SLAVE PRoPERrY.-We observe that it is going
the rounds of the newspapers, that there are fifteen
hundred millions of dollars worth Of slave property
in the fifteen slave States Of this Union. This we
40 NOT believe allowing three millions OF slaves,
this estimate would be FIVE hundred dollars head
for old men, old women and children, lame, matt,
hind &C. as well the young and middle aged
men and women This estimate is too high. Two or
three hundred each at most, would be nearer the
yelue all sorts. sizes &c. considered, which would
make the market value from six to S9O0,OO0,OOO
only. but the real value is less than nothing; the
slsyebolders are eaten up by them they must keep

Winter and Summer whether they nave work ior
them or not: indeed in most cases 1t would be lar
cheaper TO hire their labor. And again, not only

SUNDAY TRAvELISG.-We understand that nu-
merous applications have been made to the Direct
ors of theNew-Jersey Railroad Co. to run Sunday
,oornine train between New-YOrk and Halfway, at
an eary hour so early not TO interfere with reg
Mar church services. 1t is stated that 1t VIII be

oloyed in York City, who are not aoie 70 WISH
wbo have been in the habit of attending church
Nth their friends and relatives. 1t is alleged that
the resort TO steamboats, omnlbuses, hacks and
other vehicles, by persons visiting various places
on the line Of the. Railroad, has been 90 general
and so annoying on the highways and in our towns
and villages, that Railroad train is deemed by
many the least dissertation Of the Sabbath. Inc

COPPER MINES ON LAKE SUPERI0R.-The Mon

Saut state that the difficulty between the Indians
and the Quebec Mining Company have been set,

From F1oRIpA.-By the arrival yesterday OF
the n 8 schooner Col. Cross, Capt Knox, from
Temna Bay. we are informed that the Indians
are Coming In at Charlotte Harbor in so friendly a
manner as to induce the belief that they would
speedily remove from the country. On the oath
mat Capt Knox saw a steamer to the northward,
steering east, which he supposed to be the U. s.
steamer Fashion, 100 miles west OF Z gmont Island.
The Col Cross left at Tampa schooners Hornet and
Sarah Matilda; the former being aground in the
channel near Fort Brooke. The U. 5. steamer
Planter left for Charlotte Harbor on the 22d. Capt.
Casey, U. s. A. had previously gone TO that point
in the U. S. steamer COL Clay Gen. Twiggs was
at Fort Brooke and fast recovering the use OF his
arm N. o. Plcayune, 30th ut.
THE CRoPs-Tbe latest accounts, says the
Saydanah Republican, from Louisiana, Alabama,
Mississippi and Tennessee, confirm the dlscourag.
ing statements already made relative to the cotton
crop We have the statements rom almost all the
counties in Mississippi. The estimates vary from
one third to two.thirds Of a crop. From Caddo
Parish, from Shreveport, and numerous other parts
of Louisiana, the accounts are but little more en-
cOuraeing. The Tuscaloosa Observer OF the 9th
ult, and other Alabama papers, give but meager
showing of the prospect IN Alabama. In North
Mississippi and the Western district Of Tennessee
continued rains and cool weather have made the
rop more backward than was ever before observed
since the first settlement Of the country. The very
recent cool weather in the South is not calculated
to alay the general apprehension of short crop
RoBBise PETER TO PAY PAUL On Saturday
last At Norfolk, Va. young man Of scholastic ap.
,Peafance, and evidently unpracticed in crime,
named James Nj. Conner, plead guilty Of obtaining
$50 from Mr. Peter 4. Schilecser on n simulated
letter OF cresit, purporting to be from Messrs e. d.
Peters 4 Co. Of Boston. The Jury sentenced hun
to ten months Imprisonment in the City jail and b
pay fine of one cent. A remarkable Circumstance
attending this case is, that the prisoner appropri
ated a large portion Of the funds thus fraduentl,
obtained TO the payment Of his honest debts abou
town repaid loan of $50, thus literally robin,
Peter TO pay Paul, , and actually loaned Mr. Schl
eeher (who beginning to"smell rat" urged hi
