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, 1 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 der child was delivered over to its moth er, and taken back to Alabama. I "•*- 0s The Charleston Courier , of yester- | day, says: ‘‘We regret to announce the 1 sudden death of Juon Daly, a merchant ” of this city, who expired yesterday (Sun- ; day) morning, in Lovejoy’s Hotel, in i New Y T ork, of a disease of the heart.” 1 < iff The New Orleans correspondent j of the St. Louis Republican says that i General Walker is preparing for another ; expedition against Nicaragua. fit?"

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. Later from Havana. The Steamer Caliawbaarrived at New Orleans on the 20th. Tlie Cahawba brings no special news i from Havana. , A ball, given on board the ship-of the-line Isabel 11., which gathered to gether the official as well as the beauty c and fashion of Cuba, was a splendid j affair, and the principal topic of conver sation. The report that the new Ministry had 1 based their existence upon the abolition y of slavery in all the Spanish colonies 1 had caused intense excitement among 1 the moneyed men of Cuba. V The sugar market was quite dull, but the prices had not generally changed, although a few sales had been made at lower rates. Stock on hand in Havana I is 168,000 boxes ; at Matanzas, 54,000 t boxes. j Exchange on London is quoted at 12 al2l-2prem.; New York and Boston par a 1 per cent; prem.; New Orleans 2 a 8 per cent. prem.; U.

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., Assayer to the Slate of Massachusetts.
