THT WANDERER's NEGROEs-A BAD SPEcrLA-
TIoN.--We heard some days ago, from source en-
tirey reliable says The SaUanIGh RepUbL'cdn, that
lot Of Africans, supposed to be portions oi The wan
derers cargo had recently been offered for sale both
in CharettOn and Grahamville. The price asked was
$50, and yet the owners were unable to find pur-
chssers at that low rate. The difficulty in the minds
of planters seems to be twofod to wit the uncertain
ty Of title ard Of life. No man will voluntarily pur-
chase lawsuit if he knows it, and in this case, under
the law he makes himself both defendant in civil
action ard an offender on the criminal side OF the
Court. These negroes too, 1t IS said, arrived IN DIS
eased condition. many of them having itch and other
diseases contracted in their passage while they are
peculiarly subject to pneumonia ana other Winter dis
eases common in our climate. From these and otner
reasons have doubt that the experiment proved
anything but profitable to the undertakers and We
trust the result may induce the parties TO abandon
altogether tIac that is opposed both to public cen.
timent ard the laws of tie land. Per coRfra-1 TIE

We are equally reliably infor ned that this statement IS
incorrect; and are farther authorized by reepon-

every negro brought TO this country by the Wandere
