trade it is already a thing accom-
plished, and the traffic is brisk. and
rapidly increasing. In fact, the most
vital question of the day is not the
opening of this trade, but its suppress
sion. Shall it be longer tolerated in
defiance of all laws of God, and OF all
laws of Christian, and even Noham-
medan nations {? The arrival OF car
goes of negroes, fresh from Africa, IN
our Southern ports, is an event OF ire
quent occurrence. Many Of the pub
lie journals of that region are sup
posed to be in the interest OF the ira

prevented from announcing such ar
rivals by well-grounded fears that
such action would expose themselves
to the vengeance of the brutal and
DarDarous men engaged In thls Dusl'
ness. In all the cotton States the cry
is for cheap negroes. They denounce
our laws against the slave trade as a
protective tariff of twelve or fifteer

DRouGHr.-We learn that the dry
weather has already injured the corn
and potato crops in Ohio and Indiana.
Unless the rain comes soon, these crops
must suffer immensely. The local pa
pers throughout Indiana give a gloomy
prospect for corn. Many fields have
suffered already so severely, that even
were rain to fall now, there would
not be an average crop.

Tragedy in New York.

The New York papers contain full
particulars of the shooting of Virginia
Stewart, a courtezan, by her para
mour, Robert G. Mcdonald, a well-to-
do cotton broker, both from Mobile,
Alabama. The murder took place at
the corner of Broadway and Canal
streets, and at an hour when that
great thoroughfare was thronged with
its fashionable thousands.
The parties, it appears, met at Tay-
lor's saloon about o'clock in the af-
ternoon, Miss Stewart having with
her two other females, inmates of
house of prostitution in Marion street.
The three females sat at one table and
Mcdonald at another near it. He
called for wine and it was partaken of
by them, after which they all started
to go out, and while walking toward
the door Mcdonald had some convcrsa-
tloh WIFI ttlC WOIlldu ClCN ait dpul L
from the others, and it is understood
that he endeavored to urge her to live
with him again, she having deserted
him for another. She persisted in re-
fusing to comply with his wishes. He
continued to urge her to do so while
walking up Broadway. On reaching
the Brandreth house he drew a revol
yer, and Miss Stewart, fearing that he
intended shooting her, screamed and
rushed upon the steps of the main Ell
trance to the hotel and was instantly
shot down, the ball from McDonald's
pistol having entered the left side OF
her forhead and lodged in the sub
stance of the brain. Mcdonald ther
attempted to destroy himself but il
this he was prevented. He subsc
quently confessed the murder.
