African Slave Trade.
The arrival of the Wanderer with a cargo of
slaves has created a little talk about the policy of
reopening the trade at the South, and elicited
great tears of sympathy from the abolitionists at
the North. Few Southern men desire the law
violated, no matter how terrible the penalty for a
slight offence, and hence their willingness to pun
ish those with death who run the guantlet in
carrying on the African slave trade. But we ap
prehend no Southern man thinks the trade any
criminal offence except so far as the lam makes it.
It is an offence against the law and regulations of
a corporation to fire rockets within its limits;
there is no crime in the act itself.
As long as slavery is held to be a divine insti
tution—as long as Southern men regard it as
right and with a conscience void of offence can
carry on the slave-trade between the States,
go long will they condemn the African slave trade
as a matter of policy merely and not as an ofience
against humanity or morality. It is_an establish
ed proposition, that our title to property in slaves
cannot be defended without defending the African
slave-trade. The policy of introducing it is en
tirely a different question, and is one upon which
Southern ruen may legitimately differ without
any suspicion of their want of loyalty to the in-
Dutuuon. xi is a quesrion or commerce which Is
to be regulated by the wants and demands of a
community. No Southern man we trust, howev
er, will contend that the slave-trade is “piracy”—
though the United States law makes it so, and we
obey the law—without admitting that the slave is
plunder. If it is a crime to take him, it is a
crime to keep him—and we may as well abandon
slavery- as to admit a “wrong in the means of its
formation.”
Then while we desire to be understood as
neither advocating nor opposing the policy of re
opening the African slave-trade—while we desire
to have executed the law as long as it is on the
statute hook, yet, we will never believe it is an
offence tu carry on the slave-trade, except as made
so by law. It is a legal and not a moral offence.
It may be impracticable to discuss the re
opening of the African slave-trade—the brand of
“piracy” put upon it will never be wiped out as
long as the North is in the ascendency. This
Southern men may expect —the South is too weak
to put on the statute book that “slavery in right.”
They will sooubc unable to admit a Slave-State
—it will be impracticable — then we imagine we
shall submit. In the meantime, it is becoming
tho South that sho should vindicate her integrity
and the purity of her institutions by assuming the
true position, that slavery is neither a political,
moral nor social evil—that it is divine in its origin
—that our title to slaves is found in the justice of
the slavs-trade —that we try men for carrying it
on between another country- and this in accor
dance with the law, while we oppose the introduc
tion of more slaves as a matter of policy, and
policy only.
Christinas In New York.
New York, Dec. 2(s.— Christmas was very
generally observed throughout tho city yester
day. Among the most interesting celebrations
and festivities were those at. the Home for the
Friendless. Three hundred little children who
aro there cared for were present, many of them
singing and speaking very prettily. Between one
and two thousand persons visited them during
the day, taking them numerous presents.
Southern Pacific Railroad Convention.
New Orleans, Dec. 25. — [Evening.] — The
report of the Southern Pacific Railroad Conven
tion’s General Committee shows a satisfactory
condition of affairs. Sufficient money has been
received to meet tho terms of tho compromise, and
all doubts of the success of the road are dispelled.
J. Butler King addressed the Convention this
evening.
The Convention will adjourn to-night.
Judge Perkins.
Judge Perkins,* of Cuthbert, was nomina
ted on last Tuesday as a candidate for Judge of
the Pataula Circuit, in the place of the lamented
John A. Tucker. From what wc hear, we have
no doubt that Judge Perkins will be elected.—
Judge Perkins has already had six year's experi
ence upon the bench, and has sustained himself
too well to be passed by in January, for the bene
fit of anew man.- —Atlanta Intelligencer of the
2bth inst.
A New Railroad Bridge.—We understand
that the proposed Bridge, upon which to bring the
cars of the Girard und Mobile Railroad across the
river, will probably be spoedily constructed. The
Central Railroad, we learn, had agreed to build
the Bridge if it could be done for a stipulated
sum; a survey apd estimates have demonstated
that it will not cost more than this sum, and the
necossary contract will therefore be closed. The
proposition is to cross the river between the old
city Bridge and the Wharf, near the foot of
Thomas stroct, the railroad track being sufficient
ly elevated to permit drays and other vehicles on
their way to or from the Wharf to pass under it.
It is thought that the Bridge can be completed by
or before the first of July next.— Enquirer.
Calhoun, Ga,. on Christmas eve, Jos.
t. A\ alker, a youth ol about nineteen years, was
accidently shot dead by Julius A. Frailey, another

Dispatch.
Railroad Management.
Various reasons have prompted us to publish
the Report of R. R. Cuyler, Esq, the able Presi
dent of Central Railroad, in onr paper to dav. It
contains a well merited tribute to the lamented
Foote, late Chief Superintendent, and to other of
ficers. But our principal reason for publishing it.
is to show the difference between the profits of pri
vate or individual enterprises, and public and State
enterprises.
By this Report it appears
that the gross earnings of
the Central Road for ISSS,
Whilst current expenses are.. 541,126 33
Leaving an ftfceess over ordin
arv expenses, of $812,595 62
Now let the people contrast the above exhibit
with the revenue derived from their great State
interest, and say whether it is not best to sell out
or lease the Stare Road to private individuals, or
companies ? There is not a Road in Georgia that
has been as poor pay as the State Road Jfaoon
Mexican Depredations on our Commerce.
Washington, Dec. 24, 1858.
Parties intimately connected with Mexico, and
having a widely extended knowledge of Mexican
affairs, aro urging upon our government the send
ing c of several vessels of war to Tampico, with
positive orders to compel Garza to restore what he
has plundered from American citizens, in the
same way that he was compelled to make restitu
tion to the Spanish merchants.
Five American vessels have been fired into, de.
tained andjrobbed by him, and the cargo of one
was ordered to be discharged on the beach, while
he was besieging the city, and was then sent by
him into the interior on his own account. The
vessel was then made a cover to his launches in an
attack on a fort, was perforated with shot holes,
and the chief mate’s hand shot away. Her coip
mandcr, Captain Trow iff, was imprisoned for
eleven days, and only released on the arrival of
tho United States steamer Fulton ; but no indem
nity was exacted. Strong protests have been
made before Mr. Chase, the Consul; but he, of
course, has no means of enforcing them, while the
want of action on thepurt of our government ren
ders his official protection of little avail, and his
influence daily weaker. The Spanish Consul is
now the only strong man in Tampico, and Spanish
interests the only ones respected by Governor
Garza.
The Postmaster General will respond to the call
of the Senate for information as to how the expen
ditures of his department may be reduced and how
its incomolnay be increased, but will not connect
with his report any recommendation beyond what
is in his annual report, leaving it to Congress to
act as it pleases from information he will give.

Affairs In I'tali—Brigham Young to be Tried.
On Tuesday afternoon, Messrs. Henry Bayse/
of Weston, Charles Lemmon, of St. Louis, and
Benjamin Duncan, of this city, arrived direct from
the Great Salt Lake City. These gentlemen left
with the mail on the morning of the 20th of No
vember. Mr. Majors, of the firm of Russell, Ma
jors & Waddle, in company with Dr. Hobes, was
also to leave Salt Lake City for the States, by pri
vate conveyance, on the following Monday.
Brigham Young was to have been tried before
the United States District Court on the Monday
following, for false imprisonment of Gentile citi
zens. It was rumored that he would have to be
forced to attend Court by the United States sol
diers. Two days before the party left, a young
Mormon arrived in Salt Lake City, direct from the
Cherry Creek gold mines. He reported that the
miners were making from $lO to sl2 per day.—
Provisions were scarce and consequently very high
at the mines. He had come to Salt Lake City
after a fresh supply, and would return immedi
ately. He stated ihat wagons had also been sent
to the States expressly for provisions.
The snow was three feet deep in the mountains,
and it took the mail party two days to got from
Salt Lake City to Webber River, a distance of
forty-five miles. The snow in many places was
up to the coach beds.
A number of traders’ trains were met in Echo
Canon, unable to get through. They had lost
great numbers of their stock. The snow averaged
eighteen inches in depth, from Big Mountain to
Plattea Bridge.— St. Joseph’s Jour. Dec. 14.
Tiie South Carolina Senate ami the Independence
Monument.
The Senate of South Carolina, on the 16th of
December, passed the bill to aid in the construc
tion of a monument so the signers of the Declara
tion of Independence in Independence square,
Philadelphia.
Mr. Hampton stated why he had moved for a
reconsideration of the bill, and laid before the
Senate the information which he had received in
relation to the matter.
The monument would cost $125,000, and each
State would contribute as follows: New Hamp
shire, $3,000; Massachusetts, SII,OOO ; Rhode
Island, $2,000 ; Connecticut, $4,000 ; New York,
$33,000; New Jersey, $5,000: Pennsylvania,
$25,009 ; Deleware, SI,OOO ; Maryland, $6,000 ;
Virginia, $12,000 ; North Carolina, SB,OOO ; Geor
gia, $8,000; South Carolina, $6,000. He asked
if South Carolina should be tbo only State of the
thirteen who would refuse to contribute to per
petuate the memory of those bold spirits of ’7O
who signed that Declaration. Ho hoped that
there were too much patriotism in the heart of
each Senator to refuse to vote for this contribu
tion.
He informed the Senators how the paper rela
ting to the matter came into his hands, and in
a touching manner referred to W. C. Preston, by
whom it was sent.
Mr. Mazyck said that since the motion was
made the other day, he had cause to change his
ideas upon the subject. He expressed himself as
strong a sectional man as could bo found in the
State. He hoped to see the day when Pennsyl
vania and South Carolina would not be under the
same government. 11c hoped that the bill would
pass.
Mr. Rhett had before voted against this bill as
be thought it was a Yankee trick to obtain money;
but now he should vote for it, as he had learned
that all the other States had made appropriations.
The yeas and nays were called. Yeas 25 : nays
12. So the bill was agreed to und ordered to be
sent to the House.

cents, coined in the days of Alexander tbe Great,
i 335 years B. C. It was picked up in tbe streets

The Wanderer Case.
‘* Savannah, Dec. 29.—The Wanderer ease was j
resumed this morning. The first witness refused
to testify, and he was sent to prison.
Cap. II B Frazier, commanding the steamer Au- j
gusta, testified that in his capacity as a steamboat |
captain, he had transported one hundred and sev- ;
enty-five negroes up the Savannah river, to with
in two miles of the city- of Augusta, on the 13th
of Decemby. He said the negroes could not, or
at least did not, speak English, and he gave it
as his opinion that they- were Africans.
Captain Christy-, of the steam tug Lamar, refus
ed to testify.
Tho case is continued until to-morrow. There
is a large number of witnesses in attendance.
Latest from Central America.
The British Steamship Valorous not yet arrived
at Aspinwall—Arrival there of the British Mail
Ship from Greytown.
The brig Caroline, Capt. J. Potter, from Aspin
wall Dec. 7, arrived at this port early yesterday
morning. Tho Caroline anchored off Sandy Hook
on Thursday evening making passage home in
sixteen days, and bringing advices three days la
ter than those received by the Moses Taylor.
Business at Aspinwall was uncommonly brisk,
and everybody- seemed to be occupied ; quite a
large number of vessels were lying in the har
bor.
At the time that the Caroline left the United
States storeship Relief weighed anchor and set
sail for New York.
The Rritifiii Q ahfcW-iwiih/ mcmiici luiu not &r
---rived at Panama at the time of the departure of
the Caroline, but was hourly- expected.
The British mail steamer from Greytown arrived
the day before the ( sailed, but brought no news
of interest. Son; distinguished personage ar
rived by- it, and ~as immediately taken on shore
by the boat of t,ie United United States flag-ship
lloanoke. Commodore Mclntosh, then lying at
Aspinwall.
The British steam frigate Valorous had not ar
rived with Sir Win. Gore Ouselcy, but was expect
ed with considerable interest. On his arrival Sir
Gore will have an interview with Commodore
Mclntosh, after which he will proceed across the
Isthmus to Panama, where the British steamer
Alert awaits to receive him. lie is to proceed to
Costa Itica to have a diplomatic confab with Pres
ident Mora. He next visits President Guardiola,
of Honduras, relative to the retrocession of the
Bay Islands to that republic.
The Caroline had her foresail and fdretopsail
rent in the gale of Wednesday last,
The thermometer, in the shade, off Cape Florida,
on Friday last, was eighty-six degrees, which
Captain Potter thought remarkable for the pres
ent season of the year. Capt. I*, and crew had to
don their lightest garments, and on deck were at
that comformtably warm.

Spain.—The Queen's speech, on opening the
Cortes, was a comparatively lengthy- one. Sho
acknowledges the enthusiasm with which she was
greeted in her late provincial tour, and announces
that relations with friendly powers are most cor
dial and sincere. In regard to Mexico, all means
compatible with the national dignity to prevent
peace being disturbed had been adopted: but if
contrary to expectation, an immediate result is not
obtained by- pacific negotiations, a vigorous and
energetic employment of the resources already
prepared will be resorted to. Reference is made
to the difficulties with Morocco in regard to the
Riff pirates, and a hope expressed that the Emper
or will prevent any- necessity- for recourse to force
in future. The Cochin China expedition is also
alluded to. The remainder of the speech is con
fined to local topics, including a promise of anew
press law, and an assurance that there will be no
new imposts, the revenue being equal to the ordi
nary expenditures.
Russian Travelers in Italj-.—An English
man, writing from Nice on the 6th of November,
says: “Russian families continue to pour in by
stcamcr and by post chaise, and the Slavonic ele
ment decidedly prevails here. The Russian young
ladies are charming specimens of the sex, but
their mammas generally havo a hungry and dis- !
contented expression of countenance. Their pa- :
pas are tall, slim men, with moustaches, who seem :
eaten up by spleen, while their brothers wear
bright colored kid gloves over dirty nails, and !
seem to think breaking the bank at Baden-Baden j
the noblest achievement within the grasp of man.” I
Gentlemanly and Spicy.— -Senator Jones, of
lowa, has addressed a letter to Senator Douglas,
which concludes as follows :
This, sir, is the third time you have made “in
famously false” accusations against me, aud that
I have been compelled to fasten the lie upon you.
Though you may, at the sacrifice of Democratic
organization, have effected a triumph in your
State, as you say, ‘‘over Executive and Congres
sional diction,” I can but look with contempt up
on any fame or position you may have acquired
by a union with “white spirits and black, blue
spirits and gray.” Black Republicans, South Ame
ricans, disappointed office-seekers, &c., as I do
upon the miserable resort to opprobrious epithets I
connected with my name, but covered with a j
I contingency which gave a sure escape.

WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVE.
Among all preparations for the hair that have
been introduced as infallible, none has over given
the satisfaction or gained the popularity that I
Prot. Wood’s Hair Restorative now has. His
Restorative has passed the ordeal of innumerable
fashionable toilets, and the ladies, wherever they
havd tested it,pronounce it a peerless article. They
find, where the hair i3 thinned, that it creates, a
frc3h growth—that it fully restores the vegetative
power of the roots on the denuded places, and
causes the fibres to shoot forth anew—that it dis
solves and removes dandruff, prevents grayness,
restores the hair to its original color when gray
ness has actually supervened, gives a rich lustre,
imparts the sojtness and flexibility of silk to the
hair, &ud Beeps it always luxuriant, healthy and
in full vigor.— New York Tribune.
