slave Trade Really Re-openea.

Mr.. John c.. Understood, who was ex-
lied from Virginia for supporting Fremont,
in 1856, writes as follows TO the editor of
the New York Tribune:
A tour aud sojourn of some weeks in
the South has satisfied me that the scare
ful correspondent of the Herald" whose
opinion you seem to distrust in your paper
of today, is correct in his conclusions, and
deserve the thanks Of every friend of free
dom and humanity for the courage and f.
deity of his disclosures. have had am
pie evidences of the fact that those are
greatly behind the times who speculate on
the probabilities Of re-opening the African
slave trade; it is already thing accom-
plished, and the traffic is brisk, and rapid
ly increasing. In fact, the most vital ques-
ton of the day is hot the. opening 9f this
trade, but Its suppression. Shall it be
longer tolerated in defiance of all laws of
God, of all laws of Christian and even Ma
hummedan nations? The arrival of car
goes of negroes, fresh from Africa, in our
Southern ports, is an event of frequent oc
currence.
Many of the public journals of that re-
gion are supposed TO be in the interest of
the traders, and the publishers of Others
are prevented from announcing such arri-
walls by well-grounded fears that such ac-
tions would oppose themselves to the ven
geance of the brutal and barbarous men
engaged in this business. In all the cot
ton States the cry is for cheap negroes
They denounce our laws against the slave
trade as a protective tariff of twelve or
fifteen hundred per cent. on the price of
labor for the benefit of the slave breeding
States; increasing the price of negroes for
consumption in the cotton fields from one
hundred dollars each (the full cost of inn
portation were it not for prohibitory laws
to twelve or fifteen hundred dollars. With
the hope of enlisting the whole South, they
point to the advance of free labor, and de-
clare that the defeat of slavery in the strug-
gle for Kansas, was owing solely to the
scarcity of slaves.

aThe result of the recent decline has
been very disastrous TO grain dealers and
spectators all along the lakes. Commis-
sion merchants, bankers, and nearly all
concerned have suffered more or less. True
a few have come out of the struggle un-

lesson not to be soon forgotten: and We
trust that the spirit of ofspeculation will nev-

in May last, leaving its track strewed with
bankruptcy and general ruin. Some no
doubt think tha: extreme prices benefit
the producer. 1t is mistake. The re-
action which generally follows an unnatu-
raj advance, sinks the market as much be-
low its natural level as it was above it;
and no better example of this can be cited
than the simple fact that corn sold in this
market yesterday at price eleven cents

A Man Kills the Murderer of hi,
Father.

A correspondent of the ST. Louis Re
publican, writing from Vernon county, No.
under date of July 9Th, describes the fol
lowing tragedy: 81 go .sr.s,Seg55
On Sundy, the 26th uit., Mr.. John
Denton. resident of this county, came
across man in Nevada city by the name
of James Hardwick, whom be arrested for
the murder Of his (Denton's) father, in
Kansas, about year since. Denton had
Hardwick handeutfed, and placed securely
under guard in the Court House
He then made application for a writ,
and being informed that hecould not OBJ
tain one, from the fact that the act was
committed in Kansas, thereupon Denton,
who seems to be a very decided man, soon
left town in company with his prisoner
alone, stating that he was going to take
him to Little Usage, in this county,
where be had some friends, for security
This was about IL o'clock.
Next day Denton returned to Nevada,
to attend the trial of man whom he had
followed and arrested for horse stealing,
and stated that Hardwick had got away
from him. -Four. days after this, Hardwick's S
body was found in large prairie, about
ten miles from Nevada City, and Denton
was thereupon arrested for the murder of
Hardwick, placed upon trial before Justice
Bingham of this county, and committed to
Jail for murder in the first degree.
Denton made a statement of the facts
in the case before the Court. He stated
thai, VIII le riding through the prairie, in
conversation with Hardwick, that be lizard
wick) confessed to him that he was one
of the crowd who went to the house of
old man Denton after night, called him up
from bed and shot him down while he was
standing in his door. Denton said, upon
this confession Of Hardwick to him he be-
came perfectly enraged, and could not bear
the idea of riding with man who would
thus openly confess to him The murder of
his father, and at the same time all often
ces of whatever character, committed prior
TO the amnesty act of the Legislature of
Kansas, last winter, were. considered as by
cones, and seeing no redress for him under
the laws of that country, he, therefore, took
the law in his own hands.

The WEDDING OF THE .SEAsoN.-The
New York correspondent of the Boston
Journal, says: ,=s-.sz. ssa.srz,
"Of all the weddings that New York
has seen this century, the one to come on
the 14th of July excites the greatest inter
est. The bridegroom is Spanish gentle
man of the ripe age of sixty years, small
and light of frame, but heavy in gold
His wealth is said to be fabulous. The
bride is young damsel, poor in purse, but
of marvellous personal attractions. She is
quite young, of queenly form, and of a
majestic elegance that commands the at
iention Of all whopass her in the street,
The stories told Of the preparation, dresses,
and bridal presants, are astounding. Her
bridal veil cost one thousand dollars. The
bridal Jewels one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars. Tiffany is making the bri-
dal wreath None of your dollhouse plants
will adorn the brow-ofthe young bride =
But the wreathe is of gold, and adorned
with jewelry of great Value The staid
bridegroom is a Catholic, and viii call in
all that is gorgeous in his church to add 10
the magnlfcence of the wedding"
