RE-OPExISG THE SLAVE TRADE.-The Re-
public, an abolition paper, published at
Washington City, in talking to Southern
men upon the subject Of re-opening the
slave trade, says to them:
If your Christian principles will admit of
your treating your fellow shareholders in
Kentucky, Virginia, and Maryland, in so
selfish aud inconsiderate a manner, do you
Just repeal the fishing bounties and the In VS.
prohibiting the African slave trade, and
enough of the fishing tonnage will 20 into
the slave trade to reduce the average price
of niggerS to S200in less than five years -
The supply will only cease with the demand.
There are men enough in the North, who
have no more scruples about the trade than
you have, if you will take the penalty away,
who will soon flood your country with the
widest aud most savage Africans that roam
the forests OF that benighted land.
We are not sure that repeal of the laws
is necessary. Just give them a guaranty
that they shall not be indicted, and We
think you will have cargo after cargo as fast
as you want them. We are advised that
some six light vessels have sailed for the
coast of Africa in as many weeks.

ToBAcco WAREHorsE.-Ths people Of
New Albany are turning their attention to
the subject OF tobacco warehouse in that
city. They think their location favorable
one TO draw the trade to that place, and say
that large proportion of the tobacco inspec-
ted in Louisville is brought up by the pack
cts, landed at Portland, drayed to Louisville,
and after inspection and sale, or inspection
only, drayed back to Portland for shipment
South on the New Orleans steamers. The
cost Of drayagc, amounting to a dollar aud
half or two dollars per hogshead, could
nearly all he saved by sending the tobacco
to New Albany instead of Louisville, and
surely this would be an object with grow
ers of the weed, and with shippers. 4 good
share of this tobacco passes Evansville, and
by landing it here, not only the expenses
above enumerated could be avoided, but
freight of 81 per hid. from here to n. Alba
ny could also be saved.

~. Many u our friends have been
travelling il tie country during the past
wees, who uriaE US reports from Southern
Illinois, the Green river regions OF Ken
lucky, and from ali parts OF the lower Wa
bash Valley, and without dissenting voice,
or any qualifications of these assertions,
they pronounce the wheat and barley har-
vest, now being gathered, the most bountliui
and excellent that has been known in this
section in ten years. There is not a croaker
10 be heard anywhere in this region of the
land. The meadows are not as good as last
year, the quantity of oats sown was limit
ed, but the crop will be excellent in quality.
The corn-fields never gave greater promise
Of an abundant yield. All classes are full
of hope and confidence in the future. The
farmers see abundant means in their fields
for discharging all their debts; the mer-
chants are counting on full collections; the
prompt pay; the railroads, canal managers,
and steamboat owners see in the rich har-
vest fields an active and lucrative transpor-
tation business for the year; and the bank
ers are calculating upon an abundance OF
exchange, a large circulation OF their notes,
ample deposits, and easy times generally
The only danger ahead IS that we may run
wild with our prosperity. A few lugubri-
Gus, bilious cruakers- they can be found
would be useful, just now, TO moderate
the extravaganza and exultant hopes OF all
classes.

IN. Mail Rout. TO Rockport.

The following is a letter from the Assist
ant Post Master General, to Judge Nibiack,
upon the reduction of mail service in this
Congressional District. II appears TO US
that there must be some error in the state
ment OF the revenue from here TO Rockport.
II is one of the largest mails that leaves our
Post Office, and it seems Incredible that the
large commercial towns of Newburg Boom
vile, and Rockport combined, do not con-
tribute more than the paltry sum of S568
per annum, or less than 5000 each:
Posr OFFICE DEPARTMENT,
CONTRACT OFFICE, June IL, 1859. (
To Hon w. T. Niblaek, VinctnRes, Ind
ana:
SIR:-Referring TO your letter Of the 9th
instant in relation to the reduction in the
mail service on routes Nos IL, l27 Evans
vile To ROckport, and IL, 1872, PRINCETON 10
Washington. recently ordered by the p VI.
General To take effect from and after the
lst of July next, ! am directed by him To
state to YOU, in reply, that these reductions
are part only OF plas OF general reduc
tions that are To be made throughout every
State and Territory in the Union.
These reductions are, therefore, the init
alton of the plan or policy OF bringing the
Department down 10 as near II self-suttin-
ing footing as is practicable, and proven
ton in future, to the happening of SINH
lar embarrassing contingency to the Depart
ment aud the country. Having then
deliberately entered upon his policy of bring
ing the Department down 10 self-sustain-
the receipts accruing from ii, rs the origi-
nal theory upon which il was established by
Congress, the p. NJ. General cannot consent
10 lis reversal by making any discrimination
whatever IN any location or section OF the
country, but Will address himselfto the work
wherever and whenever a route is found
upon which the existing service involves the
payment of any considerable sum beyond
that which the Offices on IL actually yield To
the public revenue.
Upon examination OF the routes in ques.
ton, il was ascertained that the service on
tue one from Evansville to Rockport, in
volyed the Department in an ANIMAL expense
of 50, 40, while the Offices on il contributed
only about S568 per annum, or little more
than one-fourth Of that amount. By a sim.
liar examination of the route from Wash
ington, Uia Petersburg to Princeton, it was
found that the existing service cost 1854
per annum, while the offices Oh it yielded
only about $3.50 per annum-less than ont
half These were therefore deemed to b.
just and reasonable points for fair, permanent
and equitable reductions, and they wer,
made in a corresponding spirit; not with
view Of injuring the contractors, nor o.
Gripping the postal conveniences of tn,
people, but with desire of relieving th,
Department from the embarrassment thrown
around It's operations by the unexpected
failure OF Congress to make the usual neces
sary approp 'iation for It's support.
am, very respectfully, your oh't sv't,

redemption Of the land in two wears, but
the Revised Statutes of 1852 declare that
the purchaser holds the property subject to
be redeemed by the execution defendant,
his heirs or assigns, by paying to the pur
chaser, his heirs or assigns, the purchase
money with interest; when redeemed the
purchaser shall have the growing crops, but
shall not be accountable tor rents aud
profits.
Here. without any limitation rs to time,
the right 10 redeem exists, and nothing is
said as to payment for Improvements. y
case testing the meaning of the law, has
been commenced in Monroe county If no
restrictions or the right to redeem exist,
nearly all real estate sold since 1882, by ex-
ecution, will be redeemed.
