Our trooops hold Mur- freesboroo. Our advantages are decided. General Breckenridge’s division was cut to pieces and routed. On Saturday our skirmislrers decoyed a large number of rebels among our batteries. \Ve routed them with great slaughter. Captain McCullouch, of the 2nd Ken- tucky cat'alry, says the rebel General \Vildcrs was driven almost to madness by the slaughter of his men. Eye witnesses say that the slaughter exccds that of Shh loli. General Rosecrans and his soldiers are in the highest spirits. On Saturday Colonel Daniel McCook engaged \Vlieclcr’s cavalry six miles from Nashville, and routed them completely, All is highly cheering. Prisoners say that General Kerby Smith was in the fight. The rebel canteens ,were filled with whiskey and gunpowder. The Murfreesboro Rebel, of the 2nd, says the Foderalsfought gallenlly, and admits a loss of 5,000. The Federal prisoners are sent to Mur- frecsboro as soon as taken. The followrng is from the Assoctated Press correspondent at Nashville. It is reported that Gen Rosecrans shell ed Murfreesboro this morninw. There. was no reply. Our forces occupied it at noon. The rebels undoubtedly left. Our forces it is asserted are pursuing.

There is good ground, indeed. for the belief, that this vast neither expected nor desired. The. whole movement was evidently intended as a rose, to draw off public attention from the more important political ques- tions of the day. The riieirlbers oi the Govcrnrrient adopted a policy uhicb they afterwards discovered to be quite in’ipracllcable, and en- tirely opposed to the wishes of the majority of the people; but rather titan admit that they had committed a bluritlei',crribassadors are appointâ€" ed to confer with the Imperial au- thorities and the representatives of the other British American Provin- ces on the subject. .

The Canadian delegates Were not. prepared to give the gunâ€" rantees, that the other parties to the. contract had been led to expect; and ol'conrsc no arrangements could be entered into.

DEAR Siii,â€"-I’°riirit me. through the columns of your paper. to announce that a public lei: ture was delivered a few evenings ago in a certain School-house, situated on the 3rd con. of Markbaiii. on the subjocl of “ Slavery.” by a person whom I would suppose to be a 9km daddied Yankee, My reasons fo.‘ coming to this conclusion isâ€"tliat no Briton “run (I ever have culiimiiiated England in such a Vile anti slanderous manner, and with St't'Cl) bombastic impiidouce have cxtollod the Nor-thorn States of America so undeservedly. Unless all his af~ factions for his Country has become alienated by having suffered the just punishment of i8 law for some of his offences, and writhing with‘ irioi'tifi"iilioii on this account. has taken this feeble though aspliko method of retaliation.â€" But when I consider allcir‘cuiiistaiiCe-s carefully the boastful sayings in wliicn lie indulges his gestures, but more particularly his linssal tone of' speech so peculiar to the people on the other side of the line, I feel pretty well Sflllh’lleti that lie is a Sliaduddler; although I would no1 say that ho is that abolitionist who a few years. ago, the better to ouable him-elf to carry on tho glorious work of the negro aiiiaiicipate,kid- iiapped a. negro, took him down South and sold him for a. $1000. Now. Mr. liditor, with your periliiSsioii I will endeavor to place before the readers of your loyal and patriotic paper a few of his arguments, if they were wortliv of that nameâ€" for they were merely assertions without proof. deem worthy of notice. are his ideas about the Itoliraiis. lie says the Romans wore-by no means a civilized people. He then poi-ills out their barbarous customs, their oppression iii trampling upon all the sacrtd rights of iiianliliitl: their theatrical aniUsoiiioiits and their demoral- izntion, As a proof that he is right. this savage slate of things be their attributh to the Roman custom of holding slaves, which abominable custom he says produced the downfall of that mighty empire, The next flight ofliis llnag’lna‘ tloii brings us down to the cuiiiiiieiicoirieiit of the At'ricnii Slave Trade. He could not. con- ceive, he said, the reason why that race, (meaning the negro) was more particularly . doomed to slavery than any other, unless it was- their dark complexion. In every other rospucts he considered them by no means inferior to an; other race equally uncivrlized.
