OSE THOUSAND NEGROES WANTED-An ad-
vertisement appears in the News, published a,
Enterprise, Miss addressed to ship owners and
masters of our mercantile marine, offering $500
each for 1000 native Africans between the
ages of IA aud 30, sound and healthy, to be
delivered within twelve months, at some point
between Pensacola, Florida, and Galveston,
Texas. The advertisement is signed by ls re-
sponsible citizens, whose character is vOuched
for by the editor of the News. The advertisers
add after their signatures the following note,
which shows that their leading object is to make
an issue against the laws prohibiting the Afri-
can slave trade. They quote the Jewish slave
code with great emphasis and satisfaction:
I'VE who have signed this advertisement
profess to be law-abdng citizens, but cannot
respect any act purporting to be law, which we
believe to be unconstitutional; as such we es-
TEEN that which interdicts the slave trade either
domestic or foreign. they are regarded as
merchandise and slaves here, and in their native
country to their brethren; the latter condition
is forbidden by divine law, but the same law
says to the Hebrews, you shall enslave the
heather around you, aud they shall be per
petnal Inheritance for your children. We have
never known native Africans semi-civil,zed but
by our plan OF the American institution Of do
mestic slavery. We feel that great mutual
benefits have and are flowing from the institu-
tion, and esteem it duty to extend the privi-
lege Of becoming semi civilized to others CT
Africa's degraded race, by mingling. at least,
like number with the four millions now among
US, that reciprocal benefits may result"

Late Rrom the Mines.

/
Yesterday mt noon We had an interview with
Messrs. Joshua Stout and Caleb Sipple who had
just returned fror, the mines, having left the
diggings on the 18th Of March, bringing sever.
81 later davs news than has yet been received.
They LETT Rockport mo last i'll and arrived
In the mines on the 10th of November. They
retarned BY the South Platte route up to within
about seventy miles Of Omaha. They then
crossed over the Platte river on Shinn's Ferry,
and say frankly to US that they experienced
MORE DIFFICULTY on the seventy miles Of the
North Platte route than during the whole trip.
They are going back in few days with drove
OF cattle; they 60 BY the great Central Route
from Nebraska City. These gentlemen inform
Us that the miners are making in the Spanish
diggiDgs, where they are at work, from S3 to
$40 per day. The miners are in fine spirits. and
highly encouraged and elated with the prospect
The Indians give them no trouble; they have
mostly left to 60 down along the Santa F.
route.
Coffee and Sugar we're selling in the mines at
30 cts per pound, whskey IS per gallon. mo-
asses IS per gallon, lumber $40 per hundred,
oxen $50 per yoke. The miners claims are 50
eet on the river by 100 deep. There is plenty
u timber in the mountains for lumber. They
net two saw miles on their way for the mines |
These faets can be relied upon as containing the
ruth about the mines, the latest and entirely |
eliable.
