CAMERON, for the Union, JOHN. WALLACE, for the Diiilch. Nasuville, July 25, 1803. From HmitsYille, Alabama. Correspondence of the Nashville Union.

llrx-rsviLLE, Ai.a., Mar. 21st 1804. Mr. Editor: If Washington City can boast of its "Pennsylvania Avenue," New York of its immense "Park" and its "Broadway," where "people do congregate," so also can Huntsville boast of its "Dully board" coiner, where, from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof, are to be seen various people. board" coiner, took its name front the fact that in the earlier days of the rebellion, there was located on that corner, a huge bulletin board at which the young and the old, tho rich and the poor, the halt, lame, blind and decrepid, wore to be seen daily and hourly, pondering over the dispatches from robold'ini.

Here on this board was gazetted in bold legible characters, the dispatch of Jeff. Davis from the fu st Manassas, saying to the untorriiied, "We have captured twenty thousand stand of arms, enough provisions to last the Confederacy for three years, and also an innumerable host of prisoners, Ac." Here were dispatches of an earlier date, saying to the perfideous and conglomerated mass of putrid humanity, who, under the name of Convention or Provisional Congress, was in session in that sink of iniquity, Montgomery here, I say, were dispatches to that hellish mess, urging them to "appoint A Vice President, in order to conciliate the Union men." Here, on the bulletin board on "bully corner," you might have seen dispatches from Virginia, saying "Pope Walker says that the Confederate flag will float over the White House in Washington city in ten days." It would have better had he said "in a horn." I said that various proj'Ls could be seen on "bully board" corner. By far the majority of them are very nice, clever gentlemen. They represent, however, as a friend suggests, several ists. Firstly, we have the "Unionists," the "Secessionists," and the "reconstructionists," and then the "dcsti uctionists." On the same corner, among those who wear the United States uniform, we find the "ex-terminationist," the "Unionist," the "Amalgamationist," or to use tho more happy and recent expression the "mis-cegenationist." This latter class, however, to their honor be it said, is quite small.

Miscegenation, or a blending or intermarrying of the whites and blacks, can never be general. In fact the northern and western man is really more free from the probable adoption of the idea than, the southern man. Such an idea never has and never will enter the minds of our women north or south. God bless the women everywhere. They often err, but it is an error in judgment.

Except in a few isolated cases their hearts are right. They have gone far to assist in the ruin of the South, in fact Methodist preachers and women have rendered Jeff, and his faction great assistance. God knows there are secesh ladies enough in and around Huntsville. I can but sympathise with them. I cannot have the heart even to censure them.

There never was a country on earth where woman occupied so high a social position, no place where she was so highly appreciated, or where more deference was paid to her. Every attention was paid to her she was loved and caressed, and really occupied her true position, here in the South. The more reason, therefore, for her remaining loyal and true. UjjdV. It is cot for me to lift the veil that covers the future it is not for me to say whether she will lose by this rebellion, tho great influence she so nobly wi.

ldl, in the g'xxl old days of the republic. fiod grant that ehe may resist every outward influence that may tend to drag her to a level with the general mass. And in this connection let me ask letter writers to confine their remarks to the times and men. Let the ladies alone. Treat them with defer- once and respect.

Look over their im- perfections. Do not criticise their dress-: iligs and toilette. Lemember that they have been shut out of the world for several years. No rj will insult 1 a lady in word or deed. Titch into the men rough-shod, but for heaven's sake 'let the ladies alone.

One little Miss said to me the other day, (when it was reported that some ladies, wives of otS-cers in the Federal army, had Lgt-n iu- juretl by guerrillas tearing up the track and throwing the cars off.) 'if they were Federal ladies it was all right." I eot mad slightly, but answered that I hoped her "mother, who intended to start that day on a visit without our lines, would feturn safely." I really did wish her a safe return Mv little Miss i H-lheJ, P. H. 11st or Deaths, Tnthe U.S. Hospitals, Xashville, copied from the IiccorU of W. It.

Murphy, Brigadier-General Pile, iu the late Methodist Convention at Jefferson City, said "I have been separated from the regular work of the ministry near two years; but I have the consolation to know I have, done Romethirig for the cause of (Jod and humanity. I have enlisted for the United States Government seven thousand colored men in this State; and thus given freedom to over twenty thousand persons. I hope ere long to lay down the sword and again take up. the trumpet of the gospel and proclaim pardon to all who have rebelled against the government of our Creator.

New Discovekies. A pair of spectacles to suit tho eyes of potatoes. The club with which an idea struck the poet. A stick to measure narrow escapes. The hook and lino with which an angler caught a cold.

All competent witnesses agree that the. Slave system results in rapid deterioration of the soil.

American, English, French, Northern and Southern writers advocates and opponents Slavery are united on this point. Commencing with the earliest commentaries on the institution, to recite au thorities would simply be a catalogue-: ingof the names of the leading statesmen and writers of our country and travelers from abroad. Jefferson, Mad-iron, Lafavette, Clav, Webster, Martineau, Ounstead, husseil, Muling, Wise, Marshall, Cairns, Cochin, Labou-: lave, DeTocqtieville, and a host of oth-; ers, in all phases of life, testify to the same thing. There is not a Southern unuiru uir luu iifun'i'iuiiii i of the institution under the most advantageous circumstances, but what produces amongst her citens the strongest witnesses to her fil'y. And they arc for the most part advocates of Slavery, so blinded by prejudice that while they portray the facts, they attribute them to any other cause than the right one.

As slaves multiply, their masters cannot have recourse to inferior soils; they must fintl new soils for them to cultivate, henco the tendency to emigrate to the Southwest, hence the immense tracts of waste and worn-out lands in the old seaboard States, hence the desire for the acquisition of more territory. As free laborers increase in the North and West, after the best land is taken up, that of a secondary character is brought into service, and by maturing and attention made to yield a subsistence to the cultivator, not so in the South. In an ar ticle entitled "Southern Patronage to Southern Imports and Domestic Indus- i trv," published in De Bow's Review of February, IS'il, William Gregg, of South Carolina, almost despairingly asks: "Then whv should the numerous water falls, rippling over the shoaly beds of our bold and beautiful streams all over the South, remain idle and useless? Why should our lands go to waste in the old planting States as soon as thev refuse to produce short staple cotton with Why should we stand with our arms folded, trying to make nothing but cotton, and buying everything we use? Cannot till see that such a policy will lead us to be more and more di- pendent? And that, pursuing such a i course, we can never be prepared for separate nationality, or for thrift and perfect independence in the Union or out of it." The answer, which should have come home at once to the thoughtful mind of so observant a writer, was contained in tho simple recital of facts which necessarily accompany slave hibor. It lacks diversity. The requires its victims to be kept in a state of ignorance; they are only taught how to work, and are stupid enough at that.

They require overlooking, and are, therefore, more profitably worked in gangs, where a single overseer can compel the performance of allotted duty.

"I hold myself rays Mr. Olmstoad, "in asserting that the natural elements of wealth in the sil of Texas will have been more exhausted in ten years, and with them the rewards offered by Providoliee to labor will have been more lessened, than, without slavery, would have been the case in two hundred." "After two hundred years' occupation of similar soil by a free laboring community, I have seen no such evidences of waste as in Texas I have ten years of slavery." instead of improving by cultivation as land does under the free labor system, it is positively less capable of sustaining a densely civilized community than if no labor at all had been expended upon it.

No State in the Union, for instance, is more richly endowed with all the resources of a great commonwealth than the 'State of Virginia. It was settled under favorable circumstances, and received the fostering care of the home government to a much greater extent than most of the other Colonies. It is the boast of Virginians that the race from which they have sprung was of noble and generous mould, and the early history of the Republic is filled with their deeds of patriotism, statesmanship and valor. For general productive purposes no Stat surpas-es Virginia. It has a fertile soil, a genial climate.

It is rich in coal, iron, copper, lead, plumbago, salt, gypsum, porcelain clay, fni granite, slate, marble, soapstone, lime and gold. It has a groat variety of surface, and abounds in objects of interest to the tourist and love of th sublime and beautiful in nature. It has been blessed with innumerable healing springs, the report of the sickly and fashionable. It has fine and livers; and Washington pronounced the central counties the finest agricultural district in the United States, whilo Webster declared in a public speech that he saw no better farming land in his European travel than that in the Shenandoah Valley. Virginia, with a better system of culture, possesses v-ry element of industrial greatness.

With such advantages and an area equal to that of England, she could not have failed, after a career of two hundre-d and fifty years, to become a state of great wealth, jxtpulation and power, had she never iiave taken to her bosom the viper of slarery. Her own sons have told us how that has preyed upon her vitals destroyed her enterprise, driven off h-r citizens, prevented the 'development of commercial and manufacturing greatness, iiiijovr-ished her lands. Alter a nationitl life of nrore than two and a half centuries, with immigration constantly rxuring into this country from Europe, Virginia the average price per acre of cultivated land in Virginia is only eight dollars, Contrast this with the progress of Ohio in fifty years, a country in the memory of many now living a jw-rfoct wilderness, known as the Far West Virginia has an area of sixty-one thousand three hundred and fiftv-two square miles, and yet the population of iloo exceeds that of Virginia by marly a of souls.

But for f. ar of making this article too tedious, we could further illustrate the advantages of the free owr the slave system of labor by comparing the productiveness of the two States, exhibiting, in well ascertained statistics, how mtuh of corn, wheat, rye, tiax, tobacco and other products lias been raided in each, the amount per aero and its value. But we think the aggregates are sufficient to satistiy anv unprejudiced mind that tot'K una vino are lar man vance of Virginia in material prosperity, and we all know how far more advanced in all the elements of civilized life, schools, colleges and institutions for ameliorating and improving the condition of the human race. This difference is directly traceable to Slavery and to nothing else.

Friends and Fellow-Soldiers: I welcome you to your native land. When I have hoard of the sufferings you have endured, and the indignities to which you have been subjected whilu helpless prisoners of cruel captors, mv heart has yearnffl fur you with a lather's deep sympathy and affectionate solicitude; it has burned with indignation at your wrongs; but it has also pulsated with unspeakablo pride and exultation at the fortitude you have evinced under the severest trials, the integrity you have preserved amid the most insidious temptations, and the calm trust you have never ceased to repose in the righteousness of your country's cause. (Cheers.) A color hearer among you when cap-ftn ed, secreted his buttle Hag in his bo-stun, and possessed it through a long captivity, until the proud moment arrived wht-n, standing on the deck of a Confederate vessel, ho gave its folds, amid tho cheers "of his comrades, once more to the light of his native (Applause.) With a no less jealous care, through the long wearv months of a vile imprisonment, you have kept en- twined around your he-trt of hearts au more in store for vmi. You have followed that flag with unfaltering steps on many a bloody field. You will follow it again with no less enthusiasm, as each day makes it more precious, and sheds a new radiance on its bright folds.

To the spirit that has carried you forward to so many heights of victory in the past will be added the inspiration of new wrongs and outrages that will strengthen your arms ami nerve your hearts to a resistance that nothing can overcome in the future. Your brother-soldiers have awaited your coining with painful anxiety. They will welcome you with open arms. You will tell them, by the camp fires, of the horrors of your long captivity. You will contrast your sufferings with the generosity with which their prisoners have been treated at our hands, and though you have felt many times, this bmad distinction, you responded to tho sentiments of your comrades at home, that we must never forget what is duo ourselves as a civilized people, though the enemy havo nothing toclaim.

Your words will excite them to an unconquerable determination. They will excite you to the highest pitch of martial enthusiasm by accounts of their glorious deeds in your absence. Together you will be stimulited to renewed exertion until you plant our baimcr on the heights of Southern Independenou and deck it with the fruits and flowers of an euduring peace. Applause You will find your families less than you have been led to supposo. You will find much of our territory devastated, but tho people still true to tho spirit of Applause.

You will find tho old State of Virginia baring her bosom to tho storm with lion heart and eagl" eye, defiant as eer. So long as sh has a crust you will share her hospitality. Chers. After a short res ite you will 1m called again to the front, i know you will come. Applause.
