, TIE SLAVE TRADE.-From all portions OF
the Gulf coast we hear Of the successful land
ing Of African negroes. Native Africans are
becoming quite common thing even in the
interior markets. 1t is rumored that not Q
few are quietly working out their salvation"
in Chickasaw and the adjoining counties
We congratulate all poor folks like ourself,
and rich ones who want more labor, upon the
early prospect of negro fellows at $3.50. In
spit of the Government the Yankees ana an
else, to the contrary, the great law OF demand
and supply is working itself out in favor Of
the South. and the African slave trade is
opening now, and will be forever. It is ru-
mored that some enterprising pirates" have
taken steamers at New York to intercept and
capture the Africans now on their way to La
IBERIA. So the great movement to supply the
South with cheap labor goes grandly on
Houston Petrol.
