iia fBri-WttMg flMSn j V. , BL DW1RELL, Editor* Proprietor. «BO. T. STOVALL, Associate Editor Tferotor «•*«■»» Pefe. 33, 1880. 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 unxoown portions of the mysterious Afrioan continent, and showing us that It may be made the home of civilisation fcn4 Industry, human ingenuity and en- *" terpriae and philanthropy ougnt to con- trive some method for sweeping the seas ' dear of those marauders who are per petuating the slave trade and cursing ■' : '%rety foot of the coast on which they ‘ step In the pursuit of their iniquitous ''kumiOM. 1 Lord Brougham, with ajeal- " odsfidcEWtOtbe principlfe of his ear lier days, has embraced the first oppor tunity whidrwffered after the opening « , of parliament to inquire what the Eng- r. lish government are doiug and can do erii tetofaeeic the traffic.

A-Sen. 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. r oil el b»J 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 Book. 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.

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.
