From the London Times
EngiandW Will Oppose. by Force, the II c.
yiva1 OF the slave Erasie.

England Will Oppose. by Force, the Il G.
Vivai OF the slave .Erafie.
There is one question which must
have occurred 10 these advocates of a revived
Staye trade, and to which we would invite their
serious attention. Have they made sure of the
consent OF England, in the event of their OBJ
tanning majority in Congress to repeal tho
law of ls20s We have perceived no reference
to this momentoas question in the Journals that
have yet reached US, and we are ct little sur
prised ut the omission. Can it be supposed for
moment that We should be Indifferent to the
matter?
Let not the men of the South deceive them
selves on this point England will never con-
sent to the revival of the Slave trade. Her alb.
horrence OF it remains un,nitigated and uncen-
qrerable; she has pledged herelf to its suppress
sion by innumerabe treaties; she has opposed
1t by active hostilities for fifty years, and she
will not now abandon policy which has. under
the blessings of Providence, had the effect of
extinguishing the traffic in every quarter except
the colonies Of Spain. We believe that France
IS equally in earnest in this matter. Let the
men of Louisiana and Carolina consider those
things. They may rely upon il, that IN
their efforts TO revive the Slave trade, the oppo-
sition Of the Northern States win not prove
their only difficulty.

For TIC Hawk-Eye d Telegraph
Mr.. DUNBAR IL heard, few days since, that
an effort was being made in the Legislature OF
this State to pass law prohibiting the roaming
at large ofhogs and sheep, commonly known as
the hog law Have you ever estimated the ex-
pcnse of fencing our little State Suppose the
number Of square miles to be even 10000 Then
to fence this into 80 acre farms or fields, would
require 500, miles offencing. This does not
include roads, which would increase the amount
at least fifty thousand miles; and 80 acre fields
are far too large. $4,000 miles are equal to
ll2,Oo0,0o0 rods, which will cost on, an aver
age, one dollar rod, (can good fence be made
less, including posts, plank md work? Now at
least one-third-many say one-half-of this may
be saved by the passage of the hog-law. Isnot
sS7,O0o,OoO worth savingP Allow 100000
for making tight fences for hog pastures, and
we have S3O,000,0O0 saved on the FIRST fence,
and this must be renewed every ten years at an
increased expense. This increase will go on till
it will be so burdensome that the people will de-
mand and obtain the hog law, if that time has
not already arrived.
1t surely would look wiser to take such steps
before what little timber there is left is destroy
cd by making the unsightly. and wasteful rail
fence, running zigzag around the field, and fur
nishing secure places for weeds to ripen their
seeds.
Was such a law now passed, there would be
twice as much new land improved the ne1ttwelyc
MONTHS and q vast increase of settlers on our
prairies, together with rise in value of such
land. which would cause our noble State to out
march any other that may cling to the ways of
