Free African Emigration.
The scheme of Messrs. Regis & Co., of
Marseilles, for a complete free trade in the
transportation of African laborers from their
native land to any other country where they
can be disposed of, like any marketable com
modity, to tbe best advantage, and its par
tial exeent-ou with the tacit consent of the
French gv. eminent, have led to the supposi
tion in sonie quarters that the compact between
’ the civilized nations of the world for the sup
pression of the slave trade had fallen through,
and that France was permitted to discontinue
her active observance of her part of the agree
ment.
It is a fact perfectly authenticated, that the
free African emigration scheme is nothing else
than another name for the slave trade; be
cause the Africans who are taken as emigrants
are not in a position to refuse or consent to
emigrate, and are in many instances purchased

A New Cotton. '
Dr. D. C. Sharpe, of Cherokee county,
Teas, has sent to the N. O. Delta a specimen
of cotton grown by him from seeds brought
»n .Nicaragua, near Leon, in the mountains,
hi, the third year's production, on land lay
■g on the 32d parallel of latitude, in a prairie
onatry, the soil of which is sandy and saline,
aritals of salt, saltpetre and alum being nat-
trjll v formed on its surface. The stalk and
this cotton, Dr. Sharpe informs us,
ce about at> large as those of tne Pettit Gulf
muon, os a consequence of which 1000 pounds
«' it unginaed yields 500 pounds of ginned
e;ton that is the most noteworthy, and re-
zirkable. For fineness and silkincss, as well
* tenacity of fibre and tenuity of thread, we
never saw it equalled. These qualities have
lad tome to believe it to be the Sea Island cot-
t,in; but Dr. Sharpe is convinced that it is
tot. siuctsit differs from that cotton in many
-.iiterial respects, whatever may be the corrcs-
;■ :ilcncc between their respective staples.
| for iustance, he says that 250 poundu of this
[ an be picked by one band in a day, where
f the Sea Island not more than 30 pounds can
be picked. He believes that it can be success-
/tiily grown in nearly every part of Texas.
If >0, it may go cs a great element of a new
vricultural era In that magnificent State.
Tlic Charleston Mercury.
The Edgefield Advertiser, in publishing the
recently issued prospectus of the Charleston
Mercury, says with much truth, that‘ “the
Mercury is a paper of many proud associations,
for years it lias occupied the position of a
■ -ding southern journal; and by its devotion
tj suotbern rights and interests, has well sus-
uiued itself in that enviable attitude. Boast-
in its long and brilliant career, a succes-
•-u of talented and spirited editors, its very
Mae has come to be thought of as inseparably
( -aectcd with the intelligence and chivalry of
tie suauy South. Under its present efficient
cinagement, it cannot well fall below its estab
lished popularity, or do discredit to its histori-
ct! antecedents. Its proprietors and conduc
ts have our best wishes for a continued in
case of the weal and prosperity of their old

power of choice, even supposing that they are
capable, which the greater number ore not, of
comprehending and concluding a bargain. The
originators of this so called benevolent scheme
for supplying the West Indies with labor, build
ing np the shattered fortunes of these islands,
and at the same time “civilizing the African
race,” do not deny that they trade in slaves,
bat assert that it is for tbe good purpose of be-
c lining emancipationists, when they reach
Gaudaloupe and Martinique; that is, handing
ever the free African laborer to a planter for a
consideration, who has a right to compel said
free laborer to work, when, where and as long
tis he (the planter) pleases, daring a term of
years, after which the free laborer may either
become a settler, or may return to Africa to
"teach his countrymen the delights of free la
bor, and the charms of advanced civilization.
Messrs. Regis & Cc. have not made known by
what means they propose to enforce the eman
cipation of the laborers, even after tbe ten
years of compulsory free service have expired,
nor how “this curious hybrid, the free slave,”
is to be protected from oppression and ill treat
ment by his employer,—or rather his lessee;
nor in what way his remuneration of two and
a half dollars a month, (from the aggregate of
which it is to be proposed to deduct 200 francs
or sixteen months’ wages, for the transporta
tion from Africa,) is to be secured to him.
Ingenious French journalists have framed
a variety of arguments in favor of tbe new
scheme, but tbe only attempt to get over the
moral objection to a revival of the slave trade,
is, to show that though the negroes are pur
chased wholesale as slave, they are retailed in
the West Indies or elsewhere as free men, in
the manner already described. It seems, how
ever, that the plausible arguments advanced
by the Paris Constitutional have failed to con
vince other governments which from the infor
mation they have received as to the working
of the “Marseilles scheme,” have been induc
ed to remind the Imperial Government that to
sanction the plan of M. Regis would in reality
be to sanction a revival of the slave trade, and
violate solemn treaties. It has receutly been
stated in a semi-official organ of the English
government, that the matter has been official
ly brought under the notice of the Emperor,
and that he bqs been politely but firmly re
quested to continue faithful “ to the spirit' as
well as the letter of those engagements which
France has undertaken with her eyes open,
has executed conscientiously, and has hereto
fore scrupulously fulfilled;” and it is further
stated by the same journal that “the success
of attempts to confuse distinctions”'will be
vigorously resisted.
We own that so for as the scheme is public
ly known, we cannot see how it differs essen
tially from a legalized slave trade, if it be true,
as those best acquainted with the coast of Af
rica assert, that it is impossible to obtain 1000
free negroes to emigrate, on any terms what-

When the son found that the father could not

law really was in existence. The lawyer’s
answer was in the affirmative, but adding that,
if he would hand him over ten guineas, he
would give him a plan by which he could frus

quickly produced. “Now,” said tbe lawyer,
quietly pocketing the money, “ all that re

your son a cent of your money.” The Jew
hurriedly seized his hat, and left the lawyer
without any further remark.

LiasGood, the brother of widow Reid, and
Mirtitk jlell, her son in law, went to Cobb’s
taidence, took him to the bridge, then sent

great numbers except by bargain and purchase
from the native kings. Nor can we see how
the nominal free*man compelled to labor for a
term of ten years, will be one whit better off
than a slave, or even as well off. The latter
is well fed, well-housed, well clothed, and from
motives of self-interest, if not of humanity, is
not likely to be over-worked or abused by his
master. But the lessee of the free laborer,
who has no permanent interest in him. would
have little inducement to provide for his com
fort during his servitude, and none to seek his
welfare s 'ter its termination.
The discussion to which this scheme has giv
en rise, 13 causing considerable excitement in
Europe. In England, tbe country where ne
gro emancipation bos always had most friends;
where its economical advantages over slavery
have been most loudly proclaimed, and whero
the undertaking was first put iu practice, a
powerful movement is being made in favor of
some plan,—if not exactly that of M. Regis
& Co., at least very similar to it,—which will
supply the West Indies with laborers in suffi
cient numbers adequately to develope tbe re
sources of those colonics, and repair tbe injury
they have sustained from the extinction of ne
gro slavery. Two of the most able and promi
nent newspapers in England,—the London
Times and Spectator,—declare that the aboli
tion of slavery has ruined the planters, raised
the price of sugar, failed to establish a class of
free blacks capable of developing the industrial
resources of the colonics, added to instead of
extinguishing the cruelties of the slave trade,
in short, that it has been a complete failure,
both in a commercial and philanthropical point
of view ; and they advocate the adoption of
the best and surest means of remedying these
evils. The Exeter Hall speakers and writers
adhere with tenacity to their abolition schemes,
which the London Times calls “the intentions
and failures of the last generation;" join is
sues with free emigrationists, and roundly as
sail the plans of the latter, as an aggravated
form of the slave trade. The controversy is
interesting and instructive to us on this side
of the Atlantic.—Journal of Commerce.

in bis address, that he did vote in convention
to submit the entire Constitution to the vote
of the people, but was defeated, and then went
for a vote on the slavery article. He also says
thero was an attempt made to practice a de

the legislature to the free State party. He
is of the opinion that this leaves no room for
contention.

Later from Salt Lake.
Below we give some important intelligence
from Salt Lake, received by way of Carson
Valley, and telegraphed from Sacramento.
The main fact appears to be that the troops at
tempted to force a passage through Echo Ca
non, but were unsuccessful:
Sacramento, January 9,1858.
Messrs Middleton and Pearson arrived at
Carson Valley on the 6th, and Mr. Pearson
has just arrived from Carson Valley, via Big
Trco route. They brought an express from
Washington to Harris Fork, for Col. Johnson.
On December 7th, Col. Alexander, with the
6th Dragoons, had attempted to force their way
through Echo Canon; in the attempt, four of
the dragoons were killed. Thinking it impos
sible to force the pass, Col. Johnson, who had
assumed command of the troops, retired, and
in a few days despatched Col. Alexander, with
twenty-eight dragoons as an escort, to St.
Louis, to obtain supplies. Col. Johnston then
retreated a short distance to Sulphur Springs
and took the Sublettee cut off around to the
North of Salt Lake to Box Elder, from which
Messrs. Middleton and Pearson started De
cember 13th. Col. Johnson was there at the
time with the 2d and 3d dragoons and light ar
tillery, seven six pound and five twelve pound
paixhans. Ho has sent foraging parties, fifty
men each, and has obtained two thousand and
four hundred cattle, and other supplies of all
kinds. The Colonel has pickets out all the
way from Bold Elder to Gravelly ford of from
40 to 60 men. An escort of seven dragoons
came with the expressmen to Gravelly Ford. .
He will attempt to enter Salt Lake city about
the 1st of May, as he expects Harney will ar
rive on the other side about that time.
There are three compauies of dragoons at
Fort Bridger. Fort Supply, twelve miles south,
lias been evacuated by the Mormons, and tbe
troops have possession of it. Mr. Pearson has
seen no snow since leaving Carson Valley.
Johnston’s command have experienced no in
convenience whatever from tnow, not having
seen any. Harney will have the 2d dragoons,
three companies, Kith mounted regiment. Five
companies rifles will arrive on tbe Uth.
Fleming Bros., Isent and got a box, of which I took
two Pills on going to bed, for two nights. .They re
lieved me entirely. Some time has now elapsed,
and I have had no more trouble from sick-beadaclie,

woman render her subject. The result of all these
stimlants has been to impart momentary activity to
tho nervous system, and false vigor to the muscles:
but this relief lias been succeeded by a depression
and prostration greater than before; and the repeat
ed attempts of invalids to build themselves up by
these false remedies, have finally ended in destroy
ing what little vital organization was left. But in
using “Bmrhave's Holland Bitters” you will find no
such disastrous results. It is a purely vegetable
compound, prepared on strictly scientific principles,
after the manner of the celebrated Holland Profes
sor, Btcrbave. Under its infinence every nerve and
muscle receives new strength and vigor, appetite
and sleep return, and, finally, perfect health.
