Africa and the American Flag" by Cap
tain Foote, of the United States Navy, we
quote the following paragraph on the pro-
ductions of the interior of Southern Africa /:
*What may be done in the production of
sugar and coffee no man can tell. James
Macqueen, who has, during great part Of
his life, devoted his attention TO the condition
and interest of Africa. gave evidence before
committee of the British House of Peers
in 1850, to the following effect: There is
scarcely any tropical production known in
the world, which does not come to perfection
in Africa. There are many productions
which are peculiarly her own. The dye.
stufs and dyewoods are superior to any
which are known in any other quarter Of the
world, inasmuch as they resist both acids
and light. things which we know no other
dyes,ufs from any other parts Of the world
can resist. Then there is the article of
sugar, that can be produced in every part
otAfrica 10 an unlimited extent There is
cotton, also, above all things cotton OF a
quality so fine; it is finer cotton than any
description of cotton we know Of in the

the purest and brightest kind, equal in di-

about fifty rods from the depot Of The iii

Argus, the leading Democratic paper OF
New York, one of the strongest advocates OF
the election Of Mr.. Pierce. but now Hard
Democratic paper and one of the severest
opponents of the Administration. is disposed
to blame the President and Cabinet for its
dilatoriness and indecision in negotiating
for Cuba-the chance for obtaining which,
by peaceable acquisition, the Argus now
fears is lost. TheArgus takes occasion TO
give the President and Cabinet the following
complimentary notice:
with distracted Cabinet and mutual
recriminations attending every private dis
cussion of public affairs-without nerve in
the Executive, and with advisers who
possess neither the confidence nor the res
pect of any portion of the people-with a
party which dares not be responsible for its
acts-and "policy" which exhausts itself
in the details ofretty postohice appointment
this Administration must go down in his

expectations, ridiculous pretenses and
impotent purposes IS
