WEDNESDAY, FEB. 16, 1859,
The Wanderers,

Not many months since it was whis-
pered that some wild adventures had
determined to bring cargo of African
slaves to our coast for the purpose of
testing the coD"i'ufi0nolify of our laws
against the Slave trace. Very few really
believed that any one could he found, so
fool-hardy as TO undertake the hazardous
enterprise But 10 while the incredulous
were yet sneering at the absurd idea, the
experiment IS made--a cargo Of live AZ
ricans are landed on our soil-the law is
speedily invoked and as speedily found
useless, and shortly after landing from the
Wanderer the hopeless wanderers are
wandering to the various locations in this
"Home Of the Free" where they will drag
out miserable existence and bequeath
their wretchedness to a miserable poster
ity.
But the consequence to this lot of Afri.
cans is of triAing Importance in COMPARE
son with all the interests involved in this
matter. The little yacht load of blacks
is small matter, but the experiment con-
templates great consequences. That car
60 is but drop in the black sea that
covers the southern part of our Union,
but the success of the experiment (if it is
successfully implies consequences of mag
nitude not easily conceived of. 1t changes
the prospects of the System entirely. If
hands which now command q thousand
dollars can be imported for hundred,
the pr offs of slave labor are imneasurably
advanced and it is on the question of
profit and loss that it's perpetuity rests.
Then may we auxiously enquire if the
Slave Trade is to be practically re.opened.
1t certainly will be unless something is
done with ,ciH, but alas it is the aciN
which seems to be wanting

Congress-,

Has, during the week, made but little,
apparent, progress. Almost the only thing
OF consequence actually accomplished is
the passage in the Senate of Mr. Morrill's
Agricultural College bill There were
few amendments made to this which were
considered unobjectionable and they will
without doubt be concurred in by the
House. There is some fear that the Pres
ident will refuse his signature, as by doing
this he might obtain favor at the South.
AT the date of our last news, the bill for
the admission of Oregon was under dis.
cussion in the House, This is not par.
ty question and its fate was doubtful. The
Democracy are proposing all sorts of
schemes for the reduction of the expenses
OF government, some of which are com.
mendable and some are not, but what they
propose to save is very triaing compared
with the additions they propose to make
to the expenses. While they suggest the
curtailment of few thousands here and
there, they would throw away millions
where it would most likely spring up and
bear fruit, thirty, sixty or an hundred fold
to the disadvantage of the treasury.
The schism of the democratic party con.
tinues to grow more ominous every day,
indeed it is questionable whether the most
radical party differences are not between
the factions of that party. The President
and those who sympathi1e with him
on the tariff question are at war with the
Southern free traders, The Pennsylva
mans are quite firm and independent, re-
fusing to allow that the action of the free
trade caucus is binding upon them. The
President presses the Thirty Million bill,
on which the party is again divided,
Meantime the session ia fast wearing away
some fifteen days remaining--and but
little encouragement that anything will be
done which the wants of the country de.
mand. The action of our law makers
seems to have the most direct reference TO
the Charleston Convention. 1t seems now
quite probable that an extra session will
be necessary

It appears appropriate here to present few remarks
upan the character Of Washington-and in doing so,
shall speak Of bm as a man, not exempt from hui
man frailtes and subject 10 the same passions aud
emotions as his fellow-creatnIes. To think Of him
otherwise, would be TO place him beyond the sphere
Of hnite comprehension. What. then il that made
him pre- emnently above not only his fellows but
all who had gone before him? In a mere intellectual
point Of view, many have been his superiors, and his
education does not appear to have been ordinarily
complete. lie was naturally possessed Of clear head
strong cOmmon sense. and a fund Of energy he was
also brave, resolute, and discreet. But that which
gave 20 him his influence and character, was the ear
nestness and sincerity of his liiehs entire
tiOn 70 noble purpose His lips polluted
by falschond--his heart never tainted by an un-
worthy motive. lie lived not TO achieve fame, not to
court or to win npplause-for though sensitive TO
honest appreciation, he was impervous to flattery-
not to mmortalize himself but TO rescue his country
from tyranny and raise high the standard Of conserv.
alive repubicanism. Where the honor and interest OF
his country were concerned, he was careless Of dan
ger, ready 10 stand calm and undaunted amidst the
whStlng bullets as at Princeton and Germantown or
to rebuke cowardice and deserti0n by facing the
enemy alone. Washington was not without faults
he was naturally mpetaous Rnd.hs passions were
strong but he achieved victory greater than that Of
destroying army or capturing city-a victory over
himself His selicontrOl was perhaps the most re-
markable feature in his character, only approached
by his perfect sclfdenial. And when he had accom-
plished all that he desred-when he had rescued his
country from
tn oppressors wrong-the proud mans contumely,'
and made her name, coupled with his honored among
the nations OF the earth-how glorious how beautiful
was his condnct. Without murmur, In the face OF
opportunities OF selEadyancement such no man had
ever possessed before he withdrew to the shades Of
private fe there to die he had liyed-sans rcur 1t

to be found in the history of the world-no instance
Of so much worth, much modesty, and so much

The Pacific RAILRoAD.-The Pacific
Railroad bill is still before the Senate,
where it has undergone full discussion.
Many substitutes for or amendments to
Senator Gwin's bill have been voted down.
Motions to re-commit, and to lay OH the
table, have been rejected. A final vote is
about to be taken. There is no chance for
any bill in the House, even if one should
pass the Senate.
Mr.. Lander has made an offer to con-
struct railroad to Salt Lake City. This
road would be the pioneer road, and for
temporary use. His plan is thus stated
Mr. Lander proposes to build the railroad
from the Missouri, at the mouth of Platte
river, to Salt Lake City, for $4,000 per
mile, provided be be allowed to import his
rails without duty, and be assigned one
section of land for each ten miles of the
route. Or, paying the duties on the rails,
he offers to de the same work for ten thou
sand dollars per mile, with the same allow
aace Of land The distance is | 100 miles.
At the first rate the total cost would be
s., 100000; at the second rate, $ll, ,OOO,-
900, 1t will be remembered that there has
been paid on the contract with Russell,
Majors e. Co., over this line of travel, for
army transportation, within one year, $3,-
100000 on their statement. So that in
three years the Government alone will have
business enough to indemnify the builders.
Salt Lake City is somewhat more than half
the distance to California.
The OREGON WAR DEBT-The Commit
tee on Military Affairs have under consid-
GRAFTON the subject of the Oregon war debt.
The Secretary Of War desired Congress TO

The steamer Uncle Sam, with four COM

for the Mojave expedition, sailed from this

bound for the mouth OF the Colorado riv-

mules and draft animals, together with a
large quantity Of barley for their susie

About noon the wind hauled to the
southeast and commenced to blow heavily,
gradually freshening until IL o'clock P. NJ,

this coast, and who happened TO be passen.

have never before experienced anything so
