The Emperor Napoleon's Visit to his
Former Prison.

At Port Louis the Emperor visited the
room where he had been a prisoner, and he
afterwards, on the ramparts, pointed some
guns with considerable success. His Males
ty then entered into the castle, where an al
fectionate scene took place between the En-
peror and Mad. Perreaux, the widow of an
old engineer of the Guard, who, while His
Majesty was residing at Port Louis, devoted
to him all the care of mother. The atfec-
tionate manner IN which Mad. Perreaux ex-
pressed to the Emperor her JOY at seeing him
again before she died, and the Kindness with
which His Majesty replied TO her, drew tears
from the eyes of all present The Emperor
inquired with the deepest solicitude into the
position of Mad. Perreaux, and on being in
formed that she had two children, one OF
them a sc goant major in the Engineers at
the siege of Constantine, and that she was
in rather straitened circumstances from hav-
ing large family to bring up, His Majesty
promised TO secure their future welfare, and
left the place followed by tie benedictions
of those who had been rendered happy by
his visit.

NBLAcK's FIGUREs.-Thc Lect mptonites
in this section, when they attempt to figure
up tile majorities which they claim for their
favorite, find rather . startling majority
against them in the counties Of Spencer,
Posey, yanderburgh and Gibson. They
then reason this way-Niblack will get a
large number Of Republican votes in Knox,
because he resides here. And, further, they
look for great gain in the other part of the
district, owing to the apathy of the opposi-
ton. They say that many Republicans will
stay away from the polls and that every
such cause counts two for Niblack. If this
state Of things exist they reason correctly.
But does it exist ? Are the Republicans OF
the district lukewarm upon the subject OF
the present canyas2 We think not. II they
are it is time they were aroused, to see
their duty, and to action in the struggle.
Th,re is not only chance, but very
fair one, that Hovey will he elected by a
respectable majority.
So far as Republicans in Knox county
going for Niblack, it is all in your eye,
except perhaps in very few instances. Let
not our friends in other counties be alarmed
ut the great majority in Knox for Niblack
If he has a majority at all, it will be very
small TmeeRnes Gazette.

A MATTER DEMANDING PUBLIC ATrENTl

A MATTER DEMANDING PUBLIC ATTENTION.
The former State Treasurer bought Col.
Allen Mays drafts on New York, on the
pretence of transferring the State funds to
that city to pay the interest on the State
bonds to the amount of $4,000. These
drafts came back under protest, and the mat
ter was fixed up by taking the paper of
Col. May, James Drake, Jesse d. Bright,
and Mr. c. Bright, as principal and sccuri-
ties. This paper has been held by the State
and counted as part of the assets in the
treasury ever since, though no effort is made
to enforce its collection. 1t has been renew
ed and changedin various WAYS, We are in
formed, till Jesse d. Bright has managed to
get released from his liability ON it, but the
others are still held, and are legally liable
for the debt. The Lafayette Journal says:
1t is reported in Columbus in this State
that the Bright wing of the Lecompton par
" are down ON Aquilla Jones, State Treas
urer, because he wanted NJ. G.. Bright sued
for the $4,000, which Allen May, James
Drake, Jesse d. and NJ. G.. Bright borrowed
from the State Treasury. 1t is also said that
Attorney General Mcdonald has refused or
neglected to bring suit on this claim OF the
State, although it has been in his hands for
that purpose about eighteen months.
Unless the next Legislature DO some thing
to enforce the collection of this debt, the
political clique that manages the Treasury
will give these State debtors release.

SLAVERY. IN YrRGryIA.-Mr. james, tn,

SLAVERY, IN VRGTyIA.-Mr. James, the
eminent noreiist, gives the following as his
impressions of negro slavery and negroes:
Negro life in Virginia., says Mr.. James,
differs very little, believe, from the negro
life all through the South. In return for
food, clothing, houSe-room, medical attend
ancc, and support in old age, about one-third
of the labor which is required of white
man in most countries is demanded of the
black. lie performs it badly, and would not
perform il ut all if he were not compelled.
The rest of his time is spent in singing,
dancing, laughing, chattering, and bringing
up pigs and chickens. That negroes are
the worst servants in the world, every man,
| believe, but thorough bred Southern
man, will admit but the Southerner has
been reared amongst them from his child
hood, and in general has tenderness and
affection for them of which Northern men
can have no conception. Great care is TAX
en- by the law to protect them against OPP
preston and wrong; and after six years
residence in the State, can safely say
never saw more than one instance ofcruelty
toward negro and that was perpetrated 10y
a foreigner. That there may still he evils
in the system which might be removed by
law, and that there may be individual in
stances of oppression and even bad treat,
ment, do not deny; but those instances ART
not so frequent as those of cruelty to wife
or child in Northern lands as displayed
every day by the newspapers; and in point
of general happiness, it would not be amis'
to alter an old adage, and say AS merry
as n negro slave must not pursue thi:
branch of the subject farther, for can pre-.
tend to no great love for DR.. Livingstone
friends, the MakololoS. There are, beyond
all doubt, some very excellent people among
them but as race, the more see of then
! the less do think them capable of civiliza
ton, or even fitted to take care of them
I selves.

A Trap.


In 1851, Mr.. Calhoun introduced int the
Q. s. Senate series Of resolutions defining
the powers of the general Government, and
the rights of the people of the States and
Territories; among them was the following,
which declares in broad and distinct terms,
the modern principles Of popular sovereign
"; and gives some coaatcnancc to the doc
trines Of the bred Scott decision
Resolued, That any attempt of Congress
to abolish slavery in any Territory of the
United States in which it exists, would
create serious alarm and just apprehension
in the States sustaining that domestic insti-
tetion, and would be violation of good faith
towards the inhabitants of any such Terri
tory who have been permitted to enter
with and hold slaves therein because the
people of any such Territory have not asked
for the abolition of slavery therein; and be-
cause pkea any such Territory shall admitted
into the Union as State, the people thereof
ctusiUeiy for themselves.
This resolution was adopted in the Senate
by vote of H1ty.fVe to nine. Those who
voted for it were Allen, Bayard, Benton,
Black, Brown, Buchanan, Calhoun, Clay of
Alabama, Clay of KY, Crittender, Cuth-
bert, Fulton, Grundy. Hubbard, King,

inson, Sewer, Smith, of Conn, Strange,
Walker, White, Williams, Wright and
Young. 4 list Of most eminent conServa-
tive Wings and Democrats. Last Saturday
the anti-LecomptonD Democrats of Yigo-coun-
ty, held Convention and, without indica-
ting its source, extracted this old resolution
of the Senate and placed it bodily in theiT
platform. On its appearance in that conven-
ton the Republicans seized upon it, and de-
nounced it as containing most "abominable
doctrines of political ethies'-as "recogniz-
ing the principles maintained in She Drs&
