SOUTHERN FIRE.EAFERs. - The Louisville

going right out of the Union at once unless the

lighted with the submission Of that constitution

A private letter from Col. Drew, agent of
the Indian tribes of Minnesota, contains in
telligence of the renewal of hostilitiss between
the sioux and Chippewas. On the night of
the 9th ult., band of Sioux attacked a par
ty of Cbippewas encamped on an island in
the Mississippi. near Crow Wing, and mas
sacred men, women, and children. The bodies
of the killed were awfully mutiated. 1t is
feared that the disturbances will become gen.
eral, and bloody Indian war is anticipated.
Col. DIS letter says that the Chippewas have
sworn revenge, and it was thought that it
would be impossible to prevent hostile meet
ing between the two tribes. The spring plant
ing had not been commenced, and the annuity
goods had not yet been distributed.

The CANKER WoRM.-The canker worm
has agBin commenced its ravages upon the
half expanded leaves of the apple, cherry,
plum, and elm. They may be discovered in
very minute state upon leaves which betray
their presence, by the punciure that has al
ready been made, though they have but Just
left the small clusters Of eggs that have, not
withstanding our assduous tarring and oiling
applications, been spread obscurely upon the
branches by the pertinacious instinct Of the
mother.grubs. The eldest Of this delicate off.
spring were born about last Friday, and are
consequently four days old, and others afe
daily being Matched. They draw up their
little backs and measure out their tracks with
the same deliberate measurement that their
elders did last year. They will now eat vora-
ciously for four or five weeks, when they will
at last snap the silken cord with which they
cling TO the branches, fall to the ground, and
buuow in the earth, as their fathers and
mothers did before them.--Salem Gazette,

The SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL CONVENTION
held at Montgomery, Ala, was of less impor-
lance than its predecessors. 1t was occupied
nearly the whole week in debating the ques-
ton of the African slave trade, Mr.. Spratt of
South Carolina having presented report in
vindicaton of that piracy. William l.. YAM
cey of Alabama was especially violent in de-
fence of the slave trade, and abused the Vir-
ginia delegates roundly for opposing it, telling
them they were governed by selfish regard to
the slave breeding interest of Virginia, and
that the foreign is no worse in principle than
the domestic slave trade-which is all quite
true. He also upbraided Virginia with the
emancipation proclivites of her great men,
Jefferson and Madson-he might also have
included Washington-and with tolerating Eli
Thayer's colonization project for abolltioniz.
ing the state. The approaching caused much
ill-feeling in this convention. The conven-
ton, in fact, became so inharmonious that
the Tennessee delegates left on the third day
In disgust. They declared that from being
commercial conventions these meetings had
deRenerated into mere political cluos.
Fibuster Walker was received by the
convention with great enthusiasm, and re-
port on the Americanization of Mexico aud
Central America was adopted. IL was a GOV.
ert sanction OF flibustering. Walker spent
much time in private conference with the
leading delegates, explaining new scheme
he has in process of incubation. The next
meeting Of the convention will be at Vcks-
burg, Miss, on the second Monday of MAY
next. by that time the hre-eaters will have
agreed upon q scheme for the revival OF the
slave trade, aud will very likely be in con-
dition to dictate It to the democratic party as
test question for 1860. --SpriagGeid Repubi 4.

The MEANNBss OF THE SLAVE PowER.-
William M. Connolly, reporter for the
Daily Press, has been convicted at Cincinnati
of harboring fugitive slaves, and may be fined
$1,000 and imprisoned six months for the Of
fence. 1t appears that Connelly took two
fugitive slaves to his room and fed them
there, knowing that the slave. hunters were
alreadyin the city in pursuit of them. A de-
putty marshall and his posse forcibly broke
into the room and captured the negroes, seri
ously wounding one of them with pistol
shot, reeklessly fred into the room. There is
no doubt that Connolly violated the provisions
of the fugitive slave act by his hospitality to
the negroes. So much the worse for the law
and for the men who in free and Christian
city consent to administer it, and become in
struments of the slave power in Furnishing a
man for deed OF common humanity, such as
decent man would not deny to a hunted
dog. The whole transaction is a mean and
disgraceful one. 1t is despicable business for
northern man to assist in any way in the
catching of negroes. It. is infinitely more SO
for northern men to aid in the punishment of
one of their own citizens for an act of kind
ness to the hunted slaves. Whit if the law
does demand it There is no ueed that any
man should volunteer to do bad and mean
: action because the law demands that it shall
be done. There ought to be such a public
sentiment in the free States that it shall be
impossible to find judge, jury, OF officer, that
will not sooner resign his position than have
anything to do with the punishment OF such
a man as Connolly, for such an offence
