I'VE rather think that these Southern
Rights politicians are getting too trans
cendendal for practical. common sense
men. South Carolina is no touch to them
in getting up alarming theories. "A re.
dundant black population. We know of
no one who considers himself cursed with
too many of the black population"
..U.. Wing.
It's your own fault, if you don't know it.
If you read the papers, you know that the
States of Ohio, Massachusetts, Pennsylva-
mia, New York, and in fact nearly all the
northern States, have provided laws pre-.
venting the emigration of "blacks." A
few years ago, the negroes of John Ran
dolih, of Roanoake, settled in Ohio, and
they were driven out. The people feared
the pynceden: would be the means of Great
ing a redundant back population" We
hardly deem it necessary to say to the
Wing, that all blacks are not iayes. AL
though it may be that there is no planter
in the county who has more siaUes than he
vents, yet We presume that there is not one
who would be willing to permit all the free
, negroes about Woodville to quarter upon
him. If we mistake not, the Legislature
of Mississippi has seen fit to provide against
a redundant black population, by ~enacting
laws preventing free negroes from other
States from coming here. If the Wing
will take the trouble to examine lis nc
%tionary, it will find that redundant means,
"Superfuous; exceeding what is natural
or necessary" And if it will sit down and
calmly reflect for q few moments. it may
become convinced, by an arithmetical
calculation, that there might be such q
thing, in the course of time. as a redundant
black population in the district which the
North has assigned for slavery.

The following is an extract Of private letter,
dated Gibraltar November 30, ! 30 p. M, giving
a full account Of these warlike operations
"By an arrival from Tangier yesterday we
learn that her Majesty's steamer Janus, Com
Inander Powell, had put in there az noon OF the
preceding day, from Sallec, having on board Mr..
Elton, the British vie consular agent of Rabai;
and that shortly after the news spread about the
town that the French squadron, under the COM
lnand OF Rear Admiral Dubourdieu, had made its
appearances of Sallee The Admiral, il added,
had Immediately sent despatch to the Governor
oil Rabat, (but short DISTANCE from the las named
port,) demanding the sum OF 3 800 for the plum
der OF the French merchant vessel which had
been wrecked there time before, together
with the amount Of the expenses incurred by
fitting out the ships for the purpose of
curing this satisfaction. he gave the Governor
two hours for the consideration Of his demands, and
threatened that, If not complied with in that space
OF time, he would lombard the place. To this COM
muncation the Governor replied that he could not
take upon himself to como to decision on such an
important affair, but must forward the Admiral's
despatch to his master, the Emperor Abderrhaman,
then at Fee, and wait for his commands, which he
had chance of receiving before the expiration OF
at least ten days. This not being deemed satisfac-
tory by the Admiral, he gave orders to prepare for
action and, five hours utter the sending Of bis
munication, the tide being high, and consequently
favorable, the vessels, under steam, began 20 bonn
bard both Sallee and Rabat at the time, and
continued for eight hours to pour shot and shell
upon them, until they had nearly RACED Sallee and
considerably damaged Rabat. The Moore, in the
meantime, did their best in returning the fire from
the castle of the latter place, and from pieces
ofordnance which they had at the former, by which,
as reported in Tanger, killed seven on
board the liner; the number of wounded, if any,
not stated The squadron afterwards left thoae
waters for the purpose of reftting; Cadiz sup
posed its destination.
an Bore, the French Consul General for Tan
gier, is on board, and M. Schmidt il acting in his
place. Great condemnation prevails in the latter

1.-The Janus started again, four hours after her
arrival, on her return to Rabat. Mr.. Elton had
embarked in her; and ii understood that Com
mander Powell would subsequently push on, along
the coast, as far as Mogadore.
at continued to be reported that Commodore
Martin would visit the coast Of Morocco; but no had
not been there the date ofthe latest accounts

New ORLEANS, December 23.-We have later
advices from the Rio Grande. Brownsville papers
of the Sd instant state that General Carvaial had
attacked the Mexican General Jaurequi who had
fortified himself strongly at Ceralvo. and after
hard fighting for two days succeeded in taking
nearly the whole town, and driving the Mexicans
into their fortified houses, where they are com.
pletely pcnned up. The Mexicans lost all their
provisions and ammunition Carvaja had ten
killed, including Lieutenant Graham and Captain
Chinei, ESQ written by the telegraph also Captain
Wheat severely wounded. The Mexican loss was
very severe, and included nearly all the Seminole
Indians and their leader.
At the latest dates from Carvsjal. he was about
to attack the Mexicans in their last position, and,
if successful, will probably enter Monterey with
out opposition.

this to be their professed doctrine, the thought
CURED TO me some months ago, "What will they
do when the time arrives for nominating candi-
dates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency !,
Nm they hold contention al the South, aud noni-
nate southern man for southern PresidenR'
was not the only one to whom these thoughts
occurred. The matter was discussed among the
Union men, and the conclusion was that they
would carry out their professions But since the
Geor gia Legislature has been in session, we have
been somewhat enlightened as to what they intend
to do. Mr.. Seward Of Thomas, Southern Rights
Wing offered come resolutions, which / consider
unnecessary 20 repeat. Suffice il to say, that the
import Of the resolutions that the Georgia
Legislature ought to appoint delegates to meet
other delegates of the northern Democrat tic party
at Baltimore, or other convenient place, for
the purpose of nominating candidate for The
Presidency. should suppose from the above that
they do not consider the northern Democratic
party as belonging 20 the North, as they have
ncatedly declared that they will have no dealings
ioiih the North. But why have they proposed a
coalition with northern Democrats? Is it because
the voices of northern Democrats have been heard
crying, eye men of the South, ye sons of oppres-
sion! your rights have been assaied; the Compro-
mise neasuresare oppressive to you-they degrade
you; you are placed upon inequality with north
crn men. but zoe will lend helping hand and
sist you in repeating those ofensipe msasmss?" Or
ia it because they have of late discovered that
northern men have rights as well as southern men?
My own opinion of the matter is, that they have
found out 'thc secret" that there are too many
Union-loving men, both at the North and at the
South, 10 permit the Union to be dissolved, because
few fanatics want it dissolved; and having found
out this much they are determined to get back
