THE CAPTURED AFRICAHs-Dis DISPATCHES
FROM CAprAIy CHAUScEy.-The Secretary
of the Navy has received dispatches, dated
at Porto Grande, Island OF ST. Vincent,
October 22d. from Captain Chauncey. O.
the United States steam frigate Niagara,
which hailed from Charleston with the cap
tured Africans, For,y-five of them had
died from the time Of receiving them on
board at the latter port. The Niagara put
into Porto Grande 10 obtain supply Of
coal, and Intended 10 sail again on the 23d
ult. After landing the negroes on the coast
of Africa the vessel would stop at MonrO-
via for coal and return direct TO The United
States. The officers and crew were in the
enjoyment Of perrec, heal.h. DR.. Ranney,
he agent, says:
They are extremely filthy, and much pre-
fer nudity 10 dress. We have adopted the
plan OF having a large hose turned on them
twice per week, with strong men a, the en-
gine, They appear well enough satisfied
ith the bath, but cannot, even BY the lash,
which we are compelled TO employ freely,
be made 10 observe any other sanitary or
decent habit. 1t requires good large
crew of men 10 keep the spar deck, where
thew are located, clean. When clothing
was put on them in Charleston, OF which
the slaves in the city contributed several
draw loads, they Immediately tore it off and
rolled il in the sand and basked in the sun &.
know but few cases in which they mani
fest any sympathy Tor one another, except
10 help scratch each others backs. They
give no attention or sympathy whatsoever
10 the sick and dying. When one is dead
the body may lay for hours among them in
immediate contact, yet unnOiiced. But as
soon as the soul has fled, they steal the
blanket of the deceased and most uncere-
moniously proceed 10 appropriate his bread,
spoon and bag. During the process Of bu-
rial, they never manifest the slightest con-
CEN. A more stolid. bruIalized, piiiable
set Of beings l never beheld.

Political Items.

The Nashville Tenn Banner makes an
appeal in behalf Of Senator John Bell, as
the Opposition candidate for the next Pres
idency. s
The Democracy Of Kentucky hold Their
State Convention at Frankfort, on the 9Th
Of January next. Nominations are 10 be
then made for Governor, Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and other State officers.
THE Washington correspondents of the
New York papers, writing on the 26lh,
communicate the following items Of interest:
Mr.. Breckenridge is exceedingly anx.
ious that there should be no war upon Judge
Douglas. He makes no secret Of his feel
ings on this subject.
THE Cabinet was in session again to-day
till late hour, engaged upon Mexican a.
fairs. The Spanish Minister denies that
his Government intends war with Mexi-
CO, and Lord Napier and Count Sariiges
express emphatieally their disbelief that
anything serious will result from the move
ments in the Gulf.
II is stated that there exists in the South
ern States Southern League--one of whose
aims is 10 augment the supply of negro labor
in the planting States. They claim that
The States themselves have perfect right
TO make laws legalizing and regulating an
African free-apprentice system, and that
Congress has no power to interfere with, or
prohibit it. Starting with this claim, they
are now engaged in operating upon the State
Of Mississippi with view to securing the
enactment of law under which to immeL
diately carry out system of African ap-
prenticeship-or "the siave-trade in dis
guise." Ii they succeed, we shall have a
new contest before Congress in relation to
lis power 10 regulate" this branch Of com
merce" by snppressing it altogether.

Land Warrants.

The following letter from the General
Land office will save a vast deal OF enquiry
about the advantages and disadvantages of
the different sized land warrants:
GENERAL LAND OrFIcE.
WAsHTNGToN, D, c., Nov. Is, '5S.
.Nessrs. Thompson Bros, NJ Y:
GENrLEMEN:-In reply 10 the questions
prOpounded in your letter of the 18th inst,
have 10 state
!. That pre-emptor can locate two war
rants for 90 acres each on a quarter section
OF land, containing l60 acres, 10 which he
has valid pre-emption claim; but the ap-
plIcaIion Tor the localion must, IN the case
OF each warrant, describe the precise half
quarter section on which the warrant is 10
be located.
2. A pre-emp'or can use one warrant for
so acres and $l00 IN money in satisfaction
for his pre-emp'ion claim to quarter sect
ion containing loo acres; hut the warrant
must be surrendered in satisfaction for one
half quarter section, and the money must be
applied 10 the purchase Of the other half
quarter section.
3. He can Then locate one warrant for
12O acres on three quarter quarter sections
and one ~ acre warrant on the remaining
quarter quarter section embraced in his pre-
empIion claim.
4. He can locate warrant for l20 acres
on three quarter-quarter sections embraced
in his claim, and pay for the remaining
quar,er-quarter section with $50 in money.
.. A locator upon lands held at s. 30
per acre (RaiIroad lands) can locate his
warrant for 100 acres on three 40 acre
tracts, by paying the excess price of 81 25
with cash, and he then can locate his war
rant for 40 acres on the remaining tract in
like manner.
That is each warrant location must dis
tncily describe the tracts containing the
number OF acres called for by lis face, and
no more; but if the locator finds 1t o his in
terest TO surrender his warrant for so, l20
or l60 acres for tract or tracts of land
containing fraction less than the quantity
called for by The face of the warrant, he
can do so, but he must take the land in full
satisfaction for his warrant.
1t is believed that the foregoing contains
full answer to all questions presented in
your letter above attended 10.
Very Respectfully,
THos. A. HEspRIcKs,
Com'r Of the GenI Land Office.

Idle Boys.

A writer in the Northwestern Christian
Advocate has the following sound advice tc
boys, which all our young readers would dc
well 10 consider:
He who is idle and vicious IN school is
sill more so when he leaves it. He who
fires squibs, will in Time FIRE pistols. He
who plays cards for sport, will, if he turn
not, play ere long for money. He who
rob, hen roosts and orchards, will probably
some day rob safes and pocket books. He
may not do it III The way 10 expose himself
10 The peni'entiary; he may have his wits
so hardened as 10 rob legally, by setting up
wildcat bank or betraying the confdencs
OF his employer, or obtaining possession Of
properly without the means of paying for it,
or by getting his hand upon the public cof-
iers that he may fill his own, under the soft
appellaiiun of breach of trust
Iwould that YOU could see with my ayes
for little while, you would then think
with me, that he who when boy could not
be trusted, cannot now that he is man. Il
would not be proper for me TO mention
names, or could illustrate this by numer-
Gus painful examples. But they are not
necessary. Effect will follow cause-ss q
man sows, so shall he reap, boyhood is ths
seed time, OF which manhood is The harvest.
As, therefore yOu love yourselves, form
the habit, while young, Of employing all
your time usefully. Never be unemployed.
The land is full of idlers, striving to live
without labor. 1t is not TO be supposed
that boy is TO be a man much less an old
man; but in the midst Of his mirth and hilar1
iy he may be innocent and amiable.

CHILr.-Of all ths South American
countries. Chill appears TO be making ths
most rapid progress. II is mountainous, as
all our readers know, but that does not de-
bar it from constructing railroads. An but
sixty miles Of the Valparaiso and Santiago
Railroad is completed, and the government
is now negotiating loan of 81 ,00o, GOO TO
finish that and other lines OF road. The
mineral wealth of the country is great
The copper mines of the north in Copiapo
are worth S. ,OOO, 900 per annum. Liber-
al grants Of land are made to European
colOnists, and great exertiops are being
made TO introduce German settlers. The
climate and the resource. Of Chill are calcn-
lated TO induce peasants from Central Eu-
rope 10 settle there. The agriculture and
commerce o! the country is undoubtedly
destined to increase rapidly under the ener-
getic measures of the present government.
Our relations with it through the commerce.
of San Francisco are increasingly important.

Putting the Baby to sleep.

In DR.. Hollands new poem "Bitter Sweet, J"
Ruth kneels by the side of the cradle and thus
beautifully sliloquises:
sWhat is the little one thinking about2
Very wonderful things, no doubt.
Unwrtten history
Unfathomed mystery!
Yet he laughs and cries and eats and drinks,
And chuckIes and crows, aud mods and winks,
As if his head were as full of kinks
And curiou riddles Us any sphinx!
Warped by collie, and wet by tears,
Punctured BY pins, and tortured by fears,
Our little nephew will lose two years!
And he'll never know
Where the summers &C;
We need not laugh, for he'll find it so!
Who can tell what baby thinks?
Who can follow the gossamer links
By which the manrikin feels his way
Out from the shore of the great unknown,
Blind and wriling, and alone,
Into the light of day?
Ont from the shore of the unknown sea,
Tossing in pitiful agony
Of the unknown sea that reels and rolls,
Specked with the barks of little souls
Banks that were launched on the other side,
And slipped from Heaven on an ebbng tide
What does he think of his mothers eyes?
What does he think of his mothers hair?
What of the cradle roof that flies
Forward and backward through the air?
WhaI does he think of his mothers breast
Bare and beautiful, smooth and white,
Seeking it over with fresh delight
Cup of his life ahi couch of his rest?
What does he think when her quick embrace
Presses his hand and buries his face
Deep where the heart-ihrobs sink and swell
With tenderness she never can tell,
Though she murmurs the words
OF all tine birds
Words she has learned TO murmur well?
Now he thinks he'll 90 to sleep,
| can see the shadow creep
Over his ewes in soft eclipse.
Over his brow and over his iips,'
Out to his little finger-tIp.
Softly sinking, down he goesl
Down he goes! Down he goes!
See. he is hushed in sweet repose!'

Be TRUE TO YouRSELT.-The story oil
the world, as well as the biography OF those
who have played the prNminen, part IN its
concern, teach one great lesson, worth. oil
everlasting remembrance. 1t assures us
that i, matters not what form of danger as
sails man il he be true TO himself. Power
,y may lay his chilling hand upon him, and
freeze up the fountain Of his brightest hopes,
disappointment may meet him at every steP'
sfiliclion may strike down those who are
dear To his heart, the breath Of slander may
attempt 10 suly his name and tarnish his
reputation, still let him be true 10 himself
let him maintain a stout heart and clean
breast, and he will eventually outride the
storm.

How to take Life,

Take it like q man. Take it Just as
though it was-as it Is-an earnest, vital,
essential affair. Take it just as though
you personally were born to the task Of
performing merry part in i,-as though
the world had waited for your coming
Take it as though it were grand oppor,u.
nIiy 10 do and 10 achieve, to carry forward
great and good schemes; TO help and cheer d
suffering, weary, ii may be heari-broken
brother. The fact is, life is undervalued
by great majority Of mankind. 1t is moi
made half as much Of as should be the case.
Where is the man or woman that accom-
plishes one 1.-THE OF what might be done?-
Who can l.ok back upon lost opportunities,
plans unachieved, thoughts crushed, aspi.
raiions unfulfilled, and all caused from the
lack Of the necessary and possible effort
If we knew better how to take and make
the most of life, il would be far greater than
i, is. Now and then a man stands aside
from the crowd, labors earnestly, s:eadfast-
ly, coniidenially, and straightway becomes
famous for wisdom, intellect, skill or great.
ness of some sort. The world wonders,
admires, idolizes; and yet it only illustrates
what each may do, il he takes hold of life
with purpose, If a man but say he Uili'
and follows it up, there is nothing in reason
he may not expect TO accomplish. There is
no magic, no miracle, no secret to him who
is brave in heart end determined in spirit.
