SLAVES HIRING THEIR OWN TIME

The Columbia Bulletin, referring to the practice
of allowing slaves to hire their own time, and to
the many evils which result therefrom, uses the
following language
despite the laws Of the land forLidding, under
penalty, the hiring of their time by slaves, it is
much to be regretted that the pernicious practice
still exists. No. few who profess to be law abid
ing citizens. and are loud in their denunciaton Of
transgressors are knowingly, constantly violating
law intended to promote the interests Of the com,
muni,y, protect the rights of masters. and guard
our slaves against evil. 1t is difficult to find a
reason for such indifference to the requirements
of wholesome legislation il would seem that
every consideration of policy would demand its
rigid observance, and that instead Of being regard.
ed as a useless restraint upon the master in the
use of his property, it would receive that respect
10 which it's wise provisions entitle it,"

A NEW KEY" TO THE GULF OF
MEXICO

The subjoined communication. from the pen of
an intelligent and esteemed citizen of the State
of Mississippi, forcibly calls the public attention
to proposition whose significance and moment,
as we'll political as economical, will be readily ap.
pretended by ell practical and rejecting minds.
We alude to the construction of o ship canal
across the northern neck Of the peninsula Of Flor
ida, with the view at once Of greatly expediting
the time of passage and promoting the safety OF
the vast and increasing commerce carried on be-
tween the Atlantic and Gulf States of the Confed-
eracy. That commerce, We noed not remind the
reader, in being at present compelled to double the
Florida Capes, is subjected to the wo-fold dangers
Of a navigation rendered difficult and hazardous,
not only by the hidden distractions and reefs
which waylay the seafarer in that quarter but also
by the drift of that mysterious Gulf Stream which
often proves as battling to the power and skill OF
the seaman as it long has been to the man OF eel
ence in his efforts to trace its secret origin and
cause. A ship canal at the point designated would
at once and forever obviste all the perils which
now beset the passage Of our commerce in thread
ing its intricate way from the waters of the Allan
tic to those of the Gulf Of Mexico. It's advantages
in this respect are too apparent to need more than
suggestion, while in point of their magnitude it
is hardly too much to cay that they would be meal
calabe save on an accurate estimate of the amount
and value Of the ooasting trade to be benefited by
it. The annual loss Of life and property on the
coast of Florida is now SO great that the FLORIDA
wreckers' find in the maritime disasters Of that
vicinsge an unfailing source of employment in
the prosecution of their sad profession, which, II
not without its peculiar dangers,is also not without

THE ACQUITTAL OF SICKLES.

The verdict in the murder trial just closed ut
Washington will disappoint some persons who pro
fcssed to look for disagreement of the jury, but
the general anticipation was that no conviction
could be obtained The nature of the offence was
perfectly well understood--a cool and deliberate
homicide in view Of certain provocation-and the
law OF the case was as clear as noon day, 80 much
so that skilfu counsel rather sought to evade than
to question it ; but behind both the fact and the
law stood a popular feeling, which we will not at.
tempt to characterize, and which it was supposed
would supcrsede the more rigorous demands Of the
law. Mr.. Sickles was acquitted neither by the in
genuity of his advocates, nor the remarkable lax
ity of the prosecuting officers, but by sentiment
which took the law in its own hands and declared
the assassination Of on adulterer justiGable.
We are left ir no doubt upon this point, inasmuch
as the jury, after the adjournment repaired to
of the hotels, to mingle their congratulations with
those of the defending counsel and of the mob, and
to declare in the most explicit terms the grounds
of their decision. One of them desired Brady to
proclaim it in New York that "the citzons Of
Washington arc not behind those of any other part
of the country in devotion to the family altar
Another Of them, who is described, we should say
Justly as the "wag au1 mimic" of the tribunal,
said that che would not for himself have been suit
isfied with Derringer or revolver but would have
brought howitzer to bear on the seducer" A
third. who had beguiled the weary hours in which
the jury were together by performances upon the
violin, heightend the general joy with which their
peculiar discharge Of their legal function was hail
ed, by additional strains from that dulcet instru.
ment. fourth more devouty inclined. thanked
God that his life hadibeeu spared to participate in
SO great and brillisnt verdict. In fact, Wash
iDgton correspondent of one Of the morning papers.
writes: II had the pleasure Of meeting ten of the
gentlemen who composed the jury, and / am
specially instructed by them to state. and they
wish it distinctly understood. that they gave their
verdict on the principle that in the absence Of any
adequate punishment by law for adultery, the man
who violates the honor and desolates the home of
his neighbor docs so q. the peril Of bis lfe and If
he falls by the outraged husbands hands he de
serves his doom. This principle, they Informed
me, they agreed upon unanimously six days since.
They have made it from this hour a principle of
American law" They did not pretend to be guild
ed by any principles Of law, but they took it on
themselves 10 establish new principle, which they
