The slavery Question in Tennessee

The Nashville correspondent Of the
World writes very interesting letter
about the remarkable speech which
Mr.. Etheridge gave at Nashville a
few days ago to a crowded audience.
We make the following extracts.
"But the huge thing of the speech
was its declaration, in this proud slave
capital, that whenever the question
arose, the Constitution or slavery,
slavery must so downfall every
negro would beliberated. He declared
emphaticallY that slavery would never
be allowed to embarass the United
States Government or to protract the
war.
The sentiments were announced eX-
.plicitly and emphatically, and were re-
ceiyed with as much enthusiasm as
they conId have been in Boston. l
turned to gentleman by my side, with
the old remark, the world moves
And so it does.
Mr. Etheridge also said that this
war had made more abolitionists than
all the thirty years of anti-slavery agi-
tation, and that slavery could never
have the security it once had in this
country. With the whole civilized
world against it, the Government Of
the United States had sheltered and
protected it.
lie said slavery was much more
easily defended as peynejsSiUs than
as an aggressive thing. You have
got to live in the Union with your
slaves if you will, without them if you
must
He specified the nations of the earth
that had abolished it. He proved it
an outlaw. These points were put
and pressed with fine force and frank
ness that amazed me, accustomed as l
have been to the public reserve and,
caution on this question of questions
in the southern country dnring all my
life.
Etheridge is a STAKEHOLDER. So are
hundreds OF others III this State who
breathe freely and talk frankly on this
important Banquo's ghost Of negro
bondage.

Mr. Etheridge, then confscation and

that they would be nightly glad to

in praise of President Lincoln's late

them, brought up with them, and have
always owned them; but I confess to

Death of Bishop Meade, of Virginia.

The RI Rev. William Meede, DID,,
Bishop of the Episcopal Church in
Virginia, died about ten days ago, at
his residence, near Wildwood, Clark
county, in that state. He was about
seventy-three years of age;he was born
in Clark county, graduated at Princes
ton College, had been minister in the
Episcopal Church fifty years, and g
Bishop thirty years. He was the foun-
der and President Of the Episcopal
Seminary in Alexandria, and had been
pastor successfully at Wildwood, Nor>
folk, and Alexandria. He was an elo-
quent and popular preacher. His hab-
its were remarkably simple. He had
been an earnest supporter of the colo>
nization scheme, and some years since
emancipated his own slaves and. colo
nized them. At the commencement of
the national disturbance Bishop Meade
deprecated disunion, aud made fervent
appeals to avert q civil war. but when
Virginia seeded he linked his interests
with those of his State. He some years
since wrote and publisher work, in
two volumes, on the "Old Churches
and families of Virginia, " and about
two years ago a large work, called %
'The Bible and the Classics" This
was the last work OF his pen.

notice that both these gentlemen used pointers TO
aid them in drawing their figures. FefhaPs 'iielr
hands were unsteady because of the number OF
strangers present. The demonstrations were g"od'
tbouoh not so rigid and clear as have heard from
| the same class Oh ordinary occasions
The exercises of the forenoon wound up with a
smelling lesson from the little class before men,
toned This was TO me most interesting feature.
/ have never heard class spell letter in aay
school. 1 believe if you had called upon any
member Of the class to pronounce the lesson wlth-
out the book, it would have been done.
The exercises of the afternoon consisted of read
ing and declarations az is usual on Friday after
noons. The gcntlenan's declamations were very
patriotic, be-peaGing tervent interest IN our
country welfare, and were well learned and spo-
ken The young ladies compositions were very
good, bu. tIge5 with Il SHADE # sadness that they
were 80 soon to part with their noble teacher, to
whom all are much attached. There were quite a
number of dialogues, in some of which the ladies
participated Among others was the " Model
School, in which we saw the whispering, pinch
ing. plaving with strings and tickling which we
remember To nave seen so often in the dim long
ago" Besides the compositions, the scholars had |
q paper, edited and read by TIVE young ladies'. IL
was quite lengthy, and showed the interest Of the
scbolars in their work. After the paper, the gen |
tIemeu present from abroad were invited to speak.
Some Of the Committee gave very good account |
Of the finances of the school, showing that though
the measles have ragged in the place, the school |
has not been materially injured. Mr.. RICE read |
an abstract report Of the department and punctu-
atty Of the scholars, and noticed that those who |
lived farthes5 away had the best report One
young lady in particular who lives two and a half
miles away, had perfect report, which was high
Iy creditable
Mr.. Rice then made few concluding remarks
to schoars ana patrons and school vas closed
The glistening eyes and quiyeclng lips Of the
scholars told hoy much they felt. Never was
oucher more loved than lie. I never have seen
school where patrons, teacher end scholars seem
ID SO united as ters. As the teacher moved around
among his late pupil, giving each the "schooroom
grip for the last time, I could not help thinking
hat perhaps if the people of Salem let Ills teach
r 20 they would have to search long and far and
heu would not fad his equal.

back and fog you; if you get out OF
my sight, I'll not stir step after YOU
Sir he continued, the owner is the
slave in the border States. Free white
labor is the best for all concerned"
IL Upon expressing my surprise at such
sentiments, I was told theyswere moth
ing unusual in this State.
While such are the words that come
up to us from genuine Union men of
Tennessee, how many men are there
in the North who are so timid or so
blindly devoted to slavery that they
dare not speak like the manly Ether
idge? He is not afraid to proclaim in
the very capital of a slave State that
if the contest reduces itself to one be-
tween the Union and slavery, then
the latter must go down here as it has
gone in so many lands.

MIR. B sad he did not offer this resolution
with the idea OF exciting discussion, or taking
up the time, He considered it highly proper
that there should be some expression on the
subject. The resolutions were nearly ident

The ayes and noes were called.
Mr.. IL. l.. Palmer who was standing near
his seat when he resolution was offered and
read walked aimbly down the aisle and stepped

DRowNED.--Mr. Samuel Mcconnell, so
we'll known as machinist and gas filter in
the employ of the Gas Company, was
drowned at Carver, on Saturday night. Mr..
Mcconnell went Up on the Antelope on
Saturday, for the purpose of repairing her
machinery After arriving at Carver, some
time in the night, be had occasion to 60
upon the steamer Ariel, laying along side,
and 10 walking on the deck of the Antelope
with that intention, his foot caught in some
projection, and be fell forward over the guard
and between the two boats, and down into
the deep water and before those who were
standing by could realize the fact, bis body
was carried under the boat, and never rose
again to the surface.
Mr.. Mcconnell was an estimabIe Young
man, faithful and attentive to his business,
a skiiful workman, and upright and honor
able in all his dealings. He leaves loving
wife and two children to grieve over their
fearful bereavement.
