* t'OLlilßlN FRIDAY. DECEMBER ls5H. 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 youth. So says a correspondent of the Augusta 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. Thp. of the landing of the fillibusters in Nicaragua, al though there is no doubt they have landed.

A T . Y. Herald. 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. Confirmation by the Senate. Wasington, Dee. 22.

When the office | is once filled and becomes vacant, it is to expire, j The resolution was referred to the committee*n I naval affairs. i The Senate also to-day confirmed R. W. Nolley, of Ivy., as secretary of the legation to Spain. Ancient Coins. —Among the coins presented to the Tennessee Historical Society recently, was a Grecian Drachma, of silver,of value about 17 cents, coined in the days of Alexander tbe Great, i 335 years B. C. It was picked up in tbe streets j of the once buried Pompeii by Wo. 11. Polk, esq., while ho was in Italy as charge d'affairs of the l nited States to the Two SieilLs, in 1845.

There aro several j symbols, and the inscription Alexandron on tho j same side. 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.

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. Statistics of the Catholic Church. The Metropolitan Catholic Almanac for 1859, just issued, contains the follotving statistics in reference to the present condition of the Catholic Church in the United States, contrasted with its condition in the years 1839 and 1849: 1839.

Provinces 7 Dioceses 43 Vicariates 2 Bishops ; 45 Priests 2108 Churches 2334 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.
