The Case Of Thrasher.

to the President of the United States, will be
read with deep interest. 1t places in their
rannical transaction.-Unless our authorities
have hearts of stone, and faces de, d to shame
they will not resist this simple appeal, not for
mercy, but for justice.
The people of New Orleans, we are glad TO
see, are moving in the matter One general feel.
ing OF indignation appears TO pervade the entire
city. large meeting was to be held at the
Banks Arcade, Wednesday night, and we expect
demonstration of public sentiment worthy of
the occasion.
From Havana we learn, by n letter TO the Pic

permit the service of plate forwarded from New
Orleans, fer presentation to w Sidney Smith.

tpken on 10 New York, by the steamer Empire
City. a deep rooted hatred exists with the
Spanish inhabitants, against all, who minstered
to the comfort Of the Lopez prisoners.
A letter from Mr.. Thrasher to Consul Owen,
dated November 18th, one week before the con.
vcton, is published in the papers 1t recites
the facts of his residence in the island, declares
that be never had taken out letters of natural

as n citizen for treason; and calls upon Mr.
Owen to intercede in his behalf, to protest
against his trial for treason and to secure TO him
a fair trial according to law and treaty.

facts and need not be republished here.

The IMPoRIATIoK OF SLAvEs.--The Augusta
Chronicle proposes the repeal of the acts Of the
last legislature removing the restrictions upon
the importation OF slaves.
We are strongly inclined to second the mo.
tion principally for this reason; that by prevent
ing the ingress, into the cotton region, Of slaves
from Maryland, Virginia, Missouri and Ken
lucky, we shall postpone indefinitely, what now
seems rapidly approaching, hs abolition of siapery
in those States We must compel them to re.
main, for all coming time, united in a common
cause with US, by oailing up their slaves within
their own limits, or at least by furnishing them
no outlet in this direction
Slavery would still exist in New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, and perhaps New England,
butfor the opportunity which the South afforded
to masters in those States, (whose consciences
became tender as slavery became unproftable,)
of realizing handsome sums by sending their
negroes to better markets.
We do not say that the inhabitants Of the
more Northerly slave States are yet ready to
get rid of slavery; what we say is that the
States further South should prevent them from
erer getting ready, by making it impossible for
them to throw of their slaves upon u.s. 1t will
depend no little upon our course in reference to
this matter, whether we retain them as allies, or
convert tnetu INTO enemies. w nile tney nave
slavery, with no power to free themselves from
it, self defence, Yes, their very existence as civil
lied communities, will force them to make CON-
mon cause with u.s. in defence of an institution
whose preservation is necessary to their, as well
rs to our well-being. On the other hand, allow
them to get rid of it, as it becomes less profta-
bic, by the old process of sending their slaves
Southwark, and they become like those further
North, our foes The strength of our opponents
is already sufficiently great; surely we should
not, by our folly, make it more overwhelming
And the earlier the States above mentioned are
informed that they, no more than those South
of them, can erer escape from slavery, the better
for them and us. When convinced of this, they
will the more readily take concerted action with
their saveholding sister States for the protection
of an institution, the destruction of which will
seal the doom of every community in which il
exists They now show themselves quite too
willing to concede to Northern demands, believ.
ing that when the epil day comes, it will come
for others, not themselves. Let us convince
them that for veal or for wo, for the present and
the future, now and forever, our lot must be
theirs, and our doom their fate.
This can only be done bv compelling them
to keep their slaves within their own limits

STEAMBOAT ExPLosIoS.---By the arrival of til,
steamship Louisiana, Capt Lawless, we have al
extra Of the Galveston Neps, of December 7th
giving an account of fatal steamboat explosion
as follows:
The small steamer, Nick Hill, Just built in thi,
place, started on her first trip TO Double Bayou
last evening, about A o'clock She moved of
very handsomely, under light head of steam
every part Of her machinery working well, and
appearing to be in perfect order
AT o'clock, P. NJ, when she was about two
miles the other side of Red Fish Bar, her boiler
exploded, carrying away large part of the
boiler-deck, and instantly killing two men and a
negro. The following We're the persons killed
DR.. A. Is. Wildman, recently engaged in bust
ness in this city with L. w. Dake; Robert Shaw
and negro named Roderick, belonging to Henry
b. Andrews, esq. DIR. Widman has left several
orphan children to mourn their severe bereave-
ment, having lost their mother but few months
since; and Mr.. Shaw has left widow and n
mother who were chiefly dependent on him for
their support. The cause of this unfortunate
explosion is utterly unknown. But minute or
two before the accident, the steam was examined
and found to be even less than it had been be-
fore. No serious injury was received by any of
the balance on board, though some men were
thrown down and bruised by the fragments of
the boiler, and by the bricks of the furnace but
none OF them were scalded Nothing Whatever
has been seen of the persons killed, who were
OF course thrown into the bay.
Only n few fragments of the boiler were found
on board. A pretty heavy piece of it was found
lying on the top of the boiler deck which was
left. The bull of the boat is entirely unnured.
After the accident an anchor was thrown
over, and the survivors on board remained there
till about o'clock this morning, when the
steamer Farmer came along from Houston, and
took offsome of them. The following are the
persons who left here on the Hill: J. Smith, cap.
tain; Henry Aiding, mate; JAS Ferguson, list
engineer; Mr, Collins, I'd engineer S. Graves,
DR.. A. b. Wildman, child and sister in-law /;
Mrs. Montgomery; Rober. Shaw; Mr.. C. Dell (;
Roderick, negro belonging to H b. Andrews,
and David, negro belonging TO Dr. WIN. r..
Smith William -, a deck hand
Judge Buckley, in his charge to the grand iu-
ry, in Fort Bend county, narrated the following
Incidents
He said he had known two cases in which
persons had been tried before him for the crime
OF murder. In the first instance, four of the
Jurors who were to judge of the guilt or inno-
cence OF the party accused, were murderers
themselves; and in two weeks after he tried the
second, and for the same crime, in an adjoining
county, where three out Of the twelve Jurors
were guilty Of the same crime-murder.
Thus seven men out of the twenty four, who
were called upon to administer justice to two of
their fellow men, we're guilty of the same Of
fence with the parties accused

| ACTION OF WATER ON LEAD PIPEs.-Th
attention of medical men is requested to the fol
| lowing circulation Of one of the committees ap
| pointed at the last meeting of the American
Medical Association
| To The Members Of The Medical Profession in III
United States;
| The undersigned, committee of the Ameri
can Medical Association to report on . the actor
OF water on lead pipes, and the diseases which
proceed from it," are DESTROYS of obtaining
from these professional brethren any information
that is calculated to throw light on this import
ant, but hitherto general unobserved subject
They therefore take the liberty of proposing the
following questions:
!. Have you, in your practice, met with
cases of lead or painters collie produced by
using water drawn through lead pipes, or con-
tanned in leaden cisterns!
2. Have you met with cases of arthralpy
If 80, have they been attributed to this cause.
3D. Have painful neugralic diseases been OBJ.
served by you, among persons using watt err thus
exposed to lead
4th. Have you seen instances of lead enepha-
lopathy
9th. Have you observed paralysis as a pre-.
cursor, concomitant or sequel TO either of the
above forms Of disease?
Answers 10 any or all the foregoing ques-
tons, and any facts or information as to any
form of disease originating in the use of water
impregnated with lead, will be very gratefully
received. Accurate descriptions of all cases
would be very desirable, especially their early
history. 1t will also be very important TO
know The length of time each individual case
had been exposed to lead before the disease
became manifest
As the report must be made at the annual
meeting of the association to be held in Rich.
mond, Virginia, in May next, il is desirable that
all information should be forwarded to any one
of the committee previous to the first of March
next.
