DEATH OF ROBERT OwEN.-Tho Europa
brings intelligence Of the death of the eel
ebrated Robert Owen, in his SSth year.
Mr., Ovens name was Unidentified with
sundry retormitory movements. He pro-
posed to reconstruct society, projected a
variety of measures for the elevation of
mankind, and labored diligently in his vo-
cation of philantropist. He was born in
Wales in HI, made his mark as a bright
scholar in his native town at the early age
of nine years, went from school into gro
Gerry shop, and at the age of II went to
London When Is years old he become
partner in cotton factory into which
Arkwlight's machinery had just been in
troduced; afterwards established the
Charlton Mill, near Manchester, and after
conducting that concern for some years,
undertook the famous speculation at New
LaBarl, in Scotland, where he and his
partners had the management of mills and
a farm of one hundred and fifty acres, and
a population of two thousand pcrs ms
Mr.. Owen was at the head of this enter
prise for a quarter of a century, expended
great sums of money, was visited by prin-
ces, clergy, and the curious from all coun-
tries, wrote elaborate treatises on the ben
ehts of Government like that of New
Lanark, which did away with punishment
and the terrors of the penal law, and dill
gently disseminated his peculiar doctrines.
In 1898, he essayed to introduce his theo-
ry Of Government in Mexico, but was un-
successful. He afterwards attempted to
establish q New Moral Community"
which failed started Labor Exchange
Bazaar" which also met a sudden end =
and in 1867, urged his claims to seat in
Parliament, in which effort he likewise
failou, Mr.. Owen made several visits to
the United States, The last Of them hav-
ing occurred some ten years ago While
here he received marked attention from
the social reformers. and omitted no op.
portunity to bring his theories Lc'ore the
public.
Mr. Owen was very enthusidtitic in his
devotion to schemes of social rcorganiza-
ton; was an avowed free-thinker had
faculty of fixing the attention of his hear
crs when he spoke; wrote with facility :
was a man of impressive presence, and
had many warm admirers. His son, the
Hon. Robert Dale Owen, was formerly a
member Of Congress from an Indiana Dis
trict, and was appointed United States
Minister to Naples by President Pierce, in
which post he has recently been superse-
ded bv Mr.. Chandler.-N Y. Times

They locked me up in an upper room,
And took away the key,
Because l would MT marry ono
That never suited me.
They did not know the female,
Or they had clearly seen
That locks were never made to keep
A girl of seventeen
They had a guided cage in viow,
And thought the bird secure,
Surrounded by the guard of power,
And every awful lure.
They never thought of counter plots
In any one like me,
And little knew what | could dare
For Love and Liberty.
They waited me to "marry rich"
Unmindful Of the means
To couple me with wealth aud age

The Slave Trade Of Mississippi.

We copy the following from the ADVOCATE pub
lished at Charlottesville, Virginia:
The AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE TO THE SouTH.-We
have seen, once or twice recently, newspaper pa
ragraphs to the effect that the African slave trade
was successfully carried on with some parts Of the
Gulf States. As these reports were subsequently
denied, and becsuse:we could not think that such a
project could be successful in this the nineteenth
century, and in evident violation of the laws of the
United States and the sentiment of civilization, we
concluded that the reports were unfounded. Such
is not, however, the fact. We are told by a most
reliable gentleman, who was an eyewitness of
what he speaks, that several cargoes of native Afri-
cans have been landed within the last twelve months
upon the banks of Pearl River, Mississippi. They
were, 1t is true, brought over under the mere pre-
text of indented apprenticeship but no one doubts
that they are, and will continue to be, slaves in
every sense Of the word, and for all time. These
negroes were scattered through the Southern
counties Of Mississippi they were sold at q low
figure, but stil high enough to make the enter
prise q most profitable one for those engaged in 1t.
Anegro man and woman, young and likely, though
entirely unaccustomed to the work for which they
were destined, were sold for $1,000. As soon as
they are placed in the field, the master selects some
reliable negro man of his own force, to whom the
newly imported African IS chained, and whom he
Is compelled to initiate and follow in the days
work. TIE native African possesses the faculty Of
imitation in q high degree, and quickly learns to
do a good days work for himself. Our informant
represents them all to be, 80 far as he has seen,
perfectly contented with their new homes, prefer
ring it, even with the lsborious task before them,
to the savage and precarious existence in their ma
tive homes. We are told the sentiment of Missis-
sipi is almost universal in its approval of the re-
vival Of the African slave trade. The wealthy
want it because it affords them cheap labor for
their at present imperfectly cultivated fields; and
the poorer classes are as equally in favor Of it, as
they are told that, by its revival, they viii be en-
abled to buy negro men at from $4,000 $500, and
thus procure negro labor for their own smaller
tracts of land. These are the facts connected
with the African slave trade revival in this coun-
try. Is it not time that the press and people Of
Virginia were speaking out on this subject?

Correspondence ofthe Courier.

WARRINGTON, may 10, iooo'
In expectation of message from the President
upon the subject Of the outrages upon American
vessels in the GuE of Mexico, q crowd of persons
attended the Capitol this morning, but no message
was received. The Executive has taken measures
to procure authoritative information on the SUBJ
ject, but has now none but the accounts as pub
lished in the newspapers, which are, however,
consistent in themselves, and are, no doubt,
mainly correct, though possibly somewhat exag-
gerated.
The Administration view the subject as one Of
the greatest Importance and as menaoing the peace
of the country. A collision may occur in the
Gulf of Mexico at any moment between American
ships-of-war and the British Cruisers. The US.
steam frigate Colorado was dispatched on the
18th, with orders for the nome squadron to protect
the American vessels in the Gulf. The orders, If
executed, will produce q collision.
Congress is in q temper to 60 to any length in
support of the most decided measures for the re-
dress of the wrongs thus perpetrsted.
The Senate, to-day, adopted Mr.. Stewards
resolution directing the Committee on Foreign
Affairs to inquire whether any further legislation
is necessary to enable the President to protect
American vessels in the Gulf from British aggres-
sion. II may be deemed necessary to give the
President some discretionary power to meet emer-
gencies, as they may arrive, if Congress is to ad-
journ as early as the 7th June.
1t will not be easy to collect a respectable
armed force for this service in the gulf. The
Home Squadron, at present, consists Of one vessel
at Tsmpico and another at Aspinwall. Several
vessels are under orders for the Mediterranean
and they can be employed in the gulf.
Report says that the Government Of Spain is to
be held to account for such outrages on our vessels
as were committed within Spanish jurisdiction. 1t
would be safer to fx on a quarrel on Spain than
England, and we could make more out of it. But
this is a case in which a quarrel with one power
is q quarrel with both.
All danger of a war with the Mormons is be-
lieyed to be over. The achievements for the
army Of Utah, under General Persifer F. Smith,
may with safety be recalled.
tits probable that Col. Kane, who has visited
Salt Lake City from California, with some powers
from the Government ss q Commissioner, has
opened the way for the reception Of Gov. Cum
ming, the submission Of the Mormons as a com.
munity, and the exodus Of the Mormon leaders

A messenger had arrived at Fort L~eaVenworth
from Salt Lake City, the day before the arrival Of
the Mink at the former place, but Lieut.. Reno
stated that no news of any account was brought
by him. The officers, privates, citizens, and all,
seemed to understand, by the latest information
that the Mormons we're as determined as ever to
resit the troops, and the last express messengers
brought tidings to the effect that from out Salt
Lake City the women and children, in large num-
bers, were being sent southwark, as if to be out

Gov. Cumming was bitten on the 2Sth Of March,

Cotton advanced 9 little since our last report,
and the market is now steady and firm. Some sales
were made at IL cents-but most at II. A slight
change in foreign prices appear to have but little
effect on the Charleston market-infact the prices
of Charleston have been considered too high for
those of Liverpool-consequently our market has
not changed much.
Flour has declined. Corn is getting rather
