is followed by anxious inquiries from all,
and if her appearance aud movements are
suspicious, off We 60 at full speed on a
chase. As We near her, if she flies no
national flag, we fire gun charged with q
blank cartridge; if she still neglects to
show her nationality, we fire shot across
her bow and if this should not be answer
ed, we would capture her as prize. If a
vessel displays the 'stars and stripes" We
can stop and search her with impunity,
but if she shows any other national flag,
we can not stop or search her, excepting
at the risk of being personally prosecuted
for damages, as well as being reprimanded
by our own Government, and complained
against by the government to which she
belongs. There is one exception to this
rule, By special treaty between Eng land
aud the United States. The right OF
search is mutually conceded on the coast
of Africa alone. Truly, We can capture a
SLAYER as lawfal prize, it matters not
what flag she bears, providing she is three
miles from foreign shore. The great
difficulty is in giving legal evidence that
she is SLAYER. An American SLAYER we
can capture in a foreign port.
The whole subject of "search at sea, ;"
is one of our most delicate international
questions, and SO strict are the instructions
from the Navy Department on this sub
jec', tha. none of our naval officers would
search vessel flying a foreign fag except
uuder the most suspicious circumstances,
aud then be would do i, at great personal
risk. Hence, our present object is princi-
pally to prevent the notorious prostitution
of the American flag to the slave trade.
This squadron Of four steamers now cruis-
ing around Cuba, will doubtless be of great
service III suipressiug this base abuse. We
have three steamers also on the coast Of
africa. This is the first time the United
States have made use of steam in suppress
sing the slave trade. Steamers only are
really IT for this duty. 1t looks as if We
were getting in earnest on this subject.
The English have thirty-two steamers On
the coast of Africa, cruising against sla-
vers. We are sadly in need Of more small
but fast steamers in cur navy, for this as
well as for other national purposes Those
lately purchased steamers are tolerably
well calculated for this special service.
| have written more than | intended, and
/ dare say you will agree With me in say
Ing enough for the present.

PUT Down FREE SrEEcH.-The Mil
waukee Nccs says that the action Of the
South in driving out Northern men, and
suppressing free speech, is right, and the
Freeport Bulletin says SO too. 1t endorses
all the outrages upon the Irishmen who
have been expelled from Carolina, and
says that tue South are only doing what
any Sensible community would do.
And this is not all. While his organs all
over the country are denouncing Northern
men, who are so unfortunate as to be trav-
cling in the South, and invoking coats of
tar aud feathers for them, Mr.. DOUGLAS
himself proposes in Congress to enact a
Slave Code for the Free States-a law to
put down free soil notions in the North,
Jy .Jorce. He declares as follows:

His bill then, is aimed at all who pro-
fess the principles of the Republican par
ty, and his proposition is to imprison for
life, any man who believes 10 free labor,
free speech, and free men ! Oh, glorious

In s!ab-na Editor Down on "NeIIy Gray"

Ettt3F DSNH On ''Nti:1
TIE popular sorg of Nelly Gray" has
fallen into the hands of certain vigilant
editor away down in Alabama, and he dis.
covers SO much aJolifioaism in it as to
feel it necessary to warn his Southern
brethren against giving it circulation. He
sees in it much that is incendary-a con-
cealed effort to corrupt the literature of
the "cotton growing States" and as such
should be banished from their borders.
We copy portion of the clear-sig hted ed
itor's criticism
"In My Darling Nelly Gray we have a
nicely coated sugar pill Of pure abolitionism.
1t runs thus:
'One night went to her, but she's gone the neigh
The white man bound her with his chain;
They haze taken her Georgia for to her life away
And she tolls in the cotton and the cane
While the metre is not captivating, the sem
timent is decidedly odious. Indeed, it smacks
of what might be considered lbelous upon
the character of Georgians. The result of
the monotonous tale, what the neighbur' told
the sentimental wretch, is seen in the next
verse:
My canoe is under water and my banjo is unstrung,
I'm tired Of living any more;
My eyes shall look downward, and song shall be
sung,
While l stay on my old Kentucky shore"
To relieve such sentimental vagabonds
from their .,ndum vtr.' We recommend their
sportation 10 Georgia, 10 toll like Nelly
Gray in the cotton and the cane
My Darling Nelly Gray may be very
pretty and very sweet one, but, We submit,
she does not grace or benefit Southern socie.
ty except where the Georgian placed her.
Such criticism must result in putting
a quietus on the wanderings of Miss Nelly,
especially in the land of the cane-brake
and the alligator The Alabama editor
can not have too much credit awarded him
for his patriotic efforts. We vote him a
leather medal.

The latest "fashion" announced from
Europe, is that of dressing very plainly
when going to Church. Some of the Ia
dies of the FIRST "circle" go up to worship
in plain calico. 1t is thus sought to en-
courage the attendance of the poor who
have hitherto withheld their presence
for lack Of "Sunday clothes" A sensible
not to say Christian idea.
