THE GEORGIA TiiLEli HA PH.
[From the London Tintt, Pee. IV. J
A Raw Finn to Supply the Went I«”
dies with I.Hbor.
It require* no great foresight to perceive that a
great contest ia approaching on the subject of
slavery ami the slave trade. The battle oft he ne
gro will have to be fought by the philanthropists
u Ith a great diminution of prestige, the result of
falsified prediction* and blasted hope*. The
ltrougham* and Wilberforce* of the present day
will have to adopt a somewhat humbled tone. The
manifestoes of Exeter hall must for once be de
fensive and apologetic, for the world is now wiser
than when pulpit and platform resounded with in-
dignatiou appeals to humanity fivc-nnd-twcnty years
ago. The touching descriptions of philanthropic
novel-writers will go for little now, as far os regards
our own colouics. Those who are old enough may
recollect the traditional portraits of West India
proprietors, their wives and children, which arc to
be found in the “moral talcs ” of tho last genera
tion. The owucr of a Jamaica property was al
ways lying on a sofa, drinking sangareo and swear-
iug at {sambo, a fino mulatto youth, whose quiver
ing lips and flushing eye told how much he lelt.
Tiie lady of tlio house, always represented as a fa
ded beauty, with her brow wreathed with pearls,
was, of course, being fanned by two female slaves,
whoso delicate forms Lore recent traces of the lash.
The youthful heir wandered about tbo house exer
cising a whip given him by bis mother expressly to
beat the little negroes with. A faithful and pious
rornpoy, exposed to every ill usage, because Dinah
who loved him—oh, how fervently 1—would not
listen to the unmanly proposals of Drive, the over
seer, completed the picture. By such representa
tions os these a body of as hardworking and loyal
subjects as England ever possessed were held up
to obloquy, and negro emancipation was effected
without regard to the interests of men who were
popularly supposed to be revelling in ill-gotten
gains, llut politicians and the public, and even
the friends of tho slaves themselves, have now
begun to see matters iu a clearer light. Our own
colonies are impoverished, but the sum of slavery
has not diminished; it bos only been transferred
from us to more grasping, pitiless, and unscrupu
lous hands. Never was the prospect of emanci
pation more distant than now that foreign slave
owners are establishing a monopoly of all the great
stages of tropical produce. The islands which in
the old times supplied so much sugar, coffee, and
cotton arc going out of cultivation, while Cuba,
the United States, and Brazil arc every day exten
ding the area of their cultivation and the number
of their slaves. So valuable, indeed, is the slave
in Uuba that, in spite of treaties and penal laws,
cruisers, and blovkai.es, thousands of Africans arc
yearly carried across the Atlantic to work on the
augur and tobacco plantations. The wealth of the
island is such that, in spite of misgovernment, op
pressive taxes, and a Spuuish army of 25,000 men,
its proprietors are among the richest in the world.
As to the United States, it is, indeed, folly to ex
pect any change in that quarter. Slavery on the
North American continent has extended, is exten
ding, will extend, .is long os the supplies of cot
ton arc below the demand in all the markets of the
world, so long will slave labor he too valuable to
be parted with. It may be declared that the at
tacks of abolitionists and tho interference of the
North are the cause of this determination to up
hold slavery; but no sensible man will believe that
mere irritation and obstinacy could lead to such
great results. The existence of slavery is an eco
nomical question, ar.d so long as the system is profi
table we connot doubt that it will be maintained.
Much the same may be said with respect to Brazil,
w here the institution prevails with features of cru
elty unknown even in the worst of times under
English rule.
Now, to these countries we have given a mono
poly of products which arc the chici bases of our
industry or Among tbo chief sources of our reve
nue. They are becoming rich, powerful, arro
gant, every day lesa inclined to be guided by Eng
lish interference. With all the readiness which self-
interest induces, they have learnt the arguments
against limiting slavery and slave importation
from our mishaps, ous acknowledgments of failure,
from their own prosperity, and from our depen
dence upon them. TUey have the law of nations
on their side, and may quote it iu answer to any
assertion of our rights to interfere in the cause of
humanity. They are free nations, and Africa is a
coast. Negroes are necessary to raise the cotton,
sugar, coffee, and tobacco wbicit the world wants.
The white man cat not work under a tropical sun ;
and. unless the Afr.can be used os a laborer, the
iairest regions of the New World must remain a
desert, in fine, negroes must be had at any cost;
and no nation lias a right to imposo 4is own scru
pulosity on other tree communities. If England
has ruined her own colonies, that is no reason why
sho should seek to check the progress of the whole
American continent. Such is the kind of reason'
ing which is becoming more and more common eve
ry day; and we may depend upon it that in some
form or under some pretext, the slave-owners of
the other hemisphere will again attempt to obtain
a supply of negroes from the coast of Africa. The
recent importation into the French eolonies lias
naturally aroused Utcir attention, and it is no won
der that no hear it asked why a few cargoes of such
“emigrants ” could not bo brought to New Or
leans or Savannah, there to be settled according
to the domestic institutions of the State. With
this renewed vitality of slavery, owing to the rap
idly-increasing value of the slave, we have now to
deal.
And it is not by preaching, or protesting, or
threatening, or denouncing, tlmt the obj'cctsof hu
manity can be obtained. The lost generation were
content to be mjrcly destructives; they broke
down the slave system in the West Indies without
attempting to replace it by a better, and the con
sequence has been the multiplication of the for
mcr evils, and a deepening of the guilt in which
we indirectly participate ns consumers of the
slave-raised produce. After twenty years experi
ence we arc now called on to provide a remedy.
On all sides we heir the same cry—the colonics are
perishing for wan t of sufficient labor. By addi
tional supplies alone can tbo principle of free la
bor in the tropics be vindicated, and a real blow
struck at the iniquities against which we have so
long declaimed. Our attention has been directed to
a report of thcconucil on immigration for the island
of Trinidad, which shows how a British colony
may decay while all around it is flourishing. If
Triuidad had remained under Spanish sway it might,
iu spite of tyranny and misrule, bo the wealthy
island which its position and fertility would natur
ally make it. But we leant that, although the is
land contains 1,250,000 acics, yet the extent of all
tho land now under cultivation is only about 52,807
seres. The entire number of agricultural laborers
working for wages in tbc cultivation of sugar and
cocoa is only 17,000, of whom nearly 8,000 arc
immigrants from India and China, introduced at
the public expense. It is found that these arc by
far better laborers for wages than the negro, who,
it is stated, “will not bo stimulated to greater in
dustry by any increase of wages.” And at the
S resent time the planters would gladly obtain labor
y an advance of wages. The high price of su
gar anil other tropical productions has stimulated
enterprise, agreater extent of land is being brought
under cultivation, and ail tiiat is wanted fot the
development of the colony is a supply of hands.
Such are the fertility and the abundance of
land that “the expense of establishing on virgin
land an estate capable of producing 250 hogsheads
of sugar, including the cost of machinery and buil
dings, would not exceed £C,000 sterling.” But
with the present supply of labor even the present
production of the colony cannot be kept up. The
colonists, therefore, beg the government to assist
them in obtaining immigrants from China and
India. The colony, says the report, coulff “without
difficulty meet the expense of introducing and with
out risk find employment for 500 Chinese immi
grants.” But it is to British India that the colon -
chiefly looks. Under afree system the coolies work
better than Africans. The former are ambitious
and work for wages; the Utter go off and squat in
remote districts, content to support life on a little.
Now thU document comes, wo tliiuk, opportunely
at present. There can be no donbt that slavery,
will once more gain the ascendant unless we carry
out a pUn of free Tabor. Our colonies in the West
are tho field for such a scheme, our empire in the
East may furnish tbo laborers, and the nsw hold
we shall have ou Asia will give facilities for doing
what we wish. Whether we should send mutinous
sepoys across the water is a matter hardly yet
ripe for decision; but we think, if they are to be
transported anywhere, they may as well peor’ u
Trinidad as the Andamans or any Asiatic island.
But it U evident that the whole question of West
Indian cultivation must now be examined, and with
such colonies as Jamaica, Trinidad, and Guiana,
there U no reason why we should not show that
the culture of tho tropics by flroo labor is not
the impossibility which the partisans of aUvery
represent.

the same county.
From Flab.—Dates from Fort Kearney to the
23d say, that Col. Johnson was at Fort Bridger, No
vember 26, and CoL Cook had also arrived. Noth
ing was said about Cook having been attacked. Tbo
grass was all burned, and tho auimals were dying
at the rate of a hundred per day. The Mormons
were fortifying all the passes.
Battle of Priucetoa.— 1 The anniversary of this
Battle waa celebrated on the spot on the 2d instant,
by a sham action in which the troops were posted as

ready to buy than to sell.
The .floral ous.—I. a ter from Flab.—Utah
dates from 1st December last were received in St,
Louis the 12th inst. The troops were iu comforta
ble condition—the weather mild—and provisions on

The election of State oflleer. iu Kansas
took place, it will be recollected, on the 4th inst.'
We copy the following in reference to the result:
St. Louis, Jan. 11.—Kansas correspondence of the
St. Louis Democrat says that tiio free State legisla
ture and free State ticket liad received an averse
majority of 185. Wyandotte gave 374 against the
Lecompton constitution ; Leavenworth upwards of
1,100 majority for a free State. A passenger from
the Territory states that tlio free State ticket ia
doubtless elected by a large majority. No distur
bance was reported.
St. Louis, Jan. 12.—Tho Democrat of this State has
Kansas dates of Ihe 7th, which give pro-slavery mn
rarities in Kickapoo, Doniphan, Johnson and Bo
lion counties, of nearly 4,000 in all. Tho democratic
State ticket is probably elected The majority in
tlio legislature Is free State, and half the vote in the
Territory for State officers, but the expression was
very decided ngainst tho Lecompton constttntion,
the majority against it being about ten thousand.—
There bad been several arrest, for election fraud*.
A man named Calvert was taken to Leavenworth,
escorted with cannon belonging to the Kickapoo
rangers, and was paraded througo the streets. Much
excitement prevailed, and further trouble was fear
ed. Mr. Calhoun bas been advised not to return.
From Nicaragua.—Tho Empire City, which
connected with the Grannda firoin Aspinwallst Hr.,
vanna, on the 9th, bronglit to New Orleans informs-
tion of the surrender of Anderson and his men, to-
gether with Fort Castillo and the river steamers to

Before surrendering bo destroyed all the buildings
and cattle at Fort Castillo, and broke np the machi
nery of the steamers. He was taken on board the
Wabash, with the men of bis expedition.
Itlorc Indian Negotiator*.—Another party
of Scminoles from Kansas, were in New Orleans on
the 8th, on their way to Florida, with a view to per
suading the Scminoles to leave that State for tho
Arkansas reservation. This the fourth time at least
the samo experiment has been tried with very little

We received from Mr. J. Grau, Manager
for Henri Vieuxtemps, a letter dated at Rich
mond, enclosing the notice which appears in
another column, with the request accompany
ing it. Both Thalberg and Vieuxtemps ap
pear in Augusta and Savannah, and it is with
reluctance we infer that both will not continue
their progress to Macon—not that we under
value Vieuxtemps, who is undoubtedly tbe
most perfect master of the Violin now living,
but all desire to see and hear both. Wc copy
the following notice of Vieuxtemps from the
Richmond Dispatch:
Equally warm and flattering with the recep
tion of Thalberg, was that given to Vieux
temps, who wc venture to call king of the vio
lin. Ic was his second appearance in Rich
mond ; his first, however, was so long ago that ccrn -
few of our audience of to-day had seen him be
fore. His face is rather German, bat it is ra
diant with French animation and humor. His
performance enjoys the doable advantage that
it is dramatic as well as mechanical; for he is
an actor, and expresses the soul of his music
both on bis instrument and in bis looks and
gestures. This is especially true of his Carni
val of Venice, which he acted admirably. It
is not indispensable to acting that one must
have free scope and movement to stride and
saw the air. One may sit still and express the
strongest emotions. Mrs. Fanny Kemble
Butler delights her auditors by her readings
sitting by a tab’e, in which she expresses the
passions of the play. Vienxtemps is a wit, a
inmorist and a poet. Most miraculously docs
his violin communicate his wit, his humor and
his fine fancy. The canning of his fingers and
his bow impart the bright conceptions of his
mind with wonderful and exquisite accuracy.
He was rapturously encored in both his
pieces, and in response played the “ Carni
val” and “ St. Patrick’s day in the morning.”
Both were received with enthusiasm. The
sonl-stirring Irish air seemed to excite as much
the heels as the heads of some of the auditors,
and there was commenced a beating of time
with it, which the violinist shook off by an “ad
libitnm.” This accompaniment, while alto
gether impulsive, was very annoying, both to
the performer and the audience—atid those
who volunteered it, we are sure, were too well
bred to subject others to such an annoyance,
upon the slightest reflection.
Vieuxtemps is a genial fellow—full of en
thusiasm and humor, evidently. He plays
with passion, and he kindles by his animated
expression the fire of sympathy in the hearts
of his auditors. Most heartily did they heap
their plaudits upon him ; for which he evin
ced the sincerest gratitude. He is, wc be
lieve, the greatest among the violinists who
have visited America—not excepting Sivori, to
whom we are very partial.
Senator Seward Pliropltcsyfng,
Senator Sc w.ird, from his scat the other day,
ventured the prediction, at his personal hazard—
that lively and prosperous times were coming a 1
once, and as suddenly as the panic came. We hope
Mr. Seward may be right for once. Tho newspa
pers, by tho way, have remarked upon Mr. Se
ward’s recent visit to Virginia, to see a “com shuck
ing” on Mr. Pendleton’s place, as a sight very novel
to him of the “higher law,” and calculated to ame
liorate his ideas about African Slavery. A “ com
shucking” must have been a familiar spectacle to
Mr. Seward daring his residence in Putnam county,
Georgia, and there is absolutely no earnest or hon
est fanaticism about the honorable gentleman to be
sung or danced out of him by Sambo, as the evil
spirit was charmed out of Saul. Seward is simply
a shrewd politician—riding a popular hobby for his
own advantage. He may counterfeit fanaticism
and bigotry, but ho is altogether too hollow, self
ish and in sincere for the genuine article.

Veto Meetings.
The effect of the injudicious onslaughts of
thc Bank press upon Gov. Brown’s veto Mes
sage are beginning now to be strongly appar
ent. We publish to-day the proceedings of a
meeting of the People in Crawford—a call for
another meeting in Bibb, signed by many of
our most reputable citizens, and an indefinite
number of signatures could have been obtain
ed if they had been asked. Meetings have al
so been held in other counties, and all these
and many which will probably follow, consti
tute, after oil. but a very inadequate expres
sion of the popular voice in a controversy,
which the Bank papers seem fatally bent on
provoking—a controversy which would leave
them in a pitiable minority, at thc mercy of an
overwhelming anti-bank feeling in this State.
The Banks were in the wrong—they were be
fore the Legislature in the attitude of suitors
for mercy. The Legislature granted it—the
Governor refused, as he had a right to do—
as wc should havo done in his place; for we
would have never signed that bill. But they
obtained relief and instead of being satisfied
and thankful, they most unwisely make an
issue with the Governor where J>ut one result
can possibly follow—that of hopeless defeat
which may bc attended with thc most embar
rassing consequences.
As thoroughly anti-bank as the Telegraph
is in principle—as firmly persuaded as wc are
of the policy of abolishing all banks of issue,
we do not wish to sec a party organized on that
point and thc currency interests of the State
take shape or condition from excitements .en
gendered in mere party strifes. We do not
wish to see the bank property in the State en
dangered or injured, or the bonks themselves
needlessly annoyed and embarrassed. What
we wish to see is the Democratic party of Geor
gia settling down in a firm consistentand reso
lute auti-bank policy—steadily denying all ap
plications for new banks—resolutely refusing
to re-charter old ones—holding to a just and
rigid responsibility every bark doing business
—winding up the insolvent, and thus, by a
worthy and statesmanlike course, gradually
diminishing their number and circulation and
introducing a sound and reliable currency.
This policy would endanger or injure no l ight
or property interest, and finally accomplish
in the best possible manner, every end anti
bank men desire. An anti-bank party sud
denly springing into existence upon the ac
knowledged wrongs and felt inconveniences of
tbe present, might effect the end sooner : We
say ouly might, because tho chances are that
they would push their point so rapidly as to
endanger reaction and defeat. Certainly
taking its direction from tho present state of
public sentiment in Georgia, there would be
imminent hazard of such a result, because the
feeling among thc People against thc banks is
exceedingly strong, and a thoroughly aggres
sive policy would now be a true response to
popular sentiment. We repeat: it is surpri
sing that the newspapers opposed to the veto
of thc Governor should have so needlessly and
inconsiderately provoked this issue.

A Threatened Abridgement
Of the length of dress skirts may perhaps
be detected by the ladies in the new fashion
lately introduced into Washington, thus de
scribed by the Herald correspondents :
Tho fashion among ladies of wearing tho
red petticoat with thc outer robe looped up on
each side so os to show tbe petticoat and foot
well, is being adopted this winter. It was
first introduced by Lady Ouscley on New
Year’s day, and copied from Queen Victoria,
who brought the fashion from Balmoral, a
Scotch costume, and introduced it in London.
Without any stretch of the imagination, this
fashion may bc said to bc a fascinating one,
and will probably become general.”

Letter from Savannah.
The Supreme Court—Robinson Will ease—Opera
—Jliss Durand—Savannah Medical College—
Cotton, d'c.
Savannah, Jan. 16, 1858.
Dear Sir.—We have had lively times in Savan
nah for thc last three weeks, notwithstanding Bank
suspensions, Panics, Vetoes, rainy weather, and the
low price of Cotton.
The races over the Ten Brocck course attracted
a large but not very select crowd of strangers
from all parts of the country, and the New Orleans
English Opera Troupe opening daring the same
week filled all the Hotels and Boarding Houses to
overflowing. Thc past week the Supreme Court^
has been in session, and we have noticed among
us many distinguished members of the bar from
the up country in attendance on tbe Court. As
yet, no case of any great importance has been ar
gued, but I understand, that on Monday next, the
leaders of the Charleston and Savannah bar meet
in intellectual combat over the Robinson Will cose,
involving about one hundred thousand dollars.—
James L. Pctigru Esq., for Plaintiffs in Error,
who reside in Charleston, and John E. Ward, Esq.
for the Defendants, resident in Savannah. The
case comes up ou the construction of a Will—and
the amount involved, thc many important ques
tions of law, and thc learning and eloquence of tbc
distinguished counsel retained in thc cause, make
it the great case of the Term. I will endeavor to
bc present at thc argument and give you thc points.
During the present term the two Martins, not the
“Cro Martins.” but the Bee Martins, “Een and
Bob,” have been rc-electcd for the next six years,
Reporter and Clerk. This will bc good news to
the Bar of Georgia, for both these gentlemen are
excellent officers and universally popular with
thc profession. It is a special compliment to tbe
Clerk, as he has been a most decided opponent of
thc Democratic party, but now occupies his old
platform, “Troup and thc Treaty,” and says—
Right thar” he means to stand until the better
days of tbe Republic come back again. ' “May he
live a thousand years and his shadow never grow
less.”
The New Orleans English Opera. Troupe have
played to crowded houses for two weeks and leave
to-morrow for Charleston. This is an excellent
Company, and deserves tbe liberal patronage which
I am happy to say they have received here. I
hear that they propose to visit your beautiful city,
and if they do, tell your people to turn out to hear
them and they will not regret it. Miss Durand—
tho Prima Donna, is a most accomplished and de
lightful singer, beside being an admirable actress
and a very beautiful and graceful woman. She
reminds one of the Alice in the Geraldine of
Dawes—
“Her clear Hack eyes beneath a forehead fair,
1 Iris, 1 “ - - - -
Arched like an Iris, looked beneath their lashes
Like morning glories ; and her curling hair
Threw off such light as from the laurel flashes,
When the half-hidden sunbeam mellows down
. The laughing face of summer to a frown.”
Thc truth is, she is so pretty and graceful that
one forgets the mgsic, to admire the woman.
I was invited by a friend on yesterday, to visit
the Savannah Medical College and hear Dr. Ar
nold lecture. His subject was Yellow Fever, and
he handled it with great ability, and delivered a
most interesting and instructive lecture. The Doc
tor thinks that the profession have been misled by
Dr. Rush, in regard to this disease. He holds—that
in yellow fever there is no biliary secretion—and
on this question I would take his opinion in pref
erence to that of any Doctor. His experience and
learning as a medical man entities his judgment to
great consideration. The Legislature made a lib
eral appropriation to this institution, and as it al
ready bas a large and commodious College building
Mineralogical Cabinet—Museum, kc. I hope it
will meet with thc patronage which its able and
enterprising Faculty so richly deserves.
I am happy to say that Cotton is better—moncj
easier—and commercially, things look brighter
every way. Cotton would sell to-day for over ten
cents, and the Planters can now send forward their
crops with the certainty of obtaining remunerative
prices. Let them do it, and thc panic will subside.
I will write you occasionally as events of inter
est occur. Yours, truly,
AMICUS.
