The RETURNING AFRIcANs.-The second vessel left
Key West on the 4th instant with a load of Afri-
cans returning to their native land A correspon-
dent of the Charleston Courier says:
The scene witnessed on the Africans taking their
departure was truly heart rending They begged
upon their knees, threw themselves down, and by
signs, in every possible way, communicated their
repugnance to going back. Such as had picked up
few English words spoke for themselves, and the
rest asking the Physician and the Marshal to allow
them to remain, and let the citizens do whatever
they wished with them. No man could have wit
messed the departure without feeling that it was
great wrong and an act of inhumanty in sending
them back to their country. And the negroes
had the intelligence to comprehend it. 1t was also
stated positively that two. at least of the negroes
who had been captured on the brig Echo and re-
turned were among the number brought into Key
West.
The banks captured were the wdfre," bring
ing $500; the "Bogota," 81, 10O and the evil
liam" S1,5O4. That's sacrificing vessels by the
wholesale. There is strong talk of party from
Alabama, Louisiana, Florida and Cuba, making an
attempt to capture these negroes from the COLOMBIA
ton ships. fancy it is all rumor, though it could
be easily done with little determination. 1t is
worth trying, provided they come from hemp or
cotton country, and understand hanging WELL

permit himself to be tied, and other large brides

nothing has been heard of them since.

A LEGAL ANEcDoTE.-In an article in the London
Quarterly ReUieW, for April, reviewing Horace
Bnney's pamphlet relative to the old bar Of Phil
adelphia, we find an anecdote of an American law
yer, Jeremiah Mason, which We have never seen in
print before. 1t was told by Daniel Webster.
Mr.. Mason was engaged in defence Of Methodist
minister by the name of Avery, charge of
murder. The professional character of the prisoner
interested deeply his brother ministers, who in
numbers attended the trial. The case was serious,
and the advocate was absorbed intently watching
the progress of the evidence carefully noting it and
observing its effect upon the jury when one of these
ministers, who would now be called Spiritualist
was led to his side, and in great agitation said Mr.
Mason, Mr. Mason, have most important matter
to communicate The Archangel Gabriel came to
my bedside, this morning, and told me that Brother
Avery was Innocent" Without lifting his eyes or
pen from the paper, Mason replied, "Let him be
subpenaed immediately" and continued his work.

Nor A BAD JoKE.-A correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury writes from Saratoga Springs
an anecdote which he had Just heard from Demo
cratic friend there. His friend Mr.. NJ, so the story
goes, has in his possession portrait of Abraham
Lincoln. with whom he is we'll and Familiarity &C
quainted. A few days since, an ardent admirer and
political friend of the Republican candidate for the
Presidency was at the house of Mr. NJ, when the
conversation turned upon the subject of Laitte the
notorious buccaneer and freebooter of the Gulf of
Mexico, who once had his headquarters at Barrata-
ria Mr.. NJ. being a little inclined to bit of sly
un and well knowing the political proclivities Of
his friend inquired if he had any knowledge of the
youngest son of LATTE, at the same time informing
him that he had IN his possession portrait of the
younger Lafitte, which was Immediately produced
but so held that the name of the original could not
be seen as the portrait is not framed. The visitor
gaZed with wonder and establishment on the picture
before him. and exclaimed, with indignant feelings,
that all men could in the lneaments of that face
low cunning, deep and damnable treachery and
piracy, most distinctly marked. After indulging in
this train of remark for few moments, Mr.. NJ
slowly removed his hand from the lower part of the
picture, when the name of Abraham Lincoln was
disclosed TO his view, which completely paralyzed
the visitor, and for time rendered him speechess
While standing in that situation the blood receded
from his face and then as suddenly returned to it
he seemed perfectly appalled, by the judgment he
had so unwittingly pronounced against old Abe,
which he saw was but fair and impartial judgment
decision the picture before him, which is ad.
mitted to be correct likeness of the Republican
candidate for the Presidency. After the gentleman
had recovered bis speech, he inquired of Mr.. NJ, if
it was possible that that was correct portrait Of
Mr.. Lincoln? and being assured that by il he could
select him without difficulty from amongst ten thou
sand men, he was so overwhelmed by the incident
that Mr. NJ forbore to press the subject further up
on his attention, and, for the time no more was
said in relation to the matter"

CONTEMPT OF CoURT.-The distinguished jurist
Judge C., of North. Carolina, so Justly esteemed
for his abilities and estimable characteristics, dis
played an amiable trait in the incidents and anec-
dotes which it was usual with him to retail to his
admirinG associates. The point of their wit was not
unfrequently directed against himself Upon an oc-
caslon Of this kind, he remarked:

The soft brown tresses Nesting close
About tie mlk-white, rounded arm,
That half supports the dropping head,
And glossy weight OF truant curis
Escaping from the prsoning hand
OF large, white oriental pearls.
So still she lies, while languidly
The lashes dark, and soft. and sleek,
Yelling the lustrous orbs beneath.
Rest on the rose tinted ivory cheek,
While over lip and eyes and brow,
The warm, enamored moonbeams creep,
Encircling with their light The form

Ayers Ague Cure.

which ncutralizcs this malarious poison In the
blood, and stimulates the liver to eXpel IL from
the body. As 1t should, so it docs cure this af-
tlictivc disorder with perfect certainty. And it
does more, or rather does what is of more SER
vice to those subject to this infection. If taken
in season it eNpcls it from the system as it is ab-
sorbcd, and thus keeps those who use 1t free from
its attacks; keeps the system i'll health although
exposed to the disease. Consequently it not only
cures, but protects from, the great variety of af
fcrtions which arc induced by this malignant
influence, such rs Remittent Fever, Chill Fever,
Dumb, or Masked Aguc, Periodical Headache,
or Bilious Headache, Bilious Tcvers, Neuralgia,
rheumatism, Gout, Blindness, Toothache, Ear
ache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitations, Painful Af-
frctions of the Spleen, Mysteries, Colic Paralysis,
and Painful Affections of the Stomach and Bow
els, nl of which, when arising from this cause,
will be found TO assume more or less the intcrmt-
tent type. This "AGuE CURE" removes the cause
of these arrangements, and cures the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the cXcre-
tories to cXpcl the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become labited to do this
their office of their own accord. Hence arises
what we term occlimGtiop. Time may accomplish
the same end, but often life is not long enough or
Is sacrificed in the attempt, while this "AGUE
CURE" does it at once, and with safety. We have
great reason to believe this is surer as well as
safer remedy for the whole class of diseases
which are caused by the masmatic infection,
than any other which has been discovered; and
it has still another important advantage to the
public, which is that it is cheap rs well as good
