Taken up Oh Suspicion.

We learn that on Sunday afternoon last, a man
accompanied by negro girl came on board the
cars going north at Dudley depot. Something ex-
cited suspicion. which was confirmed by his giving
his name Bell, to gentleman with whom he wish
ed to negotiate for the sale of the negro, while Dr.
Murphy recognized him as being man whom he
had attended some time since for an injury of some
kind in the leg at which time he went by the name
Of Groves. The identity was also proved by his limp
ing. Under these circumstances he was taken up
suspicion of having kidnapped or stolen the girl
and put off at Rocky Mount in Edgecombe county
There is reason to believe that the girl is owned in
Duplin county. We have heard no further particu
lars, nor have understood what subsequent action
has been taken in the case,
p S-Since the above in type have been inform
ell that the negro girl belongs to DR.. STTH, of Clinton
Sampson county, and that the white has been lodged
in the Jail of Edgecombe county, at Tarboro'.

s!ayeryIu California.
FRIEND.

The following, which we copy from the Charles
ton Courier of the 18th inst, is confrmatory of an
opinion which we have entertained and expressed
all along:
The strong feeling lately exhibited in the mining
districts of California in favor of introducing slave
labor into that portion of our territory on the Pacific,
has, we perceive, had its effect many citizens on
the Atlantic coast who. we'll aware OF the lnnumer
able advantages that would accrue to them were
they permitted to employ that particular description
of property in the gold regions, are daily making
engagements for the transpor alton of themselves and
slaves to that section of possessions, and that fine
steamship, the Isabel has several occasions had
board some passengers with their ants route
for the Pacific On her last trip she took out large
number. amongst whom, as we learn from the " rk
vile Remedy, were twenty young men with many
negroes from Burke and Catawha counties, North
Caroina-some, says the Remedy. hardy looking
fellows. who seemed bent to have their share of the
gold dust if hard work hard knocks can bring it..
The following is list of their names:-R. c. Per-
kns and four servants; Thos. Walker and three do ;
T J. Corpening and one do; w. A. Wallace and one
do. Bartlett Berry and one do; t. Avery and one
do; J. Keller and one do: Patton Pearson and three
servants of R. c. Pearsons; Jackson and William
and two servants: Robert Long. Wilhurn Patton.
Thos. Walker. VIM Dorsey, Henry England. Philo
Kaylor, Michael Keller. Isaac Whiscnhunt, Monroe
Webb Daniel Hicks, JCab Hicks and three servants
of James c. Smyth's.
We understand. likewise, that several other par
ties from North Carolina, are about starting with
their slaves, and that the agent in this City for the
Isabel has several applications for passage and We
have little doubt their abors will be attended with
such success as to induce very large EN- grafton
from the slave holding States during the next year.
as from all accountsthere are there certain seasons
as in the Southern States, when negro labor is alone
available with safety to health in damp and marsby
localities

Ies-Ne have received The American Wing Review
for January. 1852. In glancing over its pages we
find another evidence OF the profound sensation
which the eloquent Hungarian has created in this
country, and the al-pervadng influence of the Kos
suth excitement The leading political article is
headed g The Policy of Non-lnervention," and has
direct and favourable reference the doctrines ad
vacated by Kossuth, and the next longest article is
headed = Kossuth, the Orator and Salesman
This last is laudatory in the very highest degree.
placing him as an orator beside Demosthenes and as
a statesman beside Chatham and Burke, and We must
confess that the extracts taken from the speeches de-
vered at different times go far to convince that
the language Of unqualified admiration is but the
simple impression of an undeniable fact Kossuth is
in many if moi in all respects the greatest orator and
thinker of the age combining he does the warmth
and force of oriental imagery with the direcness
and power of western argument. This greatness of
intellect deny. and but few question the pu
rity of motive and grandeur of soul with which it is
allied. Certainly, the Review-the hghest-toned
periodical of the wing party. does not and cannot
with any regard to its reputation; can it have
failed to see the effect which his speeches are produc
ing.
But while such is the case, there is an Anticipated
clique, headed by the National ntegencer. and CO.
plying arguments from the Ex-Minster to Austria,
who consider it respectable to sheer at the Hunga
rian Chief adventurer and by means
admissible into such good socety,' that through
which their own dizziness permeates. This twaddle
finds its way into all the very small veins of the
peculiarly stick n-the-mud body and animates the
village newspaper in its august contempt of the Ma
gyar leader One Of the most ridiculous exhibitions
of this pseudo-Amerean but really foreign and mon
archical spirit has been made at Washington city.
where, as we learn, the first circles S" under the
dictation of tie foreign Ambassadors have decidedly

Gus atmosphere of "upper-tendom." 1t is exceed
