THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.

By late arrivals from the Coast of Africa, it ap
pears that the slave trade is carried on very vgor
ously, no less than fifteen thousand unfortunate
natives having been shipped from the south coast
durng the months of April and May. The war
between the tribes in the interior has consequently
been raging with great violence. The inhabitants
of the towns of Ibadan and lave are carrying on
deadly conflict with each other. The people of
Abbeokuta side with the Ijavans, and on the fifth
of June battle is reported to have taken place,
in which the Abbeokutans were defeated with
great slaughter. The Ashautces are also ihreate-
ming to attack Lagos and Cape Coast. This inter.
nal warfare is stimulated by the demand of the
slave trader for the victims Of his inhumgu traffic,
although the inherent barbarity Of the tribes is
moving cause of many of these forays. A signal
illustration of the fiendish nature of these petty
rulers Of Africa, will bo found in the account of
the preparations for the funera rites in honor Of
the late King of Dahomey, which are to be cee-
brated by his successor, in style of magni6cence
calculated to surpass all previous ceremonies of a
similar kind. A great pit has been dug which
will contain enough blood to float canoe, and two
thousand captives will be sacrificed. To supply
victims, attacks made upon the weaker neigh
bors of BADDAHUNG, the reigning king of Dahomey.
The young among the prisoners are destined to be
killed in honor of GEO. the deceased monarch.
The introduction of steam vessels also, has
revived the slave trade, and it seems almost i'm
possible to intercept these death freighted bar
ques' steam SLAYER which had been expected
on the coast for long time, succeeded in taking

he added that mandarin told him he had better
say he was willing, or he would certainly be
killed.
The torture consists in tying man up by the
thumbs and toes, and in other painful positions,
anu beating him; applying lighted stick to the
feet, binding the hands together, and then driving
wedge in between them; ducking him in the
water ard keeping him half drowned; and it is
alleged that some who attempted to escape by
swimming were harpooned by their countrymen
like fish. If in the receiving ship they would not
give their consent to 60, they were taken back in
to the Chinese boat for a renewal Of the torture
The system became so terrible last year that a
popular rising was apprehended.
Then the Governor of Cantcn tried severe meas,
ures. Convicted crimps were beheaded eighteen
on one day. and one woman who had been the
instrument Of kidnappers was subjected by the
authorities to mutilatons which 1t would be shock
ing to describe. Several kidnappers, also, were
killed by the mob, with a yndctve cruelty tc
which there was too much provocation. In these
circumstances Lagu acting Governor-General OIL
the Two Kwang, decorated with button Of the
first rank consented, notwithstanding the old
law forbdding Chinese to leave their country, tc
endeavor to put an end to this sale Of pigs, as II
is called, by substituting for it legalized system

with the Liberty party, inasmuch that the nomina.

THE REIGN OF TERROR IN TEXAS.
"uE EXCITEMENT IN TEXAS.

The late acts Of incen'arism in Texas. and the
evidence which gains credit there of more 'diahol
ical designs, have created an excitement in that
State which it is not possible for those at Q dist
auce fully to estimate.
Butthis state of public feeling may lead to an
xaggeraton of facts to the exaltation of suspicion
to thedguity Of proof; and harrassing inquisiton,
if not absolute danger, to honest strangers, and to
the perpetraton of acts of oruel injustice.
Tho following statement, made by we'll known
citizen Of New Orleans, affords painful illustra'
ton Of the feeling existing, and idea of the
wrong which may, in the haste of the excitement,
be doLe to the innocent.
Mr.. Savers, who has been for twenty years en-
gagged in buying and selling stock in this city, ear
Ily in the summer made trip to Texas with the
intention of purchasing and stocking farm. With
this chiect he made a tour through nearly all the
counties IF Northern and Middle Texas, and hap
pened tqshe near Dallas, on bis return to New Or
leans about the time the disastrous fire broke out
Iinthas place. From Dallas he travelled by stage
to Palestine, 10 Anderson County, finding the
whole people excited in the highest degree by tie
dangers about them. Failing to make connection
at Palestine with the stages to Crockett,he attempt
ed to procure private conveyance, as the delay
would interfere with his business arrangements
This anxiety TO reach Crockett, coupled with the
fact that he was stranger coming from the drec-
ton of Dallas, excited suspicion, and he found
himself surrounded by a crowd, who took him to
be an incendiavy. So far from being satisfied with
his explanations, and detailed history of his bu-
snoss and life, Meyjudged him to be an incendiary
and proposed to give him an introduction to Judge
Lynch.
Anticipating the worst, Mr.. Savers stood on the
defence drew his revolver and stated to the crowd
that if they had determined to hang him he would
sell his life as dearly as possible; and in his Ma
sonic character, he called upon the Masonic fra
terniy for aid. This appeal proved successful
for delay, and after more cool investigation he
was released.
This is a brief docount of the adventure in the
excited region of well known citizen of New
Orleans, himself slave hound, born in q slave
State, and identified with the institutions of the
South. The slightest suspicious were magnifed
into proofs of crime.
lie had come to that town from point where
the incendaries had been at work, and seemed de-
sirous to hasten out Of Texas, and his details of
his business, his personal reference to known cit-
zens of Crockett who were not present, and his
statement that he was in Texas with the design of
settlement, were discredited, and but for fortu-
nate appeal to other titles his life might not have
been saved. This case should warn the people of
Texas against precipitation under this excitement.

HORRORS OF THE COOLIE TRADE-A LE
CALLED SYSTEM OF FREE CHINESE
EMIGRATION

The last received number of the London Times
observes:
Some official Correspondence respecting emigra-
ton from Canton has been laid before Parlia-
ment, which shows the abominable character of
the Coolie trade carried on at Canton and Wham-
poa Foreign vessels arriving there to engage
and embark emigrant laborers, have sought the
assistance of native brokers, who, in their turu
have employed crmps (also Chinese) to collect
Coolies for them Thirty dollars head or more
were being paid last year for Coolies delivered on
board; arrived at Havana the contracts could be
sold at $400 head. An iniquitous system was
thus created, which grew until not only men were
invegled on board receiving ships false pretexts
such as promises of work, but force also was used
and no man could leave his house in open day
without danger of being hustled under false pre-
lenses of debt or delinquency, and carried off by
the crimps to be put on board ship and carried to
sea, never again to be heard of.
Chinese women have been employed. For in
stance a woman, with child on her back, caused
the child's bonnet to fall as she passed two men;
on their picking it up she expressed her thanks,
and offered them some cakes for their serVility;
these were eaten, and, being drugged, the men sat
down stupe6ed; the woman's confederates then
came up, offered to carry the two men home, but
lodged them in a receiving ship Instead
A few months ago, in consequence Of exposure
above 100 Coolies were rescued from receiving
vessels and described the way in which they were
kidnapped and got into boats, where they were
intmidated or tortured, in order to wiring from
them, when taken on board she receiving ship,

Cuba, deception being also practiced to make them
believe that their shipment had the sanction of the
authorities. i was very unwilling to CO. said

REPUBLICANS IN NEW YORK.

X ~ T.
In the Courier and Enquirer Of Saturday, August
Is, an article will be found which eays the creed
Of republicanism is that the constitution gives no
right to the general government to abolish slavery
in any of the States or Territories of the Union, and
Consequently it cannot confer any such right upon
any Territorial Legisature;' that lit is para
mount duty of the general government and the
object of its creation, to protect the States OF the
Confederacy in their right to establish and perpet
uate slavery that any attempt of Congress to abol-
sh slavery in the District of Columbia without
gross breach of faith that the negro is physical
ly, socially and morally in better condition as
slave in most Of the slave States than he would
be in state Of freedom;' and finally, that every
attempt on the part of persons not inhabitants of
such State to interfere with the institution where
it legally aud constitatonally exists, is a crime
against the Union ITSELF and that is is not only the
duty of all good citizens to frown down any such
attempt but, if necessary, to bear in defence
of the rights of every State to regulate it's inter-
nal affairs as to it may expedient.' To crown
ALL we are told that this is the creed of Seward
and Lincoln.
That is republioanism is it If James Watson
Webb should come into Ohio preaching 6uch re-
publicanism, he quickly would be told that it was
heresy and be ncontinently kicked into political
perdition without the benefit of clergy.

TWO FACES OF LINCOLN.

Some enterprising publishers recently issued
life-size lihographic portrait of Mr.. Lincoln, the
Republican candidate for the Presidency and it
is ugly that it gives great offence to the pOlfi-
cal friends of Mr.. L. We have examined the pic
ture at q distance for we had not the temerity to
go too near, and must confess that if Mr.. Lincoln
looks like that he must have won his ti:le of
rail splitter by merely smiling at the buttend OF
straitgrained logs, using horse-collar to grin
through in case the knots were more than usually
tough, and plentiful. In fact, the old adage of
handsome is who handsome does,' will not apply
60 Old Abe, for he never could be handsome am
way you can fix it, Prentice, of the Louisville
Journal, is a beauty beside him, and Hooper, of
Alabama, perfect Apollo.
This picture of Old Abe makes him appear as
ic his features were composed of the sweepings of
a Western gouging match where no eyes, or cheeks
or lips were of the same size yet all hudded togeth-
er higglety pigglety, making up physiognomy
that is fearful to behold. As an offset to this
genuine resemblance some of the hopeful young
men of his party have got up pretty face of Old
Abe, which in our opinion is just as much out of
drawing as the other, but not so picturesque If
Old Abe is ever elected President he will never
ddorn the White House, that's certain. We would
respectfully suggest, if it is his fate to be Chief
Magistrate that at the West-room levees the
guests De provided with out-glass prisms, which
might, by their distortion bring Old Abe's features
into something not altogether repulsive. If this
is impossible then he muat adopt the Japanese
Tycoon style, and give audience behind q screen.

their presence would not be tolerated in the state

TIMOTHY.

As spring is now come, and many farmers
may be short of hay, there is danger of theil
doing their meadows an irreparable injury by
turning GU their stock, and feeding down the
grass too closely. Especially is this the case
when the grass consists of timothy. This
plant has a bulbous root, in which the vitality
of the plant is concentrated, and from which
the stalks that produce the leaves and head
proceed. There is a mutual dependence be-
tween the root and the leaves. The leaves, as
in all plants and trees draw nutriment from
the atmosphere, and return it to the root, while
the root again returns it to the stalks and
leaves. Deprive a plant wholly of its leaves,
and keep it SO, and the root will die, as surely
as the leaves if deprived of the root.
Timothy should never be cut or fed lower
than within one or two of the lower joints of
the stalk. By an examination, after the plant
has ripened, and all the rest of the stalk be.
come dry, those lower joints will be found
green, and will remain so during the winter,
showing that nature requires them for the pro-
lection of the root. If these green portions
are cut OF, or fed of, the result will be the
death of the plant.
~ Great care, then, should be taken not to
feed timothy meadows too close. Horses,
sheep, hogs, ETC., should not be allowed to run
on timothy meadows, as the first two nips too
close, and the last will root up and eat the tu-
bers.-Ohio Farmer.
