WHAT G. P. R. JAMES THINKS OF NE
GR0ES. ar.

Mr.. James, the novelist, who has just retired
from the British Consuship at Richmond, Va, is
very popular with his Virginian friends, as may
be inferred from the following record OF his opin
ions on the ubject nearest their hearts:
"Negro life in Virginia." says Mr. james. "dif
lers very litle believe, from the negro life all
through the South. In return for food, clothing,

old age, about onethird of the labor which is re.

rot perform 1t at all if he were not compelled
The rest Of his time is spent in singing, dancing

MIR. ORRS VIEWS OF THE SLAVE TRADE
AND OF TIE DEMOCRACY.

Mr.. Speaker Orr of South Carolina souaetiinv
since made a speech TO his constituents, from
which we extract so much as concerns the ques,
ton of the re-opening of the Foreign Slave Trade
and the indispensable value Of the Northern del
mocracy to the support Of slavery.
In his last annuul nessngc to the Legislature Of
this State Governor Adams broached the subject Of
re-opening the African slave trade. deeply re-.
GREETED to see the subject mooted, Knowing thu.
scheme was wholly impracticable, and Believing
it to be mpolitc, il practicable. It's only effect
was to produce division and discord among the
Southern people. If the scheme Should have apfi.
serve no other purpose than to array portion Of
the South against another, when perfect unanmity
was so desirable.
To demonstrate its impracticabilty, (the lays
prohibiting it are Federal, few days Gftaf the
message was published ! introduced resolution
into the House of Representatives declaring ''that
it was unwise, inexpedient, and contrary to tho
settled policy of the United States to Yepeal the
laws prohibiting the African slave trade" which
was adopted with but eight dissenting votes seven
of whom subsequently declared themselves Oppose
ed to re opening the trade. Is it not folly, then,
to agitate the question, when the only power that

discussion OF the slave trade and the conference

sufficient even in that in1amable body to table
reports and resolutions, it cannot be disguised
that some persons are determined to agitaye the
question and, if possible, divide and DISTRACT
the South on an abstraction. Who, belives

RETTER DAYS COMING.


The above engraving represents newly inven-
ted Burial Case, fashioned 10 accord with the
feelings Of the be, eaved and yet retaining all the
requisites of an appropriate receptacle far the
dead. There is no reason why such recepta ,le
should be made 10 create, by It's appearance, dis.
agreeable sensations, Ii Is enough that we should
be bereaved; and whatever tends to soften or
make less keen the poignancy Of on, grief, COM
mends itself TO our consideration. Somuch that
is repulsive has been discarded in the arrangement
and shape of the above Case, that its name, the
Casket Burial Case, is an involuntary suggestion.
therefore, do not hesitate to aver that theIe has
never been in any thing so entirely chaste,
appropriate, and withal, convenient, as this nven-
ton. Besides this, the Cases being Air Tight,
contagion is prevented, and the process of de-
composition Is often arrested for long time -
In any case where IL is desirable to preserve the
body Of a deceased friend for considerable time,
or to transport the game TO distant place for
sepulchre, they are invaluable II is a well
known fact that many Of the Rail.road Compa-
MES at the West, refuse to transport body, un-
less placed in Metallic Case. The engraving
gives but general idea Of the outline and shape If
the Case. Enough, however, can be gathered
| from II TO form a tolerable conception of its
proportions and general Appearance The skill
and simplicity of finish which it embodies, can
be appreciated only seen in the Case ITSELF
The Case permits view Of the entire body after
it is enclosed, the top being composed of beautiful
french plate glass, sufficiently strong to resist
any internal or external pressure. The glass is
divided into three sections, between two of which
is inserted the name-pate. For each of these
sections of glass there is an elabsratey orramen-
ted cap, one of which may be sesn in its place in

or more of these caps may be kept on, or not, as
desired. The Casket is perfectly air. tight, com.
