EXPERIENCE OF A PHILADELPHIAN IN NASHVILLE
The SECESSION FEELING RAMPAST-PROvIsIoNs
ABUNDANT AND CHEAP-HATRED OF NORTHERN
MES-THE BLOCK ADE &c.
We had interview to-day with gentleman of
this city, who returned this morning from visit to
Tennessee. He went to Nashville and returned
without having excited any suspicion that he
Northern man. and in this way he escaped personal
annoyance, and enjoyed opportunities o. observa-
tou. He left Philadelphia on the I'd of July, and
proceeded direct to Louisville. From that city he
went by rail and on foot 10 Nashville, by a round
about route. In Louisville patty feeling very
high.
In consequence of the seizure of trains by the
Tennessee state authorities, the the Louis
Vile ard Nashville Railroad stop three miles
from the State line, on the ken,ucky side From
that point the passengers are compelled to make
their way into Tennessee in the best way they can,
and then proceed to aghve by roundabout way
through Bowling Green and Clarksvllle.
Our informant twenty-one hours in going
from Louisville to Nashville, distance that is
complished in eight hours in times of peace.
Near ClarkSville, Tennessee, there ia a camp
which is composed principally of kentucky seces-
soniss. There about two thousand men there.
Nashville is violently for secession. The Con-
federate flag floats from all the hotels and public
buildings and the secession madness has seized all
classes. The most intelligent deride the idea of any
solution for the difficulty, short of separation and
they pretend to believe that the Federal Admins
tration is levying of determination upon
them. They declare that they are fighting for
their homes, their tresdes, and for the honor Of
their wives and daughters. The military spirit
runs high in this part of Tennessee, and the sol
dieTs raised are generally hardy men. They are
well armed and equipped, but they suffer greatly
from the want of shoes. Boots and shoes are
scarce in Nashville, and the stock on hand is not
sufficient for three months. No trade is doing ex-
cept in war supplies. The latter are scarce. Pro-
visions are abundant and cheap.
Large quantities of army supplies are taken
across the Tennessee line from Kentucky me
goods are sent from the North directed 70 houts

Mrs Yeverton's novel, "Martyrs to Circum-
stances" is pronounced by London critics:
"The rhapsodizing rubbish of a love-raviDg
French boarding school mink, with considerable
spice of the fast woman of the werld. Every body
who paws the odd sixpence for it will have purcha-
sed the fee simpleton right to set up for MARTYR
| to Circumstances' too. There is not an hour
reading in it, and that is three-quarters OF hou
| more than il is worth The 'gentle-bleod' major il
ayepged-his enemy, his wife, has written book.
