How much the lswr OF the United States forbid
| ding American vessels to engage in the African
sa7etrste for the supply Of foreign countries really
amount 10, and how the penalties imposed BY those
law,-forteiture of tho vesse, fine OF double the
vaue Ct the vessel on tie owners, and death to
these actually engaged in the transportation OF the
reg,oes--are evaded 10 made pretty evident by the
| case Of tie bsik L. A. RawlIns. whose arrival at
! SsvaDDsh was reported some days since. This
Yesse! ssed from Savannah some months since. 1t
vas suspected at TIE time-snd doubtless upon
good srounds-thst she was intended for tie slave
trade aid on the strength Of that suspicion she ""
stized, ard tie case brought before the District
Court. But tie Judge of that Court proved as
exactpg IN bis demands for evidence IS the
Jrdge Of our District Of Southern New.fork
is apt to be in similar csses, and, as the proof
did not come up to the Judges standard, the
vessel was discharged and proceeded on her voyage,
Domrslly for Madeira, very convenient stepping
store for the coast Of Africa. A few days since,
sbe made her appearance sgan at Savannah, last
from Gslsestop, in ballast, without any papers, and
with a Few csptsin and crew; and the report at
Ssyannsh is and most probably the correct one,
that che had succeeded in landing some six hundred
and fifty slaves on the coast OF Cuba. The papers
were, 70 doubt, thrown away after the slaves were
taken Oh board, lest by any accident she might fall
into tie hands of an American cruiser. The old cap
tain ard crew have judged it safest not to return; in
fact in al probability, the crew have been purposely
kept out of the way, lest they might be employed
az States evidence 40 to the character of the
voyage: and the new captain, by reporting himself
q. the Custom House as without papers and paying
fine Of $500, expects to save himself and the own
ers from all further consequences from that irregu
larity Hitherto it has been the custom, after land
ing cargo of slaves, to burn the vessel, BY way of
bresking the link between her American owners or
out6tters and the criminal enterprise in which she
had been epgsged. 1t would seem that the persons
engaged in this business at Savannah had grown
bolder, and relying perhaps upon the growing SEN
t;ment at the South in favor Of the slaye-trade,
have resolved no longer to submit to this sacrifice
or less.
If the fttrg out of slavers for the supply Of
Cuba can Re carried On from the port Of Savannah
under this thin dsguse-and it remains ts be seen
what steps Mr. Secretary Cobb will take in the
pIemi,ei--it Will make very little difference for
any practical p1rpo,e, that Mr.. Lamar should have
been refused The clearance for which he applied
from Charleston OF Savannah TO the coastof Africa
ard thence with cargo Of African immigrants to
scme pert in Cuba. If Mr. Secretary Cobb really
intends to enforce the laws prohibiting the foreign
,syersde if he does not mean to ,it still and allow
those laws to be violated in his face, and thst vo
lation made boast Of, it is high time he were
up ard doing.

APPOINTMENTS BY THE PREsIDESr.-The
Washington States of the eth inst, contains
q long list of the recent appointments made
by the President and confirmed by the Sem
ate last week. Among the Indiana appoint
ments we notice those of w. j. CuLLuM of this
State, superintendent of Indiana affairs for
the Northern Superintendency, and Cyrus X.
DREW "to be agent for the Indian tribes east
of the Rocky mountains and North of New
Mexico and Texas"
We think that there is q mistake in rela-
ton to the latter appointment. The Colonel
expects to be located at Crow Wing, one hun
dred and fifty miles North of St. Paul, as
agent of the Chippewas. If the States is
correct, the Office is one of more consequence
and responsibility than was at first supposed.

THE RELIGIOUS AWAKENING.

We note as one OF the signs OF the umes
the remarkably earnest state of feeling now
manifested in the public mind in reference TO
the subject of religion. 1t is evident that
the country is about entering upon an era Of
remarkable religious excitement. The move
ment seems to have commenced in New York
City, where prayer meetings are daily held in
different parts of the city, to which men Of
business crowd by thousands. Running West
from New York, the Revival" rs it is tech
nically called, has reached Pittsburg, Gin
cinnati, Louisville, and even st. Louis. The
interest is not confined TO any denomination
Of Christians or to any particular locality
The movement is general and the indications
are, that for some time to como the fervor
thus manifested must be increased rather
han slackened.
The secular press of the country seems to
be deeply interested in the progress of this
devotional tide-wave, and are watching
with solieitude its effect upon the country. A
reference to the history of the subject shows
that during the last century, at Irregular in
tervals, there have been seasons peculiarly
marked by religious manifestations. We
have not space to refer to them in detail
The last repetition Of the conversational fervoI
diffused itself throughout the country about
twenty-five years ago. Since that time the
religious sentiment has not been advanced
BY any sudden and general movement, bu
has grown stronger and deeper by compar-
ativcly gradual advance. Within the las
fortnight, the public mind has been arousc CO
upon the subject, and as we read the accoun,
Of prayer meetings, special services and in
quiry meetings, held all over the country, W
are convinced that the American people or
standing upon the threshold of religion
revolution, fraught, as we hope, with grea
consequences to individuals and States.
In this city, within the last week, spcciu
meetings have been held, and others are con
templated. We can only utter the ferver
wish that they may be crowned with the sue
cess which has attended such movement
elsewhere.

Tho Sprfu4Tr

The season for the Spring Trade, and tho
time to make an effort to resuscitate the
business of our city, have arrived. The
stocks of merchants in thecountry have been
run low, and their old accounts with mer-
chants at Louisville, Cincinnati and the East,
have been settled up, and they are in posi-
ton to form new relations. Our merchants
ought to improve these favorable circum
stances to extend the business of the city
There is a river trade below ms that has never
been sought as it is worth seeking.
Agents of Louisville houses visit all the
towns, and aided by the Louisville packets,
carry large amount Of trade past US, that
might be brought here, We are told, by proper
exertions, and made to support our packet
and give activity to our streets. The Green
River country, from which we draw so much
of our trade, might be made to contribute
more by cultivating more intimate inter
course. A mail is very much needed up
Green River, and now is the year for form
ing new mail routes lit is certainly worth
petitioning for. Is there no one sufficiently
interested to move in the matteri The
country all around US needs canvassing to
retain our old customers. 1t is filed with
active drummers from Cincinnati and other
large markets, who will seduce many old
customers from US, if they are not circum-
vented. Our manufacturers, as we'll as our
merchants, should take more pains to make
themselves and their works known through
the country. 1t is only by individual cxer-
tons that the general trade and prosperity Of
the city can be increased.
A more liberal indulgence in the habit Of
advertising and circulating notices of their
business by handbills, cards and circulars,
would be an investment that would pay gon-
erous returns.
