WEDNESDAY, ::: MARCH i3. 1850.

The RAFT.-A joint resolution has
passed the Legislature of Texas and been
approved by the Governor, 'consenting
and agreeing that the State of Louisiana
should enact some law having for its OBJ
.ject the permanent removal of the OBJ.
structions to the navigation of Red River
'occasioned by the raft, by Incorporating
a company for that purpose, and allowing
the privilege of levying toll on all articles
of commerce and freight passing through
after the distractions shall have been
removed, for such time as may be
deemed sufficient TO remunerate such
company. The amount to be charged,
however, is not to exceed ten cents per
l,ale on cotton, and five cents per barrel
by measurement for other fire: :ght, and the
term of time not 10 exceed fifteen years.
If the people of Red River valley will
composedly await the action of the Lou
isiana Legislature to incorporate com.
pany to remove the raft, they are more
patient than we have given them credit
for, particularly at this time when they
have every assurance that the work will
be undertaken by the Government, and
appropriations made during the present
session Of Congress, if they will but get
up and forward petitions setting forth
the nature of their grievances, the amount
of commerce affected by the obstruction,
and the probable amount OF an appropria-
,ion required 10 remedy the evil. Our
Representative has requested that such
petitions, numerously signed, should be
forwarded him without delay, and he had
no doubt an appropriation would be made.
If we are really desircus that the raft
should be removed, why is it that petit
tions are not already in circulation? 1t
appears that as the prospects of obtaining
an appropriation increase, the efforts OF
the people decrease. The time for ac-
ton, if we desire to obtain an appropria-
ton during the present session of Con-
gress, is short; we should therefore go to
work with a will and energy that should
not faulter until the object is accom-
plished.

ARREST OF THE REFORMED GAMBLER

ARREST OF THE REFORMED GAMBLER
j. H. Green, the reformed gambler, has
been arrested at Albany. and brought OH
to New York and committed to await
further hearing, on the charge of obtain
ing in 1S46. goods and money to the value
of $49e; under falss pretences. from s.
w. Soaulding. The Mirror. says:
Green became acquainted with Spauld-
ing. and represented that he bad been
appointed a secret United States Mar
shall. employed of the government for the
PURPOSE Of detecting counterteiters III the
manufacture of bank bills and coin, and
showed a document as his credential.
under which he acted. He offered to
make the other one of his deputies, and
he believing the story, consented; he was
to be paid $50 per month. 1t was during
this period that the goods and money were
obtained. Spauding. after lime. sus-
pected that all was not right, aud wrye
to Mr.. Gillett, Solicitor to the Secreta-
ry Department. to know if what Green
represented was true; and was Informed
that he had previously represented that
he could be very serviceable to the gov
ernment in the detection of couuterfeiters
of coin, and had been recommended to
the different United States District Attor-
neys. for the detection of guilty parties;
but it was soon discovered that he was
humbugging the government; that what
he had represented was false. and he was
therefore dismissed. On his arrest the
officer took from his person bad bill for
$500 on the Philadelphia Bank $50 on
the Northern Bank of Kentucky, likewise
two cancelled $500 Treasury notes.

SENsIBLE.-A correspondent Of the N.
Y. Express, writing from Georgia OH the
subject OF negro slavery. expresses the
following sensible ideas:
The moral condition of the negro, l
should think, was at quite as high STAN
dard here as at the North. and his physi-
cal condition is much better. BY coer-
clou here. the results of his labor are enor-
nous; without it, it would be nothing.
The negro in the main is afectionate To
his master, but without master he is
without affection. His scale of morality
is slow here, and SC it is at the North. l
have seen as intelligent negroes here as l
ever seen there, but have never seen the
negro half so degraded here as l have
seen him there. AS ] before said, my
education is. and so are my sympathies.
in favor OF the negro; but the question is.
how is his coudition to be bettered! !
do not believe that freedom can better il.
The negro cannot compete with the
white; his person is offensive. and there
fore he cannot be companion TO him.
am of the opinion that. should the
Northern negroes he put in the entire
possession of far off county, that they
would recede back TO their native savage
state.
The agitation of the North is productive
of much injury to the cause of freedom.
Until lately, statute of this State pre-
vented slaves from being brought into this
State; within a few months past, this
statute has been repealed. The Aboli-
tinnists are the means OF IT, 81 much for
the great question that is distractlng the
country.

BALTIMORE. Tuesday, Feb. 26.-A
committee of Southern members of Con-
gress has just had an interview with the
President, on the subject Of the Terrific
'ries, which has occasioned so much agi-
tation at Washington. Gen. Taylor told

cry Southern port; that he would call for
volunteers from the Northern and Wes-
tern States; and finally that he would
pour out his blood. if necessary. The
President added, that he believed the
people ofthe Southern States would them
selves pat down the disunionists. When
told by the committee that the Southern
members would return home. he replied:
"Let them go; there will he enough good
men to take their places" President
Taylor also made speech at Richmond,
Va, on Friday. the 22d. wherein he de-
clared that he would maintain the con-
stitution of the Union under all circum-
stances and to the last extremity.

1,h. noouday sun has set, and still she stands

Ea1ing aslaht along the gmm ring lane,
Her prgrt lip breathing on the cl0uded pane;
The evening shadows darken rOund-and-see!
With misty lantern twinklng through the tree,
The ponderous wagon rolls its weight along.
Cheered by rude gladness of rustic song,
High in the air the swinging canvas flows,
BRUSHING the twilight foliage as it goes
Now deep ming fast as on attentive ear,
Up the green path shadowy step draws near;
And winds HE now beneath those branches dina
No; other coitage-faces look for him;
And other oottAEelears his steps await;
bark down y0n field rebounds his garden gate.
Sadly she shuts again the parlur door,
And through the parted shutter, on the floor,
The pallid rays of autumn moonlight fall,
And the quick ire-light fickers on the wall.
Now pensive, in the chair, she thinks awhile
Der the fond parting sweetness of his smile;
Now TO the window goes, and now returns /;
And now hope dies away, and now il burns.
In vain with book she soothes the hour of grief,
Startled by every rustic of the leaf
Oloyons sound-her fearful vigil past
Fhe fhreshold echoes now-he comes at last!
