The Wanderer and Her Cargo.

The President yesterday sent to the
House message transmitting report from
the Attorney General in reply to resolu-
ton requesting him to report what informa.
ton he had received in regard to the recent
importation Of Africans into Georgia and
what measures may be necessary to bring to
trial the persons implicated, and to prevent
similar violations of law hereafter.
The report Of the Attorney General sets
forth that the local officers Of the government
at Savannah have been strictly and specially
enjoined to perform the duties imposed up
on them by the several acts Of Congress re.
lating to this subject; that special council
has been employed to aid the district attor.
ney in prosecuting the offenders, and that
the advices received satisfactorily show the
diligence and activity Of all persons engaged
in the public service. To find the negroes
who were clandestinely landed, to identify
the parties engaged in the crime, and to as.
certain other important facts connected with
the transactioD-all this has been attended
with many difficulties, but there is good reas.
on to hope that they will be overcome, and
justice, according to the law of the lard, ex.
ecutcd upon the offenders. But the presen,
condition Of the affair is such as to make j,
absolutely impossible that the proceedings
already instituted, or those in contemplation
should be given in detail, without very erea,
prejudice to the public interest.
