SLAVERY AND DEMocRAcY.-Th cor
respondent of the New York Times at
Nashville, Tennessee, makes some very in
teresting statements in regard to the anti
slavery sentiment that is springing up
there. The following extract from his
letter deserves special attention.
$50 strong IS this revolution that the
Union club in Nashville, numbering some
seven h ndred members, contains in its
constitution an article-which believe no
northern Union league has ventured to in
sert-expressing the strongest opposition
to slavery. In this association, of course,
are many Shareholders 1t is impossible
to hear, this side Of Boston, such down.
RIGHT abolition talk as you hear around
the state capital in Nashville One slave
holder said to me that it was a great pity
the president had not applied his procla-
nation at once to Tennessee, ssit wonld
have saved them great deal of trouble,
for it was evident the institution could uot
stand long IN its present condition. The
gentlemen Interested in these movements
assured me that the greatest obstacle in
their path was the unaecountable tone Of
a portion of the democratic press in the
eastern states, who seemed to have a pas
sion for the restoration of the slave pow

The SIEGE OF CHARLESTON. Ac-
cordlng to the Washington correspondence
of the Tribune, the taking of Charleston
must be regarded as work of some time.
lie states that an officer just returned from
there gives his opinion that il is next to
impossible to batter down Fort Wagner:
that the men keep under the bomb proofs.
upon which our shot and shell produce no
effect; that the only way the fort can be
carried is by direct assault, which will not
at present be attempted. The chances Of
knocking Fort Sumter to pieces are bet
ter; indeed it is generally believed there
that the fort will speedily fall. Ifit falls,
our forces cannot occupy it, as it will be
battered to pieces. Even should we take
Forts Sumter and Wagner, the other forts
have got to be overcome, and the rebels,
who are busy as bees day and night, are
erecting battery after battery on the way
to Charleston. The military force is not
deemed sufficient, and will have to be
largely reinforced before the finale is con-
summated
