America n Naturalized Citizens Abroad
THE English Government and Mexico

WASHINGTON, April II. The President
to-day transmitted to the Senate copies of ad-
ditional correspondence with foreign govern
ments concerning the rights of American ma
turalized citizens abroad 1t is conducted
throughout in good temper, the United States
in ali cases repudiating the doctrine of perpe-
tual legiance It appears from these documents
that twelve years ago the British Government
at the instance of Minister Bancroft released
two naturalized Hishmen who were suspec-
ted of aiding in the rebellion and engaged in
Unreasonable practices" Lord Palmerston,
however, declared that foreign born subjects
of Great Britain, who may have become ma
turalized in foreign country, but who return
to the United Kingdom, are as amenable as any
other of her Majesty's subjects to any laws
which may be in force, either of q permanent
or temporary nature.
The New Orleans Picayune, of Saturday,
cantains an extract from private letter, da-
ted Mexico, March 28th, stating that the Bri-
fish Minister has proposed q truce Of six
months at the utmost, during which Con-
gress is to be elected by the different States
Of the Republic. This Congress is to be uni
ted in Jalapa, which is to be declared neutral
ground under the protection Of the English
Government, and, if necessary, of English
troops. The Congress voted for by the nation
is to make q new Constitution, which will be
recognized, protected and enforced by Eng
land. The clergy disapprove ofthe proposition
but if they refuse it the English Minister will
Immediately take his passports and leave for
Vera Cruz where he will recognize the Juarez
Government.

Wreck of Slayer-.-Horrible Fate of

LoANpo W. G. A., Feb. Is, 1860.
On the 10th of this month, as Her Majes-
tvs steamer Gloucester was cruising to the
southwark of Cape Lopez, they made sail to
leeward. They Immediately put her before
the wind to give chase, which maneuvre the
fellow observing, he Immediately followed
suit, with view Of rounding Cape Lopez,
and probably escaping after nightfull, by run
ming into some of the small rivers inside of the
Blight of Biafra. He proved himself match,
however, for his'vessel sailed like witch, and
gained on the steamer nearly the whole day,
when at about five O'Clock q. thu affeEnoQn,
the Portuguese steamer Tagus hove in sight
on the weather bow, thus cutting off the fel-
lows chance of rounding the Cape. Seeing
his chance thus lost, he stood her directly on
the rocks of the cape. Just before shutdown
the Portuguese gave him the contents of sew
eral thirty-two Founders, which brought his
foretopmast down, and, as it was blowing al
most gale of wind, his iibboom followed d.
rectly after. However, the fellow stopped for
nothing, and, Just as night set in, drove her
high on the rocks off Cape Lopez, the Portu-
guese steamer by that time being in close
range, but the Gloucester was far behind

the brig struck, and was overwhelmed by the
breakers, the poor miserable creatures on
board, probably to the number Of five hundred,
set up howl of despair that could be heard
even above the roaring of the hungry sea.
But it was too dark by that time to see much,
and beyond human skill or power to aid the
drowning wretches, so that they soon must
have met their doom, for, on the next morn
ing, the beach inside Of the rocks was strewn
with corpses and the fragments of wreck.
Nothing was found, however, to reveal the
name of the SLAYER, or any other information
concerning her, save that to the practiced
seaman she proved of Baltimore build The
masters of the vessel are supposed to have es-
capped in their boat before she struck, and must
soon have gained the shore, as boat some

the oars near by. A good prize was thus
lost, and what is worse, probably five hundred
human beings were launched into eternity

Our Military Companies.

Mississippi, at the present time, can boast
of more volunteer Companies, than at any
other period Of our history. In almost every
county one company is organized, and fire.
quently two or more can be found in many Of
the counties. In Marshall county, we have
the Quitman Rife Guards and the Home
Guards, two as gallant companins as can be
found in the State. Other counties have also
splendid companies. Now, as tho Secretary
of the Agricultural Bureau, has made the
proposition to have general Military En-
campment in Holly Springs, at the State
Fair in October next, and to give two premi-
ums Of $500, and $50, to the two best disci-
plined and drilled companies in the State we
hope that every military Company in Missis-
sippi win be present We wish to see more
zeal and military spirit infused into the gall
liant sons Of Mississippi, and nothing could
have q greater tendency to arouse their mill
tary enthusiasm than meeting and general
Encampment OF all the volunteer companies
of the State. If Mr.. Williams proposition
meets with the general approval Of the volun-
teer companies of Mississippi, We will guar
antee that the Latch Strings" Of the doors Of
all our citizens, but more PARTICULARLY Of the
Home Guards, will be on the outside Of ev-
cry door, and we will use our best efforts to
give all who may honor us with their compa-
nv, COED old time welcome.-Holy Springs

Condition Of the Negroes in n. 7. City.

The statistics of the negro element in our
city population present some startling facts to
prove the moral, mental and physical decline
Of the race, when forced from its normal con-
dition of servitude to the superior race, into
the unnatural one Of so,called freedom" 1t
appears from the last State census that the
number Of negroes in New York city was
nearly 1900. Of this number, according to
the report of the Almshouse department in
1858, nearly $500, about one-third, are DEEPEN
dent for existence on the public charities
This number does not include those who may
receive aid from private sources. Strange as it
may at first seem, the criminal statistics for
the same year show that at least another third
of the negro population depend upon petty
thieyeries for a living. The character of the
crimes to which this class is addicted, is rath-
er of a meanerskind. Very few negroes be-
come burglars or murderers The balance Of
the negro population, the remaining one third
may be classed as respectable. This class
earns precarious living by following the pur-
suits of white washers, bootblacks, BARRIERS,
walters and some few get situations in
families as domestics. The number of negroes
who may be called independent, is quite-small.
Not more than twenty tax payers, and they
are generally intelligent. fellows, with three
quarters white blood in their veins.
The negroes of the two first classes, and a
very large proportion of the third class, live
in squaillid wretchedness in the lowest part of
the city. They abound in such localities as
the Five Points and Cherry street. The more
respectable congregate in the vicinity Of Prince
street.
But the register of births and deaths shows
the most interesting statistics. In 1858, the
total number of male and female negro chill
dren born during the year was 81, and the
number of deaths among the blacks for the
period was 400 This is tremendous dis
proportion. It is possible that the figures
for the number of births may not be exactly
correct, but even multiplied thrice, the dispro-
portion remains large. Is this not sufficient
to prove the fatal blith which the unnatural
condition of so-called freedom has forced upon
this unhappy people? Let the would-be
philanthropists compare these statistics with
those of any Southern plantation, and then
ask himself can that system be wrong under
| which people propagate the fastest and enjoy
the greatest amount of physical health and
happiness

A DIFFICULT QUESTION AHswERED.-Can
anybody tell why, when Eve was manufac-
tured from one Of Adams ribs, hired girl
wasn't made at the same time to wait on her ?
Exchange.
We can, easy Because Adam never came
whining to Eve with ragged stocking to be
darned, collar-string to be sewed on, or a
glove to be amended right away, quick, nowp
Because he never read the newspaper until
the sun got down behind the palm trees, and
then stretched himself yawning out, "Ain't
supper ready, my dear !? Not he Hemade
the fire and hung over the tea-kettle himself
we'll venture, and pulled the radishes, and
peeled the bananas and did every thing else
that he'd ought to He MIXED the COWS, and
fed the chickens, and looked after the pigs
himself. He never brought home halfa dozen
friends to dinner, when Eve hadn't any fresh
pomgranates, and the mango season was over!
He never stayed out until eleven O'Clock to q

-out candidate, and then scolded because
poor dear Eve was sitting up and crying inside
lythe gates To be sure he acted rather coward
about apple gathering time, but then that don't
depaeciate his helpfulness about the garden
never played billiards, nor drove fast horses,
nor choked Eve with cigar smoke. He never
loafed around corner groceries while solitary
Eve was rocking little Gains cradle at hows.
In short, he did not think she was specially
created for the purpose Of waiting on him,
and wasn't under the impression that it dis

The Battle of Solferlno--Treachery and
Corruption of Austrian Officers.

The AIIgemeine Zeitung states that since
the suicide of the Austrian General Eynatten,
who was detected in frauds upon the Govern
ment, it has been ascertained that it was
through his agency that the French were ap-
priced Of the intention of the Austrians to at
tack them, in advance Of SSlferino, and that
they were thus enabled to anticipate that
movement, and by marching very early in the
morning, to make the attack themselves
The grounds upon which this belief is based
are not given.
A curious mystery hangs over this matter
which time will probably clear up. A writer
in late number of the Edinburgh Review,
who was evidently in the Austrian camp at
the time Of the battle, and gives the Austrian
version Of the affair, states that the Austrian
army re-crossed the Mincio on the 23d Of
june for the purpose Of taking the French I'M
awares in the great plain between Tomato,
Montechiari and Castiglione, where Their cav
airy and flying artillery could beused to most
advantage-that they expected to meet the
French on the afternoon of the 25th, upon
the assumption that they would march at the
same rate as they had previously done, and
that they were only encamped for the night
at Solferina and the adjacent posts, with no
expectation of fighting there, but intending
to resume their march the next morning
In confirmation of this, he adds that the bag
gage and other in1pedimenta of the army were
brought up TO the front to be ready for march
ing, instead of being left in the rear, as they
would have been in the expectation Of an en-
gagement; and that the Emperor, with his
staff, remained on the other side Of the Min
clio, at valleggio and did not cross the river
uutll noon of the day Of battle. By some
means or other, the French became aware OF
the movements and position of the Austrians,
and frustrated their whole plan by moving at
2 o'clock IN the morning aud thus falling upon
the Austrians while still in camp and not at
all prepared for battle. This writer says that
on the evening Of the ed a small speck rising
in the air above Montechiari was visisible from
Valleggio, which proved to be a balloon, and
and he infers that the French became aware
Of the return movement Of the Austrian ar
my. The Allgemeine Zeitung, however, it is
seen, now attributes their knowledge to treach-
cry on the part of distinguished Austrian
General.

of meeting held on Tuesday evening, to de.
wise measures for the establishment OF direct
trade between that city and Belgium. After

at Charleston are not near so much crowded
as we expected. Good board, as we learn can
be had at respectable hotels for So per day.
The exorbitant prices which some of the
leading hotels proposed to charge has doubtless
frightened many persons away who would
have otherwise attended the Convention. But
many of the private citizens of the city have
opened their houses for the accommodation of
Delegates as well as visitors We hope the
extortioners of Charleston will find out that
when the Convention adjourns they viii not
be so rich as they anticipated short time
since. We have no enmity against the hotel
keepers of Charleston, but "when men make

always feel gratified to see them thrown the
