The Rescned Afrieans at Home.

The return to- New York, on Saturday
last, of the United States steam frigate Ma
CARA after having conveyed to their native
country the surviving Africans who had been
captured on board the SLAYER Echo and car
ried into Charleston, IS a event which has
furnished the press with "A very interesting
item of intelligence When the Echo was
captured, there were found aboard, in a most
shocking condition, three hundred and sixty
seven blacks; three hundred and twenty-one
males and forty-six females. Many died
before leaving Charleston for Monrovia, and
seventy-one on the way out; so that of the
number originally found on the vessel, only
two hundred reached their native country.
The Niagara left New York OH the 18th of
September, was ut Charleston on the 18th,
and on the 30th reached her destination. A
letter from one Of the officers says of the
poor creatures:
The negroes, their baggage (the blan-
kets, bags, and linen cloth aforesaid) the
different commodities which we received
from the Colonization Society, were all turn
o over to Mr.. Dennis, the Society's agent,
who seemed very glad to have such an OPP
portunity rs the circumstances offered for
exhibiting his philanthropy. The human
portion of our car9o-who, [ should men
tion, during the latter days of the voyage,
began to brush up wonderfully-was care
fully, even tenderly received and located n
clean, comfortable, and commodious quar-
ters, where the emancipated creatures shall
want for nothing.
Before narrating the concluding circum-
stances of our voyage, let me remark on two
paculiarities | notice in the negroes ofwhom
! am writing, rs | have not seen a published
aflusion to them. Many had on their arms
kind of circumcision mark, which seemed
to gain reverence from those who were not
thus particuarized, and to denote sort OF
superiority in the tribe to which they be-
longcd; others possessed doRble rows OF
teeth, ranged like gallaries one behind an
other, an eccentricity they effect by prevent
ing the pulling out of their first teeth, and
by strenuously replacing them if they dOfall
out. These negroes are subject to an alb
dominal disease, which is so disastrous in
its nature that wonder how any of them
live month when it attacks them although
/ am informed they liAger years after its ap-
pearance.
That the influence which the missions we
have Just concluded will exercise on other
nations can not be other than advantageous
and creditable to us, has been sufficiently
proved by the courteous manner in which
we have been treated by the representatives
of other powers during our cruise At Mon
rovia, the President of Liberia and several
Of the most distinguished citizens of that Re
public boarded rs, and graduated in enlo-
CYSTIC terms our country for thus showing
such q good example to the world.

HyH 1t is stated that the cargo of slaves
landed on the coast of Georgia, consisted of
only eighty choice negroes. They were
uncommonly fine specimens, having been
selected on the Congo River with special
regard to their health, vigor size and
strength. They were treated with the ut
most care on the voyage, and when landed
readily brought 500 each, making 500, O0O
as4the gross proceeds OF the cargo, of which
at least $4,000 was clear profit, Upon the
examination of the crew of the Wanderer,
the vessel that is suspected of having been
engaged in the traffic, the evidence was in
sufficient to convict the prisoners 1t is now
alleged that the slaves were landed by an
other vessel that was scuttled after dis
charging her cargo.

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.-The London
Times OF u late date refers to what it regards
us the evident decline Of the influence of The
present Administration in the United States,
and, with this as a text, enters into ger !
cral disparagement of American institu-
tions, as compared with thoseEor Great Brit
ain. Its criticism is made up of some un-
palatabe truth aud large share of misrep4
rescntation.
There is some truth in its statement that
the popularity Of each American Presideut
is regular and periodical in its rise and fall,
being at its highest point when all the offices
yetremain to be given, and at its lowest ebti
when everything is gone. 1t is sadly trdes
that under the rule of the :" almighty dol
lar, the possession of patronage is regarded
among us Us the chief ornament, and its
loss as the chief defect, of the Executive
1t viii continue to be so as long as bread is
held to be the proper reward of political
virtue and partizan fidelity.

PROyIDENCE.-'.Wh hat il strange Provi-
dence that mother should be taken from
her children Was it Providence Noi
Providence had assigned her three score
Years and tca--a term long enough to rear
her children but she did not obey the laws
on which lie depends, and, of course, she
lost it. \ father, too, is cut OIL in the midst
of his days. He is a useful and distinguish
ed citizen, and eminent in bis profession. A
General buzz arises on every side ''What
a striking Providence The man has been
in the habit Of studying half of the night; in
passing his days in his office, or i'll the courts; :;
of eating luxurious dinners, and drinking
various kinds Of wine. He has every day
violated the laws on which health depends.
Did Providence cut him off The evil
rarely ends here. The diseases OF the father
are often transmitted; aud Il feeble mother
rarely leaves behind her vigorous children.
1t has been customary, in some of our large
cities, for some young ladies to walk in thin
shoes and delicate stockings in nid-winter.
\ healthy, blooming young girl thus dressed
in violation Of heaven laws, paid the pen
alty-a checked circulation, colds, fever,
death. "What sad Providence " exclaim-
ed her friends. Was it Providence, or her
own folly Look at the mass Of diseases
that are incurred by intemperamce in eating
and drinking, in study OF business; by
neglect of exercise, cleanliness, and pure air
by indiscreet dressing, tight-lacing, etc; and
all this is quietly imputed to Providence /;
Is there not impiety as well as ignorance in
this Were the physical laws strictly OBJ
served from generation TO generation there
would be an end TO the frghtful diseases
that cut life short, and of the long list of
maladies that make life a torment or trial.
1t is the opinion of those who best under
stand the physical system, that this wonder
tnI machine, the body, this . goodly temple, y
would gradually decay and men would die
as if falling asleep.-4Miss Sedgicich
