labor as we desire, from whence it can be ob- tained cheapest.
 Negroes, in few years more, will be valued in market at over 5000 per he ad, and then all the laws framed in the United States and Great Britain, backed by the full power of both Gov ernments, will not prevent the people from Introducing such labor as they desire. Let the government take warning in time, and re- lax some of it's restriction upon trade, which it's whole power will not enable it to prevent
 A telegraphic dispatch, dated Savan- nah, Georgia, December 18th, says: The United States officers caught one of the young Africans supposed to have been landed from the yacht WAsDERER, last week, on Jekyl Island He was brought to this city on Saturday, hut, had since disappeared. The officials are bothered about this single Afr. can while scores have heen transported by railway and steamers throughout the South The United States Marshal is here His re signation is requested, but he refuses. He will probably be displaced, though he is gen orally thought to be blameess.
 We find the following paragraphs in reference to the landing of Africans by the Wanderer, in our exchanges: The Memphis Ledger of Tuesday eve ming last says:
 It is said that MT. Conner, the U. s. District Attorney at Charleston s. C., has been summoned to Washington for consultation with reference to the recent landing of slaves at Southern ports and the alleged purpose of certain ullraists in South Carolina to revive the slave trade in defiance of the laws.
 The Memphis Enquirer of the same day says;
 The following extract from letter o l" Ion," the reliable correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, confirms our first impress sons of the motives that governed the re cent importation of Africans by the !" Wanderer: :"
 The importation of number of Africai slaves into South Carolina or Georgia contn ues to attract attention, particularly inasmucf as the enterprise was undertaken with the de liberate purpose of testing the constitutional ty of that traffic. The parties who were en gagged in the transaction not only avow the ac bat have given notice to the public that they are prepared to vindicate it, and will proceed to issue public address with their views oi the subject. There will be no difficulty, there fore, in bringing the question to judicial de cision.
 We imagine that judicial decision up on the constitutionality of the laws pro hibiting the African slave trade Is not al that is desired. We apprehend that it i' designed 10 test the power of enforcing the law, whether 1t be constitutional or un constitutional, and to show that whatever a court may hold, jury can not be fount who will bring in verdict of guilty.
 The Washington correspondent of the .Memphis Appeal writing under date of the 30th ult., says:
 The case of the yacht Wanderer ano the landing of the Africans at the South continues to excite public attention. Many stories are told about this affair, among others, that real live African had beer taken, supposed to be such from his ina bility 10 converse intelligibly. This Of 1t. self will not reasonably warrant such 6 conclusion, as there are numbers of ne. groes born and raised on rice plantations in South Carolina and Georgia, whose language in unintelligble to others than their fellows. That the Wanderer was engaged in the slave trade, there is no sort of question, but 1t has been known here for several months that Capt Corrie her owner, had, as early as the middle of October. effected their landing on the coast of Cuba.
