II. G,
ANDREW p. CALHOUN name of
this gentleman is being suggested by many
of the press of South Carolina for the next
Governor of that State We have known
Dir. Q. long, and we believe, well. He is
possessed of all the requisite qualities which
we consider essential to fit man to rule
over the State The early portion of his
life was spcnt in agricultural pursuits in
the cancbrake portion of Alabama; but
since the death of his father, he has re.
turned to and been resident of his native
state. where he is reclaiming aud cultiva-
ting the soil that first knew him. He has
we believe, never aspircd to Office, but on
several occasions has refused promotions,
prcferlug home and rural life to the dirty
pool ofpolitics. Such men are fit to govern
the State, and we shall be gratified to see
the people of his native State honor them
selves by placing him in the executive
chair Co(ambus SIN
PLYMoUTH, June The African Steam
Navigation Compapy's packet Ethiopo,
Commander Croft, arrived at midnight
with later advccs from the West Coast of
Africa
In consequence of information received
at Monrovia, Commander Croft left in the
Ethiope on the 18th of April and on the
10th fell in with the French ship Cccli Re-
gina, 40 tons, in possession of large num-
bcr OF negroes, who were not able to man
age her. After parlcy, the second officer
of the Ethiope, with part of the crew,
went on board, when about $50 of the ne
grocs swan to the shore, where nearly the
whole were murdered by the Captain fthc
French ship and the natives 1t appears
that the CGli Regina, which is completely
fitted for the slave trade, had been cruising
Tor month near Cape Palmas, and, under
pretencc of taking them to better place,
had secured 500 negroes, who were imnc-
diately placed between dccks-many of
them in irons. When the Captain (Simon)
was ashore, and part of the crew in n boat
alongside, the negroes procured firearms,
and shot all but the doctor and two of the
seamcn, whom they retained to steer the
ship. Capt. Simon came within gunshot
several times aftcrward, but was not allowed
to come on board. The Cnli Regina was
towed into Monrovia, where she was left in
the possession of the Purser of the Ethiona.
AN AMERICAN Boy IN MEXICO. We
learn from Mexican paper that rcncon-
tire had occurred on the Pasco, (the public
drive of Mcxieo,) between an Englishman
named Buchanan and Mr. John FORSYTH.
jr., son of the American Minister, the cir
cumstances of which arc as follows:
Young Forsyth repelled some offensive
familiarity of the Engishnan, to which the
latter made an Insulting rcionder, where
upon the former made a demonstration ot
the Englshman, and collision took place.
They were both mounted, and the English
man, who was both much the larger man
and mounted upon larger animal, rode at
and attempted to ride down young FORSYTH
who the while had lashed the Englshman
with his whip, finding he was no match for
his adversary on horseback, dismountcd
quickly, and handing his rein to by.stan.
der, challenged Buchanan to alight and
fight him on foot. This Buchanan deciin-
cd and rode off They met again after a
while, and, upon the reconHe choral being
renewed, young Forsyth again dismountcd
and drawing his knife started at the En-
glishman, who prccipitatey fed, Forsyth
after him, until number of gentlemen in
tcrfored and begged him to dcisist, as the
Pasco was not proper place for fighting,
WE learn that official adyiccs from Eng
land, received by the last arrival, reitcratc
friendly sentiments toward this country,
disayow intentional offence against it's flag
and state that orders have been issued by
the British Government to discontinue the
visits of its cruisers which have recently
given offence to ourpcople That Govern
ment, we learu, does not insist on visitation
or scarchlasa a right, but, regarding both
nations as solicitous to put an end to the
African slave trade, it desires mutual un-
derstanding or arrangement as to the proper
and most unacceptable manner of ascert,inine
the character of suspected slayers. The
whole tenor of tho dispatches is such, We
are informed as Ia recnpilize tho doctrine
