REFUSES TO RECEIVE THEM-The Govern
nent Of Liberia has refused to receive the re-
captured Africans who were sent to that col
ony from Key West, and who were captured
by our cruisers and landed at Monrovia in
August last. The number of Africans thus
landed are about twenty-four hundred. The
American Colonization Society have a con-
tract with the U. S. Government under the
law of the last session, to take charge of all
these Africans for one year for the compensa-
ton of one hundred dollars a head; but the
Liberlan government refuses permission for
the negroes to remain in its territory, or I'M
der its protection, without the same compen-
sation which the Colonization Society is to
receive.
LINCOLN AND SOUTHERN STATRsMEN.-The
Boston Courier makes the following remark
able statements
Letters, have, to our certain knowledge,
been quite lately addressed, by persons in
the full possession of Mr.. Lincoln's confidence,
to leading statesmen of the South. We are
able to name the writers of some of these let
tets, and the individuals to whom they have
been addressed. In some instances these let
tiers have been confined to an emphatic asser-
ton of the conservative character of Mr.. Lin
coins administration, in general terms. He
will not recommend a repeal of the fugitive
slave law, nor the abolition of slavery in the
District OF Columbia, nor a prohibition of the
slave trade between the States; and his oppo-
sition to the admission of new slave States
will not extend to those carved out of terri
tory south of the 36t degree of latitude. To
: some persons, who, it has been thought,
might be approached confidentially, indirect
oyertures have been made to the effect that
Mr.. Lincoln wonld by no means confne him
sell, as far as the South is concerned, to his
own party, but would be willing to place dis
tinguished Southern statesmen of the Union
