The subject Of poisoned cheese" has been
investigated by physicians and chemists at
the North. The mystery is not yet solved.
In tn. sixth London edition of Taylor's
Medical Jurisprudence, published in 1888,
(page lj77,) is the following Cheese has
frequently given rise t" symptoms Of poison
ing in Germany, but there is, | believe, no
instance OF its having proved fatal in Eng
land The symptoms produced by the cheese
have been those of irrtant poisoning. The
nature of the poison is unknown. In some
cases the irritant property is undoubtedly
due to the putretied state Of the curd. Again,

ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE AND VIRGINIA Observation-Disclosures
4 writer in the Savannah Republican

A writer in the Savannah Republican
closes long article on the proposed revival
of the slave trade, as follows
In conclusion, allow me to assure the
friends of law and humanity throughout the
country, that a countless majority Of the peu-
pile of Georgia are opposed to all attempts at
re-opening the African slave trade. The
history of the late Wanderer case fully proves
the truth of this assertion. Under the ban
of public opinion, the poor iugtives, in small
parties, have been spirited about ill secret
trom place To place, without finding purcha-
sers, until, by the last reports, almost all had
been carried beyond the confines of our State.
No one knows who their owners are, neither
do they dare to expose them for sale openly.

parture Of q party Of fillibuster. The only
uuthentic ocrouut 10 the possession Ut The
Government, is that they eh on tug boaV
about ten miles above New Orleans, but
which could not convey them TO the place
of their destination. They doubles ex-
pected to be taken on board larger and
more suitable steamer.
In the meantime collector Hatch, bis
deputies, and other federal officers, are, ac-
cording TO their Instructions, reporting to
every legitimate means TO intercept the fil-
libusters. In addition to other measures,
vessels have been despatched for that pur-
pose.
While these things are progressing near
New Orleans, information has been received
that u number of fillbusters are in Mobile,
some of whom were prominent in the Susan
fllibustering expedition, which vessel, 1t
will be recUlected, was wrecked at Goyer'S
Reef
The federal officers there have been in
structed to watch their movements aud act
accordingly. The success Of the expedition
is not considered promising but should the
adventures invade Nicaragua aud inter
rupt the Transit, there is reason to believe
that our federal forces would promptly III
ttpose the power found in the Lamur Zelu'
don treaty aud to its exercise Nicaragua
would have no objection.
