TIE Return Of the Africans Home.

The Niagara anchored off MOnrovia with the
negroes of the SLAYER Echo, who had survived the
trip to and from this country, on the 30th of
October Of the 367 persons brought by the
Echo, from Cape LOprez, whence she sailed on
the 4th of July, 1858, but 200 lived to be landed
at Monrovia. The negroes and their baggage,
consisting ofbIankets, bags, &c, were landed
in boats, and turned over to Mr. Dennis, the
Agent of the Colonization Society, who seemed
very glad to recelvethem. The negroes did not
manifest any special JOY at being returned to
their native Africa, though they were tenderly
received and located in clean and commodious
quarters, where the emapcipated creatures
would want for nothing A gentleman on the
Niagara writes;
That the influence which the mission we
have Just concluded, will exercise on other ma
tions cannot be other than advantageous and
creditable to US, has been sufficiently proved by
the courteous manner in which we have been
treated by the representatives of other powers
during our cruise. At MonrOvia, the President
of Liberia and several of the most distinguished
citizens of that Republic boarded us, and gratu-
lated in eulogistic terms our country for thus
showing such an example to the world"

The surviving Heroes of the War of 1872 re-

number of about fifty, assembled It PAinesvlile
on the IIth, and had a spirit-stirring time
They paraded in the morning under the star
spangled banner they had guarded with honor
on the battle-felds of the Northern frontier
nearly half century ago, which was borne IN
the procession by Capt HARVEY HUNTooN, OF
Lake who enlisted on the declaration oi War;
at the age of fifteen, and served his country
faithfully until Peace was proclaimed. The vet
erans who were able to march kept time to the
oil fghtinq music of drum and fife, the bass
drum beat by CoRBIN HUNTooN, drummer IN
the War, the fife played by his son, and the
kettle drum by a grandson, while the lame and
decrepid rode in big wagon from the rendez-
vous to the Court House. The procession OF
venerable men-mostly New Englanders,
number the hardy, intrepid, and stalwart sons
of New Hampshire when the call Of their cOuR-
trv 10 arms was heard and obeyed-the ear
piercing fife and the rattling drum-the anima-
ted eye and the sOldierly tread, albeit less vig-
orous than when marching to Plattsburg and
Niag1ra-attractedm much attention and profound
respect as the relics of the glorious army of gal

The Old Soldiers Meeting was organized by
the appointment of Capt. BENJAMIN ADAMS, of
Lake, President, and Judge HARRIS, of Paines-

by the President and others, resolutions were
reported and adopted, and memorial was ad-
dressed to Congress on the subject of pensions.

now short with the surviving Soldiers to whom
the country owes some more substantial ac-
Acknowledgement than has yet been made

The Port snrnia Homicide

The examination of Deputy S. S. Marshal
Tyler, at Detroit, for the shooting of Capt. Jones
of the brig Concord, did not take place last
week, owing to the absence of U. S. Commits
sioner Bull. The case was postponed to await
his return.
The Toronto Globe of the llth, states that
Mr.. W. S. Noad, of Toronto, on behalf of the
Cleveland Board of Trade, has presented to his
Excelency their memorial, requesting that the
recent act of PIRACY and murder" by U. S.
Marshal. at Port Sarnia, be dealt with by the
Canadian authorities The Toronto Colonist
of the 9Th has the following
TAG JONES MURDER AT SARNIA-We pub
lished some days ago the proceedings OF meet
inc Of the Cleveland Board of Trade, at which
an address to His Excellency was adopted,
praving him that immediate steps might be
taken TO obtain the surrender of Tyler, and
hiring him to trial for his crime We are happy
to he able to inform our readers that Immedi
ately after the occurrence took pace, Alfred
Fisher, ESQ of Sarnia, the magistrate before
whom the depositions were taken, issued
warrant for Tyler's arrest and at once came to
Toronto himself with the papers. Complete IN
formation was thus laid before the Executive dI
the earliest possible moment, and His Excel
encv at once wrote to the British Ambassador
at Washington, TO obtain the surrender Of Ty-
Ter. now in Jail at Detroit 1t will thus be seen
that neither on the part of the local authorities,
nor on that of the Government has there been
any delay in taking with all possible despatch
the proceedings required by the exigency Of the
case.
We trust that the people of Cleveland and De
troit will see from this that the confidence they
have expressed in the vigor and readiness otthe
Canadian Government was not misplaced.
The Detroit Tribune counsels fairness and
great care on the part of our government au-
thorities, and compliments the Canadian Gov
ernment for its prOmptness in its former
rendition offugitives from justice. Itwell adds
While, then, we should protect our own clll-
zens to the extent Of treaty stipulatiOns, openly
and fairly, resort to trickery and the mockery
of expedients to screen any person from the
penalty of violated Canadian law will certainly
work disastrously to the present peace and Sc
curity Of both governments. Nothing OF that
kind we ardently hope will be resorted to. If
it should be, it would do much to destroy that
friendly feeling existing on either side OF the
line, besides encouraging crime and the hope Of
escape on both sides Let no such breach as
that be made between two countries.

Two Years, Changes in Congress

Col. Forney, in i letter from Washington
thus spelks of the absence of familiar faces from
Congress:
| l miss many familiar faces-many whom
| knew only few short years ago in the other
hall. The veteran Quitman, with his grey
mOustache and heavy beard, and military air,
and warm, generous heart, has been called away.
| The manly form of Thomas H. Bayly, of Vir-
| ginia, has vanished from the scene. The merry
| face and eloquent voice of poor Presby Ewing
are cold and silent in his early grave. The
beaming countenanee and jOcund laugh of gen.
| iaI Jack Ogle are quenched and lost forever
Thos L. Harris, ''the pure in heart, the fair in
form," sleeps his last sleep under the freshly
broken sod of the valley.
| The noble form of Macy, of Wisconsin, is
seen no more; Dawson, of Louisiana; Brooks,
Of South Carolina; Hackett of Georgia; Fowler,
of Massachusetts; Dunn, of Indiana, have de-
parted and the seats they once filled shall know
them no more. The young Breckenridge, of
| Kentucky, now sits in the Vice Presidential
cnair in the Senate of the United States CO.
lionel Preston, the polished representative, in
1854 from the Louisville district, is here await
inc his credentials as Minister at the Spanish
Court, Clingman, of North Carolina, now sits IN
the Senate Ashe, of the same State, is at
present the head of a railroad company at VIII
mingtOn. Henry May and r. W. McLane are
practicing their profession at the Baltimore bar.
Vansant is selling hats at his fashionable store
in the same city. F P. Stanton is praetition
er at the Supreme Court in this city. Faran
is Postmaster at Cincinnati. MIR. Donald is
collector at Portland; Hart surveyor at New
York; Penn, superintendent of the public build
ings at New Orleans; Riddle, private citizen
at Wilmington, Delaware; Hubbard, hard at work
as New Hampshire lawyer; and of the other
absentees we hear only now and then as the
events of the day bring them to the surface of
politics Some of the old stagers, however,
remain. notice Geo ". Jones, of Tennessee;
George S. Huston, Alabama Bocock, of Vir-
ginia; Humphrey Marshall, of Kentucky; Gid
dings, of Ohio; Orr, of South Carolina, (the
Speaker.) But new men are constantly coming
forward, as the grave or private life demands
the withdrawal of the veterans from the stage
of action. What difference two years make
in such body

Coming Round Right.

Mr.. Morris, one of the Democratic members
of the House from Illinois who opposed Le'
compton to the ''bitter end" has taken steT
in the right direction the present session. lie

act authorizing the people of the several or,
ganized Territories of the United States to pro

the appointment or election their Governors

such manner as said legislatures may by law
determine"
This is just the Popular Sovereignty the
Republicans contend for, and which the people
of the Territories have the right to demand
Such law would have saved Kansas from all
the turmoil and bloodshed witnessed in that
outraged Territory, and President Buchanan

pie of the territory to do just what Congress
has power to do, and STRIPS the President of the

The despatch of the 18th to the Tribune has
the following items of interest:
The despatch announcing that the yacht
Wanderer, commanded by Capt Corrie, had
landed a cargo of slaves from Africa in Sa'
vannah River, has caused great sensation here
where Mr. Corrie is well known. If the state
ment be true, it will bring the Administration
at once to an issue with the party in the South
which advocates the re-opening of the slave
trade.
The majority of the Finance Committee o.
the Senate, of which Mr.. Hunter is Chairman
is said to be opposed to any modification.
Mr.. J. Clancy Jones' confirmation as Minis
ter to Vienna is reported to be somewhat
doubtful.
Nothing is known here relative to Lord Ma
piers recall. The Democratic leaders expires:
regret at the news of his recall, as his sympa
thies and associations have been notoriously
with them on the Pro Slavery side.
Douglas is expected here about the 2Oth IN
slant
The recent intelligence from Nicaragua has
produced much excitement. While the board
ing of the steamship Washington by British
officers is discredited by gentlemen of high Po
sition, others believe it, as revival of the righ
of search, threatening the most serious eonse
quences.

Interesting Foreign News.

The telegraph report of the news by the
Persia was unusually meager, while the advices
from Europe possess more than ordinary inter
est. The Persia sailed from Liverpool, Nov
9th, and had long passage. Up to that TINT
nothing had been heard of the missing steam
ship Indian Empire, and her loss with all OIL
board is seriously apprehended.
Numerous disastrous shipwrecks had occur
red on the English coast. Others are reported
from the Mediterranean, and still others from
the southwestern coast OF China.
The death of Admiral Lord Lyons is an
nounced from England, and that OF M Boulay
de lie Meurthe from France. The intelligence
of T. ord Napier's removal to Berlin 10 confirm
ed The Hon. Richard Lyons, now Lord Ly'
ons, had been appointed his successor; but il
is still unknown how far his accession to the
Peerage may influence his acceptance or de
clenson. The trial of NJ. de Montalember
had resulted in his conviction, and that of hi:
publisher. The Count was sentenced to SIX
months imprisonment, and to fine of 5000
francs. The London Press Is severe in Its
structures upon the proceedings.
One of the young English Princes is to visit
the Canadas. The steamship Great Eastern is
soon to be made ready for sea. Her first trip
will probably be to Portland next Summer. Il
was reported at Paris that an Anglo French
fleet would leave on the 18th of December fol
the Gulf of Mexico, well provided against fill
busters. Sr. Ros d'Olano has been appointed
Captain General of Cuba. Gen. Concha will
however, remain until the difficulties with Mex
leo are arranged. Prince Napoleon was about
to resign the Administration of the Colonies
that he might devote himself to the Govern
ment of Algeria.
The subject of the Nicaragua transit occupies
much attention in Europe. There appears tc
be general disposition to check the American
pretensions in that quarter; and to abrogate the
Monroe doctrine.
The Prussian elections had resulted in the
triumph of the Constitutional party. There
was a short crop of tea in China this year. AL
foreigners employed in the Kingdom of Maple:
are to be naturalized.

The PRESIDENT RELENTs.-Forney write S
from Washington that the President has given
up his social prescription of the Republican
Congressman, but without accomplishing any
thing, as will be seen by the extract we aP-
pend
The President has recOnsidered his social pro-
gramme, and yesterday invited number of Re
publicans to take dinner with him. understand
that, like most of the hospitalities, these latter
come "too late, and that the Republicans, hav-
ing been compelled to appease their hunger du-
ring the long session outside the Presidential
mansion, have resolved to appease it in the same
way during the short session. 1t is now given
out that not a single member of the Republican
party will consent to put his legs under the Ex-
ecutive mahogany.

UsE OF OPIUx-Two of the New York pa

to an alarming extent in the United States
The imports and sales of druggists both prove
the facts The import now reaches 2OO,OOU
pounds annually, not e-tenth of which is Te-
quired for medicinal preparations. 1t is assert
ed that the average consumption to the POPula-
tion now equals, if it does not exceed, that used
in China and the Indian Archipelago. The
sales of the druggists in New YoIk and Brook
lyn are found to increase from year to year at a
ratio of about 80 per cent Few consumers OF

He telegraphs as follows
"The teIegraphic despatch sent to some of
