dirahtg AUGUSTA. GA: Wednesday Evening, June «, ISSH. Revival of tlie Afrlean Slave Trnde— No. 6. Loss of Political Power—The Remedy. [concluded.] We point to the remedy. Breakdown the barriers which have been set up to stein the current of slave importation. Let the waves of that stream roll in to repel those of free labor. Hhey will carry slavery back to the fields from whence it has been driven. The plan ters of the more Southern States will prefer to buy the imported negroes, because capital always seeks the cheap est labor that will suit its purposes. They will refuse to purchase their slaves in the markets of those States which ore now deporting slaves. Thus the Virginia and the Missouri planter, instead of selling their negroes, as now to employ white labor, will find their profit in keeping the negroes whom they already have and in investing the profits upon their labor in other ne groes. Then the capital, which now is working against slavery in the border slave States, will come to our aid against the insidious advance of free society.— It will stretch forth its hands from all quarters for a supply of slaves. See ing, in advance, the prospect of shar ing in the profits of slave labor, it will stay its present onslaught upon the in terests that are about to become its own. Just, as it now contends for free soil, it will then contend for slave soil. Slave ry will reverse the order of its march It will move Northward, when it now moves Southward ; expanding, instead of contracting its area. It will wash away all “emancipation laws," natural, as well as human. The white laborer will become, through the action of his intellect, the slave’s master. Then, as Burning his true position as a superior being, he will become the friend of that institution upon which he now wars. The influx of slaves will lessen the volume of that stream which now pours in only white men. Exactly, in propor tion, as more slaves come into the conn try, then will come fewer white men.- This will result from two causes: First as the development of American resour ces, to meet the wants of the world will be accomplished by the Africans there will be, proportionally, less in ducement for European laborers to seel this Continent, Second, the product of slave labor being increased, tin white laborer, in Europe, will havt more to do at home- in manufacturing those products. But he will not lie re alizing the profit upon the development of American resources. That profit wil belong to the white man already here, who will thus preserve to hi in self am to his children that which he is non about to divide with the European im migrant. To slavery, this importation will give an increased political power. As tin foreign and Northern immigrants are now a lever to convert the* present white population of the slave States, into enemies of the institution, so the imported negroes will be a level to render them friends. Every five ne negroes imported, or retained in tin now emancipating States, Virginia, Maryland and others, will add tires to the representative basis of those States, and those three will be friends, not en emies to slavery. Thus the number of members in the lower House, who now oppose slavery, will begin to decrease and go on decreasing, in proportion ; while the number of members w ho sup port slavery, will increase in proportion. Every one pro-slavery member, gained by the South, will be a difference of two in her favor. The ditference between one gained and one lost is tu-o. Thus slavery will secure the lower House, no matter whether the negroes imported remain in the present States, or whether they go to populate new States. This remedies an evil and averts a danger. But new States would be formed.— Capital would take thither slave labor. If the importation of slaves should be only as rapid as the immigration of whites, no more free States could be formed than slave States. This would prevent the Senate from passing to the side of free labor. And when the im portation of Africans had become so large as to cause the development of re sources to keep pace with the wants of the world, then white immigration would cease. White men would never come to this country in numbers, but ns they brought capital. If those come, they would employ slave labor. Then all new States would be slave States, and all new Senators would be pro slavery men. This would, indeed, lie a remedy for present and coming evils. With a pro slavery majority, what man, save a friend to the institution, could be elected to the Presidential office ? We repeat that capital will forsee its connection with slavery as soon as the Trade shall be revived. We should not, therefore, wait for a complete re volution of existing relations before the South would receive a political benefit. With the first cargo of negroes landed we should feel the im pulse. Gathering strength, while our enemies will lose, no power on eartli could reinstate the obstructing law; once removed, the Government will be in our hands. We have pointed to the evil. We point to the remedy. Let those who object, point to a better remedy or ad mit that our plan is indispensable to the continued safety and prosperity of the South. Tlie Bon Ton. This is a monthly published in New York bv S. T. Taylor. It should be in the hands of every lady who prides herself in cutting, fitting and making her own dresses after the latest Parisian Fashions. Each number is accompanied with four well executed colored engravings, and each engraving with a pattern to cut by, with drawings and descriptions t>i the different garments,so that any young la dy of ordinary talent can easily compre hend them, and at the trilling sum of $5 per annum, deck herself out in the newest fashions and save heavy milliner bills. The June number is on our ta ble. PivUikht .Violimu, “ Pink,” the New York correspond ent of the Charleston Courier, writes : “ The remains of Ex-President Monbok, which have remained unmarked in this city so long, are to be removed tp Vir. ginia in a manner worthy so illustrious a person. Samuel L. Gouvebneur, Jr., grand-son and nearest lineal descend ant, has suggested to the Mayor that the proposed removal of the remains of the illustrious dead from this city should take place on the coming anniversary of his death. The Councilmen have ap pointed a committee to act with a simi lar committee of the Aldermen, to make the proper arrangements. July 4th will probably be fixed for the re moval, as all the militia parade on that lay in any event, and hence the day md the dead can be honored alike at the same time.” —— Working In Earnest. The House of Representatives in Con gress, passedon Friday last, eighty five bills. They tflso took up the private calendar and went through it. The Army, Navy and Appropriation Bills were passed. They evidently intend to adjourn on the day fixed. Interesting Meeting. For more than a month (says the Federal Union) prayer meetings have been held daily, and sometimes twice a lay, in some of the churches in this city. These meetings have been well ittended ; and although very few addi dons as yet, to the church, have been nude, the impress left ou this commn tity will be felt hereafter. Union prayer ueetings are now daily held—two days it the respective churches; and on Wednesday last the day was devoted to listing and prayer by the entire reli gious community. - The Destructive Freshets. The Cincinnati papers estimate that 5100,000 damage lias been done to himilton county property by the fresh it in that vicinity. At Wheeling on Thursday, there were over twenty feel if wafer in the river. The Market-st uispension bridge was threatened with lestruction and had to be propped up. it Pittsburg there had been a great rise n both the Ohio and Alleghany livers, md much damage done. At the latest iccounts, however, the water was fall ing in the Ohio. Serious Apprehensions of Wab. —lt is said, at Washington, that Lord Na mes has given it as his opinion that the Derby Ministry will take its stand up on the “right of visitation,” as abso lutely essential to the suppression of the slave trade— a work to which both governments are solemnly pledged.— If so, the President has declared his pur pose to give orders to seize and bring into port all British armed vessels, al -to carry out such mistaken notions. So, should these statements be true, and the British government does not recede, a collision can scarcely lie avoided. * The Cotton Crop In Texas. The receipts of Cotton at Galveston this season np to the 22nd ult., the Civ ilian says, sum up 104,071 bales. The Civilian adds, that there are 3,000 bales at Houston. The Galveston News of the 20th ult., says : A private letter dated May lltli, from San Augustine, to a commission house in this city, says, one of the lar gest freshets we’have had during this unprecedentedjwet spring, is now upon us. Our bottom lands are completely submerged, and the damage resulting therefrom to this county will beincaicu lably great. A letter from Swat-tout, of the lith instant, to the same house, states that the cotton crop has been nearly ruined by the rains, which fell almost uninterruptedly for 96 liours.- Some farms on the creek and river bot toms are completely under water. We have information from Wharton and other counties, to the effect that the cotton crop has been much damaged by tlie superabundance of rain that has fallen during the last ten days. Corn and cane, however, have sustained lit tle or no injury. Tim c eason.— After a drouth of sever al weeks duration, (says the Edgefield Advertiser, )our Districthas been refreshed with acceptable showers, particularly acceptable to spring oats, which may now grow up to a respectable yield. High Price. A hogshead of tobacco, raised by Capt. Wm. E. Clabk, Pittsylvania coun ty, Va., was sold Thursday, at the To bacco Exchange, by a commission mer chant for $22 per hundred. Mr. Ericsson lias written a letter, in which he says the new machinery to lay theocean telegraph is no security against breaking the wires. He anticipates fresh troubles. Cartersvllle, Located on tbe Western & Atlantic Railroad, in Cass county, has grown, tsays the Cassvilie Standard,) in the last live years, to considerable commercial importance. It is thought to have “a lager trade and ships more produce than any point between Atlanta and Chatta | nooga, and can boast of having as good and valuable business men, as any place. It is surrounded with good land, the town handsomely located, has a Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist church, four schools, a good newspaper —'the “ Express ” —and is the point where the Etowah Branch Railroad, to Maj. Cooper’s Iron Works, (five miles in length,)—now nearly completed, con nects with the Western & Atlantic Rail road. The land is as valuable as in any other portion of the State-bottoms selling as high as from sdo to .SSO pci acre. Voting Cotton. The Edgefield Advertiser, of the 2d inst., says: “Before us is a specimen of the young cotton plant of 1858, con sisting of a half dozen plants grown in the fields of Mr. Wilson Abney of this District. These plants are some eight inches in height; and one of them holds six forms, not, however, fully de veloped. They were taken from the field the 2Gth day of May. This is far over the general average of cotton growth in Edgefield. For the most part the crop is backward, and in seve ral neighborhoods the stand is very de ficient.” Another Payment from flic State Road. The Treasurer of the Western 8,- At lantic Railroad, we understand, made another payment to the State Treasury, on Friday last of $25,000. This makes $07,000 paid into the Treasury within the last three months as net earnings of the Road for that time. A New Agent. The Board of Directors of the Macon & Western Railroad, have appointed A. G. Ware, Esq., of Atlanta, Agent of their Depot at that place. Tile Hanks. Governor Brown has issued his pro clamation, calling on the different Banking institutions of this State to have their returns made out and trans mitted to the Executive Department by the Ist of July. —* A Stove Found. The Memphis Appeal says that a gen tleman of Boliver county recently saw a building floating down the river. He boarded it and recognized it as the 6toie of a friend of his residing some fifty miles up the river. He tied it to the shore and started up the river to in form is friend where his lost place of business and stock in trade might be found. «SF The steamer Huntsville, from Savannah, arrived at New York on the morning of the Ist inst.—the Alabama arrived the same day at 5 A. M. gSp A New York dispatch says there is quite a panic in stocks, with a heavy decline, the “ bears ” exciting the tim id ones by war rumors. Lmig Whistle. The Marysville Herald gives the fol lowing account of something new un der the sun, a whistling match. A whistling match lately came off at Mokelumn Hill. Two whistlers com menced at 9 1-2 o’clock in the evening, and kept it up till ten minutes of two the next morning, when one of them caved in, and was forced to stretch his mouth in all sorts of shapes to get the " pucker” taken out of it. He “allow ed ” his lips felt “ like they was the toe of an old hoot, with a large hole in it.” Frniii California. The people’s ticket in Sacramento is elected by several thousand over the administration ticket. A guano island, said to contain over 1,000,000 of tons, has been discovered on the track between the Sandwich and Ladrone Islands. Specimens of the gu ano had been received at San Francis co. Accounts from Fraziet’s river confirm recent accounts of the extraordinary richness of the gold mines and the tre mendous rush from all parts of the Brit ish possession stowards,the gold regions. The mines extend over a great expanse of country, and reach across the line into the American territory. A steam er loaded with diggers had also sailed from San Francisco, which had just ar rived from Cape St. Lucas, Lower Cali fornia, where she had recovered the specie buried there by the captain of the brig Cornelia, when he scuttled that vessel. The frigateSaranac arrived at Panama on the|7th of May, with dates from Valparaiso to the 10th and Callao of the 27 th of April. There was nothing of importance in them. Advices from Guatemala state that the cholera was laging with great vio lence in various parts of flic Republic. Advices from Nicaragua state that M. Belly, the French agent, is negotia ting for the transit route ; for which, he says, 00,000.000 francs have already been subscribed in France. Ihe British 6teamer from Grey town reports that on the 25th April,Col. Kin ney made an attempt to capture that place, he having hauled down the Mos quito flag,and hoisted thatof Nicaragua J and that lie also took the mayor prison - ; er. The citizens flew' to arms, and s also appealed to Captain Kennedy, of the Jamestown, for assistance. I The request was granted, and live j cutters filled with marines left the ' Jamestown for the shore. Col. Kinney and his party finally surrendered to Capt. Kennedy, and were sent to Aspin wall in the British steamer. Kinney's J party consisted of himself. George! R. | Gliddon, K. S. Too], Thomas 8. Bell and | A. I*. Dresser. THE LATEST NEWS.

The United States steam frigate Wa bash, which went into comrnassion last Monday, has been got ready for sea with dispatch, and went down from the Navy Yard yesterday morning, to get her supply of powder from the Magazine on Ellis' Island, from whence she will sail direct for the Gulf of Mexico. The Waliash is pierced for about sixty guns, but now only carries forty. She has her officers all on board. The steamer Arctic sailed last even ing, for the same destination. Special efforts were made to get her off at an early day. We also learn that orders have been received to get the frigate Sabine ready for sea, with dispatch. This ship was rebuilt in 1855, though she had never been launched, and will make one of the finest vessels in the Navy. It is be lieved that she is intended for the home squadron. The Savannah, which recently return ed from a long cruise, and lias been razeed, will be hastened to completion, and dispatched as early as practicable. Something like a month will be requir ed to finish the work on these last two ships.— N. F. Journal of Commerce, Satur day. Audacious KuHiniis—Gagging a Vloil with a Bowie Knife'. The wholesale grocery establishment of Mr. J. T. Brown, at Muscadine. lowa, was entered by burglars on the night of the 18th tilt , who. after gagging the proprietor and leaving him as they sup posed dead, proceeded to plunder it, and then fired it, the flames consuming the store and several adjacent buildings. Mr. Brown, however, was fortunately rescued by a daring fireman, who had stumbled on his body, and upon return ing to consciousness said he went home about half-past ten o’clock, and was surprised to find his dog at the house, which lie had locked up in the store.— He proceeded at ouee to take the dog back, and when he reached the store, unlocked the front door and proceeded up the back part of the building, when he suddenly stumbled against some ob ject or was tripped up, at the same time receiving a severe blow on the head, lie then knew he was in the hands of two desperadoes, and lie fought them brave ly. They succeeded however in throw ing him down, gagging him and tying his feet together. He struggled and released his feet, pulling off one of his hoots in his efforts, and also removed the gag from Iris month, but the ruffians again assailed him, and one of them shoved a handkerchief down his throat with a bowie knife, cutting his mouth severely in the act. Here their victim lost all consciousness, and remembers nothing until after his rescue. *.®.» Tin- Weather, Crops, etc. The crops, we learn, look tolerably well in most places in this State, except the wheat, which is slightly injured by the rust and fly. We talked with a gentleman just from Arkansas, the other day, and he said the crops all look promising in that State—never more so. We also con versed with a gentleman, recently from Alabama, and he informed us that the rust is damaging the oats there, and that the fly and rust together were working destruction among the wheat fields in some portion of that State.-- Grcenesboro' ( Ga.)

A young man named Lovett, passed through this morning, under escort, on his way to Montgomery, to the Federal Court, which meets next Monday. He was arrested for robbing the mail be tween Eylton and Tuscaloosa, of which route ho was the mail rider. The proof is conclusive that he robbed the mail of a watch, and also of some letters, but as a watch is not mailable matter, accord ing to a decision of the Surpreme Court, it is quite probable that with the aid of a good, sharp lawyer, he can escape con viction.—Marion (Ala.,) American Sgeriai jotim.
