SLAVE QuEsTros.--A stakeholder from Mis-
sour took one Of his men slaves to California in
the spring Of ls49, and has been engaged in digging
gold there for two years. The slaves labor was
very valuable, SO much so. that the master refused
to take $500 year for his services. BY the last
steamer the Missourian returned to New York
city with plenty Of gold, and with his slave, was
about returning home. The New York CONNER
c'ai says, however. that some person having
learned these facts advised the slave that he was
made free by the laws Of California, and that he
had right to recover wages for the time he
worked for his master in that country. This in
formation induced the coored man to apply to an
attorney to instigste legal proceedings, and suit
has been commenced against the Missourian to
recover the wages claimed to be due. The qnon-
dam slave has also asserted his freedom.

.7g- The Louisville Journal, abiding to the
able articles signed JUNIUs, and addressed to Mr.
CLAY, says: If the writer had addressed the
man in the moon, that worthy would be quite
likely to read them as Nix. CLAY.
We had always suspicion, from the very
moonshine character of the articles of our CO.
temporary, that his upper story was a little af-
fected, when touching upon anything relative to
the South.
We shall, in future, however, look upon the
editor of the Journal as the veritable " man in
the NOON" that worthy, who cannot fail to read
and profit by JUMUs, inasmuch as Mr.. CLAY
will have done so. -
AS for the Journals moonshine about Sc
cession filth" we perceive that his own dull
rays have been perverted as usual, aud that un-
der its influence he attempts to shovel upon us
the secession filth of his " brethren in the
moon," the Abolitionists. We stand up for
State rights, which being threatened, may lead
to secession-a step forced on by the Adolf
tionists, who first demanded it, We must re-
mind the Journal, that all the /" filth is on the
side of wrong and injustice, and that if it would
see the full sunshine of right, it must quit its
wanderings by moopshine, and put itself under
our guidance and protection.

A letter dated Jackaps Kop, May IS, states
that things are in dreadful state in that part Of
the country; the enemy was fast taking pos
session of the district, and carrying everything
before them. They had within the last fort
night taken 1900 cattle, TOO sheep, ITO horses.
and murdered four farmers. The farmers, in
stead of forming themselves into encampments,
were flying ia all directions. The panic had
been so great among the Beers that the CON-
mandants and fied-eornets were not able to get
single boer out, and but for a small number
of troops, the enemy would massacre the
farmers and their poor wives and children by
wholesale. The writer says the war is far from
being at an end the enemy is becoming quite
desperate We shall have to do all the work
over again. A large number of the Gaikas,
rebel Hottentots, and Bushmen, Qwesha'a and
Mappassa's people are in great force in the fast

The accounts from the Buffalo, received bv

conld not be returned, as now it was war.
A letter of the 10th says, last night the enemy
attacked one of Hans Alber's places, took 5000
sheep and 700 head of cattle. The field cornet
went on to the neck with 10 men, retook all
the sheep and cattle, shot Is of the enemy, and
captured IA guns. He is the only man that
still holds out with his men.

In that nation alone, which shall devise the
fairest system for the general prosperity, will be
the most enduring happiness, and the highest
moral and material progress There will be, Of
necessity, the greatest power--there the greatest
moral erfsction--there, the truest religious
system. In those nations alone, where the peo-
pie have been esteemed at something of their
just value, has there been any durable record, or
any real fame.
Republican States stand almost alone in his
tory, as representing human progress. Christian
ity, which was intended to be the practical de-
velopment of moral liberty, has been turned
from its course by the enduring influences of
the old heather habit, and the sturdy obstinacy
and ignorance of the barbarians, who over
whelmed the Roman empire but is now ad-
vancing through political and religious revolu-
tom, to new and unknown developments.
