IMPORTATION OF NATIVE AFRICANS
during the long second day of voyage we
examined the faces OF the prOetarians whose color
and constitutions well adapt them for the CvcIo
plan realms of the main deck. Among them we
detect several physiognomes which strike rs AS
senoHng seedlings from the Gold Coast rather than
the second or third fruits of ancient transplanta-
ton. fellow traveller gratities at the same time
our curiosity and our penetration. There are sew
eral native Africans, or, as they called in Cuba
oonzes, on board. They are the property of the

coup de main, at which l have already limited in
this letter. 1t seems that club Of planters in this
State, and one two others, resolved little more
than year ago, to import a cargo of Africans

by fancy to set the United States laws at defiance
and to evince their contempt for New England phi
lanthropy. The job was accepted by an Eastern
house, which engaged to deliver the cargo at n
certain point on the coast within certain limits of
time.
Whether the shipment arrived earlier than anti
cipated, or whether Captain Meacher was orioi
nally designed as the person to whom the bold and
delicate manouvre of landing them should be en-
trusted, it is certain that on certain Sundoy in
last July he took little coastipe trim in his
er Gar and appeared at Mobile on the following
morning IN season to make his regular yoyape mn
river 1t is no less certain that he ran the dusky
strangers 10 at night by unfrequented pass and
landed them among the cane brakes of his nrn
plantation with sufficient celebrity to be back at the
mornings of the Gar without his absence havnr
been noticed. The vessel from which the bonzes
were delivered was scuttled and sunk and the mas
ter and crew found their way north by rail.
But the parties in interest soon claimed to div;de
the spoils, when to their infinite disgust the en-
terprisng captain very coolly professed to ignore
the whole business, and defied them to seek to re-
cover by suit at law property the Importation or

proved a crcumstantial abb and. having cast the
claimants, doed them out few bonzes. perbaps to
escape assassination, shells, while he kept the
oyster in the shape of the pick of the importation

one OF the losers by this affair, and who stigmatized

STAGNATIoN OF BUSINESS AT MOBILE
In hooiie, Tor the hrst time since leaving Wash
iDgton, 1--WE realize" the entire stagnation of bust
ness. There are but five vessels in mort cb;aa,
English, which will suffice to carry awav the de6r;s
OF the cotton crop. Exchange on the North is nm
saleabe, owing to the impossibilitv of imnortinr
coin through the unsettled country and bills on
London are of slow sale at par, which would leave
proht OF seven per cent upon the Importation of
gold from your side. "
