RE-oPENING OF THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE. -
According to the New Orleans True Delta, tn
slave trade has heen re-opened in the South
A regular depot has been established on Peal
River, in Mississippi where cargoes of negroS
are landed and sold. The vessels engaged IL
this traffic hoist the French flag. The De1{t
says:
" Although the foiled and furious enemies Of
our institutions may shake up, uncork, and pour
out on our battered brows the foamug viais Of
their wrath, although the President may be-
shocked and embarrassed, and although the
great parties of the country may be bitterly dis
appointed and imbrangled let it go forth that
Southerners have taken into their own hand the
law, and opened the African slave trade with
the south that Africans are now imported into
Mississippi, and other sea-shore States, that in
Mississippi there is a market for African slaves,
and on plantations in that great and intrepid
State, negroes recently imported from Africa are
at their daily work. The Delta states that the
profit of single voyage may be 100000, and
gives directions for an outfit, and the best way
Of escaping danger.
A bill passed the Louisiana House of Repre-
sentatives, authorising company, already or
ganazed, to import twenty-five hundred free
blacks from the coast of Africa, to be inden-
tured for not less than fifteen years.

SOUTHERN VIEw.-The Washington States
makes some extracts from the letter Of CORES
pondent of the Columbus (Seath Carolina) De-
mocraL The correspondent of the Democrat ex-
presses his views in pungent language, as fol-
lows:
There is doubt in the fact, as general
proposition, that the Black Republicans of both
Houses desire the admission of Kansas under
ffe Lecompton Constitution, though they will
appear strenuously to resistit. The reasons why
they desire the admission of Kansas are two
fold first, it brings additional strength to their
side, as Calhoun will give the State Government
to them and furnishes them additional cause
of attack against the Democratic party as ap-
pearing to be Pro-Slavery. We have been bad
~ humbugged by Calhoun and his coadjutors.
This final develepement of the Kansas ques-
tion is calculated to disgust the South with the
so-called Democratic Pro-Slavery party of Kan
sas and | think I may venture the assertion
ton that if the great bulk of the polital leaders
in Kansas of both sides, including Jim Lane and
Dictator Calhoun, were pitched into the turbld
waters of the Missouri with q mill stone tied
round the neck of each of the individuals civili-
cation would lose nothing, and the South would
have no cause to shed a tear. We have been
humbugged in Kansas in reference to the
strength of the Pro-Slavery cause and, to wind
up the show at our expense, we have been sold
at public auction by Calhoun to the highest
bidder.

THE HOLLAND PATENr.-Nearly one-half of
that portion of this State known as Western New
York-the richest in agricultural wealth, is
owned under titles derived from company of
Dutch capitalists, known as the Holland Land
Company, the title to which has heretofore been
regarded as beyond all dispute. But proceed
ings have already been commenced in the
courts of this State, and will soon be brought to
trial, which involve the title to considerable
quantity of this Company's Landslide authority
of one of its agents to dispose of them being
disputed. The prosecution is conducted nomi-

THE WORK OF ENGLISH NAvvIEs-It is difficult
to form an adequate idea of the immense guam
tity of earth, rock and clay that has been picked
blasted, shovelled and wheeled into emhank-
ments by English navvies during the last thirty
years. On the South Western Railway alone
the earth removed amounted to sixteen millions
OF cubic yards-a mass of material sufficient to
form pyramid thousand feet high with base
of one hundred and fifty thousand square yards
Mr.. Robert Stephenson has estimated the total
amount on all the railways in England as at
least five hundred and fifty millions of cubic
yards! And what does this represent ~ /" We
are accustomed" he says, to regard ST Paul's
as test of height and space but by the side
of the pyramid of earth these works would rear,
St. Paul's would be but pigmy to giant.
Imagine mountain half a mile in diameter at
its base, and soaring into the clouds one mile
and half in height, that would be the size of
the mountain of earth which these earth-works
would form while st. James's-park, from the
Horse Guards to Buckingham Palace, would
scarcely afford space for its base" All this vast
mass has been removed by English navvies-
perhaps the hardest workers in the world.

CALIFORNIA SPEAKING TO CoNGREss.-Mr
Street, of the Assembly, with view to induce
Congress to take some speedy action in regard
to the overland route now rendered impracti-
cable by the state of affairs in Utah, has intro
duced the following preamble and resolution,
which were referred to the Committee on Fed
eral Relations
Whereas, an increase Of population is desira-
bic, in order to develop the resources and pro-
mote the prosperity of this State; and whereas,
on the one hand, a steamship monopoly, aided
by the General Government in manner thai
discourages competition, retards rather than ia
cilitates emigration, by means of its exorbitant
passenger charges; and whereas, immigration
by the overland route is rendered dangerous
and impracticable in consequence of Mormon
outrages perpetrated under the authority and by
direction of the leaders of that reasonable or
ganization; therefore be it
Resoised, BY the Assembly, the Senate cor
curing, That our Senators be instructed, and
our Representatives requested, to urge on Con
gress such action as will clothe the President n
the United States with such authority, and place
at his disposal such armed force and munitions
OF war, as is required to speedily crush out Tia

BeA. The New York Freemans Journal, a Ca
tholic and Democratic Journal, is very severe
upon the Administration for its course upon
Kansas. 1t says:
What is the practical difference between the
Royal Perogative claimed by the weak and
tyrannical Stuarts, and the Executive influence
so impudently Haunted in our faces by the ad-
vocates of the fraudulent Constitution of the Le-
comptontes? The only difference is, that this
Executive influence is vier in its nature, more
demoralizing, and more potent, than the Royal
Perogative' which lives in the execraton Of
free men, We have been told, day by day, by
the servants and the seekers of the Government
pelf, that some ten millions of dollars of pat
ronage are to be employed in buying the votes
or the absence of a sufficient number of the rep
resentatives of the people, to secure the passage
of an act deadly to the interests of the country,
and to the fundamental principles of our insti-
tutions.n

BaF The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North american writes that:
During the last discussion of Cooks nomina-
ton as Postmaster at Chicago, Mr.. Brodcricl
took occasion to address the South pointedsv
inquiring if they would lend themselves to this
insulting act of retaliation upon one who had SO
gallantly stood by them when they most needed
friends, and looked in vain for support from
those whom they were now supporting. Craft
tude, if no other consideration, demanded the-
discountenance of this miserable vengeance, ap.u
especially since the Administration sough. to
make it more odious by sending the nomination
ofa defaulter to the Senate, who, with all tbd
excuses which had been pleaded for him, ~
not, and could not appear before them vi, ii
clean hands. This appeal, like the opposition
of Judge Douglas, only seemed to strengthen the
purpose to confirm Cook, which will probably
be consummated when the case is next called
up, unless an unexpected change should occur.
In opposing the California nominations, Mr..
Broderick fatty contradictei the statements in
the Union, representing that the public senti-
ment sustained the Administration. He said
there were one hundred and twenty papers in
California of which one hundred and eleven
opposed the Presidents policy, while only nine
supported it, and they the recipients of his pa
tronage This demonstration was sufficient to
hurry Mr.. Washington's confirmation, especial
ly as letter of his, glorifying Lecompton, op-
portunely appeared yesterday morning.

HENRY clay AND EDWARD EvERETT.-The Ohio
State Journal tells the following striking anec.
dote.
When Gen. Harrison, in 1910, nominated Mr.
Everett as Minister to England, the slave power
in the Senate sought to defeat him on tht
ground that he was ian abolitionist.n He hat
written a letter to freesoil committee, when a
candidate for Governor, saying that he was op.
posed to the extension of slavery, and in favor
of abolishing it in the District of Columbia
VIM. K. King, of Alabama, was chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, and reported
against Mr.. Byerett's confirmation, and made 6
speech sustaining his report In the course O.
his speech he said 'tthat if men entertaining tht
sentiments of Mr.. Everett in his letter to the
freesoil committee were to be entrusted with
high official position, and sent to represent oul
country abroad, the Union would soon be at al
end.p
Henry Clay, during the speech of Mr.. King
was walking in the rear of the Presidents chair
listening all the while to the speech, and, wher
Mr. King came to the part we have quoted al
above, he came round to his place, and, taking
the words of Mr.. King, he drew himself up te
his full height, and pointed his long and skinny
forefnger at the Alabama Senator, his eyes
flashing fire, and his whole frame trembling
with excitement, he thundered out, in the full
ness of his magnificent voice. sand | tell you
sir, if you reject the nomination of the distin.
guished citizen of Massachusetts for the reason
you have stated, the Union is dissolved already
No report of this scene in the United State:
Senate was ever published. Mr.. Morehead wa:
at the time colleague of Mr.. Clay, and was al
eyewitness of the whole of it. He said he never
saw Mr.. Clay so great as upon that occasion
The effect was electrfying, and when he sa
down the case was settled Edward Everett
was confirmed
