Tiie following account of lhe i horrible condition of the slaves in t Nashville is from the charge to the Grand Jury by Judge Brien on the act for the punishment of slaves. We of the city of Nashville are abso l lutcly cursed with the presence of a t negro population which we find it im possible to c®itrol Nashvi’le is made the general rendezvous for trll the run away negroes in tins and-Bume ot the i adjoining States. They thrust tliein -3 selves into the houses of our citizens and defy the owners to roust thefn.—, t They pilfer, they steal, they scruple at - nothing, they respect nobody; they re i gard no law, human or divine. Some of them are engaged in hospitals, but ■ they are so numerous that this is’ per- • haps only a fractional part. They , promenade our streets; they crowd our I sidewalks; they thread ailevs; they till our houses, cellars, garrets. They , are too lazy to work; too ignorant to i distinguish between liberty and liceuse- > too shameless to respect common de cency, and too degraded to observe the - ordinary rules of morality. The men i are thieves and burglars, the women prostitutes und There is scarcely a stable, ;; liog p.-n, or a hen - roost that does not bear the impress of along heel ami hollowless instep. These negroes are a curse to the urmy, a cancer to society, a blight upon lion- > csty, morality and decency, and a leech i upon tiie Government. : i ——- i j To-Morrow. ■ !

Another great battle has been fought and won by our invincible army of Vir ginia. The preparations for an ad vance of the Federal army, under Gen. Hooker, have been for some time pro gressing; and it has been for-some days apparent that those preparations were complete, and that the two oppos ing armies of Virginia were on the eve of a tremendous collision. On Fri day last it became evident that the strength of Hooker’s advance was at ■ Kelley’s Ford, 22 miles above Freder icksburg. The heavy column which took that course, had also crossed the . Rapidan. It crossed the Rapidan at i two fords—that at Germany and an > other known as Ely’s Ford, nearer the month of the Rapidan. Ely’s Ford is , on lhe old stage road from Fredericks burg to Culpepper C. 11. This force of » the enemy had reached Wilderness, or perhaps Chancellorsville, the latter about ten miles and the former about sixteen miles from Fredericksburg. It was supposed that the direction of the i column was towards Spotsylvania C. 11, a point in rear of our position, and fourteen miles from Fredericksburg. On Friday our army was put in mo tion, from right to left, and was chang ing front to meet this new front of the enemy On that day the two armies were very near together, and no stream between ihe'm. Gen. Jacks m was lead ing the movements against if . enemy’s flunking column, and Gen. McLaw’s Division was watching the movements of a column of the which bad crossed the Rappahannock below Fred ericksburg Thus matters stoo on Friday last. The only f . gence we have at this writing i\ from the great General, the significance of whose measured and moderate phrase the public have learned This dispatch has reference to the operations ol Sat urday and Sunday: Mils rd, May 4th, 1863. President Z>rzvw —Y< sterday Gen. Jackson penetrated to the rear of the euemy, and drove him from ail his po sitions from the wilderness to within one mile of Chancellorvtlie He was engaged at the sain*-time in front by two of Longstreet’s Divisions. This morning the battle was renew ed, and he whs dislodged from all his positions around Chancellorville and driven back to-wards the Rappahan nock, over which he is now retreatinf. Many prisoners were taken, and the enemy’s loss in killed and wounded is large. We have again to thank Almighty j God f>r a great victory. 1 n g-ict to stale that General Pax ion was killed. G neral Jackson was seriously, and Generals Heth and A. P. Hill slightly wounded. (signed,) R. E. LEE, General Commanding. The following has releience to the operations of Monday: To His Excellency, President Davis: —At the close of (he battle of Ciiam el lorsviile, on Sunday, the enemy were reported advancing from Fredericks burg, in our reur. Gen. McLaws was sent back to arrest his progress, and repulsed him handsomely that after noon. Learning that his force <■ iisist d of two corps, under Gen Sedeumk Ide term md to attack him. 1 according 'y marched back yesterday, witn *G<-ii Anderson, and united witn Gm Me Laws, early in lhe aitermuiii, and sue ceeded, by the blessing of lieaven, in driv.ng (fen. Scdgrnake across the Rap paham.", k. * We IM vc re-occupied Fredericks burg; and non n of the enemy now re main south ot the Rappahannock, or its vicinity. R. E. LEE, General Commanding. This is all that has been received of the great—we are inclined to believe ' the greaiewt—battle, which has been fought during the war. What Confed erate heart docs not bound with joy at the announcement of this great and op pm tune victory ? All honor to our no ble"chieftains who lead but to victory! All honor to lhe unrecorded dead, whose devotion to our cause lias been sealed with their blood! All honor to the war-worn veterans, whose brave hearts and strong arms still stand as a bul wark against the insatiate foe. ) ; Give to tbe Poor! Those “ who have and to spare” should not forget tbe poor and desti tute around them. All the necessaries of life range at distressingly high pri ces, and unless the purse swings of i those who have plenty are unloosed, ■ bow are the children of want to live ? “ He that giveth to the poor lendeth to ihe Lord,” and He will reward him ac- j cordingly. Let every patriotic man and woman, every Christian in our bleeding Confederacy who is able to give remember this, and see to it that no needy soldier’s wife and childjen, no poor widow and helpless orphans, stiffer at this time for tbe necessaries of life. Upon this subject the Augusta Constitutionalist remarks: “There are many soldiers’ wives and children, as well as poor widows and helpless or phans, who cannpt live through the struggle for our country’s indepen dence without assistance, and every person who has the ability should have the heart to bestow it. Every patriot should do his best in assisting this portion of his community. Many of the most deserving and needy are those whose circumstances heretofore lender it peculiarly humiliating for them to . ask for assistance. Such should claim . the vigilant notice and confidential aid of private beneficence—they shrink . from public charity. We heard of a man, not long since, who was actually congratulating himself that he had not 1 contributed to any of the relief funds. ‘1 knew,’ said he, ‘ that we should have . to be taxed at last, and I concluded to , pay my share in that way.’ Yrs, read . er, this man had stilled all the manly • impulses of his steel clad soul, under . the subtertuge of payimr his part in . taxes. He was deaf to the suft'eriims ot the widows and orphans around him, whose husbands and fathers have . fallen fighting for his liberty, as well i-as their own. We pity the mean spirit that will allow a mau thus to shut himself up in the tub of avarice.” Baptist Convention. The Georgia Baptist Convention met in Griffin on Friday last. The open ing sermon was preached by Dr. W. T. Brantley, of Atlanta. Dr. P. H. Mell, of Athens, was elected Modera tor, and Rev. E. W. Warren, of Macon, Clerk. 1 he financial,affairs of the denomi nation were reported in a healthy con dition. Mercer University has been kept in .operation, and about ,$20,000 invest', d in educational enterprises I’lie committee on deceased ministers reported that nine Baptist ministers have died in the State during the year. The committee appointed to consider the propriety of taking some steps for the education of tiie indigent orphans of our soldiers, recommend that effi cient measures be adopted to carry out this great work, and that the Legisla ture, at its next session, be memorial ized to increase the Poor School Fund for the purpose. The Convention adjourned to meet at Atlanta, on Friday before the fourth Sunday in April, 1864. D. Redmond, Esq —This gentleman, the accomplished editor of the Southern Cultivator, was at Rome, when the cou rier arrived to inform them the Yan kees were at Gadsden He was in his room at the Hotel, lying in his bed awake, though at the hour of midnight, and heard the heavy and rapid clatter of the hoots of the horse as the courier came up to the hotel. In a few mo ments lie learned that something unus ual was on hand and came down to see. Finding out the nature of the errand he hurried out and assisted a Railroad En gineer to fire up and run the engine and tender down to Rome as f;-st as steam could carry her. This is a wor thy example of energy —of doing some thing while others were cons dermg what to do.— Atlanta Confederacy Editor Redmond at R ime “run the engine and tender down to Rome!”— ■ What does tbe Confederacy mean ? And Mr. R. done “something?” Pray tell us what that “something” was done for--you leave us to conjecture. Was it that he (bio R ) might facilitate his escape? or was it to assist the “engine and tender” to escape? If the former, was he (R.) scared?— and if the latter, what did the “engine and tender escape” for? Was it to get out of tbe way of the Yanks, or to convey or telegraph for men to defend the Rome from which Air. R. and lhe “engine and tender” so precipitately toos their departure. We would like to know. The editor of the Confederacy must Lave been laboring under a “ big scare” when he penned the above paragraph, and did’iit know whether he was in Rome, or on the “ en gine and tender” going “to Rome," or in Atlanta. —♦ ♦ . ‘ln the pockets of three Ohio de-‘ to be shot in Western Virginia, letters weie found from their fathers advising them to desert. j i Gon. Forrest’s Great Victory Near Rome. The following- particulars of the de feat and capture, 20 miles from Rome, on Sunday last, by Gen. Forrest, of the Yankees .(1800 strong), who were marching upon Borne for the purpose, as they confess, of destroying all the Government proporty at that place and I going thence to the State Road and burn- I ing the Etowah and other bridges and j tearing up the track, we copy from the Rome Courier of ihe oth instant: Sunday morning last, opened at half past 2 o’clock, with an alarm. Mr J. 11. Wisdom, a resident of Gadsden, Ala., and a former citizen of this city, reach ed here, after riding with hot haste for eleven hours, and gave information ti'at the enemy were at Gadsden when lie left, and were bound for Rome. Preparations were began with dis patch, and by 9 o’clock in the morning our soldiery and citizens were prepared to give them a warm reception Two pieces of artillery were placed in posi tion, commanding the load and the bridge Cotton barricades erected at all the defiles near the city, videttes sent out to watch the enemy’s approach. ■ Everything was got in readiness for determined resistance. During the morning several couriers with dispatch es from Gen. Forest arrived, urging our commander here, to hold Ahem at b y for a lew hours, if possible, and at all hazards About two o’clock anoth er dispatch from Gen. Forest, saying that he was fighting them at Gayles ville with an inferior force About 9 o’clock A. M., a small body of the enemy’e advance (about 200) reached the environs of the city, and were actually bold enough to dismount and feed their horses almost in sight of the city. They picked up all the horses and mules in the neighborhood, ti.ok s- tne citizens prisoners, and re connoitered the defences of the city Learning- that we weie prepared with artillery they b.voua -ked, and seemed to await the arriv.il ihe main body For some cause tiny retreated about 3 o’clock, down the Alabama road They were pursued by a small but res o ule body of mounted citizens, win were determined that tbe aft'rr should not end thus. In the meantime, Gen Forrest had overtaken the main body .!■;.« s i ; <>i (Jaylesville, and n>t 1. £ .ide of li dar Bluff. After some T::j:-l nrsii ing Gen F dema mice a- nri-emJer.

They were met by General. Forrest’s advance, about the same time that our citizen cavalry overtook them in_pur suit. ‘ Gen. Forrest arrived in the city, with all the .and the small body of troops alluded to on Sunday evening about 6 o’clock I’. M. The rest of both forces reached here yester day morning. But mark what, rmn iiiis t > be fold. Gen. Forrest accomplished this bold feat, wdh less than 7( 0 men— thongli the rest ol ii s command were in support ing dis I tance. Tuns terminated the last Sab batn Such a jubilee, Rome has never experienced. Such raptures over Gen. Fort, st ami his brave mm. \\ hen it is considered what, a daring raid lhe enemy aspired to—what an extensive circuit they contemplated— what irreparable damage ;.nev had de 11 berateiy planned, (being tiie burning of the hr dges on the State Road, and the destruction ot Government proper ty at Round Mountain, Rome, and Dal ton,) it is wonderlul how Gen. Forrest has managed to prevent the consurna tion of their designs. With more than a hundred miles lhe start of him, he nevertheless has pressed them so hard with hot pursuit, as to prevent mate terial damage being d >ne. Excepting the destruction ol the Round Mountain Iron Works, in Cherokee couipv, Ala., they have done but little damage.—’. Gen. Forrest lias lost not exceeding twenTy men in this glorious work. He killed and wogi.ded about three hun dred ot the enemy Among them Col. Hathaway of Indiana. Col. Streight of Indiana, was commanding the Federal forces.

The season has been particularly favorable, and in some places it is now considered be yond all danger In this there is oc casion for profound thankfulness and giatulation. It will be m-cepted as an evidence that Providence sm les upon our bleeding-, suffering country, and if wo do pur duty He will not permit the fulfillment of the fiendish hopes our en emies entertain of starving us into sub mission. ..A creature in Virginia lately pur chased a little farm tor S7OO.

Skies Brightening. There are, says the Augusta Consti tutionalist, cheering indications of an improved degree of confidence in Con federate currency. This is apparent in the decline iu prices in all our prin cipal markets of the leading articles, as well as in the decline in gold and . silver as well as bank bills. The tax 1 bill, which has just passed, is working . out these good results, and we incline ! to think tue good has just The bill will withdraw an amount of cur rency nearly equal to tout paid out, which will increase confidence in Con federate securities and induce liberal investments in bonds. The tithing feature of the tax will supply the army with food without resorting to seizing, and thus remove the occasion for spec ulation or hoarding. The result will be, that the industry of the country 1 will move forward in its legitimate channels, confidence- will be restored, inflated prices will on . articles of luxury smuggled through the blockade, which cannot be tooljigh ' —and as the value of the money tlfttt will be in circulation will be largely appreciated, no one will be injured by the lax, for the amount of money left, : after paying the tax, will be' really xVoi th more than the whole sem would have been had not the tax been levied.- This is the view we take of it,- and therefore we hope no one will grumble at the tax, but accept it as-a positive benefit as well as a necessity.- . .The Richmond E.ranriiur hiis learn l ' ed, from good authority, that Lincoln’s-' . late visit to the Army of lhe Rappa-' ■ hannock was for the purpose of indue-’ mg the soldiers whose terms of enlist ment are about to expire, to rc-eniist.- Gid Abe made speeches without nurn ber, and whiskey flowed like water, < mm! the whole army got drunk. ..
