REVIVAL OF THE SLAVE TRADE.-It is
singular coincidence that at the same time
when the President in his message was advo-
eating the acquisition Of Cuba as a means of
eXtinguishing the last vestige of the African
slave trade, the yacht Wanderer was landinga
cargo Of negroes, fresh from Africa, on the
coast of Georgia, and hurrying them secretly
up into the country, to be disposed of for the
benefit of Christianity and the cotton culture.
The Wanderer was suspected last June of be-
ing engaged in preparations for this traffic and
Oyerhauled, but no evidence of the illegal ma
ture Of her voyage was forthcoming, and she
was suffered to depart. The next we hear of
her is from a letter from one of the United
States squadron, off the coast of Africa, written
in October, stating that the Wanderer was up
the Congo after slaves. The writer said, 'Been
eyes are upon them, and they will have to be
smart to get off" Smart they were, and the
cargo from Congo has just been landed on our
coast. According to one account, it consisted
of some three hundred negroes, but the New
York Herald, which is likely to be well inform
ed on such subjects, says that any such sto-
ry is simply ridiculous from the fact that the
Wanderer could not possibly accommodate
half that number. 1t is inferred that she had
on board but eighty negroes, who were Sc
lected on account of their health, vigor, size
and strength; that they were treated with the
utmost care on the voyage, and finally landed
in good condition at some point between Flor
ida and Georgia, where they readily brought
seven hundred dollars each-making an aggre-
gate of fifty-six thousand dollars
The Washington friends of Capt. Corrie, of
the Wanderer, on receiving the news of his
successful landing of the cargo, were quite
gleeful and poured liberal Hbatons of cham
payne down their threats to the success of all
future enterprises. 1t is also said that this
experiment was deliberately made to test the
constitutionality of the United States laws
against the slave trade
1t is not likely that this is the first or only
cargo of slaves landed in this country. 1t is
notorious that slavers have been fitted out re-
peatedly in New York for years but nothing
has been accomplished by the government to-
wards preventing it. 1t is evident that a des-
perate effort is about to be made to remove all
restrictions upon the revival of the trade and
it is likely to prove but too successful.-Neoo
