The New York Times, gives the f,llowing
description OF tie proposed new ctpitol OF
the rebels
The city OF NashviIle-to which JEFF. now
proposes TO remove himself, mis- satellites,
his secretaries, his bureaux, and his Con-
gress, and where he proposes 10 fet up a
Government, which will probably las, for
some weeks yet--is the capitol OF he State
OF Tennessee, and is situated on The Cum
berand river, two hundred miles following
the windings The siTeam) above Is Juno
lion with the Ohio. The city is bu II chief
ly on The south side of the river, on the
slopes and at the foot of hill rising about
Two hundred feet above the water. The
city has (had) population of aboui 80, 900.
Among the other inducements for establish
ing The capitol here was doubtless the fact
OF It's beug great railroad center, as well
as having river navigation generally all the
year round There are five railroads radia-
ling from Nashyille-the Tennes see and
Alaoama, the Louisville and Nash sille, the
Edge6eld and Kentucky, the Nashville and
Chatsnooga, and the Nashville and North
Western. Steamboats, ascend from the
mouth of the Cumberland 10 Nashville. and
the river is nayigable by steamb boats of 1900
tons for fifty miles above the city, and by
smaller boats TO the falls, five hundred
miles. Unlike Richmond, Nashville is
remarkably healthy city, owing in part TO
the rocky site on which il is built As Davis
has shaken with the ague nearly half the
time he has been in Richmond, he will
doubtless be glad OF the chance TO be cured
OF that miserable disease, by cl ange OF

extracts from his address are short, but to
the point -
1T is a superficial view, therefore, Of the
present national crisis, which supposes that
this conflict can end and leave things as it
found them We must cross this
flood that swells and foams, or abandon the
national hope of a glorious future. The issue
already made between oppression and liberty
must be fought out to the end now, or re-
fought hereafter, under aggravated cireum-
stances .Slacerg re-eSta6bstc} and the same
consequences essentially tcoaeld foNo1g again.
6 Their is really no possible hopeful end to
this conflict bat the end Of slavery. There is
no such easy escape from our national troub-
Les as some seem to imagine = no prospect Of
the being short but by being useless, or
else by being radical and determined, and,
may add, in regard to false principles, most
unsparing- To propose, therefore, that the
Union shall survive and its glory and power
be triumphantly restored and perpetuated is
virtually TO doom slavery to speedy extinc-
ton. The preservation Of tie UIaoa and Tie
destruction Of s'acery are 1tseprra5le aye ide,,-
tical oc: md lie aobo rotes for tie one neessari-
IN rot4s for tie other.
Il have not thought it necessary to show
that, undcr existing circumstances. we are re-
leased from all legal or moral obligations to
tolerate slavery in the land, if the safety of
the nation demands its extinction. The case
is TOO plain for doubt"

days since that the paymaster had received
funds from Washington for that purpose.
We rejoice that the difficulty was settled

they are called to operate, they will do
