John Bell and DR.. Schon.

Parson Brownlow writes. at Nashville. un-
der date of August s.:
t"Rov. Dr.' Schoh. after an absence at the
South for some time, has returned and is on
his way to Washington In search of pardon.
He talks Ikea man Of sense and admits that
he did not act Ike a man of sense when he
joined in with the rebellion. The Doctor is
thoroughly subjagated, and intends to make
good citizen from this out.
II have had long interview with John
Bell He is ten years older, ih appearance,
than when the war began. j His teeth are
out, and that effects his speech. His hair and
whiskers are very gray, and he is very much
stopped, and leans upon his staff like an old
man is expected to do.A 1 treated him very
kindly. He talko very freely .bout the re-
bellion, and in opposition to it. lie says the
secessionsts in the South are all lunatics
without any lucid intervals-.-that is to say
they are arayy all the time y I believe it is
principle in law, that if lunatic have lucid
Intervals at times, he is responsible for acts
perpetrated in those intervals. And medical
writer's say That 9unatics without lucid inter.
vG-s, are incurable. "'+
Il accompanied the old gentleman to the
headquarters of General Thomas, and after
short but agreeable interview with the Gene.

Virginia and Slavery.

The newspapers of4h;s State are unanimous
in advocacy of prompt, decided Legislative
action with reference to the immediate aboli-
tion of slavery. The institution is already
moribund, and all attempts to galvunize it by
the apprentice system" and gradual einan-
cipation" will result as the use of the quack
nostrrns. do in cases of iuveterate and irradi-
cable cancer and galloping consumption a.
If the Legislature shall possess the powers of
q State convention, it should. during the first
week of lis session, sweep away the last ves-
tigc os slavery in Virginia We had as we'll
do quickly and cheerfully what cannot be
svoidcd The action of Congress and Of the
President upon the vital question of confsca-
ton and the restoration of all our civil rights
will depend upon what is done in Virginia.
The Legislature and. Congress both meet on
the first MondaNin December next.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that no one
expects Or desires any further discussion Of
the question. of slavery. The fate of the in
sttuton is stttled, and we have drifted lorg
since out Of The circle of discussion and de-
batea :.s.; , n, ...,t ,2 !,,,;, y -
