turbulent spot in the river than before. The banks
at the new location, are further apart, also, than

That Cargo.-our readers may recollect short
time since that we noticed report to the effect
that o. cargo of Africans had been landed on the
coast of Florida. The Pensacola Observer con-
firms the report as follows 10
The above intelligence, we are assured by Col.
E. E. Blackburn, U. s. Marshall, is true, as he
has received letters conveying the said inteli-
gence and stating these facts. But how CAN'T be
expected that the party violating the law will be
arrested, when the United States Marshall is de-
MED the power and means Of doing go? II this
official was vested with sufficient power and pro-
vided with able means, los he applied for to the
proper authorities he would, perhaps, have been
able to prevent such violation of the law; but as
it is, with his limited power and>want of means,
it is almost impossible.
We further understand that the vessel which
brought these Africans to our coast, as soon as the
landing was effected, was set on fire and abandon
ed to the elements.

cos into the French army, and their successes
against European troops, have incited the
British government to attempt the organlza-
ton of similar corps from their colonies in
the West Indies Sometime ago the black
soldiers in Bermuda were uniformed a la
Zouaye, and We now learn that orders have
been issued by the War Department for the
transportation of three thousand Jamaica
negroes to England. Once arrived, they
are to be drilled in the use of the latest and
most destructive patterns of small arms, and
trained to serve the lew rihed cannon
When this first squad has been Incorporated
with the army it will doubtless be followed
by others, until the English will have a
black division which will cope, in barbarity
and ferocity at least, with the Turcos.
The August number of the Electic

nection with the Mount Vernon fund. His
Washington Grafton was first delivered Feb

hundred and twenty nine times, yielding

$4,000, and in other ways smaller sums,
making contribution to the Mount Vernon

erlabors for this object, he has delivered lee
lures for other benevolent associations, ma.

And muttered with groan,

BY carts and wagons made,

He said, " may be laid
I've rifed many customers

And though quite usedto charging,
Charging on may cost me dear!
With pretty Nell I've been to balls,
And ike them right well;
But if one came this way just now,
fear ;twenld be my knell.
Round many garments have hemmed
The foe may hem me round;
And though I've often fenced and felled,
Felled here may be found %

That drwn he threw his sword and gun,
And ran wiskan his might.
