The WANDERERS Cargo.

Two hundred and seventy seven of the cargo OF
Africans recently landed near brunswick, were
brought up the Savaunah river and put ashore
Yesterday evening about three o'clock, at the
mouth Of Horse Greek, three miles below this
city on the Carolina side. One of the river boats
is supposed to have taken them from the boat which
brought them by Savannah in the night, to point
twelve miles above that city. We learn on GOOD
authority that the original cargo consisted OF Az
and that not one of them died or was seriously
i'll on the passage. 1t is supposed that the wan
derer acted only as decoy boat, and that the ves-
sci that brought them is at large Citizens Of our
CITY are probably interested in the enterprise, and
those brought up the river supposed to be their
share Of "the spoils' and have been distributed
on the plantations 1t is quietly hinted that this
is the third cargo landed by the same company
during the last six months.
We learn that one of our citizens has bought
slave from the lot recently landed just below this
city. for which he paid $3.50. He is stout boy
about IA years old, and considerable curiosity
has been manifested this morning to see the "dis-
tinruised dvisitor."-ASgxsta Dispatch, 18TH
The Macon (Ga. Journal, December 18th, says:
We learn that one Of the recently imported Al
r;cans-about winch there SENS to be some stir
among our friends on the seaboard-passed
through this place on Monday last, en- route for
Columbus. A fellow. passenger informs us that
he seemed quite observant OF men and things. The
sensation Of O newly caught African in his first
iourneying by the railroad, must be somewhat
peculiar. ,e.,
The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer, December 18th,
says:
One of the negroes from the Wanderer was
brought to this city yesterday by "A gentleman who
obtained him from the lot carried up the Svannah
river. He is represented to be likely and very
tractabls young fellow.
The Augusta Chronicle, December 10th, says ::
Welearn from reliable authority, that about two
hundred and seventy Of the wild Africans, por-
ton of the cargo Of the sWanderer," are now on
a plantation in South Carolina, two or three miles
below this city, on the Savannah river, having
been brough, here two days ago, on board a steam
boat, from some point near Savannah; and we
suppose will soon be offered for sale. Indeed, we
are informed that sales have already been made
of some of the cargo.
The success OF this enterprise by the owners of
the Wandrerer," establishes the fact very con-
clusive,y, that if the Southern people desire orin-
tend tosuppress this traffic, they must rely upon
themselves, as u reliance upon the government
will be of little avail The coast Of the savehold.
inr States is so extensive that the entire navy Of
the United States, if concentrated upon it cannot
maintain the law ilyiolate. Hence the great ne.
cessity for the prompt and efficient action OF the
people themselves, to protect their rights and m
terests. They should not hesitate to resort to
any all legitimate lNeans, to arrest ut once ana
forever traffic so dsa ,trous, If permitted, to the
public veal Of the South.
If there exist upon the statute books OF the
Southern States any laws, which will protect them
against this traffic, they should be enforced most
ridgidly against all violators.
