THE DAILY TIMES. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4 What will be done with the Africans? There are at this tim *. thre-3 .hundred Africans at Castle Pinknny, S. C., who were taken captive on the coast of Guinea to be sold in Guta. The brig Echo containing the cargo, was pursued as a suipii'ious looking vessel, and captured as a slaver near the Island of Cuba, by the Dolphin. The officers will be tried at Columbia, S. C. .and per haps convicted of a breach of the iawe of the United State?-? The question then ari<es, which is a difficult problem lor solution, what disposition is to be made ol the negroes? Will they be sent back to Guinea in a U. 3. veseel? Gen. Walker was ab ducted from the shores of Nicaragua in violation of ail international law, v and j his rights as a citi zen of that territory, beyond .tho jurisdiction of the United States, and yet he was not sent back ! It was alleged in extenuation ol this act and un lawful interference on the part ol our government, that Walker’s aims and purposes were those of a wild enthusiast —a , reckless adventurer, whose ambition for power would not be checked by the innocent blood ot Nicaraguans, that flowed at his feet? The government seized him, as an act of charily and mercy to the Nicarguans, who dreaded the name of Walker. These Aliicans have been abducted from Guinea —they are iree persons, having the liberty ot selection as to their future homo. They desire to remain in the Uni ted States, rather than return to Guinea, where they live in constant dread and apprehension of being barraeoonod and sent captives to the Island of Cuba. Then is the government to force them to return, against their own k will and ihoice? Would it not be an act of charity to give them a home among a free people, where their condition would bu ameliorated, and where they would ad vance in civilization? It would be in accordance with our views and taste, were they placed on the rice plantations in Carolina, under humane mas ters, who would provide for their wants, clothe and feed them well. To this proposition, howev e ,the abolitionists would raise their hands in holy horror,and wage against our institutions in the future a more unrelenting, unceasing warfare. — Therefore, wo do not propose. it. The aboli tionists, however, profess „a greater devotion to the sweets of freedom than we do—they profess a greater love lor the poor negro, whom we abuse and neglect> They desire the negroes to be emancipated. In Missouri, they would set free, had they sufficient power, the negroes of that State, numbering ose hundred and ten thousand, and worth fifty millions of dollars. They would make them free persons of color to roam over the adjoining States to eat out the substance of the laboring class of white men and to associate with them as brothers. Now we submit, in all earnestness, that the Presidin'. of the United States permit the .captured Africans t< remain horein accordance with their wishes as free men, who’ have a just right to select their future home. That ihe Africans be sent to the good people of Boston, aa a gracious gift irom the people of the South. We believe this, is the best disposition that can be made of them. They go among their “equals” and ‘‘brothers” who will take care of them. Then, herealter, they will be prepared to appreciate the beauty of emancipation and will have a practical test ol its workings. The Africans and the Cargo.—The Law. From the following law passed in 1819, it will be se°n that it is discretionary with the President, whether he returns the captured Africans at Castlo Pinckney to Alrieaor leaves them within the lim its of the United States. The law simply gives the power to the President to send the slaves out of the Country without miking it obligatory upon him to do so. It reads: Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the President of the United States be, and he is here by, authorized to make such regulations and ar rangements as he may deem expedient for the safe keeping, support,and removal beyond !h® limits of the Uuited States of all such negroes, mulat toes, or persons of color, as may bo so delivered and brought within their jurisdiction. And to ap point a proper person or persons, residing upon the coast of Africa, as agent or agents for receiving the negroes, mulattoei, or persons of color, deliv ered from on board vessels sti.ced in the prosecu tion of the slave trade by commanders of the Uni ted States’ armed vessels. The laws provide the penalty of death of those who are connected in the violation of the Uuited States laws prohibiting the trade. The Mercury says that “their trials will take place at Columbia, before His Honor Judge Wayne, Circuit Judge, James Conner, United States District Attorney, prosecuting officer. The Court begins to sit the 4th Monday in November.” Speaking of the crew, the Mercury says : •‘One is a Greek, one an Italian ; some of them are Portugese, some Spaniards, and some Eng lish. Someof them talk about New York, but none of them now admit that they are Americans, or have a whereabouts in this Country. These smugglers area desperate looking set of fellows.” The officers and crow of the Dolphin, under the laws ol 1819, will receive a bounty of twenty five dollars for each African, who has been de livered to the United States Marshal. The new Consul to Havana. We are gratified to learn, says the Mobile Regr tster, that the appointment of Consul General to Havana ha? been given to Major Chas. J. Helm, of Kentucky. A better appointment could rot have been made. Major Helm, besides being an accomplished and worthy gentleman, has had an experience that well fits him for his new post. Ho Ifeld the position of U. S- Consul at St. Thomas for some five years dutiug the late and present ad ministranons, and was particularly distinguished for the ability and efficiency with which ho acquit ted himself in it. Asa testimony ol his zeal and popularity as a public officer, he was the recipient, on retiring from his post, of the present of a mas sive service of plate from the merchants ol New York and S t. Thomas, as a tribute of their res pect and regard. The practice of removing our public agents abroad who have given tho highest satisfaction and exhibited the greatest efficiency in their offices, and of replacing them with new, in experienced and unsuitable persons, is an abuse and evil in our government very much to be deplored; and we are glad to observe this one instance, at least, in which the present administrat on, has ehown a proper and just appreciation of the im portance of retaining in the public service such ol our agents abroad as have proved their capacity, gained experience, and deserved well of their coun try by their efficient service. In this way only can our public interest abroad be properly snb •erved. Yellow Fever in New Orleans. The yellow fever is still progressing in New’ Orleans The mortality during the week ending August 29th, was 401. This is a greater number than during any week since 1853. It has not yet reached the maximum of 1847, which was 571. It is a question of deubt, whether the disease has yet reached its climax. There is a great fluctuation in the mortality from day to day. Hence the difficulty in determining when the period of culmination has been reached. There has been 1,279 death? since the commence ment of the Epidemic. Independent South. This is the title of a well-edited sheet in Griffin. It ttears a captivating name and it? province is to defend the institutions of the South against ene mies abroad and false friends at home. Query. Why does our friend, the Editor, devote nearly all his space in the last impression of his Journal to the troubles of the democracy and theapostacy of Douglas, and not allude to that ‘‘incorruptible patriot and statesman,” Mr. Crittenden, who stands upon the same platform with Douglas ? We fear he still thirsts after the flesh-pots of Know-Nothingism. The name of the latter is not mentioned, and yet he is more acceptable to the Black Repnblicans than Mr. Douglas. We have beforo us an Illinois newspaper—Re publieanm politics—with the following inscription at its mast-head—J. J. Crittenden for President— Abram Lincoln, Senator. Is not this a commen tary upon such eulogists of Mr. Crittenden, as tho Savannah Republican, Macon Journal fij Mes senger, Atlanta American, Augusta Chronicle N Sentinel, et id omne genus ? A Rich Estate. —The estate of John Law rence, of Watertown, England, is of immense value, consisting of millions of dollars, in tho keeping of tho English government. Notice has been given to the heirs to eorne forward and prove their identity, and we learn that the claimants, as heirs at law, are John B. Highton, Thomas Brane Highton, Mehitable Edwards, and Mary Cone, all of this State. We are also informed that our indomitable and energetic citizen, Levi S. Rus sel, Esq., has already gone on, with evidence pro ving the heirship of the above parties, to this vast estate. The evidence was taken before the Ordi nary of Bulloch county, in conformity to tho Amendatory Statute of England, and an original record connected with, the case was made in the year 1804. We learn that the profits in possession of Mr. Russell, together with tho record evidence, are positive, in lavor of the heirehip of these par ties. We most heartily wish Mr. Russell success in his undertaking.— Savannah Morning News. The Atlantic Telegraph Charter —lt is said that Lord Derby has signified the willingness of the British government to so amend the char ter of the Atlantic Telegraph Company as to place the United States and the British govern ments or. a footing of absolute equality. Denouncing The Supreme Court.— We learn from the subjoined paragraph, which we find in the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer iof the 14th inst. that the Supreme Court of Georgia has been so un fortunate in one of its decisions as not to concur with the wishes of a portion of the people of that State, who propose in consequence to adopt a very summary mode for the removal of the evil under wh ch they complain. We suppose that ac cording to the theory of the Georgia Constitution the Supreme Court is the highest tribunal known to the State judicature,but it would seem that some of the people have discovered a right of appeal trorn its decisions to the arbitrament of the Legislature, which is called to pronounce sentence of outlawry ou'the f aid court because its dcisions do not square with the popular judgment.— N. O, Bulletin, From the Columbus Enquirer, Supreme Court,—Col. Holt, Messrs. Editors : A correspondent who appropriates to his own use the attractive name of “Truth,” in pretended reply to another who uses the name of “Justice,” has thought proper to introduce into his Communication my name and to make such aliusicn thereto as, in my judgment, de mands a “passing notice.” Newspaper controversies are not to my taste, and I would that I could feel at lib erty, even upon the advice and solicitation of valued friends, to avoid this. Few who have been so actively', yet humbly engaged in the exciting scenes and strifes of profes sional life, have more anxiously and more successfully avoided them. lifthe contests in which it has been my fortune to partici pate—-usually lor others, rarely for myself- I have sought the ear and judgment of the Courts, rather than the prejudices and passions of the populace ; and when de feated before the one, have not felt at liber ty to appeal to the other. “Truth,” I suppose, incited thereto by the allusion of “Justice,” to the large per sonal interest of Mr. Dougherty in certain Bank cases, comes forward to set off that charge by pleading that I, too, had a per sonal interest in the same litigation, and to define that interest. If this writer intended to throw himself upon the principles of the law of set-off, he should have remembered that they do not apply unless demands are mutual. If the one exists legitimately, and the other by purchase, the pita will not pie vail. And so of interests in law suits, if one interest, for the purpose of effecting re sults or character, is to be set off against another. The nature and origin of rny sup posed interest will be presently shown ; and if it be true, as has been urged before the Courts, that Mr. Dougherty’s interest has been purchased by ala rue investment of professional labor and the hazard of the costs of a most extensive li'igation, then there is an absence of that mutuality which will aliow the one to be set off against the other. “Truth,” in allusion to a cer tain discussion before the Supreme Court and to myself, says that “lie (I) had a personal interest —having held at onetime four hundred and eighty-eight .shares, and his father-in-law, M. YV. Perry, over thir teen hundred shares of the stock of this broken Bank, and liable for its biils to that extent. It is true, that the number of shares, as stated, were at one time transfeired to my name, and for a brief period remained thus transferred. It is untrue, that while they were so held, they were the “shares of a brjken Bank.” On the contrary, it is true, and by the sworn and uncontrud'cted evi dence of the best informed and most credi ble witnesses, that while these shares were in ray name as a stockholder, the Bank was abundantly solvent, and so remained for three years after my connection with it ceas ed, and was made known as having ceased by the semi-annual publication of its list ol stockholders. My connection with this Bank as a stock* holder, was simply and briefly this: Early in its history, Gen. S. Armstrong Bailey esteemed by all who knew him as a high minded, honorable and chivalric gentleman —asked my leave to have transferred to my name one hundred and eighty-eight shares; and I gave it, without asking his motives, satisfied then and now that neith er wrong to myself, fraud upon others, nor any concealed or sinister purpose, influen ced the request. Of the shares hold by Ma i. Perry, he had previously transferred to himself, as Trus tee for his daughter—whom it was my for tune to marry in 1838—three hundred, and these he subsequently transferred to me. As early as October J 1839, these shares were transferred by me, and thus com menced, continued and ended my connec tion with them, and in any form with this Bank—which, I repeat, was made known to all concerned by a semi-annual publi cation during the years 1840—-’4l—’42 Over this stock I do not now remembet ever to have exercised any control. I may have done so. The transaction has grown very old, and memory may be at fault. Sure I am, that I paid nothing for it, and derived from it no manner of benefit.— “Truth” says that I am liable to its extent for the redemption of the bills of tho Bank. This may be so. It is a question of law, and this 1 have no purpose now to dis cuss. But l presume, as “Truth” comes before the public to censure and condemn the conduct of Judges, to assert the liability of parties, to contrast the respective person al interests of Mr. Dougherty and myself, and to complain of the persecutions of Mr. D., that be too is not without a personal in terest in this litigation. Acting upon this presumption, and pre ferring to “agree with mine adversary by the wayside,” I propose, him a compro mise whi> n may save him the delay of lit igation, the hazard of costs, or the sacrifice of half hi-; claim for its collection. If he or any honorable man will present me the bills of this Bank held bv him while my name appeared as one o r hs stockhol ders, or while the Bank had a legal exis tence—and held upon the faith of its hav ing once so appeared, or upon any belief on his pari that I was liable for their pay ment uittil after such liability was discov ered and announced by a construction of the law which, however just and right it may be, is without a precedent to sustain it —then to the extent of the moderate earn ings of a laborious life 1 will promptly re deem all such bills. Is “Truth” willing to have payment upon any other terms ? Is he willing to make tho measure of his acquisitions what he can happen to get? I submit, that the great principles of truth itself, and the ob ligations of the members of society to each other, demand only fthat jjie should pay the damages who has committed the wrong—that he should answer the pen alty who has violated the contract.— “Truth,” for the purpose of making more extensive nrty persona! interest, has been pleased to allude to the fact that Major Perry, too, was a stockholder. I will only I add, in answer to this, that he too, about | the same time with myself, (having previ | ously removed from the State,) transferred his stock and ceased all manner of con nection with the bank—leaving it abun dantly able to pay all its debts, and it so continued for years thereafter. | But, Mr. Editor, “Truth,” having, I sup '■ pose accomplished one ol the great ends i ofbis appearance—contrasted the personal interests of Mr. Dougherty and myself, and thereby lessened the force of our efforts for our clients—-goes a step be\ond, and after parading my name and tho e connected : with me as stockholders, reiterates the cry of fraud! fraudulent practices and purpo ses, on ihe part of the stockholders of this broken Bank! He but repeats the lesson as it has been taught him speaks the speech as it has been pronounced to him. He must, however, remember that it is one thing to deal with men’s purses—another to deal with their reputations. When he seeks to prostrate judicial character and in tegrity, to assail indiscriminately any por i tion of his fellow-citizens, he presents issues ) that Courts cannot decide. My position as a stockholder has beendis | closed, and I further define it by stating I that I am, and have been for ten years, ! counsel for most of those who, at the in ! stance of seventeen plaintiffs as bill-holders, ! have pending against them some hundred i and fifty suits for the recovery of the bills | of th is Bank. Against all who ever held stock in this | Bank this charge of fraud has been made I for ten years, and it has rested upon the : naked assertion of those who have made i and repeated it. And this I maintain by a brief statement of stubborn facts. TO BE CONCLUDED. Interesting from Utah. St. Louis, Aug 27.—The Salt Lake l correspondent of the Republican says that ; David A.

The Duel between Messrs Calhoun and Brevoort YVe venture to publish the following ex— ; tract from a letter recently received, dated Paris, August sth, and written to a friend jin this City. The writer is, of course, weii j known in Columbia, and the names men tioned in the letter are too farniiiary known over the State, socially and otherwise, for I us to be charged with indelicacy in giving them in full: “The statements in the American papers ; in relation to the duel between Ransom Calhoun and young Brevoort, were so vague and unsatisfactory, that I have been induced, since my arrival in Paris, to make some particular inquiries concerning the whole affair. To my entire satisfaction, I have found that the conduct of our young coun tryman throughou was up to every requisite of his friends and State-brave, honorable and judicous, Mr. Alan Izard, Mr. Robert Pringle and Judge Mason, speak in the highest terms of Calhoun’s conduct and bearing. 1 have also spoken with Col Pick ens Gov, Aiken and others, who seem great ly gratified, that in a case of extreme delica cy and difficulty, Mr. Calhoun has borne himseif with the manliness becoming his namejand State, and the discretion demand ed by his position. The immediate case was this: for harsh words spoken, Brevoort struck Calhoun. Calhoun challenged. Bre | voort fired after time.

The place on which I now reside, known as the Barna Ivey plantation, contains 2,475 acres, with a large proportion fresh and Hammock land. There are on the plantation 1,400 acres cleared, and in a fine state of cultiva lion, thoroughly drained, with a large number of ; well located ditches. The dwelling is com modi- ; ou3, having 6 large rooms, neatly finished, and is j situated within tho corporate limits of Glenuviile, convenient to the Colleges and Churches. The i out-houses are in good repair and suflirie.it for the ! I accommodation of 100 negroes.
