LATER FROM MONROVIA.-By The ar
rival of the baique Chatham, from Monrovia, al
New York, the Tribune has files OF The African
Luminary for April May and June.
Governor Russwurm, in company with an In
lerpreter and assistants, left Cape Palmas on or
abou, the 18th OF February Tor The leeward, and
returned ON the Both. The object of The expedi
ton was TO purchase tract OF country from Inc
natives, and form treaties of alliance. Salisfac-
tory arrangements were made with all The towns
on the coast between the country heretofore pur-
chased below Cape Palmas by The Maryland
Colonization Society and Tahhoo, which is dis
tanl about sixty miles They me- WIN KIND
treatment everywhere and returned highly graft
fed with The success of their enterprise
The Catholic Missionary Establishment, Al
Cape Palmas, has been purchased BY Society
formed in France, 10 propagate the GosPe! in
Africa. A French War Frigale had arrived
with Priest
James Brown commissioner OF Monrovia has
succeeded well in purchasing new territory. He
has purchased upwards OF thirty-hrc or forty
miles Of the coast, commencing from Little Cess,
Kroo Country. This, says the Luminary, has
long been 4 dssideratum t,ni crerg Liberian. MIR.
Browns purchase will nclude different points OF
the coast. A number Of these points have been,
and are YET, invaluable palm oil marts.
Another accession was made TO The Colony by
the arrival OF sixty-three Immigrants in The bark
Ro,hschd. They sailed from New Orleans ia
nuary 25th, and arrived here on Sunday, March
18th, all well.
On the 30ih, the first cutter Of The United States
ship Marion, with seventeen men on board, on
attempting 10 cross the Measurable bar upset
Midshipman J. P Bartlett, and seamen Johnson
were drowned. The rest were saved from
waery grave bY the quick movements ofthe boats
from the ship. Some Of The men had been quite
i'll since their salt water bathing. Capt. Cooper,
pilot 10 The squadron on The coast, barely escaped
being drowned.
The season has been exceedingly dry, and the
heat almost insuferable.
The Luminary OF June 10Th, says; Never
have we known supplies TO have been more oP-
portunely received by any community than were
those brouch, BY the barque Chatham, which ar
rived al this port, after passage OF 50 days rom
New York, on the 9Th inst The hungry time
had Sc, in, and many OF the people were anlicipa'
ling ac,ual want and suffering.
"It is supposed that about 300 oil the Congoes
from the Pons, have taken 10 the 'bnsh,' unwii.
ling 10 submit TO restraints of civilization. These
have committed sad depredaions, and have thus
increased the distress"
The Missionaries give in the Luminary very
favorable accounts Of their labors.

SOUND SENSE.

The Rochester en- W Advertiser presents the
following view, which is full OF good sense anu
true patriotism. Will NOT the manufacturers
learn lesson of prudence Will they continue
their fac,ious cry OF "Repeal," sacrificing the
peace and welfare OF the nation and greatly in
turing their own in,erests2 The present bill
contains important concessions 10 lhe manu-
facturers. They should be satisfied with the
annie protection il affords them:
awe desire Tariff which shall have The as
sent OF that section OF the Union which pays
mos, and receives least from il. Such is The
case with the Bill now before the Senate. In
conserving 10 it, the South has made every rea-
sonable concession; and we fear that If these
concessions are treated with contempt we shall
have a continuance of an agitation assuming
more and more sectional character, emolt'er-
inc the intercourse of people from different paris
OF The Union, and endangering our national ex-
;stence. We know no, what the defects are in
The Bill now under debate, which can justify the
disregard OF the considerations in favor OF lis
massage

In time of war; when, as The President re-
marks in his veto message, we are compelled 10
raise The means Tor carrying il on BY resortins 10
loans or issuing treasury notes, il seems singu-
arly inopponunc 10 assume deb! OF fire mil
lions on French claims, which have been pending
for forty years, and appropriate so much Of the
public lands as will meetlhat amount. II neces-
sary interfcres with The government in eking
out its own revenue BY the sale OF its public
lands. II is calculated 10 raise up competition
not only in the sale Of liz own lands, bu. in The
lands owned by the individual citizens Of the
West.
Equally on, OF season, we humbly think, was
the bill which passed the Senate to-day to return
several millions Of dollars (some estimate il at
six) which had been levied since 1912 on the inn
porlarion of railroad iron; but i. was al once
rested in the House, and laid on the table. II

that they could cure diseases, and cure ma

The Toronto Patriot insists very strong
y upon the necessity of opposing the
American claim to Oregon, not 81 much
from the value of the territory Itself, as
because the claim forms a part Of dan
gerous and extended aggrandizement." -
The Patriot adds The first object Is
Oregon, the second is California, and the
ultimate design is to obtain command o.
the Chinese and Indian Oceans. We're
the United States 10 include within her l.
mits the whole of California, and all the
coast northward of the Russian posses
sions. she would, by the excellent harbors
and abundant materials of ship building
thus secured, become dangerous eRemu
TO The British flag IN the east. Were she
in addition to square her Texan frontier
10 the Pacific, and obtain as must follow the
protectorate or possession Of Mexico, some
future President may take example from
Constantine, and remove the Capitol from
Washington to the Bay of Sen Francisco,
for there would be the centre Of his power,
and our Indian Empire would be tenable
only by the most intense exertions.n
