TuefNlay Evening, April ‘t 7, 1858.
lo Correspondents.
Oilini. —We do not think your lines
to E , would add to'your literary
reputation if you have any, and if you
have none, they would do very little
to secure it. We shall be pleased to
hear from you over your proper name—
you evidently can do much better than
either of the rejected articles.
Revival of the African Slave Trade—
So. I—lntroductory.
We are committed to the advocacy of
revival, because we believe—
-Ist. That it will result in immeasura
ble benefit to barbarous Africa.
2d. That it is necessary to secure
peace and quiet to the civilized world,
both in Europe and America; and,
3d. That it is indispensable to the
South, as the best and only means of
continental safety and prosperity.
If we can establish these three pro
positions, or the first and third, we
shall feel that we have a well-grounded
reason for our advocacy. Os course no
single newspaper article could suffice for
the discussion of a theme so broad and
deep as that we have proposed to our
•elves. We must, therefore, givo a se
ries of articles, each of which shall be
confined to a single view.
Our first interest is in the Southern
States of this Union, and, therefore, we
shall first address ourselves to the con
sideration of our third proposition.
Two questions naturally suggest them
selves : first, is revival a desirable end,
in view of the industrial and political
wants and relations of the South? And,
second, is the project a practical one ?
We will suspend any reply to the lat
ter question until we have concluded
the demonstration of our three propo
sitions.
In answer to the first question, we
tav that if the re opening of the trade:
would remedy evils, thereby producing!
benefits, and avert dangers, giving safe- j
ty to the institutions of the country,!
then it a desirable end—lor the at
tainment of which, every citizen ought,
to labor and even to make sacrifices.
It is confessed, on all hands, that
evils do exist in connection with
slavery, and that dangers do threat
en the institution. Let us study the
probable effects which would result
from the success of our measure; let
ns suppose the trade re-opened in the
way which we desire. The whole body
of the Federal laws, which now prohib
it, will have been repudiated ; in their
place we shall have the sanctions of law
for the importation of slaves, and enact
ments for its conduct. So much of all
our treaties will have been abrogated
as obliges us to suppress that species of
commerce. The fleet, now stationed on .
the African coast to prevent, will have
been ordered to protect.
This done, capital would seek profit by
purchasing negroes in Africa and selling |
them in the slave States. If the im- j
ported siaves could be sold at a profit,
and yet at a price below that at which
they could be purchased in the markets
of Virginia and other slave exporting .
States, the supply would be sure to come ■
from Africa, because negroes can be |
purchased there and shipped to South
em ports at a less price than they can
be raised in Virginia. In this matter
the laws of trade would govern, and
we find no exception in the case of ne
groes. Purchasers will take that arti
cle, which, all things considered, is the ! i
cheapest.
An inevitable result, therefore, and!
the very result we desire to bring toj
piss, would be a decrease in the price of!
negroes—notice that we say price, which!
is not synonomous with value. This de
crease in price would, necessarily, flow
from an increase of supprly. What
would limit this decrease ? Certainly,
the supply. The maximum of supply
would produce the minimum of price. 1
Now, since the supply from Africa, from
the nature of circumstances, (to be here- '
after considered.) could only he a small 1
per centum of those districts which *
will afford slaves, negroes would have a 1
very considerable cost in Africa. The 1
decrease in price would, therefore, at 1
the lowest, only go to that point, at
which, the amount that purchasers
would pay, would yield a reasonable
* i
profit upon first cost, with the expense!
of shipment added. Thus, the joint!
action of supply and demand would
regulate the price.
Again, the demand for the products j
of slave labor would determine the de- <
maud for negroes, and, consequently, I
fix the quantity of importation. To <
•ay that the importation would exceed
the necessities of the country is simply
idle, because it is tantamount to saying '
that men will buy that which they do *
not need ; or, in other words, that they *
will give for a thing more than itsval-l*
ue. It is true that there are some who!
will allow themselves to be cheated, and
who will waste their property, hut when
the general assertion is made that
men will purchase that which is not!
profitable to them, it is simbly false,
because it says of all men what is
true of only a few individuals.
This brings us to a remark made late- j
Jy by a correspondent of the OmstituHon J
alist, which was not addressed to us, but
which, we feel at liberty to notice here,
because the remark is in the mouths of
all those who object to revival. The
remark was this:
1 ‘Tliat natural increase of our negroes
will be amply sufficient to supply any
B healthy demand.” Italics ours. Dis
claiming any' lack of respect, we must
characterize the remark as illogical, for
e the reason that the writer made use of
a term which has no fixed and general
ly received definition—“any healthy de
( mand.” Now, we think a “healthy de
mand’’ would be exactly that demand
which would proceed from every man
left free to purchase as many negroes as
he might wish, at the lowest price for
which he could obtain them. We be
lieve every man to be the best judge of
his own wants and of what will be pro
Stable to himself. The writer in the
Constitutionalist, however, is opposed to
’ our measure, and, therefore, thinks the
present restrictions upon the trade
j “healthy.” He thinks it necessary for
the law to say how much of a thing a
man may buy. This is paying Ihe com
mon sense of his fellow men but a poor
I compliment, when he thus asserts that,
if not restrained by the law, they will
rush into extravagant and ill-advised
j expenditures of their money. Perhaps
he would favor a law in Georgia to pre-
vent the introduction of horses from
Kentucky, upon the ground that our
people buy more horses than they need
and can afford!
In our next article we will remark
upon some peculiarities in the decrease
of price in slave property, consequent
upon our policy, and will observe some
effects thereof. <*
Fire in tilncon.
A large furniture factory in Macon,
belonging to B. F. Ross was destroyed
by fire yesterday morning. The de
struction was nearly total—very little
either of stock, or tools and machinery
being saved, and the whole, as we re
gret to hear, uninsured. What is still
worse, there can be no doubt it was the
work of an incendiary. There had been
no fire in the building since Wednesday.
The loss is supposed t 5 be $15,000.
English's liansns Hill,
Like every thing else relating to the
everlasting Kansas question—or more
property Kansas Humbug—is suscepti
ble of any interpretation, which inter
est, or party love and hate,see fit to ap
ply.
A Leading Administration paper in
New York says: “ The agreement sub
mits Lecompion to the people of Kansas
for their approval or rejection.”
Another Journal of New York the or- 1
gan of the Republicans says: “ Mr.Esc
nsn’s scheme provides that the Land ]
Ordinance only be submitted to a vote of
the people.” ’
It is evident, that somebody is to be j
cheated, and from the lights before us, <
it is difficult to tell who they will be. *
We wait for further develop- ,
ments—weean aford to wait. It would ]
be highly improper, and out of joint ’
with the whole concern to bo in haste
about a settlement of the question,

Farming In Ireland.
A Belfast paper, which devotes much :
attention to agricultural matters, learns j
with satisfaction that the extent of soil (
turned by the plow in the north of Ire- J
land this season, exceeds by a large (
Sgure that of any year since the famine.
Southward the reports are equally grat
ifying ; but there is a drawback upon
the prospect—a serious fall in the prices 1
! of almost everything which the farmer i
supplies.

Novel law Suit.
A lady from Alabama recently
brought a suit against her husband in '
Cleveland, Tenn., from whom she had ‘
been separated, for the recovery of her 1
child, two years old, which had 1
been taken by the father, at the 1
time of separation. The parties were i
both wealthy, and employed able coun- 1
sel—Hon. G. W, Rawi.es for the hus- 1
band, and Hon. John H. Ckozier for the .
wife—who managed the case with con
summate skill and ability. But the
sympathy for the woman was too strong ,
for the cause of the father, and the ten

Oreadful Condition of the Whites In
San Domingo.
Dispatch#; have been received from
San Domingo, which will, says the
Washington Stales, undoubtedly, con
firm all that wc have stated heretofore
of the critical condition of Americans
and of the whites as a race in that
doomed island.
The negro leader, Baez, is shut up in
the walled city of San Domingo, where
lie vents his ferocity on the white citi
zens, whom he retains amid the horrors
of siege and famine, in some sort, as
hostages for his own final escape.
Mr. Elliot, the American consul, and
his lady, Dona Merced de la Roche, (the
daughter of one of the noblest old
white families of the island,) are daily
subjected to base and studied insults.
The United States flag has been re
peatedly dragged through the streets
and trampled upon by negro mobs; the
Consul's lady hissed at in the streets,
and followed home from church with
language too vile to be repeated ; Amer
ican seamen and vessels have been ille
gally sacrificed ; and, in brief, every
form of outrage that negro spite could
invent has been heaped upon our citi
zens, for the single crime of being white
men and Americans; and not a ship-of
war shows itself for their relief.
The Latesl "limit Attraction” In New
York.
A correspondent of the Boston Journ
al, writing from New York city, says:
We have a new prodigy in this city
in the person of a hoy preacher. He is
about fifteen years of age. His name is
l Cranmond Kennedy. He is a Baptist,
r and belongs to the Church of Rev. Mr.
, Adams, on Christopher-street. He is a
1 convert in the late revival, has already
been licensed to preach by that church,
L and is just now attracting large crowds
to hear him. His style is vehement ;
' his sermons have in them muen method;
'< he speaks wholly extemporaneously,
i and his system of theology seems to be
mature and after the school of the
sounder and more conservative schools
of the day. He preaches and speaks
nearly every night. His houses are
crowded to overflowing, and for a sea
son he will be the great attraction of
out city.

glTOxygenated Bitters.--
The annexed statement of Prof. A. A. Hayes, M.
D., State Assayer, is ample testimony of the
scientific manner in which this medicine is com
pounded, and recommends it to professional
men :
An opinion having been asked for of me, in
consequence of the formula for preparing Oxy
genated Bitters being known to me, I express
the following in form :
The composition of these Bitters includes those
medicinal substances which experienced physi
cians have long resorted to for special action on
the system, when deranged by Fevers, Dys
pepsia, Agues and (r«jieral Debility, resulting
from exposure or climate iniiuence.
These arc rendered permanent, and remain
active in this preparation, as a consequence of
the scientific manner in which they are combined.
It was a well founded inference that the pre
paration used in smalier or larger doses, would
prove a valuable General Medicine, which ex
perience has demonstrated.
In this medicine no metallic salts can be found
by the most delicate chemical trials.
Respectfully, A. A. HAYES, M. D.,

Dr. Sanford’s Liver In
vigorator is the name of a medicine invalu
| able to invalids or tfiose troubled with Liver
| Complaint, Jaundice or General Debility, with
I derangement of the system or loss of appetite.
1 it has one peculiarly, not common to most
! mpdicincs, that is, the Doctor only recommends
j it for the cure of l iver Complaint, or such dis
i eases as arise from a disordered Liver, aud how
! well it bears the recommendations given is
known to all who use it. We never have known
. a medicine of any kind to perform such a tonish
: ing cures as lias been by the IN VIGORATOR. It
j seems to strengthen and invigorate the whole
i body, increasing the vital energy, and giving a
| flow of health to many whose ills were consid-
J ered incurable. We can recommend it know
ingly as a family medicine, for it lias been our
j best friend in many an hour of sickness. We
j wish all to try this remedy and satisfy tbem
! selves.— York Gazette.

CERTIFICATE:
j We have caretull examined the Cans and K>:
i hausting Apparatus of Dr. 11. G. Dayton, intend
ied for the preservation of Fruits, Vegetables,
| Eggs, Butter, k.- . \c , and find them construct-'
led upon philosophical principles, and admirably
adapted by their simplicity and cheapness ior
common domestic use. The valvural arrange
j meat, effected by a bit of oil silk, laid over an
loriQco in the Tin Disc covering the jar, and
I wnich allows a free • sc *pe of the contained air
into the clumber of the Exhauster, and instantly
and elf dual y closes by the re-ad mission of at
rnnsphcrc by the removal of the gum elastic
ball cover, has long been in use, and is highly
approved by Mr F.. T Ritchie, Philosophical In
strument-maker, in 80-ton, and h s been sue
cesslully employed by ourselves in controlling
the action of Chamberlain’s pow» rs il Lever Ai -
pump. Wo believe the c nvenience and ready
adaptation ol Mr Day bit’s improvements will
deservedly recommend them to popular favor.
