MR. EDIToR-W Julius Ceasar was brave or Napolean was skillful is matter that does not greatly interest the people of our State at present, but whether Massachusetts shall be allowed through her emgrant aid associations to continually assail the south and control our elections Is matter of deep importance to us. the negroe and the whole cvalized world That African slavery exists by Cots providence there is no doubt, and that not only for the good of the negro, but for the good of mankind generally. The negro is certainly better of as christian here, than canuibal in Africa. and slavery here is bliss compared to slavery there, where, according to Mir. Christy, nine-tenths are slaves, and where a room and yard is paved with human souls, and on some occasions as many as three thousand lives are sacrificed for mere sport, or to propitiate the departed spirits of their ancestors.
 Without looking at the horrid condition of Africa the designs of Providence cannot be un derstood. Then if the shareholder is the mere agent in the hands of God in executing his de- signs, why should he be assaed so bitterly and the safety of the Union and the interests of the world be endanged by a set of fanatics? Why will not the entire south unite to counteract this emigrantad schism? Four millions is vast amount to be brought to bear against the south and might say the Union, then I hope the people will see their danger and try to avert it.
 think convention should be held to con- sider this slavery subject without distinction of party and to obtain fair expression of public sentiment, let township meetings be held to ap polnt delegates to a county convention, then let the county convention appoint delegates to State convention; it is plain that without some effort, that Massachusetts by her emigrant aid fund, will be able to exercise a great influence on all elections and in many instances may change the result, and if understand their in. tentlons, this five millions is to be perpetual fund and if they find it profitable, which they probably may, they may increase it. think there Is more danger in this Massachusetts moye- ment than anything else. Greedy strongly recommends union of all parties against the democracy. In the south we at heart are all de- mocrats, and all that is necessary to harmonious action Is proper understanding, which can. not be effected without a convention in which all can participate and minor differences be settled.

THIRTY YEARS IN ARKANSAS.

Or An exchange has an article in relation to men who lie about court house doors, when the courts are in session for the purpose of be- ing selected as jurors. We suppose that these fellows call this the office of juryman seeking them and not they seeking the office. We jon with our contemporary in saying that these men, who are so anxious to serve, should be excluded from jurieS. Some time before the election, when the subject of elecling successors to Senators Sebastian and Johnson was under discussion, certain would be Senator, in anti cipaton Of his election, averred that he "would set upon the cases of these two gentlemen."- Alas! this professional juryman was challenged for cause and told to stand aside.

BAD ACCOUNT OF THE WALKER RIv-
Err DfGGINGs.-A stampede, on a small
scale, has already taken place to the
Walker river diggings, east of the Ser
re Nevada and Genoa, and other pla-
ces in Carson Valley, are said to be
half depopulated by the exodus. 1t is
pity that so many anxious and enter
prising gold hunters should be disap-
pointed, yet such would almost appear
to be their doom, to judge from the fol>
lowing tidings on the subject, which a
correspondent, writing from Carson Va
Hey, on the 9th of May, sends to the
Placerville Under:
have returned from the scenes of
the new gold discoveries on Walker riv-
err, and am able to report them COM
parative humbug, and will cndeavor to
give you and the public an idea of some
OF the many Inconvenience that will
have to be experienced in getting to
dlgglngs that will not pay mo than three
or four dollars per day. The distance
from this place is upwards Of hundred
miles, across rivers and barren plains,
which will have to be travelled by mules
or horses, as it is almost impossible to
get there with teams. And when there,
the disciple of Mammon will find him-
self III one Of the most isolated places
on earth situated high up in the noun
tains, and assailed by severe, cold east
winds, which will compel him to bundle

what is more there is not stick of wood

whatever. Should any one feel inclin-
ed to doubt the truth of these state
ments, l would say, let him come and
see for himself.

MERDERoUs TINES IN MAR1posA.-
A correspondent of the Stockton Argus,
writing from Mariposa, on the 18th of
May, says:
Yesterday a man named Quin was
killed by a Mr.. Smith. They had
quarrel over game Of cards, which pro-
crossed so far that Smith shot Quin with
shot gun. The gun was loaded with
seven slugs, all of which entered one
side of Qain, passed through his body,
coming out of the opposite side.
To~day, Dir. Scribbens was shot by
Charley Peck, formerly of Stockton.
Scribbens had seduced Peck's wife, who
IS woman with four children. Peck
shot him through the brain and in the

woman then, but, alas, how fallen!

Democratic County Convention.
We are informed that our "Model
Central Committee" have called Coun
ty Convention, to be held in Columbia
on the Goth of July, and have selected
the vote of r. NJ Wilson as the basis Of
representation. This arrangement will
give the Black Republican and Know
Nothing vote of Columbia represe nta-
ton in a Democratic Convention. We
suppose this is intended as part of their
reward for assisting in the defeat of the
Democratic ticket at the late city cleo
ton. An attempt ives also made by
Cazneau to allow all persons, without
reference to their former political ante
ccdents, TO vote in the primary meetings.
This last outrage would have been per-
retrated, had it not been for the opposi-
tion Of Capt. Mclean, who refused to
swallow this Black Republican dose.

lie next proceeded to Havana, and by the
assistance of Messrs. Torresas and Sama and
other capitalists, obtained the consent of the

connecting with Key West. The project was
approved in April, 1857, and sent to Spain
for ratification. Tie Spanish government,

Company, and that the work will he com.
menced in the fall The lines actually in
contemplation are from Key West to Havana;
from Havana to Cape Antonio; thence across
the channel to Yucatan, forty miles, where it
will connect with a line to the City of Mcxi
