THE SLAVERY on tsTION IN KEN
IUSKx.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 30, 1851.
(Cor. Cincinnati, Commerctal) The Pres
ident's forthcoming message is looked for in
this State with extraordinary interest, ow-
ing to the expected enunciation of a well
defined policy of the Government in regard
to the treatment of the slavery question.
There is not much difference of opinion 10
Kentucky as to what it should be. While
there are minds elevated and disinterested
enough to recognize the fact that slavery is
the true and direct ca lse of this war, and
that the struggle for the preservation of the
Union is sacrifice on the part of the count
~, for which it can only be Unidentified by
the absolute stoppage of this ever flowing
source of past and present evil, it cannot be
denied on the other hand, that the majority
of the so called Uniosists of this State are
afflicted with what you classically term the
"asphyxianigrum." Their political motto is
not exactly the "nigger first, and then the
Union" bDt the Union with the niger, and
perhaps, no Union without him. Their
opinion Is that this civil war is waged for
the vindication of the integrity of the Con-
stitution and laws, and that as slavery is
Identified with them, Its preservation should
also be included in the results of q success
full issue of the contest. However growing
the conviction OF the Northern mind as to
the justice and necessity of Kidding the
country from the incubus of slavery, it is
but true that the same question is still con-
sidered in the light of dollars and cents in
Kentucky, and that the idea of emancipa-
ton is still entertained with the old reluct-
ance. Should the Administration
recommend measures to Congress looking
to the emancipation of the slaves Of the
rebellious States, | am inclined to think
that many If not most of the Unionists
would join the secession caust, if they still
considered it prospectively succ .ssful.
Much OF this selfish sensitiveness upon tie
slavery question is due 10 the influence of
the two dailies of this city. Neither of
these has as yet ventured to express what

A HAPPY CorNcIDENcE.--A short time
ago, as large hearted Union lady, resident
in Covington, Kentucky, wife of a gentle
man of the same character, and distributing
lot Of fine apples, of which she had a
half bushel basket full, to the soldiers en-
camped back of that city, she gave an ap-
pie to ole soldier of a group who exhibited
peculiar emotion as she handed it to him,
observing at the same time that it was a
pleasant thingoto receive gifts from lady.
AT this she asked him whether he had q
wife, and Immediately his eyes filled with
tears and rolled down his cheeks as he re-
piled, ayes, madam, have wife and six
children" Observing his emotion, her
own eyes rapidly filling at the sight, she
quietly remarked to him: swell, keep up
a good heart" "Good Heart! yes, madame,
that's my name; Goodheart is my namer'
Upon the instant their tears we're changed
to smiles, and Goodheart, the lady, and the
soldiers companion, broke out into hearty

DOOMED CIrIEs-THE STONE FLEET.-A
dispatch from Washington gives assurance
that the stone feet has gone on the very
mission toward which general hope spon-
taneously pointed-the closure of the
ports Of Charleston and Savannah ! As
this novel expedition sailed from New
London and New Bedford, now seven
DAYS ago, and the weather has been highly
propitious during the whole time, it is
probable that it has already done its work,
and that five and twenty old hulks, with
their stony burdens and scuttled broad
sides, have obliterated for years to come
the entree to those cursed cities bv the sea.

wonderfully gratifying in this silent, resist

their editors cannot help considering true,
viz: that the Union is worth more than
slavery that the whole cannot q, be sacrificed
to parts that nationality will be preserved
even at the expense of existing laws. As
to their efforts to deny the origin OF this
war in slavery, Northern opinion is so well
made up on this subject, that they will hard
ly affect the final points of the case: The
Daily Democrat has so far committed itself
against anything like policy of emancipa-
ton in the rebel States, that, should it be
made the policy OF the Government, 1t must
consistently become an opponent OF the war
and link its fortunes to those of Buckner 81
Go. However, the rejected aspirations of
one of its editors to the United States Sen
ate may have had something to do with the
Democrats late championship in niggerism,
and be only polite adaptation to circum-
stances

REVOLUTION I'm PUBLIC OPINION.
Obrresposder,ce Of the Neao Fork Tribune.

PHILADELPHIA, NOV. ~, 1861.
One of the wonders Of the day may be
said to be the unanimity prevailing among
all classes of thinkers touching the impera-
tive necessity of the Government of the
Army proclaiming general emancipation
of the slaves, as the shortest, sharpest and
most effective means of crushing the REBEL
ion. This community was not ripe for such
measure six months ago; but it has been
constantly gravitatiDg in that direction, and
is not only ready to accept it, but is be-
ginning to demand it as the one thing need
ful. While the recent elections were pend
ing there was some show of restiveness
against it, but it was merely the old COM
monplace clap-trap of the party hacks, re-
vived for the occasion, and now dead as a
door nail The public mind may be said to
be made up on this question Emancipation
must come-this Government is not strong
enough to maintain the Union and Slavery
also. One or the other must 60 to the wall.
But how the latter is to be sacrificed for the
preservation of the former-who is to have
sufficient nerve and consistency to cut the
knot-how or when it is to be done-stil
remains the great problem.

just been gravely decided that q Slavery

THE GLOBE ONE VAST BRAIN.

At the late meeting of the British Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF Science IN
Manchester, Telegraphic Sofree was held
in the large Free Trade Hail. at which were
present all the most distinguished men con
nected with telegraphs in the kingdom. A
great variety of instruments were exhibited
showing constant progress in the mechan-
ical part OF the science; and to test the pow
er of the batteries to send message to any
distance, the Continental lines were connect,
ed, so that message could traverse the
whole of Europe with interruption. With
what result, the following record, which WE
take from the Mechanics Magazine, of Lon.
don, will show.
At P. NJ, messages are exchanged with
the Hague; at 8:l0 P. NJ. with Hamburg;
and at 500 p. NJ. with Berlin. At Sol p.
NJ, message regarding the weather was sent
to St. Petersburg, and at $50 the answer
was returned. At 1855 the second question
about the temperature was sent to st. Peters
burg, and at 1857 the reply was received.
At sos P. NJ, St. Petersburg joined up
the Manchester and Moscow lines, when
Manchester put the following questions TO
Moscow.
Message-"9:06 P. M.--Please say what
weather you have, and also your time"
Reply--"9:07 Mt is raining. 1t is
sc ninutes past H."
At 9:l7 P. NJ, Moscow joined up the
Manchester and Odessa lin es, when the fol-
lowing correspondence ensured;
Message-"9:l8 P. M.-Manchester asks:
What is your weather and timer"
Reply-"9:20 P. M.-Weather cool, but
very clear. Windy. G minutes past IL.
Message-"9:2l P. M.-Manchester asks:
is the harvest overY
(Here is rather long interval, the Odes-
sa clerk having been called away from his
instrument)
Repy-"9:32 P. M.--'fhe harvest is over,
and the grapes are now in season."
From Odessa the line was extended to
Nicolaief on the northwest coast of the
Black Sea; and but for a storm raging,
which interfered with the currents of electric.
ity, it would have been extended to Tagan-
rog, on the northeast coast of the Sea OF
Azof, a distance Of 300 miles. Such were
the immense spaces traversed by the electric
spark sent from the Hall in Manchester
where the British Association was assem-
bled.
The effect therefore must be, in the
course of time, to bring all parts of the
earth into almost instant communication; in
fact to make the whole globe One VAsr

At Beaufort no further pillaging has been

day, large quantities of cotton were
discovered at plantations on the river, and

THE NEGROES AT PORT ROYAL.

The correspondence from Hilton Head
has the following in regard 10 the negroes
One of the most remarkable features oil
the new life in South Carolina, is afforded
By the negroes. Black servants have been
hired by many of the officers, as walters and
washerlnen and women. Black gangs have
worked on the shore, or been used as oars
men; blacks have served as scouts and
guides in the reconnaissance. Crowds OF
the women and children may be seen 10
various paris of the camps, but especially
near headquarters, where they inhabit their
old huts still. There they receive their
rations, there they build fires to cook their
food or to do their washing, and cluster into
odd-looking groups, picturesque for all their
squalor. The men and boys join them at
night, and always, after supper, in dilapi-
dated clubhouse, is held a prayer-meeting.
| listened outside, last night, and heard ard
ent calculations of thanksgiving for the
favorable chance God haa given to "my
colored bruddren." The jargon was ab
surd, but it was earnest: the singing was

At Beaufort, where not few seemed sad
at the pillaging that occurred, yet even these
declared they had long prayed for our COM
ing. They laughed at the idea of our injur.
ing them, which all declared their masters
had endeavored to instil. The fact that
they receive pay for their labor seems es-
