The Two Dollar 6,u,s.

Mr., Cist, in his Advertiser, copies an ar
licle from the Cincinnati Atlas, which states
that the two dollar guns which Kossuth
bought are probably the condemned muskets
recently bought from the Government bv
Geo. Law & Co., and makes the following
remarks:
l take this mode of correcting the above
statement, upon what ! regard good author
ity.
II has been stated TO me that the arms in
question are Herpers Ferry and Springfield
muskets, and in good condition, having
been sold by the U. S. authorities. in ,be

cussion caps for. flints To ihs ranslsat leeI,

auction for s:xty-two and a half cents each
and brought no more, because few men are
willing to risk the investment of so large
sum as twenty-five thousand dollars. unon
an article so unlikely to meet ready resale
as nuskets.
Kossuth is not the man to be imposed on
IN arms, orany thing else. But what shall
be said OF the heartlessness of the seller OF
these arms. in extorting two dollars per
musket. when one dollar piece would have
put $4,000 in his pocket, and saved $40
OOO 10 the cause Of Hugary.
In the war of 1919, these muskets were
considered the best in use. have repeat

slarery bound for california.

Allover the South we notice the depart
ure OF citizens for California, including con-
siderable numbers Of slaves. We have
mentioned the departure of the steamer
Isabel. with 365 passengers all from the
South, and having IS slaves with them.--
We now notice in the papers that colony
OF planters is organizing in South Carolina,
to emigrsle to California with from five to
eight hundred slaves. They have sent a
memorial 10 the California Legislature, ask
ing leave TO settle there with their slaves,
and in going the orerland route they expect
tobe protected by Government force.
How the Legislature Of California can rec
ognize what the Constitution of that State
prohibits, and what The Courts have sustain
cd, is something which this colony may
have satisfactorily Investigated, but it is a
matter not SO clear TO the outsiders. Never
theless, we see tendency in this emigration
Of slavery to an ultimate establishment o I
the "institution" in California, unless the
free sentiment there shall continue hostile
TO the design.

concerning the finding Of vessel at sea, the

suppose that she got away from her anchor
