel, much astonished, asked : "Well, air, what would you do if you had a pistol?" "Why, I'd shoot—meself, sir." Which rather pleased the colonel. The other day, while in company with a friend, a soldier,. with his arm in a sling, accosted me with— " Will you be kind enough to give me a little ma ney to (get sometobacco? I was wounded at . freesboro; and have had no pay for five months." While I was in the act of bestowing a shinplaster my friend remarked to the soldier : "Why, this man whom you are asking money from is n Secesidonist "Well,''l'm a Democrat, tOO," replied the Which was rough on the Conservatives. "If a felloW gets conscripted, without a matter of three hnndred dollars in his possession, what will he do I" " • "Why, fight ! what else can he do?"' By the way, if the conscription bill takes effect in this locality, I think:there will be a general settling up. I think Uncle Sam can make about $150,000 in this city. B. C. T. General Minty's Recent Brilliant Recon noissance—Dimling the Enemy for Ten Days—Complete Snecess of the Expedition —Pennsylvanians- Engaged, &e. Alpierz.B.Esßoxo, Tenn., March 15, • VIA NASHVILLE, Marell 15. An expedition of cavalry, which went out on the 4th inst.,-under command of Colonel Robert H. G. Minty, returned last evening, having made a bril liant and miccessful scout:through the enemy's coun try. .of eleven days' duration. Col. Minty's forces consisted of the let, 2d, and 3d Brigades of cavalry, two companies of the 4th Regulars, and Lieutenant Newell's section of - artillery. The expedition was accompanied by Major Gen. Sherridan's division of infantry on the . first day out. Colonel' Minty was instructed to dislodge' the enemy from Rover, a small town on the Salem 'Pike, fifteen miles from Murfreesboro. About four hundred rebel cavalry were posted there,, but fled on our, approach„ fol lowed th closely by e 7th Pennsylvania and 4th Re gulars. Finding that portion of his forces had failed to cut off the enemy's retreat,' Colonel Minty gal lantly leading the column, ordered his men to draw sabre and charge upon the rebels. The latter broke and fled in confusion.' They_ were pursued through the town of Unionville, and thence beyond to with in five miles of Shelbyville; where our cavalry Pe netrated the enemy's infantry pickets, five of whom were captured at Unionville.. ;There had been a coin_ party. of _about - six hundred men, who, it . was subeequently aseertained, had retired on our ap proach, abandoning camp equipage, horses, wa. gone,' &c. - 'took fifty-one prisoners, seven teen• wagons, fortptwo mules, thirty.one tents, two wagon-loads of bacon and bread. The only casualty was one man of ,the .7tli,' Pennsylvania slightly wounded in'the font. Thursday's expedition heard heavy firing fromthe soutiFef Franklin, and Moved to the support of General Steadman's brigade at No linsville. On Saturday Colonel Minty:,determined to proceedlo Franklin, and atnoonday, under orders froin Major General Gordon'Granger, marched, at daybreak on the CartenUreek Pike for the purpose of effecting a 'junction at Thompson's Station with General G. C. Smith, who had proceeded thither on Saturday. About one mile from the station seven hundred rebel cavalry were found drawn up in readi ness for a fight. Colonel Minty at once advanced on the enemy and drove him to the station where two more rebel regiments were. After considerable sharp skirmishing, our cavalry formed for a charge and again dispersed the enemy. We lost in this ac tion five killed and thirteen wounded. On Tuesday Colonel Minty proceeded towards Co lumbia, advancing as far as Rutherford Creek Bridge, which was destroyed. General Sherridan orderecU the cavalry to ford the stream a mile and a half above. The enemy being in sight, our advance moved up quietly, closely' followed by the 4th Indi ana Cavalry. Colonel Minty did not perceive that part of his forces-were crowding upon the advance, till the rest of his command had also come up, while our forces, being then massed in a column of fours, were attempting to cross, a galling fire of musketry was opened from a party of rebels concealed behind a stone wall on the opposite side of the stream. Two men killed and three severely wounded. The horse of Colonel Minty was shot front under him. It being impossible to ford the stream on account of its swollen condition, the expedition camped at Moore's Ford. Next morning, Forrest, with about 800 men, advanced to the opposite bank. The 4th Michigan opened tire, and Lieut. Newell trained his- artillery to bear upon the guerillas. The combined fire drove them to the woods, and our cavalry im mediately crossed the stream, the 4th Michigan Bat tery taking the advance. The rebels were pursued about five miles without being overtaken. Colonel Minty then marched hie force toward Columbia. It was found Van Dorn had crossed the river twelve hours previous bya pontoon. The river was high, and Colonel Minty was obliged to return' to the camp of the night previous. Next day (Thurs day) the expedition started for Murfreesboro, reach ing here late last evening. The expedition took out four days' cooked rations, and was absent eleven days, a part of which time the men were obliged to forage-for their subsistence.

Troubles in Salvador and Guatemala Verg lug into Civil War Again—General Bar rios, of the Former Country, Victor in a Great Battle—He IPronounces it the Most Extensive and Decisive Ever - Fought in Central America—The United States of Co lombia—Future Government of the Re public. PANAMA, Sunday, March B.—The Panama Rail ro'ad Company's steamship Salvador, Captain Rath bun, arrived at Panama from Central American ports on the 6th, with news from Salvadiir, Guate mala, and Nicara . gua,to March 26, and from Costa Rica to the 2d Instant. The news is important. Salvador and Guatemala bad inaugurated a Central American war promises to comprise all five , States. In my last I gave you a short history of the origin and progress of the quarrel between Guatemala and Salvador, or rather between Presidents Carrera and Barrios, for it had its origin more in personal than in national prejudices or difficulties. I also an nounced the marching of 4,000 troops from Guate mala toward the.frontier of Salvador, and the de parture of a body of- men under Gen. Barrios for Coatefeque, to - bar the progress of the invaders. This place is sixteen leagues from the city of. San Salvador, and its natural strength was increased, at once by the French and other engineers, whom Barrios had placed at the head of his force. On the 2.2 d of February, after having a day or two before taken possession of the deserted town of Santana, Carrera, with, 1,600 men, made a bold attack on Barrios' entrenchments, but was repulsed, with "a loss of over 100 men. On the 24th, at BA. AI., the attack was renewed with great fury, and continued until 4 P. M., when Carrera was_compelled to withdraw, leaving four rifled guns a considerable quantity of- munitions of • war, 300 killed, and of course a large number of wounded on the field. Among the Guateznalian officers said to be killed, are Gene. Zavala and Bru no, the former Carrera'a principal general. General Barrios, in a bulletin, claims a decisive victory, and sass that Gene. Gonzalez and Bracamente are in hot pursuit of the enemy. Barrios calls it the great- I est battle that ever was fought in Central America. It was expected that Nicaragua would soon joiN 7 , Guatemala against Salvador, and present 4ndi . C.st. , t j one are that Honduras will join Salvador. Thefe7 is a plan, however, to overthrow the presentAilini-;.• nistration in Honduras, and place in power General Xatruch, a Hondureno, who was conspicuouSinVie" war against Walker, and who is at present",in Nica ragua„ holding the appointment of'Provincial Go: vern or of New Legovia. If this ichenie;Should - suc-. ceed, Barrios' enemies will probablY be too ,strong for him, as the rulers of Costa Rica also hate him, and will lend, what covert assistance they can to Guatemala, even if they do not,*openly declare in her favor. • - - In 'Nicaragua, President Martines, fearing an in vasion from Barrios, has named Senor Nicaeio del Castillo, acting President, in order. that he, Mar tines, may turn his attention exclusively to military matters. • • • Costa Rica 'is quiet. On the 16th February the Costa Rican Congress opened its extraordinary ses sions. The elections for President of the Republic were to take place on , ,the sth of March. - It is near ly 'certain that Senor Jesus Jimenez, of Cartago, will be the successful candidate. ' The coffee yield is lesEi than was expected. Some say it will not be more than '70,000 quintals.. Allow ing for speculaissrs' stories, it may probably be put down at 85,000 quintals. At Punta Arenas it was held at 15 per quintal, 10 per cent. off for American. gold. The Salvador brought 26 passengers, and the fol lowing freight list: For New York-492 hides, 2 ceroons indigo, 8 bales deerskins, 2 cases merchandise, 15 bales cotton, 30 bags coffee. .

Treasure for Southampton Treasure for Panama Total $22,420 35 NEWS FROM THE 'UNITED STATES OF 00- LOMBIA PANAMA, Sunday, March 8, 1863.—The British steamship Solent, which left Carthagena on the 4th, arrived at Aspinwall on the sth instant. The news from the capital is 'interesting. On the 4th of Feb ruary the 'National Convention opened its regular sessions in the city of Rio Negro, in the interior State of Antioquia. There:were fifty-one members present, all the States being - represented. Seflor Francisco Y. Zaldua was elected President of the body, and Senor Climaco Gomez Secretary. _The same day General Mosquera presented a complete history of the operations, &c., of the three-years' revolution, which is now ended in his favor, ac knowledged his liability to answer to the Conven tion for any errors he had committed, and then re signed the supreme executive authority into their hands. On the 9th of February, the Convention passed -a law temporarily organizing the Government, until the Federal Constitution can be made and promul gated, and naming five distinguished persons as a Junta to carry on the affairs of the country. Each one of these occupies a distinct department, and is responsiblelor his acts in that department. General i ff c a.frtt i m_ge , Minis_fer _ t at' War, which gives tos Gutierrez is-Minister - of Abie - fhtgrioff Lopez is Minister of Exterior Relations; Dr:Salgar, a young and talented man, is Minister of Hacienda, and Senor Largacha; of. Bogota, Minister of the Treasury and Credit Nacional. The idea of ruling the country permanently by such a council as that named is popular, and it is thought may be adopted permanently. General Mosquera, before resigning, decreed a ge neral amnesty for political offenders, and for detitos COMM'S. I believe we have no political prisoners in In his message of non-intervention, General Mos quera says simply he disapproves the Guardo-Muril lo Convention made at Aspinwall, and which gave to the State the national franchises in the Panama Railroad, that one of its articles, in which the State claimed too much "sovereignty," that it was iu con travention of the national dignity, and therefore he was -compelled to disapprove or ft. Ile gives no opinion about what ought to be done with the Go vernment's rights in the road. e ; - - General Mosquera's act, in so promptly resigning the supreme executive power, was unexpected by his friends, and has disappointed his enemies. The latter hoped that he would pursue such a dictatorial course as to make the Liberals, who supported him, dissatisfied with him and with his revolution. The Convention will close its sessions in Bogota. The whole country is in complete peace. Never-,theless. there seems to be a little trouble brewing in; the State of Bolivar, of which Carthagena is the ca pital.--Gen. Nieto, Governor of that State, and who, with Mosquera, inaugurated the revolution, and who has been extremely active in overthrowing the Ospina Government, is a parti-colored indivi dual, of extremely lofty pretensions, and thinks himself to be at least as great a man as Moulders himself. He expected to be a competitor with Biros quera for the Presidency, and has, since the revo lution became a - -success, been constantly plotting against him. He has caused the Legislature of Bo livar to • pass a law denying . the national troops li berty to quarter them selves in the State, and another forbidding any national civil officers to hold autho rity-within its borders. • A week or two since he went so far as to expel, by, force, Senor Raman Mercado, Intendente Na tional for the States of Magdalena and Bolivar. Undoubtedly this act will bring down the strong arm of the Government upon him in a very brief period, and it, remains to be, seen whether he has gained power enough with the people, in the revo lution, to enable him to resist the will of the Con vention. Mosquera and Nieto have always had a mutual dislike, and the former, even while working closely with the latter, is charged with having al ways spoken of him with contempt. Business is reviving in the interior, and indeed throughout the whole country. - We have no local news of interest. The State Executive, it is believed, will reconsider his resolu tion to imprison such citizens as shall refuse to pay the forced contribution. The Vanderbilt steamer Champion was twelve days and seven hours in making the run from New York to Aspinwall, coming to thee-westward of Cuba. The passages lately have averaged over eleven days. The late arrival of the Champion causes a detention in her return of one day. . We have heard nothing of the movements of the Alabama since she fired a shot across the British streamer Trent.' Probably you have heard ere this of this freak of Semmes, of the subsequent apology, and the breakfast on the Trent, in which the pirate and John Bull drank confusion to the. Union over a pot of , af- an-"af. Semmes has no idea of quitting these waters.- The close proximity of so many "neutral' ports, and the sympathy of the people, insures him almost perfect motility in his present cruising-ground.

Movements of the French—Preparations of the Mexicans for Resistance—Recall of the Prusilan Minister—Thc Forced Loans. . ' WASHINGTON', March 17.—Our advices from the City of Mexico down to the2sth of February have been received. The mail, although Made up hastily, and sent via Tampico, the French being too near Puebla to render the route via Vera Cruz a safe one, contains intelligence of interest. General Forey's army, , 20,000 strong, *as at Amozoc, some fifteen miles from Puebla., The preparations at Puebla for resistance to the attack, which was daily expeoted, were considered complete. The determination of the Mexicana to defend their country to the last was as earnest as ever. Three musket manufactories were running day and night, one at the City of Mexico, one at Pue bla, and one at San Luis de Potosi. The Prussian minister, Baron Wagner, who had been acting in the interest of the French; and pro tecting French subjects in Mexico, had been recalled by his Government. The Juarez Government had ordered the Governor of San Luis de •Potosi to return to foreigners the money which he had raised by forced loans, and give whatever further satisfaction the aggrieved parties might justly demand. THE WEST INDIES, Arrival of the Steamer TaiiSman—Rep . orted Movements of the AlalbamaThe Vander- bilt Reported to be Disabled by Her, Arc. NEW Ironic, March 18. The steamship Talisman arrived at tide port last evening from Kingston, Ja maica, on the Bth instant. We find the following paragraph in the Colonial Standard of the 9th. of Fe bruary : - " Her Majesty's steamer Greyhound, seventeen guns, which arrived at Port Royal on Saturday, re ptors having left four Federal men-of-war at the Caymanas, and that the Confederate steamer Ala bama was at that port, and attempted to enliathands upon the shore to - join her, but - was - ordered off. - Commodore Wilkes, it is said, was in port, and com mitted excesses. It is added that the Greyhound brought' despatches to the Commodore on the subject." In the Standard of the -9th we also find the an: nouncement of the arrival atJamaica of the steam ship Vanderbilt, and in the issue of the 16th the fol lowing ambiguous news : - "-The statement in circulation, that - the Vander bilt had captured the Alabama turns out to be, un true. The reverse' was'the' - case. The Alabama fired a broadside into - 4he Vanderbilt, disabled her,- and then proceeded on her course.” The statement is undoubtedly untrue, as the in telligence of any such Occurence would have reached us before this time by way of Havana or Wassail. ifeliel for the Destitute in Ireland..

[Prom the London Star, Feb. 28.1 - Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, a deputation waited upon his Excellency. Mr. Adams, the United States minister, at his official residence, in Portland place, for the purpose of presenting him with an address, signed by more than thirteen thousand live hundred of the inhabitants of Birminghain, on the subject of the American crisis. The deputation was introduced by Mr. Bright, M. P., and consisted of Mr. Charles Sturge, (the ex-Mayor,) Mr. Henry Manton, Mr. George Edmunds, clerk of the peace, Mr. James Taylor, Jr., Mr. Wm. 12dorgan, and Mr. J. A. Partridge. Mr. Bright said that the address might be consi dered to represent the opinion of by far the greater number of the inhabitants. The list of signatures comprises those of twenty- eight members of the Town Council, of whom eleven-were aldermen, and seven bad filled the office of mayor of the borough. Many more persons would have willingly given their namealf a little longer time had been allotted for that purpose. Mr. C. Sturge then read the address, of which the following is a copy : ADDRESS OF THE INHABITANTS OF BIRMINGHAM TO MS EXCELLENCY ADRARAX LINCOLN, PRESI DENT OF THE ITNITED STATES OF AMERICA. SIR : We. the undersigned, inhabitants of the borough of Birmingham, desire to express our deep and heartfelt sympathy with you in your .endeavor to preserve the Union of that great and free country .over whose destinies you were elected •to preside, and whose Constitution you have sworn to defend. The attempts of the Southern States to form—as their leaders unblushingly avow—fon the first time in the history of the world, a confederacy with slavery, and the extension of slavery to yet unform ed 'States, for its basis, we regard with - horror and abhorrence. And we earnestly pray that the Great Ruler of events may strengten you and your cause, in order that the present unholy contest may be speedily brought to a successful issue, and, as the crown of all, that liberation and.. freedom, with all their accompanying blessings; may be given to the millions of our colored - brethren now in bondage; that you may be the . chOsen instrument in effecting this glorious emancipation is our ear nest hope ; and if, in your aspirations for the freedom. „of-the•negro, the. sympathy and good wishes of all %nen who love - libertyicKii-cheer your heart in mo ?di:lents of doulit'and,perplexity, you may assuredly feel, convinced-thatrimeh sympathy and good wishes =she not withheld. Par ourselves, we beg to assure ::You of our strong belief in the justice of your cause, of ,our warm sympathy with your noble efforts for emancipation, and of our certain faith in your ulti mate triumpli.r We hold that your cause is the cause of humanith . ofzeilgion, and freedom ; and in this belief weagain express our synipathy with you in your present onerous and trying position, and assure you that, whatever may be said to the contrary, the , vast majority . of the English people are anxious for your success in this great and terrible contest?' He qr. Sturge) thought that if the Emancipation Proclamation had been issued at the beginning of the War, it would by this time have effected the ex tinction of slavery;., and the preservation of the Union. Mr. Adams, in reply to the deputation; said : Gen tlemen, I am exceedingly happy to receive this ad dress, and it will give me great pleasure to transmit it at once to the President of .the United States. It gives me the greater satisfaction, from the fact which you have mentioned, that it is perfectly spon taneous. There have -been some amusing inti mations or insinuations, in some of the newspapers in this country, to the effect that the Government of the United States had something or-other-they do not say what—to do with getting up these demon strationsr A statement of - that kind is on the face of it so ridiculous as hardly to need further notice, but at the same time it is a source of gratification to me personally, as the representative of the`United States, to be able to say that in no respect, - directly or indirectly, in any agency whatever, has the Go vernment of the United States been concerned in this movement from beginning to end:. It is, therefore, with great satisfaetion that we regard this as the spontaneous outburst - of the popu lar sentiment Of Great Britain, not so much in sym• pathy with any political organization 'on the other side of the Atlantic, as in testimony to their devotion to one great principle, which ought to animate the people equally in hoth -hemispheres. It is in - that light more particularly that I am disposed to attach great importance to all these demonstrations. They represent a feeling which rises above all classes and distinctions of nation or of rank, and looks simply to the rights of the human race wherever they exist. That is an indication of progress all over the world, ,We in America , at this moment are going through a critical state; just as the Emperor of Russia, in his country, brought about a social change of the most radical character in the endeavor to relieve what is called the lowest class of the people fro m the burdens that had been entailed upon them from generations long ago. In America that struggle has a peculiar intensity and difficulty, because it is not simply in• terlaced with contemplated social changes, but be cause the principle has an affdliation with political power so intimate that it is hardly possible to sepa rate them without a social convulsion. It is. there fore, not at all surprising that, in the different stages of this struggle, you see the whole social sys tem rent and torn. - ..V8,934 35 3,486 00 But looking at it in a philosophical point of view, it seems to me nothing more nor less than we should expect under the circumstances, and it does not in any degree discourage me in my expectation that ultimately that great country will survive all these temporary difficulties, and will comeout of this struggle renewed and improved for a career here after more fortunate and more prosperous than. before. There has not bees a time since the founda tion of the Government of the United States that this evil has not loomed before the eyes of all public men. They have always looked forward to this peculiar state of things as the one which would bring with it- at some time or other the greatest danger to us: That time has now come. It was for the sake of postponing it that the well-meant efforts ..f i tywitlic men were directed for eilong period, -,Erinsmilm they really consulted die good o • effecting that postponement •so long. At any rate, be that as it may, the time has now come, and we arepasaing through - the stage of trial ; but I have no doubt that the sympathies of all honest men in all parts of , the world will contribute a great deal to soften the severity of those trialg,to the persons who are necessarily engaged lA. them. I phall give directions, gentlemen, that your address shall be forwarded to the United States by the steamer which will depart to-morrow. [From the Washington Chronicle.] The following letter from Thomas .lenrson has been sent us by a valued correspondent, who informs us that it never before been published. A more complete refutation of those sophists who have en deavored to enlist the words and writings of one of the greatest fathers of the Republic in the cause of slavery could scarcely be found. The terseness and vigor of the style, the prompt and unequivocal tes timony in favor of freedom, are Characteristic of the great framer of the. Declarition of Independence, and his thoughts are singularly applicable to the present time MONTICELLO, August 25, 1814. DEAR Sin : Your favor of July slat was duly re ceived; and was read with peculiar pleasure. The sentiments breathed through the whole do honor to both the head and heart of the writer. Mine on the subject of the slavery of negroes have long since been in the possession of the public, and time, has only served to give them stronger root. The love of jus tice and the love of country plead equally the cause of these people, and it is a mortal reproach to us that they should have pleaded it so long in vain, and should have produced not a single eject, nay, I fear, - not much seri ous willingness to relieve them and ourselves from our present condition of moral and political reprobation. From those of the former generation who were in the fullness of age when I came into public life, (which was while our controversy with England was on pa per only,)I saw that nothing was to be hoped. Nursed and educated in the daily habit of seeinthe,degraded condition, both bodily and mental, of those unfortu nate beings, but reflecting that that degradation was very much the Work of themselves and their fathers, few minds had yet doubted but that they were as le gitimate subjects of property as their horses or cat tle. The quiet and monotonous course of colonial life had been disturbed by no alarm, and little reflec tion on the value of liberty. And when alarm was taken at an enterprise of their own, it was not easy to carry them the whole length of the principles which they , had invoked for themselves. In the first or second sea sion'of the Legislature, after I became a member, I drew to this subject the attention of Colonel Bland, one of the oldest, ablest, and most respected mem bers, and he undertook to move for certain moderate extensions of the laws of the people. I seconded his motion, and as a younger member was no more spared In the debate ; but he was denounced as an enemy to his country and was treated with the greateit indecorum. From an early stage of our revolution other and:more die tent duties were assigned to me, so that from that time till my return from Europe in 1789, and I may say till I returned to reside at home, in 1809 I had little opportunity of knowing the progress of public sentiment here on this subject. I had always hoped that the younger generation, receiving their; early imprensions after the flame of liberty had been kin dled in every breast, and had become as it were the vital spirit of every American, that the, generous temperament of youth, analogous to the motion of their blood, and above the suggestions of avarice, would have sympathized with Oppyession wherever found, and would have proved `their lore of liberty beyond their own share of it. But my intercourse with them since my return has not been sufficient to , ascertain .that they made towards this:point the progress I had hoped. Your solitary but wet. come. voice is the first which has brought this Sound - to rtiY eau, and I have considered the general eilence which prevails on this subject, as indicating an anathvurdavorable to hope. Yet the hour of emancipation is advaridifig in the march of time. .It will come; and whether brought on the generous energy of our minds, or by the bloody process of Str Zoit ingo; excited and conducted by the power of our present enemy, if once stationed permanently within our country, offering asylum and arms to the op pressed, is a leaf of our history not yet turned over. As to the method by which this difficult work is to be effected, if permitted to be done liy_ourselvee, I have seen no proposition so expedient, on theiwholef AS that of emancipation •of those born after a given - dam, and of their education and expatriation at a proper age. This would give time for 'the gradual. extinction of that species of labor and substitution_ of another, and lessen "the severity of the shock which an operation so fundamental would produce.: The- idea of eman cipating the whole at once, the old as well as the - young, and retaining them here, is of those only who have not the guide either of knowledge or experience of the Subject. For men, probably of any color, but of this color we know, brought up from their infancy without necessity for thought or forecast, are by their habits rendered a s incapable as children of taking care of themselves, and, are extinguished promptly wher ever industry is necessary for raising the young. In the meantime they are pests in society by their idle ness and depredations to which this leads them. Their amalgamation with the other color produces a degradation. to which .no lover_ of country, no lover of excellence in human character can innocently consent. lam sensible Of the partiali ties with which you have looked towards me as the person who should undertake this salutary but arduous work. But this, my dear sir, is , like bid. ding, old Priam to buckle the armor, of Hector, " trementibus aevo humeris et inutile Jarman eregere." No I have outlived the generation with which mutual labors and perils begat mutual influence and confidence. Thls.enterprise is for the young ; for those who can follow it up, and bear it through its consummation. It shall have all my prayers, and these are the only weapons of an old man. ut in the meantime are you right in abandoning this pro perty and your country with it 1 I think not. My opinion has ever been' that, until more can be done for them, we should endeavor with those whom for tune has thrown on our hands, to feed and clothe them well, protect them from ill-usage, require such reasonable labor as is performed voluntarily by free men; and be led by no repugnances to abdicate them and our duties to them. The laws do not permit us to' turn them loose, if that were kir their . good, and to commute them for other property is to commit them to those whose usage we cannot 'control. I hope, then, you will, my' dear air, reconcile.your self _to your country and its unfortunate condition ; that you will not lessen its stock of sound disposi ,tion by withdrawing your portion from the mass ; that, on the contrary, you, come forward in the public 'councils; become the missionary of this doc trine, truly Christian; insinuate and inculcate it softly, but steadily, through the medium of writing and conversation; associate others in your labors, and:wheri the phalanx is formed, bring:on and press the proposition perseveringly until its accomplish ment.' It is an encouraging observation that no good measure was ever proposed which, if duly pursued, failed to_prevail in the end. - We have proof of this in the history of the endeavors in the British Parliament to suppress the very trade which brought the evil upon us. And you will be supported by the religious precept, "Be not weary in well doing." That your success may be as speedy and complete as it will be honorable and immortal - consolation to yourself, I shall as fervently and sincerely pray, as I aesuresolia.,any great friendship and respect. - 4 . 6 • THOMAS JEFFERSON, -131V1R.D ContSi Egg. „ crumismD WEEKLY. ) Jefferson on Slavery.
