Another story of tho solution Of the Trent
difficulty is told BY Washington correspondent
Of tho Philadelphia Press: There is better au-
thority than either Mr.. Adams or Mr. Welles for
saying that neither the Secretary Of the Navy,
nor Of State, was the author Of that diplomacy.
The news Of the capture OF Mason and SGdeu
was so sudden and so unexpected that for time
the entire Administration was at loss to know
what to do. Mr. Lincoln, Of course. consulted
with his Cabinet Ministers, especially with his
Secretary of State. With all his ignorance OF
foreign affairs, Of which Mr.. Adams accuses him,
be saw that go grave an event would, in the
state Of feeling then existing in Great Britain,
probably involve uB in trouble But the great
question was how to dispose Of it. In this, as in
many an other emergency, ,Mr. Lincoln sought the
advice of Senator Summer. That statesman out
lined plan to Mr.. Lincoln which he thought
ment and satisfy the somewhat imperious de-
mand Of Great Britain. The President was go
impressed with it, that, in an impnssioned man.
ner, he Haid to Mr. Sumner, "Now,
please, Mr. Senator, go straight to
Seward and tell him what you have told
Sumner suggested vas subsequently embodied
in the famous dispatch which vas addressed to
the British Cabinet. though the language was
Mr. Stewards. By invitation Of Mr. Lincoln,
hr. Sumner WAS present at the Cabinet meeting
where this dispatch WAS finally considered, and
his opinion Was sought as eagerly as that Of any
other gentleman present. These facts destroy 8
little Of that romance Of Mr.. Adams which repre-
sents Mr.. Seward as coming to the Cabinet with
his dispatch already prepared without having
consulted any person, and with its having been
accepted, without discussion, as the views Of the
Government. It is not my intention to detract
from the just renown Of Mr. Seward, but some-
thing is due, ALSO to those who upheld his hands
and Strengthened his heart in the great conflict
to sustain the Union.

VandcrbiI1Tmiycr~ity,

From the Nashville Union and American.
The College of Bishops yesterday
went out in carriages prepared for tn EN-,
and spent the forenoon in viewing pro-
posed sites i6r the Vanderbilt Uniyersi-
ty. Litton Hill, west of Nashville, was
first examined with its grounds, groves,
and grand prospects. Then, crossing
the river, our beautiful neighbor, Edge
field, was surveyed at two or three
points, including Confederate Hill and
the Hobson and Wheeless property.
Edgefield never looked more lovely.
West End never was more charming.
Our visitors were delighted, and felt as
though they could locate halt dozen
colleges.
Accompanying the Bishops were several
members of the Board of Trustees now
7 in the city-Rev. DTs. Hunter, Winfield
and DonnelIy, of Arkansas; Judge Nor
gan and Rev. Mr.. Johnson, of Memphis,
and others.
Returning to their rooms, the Bishops
decided unanimously-al things con-
sidered--that the university ought to be
located west of Nashville, on that par
eel of ground that lies between Hills
boro and Broad street extended, and
known as the residence of the late Ben
Litton, with grounds adjoining the Ell
liston and Boyd tracts.
10 pay for these beautiful and eligi-
bic grounds is now the part that de-
wolves on Nashville; and our people
should do it gladly and readily. Only
5000 is required in addition to the
amount OF ground that has been donat-
ed. The site includes 20 acres-not a
rod too much.

rCorrespondence of the Chicago Tribune.
While in Kentucky, we met 4 surge-
on who served during the war in Gen.
Cheatham's Division. From himself
and lady we received much information
regarding the present social condition
of the South. The prejudice against
the colored race here, at the present
time, cannot be exaggerated; and 1t is
veIy evident that the two races can
ever be harmoniZed during the pres
ent generation, at least. DIR. A. AYERS
that the colOred race are becoming deci
mated; that few children ara born to
them; that most that are born either
perish from neglect or are murderedi
that they are too indolent to provide for
their offspring; and that their natural
affection does not exceed that of the
bruIe This same sentiment was also
reiterated by Mrs. g., o. Columbus,
Miss, a lady of the very highest stand
ing socially. She says that child-nur-
der is a very common thing with the
blacks at the present time in Misssis-
sippi that in clearing out an old well
which had not been used since the war,

babies, and in another twenty. l give
this statement Just as it-was uttered by
a person who seemed to have no further
interest in il than to state facts rs she
believed them. This wholesa le slaugh-
ter and neglect were further corroborat-
ed by country gentry from the States OF
Tennessee, Alabama and Louisiana.
All aver that one or the other race must
give way; and that from the natural in
stincts Of the cOlored race-which they
claim to be unthrift, laziness, and want
of maternal afIection-the negro must
succumb to the white race.

mcut of nv own, to show you that the
hatred of coiored rule is fixed deeply in
every Southern breast. Even at this

Gen. WHITTHoRNE opposed the black

If the money was stolen, what right
had General WHITTHoRNE to donate 1t
10 the Methodist University? Was not
the y. S. Treasury the place where it
properly belonged? If so, it will be a
cheap reputation that is purchased with

all in his power to defeat the passage of

SPECIAL dispatches from Newiound-
land TO the New York Her0Id bring a
startling tale. The Polaris expedition
60 the North Pole, under the command
oi the veteran explorer Captain c. F..
Hall, seems to have failed, and Capt.
HALL himself is dead. This story,
startling as it is in it's barest outlines,
will cause profouud'teeiing through
out the civilized world. On the 18th of
October, 1872, in latitude sevanty-seven
degrees, thirty-AVe minutes, party
numbering some nineteen souls left the
Po!aris TO put some p rOvisions on an
ice fIue 4 gale came on; the Polaris
parted from her moorings, and the I'M
fortuuates, TO their dismay, saw the
ship stesming away, unable to give
them the slightest assistance. The ice
at the time had fort Iuately southerly
sat. aud the tide and wind drove the
iceberg, with its living cargo, down
through Baffin's Bay and Davis Straits
until, on the j0th of April of the pres
snt year, after one bundled and ninety
six days on the ice, they were taken off
by the steamer Tigress, in latitude fifty
three degrees, thirty minutes, near the
coast of Labrador. The story OF the
unfortunates, their sufferings, their
manful struggle for life during six
months and a half on their strange Arcs
tic craft, and the truly prOvidential
manner of their deliverance reads like
n fearful dream. That during that fear
full time the ice foe drifted nearly fiji
teen hundred miles, though moving at
che rate Of little more than seven miles
a dav, will convey some faint idea OF
the horrors through which they passed
and the death, perpetually menacinS
Them, from which they escaped. Ex~
posture, cold and hunger are but words
10 indicate what they have survived.
Never were such waits known before in
Che history OF the world.
The highest point attained by this eN-
I9dition was eighty-two degrees, six
teen minutes; that of the Kane party !
was some minutes higher.
