by the use of disinfectants which procure q pure

it will be well to take due precautions. For the

best substance is chloride of lime. The powder
is mixed with water to the consistency of cream,
and placed in open vessels in different parts OF
the building. The evolution of chlorine gas is
quickenel by adding little vinegar, or diluted
oil yitriol. Solution of chloride OF lime is made
by mixing pound of the powder with live gal

RE.opEN1NG THE SLAVE TRADE.

The Augusta Dispatch and other ultra jour
mails are commenting with much severity upon
M article in the Richmond Enquirer in opposi'
ton to re-openns the slave trade, il wiich,
among other things, that paper SAYS:
ave can see no 20 "l whatever 10 Dc accom-.
plishel by the coniaael di,cu >sinn nj this qucs
ton. II the cottl;i States are determined to
revive the slave lr.lr, ;a,l thus to destroy the

revival of the slave trade E;rginia hat better
consider tcAether tie South Of tie Northern con-
tstierucy ,could MT he titr more preferable ,for
her than tile NORTH Of the Soathern cOaftderacy."
Now, We confess inability to discover treason
to the principles Of the South in this somewhat
bold position OF the Enquirer. 1t meets rcck-
lessness of agitation that should be killed oil be-
fore further damage is inflicted upon that unity
of sentiment now so happily prevailing ut the
South. Why agitate longer? No plan has been
proposed tuaccomplish the object snggcstcd-no
plan can be devised. The Constitution and
laws are opposed to It. Iou cannot repeal or
modify them. Not Uuly is it impossible, under
the laws to introduce sluces, but 1t is equally so
as.to African apprentices. That has been dc.
termined by the law OH. erS of all Administration
as friendly to the SOUTH confesse.lly, as we have
ever had. Surely it will not be proposed to re-
sort to surrcpttious means. With custom houses
in the hands OF officials sworn not to wink at
illicit trahic-with revenue cutters along our
coast, watching every bay and practicable harbor
10 say nothing OF our cruisers aud those OF
other nstions-capital would never adventure
risk so great to property and honor. But, be.
sides all this, the people among whom it is pro-
posed to introduce these slaves or apprenlicesdo do
not want thcu,-are opposed to The whole scheme
and will continue their opposition. The whole
affair was regarded from the first as All imprac.

failed as to that and We beg the press not to

Democracy in that glorious old State. He is a
native of South Carolina, and on his removal to
Alabama, in Connection with his distinguished
brother, he started weekly newspaperin Dallas
county (the old Cahaba Democrat), which -four
ished finely for number of years, and was f.
naly sold on the removal of the Messrs. 7. to
Wetumpka, where they edited the Argus. Mr..

is man of superior calbre, prominent lawyer,
andpossesses great reasoning powers. His general
bearing and department are such as make friends
for him in any community where he may cast
