Union street has, for many years, been
considered the street of Nashville. 1t has
had ain sst every kind of house or it, but
one, and that was a barber shop. This
want is felt no longer. A very elegant shop
of this kind has been opened at Greig's old
stand, by JOHN SFEPLEToN, who has employ
cd those knights OF the razor, Ed. WOODS,
CALVIN SWAN and JAMES HILL, the last q
"musicianer" who is renowned amongst the
lovers of the dance. This shop il in a con.
venient location, and will, we have no doubt,
be extensively patronized.

In auditing the accounts of Mr.. Deseon,
one of our late consuls, balance of four
hundred and sixty dollars was found to be
his due. As he is native of Carolina, and
shares the sentiments of that State, draft
on Charleston for the amount was forwarded
to him in settlement.-YanEee Paper.
Such an exhibition of contemplate, mean
ness is worthy and characteristic of the
Yankees. If they honestly owed Mr.. D.,
why not pay him fairly instead of giving
draft on a party they knew would not hon.

from the New York Journal of Commerce.
The newspapers have published most ex-
aggerated accounts of the coming. in of
slaves at Port Royal From several gen.
tlemen who have recently returned from
that port we learn facts which are to be re-
lied on as true. The negroes have come to
the fort to sell provisions, poultry, &c, and
their supplies have been bought. Others
have come from curiosity, and loitered
around awhile, going away again when
they pleased. About one hundred and thir-
ty remain in the fort, having been en-
ployed to work, receiving rations and eight
dollars q month. The total number that
have come in on any aud every pretext does
not exceed three hundred and fifty. No in
dication has been given of any desire to
accept liberty as permsnency. Their at
tachment to their masters and the families
to which they belong does not seem to be
diminished, and there are large numbers
probably thousands of them-in the neigh
borhood who have not come into the fort at
all No reliance is placed on any informa-
ton they give. The army officers appear to
think there is some reason for the Southern
law Of excluding negro testimony. The
remark is very common that negro will
answer question precisely as he thinks
you want him to, unless he has an end of
his own to serve, when that viii determine
his reply. The idea of putting muskets
into the hands of such men as the slaves of
Port Royal is considered ridiculous as a
military proposition, and can be regarded
only in the light of proposal to incite
them to murder their masters and mis-
tresses, which no one who has seen them
believes they would do. 1t is said that a
| visit to South Carolina has already opened
the eyes of many gentlemen, of former
abolition incInations, to some new facts in
slavery.

THE EXTINCTION OF SLAVERY.

Now indeed is the Old Dominion divided,
and issue Joined on the great question of
this age. In the Convention in session in
the rebel capital, body hard at work de-
stroying the liberties of the people, it has
just been gravely decided that "Slnuery is
an efectuaI barrier 10 Gaagonisnl bet0een
capital and labor" and their action
is to be based on this idea. West of
the mountains, in the Convention of the new
State of Kanawhs, as will be seen in our
Wheeling dispatch, q blowhas been struck
upon this ''6arrier" which will cause it to
tremble. These are grave ad weighty words
that tell us of an actual proposition in a
slave community, to emancipate gradually
but surely every slave within the bounda.
ries of Kanawha, and add to it the list of
free States. Loyal men will be compen-
stated for their property, and the adjust
ment of the new sytem made easy. The
slaves of rebels sViH be confscated. The lat
ter proposition also engages the Legisla-
ture of Kentucky, now in session, as
stated in our last issue. Let the
friends of freedom thank God, and take
courage these tokens thus initiated in States
whose soil has been and is cursed with HUI
man Chattelism. In Eastern Virginia the
barbaric tendency has reached its limit in
8 deliberate attempt to introduce and legal
ize serfdom. West cf the Blue Ridge the
clouds are breaking away. The great
question Of Emancipation is now fairly
preached. "Who is on the Lords side,
who ?"

Mr.. Lincoln pays great respect to the
opinions of Mr.. Holt in all that he does in
reference to Kentucky. A day or two since
a Kentucky Republican, moderate and
most worthy man, asked a small favor of
Mr. Lincoln, and was referred to Mr.. Joseph
Holt. ''If he says you ought to be attended
to, Will do so,'' was the reply of the Pres
ident. The man went away somewhat in
dignant, especially as Mr.. Holt is his old
political adversary.

captains who had won distinction at Trafal-
gar and the Nile, Captains Falcon and
Douglas. After the Constitution had taken
both ships, and their captains were on board
the Constitution, a coolness existed between
them in consequence of the capture. Each
one accused tie other Of bearing out the
action and leaving the brunt to hisassociate.
This question they agreed to leave to me,
and | settled in a moment. 1t was you,
Capt. Douglas said TO the senior officer.
who first bore out of action They were
satisfied ard shook hands together. While
they were further discussing the matter and
deploriug their defeat, said /, .Gentlemen,
did you expect to take the Constitution with
those two ships? Why, when you went on
board Of them this morning and said they
were in as good order as before the action.
Now, if you like, win send you back to
them, give you your men and officers. and
take you both over again. Take the Con-
stitution with two ships Why, you couldn't
do it with dozen. This is the Constitu-
ton of the United States. You may sink
it, and sink us with it, but you couldn't take
it with all yopr KINGS fept' So afraid Wera

until the Cyane was ready 10 sail in CON-
