The Imported Slave Cargo.

1t. has been denied that the bark Fan
dersr recently landed cargo of Africans,
fresh from their own country, on the
Georgia coast, and that they have been
distributed around among the interior
plantations, Some of the Georgia pa.
pers say that they have the evidence that
such thing did occur. An Augusta
paper says :.sr =. -. @r-#.
One Of our citizens has bought a slave
from the lot recently landed just below this
city, for which he paid $3.50. He is a
stout boy, about fourteen years old, and
considerable curiosity has been manifested
this morning to see the distinguished vis-
itor." -...... o.. ...
The Columbus (Ga Enquirer says:
One of the negroes from the Wanderer
was brought tc this city on Monday, by a
gentleman who obtained him from the
lot carried up the Savannah River. He
is represented to be likely and very
tractable young fellow.
The Augusta Dispatch Of the l 5th inst.
says: .-.- ...-...-... ....... ....sE .,
Two hundred and seventy of the car.
go of Africans. landed near Brunswick
we're brought up the Savannah River and
put. ashore yesterday evening, about three
o'clock, at the mouth of Horse Greek
three miles below this city, on the Caro-.
lima side. One of the river boats is sup,
posed to have taken them from the boat
which brought them by Savannah in the
night, TO a point twelve miles above that
city. We learn, On good authority that
the original cargo consisted of four hun.
dred and twenty, and that not one of them
died or was seriously i'll on the. passage
Il is supposed that the Wandcrer acted
only as o decoy boat, and that the vesse
that brought them is at large. Citizens
of our city are probably interested in the
enterprise, and those brought up the rive,
are supposed to he their share Of "phe
1spoils,n, and have been distributed on theil
plantations. 1t is quietly limited that this

Utah.

Order reigns in Utah, and the policy
of the President has been eminently sue
cessful in regard to the affairs of that
once perplexing territory. The people
have evinced desire to be on the best
terms with the army and United States
officials. So much is this the case, that
Brigham Young has excommunicated at
one fell swoop $50 of the faithful, many
of them being females. Despite the pro-
hibitions of the Bishops and Elders, the
sex will be on speaking terms with the
men and officers of our gallant little
army. o.
Gall in the merry month of May,
When bees from flower to flower do hum
And soldiers thro' the town march gay,
The village girls will follow the drum. .
Brigham Young has been subpenued
to attend before the Grand Jury of the
United States Court. He keeps himself
still shut up in the Lion House, surround
ed by body guard. 1t was reported
that he would refuse to obey the order Of
the Court; but the process of the Court
will be enforced, should that be the case
Joe Young, one of Brigham's sons, had
had difficulty with gentle store keeper
of the city. Joe was drunk and insolent
whereupon the storekeeper put him out o.
his place. Outside Joe mounted his horse
drew pistol and cut up a good many
capers. lie was taken away by his bro.
ther before he had done any mischief.

French Intrlgues IN Mexico

The Mexico correspondent Of the New
Orleans Picayune says the French Min
lister at that city is known to be an active
and mainaprop Of the present Mexican
Government, which is now engaged in .
desperate struggle with the opposition for
the ascendency. This fact, together with
the presence of a large French squs-
dron in the Gulf of Mexico, and the talk
of sending military force to Central
America, looks suspicious of French in
teryention in American affairs.

4 New Chess Champion Wanted for
England. ~

We cannot bat deplore the humilitat- /,
ing position into which English chess
players have been plunged by the pro-
ceedings of their champion, Mr.. Stauntou
towards his American rival, Mr.. iMorphr.
This gentleman crossed the = Atlantic in
the most chivalrous manne-, with the dee
termination of "trying fell" with the
European ma rs of the game, and i'm
mediately on his Ian ling threw down his
glove to Mr. Siaunton in particular to
whom he al o we'd his own t,rms,) nnd in
the meantime was ready to play all COM
.ers Nothing conld be more straight
forward than Mr.. Morphy's conduct
throughou the long period of time i'm
which ne has been kept in suspense and
during which he has displayed an amount
of patience and good temper only to be
equalled by himself when fairly engaged
aver the board. On the other hand We
are driven to the contemplation of the
shifts to which Mr.. Staupton has been in-
duced to resort, the condemnation Of
which is shared by nearly all the leading
players both in Paris and London.
For him the excuse may possibly be-
made that he could not afford to risk his
position as the acknowledged head Of
English chess; but no apology can atone
for the attitude which he has assumed to-
wards Mr. Morphy from the moment that
he found there was a certainty of being
brought to, or compelled to come to def
mite conclusion; and, SO far from his ma
neuvres being successful, they have had
quite an opposite effect. A new cham
p on must be sought for; but we can hard
ly expect to meet with a player of Mr..
Morphy's strength in our hour of need,
and We are afIaid that Europe, as we'll as
England, must bow the neck to Ameri-
ca aud acknowledge themselves beaten
