On the return of Mr.. CLAY from "A visit to the

The .iibany frgus assumes TO say that this
journal warns the South against the omnibus
because, it AYERS, its practical effect is the
same as the Wilmot proviso. This is vir-
tual concession that the practical effect of the
Presidents plan is the reverse of the compro-
mise and the antagonis.ic Of provsoisn.''
We do not choose to be made responsible for
what we never said nor shall the utterer of
forgery go unexposed when our name is at
tached TO the counterfeit utterance We quoted
the language OF Mr.. Cay and OF General CAss
ia proof Of their o,rn belief that the practical
effect of the compromise would be the same as
that OF the Wilmot provso in relation to the
Territories. Those distinguished gentlemen
are no doubt able To bear the burden OF their
own opinions; we quoted them as persons
speaking with authority, and gave their ex-
pressed opinions for what they might be worth.
We did not endorse them.
The virtual concession" which the .argus
infers, is in keeping with the alleged averment;
the falsity of the one is in harmony with the
calumny Of the other Both are alike I'M
founded, and both bear the same aspect of pre-
meditated purpose. Let the .4tgus attend to
It's own affairs at home--to reconcile Hunkers
and Barnburners or 10 nfiame their discords, as
it may think best. Its want of accurate know
ledge In other matters, concerning which it
does not choose to inform itself, might be plea
for silence, but not for false statements and un-
just imputations.

The SLAYER NoRFoLK-We have noticed the
arrival at Norfolk of the brig Excellent, which
captured of Africa, charged with being SLAYER.
The case was investigated before William T. Hen
dren, ESQ.,, United States commissioner, on We'd
nesday evening. The Norfolk Beacon gives the
following report of the evidence:
General Gansevoort testified that she was cap
tured the - day Of April last, in the port of Am
breeze, west coast of Africa by the United States
sloop-of war John Adams, Comma nder Powell.
She was boarded by Com. p. in person, and found
to have on board large quantity Of water, jerked
beef, farina, rice, bread, flour, tobacco pipes and
stems, wooden spoons and water pipes, and was
also supplied with slave deck. This being deemed
a sufficient ground for suspicion that she was en-
gagged in the slave trade, she accordingly cap
turcd and sent home as prize. The captain and
committed TO stand their trial before the
United States district court, which meets in this
city in November next.
The following statement has been furnished us
by the captain of the brig. He sailed from New
York, during the past year, as passenger on board
a ship bound for California. While at Rio Janciro,
owing TO difficulty between him and the captain
he abandoned the trip. While waiting at Rio for a
passage home, an American house offered to en-.
ploy him to take the Excellent TO Ambreeze where
a Portuguese supercargo TO sell her to n Bra
lillian house He accepted the offer, and after the
cargo was put on board, and the vessel ready for
sea, took charge and proceeded TO that port. When
the supercargo landed for the purpose Of selling the
vcssel--as he informed by the mate himself,
not understanding the Portuguese language, and
the supcrcargo could not speak English-and while
waiting for him TO return, he was captured He
has letters from Capt. Powell. which he says will
show that he had ample time TO have made his cs-
cape, if he had been so disposed.
The mutineers brought homo in the ST. Mary's,
Christopher Sanderson, Owen Cunningham, Thos.
McCluskey, Charles Brown, and John Van Brunt,
were examined yesterday before the commissioner
ON charge Of having burned the ship Massachu-
sets, Of New Bedford, at Marian Island. Owen
Cunningham discharged; the others were
rcmandcd for further examination on Tuesday
next.

The CUBAS ExPEpITIoN.-The witnesses in the
Lopez case, at New Orleans, have at last opened
their mouths, and TO some purpose. On the fourth
day, Francois Garcia, keeper Of the State Arsenal;
his brother, A. Garcia, and j. Moran, employed in
the Arsenal and Jacob soria, father law Of Gen
eral Rowley, Adjutant General of the State were
examined as witnesses. All these persons testify
that during the months Of April and May, 900 guns,
so pistols, and 100 or lao sabrcs were delivered on
the order OF General Rowley, from the Arsenal.
The order directed them 10 be given 10 persons who
would call for them, but their purpose or destna
ton not named. Mr.. Soria superintendent the
delivery, and handed them over 20 n colorcd ina N
who took them away in drays.
The superstition is that these arms were intended
for the Cuba invaders which places the State In an
embarrassing position. General Rowley will have
TO answer very clearly and distinctly as 10 his &C

perhaps dissolation-from further procrastination
and continued excitement"
II was not from California only, but from all
the residue of the territory, west Of the Rio
Grande, we believe, that Messrs CAss, II. j..
WALKER, and BUCHANAN, contended that sa-
very would be forever excluded by the nature Of
the soil and climate, and the character, habits,
and opinions of the resident population And
OF this opinion seems TO have been the editor Of
the Union himself, as will appear from the fol-
lowing extract:
From The Union Of December 23d, 1913
"Tbe North wishes TO see no more slaves To the
west of Texas. Is she not in this INDUCING in an
abstract speculation. Will any slaves be carried
: there? The President justly says" Here fol.
lows the extract from President PoLK's message
published in the Republic of yesterday, in which he
says he question s believed to be rather abstract
= than practical" Sci
What the editor of the Union believed when
the foregoing paragraph was written, he UNI
doubtedly believes now What he considered
an abstraction then, he most unqueslonably
considers an abstraction now. And believing,
in his heart, that slavery cannot be successfully
introduced into New Mexico, that the climate
and soil forbid it, he u.s. nevertheless, sedulousy
engaged in attempting TO hunlbug the South
into the belief that the Compromise will leave
Mexico open to the introduction Of slaves
while, if it be rejected ''the South will scarcely
have an inch of land to expect"

The residence OF the Hon. Humphrey Marshall

stroyed by fire ON the 18th inst. The building was
hired about midnight, when the inmates we're

Messrs. Leonard Scott Co., of New York have
commenced the publication of this work in series

of husbandry now in by the best farmers, the
best methods of ploughing, planting, haying, har-
vesting, &c, &C., and the various domestic ami
mails in their highest perfection.
We have examined the first number, containing
sixty four pages, and are satisfied that super
structure reared on such basis this affords must
be highly creditable to its authors and eminently
useful to the ters of the soil in every cline The
whole subject, or range Of subjects is well con-
ceived, and the principles Of the collateral sciences
are concfsely introduced and judiciously applied.
