,G The HuMANITY OF SLAvRRY.-An esteemed
friend from Madison county RELAXED to us, the
other day, an anecdote of an Ohio Abolitionist
who had been staying a short time at neigh
boris house in Madison, and who on seeing the
comfort and contentment enjoyed by the ne
groes-so widely different from their deplora-
vert to the institution of African slavery, as the
very best for the happiness Of the African race
in our country. Doubtless thousands of fanat-
les in the North would soon become honest men
by the same kind of evidence. We learned
also from the same gentleman that slave of
DR.. ID. o. Williams of this county, while travel
ing with his master in Ohio, was detained by
Abolitionists, until his master had gone on his
journey, under the impression that his slave was
kidnapped. The faithful servant, however, re-
jected the seductive offers of the Abolition
ists-one of which was the pastorship Of
colored congregation-and although in desti.
tute circumstances, managed to scrape money
enough together to enable him to follow his
master. He reached Cincinnati, and there it was
his fortune to meet with him. His master
asked him why he had ran away II did moi
run from you massa, you run away from me-"
was the quick rejoinder; and then he recounted
the many trials he had undergone while seeking
to perform faithfully the obligations he owed
him. We should like to have heard the tale in
the simple style of the negro himself. The
North viii learn in any crisis that may cause the
issue, the wonderful devotion and fidelity of our
slaves. Many are the instances where the slave
would rather part with wife and children than
separation from his master or mis-
tress. .'. ~ ~. ,t..,.....

The result Of our local contests IL therefore no.
thing 70 the friends of Southern rights, and can
onlybe interesting to the advocates of submission,
as furnishing them with an apology for rejoicing
In their own degradation. The meetings got up
by the commercial interest in New York, Phila-
delphia and Boston, are not respondedto in the
country towns, or rural districts, and their in
auence does not extend beyond the sphere of those
having an immediate personal interest in concilia-
ting the South. But were their influence ever 80
decisive in the struggles of parties, it would do the
South no good, for it will be observed that they
all, without exception, begin their proceedings
with full approval of all the late measures OF
which the South complains, and simply express
their disapprobation of an immediate renewal of
the agitation of the slavery question. They are
willing TO let the South alone until some new oc-
casion presents itself for the application Of the
"higher law" and the scruple Of conscience. ~,
Such appears to me to be the position Of the
South, and such its future prospects. Whether
they shall be realized, depends in a great measure
on the people of that section. have again and
again endeavored to impress upon them the vital
importance Of united action, in whatever measures
of redress they may adopt. These must be left to
their own decision, and if might venture to make
a suggestion, it would be that the Nashville Con-
vention by all and every means unite, in whatever
measures of redress shall be sanctioned by ma
ority short Of absolute submission. For this pur-
pose, concessions to some extent will probably be
necessary on both sides, and for the sake ofunon,
concessions ought, think, to be mutually made
Let them agree on something, and not evaporate
in idle speech making. We have had enough of
that already, and a. little action is necessary to
convince us here in the North, that wehaye some
thing to apprehend besides resistance at all
hazards and to the last extremity,"-in long ha-
rangues and legislative resolutions.

For Me Sotuhefn fTeSs.
GENTLEMEN: Ii cannot but be gratifying to your
readers, to know that the great project of opening
communication with the Pacific ocean, is about
to be at length effected by the spirited citizens OF
New Orleans. The papers of that place, show
that the most vigorous efforts are making TO or
ganize company to carry this undertaking
through Some of the most distinguished citizens
ofNew Orleans, sucha Messrs. Benjamin Fallon,
Peters and others, have put themselves at the
head of this movement, and are devoting their
energies to the successful accomplishment Of their
wishes.
The South may congratulate itself on the pros
pect now held out to them of realizing all the great
advantages of their position. Nature has indlcat-
ed, in the clearest manner, that New Orleans is
destined to hold the highest place among the COM
merciaI marts of the world In the enjoyment Of
fine climate, and the depository of the vast pro-
ducts of the mighty Mississippi and its tributa-
ries, she only requires safe and certain commu-
ncation with the Pacific, to crown the full great
ness of her destiny. With the various railroads
now established and about to all the river towns
and the Southern Atlantic cities, will participate in
the benefits she will receive.
From some notices of this route, which have
bren published, it appears that between New Or
leans and San Francisco, via the lsthmus OF
Tehuantepec, there will be a saving Of 1926 miles
of sea navigation; and from New York to. San
Francisco by the same route, there will be saw
ing Of 400 miles. This reduction Of the distance
by sea, is a very great advantage. Another one,
equally important, is that by this route, steamers
will not have to leave the Gulf.
1t cannot be doubted that the successful accom-
plishment Of this project will give new impetus
to the energies of the South, and it deserve
hearty good wishes of all, for the success which
its advocates desire VIATOR.

DEFICIENCY In HOGS AND BEEF CATTLE.-Thc
following table, which we find in the Cincinnati
Price Current, does not tell the whole deficiency
of hogs in the west at this time. This deficiency
is shown only from the assessors returns made
last March. The greater deficiency i'm the num-
Der of hogs at this time in the West, and in Ohio
and Kentucky in particular is from the fact that
a much greater number have been driven the
past summer and fall than formerly.
From the unfavorable aspect of the corn crop
in the early summer an unusual number of hogs
were sold at reasonable prices, and driven east.
This was particularly the case in the Sciotu
Valley, and we presume in all parts of Ohio
We saw gentleman, of observation and inteli
gence, few days ago, just from Kentucky, and
ne assured us that from the region of country
beyond Frankfort aud Lexington, to the SoutI.
line OF the State, whence Cincinnati and Louis
vile have been heretofore furnished with so man,
fine droves, scarcely hog will reach them this
fall and winter They We're, from the scarcity
of corn, early driven to a Southern market. Add
this to the deficiency in hogs kept over, and VIC,
have deficiency that must materially affect tn.
market ut present, in favor of sellers, and per
haps more so next spring and summer in favor
