A Coon ONK.-Not many months ago i,
happened at Beneoa, California, the head
quarters Of the L. s. troops, Capt. Jones of
the I. s. Army, a Virginian by birth, was
ordered to that point, whittier he went &C
companied By his faithful body servant,
named Joe. The Captain was startled not
long after by the news Of Joe's having shot
another negro. As soon as he was brought
into his masters presence, he sternly asked
him how he dared 10 act in the manner he
had done. Joe seemed Mt first cast down, but
ralying himself, and looking the captain
full in the face, replied:
ode fact is, massa, dat ar niger was one
Of dem New York free niggers. He suited
me, and had to take high Suddron ground
wild him."

NALuE OF SLAvEs.--Sdies and Hirinqs.-
A large number of these have been recently
held in this place and vicinity, Negro men
sold from 81 $50 to 81 $50; boys 81 900 to
1850; negro women 5000 to 81 100; girls
$500 to ST. 900.
Negro men hired from $l75 to 1925 boys
800 to $3.50; women rs to $l25; girls $50
to SIS. One blacksmith hired for $40 !;
another for $500, &c. Prices of last year
are fully sustained.
The Washington Wing says:
'Negroes hire out here for much less than
they did last year, the demand for them not
being so great. Negro men averaged from
800 to $3.50. Women averaged from $50
to $50."-l Marlborough Southerner.
There was very large number of negroes
sold publicly on last Monday, our last Janu-
ary Court day probably as many as n hun
bred, belonging to different owners, changed
masters that day. The prices which they
brought were very high, ranging from 81 COO
to 81 800 for men, ard $500 or 5000 for wo-
An. The very high figures which the cot
ton planters IRE willing to pay for slaves,
make it too costly q labor for the grain
growing states. The result. is that Virginia
has for the last two years, cent off to the
south AN unusually large number of her slave
opulation.-l Charlottesville (Va.) ADV.

TRADE WITH ArRicA.--Mr. Tyson, Of Phil
adelphia, has presented to the House Of Rep
resentatives the memorial or more than one
thousand merchants and others, citizens Of
Philadelphia, representing the condition and
prospects of the trads with Africa. They
say that Of the entire trade Of Africa, which
is believed to amount to the annual sum Of
one hundred millions Of dollars, Great Brit
ain enjoys from the west coast alone full
twenty FIVE millions, while the trade OF the
United States with the entire continent is on
ly little more than thre millions Of dollars.
The memorialists propose rs measures likely
to increase it, FIRST, the substitution Of steam
ers in the place of sailing vessels in the At
rican squadron; second, the admission, free
Of duty, Of oil commodities of African
growth and production directly entering
American ports; third, the establishment Of
a line Of steam propellers to carry mails and
passengers to the west coast CT Africa.

CRIMEAS ANEcporEs.-lIere is the Com
mander- in Chief at Inkermann; as some one
said, "he rather liked being under fire."
"lie was sitting on horseback, in the
midst Of n battery of artillery, watching
our men working the guns. A very heavy
fire was being directed against this part Of
the field, both from the cnemy's cannon and
also from small arms. One of the staff
suggested the propriety of his not putting
himself in quite so dangerous and conspicu-
Gus place, especially us it appeared from
the number o.. bullets which came singing by
US that he was mark for the enemy,s rifle
men. Lord Raglan, however, merely said /:
"les, they seem to be firing at US n little,
but think get better view here than in
most places" So there he continued for
some time, and then turning his horse, rode
the full length of the ridge at foot's pace,
and consequently exposed himself as much as
ever.'
As a contrast, take the following specimen
of the GOODNESS OF IA sergeant OF the gallant
It'll:
sslt was towards the close OF the battle,
and Lord Raglan was returning from taking
leave of poor Gen. S.rangways, and was GO
ing up towards the ridge. A sergeant mp.
preached US carrying canteens OF water to
take up for the wounded, and as Lord Rag
Ian passed, hc drew himself up to make the
usual salute, when round shot came bound
ing over the hill, and knocked his forage cap
of his head. The man calmly picked up his
cap, busted it on his knee, placed it careful
ly on his head, and then made the military
salute, and all without moving muscle OF
his countcnance. Lord Raglan was delight.
cd with the mans GOODNESS, and said to him,
A near thing that, my man. Yes, my Lord,
but miss is ms good MS mile replied the
sergeant. -lFrom tho Letters Of STAFF

A Great Gif,.

Sleep is the gift of God and not man
would close his eyes, did not God put his
finger on his eyelids. True, there are some
drugs with which men can poison themselves
well nigh TO death, and then call i. sleep; bu,
the sleep Of the healthy body is the gift OF
God he bes,ows il; he rocks the cradle for
US every night; he draws the curtain OF
darkness, be bids the sun shut up his burn
ing eyes, and then he comes aud says,
"sleep, sleep, my child; give thee sleep.'
You have sometimes laid your head upon
your pillow and tried to 60 to sleep, but you
could not do IL; il WAS beyond your power
You close your eyes, but still you see; and
there are sounds in your ears, and ten thou.
sand things drive through your brain. -
4 Sleep il the best physician that know Of
/ II has healed more pains than the most emf
/ nent physicians ont earth. 1t is the best med
ic;ne. There is nothing ike it. And wha
a mercy it is that ii belongs to all. God doe,
not give il merely TO the noble and rich, 81
they can keep il as u special luxury FOL
themselves; bat he bestows it upon nil. Yes
il there be any difference, i, is in favor o.
the poor. s'The sleep Of the laboring ma,
is sweet whether he Ca, little or much.
