XXXII. MACON, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 8. 1858. NO. Words. Words are lighter than the cloud-foam Of tho restless ocean-spray; Vainer than tho trembling shadow That the next hour steals away. By the fail of summer rain-drops Is the air as deeply etirr’d; And the rose-leaf that we tread on Will outlive a word. Vet on the dull alienee breaking With a lightning flash, a word Bearing endless desolation On it* blighting wings, I heard. Earth can forge no keener weapon Dealing sorer death and pain. And the cruel echo answer'll Tlirough long years again. I hare known one word hang star-like O'er a dreary waste of years. And it only shone the brighter Look’d at through a midst of tears: White a weary wanderer gather'd Hope and heart on life's dark war, By ita faithful promise shining Clearer day by day. 1 hare known a spirit calmer Than the calmest lake, and clear As the heaven that gazed upon it, With no wave of nope or fear; r. Bat» storm had swept across it. And its deepest depths were stirr'd, Sever never moro to slumber, Oaly by a word. i have known a word more gentle Thau the breath of summer air. In a listening heart it nestled, And it lived for ever there. Snt the heating of ita prison Slirr'd it ever, uight or day; * Only with the heart's last throbbing Could it fado away. Words aro mighty, words are living : Serpents with tbeir venomous stings, Or bright angels crowding round us With heaven’s light upon their wings: Every word has its own spirit, True nr false, that never dies; Every word man’s lips have utter 'd Ki'fioes in God's skies.

Vampire fftidkadlak, in tho Illyriu dialect) is the name giv- Ota the dead who leave their graves by night, to jc.-k the blood of the living. Those who die by the ted* of a vampire are likewise converted into'vam- pirn, a* «oon as they ceaso to exist; aud these' are topoiled of alljgeneroiufeeling, fort hey prefer to tor z-ut their kindred and fnends rather tnau strangers, suns believe that the vampire ia a Divine judgment, ul others that it is a fatality. The most accredited ipinion is that schismatics and heretics being able to fed r.o rut in their graves, revenge the pangs they offer upon the living. Designs of vampirism are, the preservation of the . rjw Irom decay, the fluidity of the blood and the dutifity of the members. It is said that vampires toe their eyes opened inside of theirtorabs, and that L-ir hair aud nails grow as if they were alive. Some et kuown by the noise they make in tbeir graves, poring everything about them, and snmetimi-s even trirown bodies.

When tboy came : that of the old man, ha was found with his eyes mil his face flushed, and breathing naturally, w Mvvrtheless immovable as a oorpre. The exe- -t pierced the heart with bis swotd. A pyre immediately formed, and tho body having been rtrrvd was cast upon it. After this, no sign of ’“finsm were found on the bodies of the son or the ''labors. Mreral years since an inhabitant ofr Modriga, f®*4 Paul Arnold, was cruslied to death beneath "heels of a wagon. Thirty days after his death ‘•upmons died, who, it was said by the other citl- J**- w«e victims of tho vampires!

I had better have said nothing of tho kind, for tho father replied bitterly, nnd the daughter began to shed tears, reiterating ceaselessly: “ Woo’s me! to dio so young—so young!" The mother heaped re proaches upon me, calling mo infidel, incredulous, im pious, declaringshe had recognized Wieeznany. See ing this blind obstinacy, I concluded to hold my peace. All the amulets in tho house were hung about the neck of Khava. Her lather swore that ho woul-l go next day to disintor Wieeznany, and burn him in the presence of his kindred. At the break of day tho whole city was put in pommolion. The men went armed with guns and sickles, the women carried red hot irons, and the chil dren sticks and stones. In this manner they approach ed the cemttery, with loud and furious cries. The exhumation occupied considerable time. As all wished to take part in tho vengeance, innumerable quarrels sprung up, which wonld have had an evil ond had notthe old men interfered and declared that tw o men only should disinter tho corpse. The mo ment the cloth which covered the body was removed, a sharp, horrible cry raised the hair upon my head. This cry had proceeded from a woman at my side. “It U a vampire!” she exclaimed, and a thousand voices echood tho words.

'When it was lighted they commenced to dance around it, accompanying them selves with savage yells. The stench that the corpse exhaled obliged me to retire to my inn. This was full of people—men smoking and women talking all at once, andstunning wilh their voices tho poor sick child, who lmrdly able to reply to them, llerneck wassoaked in this redand infectious liquor, n hich they mistook for blood. The multitude disap pearing, by degrees, I was left alone with the family. The 'infirmity was groat. Khava felt the approach of night and longed for tho appearance of day.

Nothiug could free her from the gloomy thoughts thaf occupied her fancy. She dreaded death, and no humab power could save her. A few days after her rosy Ups grew livid and her black eyes shone with unwonted brilliancy. At last, one morning, she called her father, and be sought him when she was dead, to cut off her head. She embraced her mother, who wept scalding tears. Then she took an amulet from her neck and said to me: “Keep it; I think that it will bo more useful to thee than me!’’ These sad ccrmoaies ended, she re ceived the holy sacrament with devotion. Two or thrCo hours afterwards she breathed moro heavily, and her eyes were fixed.

The Select Committee appointed to inquire into tho expenditure ot money for tho purpose of influ encing the passage of the tnrift' net of .1857, by the Thirty-Fourth Congress, reported to the House on Thursday. _ The Committee, acting upon the belief that the ac tion of the House in instituting the investigation had beeu based mainly upon the pnblishcd report of a committee of the stockholders of the Middlesex Man ufacturing Company, referred to that paper for in formation as the proper starting point iu making the investigation with which they were charged. They there ascertained that Richard S. Fay, Jr., had ac ted, as secretary of that committee, that Ilia investi gation had been mainly conducted aud the report prepared by him. ' After some furtherintroduetory remarks, the Com mittee give the following summary of the facts as they came within the range of their inquiry: The firm of Lawrence, Stone A Co., was compos- eddt Samuel Lawrence, W. W. Stone, Jarvis Slade, O. H. Perry, and Henry Jenkins. Its principal place of business was in Jioston, with a branch iu New Vork, where a largo share of its business was trans acted. Messrs. Lawrence, Slade A Perry were tho Boston partners, and Messers. Stone A Jenkins had charge oftho Now Vork house. The Middlesex Manufacturing Company is a cor poration created by the laws of Massachusetts with a capital of a million of dollars, engaged in mauufact- ttfwgjfwlen goods. The Bay State Mills is a cor-' poranon, of the same kind, created in the same way, with the same amount of capital ana engaged in the same kind of business. Samuel Lawrence was the Treasurer of both of these corporations, and the firm of Lawrence Stone A Co. their agents. All tbogoods manufactured by the companies went into the hands of Lawrence, Stone A Co. were sold by them, anl the proceeds accounted for and paid to Samuel Lawrence, Treasurer. The finances of the Boston house were managed by Messrs. Lawrence and Slade, Mr. Perry’s business being at the mills, and not at the counting house. Hence Mr. Perry seems not to have been in any way connected with tho matters which the committee have been.endeavoring to investigate. The New Vork house seems to have been.mainly under the control of Mr. Stone and Mr. Jenkins, and does not seem to bavehsd any direct connection with the matters that have been brought to the attention of tbo Committee, It appears from the evidence that the manufac turers of woolen goods having for several years past despaired of obtaining any legislative protection by an incrense of duties on woolen havo been seeking to accomplish the same result by reducing the rate on wool, dye stuffs and other raw materials that were used by the manufacturers. To this end they, have been diligently engaged in collecting and publishing such statistics ami arguments as they considered proper to prepare the publio mind lor that step. In t his way a small amount ot money was expended pri or to the commencement of the last session of Con gress. ditinnai sum. And tlie brief timo allowed the com mittee before they will be disorganized by the ad journment of Congress, leave no opportunity for further enquiry. Tho evidence also shows that the manufacturers sought to propitiate and conciliate leading men in all the political parties of the country to favor their scheme. Thus, 53,500 was paid to Mr. Stone, editor of an influential free-trade paper, which supported both the out going and incoming administrations, “for collecting and publishing statistics." And C5,- 000 is paid to Mr. Weed for collecting statistics and using arguments with members in favor of the meas ure. And SI,500 is paid to Mr. J. N. Reynolds, Presi dent of tho American Councils of New York city, for getting op resolutions, etc., etc. It is proper for us to say, that at the time Mr. Weed was not the publisher of a newspaper, that ho held no office, and that his exertions and influence alone were sought for and obtained. But it is also true that perhaps no man iu the country exerted a larger or more controlling infill enco over the Repnlican party than Mr. Weed. There is not a particle of evidence that any part ot the sum expended by Lawrence, Stone A Co., to in fluence the passago of the tariff of 1857 ever went in to the hands of any member of Congress. And if any reliance could be placed in the evidence of Mr. \V oleott, it shows affirmatively that no portion of it ever did. But the committee mint be permitted to say that they havo not ono particle of confidence iu •lie el id-m i. which Mr. Wolcott saw proper to give before the Committee. He testifies that he received no money to bo used in influencing tbo passage of tiie Inriff of 1857. All the evidence in tho case flatly contradicts the statement. He says he paid no men- ey to any person to influence tho pasngeof the tariff. Geo. Ashman testifies that Mr. Wolcott paid him 11,000 for thatpurpose, and no other. His evidence is, beyond all controversy, wilfully and corruptly false. Tho_ facts disclosed, by the investigation do not seem, In the opinion oftho Committee, to call for any action on the part of the House. The only person subject to tho control of the House, who is shown t-j have been criminally connected with the transaction, is Mr. Corbin, who resigned his positiou as clerk of the Committee on Claims, about tLe timo this Com mittee was appointed.. The .Committee therefore re commended the following resolution: Jladced, That the Committee be discharged from the further consideration of the subject, and that the report and accompanying evidence he printed. Letter from Mr. Secretary Cobb. Canal Through the Isthmus of Da ft IEN. In the procedings of the Senate last Friday, a state The evidence satisfied the committee that Mr Wolcott was sent there and authorizedto pledge any amount of money and to use any means, however corrupt, to insure the success of the enterprise He does not seem to have had any considerable sum of money here with him. And from all the evidence iu tbo cose, the committee are inclined to the opinion that ho was only authorized to promise the payment of monev in the event of the success of the measure. It is proved that 57t.00D was paid to Mr. Wolcott soon after the adjournment of the last session of Con gress by Lawrence, Stone A Co., evideutly for the purpose of fulfilling his alleged promises and under- | standing made during the session to secure the pass age of the tariff. This was in addition to some 5500 advanced for expenses during the session. The proofs do not show that ho ever paid a dollar of the sum for the purpose for which it was advanced, with tho exception of 54,080 to George Asbmun of Massachusetts. Whether he Wisely represented to Lawrence, Stone A Co. that lie had made promises which required this sum to enable him to moot or whether he had in fact made promises which be afterwards failed to comply with, may be matter of controversy, but there is no doulit that he cheated soinbody, and appropriated pretty nearly the whole of this vast snm to his own ato. * • • • It was ail paid to him during tho month of March 1817. The firstjiaymont was by a draft drawn by tho Boston house upon tho N. Y. house dated March 11,1857 for - 535,000 Tlie next was made on the 13th of March and was paid by Mr. Stono in negotiating pa per and a check upon the Metropolitan U ink, and amounted to 20,018 On the 14th of March ho was paid by Mr. Stone the further sum of. 12,!>e2 On the 10th or!2th of March he was paid by Sir.

S. X., as to tho practicability of inter-oceanic communication from the Gn! en by the Atrato and Truando rivers. In giving the following abstract the 7*/tf/ige*rer remarks that "the report of Lieut. Craven will set at rest all further speculations on tlio subject. The scheme, though not deemed impracticable, could only be accomplish- oil, it -.-. ill-, iift.-r many years' labor, at an immense expense, through a region of country wet and sickly eight months in the year. There are happily other means of ready communication between the Atlantic and Pacific, and American enterprise and energy will donbtless point these out, and bring them into use be fore the present century.” My theory, [says Lieut. C., in a letter dated New York, May 17,] with regard to this remarkablo val ley, is that it was originally a gulf which, by the grad ual process of ages, has been filling with the debris from the adjacent mountains, and its present condi tion is that of a vast moriiss, extending from tho Gulf of Darien to within a veiy short distance of tho Pa cific coast, from which it is separated by the Darien chain of the Cordilleras. Through this marsh tho Atrato has its course re ceiving but few and small tributaries in the extent of the survey, and discharging into the Gulf of Da rien by a delta of eleven mouths. Tlie delta projects itself into the Gulf of Darien far beyond the limits of the adj.teent coast, is very similar in general to the delta of the Mississippi, anil is composed of an allu vial deposit of the softest ooze, which has formed a mud bank extending for an average distance of one mile ontside oftho mouth of the river. ’i li-- .- v. r-igi- depth by which the mouths of the riv- er cm be entered does not exceed six feet, and so slight is the consistency of the muddy deposit refer red to, that it is liable to daily change, tho same con dition scarcely cxistinga wc-ek dmiag tlie soaeon of breeze*.’’ which are fresh from tho North, and low rao fresh, with very little intermission throughout the winter months, that, with the opposing currents from tho river, tho bars are kept iu continual agita tion! The mean depth ofwaier which can be carried through most of thcdeltic branches, does not exceed twenty-two feet; these branches, are also snbject to changes, and two old channols are now closing up. Having entered the maiu stream, tho depth is quite sufficient for every purpose of navigation, the mean depth being eight fathoms, which may be carried all through the Truando. The channel in some hti bends is narrow, and on either sido the stream is tail of snags: that portion within twenty miles of the Gulf is overflowed during the greater portion of the year, and the trees on the part of theriver do not af ford any good timber. Tlie Atrato, at sixty miles from its mouth, receives the Truaudo river, a small, insignificant stream, very tortuous, narrow, and, in its mean depth, in mid channel does uot exceed ten feet; the average breadth being twenty yards. The lower partof the Truando for ten miles nows through a lagoon. The banks of the stream are here and there fringed with trees, but in general are submerged, showing only the rank grass as a demarkation of the limits of the stream. Above this lagoon the river flows for a distance of sixteen miles through a labyrinth of well timbered islands, the soil all of the same alluvial character, without any tenacity, except such as is afforded by the root.3 of the trees; and the low banks here are also inundated daring a greater portion of tho year. Tho trees are constantly being undermined by tLe wearing away of the banks, and fall into tho stream. To such an extent is this going on that the party bad to cut ten or twelve large trees within the distauco of five miles; many others be passed by hauling over them, or by forcing their way nnder them—the same difficulties occuring in ascending and descending the river. The bed ofthis portion of tho Truando is evi dently a complete mass of logs, which are causing frequent changes, damming in some places and open ing new channels in other, two places having been observed where old channels were completely closed and new ones were being cut. At Camp Bache, near the upper extremity of this portion of the stream, was the first permanent habi tation on the river; one Indian hut, erected on piles about six feet above the ground, which affords an idea of the depth of overflow. Above tho Palos Caidos the stream widens, and the banks have moro elevation, having an average height of eight feet above the stream. The soil loses somewhat of its monidy character, and is more of a light, sandy loam Tho average is twelve feet. Seven miles abovo the Palos Caidos, we come to a series of rapids and shal lows, with a rocky bed; and, three miles higher np, we reach the Falls, which are about three miles in extent. The river litre rushes through a mountain gap, having for its bed a solid mass of basaltic rock. The stream is narrow—scarcely averaging forty feet and very meandering in its course. The fall in three miles is about twenty feet. Abovo tho Falls the stream widens again, and flows over a bed of solid rock, with an average depth of ten feet, the breadth being forty yards. Five miles above the Falls, the Xergua discharges into the Truando. It is a small, insignificant stream, very narrow, incaudro-sorpen- tine in its character, fait of shallows, and nearly as much filled with trees as that part of the Truando called the Palos Caidos. . « » The climate of the Atrato valley is regarded as cne of the worst on this continent, and offers a most formidable obstacle to any extensive operations— The working season of the entire year is comprised in the months of December, January, February and March, the comparatively dry season. When the rains commence, the alternations of inundation and torrid heat engender those epidemic fevers, from which even the natives are not exempt, and which are wretchedly wasting to the constitntion. Lieut. Craven thus sums np tbo actual physical difficulties to be overcome in cutting the proposed Canal; 1. A cut through some five miles of submerged mud lit the mouth of tbo river, with the prospective certainty of constant dredging to keep it open. 2. The herculean labor andincalculableexpense of cutting through the lagoons of tho Ttnando, and the embedded logs of tho Palos Caidos, where the whole country is inundated daring at least nine months of of the year, and where the floods of a day may de stroy the work of a week. 3. The vast expense attending the removal of basultic rock, in a country where labor nnd provi sions must all be imported at mo3t extravagant rates. i. Tne want of au anchorage on the Pacific coast. 5. Tho fatal effects of tlie climate, which, it may be safely estimated, will disable at least one third of any force that may bo sent there. You will not be surprised, sir, that, with the pre ceding arguments, I am of the opinion that the pro- TOshd c:.nul is impracticable, as involving an expeu- titure of treasure not easily estimated, and a sacrifice of life from which the stoutest heart may- shrink.— Human perseverance and ingenuity may, it is true, curcomu the obstacles enumerated; but at least two me rations muft pass away ere the world can realize ic accomplishment of a mach less extensive work than that contemplated.

The object of the applicants must be either to import Africans, to be disposed of as slaves, or to be bound to labor or service, or else - to bring them into tho country like other emigrants, to be entitled on their arrival to the rights and privileges of freemen. In either of the two first named contingencies, the object would be so clearly and manifestly against the laws of tho United States, os to leave no room for doubt or hesitation. I deem it proper, how ever, to call your attention to the provisions of those laws, as they indicate very clearly the general policy of the Government on the sub ject of African importation. Prior to the 1st January, 1808, the time fixed by tho Constitution when Congress would be authorized to prohibit such importation, theacts of 2d March 1794 (1.347.) and 10th May, 1800 (2.70,) were passed. The Jaws indicate the strong opposition felt at that time to the Afri can slave trade. The subsequent act of 2d March, 1807 (2.426.) and 20th April, 1818 (3.- 450,) as well as the acts of 3d March, 1819 (3,532.) and 15th May, 1820 (3.G00,) show not only the promptness with which the power was exercised by Congress of prohibiting this trade to the United States, but they also bear evidence of the stern purpose of enforcing their provisions by severe penalties and large expen ditures. The legislation of the slaveholding States prior to 1808, exhibits the thatfirststeps taken for its suppression were inaugurated by them. There is no subject upon which the statute books of our country afford more conclusive evidence than the general opposition every where felt to the continuance of the African slave trade. By reference to the acts of 1794 and 1800 against the slave trade generally, it will be seen that their operation was confined to slaves eo nomine. The first section of theact of 1704 provides, “That no citizen or citizens of the United States, or foreigner, or any other per son coming into or residing within the same, shall, for himself or any other person whatso ever, either as master, factor or owner, build, fit, equip, load or otherwise prepare any ship or vessel, within any port or place of the said United States, nor shall cause any ship or ves sel to sail from any port or place within the same, for the purpose of carrying on any trade or traffic in slaves to any foreign country; or for the purpose of procuring, from any * * kingdom, place or country, the Inliauitahtsor such kindom, place or couutry, to be transpor ted to any foreign country, port, or place what ever, to be sold or disposed of, as slaves : and if-any ship or vessel shall be so fitted out, as aforesaid, for the said purposes,or shall be caus ed to sail as aforesaid, every such ship or vessel, her tackle, furniture, apparel and other appar- tenances, shall be forfeited to the United States; and shall be liable to be seized, prosecuted aud condemned iu any of the Circuit Courts, or District Court for the District where the said ship or vessel may bo found and seized.” The language of the act of 1800 is the same in this respect. Both contemplate, in general terms, the prevention of the trade in slaves. When, however, in 1807, and subsequent there to, Congress undertook to prevent the impor tation of slaves into the United State, the lan guage of the law was made more stringent and comprehensive. The first section of the act of 1807 provides, “That from and after the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and eight, it shall not be lawful to import or bring into the United States or the Territories thereof, from any foreign kingdom, place or country, any negro, mulatto, or person of col or, with intent to hold, sell or dispose of such negro, mulatto, or person of color, as a slave or lo he held to service or labor. This law seeks not only to prevent the in troduction into the United State of slaves from Africa, but any negro, mulatto or person of color, whether introduced as slaves or to be held lo service or labor. Whether or not the wisdom of our fathers foresaw at that early day that ef forts would be made, under a pretended ap prentice system, to renew the slave trade un der another name, I canuot undertake to say; bnt the language of the law which they have left to us on the statute book, leaves no doubt of the fact that they intended to provide, in tbo most unequivocal manner, against the in crease of that class of population by immigra tion from Africa. No one could then have contemplated an object for which African emi grants would be brought to this country, which is not clearly guarded against and forbidden by the law to which I am now referring. It is only necessary to add that subsequent acts on the subject contain the same language. This view of the subject is strengthened by reference to tho provisions of the act of 28th February, 1803 (2.205.) The first section of that act is as follows: “That from and after the first day of April next, no master or cap tain of any ship or vessel, or any other person, shall import or bring, or cause to be imported or brought, auy negro, mulatto, or other per son of color, not being a native, citizen, or re gistered seaman of the United States, or sea men natives of countries beyond the Cape of Good Hope into any port or place of the Uni ted States, which port or place shall bs situated in any State which by law has prohibited, the admission or importation of such negro, mulat to, or other person of color; and if any captain or master aforesaid, or any other person, shall import, or bring, or cause to bo imported or brought, into any cf the ports or places afore said, any of the persons whose admission or importation is prohibited as aforesaid, he shall forfeit and pay tlie sum of one thousand dol lars for each’and every negro, mulatto, or other person of color, aforesaid, brought or im ported as aforesaid, to besued for and recover ed by action of debt, in any court of tho Uni ted States—one-half thereof to the use of th- United States, the other half to any person or persons prosecuting for the penalty; and in any action instituted for the recovery of the penalty aforesaid, the person or persons sued may be held to special bail: Provided always. That nothing iu this act shall be construed to prohibit the admission of Indians.” It will be seen that Congress by this act, undertook to co-operate with those States which, by State legislation, had interposed to prevent tho importation of negroes into this country. At that time the constitutional pro hibition to which I have before referred, re strained Congress from the exercise of the ab solute power of prohibiting such importation. The States, however, being under no such re straint, had iu several instances adopted meas ures of their own : aud the act of 1 shows the promptness of the General Government in exercising -whatever power it possessed in furtherance of the object. Tlie language of this act is important In another view. It will he observed that its object is to prevent the importation into the United States of “anj-ne gro, mulatto,or other person of color, not being a native, a citizen, or registered seaman of the United States, or seatnen natives of countries beyond the Cape of Good Hope.” It is not confined to slaves or negroes hound to labor, hut contemplates the exclusion, iu the broadest terms, of all such persons, without regard to the character in which they may be brought. It excludes free persons as well as slaves and persons bound to labor or service. The only limitation in the act is, that it is confined to such persons as arc prevented by tho laws of any of the States from being imported into such States. At that time there existed laws of some oftho States, not only prohibiting tiie introduction of negro slaves, but also free" negros. Indeed the policy Of the slaveholding' States has al ways been opposed to the increase of its free negro population; and it is proper hero to re mark, at the present time, that policy is more earnestly sustained in those States than at any previous period of their history. After this reference to tlie laws on the subject, it is hard ly necessary to repeat, that if the application of Messrs. Lnfittc and Co. contemplates the introduction of negroes into the United States from Africa,either in the character of slaves or as apprentices bound to service or labor, it is clearly in violation of both the letterand spirit of the law, and cannot be granted. The form of the application made by Messrs. Latitte and Co. would seem to contemplate the introduction into the United States of negroes from Africa, entitled, on their arrival, to all the rights and privileges of freemen. The proposition upon its face, is so absurb that it is itardly worthy of serious refutation. Messrs. Latitte and Co. ask us to believe that their vessel, fitted out in the port of Charleston, S. C., is going upon a voyage to Africa, to bring to some port in the United States a cargo of free negroes. The port to which the vessel expects to return is not indicated.- It cannot be the DELIGHTFUL TO THE EYE And accessible to tlie Purses of tlse Million 2 DIMM & WATERMAN’S NEW STOCK OF SPRING AND SUMMER GOODS, Jl ST RECEIVED, Silk, Berage, Gingham, Cambric sinil Jlargravinc s 2 ZEILIX. HIM & eo.. one from which it sails, nor any other port in the State of South Carolina, as the introduction of free negroes into that State is wisely prohibi ted by stringent laws and heavy penalties. It cannot be the port of any other slaveholding State, as similar laws in each of those States alike forbid it. The reason for such laws is so manifest, that I do not feel called upon cither produce the evidence of their existence, or justify the policy which led to their adop tion. ■* It is sufficient to know that the public mind of that section of the Union is not more cordially agreed upon any one subject than upon the propriety and necessity of prohibit ing, as far as possible, an increase of the free negro population ; and hence the laws to which I refer, prohibiting their importation from any place. Can it be that Messrs. Lafitte and Co. pro pose to return, with their cargo of free negroes, to a port in some of tho non-slavehold ing States ? Iam uot aware of a single State where these new comers would receive a tol erant, much less a cordial, welcome; whilst, by stringent laws and constitutional provis ions, some of them have provided for their un conditional exclusion. .Looking beyond tho legislation -which has been bad on the subject by tjie General Gov ernment, and both the slaveholding and-the non slaveholding States, I may be permitted to refer, iu this connection, to the various, re peated and earnest efforts which have been made in every section of the Union, to provide for the removal from our midst of this most unfortunate class. However variant the mo tives which have induced these efforts with different sections of the country, they all ex hibit tin earnest desire to diminish rather than increase the free negro population. This pub lic opinion, thus manifested in every form, is familiar to every one, and it would be doing great injustice to the intelligence of Messrs. Lafitte & Co. to suppose that they alone were ignorant of it. Where, then, do they propose to land their cargo of free negroes 1 What is the motive which induces the enterprise ? It cannot be the profits of the voyage. There are no African emigrants seeking a passage to this country; and if there were, they have no means of remunerating Messrs. Lafitte and Co. for bringing them. The motive cannot be mere philanthropy, for it would confer no benefit upon these negroes to bring them to our shores, where, if permitted to land at all, it would only be to occupy our pest-houses, hos pitals and prisons. To believe, under the cir cumstances, there is a bona fide purpose, on the part of Messrs. Lafitte and Co., to bring Af rican emigrants to this country to enjoy the rights and privileges of freemen, would require an amount of credtilty that would justly sub ject the person so believing to the charge of mental imbecility. The conviction is irresisti ble, that the object of the proposed enterprise is to bring these “African emigrants” into the country, with the view either of making slaves of them, or of holding them to service or labor. If so, it is au attempt to evade the laws of the country on the subject of African importation, to which I have called your attention. Ordinarily, it would be an unsafe rule for a public oflicer to act upon the suspicion of a purpose on the part of another to violate the laws of the country, but in this case it is put so clearly beyond the reach of doubt, that I think that you not only can, but that you are in duty bound to act upon the presumption, that it is the intention ot Messrs. Lafitte and Co. to evade the laws of the .United States, and you should accordingly refuse their vessel tho clearance asked for. I am, very respectfully, HOWELL COBB, Secretary of the Treasury. Wh.

A correspondent of the Musical World says: About seven years ago, I suffered os severely as anyone possibly could do from indigestion. I-was monthly under our Own family doctor, and one of the most eminent surgeons in tho town in which I live; several months again under two other medical, men, beside s trying all kinds of things that friends recom mended. I scarcely dared to cat anything, and the most simple drinks would rack me with pain. One evening a friend called and asked me to go with her to a musical meeting. I told her I could not, as I was in too much pain to enjoy ever such good singing, However, after much persuasion, I wnnt, and when there, was induced to become a subscriber. Every member of tbo society was supposed to be a good reader of music; and as I knew nothing of it except the names of the notes, I commenced taking lessons in singing. After that my indigestion gradually lcft me, aud in a short time 1 was quite well of it, and have been over since. I cannot tell how it was it did mo so much good, but I leuow it made mo very hun gry—what I itad never been for two vearo before ; nor did I ever in my life enjoy my food s > much be fore I sang as I have since.
