AUGUSTA, GA:
Friday Evening:, May 38, 1858.
Our Outraged Sensibilities.
Great indeed,is the indignation which
swells the veins, and puffs the nostrils
of Brother Jonathan at the treatment
which a few Yankee Sea Captains have re
reived from British Anti-Slavery war
cruisers ' But where does the fault lie ?
That's the question. At home we think.
So doubt the British are impudent, still
we cannot see that their late conduct
in the Gulf, is anything so flagrant,
when we consider what they have done
heretofore. This time they have mere
ly insinuated that the aforesaid Captains:
are pirates. They had previously brand
ed the whole Southern people as the re
ceivers and possessors of pirated goods !
Tor our own part we are as willing one
should call us a thief, as to call us a re
ceiver of stolen goods. We do not in
tend to quarrel about the difference 1
As long as we acknowledge the rigid
"t any man to arrest us on a charge of
trying to steal, we will maintain our
consistency hv allowing him to search i
our house for stolen goods.
The Southern people arc very quieth
submitting to a law which makes tin
Slave Trade piracy, and they will cer
tainly cut a most ridiculous figure it
they non stir up a row, because any
government upon the lace of the earth", i
Is trying to catch pirates ! These Yan
kee speculating sea-captain* ought, it.

from exposure.
We are utterly unable to see that thi.-
is not os good logic for sea-captains as it
is for us. Os all the people in the world i
our Northern brethren who so hatt
slavery, ought to he the very last to
make any fuss about the matter. We
have not heard yet, that anybody ha- 1
been hurt who has shown his hand and
his pockets, like an honest man, and it
any of those insulted dignitaries showed
unwillingness to make an exhibit, that
very fact was a just cause of suspi
cion. He ought certainly to have been
grabbed by somebody ; and by whom
better, than by those who were present,
lest he should make off before a regulai
officer could be summoned ?
Again our Southern friends are parties
to the agreement which denounces theii
own property as the booty of pirates,but
they are supposed to have reformed
now '- and of course they will not be
have so improperly as to make a fuss,
because some follows —not over remark
aide for their honesty have been call
ed upon to give an account of them
selves !
We regard this whole affair of search
ing vessels for signs of slavers, as the
legitimate result of an attempt to de
nounce as piracy that which is right,
morally, politically and scripturally.—
Jf the people of these Southern States
believe that the Slave Trade is piracy— i
and of course that slaves are plunder—
we do hope that they will not counten
ance any attempt to get up a bad
feeling between this country and Eng- '
land, simply because the ire of a few
hip-masters has been excited, who, we
all know, would ship over to Africa at
any time for a load of “niggers" if they
thought it would “pay.”
Let us be men or mice. If we are to
be the latter, what in the world is the
reason that we cannot pocket this little
affront, after having swallowed so manj
greater insults from Her Majesty ? Or
if we intend to be the former and mean
to have a fight or an apology, with se
curity for the future, do let us make out
a list of all our grievances and whip
them for calling us pirates, as well as
kicking over our tar-buckets.

Right of Visitation and Search—lie- j
vision of hold Stowell.
The principle contended for by the
United States, has been quite as strongly
asserted by British as American authori
ties. That eminent Admiralty Judge.
Lord Stowe] i. in the decision of the case
of a French vessel, seized upon the coast
of Africa, said : “No nation can exer
cise a right of visitation aud search
upon the common and unappropriated
parts of the ocean, except from the
belligerent claim. No nation has the
right to force their way to the libera
tion of Africa, by trampling upon the
independence of other (States, on the
pretence of an eminent good, by means
thef are unlawful, or to press forward
to a great principle, by breaking
through other great principles which
stand in their way.’’ This exposition is
directly in point now, and cannot be
ignored by the British Ministry.
Tlrree Signs,
The ilal iimore Republican notices three
things which have just come to hand
that are strong signs that sectional agi
tation upon the slavery question has had
its day :
“ 1. The speeches of Mr. Frvor and
others in the Southern Convention
against the revival of the slave trade.
“2. The refusal of the National
Tract Society to lend itself, through its
publications, to the objects of Aboli
tionists.
“3. The refusal of the California
Legislature to receive free negroes with
in the limits of that State.”

those disagreeable complaints, such as Jaundice,

valuable service if we can induce them to get a
‘ bottle of Dr. Sanford’s Invigorator, and take it,
for wo know from personal experience, that it is
one of the greatest remedies fo<- general debility
’ and consequent inactive bodily powers ever be
fore used. Its action is so perfect and complete
as to give relief the first time taken, and if it
does to others as it has to us, half a bottle will
be all that is needed. We know of nothing we
can recommend with such confidence, for a fam

THE EXTRAORDINARY course pur
sued by the rival Managers of different
1 ! LOTTERIES to injure us beca. se our libera,
schemes, and prompt ner of doing bu-mess
has materially alfacted them, compels us to call
special attention to the facts, which all who deal
with us know already. That Is : that our Lot
i tf.ries are legal, the managers and trustees hon i
est and honorable men, that we have sold more ;
prizes in the last twelve months than all other .
lotteries in the Union, and that they have been j
promptly cashed in all cases, on presentation, j
The effort to injure us is aimed not only at our i
, business by our rivals, but is also intended to j
act politically on one or our partners ; and we j
assure our friends and the public that
