AN IRISH SLAVE TRADEn

Mn. MITCHELL, the Irish editor of paper nov
published at Washington and called "Thc .Soutler,
Citizen" gets Of the following strange announce
mcnt of bis position on the African question:
We intend to divide tho South, rather than let
the South be united in submission. We intend fur.
ther to do the very thing you cry out against 20
earnestly-thnt is to dwell upon the African slave
trade as democratic question:. question whether
the broad lands of the beautiful South are to be for
tho American people, or for few capitalists who have
monopoly of the only labor that can make them
vaiunble We announce ourselves as an organ of the
mean white party, and shn do our utmost to excite
violent animosty in tho poorer class against the
rIcher-f the richer persist in refusing US negroes
tho Ashanteo prices"
This paragraph VIC find going tho rounds Of tho
press, as m extract from the Citizen. IF Mr..
MITCHELL wrote it, We suppose he means what he
says; for he is downright Irishman. But what are
the Southern people to think Of comparative xtran.
ger, who thus threaten, to SOW deep di.scn.ious
amongst them?
And furthermore, where is that meanwhile par
ty' Of whom the Ciisc" proposes to become tn. self
constituted organ?

Oh bright is the water that flows from the fountain

But purer than snowflake, and brighter than water
In beauty e1celling,-is somebody's daughter;

But modesty blushing,-is Beautiful Sallis.
Oh blest are the hours which fly in the bowers
Where goldcn.tinged sunbeams rejoicingly play,
Where richest of perfumes arise from the flowers
Whom birds sing requiem over the day;
But better than bowers or flowers of Aidenn,
And brighter than sunbeams, II know young maiden
And sweeter than roses, where humming birds daily
To drink their rich nectar,-is Beautiful Sallie.
Oh frosh are the Sroezes which blow in the morning
And bright is the dew on tho grass by the rills,
When frat comes the Day beam with glory adorning
And gliding and painting the valleys and hill, .

And fresher and fairer,-is somebody's sister;

HORSE THIEVES.

Two horse thieves were lodged in the jnil OF this
district on Saturday last. Their story runs thus
They are brothers, named JONES' and citizens of Fir-
ginia, connected with the F. F. VS. Of that ancient
commonwealth. Travelling South, they got out Of
funds. In Columbia, they stole horse and mulo
to enable them to make headway in their tour. Reach
ing EdeeGcld District their mule took sick and they
had to lenve him on the roadside. Proceedings few
miles, they arrivedat Mr. VIZ. ToyEY's; 1t was night
and nobody was up on the premises. Not wishing to
disturb the family unnecessarily, they entered tho
horse lot and took mule to supply the place of the
one just left behind. fy followed them out of the
lot and went on in company. One of the gentlemen
then concluded to 60 and look once more after the
sick mule; found him 50 far eonralcscent MS to DO
able to proceed on the journey; and took him along
out of pity So they all went their way rejoicing
and whickcring cover into the State Of Georgy"-
whether beyond the "big Kioky" or not is unknown
to us at this writing.
But the next morning early, after tho last thoft
Mr.. ToyEY nwoks and missed his mule. He
saw tho tracks and followed in pursuit, accom-.
panied by Mr. LAnkIS SwEARINGES: In couple Of
days, their chase resulted in capturing tho entire
travelling party, men, mules, horse and flly. All
arrived safely back at this point on Saturday. How
much of truth thcre may be in the statement Of the
thieves, it is of impossible to say We give it
in tho hope that it will lead to further discoveries
Pass around the story, brethren of the preas and lei
US hear if any of you know aught Of these Virgins
gentlemen. Perhaps thoir tale may lead to the tra
cling out of other thieves and thieveries.
