LAND SLIDEs.-The low stage of water has
occasioned the cavng in of the earth at the land
ing Of almost every town on the banks of the
Mississippi. The first accident Of the kind oc-

portion of the wharves along the Picayune Tier.
The next happened at Vicksburg, and more re-
Gently the Free Trader describes two other land
slides at Rodney and Nachez. In the latter
place the land had cracked in two places near the
cotton press, and extended nearly as low down as
the Steamboat Hotel. The walls of the cotton
warehouse, erected near the press, were cracked
considerably, and it is supposed they will have
to be removed. A gentleman direct from Rodney,
states that portion Of the town had fallen into
the river, and that two houses had actually been
destroyed by the land slide or caving of the bank
No tTdings of similar disaster at Grand Gufhas
yet reached us, and protected as that place'is, by
the rocky abutments of the Gulf Hills, there
is probability that it may escape the threatened

Messrs. Editors:.-Having seen in your valu-
able paper proposition in favor of the Colonial
ton Society for the coast of Africa and finding it
to meet my ideas exactly, beg leave to say that
| am a resident of one of those places where the
trade in human blood is still carried on by import
ing thousands of Afrca's sons every year, and
consequently often hear the remarks of these tra-
ders and their captains, and find that next to the
exertions of the British cruisers, they deprecate
the small colony or colonies now established on
the coast, and say ''they cannot buy single ne
gro within some hundreds of miles of them"
They are fully aware that the colonies are un-
dermining the traffic, and, if persisted in, must
ruin it. | am therefore, of the opinion that colo
nies planted on the African coast, must be attend
ed with great good, even if considered in no other
light than in putting down an abominable traffic.
But this is not the only blessing resulting from
Colonization. Towns planted on the coast will
tend to civilize the colored man. Religion will
be introduced among them, and soon will Ethio-
pia stretch forth her hands with Joy, exhibiting
the wonderful works of God and salvation through
our Redeemer.
have lived many years in a land of slavery.
On my first arrival there, / thought the negro the
connecting link between the man and the brute;
but my opinion is now far different. | firmly be-
lieve that the population Of Africa are as suscep-
tible of education and refinement as any nation
under heaven; and certainly they fall into the pre-
cepts of Religion with far greater dociliy than
our own white brethren.
They have fewer prejudices to lose, and will
even learn any useful trade as quick as the white
man. found my opinion upon actual expert
ence, having been conversant with negroes from
more than twenty different nations or tribes; and
although no Aboli,onist, would gladly be the
means of putting stop to exporting the African
from his native soil, and make an effort to civiize
him at home. TO those friendly to the cause,
you can give my address.-Chrisfian Statesman.

NEW SOCIETY.

A society of an extraordinary character has
Just been founded at Boston, under the appella-
ton of 1.-The New England Non-Resistance So
ciety." Its constitution, among other similar
things, declares ''that no one who processes to
have the spirit Of Christ can consistently sue a
man at law for redress of injuries, or thrust any
evil doer into prison, or fill any office in which he
would come under obligation to execute penal en-
actments, or take any part in the military SER
vice, or acknowledge allegiance to any human
government, or justify any man in fighting in
defence Of properly, liberty, life, or Religion
&C." &c. Truly, Jack Cade is come again.
One would think, from this and other specimens
which might be given, that company of thieves,
pick pockets, &C., had got together and framed
a constitution to protect themselves against the
laws.
The master workman and constitution drawer
in making this society, is the master spirit of i'm
mediate and unconditional Abolition, the peaceful
and serene Mr. GARRISON. But we cannot speak
another word in ridicule. Alas! that this man
should have suffered so much from the local laws
of the country, for we cannot escape the impres.
sion that it has unsettled brain which at bes
was probably none too steady.
1t is allowable to judge the tree by its fruit
Apply this rule to Garrison, and the inevitable
conclusion to which we must come is that he
is demented- Ed. ". "A. ..:"

Landslide in Tcksbug.-The New Orleans
Advertiser. of the 2sth ult., says:-''In Vicks

landing appeared to be cracked and rent, and fis.

the city; large commission ware house, situate
at the termination of Main street, near the LIE.
wee, was noticed to be giving way; the occupants
became alarmed and hastily removed their goods;
they had hardly succeeded in doing so, ere the
building became mass of ruins. 1t had rented
for $4,000 per annum. A new and splendid
house, in process of building, was also badly
cracked by the sinking of the earth, which, if il
spreads, will be attended with runous effects to
Vicksburg. Several houses were observed to be
in critical position, and fears were entertained
for their stability"

"A meeting of steamboat owners, officers, &c.
was heldln Cincinnati last week, at which it was
resolved not to regard the law passed by Congress
at the last session, entitled an act to provide for
the better security of the lives of passengers on
board OF vessels propelled in whole or in part by
seam.'
What appellaton will characterize this pro-
ceeding on the part of steamboat owners? As it
is not of sufficient Importance to be dignifed
with that notification, will just call it what j.

Chesapeake and Ohio Ca,aal.-T Canal is
amply supplied with water, and the repairs made
at the upper Dam appear TO have been efficient as
the supply was sufficient before the rains. This
fact confirms the opinion heretofore entertained by
the most scientific and intelligent engineer, thai
the Potomac will afford abundant resources in this
way, without resort to any auxiliary streams, and
places the success of this great work on the mos
sure foundations. We hope in the augmented
trade, that the resources will be such as to iustify
the most sanguine calculations which the friends
of this truly national work have entertained We
learn the division of Canal, extending 20 miles
above this place, is nearly ready to receive the
