Wo I have no regrets to express that the negroes have been restored to their owners, and are likely to do the citizens of this or other Plates some arivice in fields fur which they peculiarly qualified and designed. No r.&tta Session to be Called. Ve are informed hy telegraph, that on the*lsl inst. the President and Cabinet decided not to cull an Extra Keasion of Congress, but to pay for the I’ostoflicc service in warrants irredeemable until n regular srssion of Congress makes an ll'ipoituiit Derision. Th lust Griffin Union contains the opinion at length of Judge Camaxkm in the ceae of Bankston, use, Ate., r». Greer. Bankston, who is Clerk of the Inferior Court of Bulti county, brought the suit against Greer, upon the information of Jorhun Patrick, who alleged that Greer had returned his tnxnblo j r-'perty at a valuation of onlv .$19,000, when it wav really worth $40,000, mil claimed to recover fen dollars for tverv hundred dollars’ worth of property concealed by defendant. Judge Cubanese held that the art of 1 SOl, giving the informer ton dollars, Acr., is not now in force, bring inconsistent with, nnd therefore repealed by, the act of IMS. which substi tute* another penalty for making a fslsc return of taxable properly, viz,: the impo sition of a double lax the first year, a treble tax the reronJ year, dec.; and therefore the Judge ordered a nonsuit of Banket in’s ease. In ar ivirig at this conclusion, the Judge examined the decision of th** Supreme Court in the case of Payne ra. Coursey, 20lh Gso. Rep., and contended that ihc only point involved in ami decided by that opinion was that a criminal prosecution to convict the defendant of u fd-o return w*« not nrcos. saiy to a recovery by the plaint IT; the question of the continued vitality of the act of 1 SO | was not decided hy the Supreme Cou • Julge dee ii Tlu- 4 I The Banner pi CUyton a week . was supposed t>» only from the Inri id the body, hi thought the eli tl Only Prohibited tu the Nouthl The Salem (Mass.) }\rgi$tcr, of the 14th inst., notices the arrival ut that port of the brig Paulina from the coast of Africa, hav ing on board a number of ncgroei from Zanzibar, of whom it says ; “There arc alao to he aeon In tho streets occasionally some freshly imported negroes from Zanz bar, black ns midnight, with ivorieg of brilliant whiteness, gaxing wiij; wonder at tho, to them, strange nod unac customed sights of civilized liln, ntul followed hy n crowd of raping urchins who sc-om to consider them tie 'lions' of tho day."

NUMBER 13 Morr about tlio Telfair Capture. Uouj-isca, Maw h 1H, 1859. To the Editor of the Savannah Republican• Dear air:—I hav# just seen n letter in a recent issue of your paper, from one Alex ander T. Dopson, in rsfsrenco to the recent rapture of Xfricsne in Telfair county, wh<« says that I statsd that the nogroea worn Af- ricane, and a part of the cargo of the Wan derer, and that said Africans worn iny prop erty. This statement it tu true. 7 am (he in- dividual alluded to as “Mr. Akin”. I sta led to tho parties who took the negroes from mo h violence, and, as I believed for tho purpose of feloniously appropriating them to their own use, that they were tho prop erty of U. A. Ij. Lamar, of Savannah. But sven admitting that they were Africans, and that they we.-o n portion of tho negroes said to have been brought in tho Wanderer, they, the parties seeking to take thp.n, had no warrant or authority, and then fore no right to moleat them. But notwithstanding this remonstrance, these pretended palrioti did take possession of the slaves in iny charge, (some of which they knew not to bo Afri cans,) as well as other property, such as mules, wagons dee.. And l further state, upon the authority of gentlemen of respect- tnbihly and position in and about Jackson ville, that tho parlies, this Alexander T. Dopson among the number, did procoed to divido tho properly of Mr. Lamur eo wrong- fully taken hy thrrn.stnongstthcmielvc*. And furthor, that when upon the remonstrance of tho honest and law abiding citizens of Tcl- fuir county, the other parties to this violence hod agreed to deliver up tho negroes, and other properly tome, this man, Dopson, and Ins son Robert Dopson, did take the custody ol three negroes from the legal au thorities of the iouui/ of Telfair, and with Tut CoNJiitiB akd tub Yankek—Ander son, the wizzard, met with ths Yankee, who stole s march on him one day,after the follow ing pattern : Enter Yankee. “I say ! sre you Professor Anderson !" “Yes, sir, at your service." “Wn'nl, you’re a tarnation smart man, and I’m surnlhin' at a trick too, kinder cute, deu “Ah, indeed, and what tricks aro to, »ir 1" asked the professor, amused at the simple fellow. “Wa'al, I can take n ml cent nnd change it into a ten dollar gold piece."
