Favorable News from Liberia

The bark Page arrived at New York on th'
9th with advices from Monrovia to July 29th
The vessels sent from Baltimore and New York
by the Colonization Society this season had ar
rived safely at Liberia, and the cargoes were
sold at good profit. The liberated Africans
from the SLAYER "Echo" are doing well at Mon
rovia, and having been mainly distributed
among private families, were fast learning the
habits and customs of civilized life.
The intelligent colored people from the Uni
ted States settled in Liberia, speak in the high
eat terms of the country of their adoption. Mr.
John W. Holm, a coIored New Yorker, thus
writes to the agent of the Colonization Socie-
y:
"When I left New York for Liberia, Z was
under the impression that would not find the
place suited to my desire, which impression
arose from Misrepresentation Of Liberia to
me by few acquantances in New York. But
having been privileged to see and to tread upon
the delightful shores of Liberia, I am prepared
to affirm, without any fear OF contradiction,
that no place under the sun is better adapted to
the colored man than Liberia"
Affairs in Liberia are promising and the coun.
try healthy.

One Of The Street Railroad Conipanisa p
Phiadelpl D soon test the practicability Of
steam FOR faoaing cars on city passenger rail
roads For this pursosc thsy arc having Tour
horse steam engine constructed, which the
Public Ledger says with the frame upon which
Il rests will be ten feet long and four feet eight
inches wide, and weigh about two tons. Its
constructed upon the same principle as Mr..
Archambaults portable steam engines for hoist
ing or farm purposes; the only difference be.
Jog in the mode Of applying the power, so as
to propel itself and the car attached. This is
done by having ON the engine SHAH, at the front
Of the engine, an eight inch belt, which passes
down and around the bind axle Of the truck
supporting the engine Attached is belt
rider, by moving which the belt is raised, IL the
signal is given to stop the car, which allows
tho belt to slip around without moving the
wheel, while the engine is still kept In motion.
On starting, the belt is slowed to fall back in
its proper place, and therefore the car is again
put in motion. By this means, the engine and
car can be stopped almost instantly; and as il is
constantly working, no noise will be made by
the escape steam. nor will there be much dan
ger of explosion The engine will be housed
over, so that it will resemble somewhat the car
in which the passengers ride. It will require
but one man to attend to tho FIRE and tho Iun-
ming of it. The builder calculates that no more
than one or two tons OF coal will be required TO
run it a week, aud that it can be managed with
as much ease as pair OF horses. The railroad
company are having handsome car made to
run with this engine, and its practicability will
be fully tested

Negro snIea in nIissonri.

We learned this morning from gentleman OF
the highest intelligence and formerly citizen
of Lafayette county, in this State, that he has
authentic information, that the sales of Slaves
in Missouri River counties have been enOr-
nous this year, and that the receipts OF money
from that source have had material effect on
the money Market easing matters most palpa
bly,.
The prices obtained are high, and the Slaves
are taken invariably to the South-to the Cot
ton States. The gross receipts of money 10
Missouri from this source, this year. is thought
will amount to millions of dollars. The drain
on the Slave population commences in Platte
county, and follows the Missouri river down, on
both sides, to st. Louis-St Louis Neios.
This drain of Slave labor from Missouri is
one of the most cheering signs of progress in
that State. Free white labor takes its place,
filling up the great commonwealth with owners
Of the soil as well as themseves--men who
will sui due the forests and plant the institu-
tiOns Of fFreedom-tOwns, manufactures, school
houses, and churches. The great and free la
Dor city Of st. Louis is rapidly leavening the
whole State. Kansas free beyond, Nebraska,
Iowa and Illinois all free around, Missouri must
ere long also float the white banner.

Governor Wise. however, equally as good a
National Democrat as the Saokem of Missouri,
but horse of quite another color from the one
who speaks thus duihoriiatiUely from Wash
ineton, reminds the authorities that Judges
arc component parts Of Courts, and as such
arc invested with purely Executive powers, to
administer the laws only; and before the Courts
can exercise their Legitimate funclions,tho law
making, or Legislative power, must be Invoked
to create laws. Call these laws a slaDe code,
"a rose by any other name would smell as
sweet" or adopt whatever nomenclature you
will, some kind of code or law must first be
devised, ere your courts arc operative. So
Senator Green's doctriIe Of non-mtervention
adopted az the especial tenet Of the Admins
tration, is "glittering generality"

Slavery is the creature Of local law solely, and

We published recently statement that a

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The Cincinnati Commercial says ait is doubt
ful whether the appearance of Senator Douglas
in this State is TO be attributed to Senator
Pugh. The charge has been made that our
young Senator was responsible for the presence
of the Little Giant, and that Mr.. Pugh agreed
to lead the Ohio delegation in the Charleston
Convention for Douglas, provided Dug would
put in laboring car for Pugh's return to the
Senate. The appearance of things since Mr..
Douglas arrived and departed contradcts this
charge. Mr.. Douglas was not at any time in
the hands of the especial friends of Mr. Pugh,
but was grOOmed and led forth by others, and
recent events seem 10 have increased the talk
about the Hon. Stanley Matthews as an aspir-
ing man for the Senatorial succession"

In the Ohio Assembly of 1867, the State
of Hamilton was in part represented by Mr.,
Cory, and as he thought with distinguished
ability. The Hamilton Representative subse'
Quently became an independent candidate for
member Of the Board of Public Works, and
received score OF two of votes beside his
own. Since then he has pretty much subsided
from the public eye.
The arrival in Ohio cf the Illinois Little Gi-
ant again aroused the Hamilton GOliah. He
at once challenged the Douglas to the "argu-
gument" Douglas chose to stump, not debate
whereupon Cory, with mOdesty characters
tic Of the man, suggests to the people of Ohio
the proPrety of filing with himself the seat of
Ohio in the Senate of the United States soon
to be made vacant Douglas lodged Cory
at Cincinnati, but in the Senate he would have
to stand the shock of argument !" Give Cor

Oysters and sour KrOut.

The Cincinnati Times states that the oyster
season commences there about the lst Of Sep
tember and closes the lst of May, and there arc
about 100 cases, or 1900, cans and ten barrels
received daily from Baltimore. The sales Of
shell Oysters in Cincinnati last year reached
$4,000 and this season il is estimated the
sales will amount to half million of dollars.
The Times also informs the lovers of sour
krout, that there are one thousand acres of land
in Mill Creek bottom devoted this season to the
culture of cabbage!

Il is stated that the Colonial Government OF
Jamaica is about to appoint an agent in Cana
da, under the immigration act Of 1913, TO en-
courage the immigration Of colored laborers to
that Island Provision will be made to pay the
passage of enigrants with whom contracts
will be made for three years at a
stipulated sum per month. 1t is estimated
that there are in Canada 40 900 coored persons,
the great majority being male adults Many OF
them have become possessed of considerable
property, and would make excellent citizens ol
Jamaica We observe that the project of i'm.
migration finds considerable favor in Canada
and it is probable that Jamaica will receive
quite an accession to her productive industry.
