Tuesday June 1, 1858.
Blacltwood’a Magazine.
This solid d respectable magazine
is on our table for May. Its contents
are, as usual, varied and interesting.
Multi Trunk Railroad.
A correspondent of the Constitutionalist,
writing from Milledgeville, under date
of theolst lilt., says: “As I have not
seen the fact heretofore mentioned, 1
will state, that the Governor some time
since delivered to Ur. Screven, the Pres
ident of the Main Trunk Railroad, one
hundred thousand dollars in bonds of
the State, bearing six per cent, interest,
payable semi-annually at New York,
and due twenty years after date. This
is twenty per cent, of the State's sub
scription to said road—the Governor
having had satisfactory evidence that
the other stockholders had paid in theii
proportion.”
Theatrical Items.
Thalberg and Vieuxtemps are de
lighting the Nashvillians with theii
concerts.

way Theatre, and is also playing as Mrs.

——
Prcpailtig for Contingencies'
It is stated that Lotus Napoleon, witl
wise forethought, has been preparing
for possible future contingencies hr .
making investments in England an
the United States. It is stated, also, bj
the Paris correspondent of the Manches
ter Guardian, that his aunt, the Gram
Duchess Stephanie, of Baden, has lef
Paris seriously alarmed at the positioi
of things ; and that she considers th
state of France sufficiently unsafe t
have taken out of the country thi
sums of money she hail invested in it.—
Loms Napoleon, however, may not, in
the event of another revolution, be a
fortunate as Louis Phillipb in getting
out _of the country without injury ti
his person. At all events, he should
keep on friendly terms with the United
States, as he may again be obliged to
seek our hospitality.
Frauds In Tenners.
home very unpleasant discoveries
have been recently made in the State
Finances of Tennessee, by a committee
of investigation, acting under appoint
ment of the last Legislature. In the
Secretary of State’s office, a defalcation
of thirty thousand dollars has come to
light—money paid that officer, as ex
officio Internal Improvement Commis
sioner, bydifferent Turnpike Companies.
In the Comptroller’s, $123,000 in
bonds belonging to the Exchange Bank
of Murfreesboro’ and designed to se
cure bill holders, are gone, ana the ah
•tractions of bonds belonging to two
other banks is confessed to.
•
The Crops.
In Middle Georgia the crops of both
cotton and corn are promising. Cotton
has an excellent stand, and looks
healthy. Should no untoward circum
stances overtake it before July, from
present appearances the crop will be
over an average one. The wheat crop
is a good one, and harvesting is going
on rapidly. In Southwestern Georgia,
the prospect is not so favorable for eith
er crop:
Fine Growing Weather. —ls the
weather continues as propitious as it
has begun, we shall have a crop of ev
erything this year to “make a note of”
and consign to the pages of history. We
are now in the enjoyment of weather
most favorable to crops of all kinds—
warm and sufficiently moist. We be
lieve the unanimous verdict is that the
crops in this section of Georgia never
held out a better promise. Macon Tele
graph, Ist inst.
He Declines It.
The following episode in the debate
in the Methodist General Conference,
on the 25th, ov»r a motion to raise the
salary of Bishop Payne— who was in
the Chair at the time—isquitea laconic
affair, and a refreshing exhibition of
unselfish devotion to duty :
G. W. D. Harris—l move to raise
Bishop Payne's salary to SI,BOO.
The Chair—l decline it.
G. W. D. Harris—l beg the Bishop to
be still.
The Chair—l have declined salaries
before. Let me alone, sir.
G, W. D. Harris—Will the Chair let
us alone ?
The Chair—The brethren will please
let me alone.
G. W. D. Harris—Will you allow us
to vote T
The Chair—l will not.
ijr a duel, with broad swords, says
the -V. O. True Delta of the 26th, was yes
terday fought, at Hopkins” planta
tion, on the Gentilly Road, between a
Creole of Louisiana and a gentleman
from St. Martinique. They both un
derstood the “use of the broad sword,”
for they each received some severe
wounds.
Revival of the African Slave Trade—
No. 6.
Loss of Political Power—The Remedy.
The question of equilibrium between
free and slave labor, in apolitical view,
may be aptly illustrated by the flow of
waters. Let two streams discharge
themselves into a common basin ; so
long as the sources of each are undi
minished, neither will obstruct the oth
er ; but, let the supply from either fail,
and the volume of the other will hack
up the current of the first.
At the framing of the Federal Con
stitution, there prevailed, all over the
laud, a complete ignorance of the na
ture and destiny of slavery, and of its
necessity in giving permanence to Re
publicanism. Taking advantage of this
ignorance, free labor secured the inser
tion of a clause in the Constitution
which rendered possible the suppression
of the stream of slave labor. In 1807,
taking advantage of the same state of
public opinion, the interests in opposi
tion to slavery, secured the passage of
a law providing for such suppression.
l’he law yet remains, and the suppres
4on is complete, as it has been for a
period of twenty-five or more years.
Meanwhile, the wants of the world
nave continued to increase. Ihey have
lemanded a proportionally increased
ievelopment of American resources—
he result we considered in our last ar
icle. It is sufficient here, to say that,
is in the case of the two confluent
.treams, the influx of slave labor being
•ut off, the waters of free labor have
Iriven slavery Southward, with every
.ear gathering momentum from- new
iccessions to their volume.
Now, if the only advantage to the
South, from Revival, were to be an in
:rease of individual wealth, this ques
tion would be one of but little import
ince, compared with the magnitude
which it assumes, when we see that
icrein is involved the preservation of
lie property and abundance, which she
low has. The Southern people might
■veil forego an increase of their wealth,
if they could, thereby, purchase assur
mcc that they and their posterity
hould remain in the undisturbed pos
ession of that plenty which has, thus
ar, made want a stranger to the land,
md famine an impossibility. But, when
they can perceive that free labor is
iriuging within their borders forms of
ociety which, through the world’s his
ory, have been attended by destitution,
•ice and anarchy, they will surely re
ect, from consideration, no plan which
laims to offer them security against
these.
Political power, in this country, is in
the hands of the white man. The pre
sent decude will add, by immigation,
to the forces of free labor, three mil
lions five hundred thousand souls, over
and above the natural increase of the
previous population. Allowing that
the next census will fix the ratie of re
presentation at one hundred and fifteen
thousand, this increase from foreign
lands will give to free labor thirty mem
bers in the lower House of Congress,
while it will give to slave labor none!
This will be the result whether these im
migrants remain in the present States,
or form new ones. Is this no evil to
slavery?
But, following the law, that labor
goes to new and undeveloped resources,
a portion of this free labor will enter
the present slaveholding States. There
it will operate, as itlias operated in New
Jersey, Delaware, Missouri and other
States. Wielding the formidable wea
pon of “emancipation,” it will turn the
representatives of the States it may
reach, into engines, to be used in bat
tering down the fortifications, behind
which retreating slavery shall vainly
gjek to entrench itself. Does any one
say this is but the foreboding of timid
souls? Look at Henry W. Davis, of
Maryland ; Crittenden, of Kentucky;
Blair, of Missouri, and a score of men,
of lesser note, from States still reckon
ed the friends of slavery !
Again, the passing decade adds alrea
dy four free States to the Union. This
places, in the Senate, eight new Sena
tors, representing free labor, and devo
ted to its interests. It is unreasonable
to suppose that the causes which have
led to this result, will fail to produce a
like result in ten years, either by crea
ting new States, or by wresting the
power from slave labor, in the present
States, and sending their now weak pro
slavery Senators into Congress. Be
yond a doubt, the ten years next to
come, will make eight free labor Sena
tors, either by peopling new States, or
by changing the Senators of Delaware,
Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri into
enemies to slavery. Will this be no
evil ?
Furthermore, the same causes which
increase the number of free labor Sen
ators and representatives, will add
strength to the certainty that a Presi
dent cannot be chosen who will con
serve the interests of slavery against
Freesoilism. But our President has
ever been elected from theextreme pro
slavery States. Under present arrange
ments another will never be taken from
that section; or, if that should happen,
i he will be powerless to forward or
i protect slavery, because he will be
- chained to a party which, to elect, must
include the element of free labor.—
i Thus, the government of these States,
is passing rapidly into the hands of free
labor. Seward says the work is done!
God grant that he boasts prematurely!
Now, in all this, do we behold no
evil ? Let him say No, who can conceal
the facts. Ihe man of temporizing ex
pedients—he, who from the sluggish
ness of nature, prefers waiting to acting,
will reply that the world of free labor
has an interest in the products of slave
labor, and that he relies for protection
upon this fact. He says that free inter
ests cannot push slavery far, without
injuring itself. To will answer;
we arc not willing that the condition of
slavery shall he established in accord
ance with the opinions which free so
ciety may entertain of its own inter
ests. We wish the condition of slavery
to be established in accordance with the
views of slaveholders. When the lat
ter is the case, then slaveholders will be
free men; when the institution of
slavery is determined by the will of free
labor, then slaveholders will, them
selves, be slaves.
What is the remedy for this evil?
Have the parties, that have alternately
held the reins of power, for the last
fifty years, found or sought to find any
remedy ? None ! none ! e
[We are compelled to defer the con
sideration of the “Remedy" until to
morrow.] 1

Trial of Kngnes In Savannah.
We have seen a letter to a gentleman
of this city, from a friend of his in Sa- '

Louisiana Items.
The Richmond American says that *
many of the planters of Madison parish
have been seriously injured by the break 1
in the levee and will have to plant over 1
to make anything. 1
The Houma (Terrebonne) Ceres, of 1
the 22d ult., says : 1
Ihe crops throughout the parish pre- *
sent a fine appearance. While we sym- •
pathyze with the planters of the Coast
and the Lafourche in the losses which
they have sustained from the high wa
ters, we return thanks to Providence
that nine tenths of our parish is utter
ly unattainable by the largest overflow-
The sugar lands of Terrebonne will in
consequence acquire a greatly enhanced
proportionate value.
The Napoleonville (Assumption) Pio
neer, of the 25th ult., says :
Finer weather than we have at pres
ent, and a better prospect for an abun
dant crop, nobody can wish for. The
cane, without exception, presents a very
fine stand, its height varying from two
to four feet : and, unforeseen events
excepted, our parish will again rank
among the most prominent of thesugar
growing parishes. The corn crop is
equally fine. Gardens are also in a
flourishing condition.
Religious Revival In Camming,
We learn (says the Mountain Signal, of i
the 29th ult.) that at the Methodist 1
Quarterly Meeting, held in the above 1
named place, which commenced on the ,
night of the 14th inst., and protracted i
up to Monday last, a revival, almost 1
unprecedented, took place, which re- !
suited in one hundred conversions, and i
one hundred and twenty-three acces- ‘
sions to the Church.

ffU" On Sunday last, says the New
Orleans Picayune, three young gentle
men, belonging to this city, went down i
to the lake, obtaiHed a skiff and went 1
out to one of the croaker hanks, about ,
two miles from the breakwater of the -
new canal, and there cast an anchor.—
Shortly afterwards a heavy squall, witli 1 ]
rain, passed over the lake, and the re-1
suit was that the skiff was swamped, j i
As nothing has been heard of the young I
men, it is presumed that they were 1
drowned. One was Tnos. McClusky, a j
clerk at Seorr & Searing’s; another,
Robert Henderson, a clerk at Taylor, *
Knapp & Go’s ; and the third, Edmund ]
Burke, a clerk at Smith & Rouerts.— >
None of the bodies have yet been found.
