 HAYrI.-The .New Orleans Crescent of recent date, shows the absurdity of the interest manifested for Hay,i, in the con. di.ion and prospects of that "benighted spo,," in the following style:
 As i, is now, that island is mere hui. sance to the nations--a blur on the earth's surface 10 itself and to everybody else, besides being dangerous to us as ren. dezvous for runaways. A white man can not land on it's shores without liability to in- suit, and commercial transactions cannot be had with its people without liability to robbery; nine-tenths of its inhabitants are as much heathens as ever their fellows were in Africa. Still, there are those who seem to consider the Hay,ien as "a fellow na- iion;" people entitled to consideration as a sovereign people-a nation-instead of the mob of lawless black rufians which they are, the circumstance of possessing it being the only title which they have to the island, and which should be ignored by the hand of an enlightened power, a right eous power which would act for their good. One need not be prophet to predict that not as many years will elapse ere this will be, as have since the sun of French au- thori,y set in Hay,i in that tremendous saturnalia of blood, amid which was laid the basis of the miserable experiment oi the negro's capacity for self government, which is now drawing to close. Its closing is the only true hope for Hayu.

CoTroN MANuFAcTURE IN CANADA Few of our readers, perhaps, are aware that beginning has been made in the manufacture of cotton goods Tn Canada that there is a cotton mill, in fact, Tn full operation, within three hours ride of Toronto, producing a certain description of goods at lower rates than similar quail ities can be offered at by American man. ufaciurers. The Thorold mill is the one we refer to. It is situated on the Well land canal, about four miles from Saint Catherines; and we yesterday had an op- portunily of inspecting a peice of un- bleached cotlon-good serviceable |" fac tory"-which the enterprising manu- facturers, Messrs Nutty & Woodward, are putting into the market. The staple comes to Thorold in bales, and undergoes all the requisite processes on Messrs. Nutty & Co.'s premises. They have some eighteen looms at work. turning out about 600 yards per day; and they state that the facilities for the manu- fucture afforded by the wafer privileges of the Welland, enable them to undersell foreign producers. The Thorold article, we think, can be sold at nine cents per yard, being one cent lower than the lowest American. Since 1857, large quantities of batting have been manu- factured by the firm; the piece of factory we saw yesterday being a part of the first production of that class of goods. At present the firm buy their cotton at New York. England monetary facilities would enable them 10 purchase at Memphis, the best American market, whence the com modity could be brought, via Cincinnati, at cost which would give the Canadian owner of wa!er-power decided advantage over foreign manufacturers. The enter prise reflects great credit upon Messrs. Nutty & Woodward, who have succeeded in showing that Upper Canada already possesses facilities for the cultivation of an important manufacturing interest," Tor onto Globe.

Ma. STEPHENS SPEEoH.-On our frs

Ma. STEPHENS SPEEoH.-On our first page will be found extracts from the late able speech of this gentleman. We trust our readers will give it careful perusal. In reference to the re-opening of the Slave Trade, we assert that Federal laws against it are unconstitutional--ihat the subject belongs exclusively to the States, and that Congress should let them regulate 1t to sui, their wants. And further, that fl properly in human beings be morally right, then the morality of the Bible, oi the Constitution of the United States, and of the laws of Arkansas stand vindica. ted. If i. is morally right to enslave men in the United States, it is morally right to enslave men of the same race every where. The same code of ethics which justifes slavery here will uphold and justify it in Africa or anywhere else. The right here recognized, to buy, own and sell men, is institutional and exists in Africa under their municipal regulations. Morally considered, the right we have and exercise of buying human chattels from Virginia slave-breeders, justifies us in purchasing similar merchandise from African masters"

LETTER FROM MEMPHIS.
MEMpHrs, Aug. 2, 1859.

MEMPHIS, Aug 2, 1859.
 MR. EDITOR Having leisure hour, will jot down some items which may prove interesting to your readers. It re- quires quite an effort to attempt to write anything during the present " hot term This summer IS the hottest we have had in several years; in fact, one of the oldest inhabitants says it is hotter weather than he ever knew in Memphis, with the ex- ception of the summer of 1914. We have been afflicted with this intense heat for the past month, and from the way that :" Old Sol" now pours down upon our heads his scorchng rays, we will have more of the same sort" for some time to come.
 The manager of the Gaiety Theater has been on trip to the North, where he engaged a new stock company to perform here the coming season. Mrs. Hattie Bernard is the only one of the new com- pany that now reeollect, who has ever acted in Memphis. She was great fa- vorite here, and her engagement will meet the appreciation of our theatre-going citi- zens. If the manager has selected others of equal merit. we shall have company which will afford place of amusement worthy of public patronage.
 Our city is crowded with strangers from the South, many of whom are on their way to the Bailey Springs, or to those of Beersheba and Valhermosa; while some are bound to Lookou, Mountain, and other pleasant sammer retreats. am gratifed that Southerners begin to appreciate the places of summer resort by which they are surrounded, and are learning to stay at home, where their negro property is safe, and where they are not insulted by aboli- tionsts, in preference to spending their money at the North, with men who are not bound to us by any tie save that of self-nterest. An interest IS springing up for the welfare of the South, by her own citizens, many of whom have not hereto fore manifested any great concern in her prosperity. It is to be hoped that many years will not elapse before we shall be- come united Southern Republic, untram- meled by the galling and oppressive fet- ters of the North. With Cuba in our pos session. and the slave.trade re-opened we would bid fair to outstrip the world in wealth and commercial influence. My sentiments on this subject have always been the same, and I would like to dis. cuss them more at length, if time and space would allow 1t.
 Yours, truly, lcHAnoD.

Yours, truly,

A WOMAN OUTRAGED AND DEED OF BLOOD. We clip the following from the Brownsville Echo of the 3rd instant: Some time in last month, (July,) a man named GRAy came into Hamilton township, Prairie country, whose object, as he affirmed, was to get school Although a perfect stranger, he created rather dislike among the people by mak- ing himself toe familiar with the females. A day or two before he left the neighbor- hood, Gray rode up late one evening to the residence of MT. CnArrIN, much respected and esteemed gentleman, living about twelve miles southeast of Browns vile. As Gray manifested no disposition to go on, he was invited to stay all night by MT. CHArrIN, although Gray an utter stranger to him. MT. Chafin's son Will liam, who, with his wife, lived with his father, had left home to have some black smith work done about four miles distant and was not expected back. He did nol get home till the next morning, in con- sequence of not getting his work done un- til late. That night his wife's person was violated by this man Gray-she being un- der the impression that her husband had returned.
 Young Chaffin's wife, by the advice ot her mother -in-law, kept that nights oc- currence secret from her husband for sever al days-until she could bear it no longer. It was her duty. she thought, and she told | him. No one hut he who experienced 1t can know what were the feelings of that man when the knowledge of a wife's dis honor was revealed to him. No one but he can know the agony that tore asunder a loving heart. and brought forth scalding tears to his eyes
 But their atf1iction was not to end here. Young Chaffin heard of Gray having a school in Pulaski county. at place on or near the Palarm creek--known as the Cross Roads, we believe. This intelli- gence created desire for revenge. On Tuesday, July 18th, he went to the Pal arm an innocent and much respected man :; he returned a murderer! Gray had fallen by his hand
 He was arrested by Sheriff King on Friday last, and taken to where the deed was committed, accompanied by his father, wife, mother-in- n-law, and others, to have his trial before justice of the peace. The justices verdict was murder, but he was admitted to bail in bond of S5,000.-- Saturday he returned to his home.
 Gray is said to have been from Texas.

MEMPHIS & LITTLE Rock RAILROAD. A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal writing from Devall's Bluff, under date ol the 24lh ult., states that this Railroad is now permanently located from Little Rock to Devall's Bluff, and that the largest part of the line is now under contract for gra. ding, and the work commenced, and adds that ",he heretofore vexed question abou the permanent location of the road is set tied, and the work is now progressing"
 The road, we learn, will run some two and half miles south of Brownsville, anf l, is much desired that it will not injure the future prospects of the place, and it i' calculated that all the business will still bt done there. The building of depot, it i' maintained, will not injure the town although it is only two and a half miles of
 The Appeals correspondent further re- marks:
 "The location of the road being completed the engineer has already laid off the depot oi White river at DevalPs Bluff, and the owners of the Bluff have caused a number of bushes: and resident lots to be laid of around and ad' joining said depot. It now presents rare chance to merchants and business men to locate there."
 So we are to haue two other bushes; places in Prairie county, one at Devalr' Bluff and the other at Brownsville. w have no objection to the building of thi: road, nor to the building of cities at both o the above points, but don't attempt to sad de us with railroad tax, or use our in ;ernal improvement or other county fund for such purposes.
