LOUISIANA AND AFR1CANIMPORTA TON
From The y. 0. Delta. Mareh {.

From The v. o. Delta, MdTch
Since more thana year ago, when We commenced
advocating the importation and employment Of Atri-
cane under system familiar TO the English and Span
ish cody system, the idea has made indi.putable
advances toward accomplishment. Convinced that
labor was the great want of the South convinced tina,
Africans, or the descendants Of Africans, could only
safely and effectualy supply the want and convinced
that however wrongfuly the foreign saye-trade was
closed to the South it WAS if not VAN to urge and idle
to expect at least impcc to wait for it's reopenrg,
turned TO the introduction Of voluntary immigrants
from Africa, expeden at once practicable and,
for present necessities sufficient Since then, we say,
the idea has grown apace. Southern men have begun
to thirk upon it, and think in earnest; aud such
thought is the legitimate parent of action. "a men
think, they and do, individually or sggregstely.
If Louisiana thinks African immigration, LOUISIANA
will assuredy enjoy the bel etts of African imnigra
ton. So of Texas so OF Mississippi so Of Alabami,
ard the rect.
That the Louisiana Legislature has been thinking
in this connection, we have lately had some very
wholesome transactions. We have nothing for
some time Of Senator St. Pauls proposition TO suho
rize the Governor to import 5000 free Africans Tha
rather crude shape to put the question III, aud
il is quite probable that il has been withdrawn in
favor Of the bill reported in the telegram Yesterday
having passed the House by large majority, autho
rizipg a company, already organized to import 100
free blacks from the coast IF Africa 10 be indenured
for not less than fifteen years. So far very good. We
trust that the cOtemporaneous movements in this
State and Mississippi in the same direction may lead
to vigorous cooperation of the parties in each State
who may have the execution of the details of the
African immigration project, Nay We d. not why
they could not he advsntageously consolidated in
company, having New-Oreans as ts consultative aud
financial he adquarter-.
OF course there would be legal impediments in
the way Of such association importing free blacks
from Canada, Jamaica or ST. Domingo. Indeed the
lat island, especially j. go near convenient and III
wiling, that it would seem almost like throwing away
adv snage in possession TO pass by and 20 all the
way to Africa. It's black inhabitants are certainly ~
capable of voluntary emigration the native Afr
cans and, for that matter it is every hit proper
subject to be cohonzed, civilized and reclaimed ty
the country along the Zambesi river is to be
pied ard converted by the English into cotton fields
in the name of civilization and the Gospel. Hereby
at least hangs suggestion which will have all the
pith aud substance the more il is ruminatet.

THE BREAK IN THE CABLE. 1t appears
that the Inew shore cable prepared for the
Nalentil end of the Atlantic Telegraph, is
only fifteen or sixteen miles long, and that
the reason why the work of getting it ready
has been delayed, is found in the conviction
that the disturbance in the submerged wire
is more than POO miles from the shore As
the method by which the electricians discov-
cr or conjecture the locality of any rupture
in Geographic wire has often been referred
t.. hut never. 81 far as we are aware. salts
factorily explained 10 the public, We copy
what the London Observer saws ON this
point
''Strange as it may seem, tue electrician
has the power Of ascertaining, by ineanf of
the electric fluid itself, the locality of the
tiny outlet, by which it escapes into the sea.
Some time since most ingenious piece of
mechanism was made, by which the electri-
city could be weighed, the fluid being made
to act upon magnet; and this, upon the
end of "a nicely poised steelyard, would tell
with accuracy the weight of the current
transmitted from the other end of a wire at
a long distance. Following out this expert
ment, we believe first shown by Professor
Faraday, at the Royal Institution, other cleo
tricians have arranged Il very sensitive piece
of machinery, by which the amount OF resist
ance opposed to the passage of the electricity
by the conducting wire may be correctly as
certained. The amount of resistance offered
through the whole length of the Atlantic
cable, or even one-half Of it, is something
very much larger than any which can be
marked by the delicate machinery hitherto
employed upon shorter distances of wire
The consequence is that the electricians
have not yet been able satisfactorily to as
certain the place where the cable is defective
of one thing, however, they are certain, that
is, that the fault does not occur within twen-
ty or thirty miles of the land, and we are in
formed that within the first two or three
hundred miles the continuity is still perfect
and complete. Beyond this distance all is
still doubt and uncertainty, and it is idle at
present to speculate upon the subject
Should the defect be found to exist in the
deep parts of the sea, the public must be
content to hear that for the present the At
llntic Tel graph is f.ilure.'

Mr.. BrcnANAN's TROUBLES The Wash
ington correspondent of The New York
Times writes as follows -
.'Thc chief trouble of the Administration
at tue present time is the lukewarmncss of

assertion this, but it is absolutely true -
There is strong disposition manifested by
Southern journals and statesmen to favor

dsposition-call it ngratitude-makes Mr.
Buchanan sex at heart While he is wac-
ing war for the extrem SITS of the South such
journals as The Richmond Enauirer-old
and inhuential-such statesmen as Senator
Brown Of Mississippi, take part VI it'll Doug
las, and deprecate the course of the Presi-
dents organ, The Union. This is the worst
kind Of mgr ,titude
The President cannot understand how il is
that while he, a Northan man, is devoted to
Slavery that he willingly sacrifices such men
as Douglas and Forney, Southern men do
not n. come up to his support against the nigh
