BS- In reference to the FIRE at Nashville,
noticed in our telegraph dispatches, the Louis.
vile Courier of Monday says:
"We learn that tremendous connagration
occurred in Nashville, Tennessee, about one
o'clock yesterday morning. A large building,
in which was placed on immense amount Of
saddles, blankets, tents, camp equipage, &C.,
intended for the Tennessee troops, was entirely
destroyed by FIRE. The loss is estimated at
from 100000 to $l50,OOO, bat we think it is
exaggerated. The building was fred in sew.
eral places, and, beyond doubt, it was the act
of Abolition incendiaries"

A SOUTHERN OPINION OF NORTHERN MEN
AND THE WAR.-The Richmond (va.) Exam.
iner says:
"All the benefits and advantages of long
war sink into insignifcance when compared
with the certain good that will result from hav
ing nothing hereafter to do with the sensual
and in6del literature Of the North nothing to
do with its counterfeit manufactures, nor its
knavish trade nothing to do with its free loves,
agrarians, and anarchists; nothing to do with
the thieves, cutthroats, lazaroni, and pauper
banditti Of New York and, best Of all, nothing
to do with the Yankee, halEnomad, halfJesuit,
who iniests, cheats, and disturbs society, civil.
lied and savage, in every corner Of the world.
As mischievous and prolific as the Norway rat,
he stealthily insinuates himself into every coun.
try, and depredates on society in annually in
creasing geometrical ratio, because he breeds
and multplies in geometrical ratio. The South
now has hundreds of thousands of these vsga.
bond nomadic, ,hievish gypsylike Yankees
within her confines but we hope the South
will soon become too hot to hold them"

OF THE NEGRO.

hSf Vt INV.
The refugees from Portsmouth, (Na.,) who
arrived at New York by the steamer Keystone,
reported, that in some few instances slaves had
been armed there, aud we're performing duty
., soldiers. As We observed several days ago,
this will become general, If this war is pro-
tracted. 1t takes some little time, even in
these rapid days, to accustom the public to
new things and new IDEAS and where negro
men have been recently selling for fifteen hun.
dred dollars apiece, their employment q, soldiers
must be q novelty. But as they become more
and more unsslesble, their capacity 70 fight
will be more thought Of. They are hardy, do
cile, and courageous, and specially fitted to
endure the heats Of the region in which this
war is to be waged. 1t does not matter that
the war originated in the desire to make sla.
very more profitable and secure. Wars are
frequently continued for objects for which they
we're net commenced, and, in the end, this will
be . war for the political power and lives of
the conspirators, and they will sacrifice slavery
as readily as anything else, for the paramount
object Of saving themselves.
A war cannot be wsged in the South, in
which half the population, and physically the
most vigorous half, shall take no part.
The difficulties in St. Domingo commenced
With triangular fight between the whites, the
free colored, and the French Government All
these parties began BY declaring their deter
mination to do nothing to affect the status Of
the slaves, and they all ended by getting as
many Of the slaves into their military ranks, a.
they could persuade to enter them by promises
Of liberty.
Slaves are already attached 70 the Southern
armies, in large numbers, as servants and Ia
borers. There is great deal Of hard work to
be done in war, and the Southern people are
accustomed to have their work Of all kinds done
BY slaves. They have q picture in the Ne"
York printshops, Of a virginian on the field oi
battle. He is seated in rocking chair, with
one negro to rest his gun on, another negro to
keep the flies off, and another negro to hand
him his successive cocktails. In this admira
bic position, he is supposed to be shooting
down the "abolitionists at prodigious rate.
This is an exaggeration and caricsture Of that
dependence upon the negro, in which the gen
uine virginisn, Of the 6rst families, lives and
dies, and which is as great in war, as in peace.
Gen. Butler decides that where negroes, made
use Of, or capable Of being made use Of, BY the
enemy. for military labors, come into his lines
he will make use Of them himself for the same
labors, unless they are claimed by some owneI
who is q citizen of the United States, acknowl
edging fealty to them, and ready to take al
oith Of allegiance.
While the Southern States, or any Of them
are in the attitude Of an enemy's country, wt
can only deal with their populations, white and
black, upon the commonsense principle o.
taking advantage Of all disafections, and o.
receiving cheerfully any aid from anybody who
| will offer it.

Griffin, superintendent Of these important works.
The rollors we're made some days ago. The

The guns are very nearly like the Armstrong

appearance Of q stnb.and.twisted rife. The
files are so constructed that the fibre Of the
iron runs round the barrel, rendering the gun
almost impossible to burst. The guns will be
furnished with the celebrated Hotchkiss shot
and shell. The twelve-pounders will throw q
