The eolorcd people Of Nashville yester-
day held high festival in celebration Il
taeir deliversnce from slavery through the
rstifcatiOn, By the people Of Tennessee,
Of the amendment Of the Constitution abol-
ishiug aud prohibiting slavery. From the
point Of day the streets were thfoDged with
dark and eager faces, evidently prepared
foI enjoyment. At half past ten the pro-
cession entered the public square. It's ex :
tent surprised US. Omit passed, rank after
rank, in almost intermjnable line, preceded
by Marshals on horseback, bearing their
batons, and conspicuous iron their ribbons
and other ensignis; guard Of honor with
musket and bsyonet, and military band
in an open car. Then followed the BARRIERS
association, each member wearing the broad
buff collar of tho craft; then boys, more
music, the extensively represented order
Of 1.-THE Sons Of Relief" in the white col
lars Of their order-the United States flag,
carriage with the orator Of the day, citi-
zens, Sunday school boys, Sunday school
girls in large number, long train Of wo-
men, school boys, 6fes and drums, lastly q
long, very long file Of carriages, generally
alled with well dressed females. The pro-
eession was well got up, and evcitsd great
attention IS it fled its long line through the
streets. Nearly ell we're dressed we'll, the
women generally with quite becoming
neatness, that well suited them dash
ing merino or snowy silk occasionally inter
vened, giving variety to the more sober
hues Of the dresses generally. The neat
/ appearance Of the children was creditsble,
We might say admirable. Their bright faces
were cleaning with satisfaction and enjoy
ment. The bands Of the 10th Tennessee
and 10th Ohio "discOurssd sweet music"
during the procession aud the meeting that
followed We observed and heard Of no
incident Of a disagreeable character. Ii
any who looked on felt pang al the loss Of
their old sshands," the agony was borne in
silence. There we're but few banners /;
among the motoes were the following: ave
aspire 70 elevation through industry, econ
omy, and christianity" "We can forget
and forgive the wrongs Of the past" owe
ask not fer social, but for political equality"
"WiH Tennessee be amongst the first or
the last to allow her sable sons the elsctive
franchise" Non nolis sOleH sed Patriaeae
Ct aniieas."

oFERA HOUSE, skLooN.-This well conduct
ed establishment, under the control of Doc
Parrish, is situated on Church street, near
the Chattanooga r. R. Depot, and is the
place to get a good Tod or Drink, of any
kind. Persons in that locality would do
well to give the house a call, as the present
dusty weather requires some beverage to
allay ones thirst, and Parrish is the man
70 60 the thing.

After passing through the principal
streets the procession continued its way to
Watkins grove, where, amid music, waving
flags, and the cheerful shouts Of the i'm
mense multitude, the meeting was organ
lied BY calling Rev. Daniel Watkins to pre-
side over the assembly. The scene at this
moment had elements of very peculiar
character about it. In city where ne
groes were lately subject TO the domination
Of absolute rulers, they stood one vast null
titud Of freed men and women. At a dis
tanee was the capitol, where have been
forged shackles it was believed no human
power could break, to hold these chattles in
perpetual bondage, and there stood the
towers of churches in which the "institu-
ton" received Pious blessings,apd was pro-
nounced not merely allowable but "divine."
Often from platforms we have gazed upon
the upturned faces Of mulhtudes brought
together by some striking occasion, but We
never saw crowd bearing the PhysiognOmy
Of the present one. There was the jet
black, the dusky brown, the yellow mulat-
to, the ''taint" of white, the absolutely pale
saee with richly rudy cheeks. All ages
and both sexesIshOwing their faultiess teeth,
as they painted from the exertion Of their
long parade-but whatever the hue or
shade, the age or sex, every face was cheer
full with an expression of exultation. II
vas not the exultatiOn we have 30 often
witnessed, on the part of e meeting rejoicing
because 'their side won" in an election just
terrninaiod-it had more gravity and pro-
founder depth about it. The "exereises'
commenced with singing, ''Praise God from
whom all blessings Aow," and the round
full chords of the Old Hundredth echoed
back from the hills that lately reverberated
with the thunders Of Hoods guns. Then a
touching silence came heads we're uneov-
cred, and the President of the occasion
prayed that heaven would bless the occs-
sion, and deliver "all our race" from
bondage.
