The Wanderer case was resumed at Savannah, Ga; on Wednesday. The first witness refused to testify and was imprisoned. Capt Frazier, of the stsaxief Augusta testified that he carried one hun drcd and seventy two negroes within two miles of Augusta. on the 18th of December, who were una ble to talk English, and that he believed they were Africans. Capt. Christy, of the steam tug Lamar, refused to testify, when the investigation was ad- lourned until to-morrow. Numerous witnesses are i'm attendance -
 The following pungent remarks of the Now York Courier and Euquirer's Washington correspondent on the case of the Wanderer, have too much foun- dation:

THs SLAVE TRADE.-The Augusta (Geo.) Dispatch refers to the cargo of negroes recently landed Brunswick. and says that the Wanderer was merely used to take the property ashore. The importing vessel has perhaps gone after another cargo-the one just landed, the Dispatch believes, is not the first, nor the second, lately imported:
 The Dispatch goes on to say:
 "We learn that one of our citizens has bought a slave from the lot recently landed just below this city, for which he paid $250.
 This question has often been asked. What practi- cal good result from the agitation of the revival of the slave trader We point to this cargo of sturdy laborers delivered from the darkness and barbarsm of Africa, to be elevated and christened soil We point to the price paid for this jolly son of the junges, and compare it with the exorbitant prices paid for the fancy and less valuable negroes here. And we claim that these results are the beginning of the blessing to flow in upon the South from the fearless advocay of the revival of the slave trade by one or two independent presses in this State and South Carolina. This trade may be called piracy by false construction of foolish law but the day will come when the South wM make it the right arm of her legitimate commerce."
