many other kinds of wild grain, besides
several specimens of soil, which we have

with much enterprise anr industry laid

White Girls from New York.-The New
York Sun contains the particulars Of a
most painful rumor in relation to the kid
mapping Of some fifteen or twenty youne
white women from that city, and of their
captivity among the native chiefs of The
slave coast of Africa. The Sun says
'.For The lasI two or three years, sever
al vessels have left This port whose ap.
prnrance was any Thing hut mercantile,
and general rumnr called them piraIes-
some came nearer the truth. and rightly
called them slavcrs II is said that one OF
these vessels assumed the character Of Il
passenger packet, bound to New Orleans
and Havana, aud the captain by the aid
of Il pcrson we'll known in this city, went
TO the Points, aud also 10 the other infected
districts of our city, aud addressing Them
selves 10 the best looking girls. rendered
them free passage. and even went so far
as to give them new dresses, trinkcts, DC.
The poor girls were taken on board in The
stream in detachnrnts, and every thing
was given to them to render their position
comfortable. and committed to the care of
matron, who assumed The character of
the captains wife. Thus frcio|rted, The
vessel left our waters and reached Havana
in few DAYS. There the unsusprcIins
girls were informed that they coull not
then land, because the aulhnriiies OF the is
land had ordered lhc vessel TO he quarran-
tined At Manlanzas. 10 few days she
sailed apparently bound 10 Mantanzas,
but in truth her sails were spread for the
coast nl Africa on Il shaving expedition.
The IpugtIl Of The voyage created some
unrasincsS. which however, wns Tuieied
by the good usiagc AM! continued lrulics
of The whole party. On their reaching
the coast, preparations having been made
for their arrival, thrv were sent IN shore.
and. as the painful rumnr says, they were
exchanged by these ahlucrors, with the
chiefs for slaves, aud one young white
woman was exchanged for 81 prime ne
srocs. The whole party was thus Instant
ly sent inro the interior of Africa ns The
slaves of the chiefs. perhaps never 10 hear
from their own land again. This account
is said to have reached This city hy the
capture nr one Of the war parties. in which
Two of the white girls who were owned
by one of the chiefs. and who gave Il let
ter TO he sent to the coast, marralng the
manner of their abduction and captivity.
We trust that This letter may turn out
fabrication, because We would hope that
the accurScd love of gold has NOT driven
any of our sailors to such an Infamous
nnI daboIical traffic as that Of poor nninr-
,unulr woman. Atr!lc time these vessels
we're leaving, Il rllmnur Of the kind was
allnat. hut it was Thought rather Idle. and
wc sincerely trust iI'al this whnlr nlatIcr
may he unly one Of Aladam Rnnlor's
brood.
