Tie Free Nation.

The editor Of the Free Nation informs Us,
that he is not in favor of servile iusurrec-
ton, and that, in his columns, in his pulpit,
and in his public addresses he has invariably
declared himself decidedly against this
method of freeing the negroes as the " orst
possible even for the slaves themselves.
We do not remember 10 have seen or heard
Of such declaration; but being unable to
affirm that it has not been made, we feel i'm.
PEELED by sense Of justice to give him the
benefit of the denial.
But the editer OF the Free Nation does not
deny that he has admitted into his paper ar.
ticles strongly urging the propriety or the
necessity, on the part of the Government, of
the plan of proclaiming an universal eman-
CipatioD, and of encouraging the servile
population of the South to rise against the
white; and this under circumstances calcu-
lated to lead the reader to suppose that their
sentiments were in accordance with his own.
An editor does not, in general, admit into
his paper elaborate original articles, and
those not controversial ones, presenting idea;
90 widely at variance with his own, without
accompanying them with some sort of dis
avowaI. If be does so, how can he escape
the conclusion that, at least in secret, he con
ours in their suggestions? The question in
Yolved is not one of such small Importance
that it is safe to play the game of fast and
loose upon it and ii the editor is as he says
from serious conviction, opposed TO the in
surrectionary process, his conduct in giving
publicity and prominence to such articles is
even less justifable than had he entertained
the opposite opinion. If the views which he
processes to hold are right, the others, being
the opposite, are not matter of Indifference.
They are wrong-they are of exceeding
wickedness. They have no proper place in
his journal; and he can not put them there
without incurring, in the court Of conscience,
and in the opinions of just men, response
bility such as we, sinner as we are, would
dread 10 assume.

JEFF. Thompson yesterday took $l00, coo
from the Bank of Charleston, Mo.
ST. LOUIS, September 2.-The Democrat
has advices direct from General Thompson's
camp at Benton, Scott Coun y, to the ef-
feet that ell the rebels having baggage at
that and other points, are being hastily re-
moved to New Madrid, and that Thompson
and Hardee's forces would attempt to effect
junction and fall back on Sikeston, the
terminus of the Cairo and Fulton Railroad,
where it is supposed they would make a
stand and give General Printiss battle. The
combined strength of Thompson, Hardee
and Pillows forces is estimated at thirty
thousand.
Reports were current yesterday and to-
day that General Prentiss had slrprised o
camp of Missouri rebels near Bloomfield,
Stoddard County, and taken eight hundred
and fifty prisoners without firing gun, but
they need confirmation.
Private dispatches announce that Provost
Marshal MeKinstry has been promoted to q

Card from Hon n. II. Nelson.

Hon. 4. r. Nelson comes out in card
relative to his recent conduct, from which
we take the following extract;
While / did not promise allegiance or act
i've support to the Southern Confed1rscy, aud
will not advise you to assume any obligas
tiOns contrary to your convictions of duty,
feel perfectly free to sag that the failure of
the Government Of the United States for four
long months 10 sustain US ia cur position, Is its
apparent inability TO do so, since The battle Of
MOnGSSds, GOithin any reasonable time; the
deliberate action of our State 10 the August
election; the assurances of public men that
no test Oaths or drafting measures will be
adopted or required; the mutual hatred
which has grown up between the antagO.
nistic sections of the Union, and the recent
| coD6scation laws which have been either
| adopted or proposed on both sides, as well
as other causes, have painfully impressed my
| own mind with the belief that, unless some
wonderful and improbable change is effected,
our beloved Union is gone forever, and it is
our policy and duty to submit to result
which, however we may deplore 1t, seems to
| be inevitable.
Aware that my advice as we'll as my
motives may be liable 10 misconstruction, |
would still most respectfully recommend to
my friends the propriety of abstaining from
| all further opposition or resistance to the
Confederate authorities or the action of our
own State, and should this be done, although
have no authority to speak for them, am
satisfied that no military power will be ex-
erted among us, except such as may be in
dispensably necessary to retain military pos
session of East Tennessee. And TO those oI
our citizens who have gone beyond the limits
Of the State, either through fear or the pur'
pose of arming themselves to resist a course
of action which is disavowed in General
Folks letter, think can safely say, With.
out arrogance, that from the course which
was adopted toward me, they would risk
nothing by returning TO the State and sub
mitting to result which they in vain en-
dsavored to prevent.

SECESSION MEETING IN INDIAEAPoLIs.--The
following is one Of the resolutions passed at
the late Secession meeting in Indianapolis,
an account of which was given in the tele-
graphic reports. Not a sentiment in con.
demnation of the Confederates was e1-
pressed;
"That the Government, resting for its
main support on public opinion, and its best
boud of union being fraternal feeling, and
not fear, the union of the States can only be
permanently maintained by moral and not
physical force"

communication addressed to The E1change,
ny gentleman OF this city, and published in an
other column, takes exception to the system Of
musical education as taught in our public schools.
pS0pIe DaItriior6 are taxed to
the extent OF eighteen hundred dollars year for
a branch of education that really accomplishes
nothing, 1t is time that either better system were
adopted, or that the money now expended for mu-
steal purposes should be saved to The civ treas
ury. During the seventeen years that music has
been professedly taught in our common schools, it
mas cost our tax payers over thirty thousand dol.
lars; and, In no instance that has come within
our knowledge, has any appreciable benefit been
derived from the outlay. After course of in
struction, continued, in the case of many of the
scholars, for period Of seven years, they leave
school with no more knowledge of the fun
damental principles of the science than when
they entered it. Why is this? Why is it
that the same pupils who leave these insti-
utions with good solid literary education,
are so utterly deficient as regards their mu
steal attachments? They have taken regu-
lary their semi-weekly lessons in music, and
have learned to sing certain number of tunes:
but there is scarcely one of them who can
read piece of music at sight, and it would GER
tainly be difficult to organize from among the
whole number really efficient choir COR any one
of our numerous churches. Where this Ignorance
is so general, it must be evident that the mode of
tuition is comparatively worthless, or that the
fault must arise either from want of skill in the
instructors, or from singular and unaccountable
ODtuSeQeSs rt nf no boI:
that the root of the difficulty lies in the system
Itself. The children are taught by rote They
know little or nothing of principles and rules
Ihey simply repeat what they hear and of course,
when called upon to sing the simplest piece of music
from the netes, they are utterly unable TO do so.
There are hundreds of pupils who are taught vocal
as well as instrumental music in the private educa
honal establishments of this city, and who if nut
TO similar, or even far more diff
cult test would respond promptly and ac-
curately. We see, therefore, no reason whv, if
vocal music is to be made a branch Of study in
our common schools, those who are professedly in
structed in it should not become quite as proficient
as those who are taught elsewhere As they GER
tanly are not, and as it is moreover, clear. from
the experience of the past seven years that they
never will be- under the present system. it is high
time that better and more perfect plan of tuition
should be adopted, or that the musical feature
should be dropped altogether. We should inf
nley prefer that the former course should be pur-
sued, and that the suggestions of the most intelli-
gent musical professors in this city should be so-
cited as to the plan which would best combine
simplicity with thoroughness

In his annual message, in January 1860, Mayor
SWAMI referred in terms of COMMUNICATION to the
new Jail which had just then been completed The
building, he said, was "not surpassed by any in
this country" the work having ''been executed
IN most faithful and skiful manner" and in
spirit of becoming liberality towards the city.'
These fine phrases, like most of the other fine
phrases which the quondam Mayor was wont to
use when addressing his faithful partisans or
speaking of his or their achievements, lacked tho
essential quality of truth. The work had not been
either 'skilfully'' or faithfully" executed. On
the contrary, 1t has now been made manifest that
the city has been egregousy swindled. and ,ho
late Mayor, and the disreputable noliticion, ,rho
shared the profit and glory of his admns,,a,;a .O
must be content TO divide the responsibility and dis
grace which will hang forever hencefortb around
it. For political purposes, they tolerated
rascality in almost every shape, and as the CON
sequences of their misdeeds are being dav nv aev
exposed, justice demands that the delinanent.
also should be, at the same time, held up to
public condemnation. That the city has been
cheated in the construction of the Jail is not
strange, for frauds could be then committed
almost with immunity. Before the founda-
tons of the building were laid it was discovered
that gigantic fraud was being perpetrated. The
City Council knew it, and almost all the political
friends of the contractor in that body, endorsed it.
The fact that parties were equally divided in the
Second Branch alone prevented the passage of an
ordinance approving the course of the con-
tractor and increasing the expense of the build
ing to nearly half million dollars. Mr. SWAMI
was cognizant of the Ubiquitous scheme, and
not only refreined from taking any active step to
defeat it but affected to DO ignorant Of the trans
