The Hnma of lhe SlaYe.

Davis in his message says that "a
broad moral distinction exists between
the use of slaves as soldiers in the de-
fence of their homes, and the incite-
ment of the same persons TO insuTec-
ton against their masters" But upon
this question of the whereabouts Of the
home of the slave, the authorities diff,
fer. It is obvious, from tue above pas
sage, that Jefferson Davis regards he
plantation of his master "a the home OF
the slave, while Thomas Jefferson en-
tertained quite d fferent opinion The
latter declares that IF q slave can have
country in this world, it must be any
other in preference to that in which be
is born to live and labor for another" "
And he also says, in regard to slavery;
"And with what ezecraIiOn should the
statesman be loaded, who, permitting
one-half of the citizens thus 10 irampla
on the rights of the other, transforms
those into despots and these into enc
mics; destroys the morals of the one
part and the amor patriG of the other )"
1t is gratifying to learn from Davis
message that he is opening his eyes to
the fact, that to enslaVe a man is to
make him public enemy, and that a
State cannot withstand the storms Of a
revolution except by doing equal and
even-handed justice TO its subjects.
Slavery may be profitable to the slave
holders in piping times Of peace" but
when the storm of revolution beats
against the house, there is q levelling of
distinctions, and safety is found only in
the law OF equity Wash Chron

Advance in Prices Of Subscriptions

In consequence of the increased cost
of wages, paper, and other materials
telegraplic reports, subsistence, DC
the PrOprieeors of the NASHVILLE

into effect on Monday, Sept 26th, and
be scrupulously adhered to.
This step has been taken reluctantly
but after mature deliberation; and not

however, that it viii not be long before

4 ALBERT PIKE AND HIS WIFE II let

ing monument of tbefolly and downfall
Of its owner It is ncmiuslly occupied
by Mrs. Pike, who, though now quite
aged, still. clings to it alone and in It's
desolation, TO preserve it from the
clutches of Federal confscation. In IT,
best estate the house was one of superb
appointments externally and internally,
finished and furnished without stint of
expense. 1t is now disordered and de-
! solate and the noble private library of
at least seven thousand volumes has ali
been carried away, except some strsg-
Cling volumes in foreign tongues, which
the rude relic hunters could not read,
and left behind; nearly all the splendid
collection of engravings have disappear
ed, and fine organ, piano, and harp
have been spared the same fate only for
their ponderousness. Mrs Pike is
woman of intense rebel proclivities.
and has felt ali the accumulated hu-
Mutations and defeats of her che
rished cause almost as so many per
sonal affections. Her reason had been
losing its supremacy, and she wan
ders vacantly about amidst the dreary
wreck, seeming scarcely to notice any
thing that passes around her. Not
many mornings ago, she was found, by
those early in the streets, running
frantically about at daylight, en- diska-
bile, endeavoring to rally the neighbors
to resist an internal plot which, she
said, Gen. Steele was connecting, to
massacre the whole city, and was even
then whetting large knife to execute.
She will soon be sent through the lines
by hag of truce, to her husband, at
Washington, in this State This gifted
and erratic man is described by an Of
fcer who once met him face to face In
a desperate cavalry charge, as a person
of commanding dignity and force. He
has a fine muscular frame, the voice of a
Stentor and wears his hair at great
length, reaching down to his waist He
sits his horse cavalierly, dashes over
fences and bitches with a magnificent
contempt, and as he rode at the head
of his column, his long hair streaming
in the wind, and his powerful voice
urging them on TO the charge, it is little
to be wondered at that the supers1itious

How TO shOKE

The method Of smoking makes all
the difference in the world Those who
use the clean, long pipes of clay--as
did our old Knickerbockers-feel only
the effect Of the gaseous bodies and the
free carbon Wooden pipes and pipes
with glass stems are injurious. Cigars
should never be smoked to the end
otherwise they are more injurious than
all DR.. Richardson says they should
be cast aside as soon "a one. half il
smoked, and always smoked from a pO-
rous or absorbent tube. Pipes are much
less hurtful than cigars. The best pipe
is long clay pipe; next TO this, the
meerschaum Is the most wholesome.
DR. Dichardson says the perfection Of
pipe will be found IN a meerschaUm
bowl, an amber mouthpiece and clay
stem. Ali attempts at pipes 10 con-
dense the oil have thus far failed.
Every smoker should be careful Of the
manner in which he smokes. A short
foul pipe is very unhealthfuL
The fashion Of meerschaum has large
" prevailed In this country Of late
years The material Il imported in
blocks, and manufactured here into va
riOus forms, some very handsome and
costly. The price ranges as high az
lhirty-five dollars The proprietor Of
a good meersehaum think5 a. much OF
it almost as Of himself II il is well
colored, which Is the result Of absorb

becomes beautiful in his eyes, but tho

withstanding the heavy tax on tobacco
manufactures, the demand has ia no
way fallen Of bat the contrary.

CANADIAN ANEExATIoE-In discussing
the question of Canadian confedera
ton, the St Johns New Brunswick
Journal says:
But it may not follow that because
we are cast adrift we shall necessarily
remain an Independent nation, After
receiving "notice to quit" we mnst
then look around for the best alliances
possible for our own interests. Great
Britain may not desire our annexation
to the United States, yet if annexation
be the best arrangement we can make,
why annexation must follow Abs
sorbed in the great American Republic,
we may be participants of her wonder
full progress in peaceful times, and gain
ers by the development of national re-
sources which Yankee enterprise is GER
tain 70 turn to account It cannot be
denied that we are almost as republi-
can in our tastes and views as the Yam
KEGS themselves
Perhaps British statesmen will cons
descend to think of these matters be-
fore they give the colonies the cold
shoulder and send them on the road
to annexation. To talk. of our main
tanning oul independence alongside
the republic is sheer nonsense. Re-
publican armies or republican ideas
will surely overrun US, and in the end
we shall either be conquered by force,
or persuaded to demand admittance
into the Union ? Old traditions and old
sentimentsf of loyalty win be scattered
to the Winds, and we shall drive the
very best bargain we can to benefit
ourselves.
The ST. John Globe adds the follow
ing significant paragraph:
We undoubtedly incline to the be-
lief that the ultimate destiny Of al
British America is TO be absorbed into
the United States, or, if you like it bet
ter, that it is the destiny of the United
States to be absorbed by British Amer
lea. Commercially, this is the greatest
blessing we can hope to obtain but
just now, for political and social rea-
sons, our people are unfriendly to it
~ The United Provinces will be
an independent nation in two yeai af-
ter confederation takes place, and the
only reason why we have not given
confederation warm and hearty sup
port Is tbatw fear the people Of this
province New Brunswick) are unpre
pared for and unwilling at the present
time to enter upon independence. Il
may be that two great republics, whose
population are of the same race, can
exist side by side upon this continent;
we have no fear that war would ever
amalgamate them, or that the army Of
one would conquer the territory Of the
other; but years of plentiful prosper
ty would, we believe, unite them II
would require more craftsmanship than
either of them now possess to keep
them apart
