Nashville.

Nashville, the capitol of Tennessee, is
situated on the left or West bank OF the
Cumberland river, some 800 miles by
the course of the stream from its mouth !;
2O6 miles southwest of Lexington, KY,
and 6S4 miles from Washington city,
| Many of the private residences arc erect
ed on scale of palatal magnitude and
spendor, and the public buildings exhib-
it corresponding character. The sub
urbs abound with picturesque scenery,
enriched with beautiful groves of cedar.
The city was originally laid out in lots of
an acre each, with reservation of four
acres for public buildings. The bounda
ries have since been enlarged. The new
capitol, which stands on a commanding
eminence, 175 feet above the river, is one
of the most noble, magnificent and costly
structures in America. The material is
fine limestone, which was quarried on
the spot, and nearly resembles marble.
The dimensions are lao feet by l65, and
The estimated cost 5 100000. 1t is built,
as it is stated, entirely of stone ard iron,
without any wood in, except the plank on
which the copper roofing is fastened
The floor and inner walls are of dressed
stone. A lunatic asylum, on a large
scale, has recently been erected in the VI
cin;ty. The State Penitentiary at this
place is SIG feet by SO. containing 200
cells. The University was opened ill
1851, it occupies spacious building, and
has upward of $50 students. There are
also number of female seminarles, the
largest of which is attended by more
than three hundred pupils.
There were fifteen newspapers publish
ed there, six of them daily. Nashville
contains three banks, with capital of
s5,1s2, 500, and fifteen churches repre-
sentipg the various religious denomina-
tons. The mineral cabinet of the late
DR.. Troos, contains the largest private
collection in the United States. The city
is lighted with gas. The Cumberland
river is crossed by magnificent wire sus-
pension bridge built at cost of $780,
900. Water is supplied by being raised
from the Cumberland river. Six rail
roads now centre at Nashville, atfording
communication with many desired points.
1t is the terminus of the Nashville and
Chattanooga railroad, $50 miles long,
when was finished in 1852, at the ex-
pense of about S3,O00,00G. The road
is built $50 miles in very substantial
manner, and completes the connection
with Charleston and Savannah. The
commerce of Nashville is very extensive,
ammounting annually to over 5000 tom
mage, composed of steamboats, navigating
the Cumberland river, engaged IN the
conveyance of passengers, the traffic OF
goods and produce. Extensive manu-
featuring establishments arc in successful
operation at this place, among which may
be mentioned a powder mill, the Tennes-
see Iron Works, just below the city on
the Cumberland river, which are as ex-
tensive and equal in capacity to any in
the United States foundries aud machine
shops. The population of Nashville, at
the present time, is about $4,000.

Gradual Emancipation.

A special message of President Lin
coln, introduced in Congress on the 9th
inst, recommending the adoption of
measures encouraging the gradual aboli-
ten of slavery in the United States, will
hfound in another column.
The President proposes no interference
With the peculiar institutions of the
States, but it is to be a voluntary act on
their part. The action of Congress is to
'scilitate, not to force, emancipation.
The particulars, as to time and mode,are
to be left entirely with the States. 1t is
tobe regarded as the last blow to Amer
IAO Sayery-the cutting of it off from
the Iroisl,iOn and patronage of the
Federal Government.

Relief OF Volunteers.

For tie benefit of those interested, we
nrq5ish the resolution for the relief of
The families of volunteers from this coun-
IL. passed at special meeting of the
Board of Supervisors, June 18th, 1861:
"ResoIred, That the sum of five dol
lar. per month be appropriated for the
support of such of the families of the
Pierce County Volunteers as may need it
during the absence of such volunteers as
soldiers in the service of the Govern
ment."
We should Judge, by the wording of
this, that only those in actual need of
such support could draw the five dollars
per month.
