Wd tawc lotig observed and deprecat
ed a pernlciou* practice which is too
general* if not universal in the South
ern'State*. It is the loose and unguar
ded discussion before negroes, of the
political excitement of which they are
the cause. Nothing is more common
than to hear on the streets, at hotel
tables and in the &mily circles, the de
signs and efforts of the abolitionists to
effect the emancipation of our slaves,
fully and finely canvassed in thsir ’pres
ence. they are often permitted to at
tend public political discussions where
these topics are presented In the stron
gettlight. Anyone who has noticed them
on such occasions, coaid not bnt have
remarked the eagerness with which they
listened to every word. The effect up
on their minds cannot be too gravely
estimated. The New York Post soon
aftar the Harper’s Ferry invasion, in
commenting upon that infamous and
bloody plot, predicted the eventual if
not speedy extinction of slavery at the
South by insurrection, instigated and
carried out .by anti-slavery murderers
snd villains. It draws a revolting and
horrible picture of the scenes then to
be enacted, and one of the grounds up
on which the prophesy is based and one
of the causes tending to bring about these
this very evil to whieh we now call the
attention of the Southern people is enu
merated and dwelt on at length.
We have no idea that our slaves would
desire freedom, if they knew the wretch
edness and woe it would entail upon
their race. Neither do we believe that
an attempt at a general insurrec
tion could ever be successful, yet,
imbibing as they do, in the manner we
have indicated vague and erroneous no
tions of the plans of the abolitionists,
a restlessness and dissatisfaction is en
gendered which to » considerable ex
tent destroys that. happiness and con
tentment which is the . natural result
of their proper oondition as slaves, and
leads them in some instances to acts of
insubordination which brings misery
and death upon families and even whole
communities, and the sevoreat punish
ment upon themselves. They imagine
that a scheme ia concocted at the North
which is fost approaching its consum
mation, by which they aie to be plat*
ed Upon on equality with their masters,
and enjoy all the blessings and privile
ges of the whites; that an army is ready
to march at the proper time not for in
the fhture, to aid them in their attempts
to throw off their bonds; that they are
in every respect the equals of those who
hold them in slavery, and that their
condition is inhuman and contrary to
the divine will. Such .exaggerated and
ridiculous ideas as these are the legiti
mate conclusions from the premises.
Any one who will consider toe matter
. in its proper light cannot fail to percieve
that it is so. We wish that we could
prevail upon Southern people to reflect
-upon this thing, and be more careful
and circumspect. It will bo better for
the happiness of the slaves and the
comfort and peace of their masters.
The African Slave Trade.
There seems to be no room for doubt
that this nefarious trade is increasing
rapidly* The profits are so large, and
. the- probability of being caught is so
smalt, that a pretty large fleet of ves
sels are engaged in it now. The slavers
raise the American flag if pursued by
the British, and if taken by our cruisers
before they have their cargoes on board,
they almost uniformly escape conviction
in oar courts. The Journal of Com-
I merce mentions two cases of recent oc
currence, in which vessels captured and
seat home, having all the appearance
Of being slavers, nave been “bonded,
stipulated for, and discharged from the
custody" of the United States marshal.
One of them sailed straightway for Afri
ca, and has been captured near -Loando
with 880 slaves on board. Our govern
ment have lately sent four light-draught
steamers to the coast of Guinea; and
they may pick up some of the fleet
craft which could sail round and round
our lumbering frigates.
It would seem that at this time, when
explorers are opening up the hitherto

A Singular Affair. -*'-.
the Cincinnati Gazette, of Saturday
last, gives the particulars of a singular
affair which occurred In that city the
day previous. It says:
“Soveraidays ago a man, known as
Dr. Handy, who had been doing busi
ness at or near the corner of Fourth
and Sycamore streets, called into his
office a negro lad, between sixteen and
seventeen year* of age, and made cer
tain overtures to him, whereby the
pockets of both of them might be en
riched. The sable hued lad was to al
low himself for a certain consideration,
to bo takon to Louisville, and there sold
into servitude, the progenitor of this
modern scheme of raising the wind,
picturing to the boy, serfdom in any
thing but an unpleasant light, and
promising, if a sale wore effected, to
bring immediately to his aid all the
agencies of the underground railroad,
and return him to freedom. The igno
rant negro thought it an admirable
chance to make a “dollar or two,” and
thoughtlessly assented to the conniving
Doctor’s preposition. They visited New
port, Ky., and employed the services of
a Notary, who drew up th# necessary
papers, which wore placed in the hands
of a third party, who took tho lad in
charge ana started with him to Lous-
ville, where a sale was effected—eleven
hundred dollars being offered, as the
worth of the chattel.
So far the scheme worked like a
charm, but the surroundings of a slave
market, and a life of perpetual bond
age, exerted a regretting influence on
the mind of the lad, and the story
leaked out. The matter was at once
taken in charge by the Louisville au
thorities, and yesterday an officer ar
rived in tho oit-y, who, with detective
Sam Bloom, succeeded in arresting the
avaricious Dr. The officer returned with
him to Louisville Inst evening, and un
less he does as Mr. Weller, Sen., pro
posed in the case of Bardell vs Pick
wick, prove an alibi, he will bo likely to
test the accommodations of Kentucky
hospitality at Frankfort. The person
to whom was entrusted the mission of
selling the negro, when the affair be
came known, was also retained in cus
tody, and will probably share the same
fate os his friend the Dr.
Origin of the Bayonet.
The Emperor Napoleon III, said in
his proclamation : “The new rifle arms
are only dangerous at a distance ; they
will not prevent the bayonet from being,
as heretofore, the terrible arm of the
French infantry.” The bayonet is, in
faet, an arm peculiarly French. It was
invented, it is said, ut Bayonne, in 1641,
and employed in 1670 in the regiment
of the King’s Fusiliers. It sensibly
modified the system of military art in
Europe, os it made cavalry loss redoubt
able to iniantry, and caused the fire of
lines of battlo to cease to be regarded
tho principal means of action. The
bayonet has, in fact, become the decis
ive arm of combat.
Acoording to a local tradition, it was
in a small hamlet in the envirous of
Bayonno that this arm was invented.—
What led to the invention of it was,
that in a fierce combat between Borne
Basque peasants and some Spanish
smugglers, the former having exhausted
their ammunition, and being thereby
at a disadvantage, fastened their long
knives to their muskets, and by means
of the weapon so formed put their ene
mies to flight. This arm rapidly came
into general use in Europe. After the
king's regiments, several others were
S rovided with the bayonet, and the
racoons received it in 1676. In 1678,
at the time of the pence of Niireguen,
all the French grenadiers had the bayo
net; but tiie socket which makes the use
of it so easy, was not invented till a la
ter period, An unsuccessful experiment
with socket was mode before Louis
XIV., in 1688; but the want of uni
formity in tho musket was then an ob
stacle to the adoption of this simple and
efficacious piece of mechanism. Bayo
nets at that time were a sort of dagger,
of which the handle was placed in the
muzzle of the musket, and, of course,
prevented the musket from being fired.
The first battle at which the bayonet
was seriously employed was that of Tu
rin, in 1692; but it was not until the
battle of Spries, in 1703, that the first
charge of the bayonet of executed.—
After that epoch, up to 1792, tho bayo
net was often employed in combat, and
the Prince Do Ligne called it “a pecu
liarly French arm,’’ owing to tho man
ner in whieh our soldiers used it; but
the real value of it was not revealed till
tho wars of national independence.—
Then the bayonet really became a
French arm. “The bullet is wild,” said
Suwaroff, “but the bayonet is prudent
and sure.—MonUeur.

The Lite Wm. E. Burton.—This dis
tinguished comedian, whips death we
briefly mentioned yesterday, was a na
tive of London, wneie ho was bom in
1802. His father was a printer and
publisher in good circumstances. Bur
ton received a liberal education and
followed fora time his father’s pursuits.
His taste for the drama and his success
as an amateur performer led him to
adopt the stage as a profession. In
1834 ho came to this country, and has
since been well known as Me proprietor
of various theatrical establishments and
as a very successful low comedian. In
1847 he purchased the Chambers street
theatre and associated his name and
labors with it. “Burton’s’’ was for ten
years the favorite resort of citixons and
strangers, and his best characters, “Too-
dies,” “Sleek," “Capt. Cuttle,” “Mi-
cawber,” andothers, were as well known
throughout the country, as household
words. He afterwards (in 1838) took
the Metropolitan Theatre on Broadway,
but finding business unprofitable, aban
doned it for starring. He, however, ac
cumulated a largo fortune, estimated at
nearly $400,000. As an author, many
dramatio pieces bear his noma, but he
is more widely known as the author of
"Cyclopedia of Wit and Humor,” pub
lished m two royal octavo volumes in
1888. Ho possessed a large, and very
oomplete Shakespearean library which
occupied a building in the rear of his
residence. Mr. Burton leaves a widow
and several daugh there.—N. F. Day

A Little Genus Story.
A countryman; on returning from the
city took home with him five of tho
finest peaches one oould possibly desire
to see; and os his children hod never
beheld the fruit before, they rejoioed
over them exceedingly, calling them
the fine apples with rosy cheeks and
soft plum like skins. Tne father divi
ded them among his four children, and
retained one for their mother. In the
evening, after the children retired to
their chamber, the father questioned
them by asking, “How did you like the
soft rosy apples?” “Very much in
deed, dear father,” said tho oldest boy ;
‘it is a beautiful fruit, so facid, and yet
so nice and soft to the taste; I have
carefully preserved tiie stone, so that I
may cultivate a tree.” “Bight and
bravely done,” said tbe father; “that
speaks well for regarding the future
with care, and is becoming in a young
husbandman.” “1 have eaten mine
and thrown the stone away,” said the
youngest,” “betides which mother gave
me half of her’s, oh 1 it tasted so swoot
and so melting in my mouth.” “In
deed,” answered the father, “thou host
not been prudent. Howover, it was
very natural and childlike, and displays
wisdom - enough for your years. “I
have picked up the stone,” said the
second son, “which my brother threw
away, cracked it, and ate the kemal—it
was as sweet as a nut to the taste—but
my peach I hare sold for so much
money, that when I go to the city I can
buy twelve of them.” The parent
shook his head reproachingly, saying,
“Beware, my boy, of avarice; prudence
is all very well, but such conduct os
yours is unchildlike and unnatural.—
Heaven guard thee, my child, from the
fate of a miser. And you, Edmund?”
asked the father, turning to his third
son, who frankly and openly said, “I
have given my peach to the son of our
neighbor, tho sick George, who bus had
theTever. He would not take it, so I
left it on the bed, and I have just come
away.” “Now,” said the father, “who
lias done the best with his peach ?”—
“Brother Edmund!” tho three exclaim
ed aloud; “Brother Edmund ;” Ed
mund was still and silent, and the
mother kissed him with tears of joy in
her eyes.
Discovery of a New Peanut.—It
was announced by the astronomer Le-
vorrier, about twelve pionths ago, that
he discovered certain perturbations in
the movement of tho planet Mercury
near its periholion, which could be ac
counted for only by tho existence of
another body between that planet and
the sun. As the diseovory of Neptune
wus owing to a simulur observation and
calculations founded upon it, public at
tention began to lie directed to the sub
ject with an equally happy result. On
tho 26th of March, a Dr. Loscnrbnult,
who resided at Orgeres, near Chartress,
France, and had long been an attentive
observer of tha heavens, saw a small
black round spot pass over the sun’s
disc.
Ho calculates that its dinmotcr is 310
leagues; the inclination of its orbit to
the ecliptic 19 degrees; the period of
revolution round tho sun 19 days and
17 hours; while its greatest apparent
distance from the sun is seven degrees,
or ten millions of miles, that of Mercu
ry being thirty-seven millions. M; Le-
verrier accepts this ns the planet he had
detected by abstract calculations. Mr.
Benjamin Scott, . an Englishman, has
since putin a claim of previous discov
ery, haring observed, ho says, a similar
phenomenon as long ago ns 1847.
Secession of two Churches from the
Philadelphia to the Virfinia Cob*
ferenee.
A correspondent of the Petersburg
Express, writing from Southampton
county, Va., says:
, Da»t Sunday, two largo mid influen
tial Churches in the county of Accomac,
formerly belonging to (he Philadelphia
Conference,|by a unanimous rote,placed
themselves under the supervision of the
preacher in charge of tho Kastville Cir
cuit ot the Virginia Conference. But
they did not thus change their commu
nion without a mighty effort being
made, on the part of their pastor ana
sister churches, to retain them. When
the day arrived which had boen ap
pointed for the voto to bo taken in tne
two Churches, the Presiding Elder was
found, together with tho Pastor, in the
pulpit, but strange to tell, the clate-book*
were nowhere to be found. Notwithstand
ing this new difficulty, and many other
obstacles which were thrown in their
path, the membership were fixed in
their conviction of right, and wore de
termined on their course of action.—-
The voting was done, both churches
came South without a dissenting voice,
thus proving their allegiance to the Old
Dominion and to her institutions, by
severing their connection with a North
ern ana connecting themselves with a
Southern Conference. These two
churches have set a noble example.
Jail Broken Opea fey a Mob and Six
Prisoners Ke«curd-*The Mail Bop- (
posed to fee Robbed. I
We are indebted to Gen. Anderson •
for n letter from the Postmaster at
Waverly, Humphrey* co., Tenn., dated '
Sunday morning, the 12th inst., from :
which we gather the following facts; >
On Friaav night, the 10th inst., a
party of desperadoes, consisting of
about thirty men, armed with double
barreled shot guns, &c„ attacked Mr.
McGee, the jailor at Waverly, as he was I
going to the jail about 7 o'clock in the
evening; confined and gagged him;!
took tiie key of tho outsiclc door from
him, and then carried him to a secure
E lnce, and while a part kept watch over
im, tho others went to work and cut
away the inside door, which, being iron,
occupier! four or five hours. They them
released six prisoners confined in the
jail, three of whom were sent from
Dickson county for safe keeping. The
three from Humphreys county were:
D. L. Crockett, confined under charges
of murder and theft; Isham Bethel,for
passing counterfeit money; and
McKimmons, for stealing. The mob
then started off with the prisoners and
the jailor, and having carried the latter
about fire miles, released him. The
Jailor returned to Waverly about three
o'clock Saturday morning. Their ob
ject in taking the Jailor with them is
supposed to be to prevent his giving the
alarm until they had ample time to
make their escape.
Intelligence reached Waverly Sunday
morning that the rescuers crossed the
Tcunessoo river four miles above the
ferry, where the mail crosses, and the
supposition at Waverly was that they
had attacked and robbed both mails,
the one going down to and the one com
ing up from Huntingdon, which gene
rally met tlireo milrs west of the Ten
nessee river at one o’clock in the after
noon. The driver at the stand two
miles enst of the river waited until
eight o’clock Sunday morning for the
mail coming up, und as it did not corns,
then being over-due by about twelve
hours, tiie supposition is that the res
cuers have capcured and perhaps car
ried off the stages and mails, if not to
rob the latter, nt least to prevent the
news spreading until they could get out
of reach.—Nashville News.

t& m h. Bill has been prepared for in
troduction into Congress, granting a
charter for n Pacific Railroad and Tele

chartered by the State of Texas, and of
which J. Edgar Thompson, of Pennsyl
vania, James Guthrie, of Kentucky,
John P. King, of Georgia, S. L. M. Bar-
low, of Now York, and various other
gentlemen are new Directors.
The substance o p the scheme embrac
ed in tho proposed charter is for the
Texas Company to build a railroad and
tolegraph to the Pacific on tho Texas
route, receiving therefor very extensive
grants of land, in the shape of altern
ate sections along the route, and a fur
ther bonus of one million of dollars for
every fifty miles of railroad and tele
graph constructed, until the Rood shall
rench the base of Rocky Mountains;
and of two millions of dollars for every
fifty ratios of road built nnd completed
from that point to tho Pacific; the
whole grant of money, or bonds, be
ing liinited to thirty-fivo millions of dol
lars.
The bill also embraces propositions of
the same character to build another Toad
nnd telegraph from the Missouri river
to tho Pacific on any route north of the
38th parallel of latitude, with a branch
to Oregon, which shall be found most
eligible, on the same terms and with
the same limitations os to tho fund*

Vulgar Sufskstition.—It is strango
enough that Friday is regarded in all
countries as a peculiar day. In Eng
land it it ia generally considered unluc
ky ; many people will not oommence
any undertaking on that day, and most
sailors believe that a vessel is sure to
to be wrecked that satis on a Friday.
If a marriage take place on that day
tho old wives shako their heads and pre
dict all kinds of misfortunes to the
bride and bridegroom. Nay, they even
pity all children who nro so unlucky os
to bo born on a Friday. In Germany,
on the contrary, Friday is considered *
lucky day for weddings, commencing
now undertakings, or other memorable
events; and the reason of this super
stition is said to be the ancient beliof
that the witches and sorcerers held their
weekly meeting on this day, and, of
course, while they wore amusing them
selves with dancing and riding on broom
stioks round the blocksberg, they could
have no time to work auy evil. And
by all sensible people, Friday is consid
ered no better and no worse than any
other of the six.
