THE AFRICANS.

It ia said that there are two or three hundred Afri
cans of very recent Importation now located in this
District near the Savannah river, and not far below
Hamburg. We have not seen them. But they hare

who has them in keeping Many Surmises are ahoat

to defy tho vigilance Of tho Government ofciuis who

Africans" il rs frequent query in Edgefeld az
